"Last night was great, we got just what we needed, my guy even snuck into your room last night, turned on the light and got two rolls of you two sleeping together," he said laughing.
"What? You had no right! My room is private. What if she had woken up and seen him?"
"She didn't, I told you when I picked you up off the street that this was going to involve some candid pictures of Baby Kane and you said that you were cool with it. By the way rumor has it that you were trying to skip town last night."
"Rumor is wrong, it was a ploy to let Bianca know how precious I am and since she was in bed with me it obviously worked," Frankie lied, if he knew she had really tried to leave. "Anyway," she said changing the topic of conversation, "You know we didn't do anything right?"
"Does it matter? Oh and dancing in the snow, nice. You have been keeping a log haven't you? I want quotes from Bianca and everything that happens between you in detail, do you understand?"
"Yeah, I got it, okay?"
"Well try to get her into bed by Christmas, I'll be in touch."
After they'd hung up Frankie picked up her own personal journal that she'd bought the day before. She had to let her true feelings out one way or another, she just prayed no one ever saw it.
She pulled out a pen and started writing:
I don't know what to do, I have so many questions now, about my life, about myself, I think, I know that I've fallen in love with Bianca, I love her and I want her, more than I've ever wanted anything. Before I never thought much about my sexuality but now it's always on my mind and it's so confusing, I've never felt this way for a guy, but then one's never treated me like Bianca does, she makes me feel like I'm special and I know that I matter to her. But I like guys so I guess that I'm bisexual. All I know for sure is that every time I look at her I want to reach out to her and I want her to know everything about me. I also know that she's beautiful, she's the most beautiful woman that I've ever seen. She has the most beautiful hair and it's so soft and silky, and her eyes, they seem to look right into my heart. She doesn't know what I'm doing to her or that I was just out to scam her in the beginning but she does know the real me, better than anyone ever has. If I could just stop all of this right now I would but I can't because they'll find a worse way to hurt her to get back at me. What I'm doing will hurt her so much but they would destroy her and I won't let them. Last night when we kissed I wanted it to last forever, I'm so happy with her and I would be more than content if every time I woke up I saw her smiling at me. God I love her.
Bianca stepped out of Myrtle's car and told her goodbye with a smile, if only her mother was more like Myrtle, Myrtle accepted her no matter what. She took out her key and opened the door to see her mother sitting on the couch drinking a cup of coffee, she looked up as Bianca walked in.
"I'm so glad that you came home!" Erica said hugging her and Bianca hesitantly hugged her back.
"Mom, we need to talk-,"
"If it's about that awful Frankie girl-,"
"That 'awful Frankie girl' is my girlfriend and we love each other. If you can't accept that I'll leave, right now."
"Bianca, honey, don't be rash."
"You know Frankie told me not to move out, to try to get along with you, she even threatened to leave if I chose her over you, well I will choose mother, you should thank God for Frankie because without her I wouldn't even think about looking at you right now."
"I don't know why you hate me so-,"
"I don't hate you! I love you, Mom, I really do but I love Frankie too and she's not the one trying to make me choose between the two of you."
"I'm not making you choose."
"Mom, you need to except the fact that I'm gay."
"I do except that you are... gay-,"
"Really, do you remember Gabriel Devane? You practically begged him to sleep with me."
"I did no such thing!"
"Yes you did! You invited him to dinner, packed us a picnic, you did everything but give him the key to my bedroom!"
"Don't treat me like a criminal, my only crime is loving you."
"All I want is to be normal, to have a normal relationship with a person who loves me as much as I love them. I love Frankie with all of my heart and I won't let you take that away from me," and with that she went up the stairs and slammed her door.
