Chapter six: Pour your heart out part one
'Danny! Which one: Monsterhouse or The Holiday?
'Seriously? You have to ask?' Danny said sticking his head out from the kitchen.
'I guess not' Frankie replied to the look on his face. 'Monsterhouse it is then'
'Awesome!' she heard him say which put a smile on her face.
'When's Doug coming over?' she yelled back.
'Right now' she heard Doug say as he stepped into the living-room. 'The one and only has arrived' he added bowing down to Frankie.
'Funny, Doug, or maybe you prefer the All-mighty-one'
'Finally, someone who appreciates my true potential' he said in a deep voice. 'Now it's not long before my reign over this world can commence'
'Huh? Do you even understand half of what you just said?' Frankie asked sceptically.
'Hm, understand is a strong word' he said slowly stroking his cheek, thinking-style. 'But Tom explained reign to me the other day, so almost'
'Great, I'll explain the rest to you one day, young Doug. You have much to learn, prospective apprentice.'
'I'll look forward to that day, master' he added with a chuckle that made both of them break into a laughing fit.
---
'What are you two up to?' Danny asked as he came back into the living room. 'Planning your upcoming world-dominance again?'
Frankie and Dougie looked at each other before speaking at the same time, 'Always' which made them laugh even harder.
'If you behave, maybe we'll make you, like first treasurer or something' Dougie managed to get out while inhaling deep to stop laughing.
'Oh, wow, first treasurer' Danny said sarcastically while shaking his head. 'Frankie, sometimes it scares me to see how well you fit in wit us'.
'I know' Frankie began, now serious. 'It scares me too sometimes, makes me fear the dark and look under my bed before sleeping and…'
'Fear my closet and see everyone as potential blood-sucking vampires' Dougie filled in.
'You two' Danny said pointing at them 'can be so annoying sometimes'
'It's our one true gift to this world' Doug said with a deep voice.
'Fine, we'll stop now.' Frankie said trying to contain her laughter. Let's just watch the movie'
---
Frankie loved how close she had gotten to Danny and the others over the last couple of months, and now it was like she had know them for ages. Whenever Danny and the boys were at home, the all spent a lot of time together, and she was, literally, having the time of her life.
The finished watching the movie and it was well after midnight before anyone even realised.
'I suppose I should get going' Frankie started with a yawn, but didn't move a muscle.
'Want to stay?' Danny asked looking as tired as she probably did.
'If it's ok'
'Oh, can I stay too?' Dougie asked sleepily. 'I can't be bothered to walk all the way home.'
'It's up to Frankie; after all, she's the one you have to share a bed with'
'Can I stay Frankie? Please' Doug said while making the cutest puppy-dog-face.
'Ahw, how can I say no to that' Frankie said while pinching him in the cheek. 'As long as you stay on your side of the bed'
'I promise' he said while placing one hand over his heart.
'Come on then Doug, Let's go have ourselves a good old fashioned slumber-party' Frankie said before giving Danny a small wink. '
'Oohh, slumber party! With pillow fights in underwear and stuff like that' Doug said all signs of sleep washed away from his face.
'Yeah right' Danny said before getting up from the couch and turning the TV off. 'I'm off to bed, see you two tomorrow' he said and gave Frankie a hug before leaving for his own bedroom.
Frankie turned around to see where Doug was but only caught a glimpse of his back as he ran to the guest-room. She smiled to herself as she followed him.
---
'Hm'
'Hm what?' Dougie asked as he turned around to face her.
'Are you going to sleep like that' Frankie said referring to his jeans and sweatshirt. 'Or would you like to borrow something?'
'Am I no good to you like this?' he said acting offended. 'You only want me for my body, admit it'
Frankie chuckled lightly and shook her head before walking over to her bag. 'I haven't got that much to offer, since this isn't my apartment and I don't want to wake Danny up, but it's your choice, pink or yellow?'
'Tough choice' he said before snatching the pink one from her hands and putting it on. The words "Do my boobs look big in this one?" was sprawled across it in big white letters.
'So, do they?' he asked with an innocent look on his face.
'Bigger than mine, now, lets just get some sleep ok? We can talk about your would-be boobs tomorrow'.
'Fine, but I won't forget it'
'I'm sure you won't. Good night, Dougs'.
'Night, Franks'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A couple of days later Frankie came home to find a note on her door. Confused she opened it and read through it several times before she registered what it actually said.
She was being evicted, she couldn't believe it, the thing that she loved the most was being ripped from her hands just like that. She only had two weeks to get her stuff together and move and she was suddenly overcome with feelings. What was she going to do?
Her phone started ringing and without thinking she picked it up to her ear and answered.
'Hello'
'Hey, it's me Danny, what's up?'
'Eh' she started but couldn't find anything else to say.
'Frankie, are you alright?' Danny asked his voice suddenly serious and filled with worry.
'Um, no'
'What's wrong? Wait, are you at home?'
'Yeah'
'Ok, stay right there, don't move a muscle, I'll be right over'
'Ok' Frankie said before hanging up.
Danny's pov
Danny was running out the door before even hanging up the phone. He jumped in his car and drover off towards her house. His mind was filled with different scenarios about what could be affecting Frankie like this. She was always happy and talkative and it worried him that something had gotten her this upset.
He turned the last corner and the car came to a sudden stop outside her apartment building. He raced up the stairs to the second floor and paused to take a deep breath before knocking on her door.
When she opened he could directly tell that something was wrong. She had this dejected look on her face and she looked tired, like she had something heavy weighing her down.
'Hi' he said softly and pulled her into a warm hug.
'Hi' she said to his shoulder and he could hear her sighing quietly.
'What's wrong? You sounded so upset on the phone.'
'I'm being kicked out of my apartment'
'What?!'
'Yep, I found a note when I got home before. I've got two weeks to pack up my stuff and then I'm out of here'
'But, I don't understand, they can't just do that, can they?'
'Apparently they can. They're turning the building into luxury apartments for senior citizens or something, and that there's nothing I can do, because they have the right or something like it.'
'Wow, I don't know what to say. What are you going to do now?'
'I have no idea' she said while making her way into the living-room, running her hand along the wall as she walked. 'God, I can't believe I'm going to lose this place'
Danny sat down besides her placing his arm around her shoulders squeezing them lightly. This was too much information to take in. He knew how much Frankie loved her apartment, how it was her safe place, and he desperately wanted to say the right words to make it better but nothing came out.
After another couple of seconds an idea popped into his head.
'You should move in with me'
'What?' she said looking at him with a sceptical look on her face.
'Yeah, you should move in with me, at least until you find a place of you own'
'Oh, Dan, that is really sweet of you, but I couldn't'
'Why not? I've got the space, and besides, I'm hardly ever home so you'd practically have the place to yourself'
'I don't know' she began hesitantly.
'Well, then I'm deciding it for you. I'll get the boys to help out and before you know it everything will be ok again'
'Ok, if you're sure'
'Of course I'm sure. You're my best friend and we'll have a great time, I promise!'
'Fine, I suppose I can stop worrying for while now' she said with a small smile. 'Thank you'
'Anytime' Danny said while hugging her again. 'Anytime'
Moving-day: Danny's pov
Danny still couldn't believe that Frankie was moving in with him. It seemed like only yesterday that they met for the first time and now, here they were: best friends and soon to be roommates.
He had gotten all the boys to come over and help move her stuff, but to be honest, no one was really helping. Doug and Harry were busy playing with the bubblewrap and Tom had disappeared to somewhere with his guitar.
'Hey guys, come on and help me with these boxes' he shouted to Doug and Harry who were now wrestling on top of the bubblewrap, making popping noises every time they moved.
'Fine' Harry said with a pout and grabbed the box Danny held out for him. 'Where's Frankie anyway?'
'She's over at my place. Take that box and if the car is full, drive it over there, will you?'
'Sure'
Harry left with the box and minutes later they could here the sound of an engine starting up and a screeching sound when he sped of.
He and Doug relocated to the bedroom to finish packing up all the things in there but soon found themselves distracted.
Frankie's pov
Frankie walked up the stairs and entered her apartment quietly. It had been a long day and she was tired, the move was wearing her out but not as much as hanging with the boys. She had a feeling that they could turn just about anything into a laughter-fest, and she chuckled lightly as she thought about it.
'Anyone here?' She said out loud. "Hm, that's weird" she thought to herself, Danny and Doug should be here somewhere.
She took of her coat and walked towards the kitchen when she heard muffled voices coming from her bedroom. She walked up to the door and opened it slowly.
'Hey, Dougie, if you're in there with a girl again, when you're supposed to help me move, I swear that I will…'
She walked through the door and stopped when she saw Danny sitting on the bed and Dougie desperately trying to cover himself with a pillow.
'Eh, what the…'
'What are you doing here? I thought that you were over at my apartment setting up' Danny said with a guilty expression on his face.
'I thought I'd come back here and help you guys finish up'. Frankie said while turning to Dougie who then drops the pillow revealing that he is wearing on of Frankie's bras.
'So, Doug, may I ask why you're wearing my bra.'
'Well, you see…He started off blushing heavily. 'Ehrm, I felt that my eh, chest muscles were getting a bit big and that I was I need for some support. So, yeah…'He said looking at her with a hopeful expression covering his face.
'Ok, you know that I have a training bra that might suit your "muscles" better' She said with a huge grin on her face.
'Thanks, but I kind of like this one' He answered picking at one of the shoulder straps.
'It's not very masculine though' she said pointing to the pink lace.
'Well, I'm man enough to pull it off! I'll tell you that much' Doug said while flexing one of his biceps at her.
'I'm sure that you are' she said wiping a few tears from her eyes and still trying not to laugh. 'I'll just leave you two to it then' She adds while backing out of the room and giving them a strange look.
Back to Danny's pov
When Frankie closed the door Danny quickly turned back to Doug.
'Chest muscles?! That's the best thing that you could come up with?'
'It was all the pressure. I couldn't cope with it. I cracked. I'm sorry man'
'Pressure, yeah. Well, she'll just add this to her "weird stuff that we do that she can use as blackmailing material on us when we piss her off-list"'
'There's a list like that?' Doug asked with a puzzled look on his face.
'Of course there is, she's a girl isn't she?!'
They both laugh at that comment before Doug realized something.
'Oh, by the way, how does the black one feel with a shirt on?'
'Surprisingly comfortable'
