Gerard's POV
I want to call Frank. I should call him Frankie. "Frankie" I whispered to myself.
I should call him. I shook my head. What if he's busy, what if he's talking to someone better than me. I don't know.
I got out my phone and dialed Lyn-Z's phone number.
"Hello?" She answered her phone.
"Hey Lyn-Z um… I was thinking about us"
"What do you mean by us?" She asked me. She sounded mad.
"I mean…. Um…. Us as couple."
"What about us as a couple?" still she sounded mad. Why?
"Do you remember that guy who did your tattoo the other day?"
"Yeah um… Frank right?"
"Mhm…" I sighed, then continued, "I… I actually have a… mild… crush on him."
Lyn-Z sighed. "I knew it. Well isn't it just so great that I lost my boyfriend to a tattoo artist that you barley met 2 days ago?"
"I'm sorry Lyn-Z It's just there's something about him, something I really like about him. And I think he likes me too." I caught myself smiling while I got the image of Frank in my head.
"You know what… Whatever, I don't care. It just matters if you're actually happy."
"Really? Well I'm glad that you aren't really mad at me. I thought you'd be all pissed and stuff, honestly"
"No… it's cool. I mean there is some other guys that are dying to be with me right?"
"Um, yeah I guess so?" I told her, I guess I was a bit jealous.
"Mhm… well bye Gerard, I hope to see you, and I hope we can still be friends."
I nodded even though she couldn't see it, "Bye…" I hung up. Well that was a bit awkward.
I should call Frank shouldn't I?
I got out the card that read Sparks Fly tattoo shop. I dialed in Frank's phone number. I had butterflies in my stomach; I was shaking just a little, I'm afraid to talk to him.
"-Ello…" Frank answered the phone, I love his sweet voice, it's so cute.
"Hey… It's me Gerard"
"Oh hey Gerard," I could tell he was smiling while he spoke to me.
"Hey… um, are you um, f..free to hang out with me or something?" I asked him, I could so tell I sounded nervous. The fact that I knew I sounded nervous made me even more nervous.
"Oh… um… actually I'm hanging out with a friend. Actually it's the girl that you're going out with… Lyn-Z"
"Wait, what?"
"Yeah Lyn-Z she came over to the shop and asked if I would want to hang with her. And so hey, why not?"
"Oh… I actually broke up with her."
"Oh really? Maybe that's why she was acting like a little flirt. She seems like a really nice girl. She's pretty hot too by the way"
I sighed. "Would you ever consider going out with her?"
"Um… well I guess, she just told me that you broke up with her. So… um, you wouldn't have a problem with us being together right?"
"um… nope, not at all" I lied.
"Coo- hey, well I'm ganna go now bye Gerard"
"Bye"
My ex-girlfriend had just stolen my crush. What's her problem, really?
What am I supposed to do now.
I should forget about Frank.
But, he's too beautiful.
