11 Chapter 11 (1/2)
Frank's left arm twitches, as his lips quiver. Suddenly he takes a deep breath before waking up.
He sits up, lifting his left hand up to wipe his forehead.
As his hand come in contact with his forehead, he feels something wet on his hand.
He retracts his hand and looks at it, he could see clear drops rolling down his fingers.
He soon realized that it is, in fact, his sweat and very soon he realizes that his body is sweaty. He turns his head to his right and sees that Gillian's bed is empty, he could see the towels she used last night, laid out on her bed.
That was when he suddenly heard clapping sounds from the bathroom, he could see the door wide open.
”Good afternoon Frank,” Gillian says, ”sorry, I am almost done” she adds.
”Good morning” Frank answers back, before moving to the edge on his bed to stand onto his feet.
He manages to get onto his legs and proceeds to walk to his suitcase. When he reached his suitcase, he kneeled beside it, unzipping the top and pulling out a clean tanked top and clean underwear.
”How are you now, Frank?” Gillian asks him, walking out of the bathroom, ”I hope you are doing better” she adds as she looks at him.
Frank looks at Gillian and is mesmerized by her look. Her ginger hair is slightly curled and he could see that she applied a bit of makeup onto her face.
”Why, why makeup, you don't need any makeup, you are beautiful without it,” he thinks to himself as he continues examining her.
He could see that she is wearing a grey top, along with a colourful, thin scarf around her neck.
On top of her grey shirt is a brown, leather jacket, her legs were covered by a pair of light blue, skin-tight denim jeans and for her legs, she's wearing a pair of brown, heeled boots.
”Y-yeah..” he answers as he continues on looking at Gillian. ”What?... Is... is it my outfit?” she asks him as she looks down at herself.
Immediately, Frank replies ”no, no, no, no...”, ”You... you look stunning” he adds, smiling at her.
”Well, thank you” Gillian replies.
”I am glad you like it” she adds a few moments later.
”And... I am glad that you feel better” she adds, smiling at him, after a brief moment of silence.
He looked at her again, appreciating her presence.
”So, tell me...” he begins.
”Yes?” she asks him.
”Did you steal those clothes from somewhere while I was asleep?” he jokes around with her.
Gillian gives him an annoying and dirty look, ”I am glad to have you fully back too...” she tells him, ”and no, I got it from my luggage” she adds.
”But you said you left it at the airport,” Frank tells her.
”No... not left, It got lost” Gillian corrects him. ”And apparently, someone found it and delivered it right outside that door there,” Gillian says, pointing to the main door.
”This all happened while I was zonked out?” Frank asks Gillian to double check.
”Yes” she begins, ”at least as far as my memory serves me” she adds.
”Sooo... how long was I asleep?” He asks her.
”Ugh, so many questions” she jokes around with him, ”you were zonked out for about...” she suddenly stops to check the time on her wrist watch, ”6 hours” she finished the sentence.
”6 hours! Wow” Frank reacted.
”Yeah... good luck with sleeping tonight” Gillian smiles at him, joking around.
”I'll manage” Frank replies, smiling back.
”Anyways, I am off to have a shower, I shall be out soon” he adds, beginning to walk towards the bathroom.
”Gillian looks at him, and turns around facing his bed, but suddenly she sees that he forgot his towel. ”Hey! Frank?” she calls out, grabbing his towel into her hands.
Frank stops, as he heard her calling out his name. He turns around facing Gillian.
”You would not want to forget this” Gillian says as she tosses the towel at Frank.
Frank easily catches the towel, before walking into the bathroom, closing the door behind him.
Gillian watches Frank swiftly entering the bathroom and closing the door shut, she looks at the door for another moment or two.
She begins to walk slowly walks around the room. ”Something about him is... is just...” she says, turning around looking at the closed door once again.
Frank takes off his bloodied tanked top, after his tanked top, he proceeds on pulling down his boxers and just then, he enters the bathtub.
