Frankie Ackerman has been a prize in Xiomara’s eyes for decades now, stretching back to their days at Edison High School. Except Xiomara had a boyfriend back then, and shortly after, a baby on the way. But even then, when she was just a teenage girl who should’ve been preoccupied by the only guy she’s been in a relationship with, Xio always thought Frankie was beautiful. Beautiful in a way straight girls simply did not think about other girls. A schoolgirl crush is what it was. Though she tried ignoring it, butterflies fluttered in her stomach from being in Frankie’s proximity alone. By the time Xi made peace with some hard truths about herself, Frankie was gone, married to a very lucky woman the last she had heard. But life, the son of a bitch it can be, it happens, and it just so happens to have led them both to The Phoenix tonight. Xiomara had spotted the unmistakable red curls at the bar, immediately captivated by who she swears is still one of the most beautiful women she’s ever seen. Wherever she was going before doesn’t matter. She makes her way over to Frankie, sliding up next to her. “What’re you drinking, Red? Let me get the next one,” Xio smiles.
