Tommy'd make sure she iced her eye and stay with her for a while. [black eye meme]
My muse has a black eye but refuses to talk about it, how does your muse react?
When it came to small talk over drinks between strangers, Leon hardly ever strayed from the one or two word response: âWeatherâs nice,' 'Yep.'Â But, with that being said, he would definitely chose mindless chat over complete silence.
The man that Leon was twenty-plus years ago wouldnât recognize the man that sat at the bar, sipping at his beer and not challenging every guy in there to a fight. Yeah, the old Leon would have been up and partying with Frankie without a second thought.
But life had a funny way of pulling the rug out from under a guy, especially when he was up so high that he thought nobody could touch him. In hindsight, Leon knew that his younger self was dealt a losing hand and he still went all in.Â
He swore to himself that he wasnât going to let the world catch him off guard like that ever again. He was going to be a pillar of the community, or be the âsame man on Sunday morning as Saturday night,â as those country songs he liked always said.
There was a small smile on his face as he tried to laugh at her little line, but it sounded too forced, too much like pity. â Hey, I ainât here to judge, â he held his hands up in defense before finishing off his beer. â Iâm sure thereâs a good reason for it. It was a guy, Iâm guessinâ. â
Frankie nodded, not even needing to roll her eyes, as the tone was clear enough in her voice. âWhen isn't it,â she said. âI sure know how t' pick 'em.â
She was loosening up, little by little --- she was a complete extrovert, needing constant attention and socializing, so really even if the chatting was about nothing in particular, it helped. And this guy, this Leon, he seemed...nice. Approachable. And she liked his accent. She was a bit too drunk to form much more coherent thoughts than that, but she was pleased to be in his presence, nonetheless.
She was needy, and dependent, and it was only natural that she latched onto the first man she saw. Men caused her pain, and she needed men for support. It was a vicious cycle.Â
âBut, let's talk about you instead, yeah?â she suggested, sniffing as she raised her beer bottle. âWha' is it you do, Leon?â

He kissed her to make her stop talking, although that might have been a bad idea on his part. Pulling away he mumbled, "Shut up Frankie. Sheâll be fine. I promise you sheâll be fine.â For some stupid reason he thinks itâs a good fucking idea to kiss Frankie again, using tongue this time.
She's drunk, but even sober she would have kissed him. Well, with more trepidation about her no less than terrifying brother finding out, but she was drunk, and it was the furthest thing from her mind.
Her acrylic-nailed hands found either side of his face, and she stumbled forward until she'd cornered him against the wall. It was mostly by accident. She pulled back a moment to look at him but no words would come out. She just blinked, her eyes a bit sticky with tears, before leaning up to kiss him again (though, he was a fair bit taller than her, so it took some effort).
"Itâs okay.. Shh, itâs okay.. Iâm here now, Frankie. Weâll find her in the morning.â He kisses her cheek softly, hugging her against him tightly. âShe probably did what you used to and ran off to a boyâs house, yeah?â
âYeah, that's wha' I'm scared of...â She rubbed her eyes. âI would'a told Fred about this but, you know him, he would'a killed the kid t' take 'er in. I just... I dunno what to do. I just need support. Sorry t' make you come all the way out 'ere t' deal wif my drunk arse...â She pressed her face to his chest, attempt- ing to stifle her crying.
He groans sleepily, playing with a bracelet he was wearing. âLemme get dressed, ok, Franky? Iâll be there soon.â He hung up and got dressed. âââ Knocking on her door, in just sweatpants and a wifebeater, he waited for her to answer. "Frankie, itâs Tommy boy. Itâs alright lemme in, love.â
Frankie immediately wrapped her arms around Tommy the second she opened the door, pulling him inside. She was drunk, which was obvious, only haven gotten worse after the twenty minutes of waiting for him to arrive since they hung up. âDaph...Daph hates me. She run off. I'm so shit, Tommy...â
âTommy, can you come over?â Her voice is nearly silent from the other end of the line, the phone trembling in her hands. âI fucked up. I need...(hic) ...I need someone.â
"Hell, if he found out about this Iâm sure heâd gut me now." With that, Tommy stood and knelt in front of Frankie, pecking a kiss to her cheek. âIâll come back next week, yeah? We can have dinner and everything, just donât tell Freddie.â
She smiled, bashfully; she was always easily taken in by anything a man said to her, really. It was why she got herself into so much trouble with all the wrong people.Â
âDinner sounds nice,â she told him with a soft smile, then. â...I won't tell that bastard a f'ing. I never do, y'know.â

âWhere're we goin', babe?â
He sighed, âYou arenât a loony. Youâre beautiful and I honestly wish Iâd taken you out of this shit hole when I left. Then again you were with that asshole that threatened to kiil me just for looking at you.â
Frankie pressed her lips together to stop from crying, but she couldn't prevent the tears from glossing her eyes. It was more than flattery coming from Tom, and she took it to heart.Â
â---Yeah, that's Archie alrigh'. The dick. Had the gall to be keep me all to 'imself at the same time he was shagging that whore from Pussycat's.â She took a drag, averting her eyes. âYou would'a treated me right. I know that much. You're a good man, Tommy. But Fred would'a gutted you if Arch didn't.â
"Eh, but I still got baggage. Hell, first couple of summers here, the johns thought I was a fuckinâ rent boy. Iâve forced myself to be normal, to be boring, because I thought thatâs what I wanted. What if I was wrong, Frankie?â
Frankie's cigarette began collecting ash as she watched him. âTo be com- pletely honest, Tommy... I can't see you bein' anyfing but borin' and normal. --- It... It's a good f'ing, though. It's a good bal- ance to the rest of us loonies.â
He laughed, âI never thought I could do much better. Hell, heâs still my only friend..â Rubbing his face with a sigh he leaned back on the couch. He looked her up and down again before speaking, âIâd like to make it up to you, Frankie. Make up the shit childhood we both had, we can.. I can stay..â
Frankie watched him a moment, leaning back against the chair as her cigarette idled between her fingers. âI's only playing, you know? About you comin' t' this side o' f'ings. Truf is, you can do be'er 'n this. You ain't got the same baggage, y'know? As me n' Fred. He'll never be normal. And I try but I ain't there yet.â
"I used to get the shit beat out of me if your brother wasnât around, Frankie. The only fun I had was in my room reading a book, honestly. I love Freddie like heâs my own flesh and blood, but heâs always been so god- damn thick. Actually, I did have fun chasing you around..â
Frankie chuckled as a memory popped into her head. âI remember takin' the kitchen hose to you boys a time or two. Whole kitchen looked like a bloody water park.  Mum kicked the tar outta me for that, though. --- I always got blamed for your shit, y'know that?â She laughed a little, taking a quick drag. âI hated Freddie back then. Literally, I hated 'im. Rupert wasn't no better, neivver. ...He didn't deserve a friend like you, y'know? He's still a dick.â
He chuckled, shaking his head, âYou really oughtta find yourself a fellow that sticks around, Frankie. Itâd be better on you and the boys, but no I donât. Iâve got no one back in Camden either.â
Frankie lit her cigarette and puffed casually. âI try, y'know. I do. I just got a bad habit o' pickin' the wrong fellas.â She didn't like lingering on that thought, but it was clear in her eyes that she was.  â--- You know, why d'you stay over in Camden, anyway? You always had more fun on the east end, didn't you?â
"Oh trust me, I fucking did! That asshole said Sarah wasnât any good so of course I punched him! What else was I supposed to do?"
âOh my God, haha! He deserved it, though. The dick. Who says somefing like 'at to a li'le girl, anyway? I hope you broke 'is nose.â She chuckled and pulled her legs up onto the sofa, sitting Indian- style. âI broke this guys' toe once. Smashed it right wif my heel. He was hitting on my Daphne. I mean, she don't look fifteen bu' she is. An' that was a year ago, anyway. Bastard.â
For once, Michael expected the sudden contact, Frankie was hammered â and Freddieâs sister he knew what to expect from this mad bunch already, âYeah â weâve been meaning to for a while, just picking the right time,â A slight pause and the engineer grinned, âWanna meet your nieces?â
âI do! They're how old, now?â she asked, stepping over a few spare toys in the hallway and silently cursing her kids for leaving them out. She made her way toward the kitchen to see the twins.
