Chapter 8: Ain't No Messing With Texas

Frank sat on that couch all night and held her while she slept, not once letting go until four in the morning. She began to whine in her sleep and mumble something Frank couldn't understand. She started to wake up. She sat up quickly and looked around confused.

"What's wrong?" Frank asked.

She looked at Frank and looked embarassed. "Nothing." She said quickly.

"Tell me." He said yawning.

She looked down at her hands. "Nightmares." She said almost too quiet for Frank to hear.

"It's okay." He said soothingly.

"No it's not." She said getting up and going to sit in the kitchen.

"Yeah it is. Even soldiers get them. A lot of soldiers get them actually."

"Do you?" She asked.

"No. I haven't seen action."

She nodded, she was having trouble getting the images out of her head and it showed on her face.

"Denise. Come on."

"What?" She asked getting up.

"We're going on a walk."

"Why?" She asked. "It's four in the morning"

"But riding around on a horse at three in the morning is all good."

She laughed and gave in. "Fine, let's go." She said.

Frank was only wearing his pajama pants and Denise was wearing one of his large shirts.

"Should we change first?" She asked.

"Why? I have nothing to hide" He smirked.

"Um I do." She said laughing looking down. The shirt she was wearing came just below her hips.

"You look hot. So what?"

She blushed and looked away. He kissed her cheek and walked her out. Denise immediately got paranoid and pushed Frank in front of her to hide her.

"No one will see you." He said. She giggled and came out from behind him. He put his arm around leaned on his chest as they walked.

"This is nice." She said.

"Walking outside half naked always is." He joked. Denise blushed once again and hid her face in his chest, he loved how embarrassed she got,it was cute. "You are too cute."

She looked up at him and stuck her tongue out at him and laughed. He picked her up and placed her on a pool table.

"Frank!"she said shocked. "We are in public!"

"Keep yelling and we will be."

She laughed. "Let's go home."

He shook his head.

"Why?"she asked

"Don't want too." He said like a little kid.

Denise smiled and decided to play his game, she stuck her bottom lip out. "But it's cold." She said.

He smiled. "You know I can't deny you anything." He said falling even more in love with her.

"That's the point." She said smiling.

"You're evil Denise." He smirked as they walked back up.

"Tell me something I don't know." She said laughed then stopped walking.

"Like what?" He blushed.

"I don't know." She laughed and put her arms around his neck. "I'm tired." She said.

"Lets me see. You ask me any question and I'll answer it."

"Like what?" She asked. "Carry me."

He laughed and did as told. "Anything." He whispered.

She smiled and kissed him. "You are too sweet." She said.

He smiled. Her comment seemed to make all the wrongs he did disappear. She was falling asleep while he carried her back to the apartment. When he got there he placed her on the couch. She woke up the second he let go of her.

"So close." He said.

She smiled and pulled on his arm wanting him to lay with her just as his alarm went off meaning he had to get ready for work. He made a face and went to turn it off.

"Stay with me." She said half asleep, Frank wanted so bad to stay with her but he knew he couldn't or he'd get in big trouble.

"I already used up my three days honey." He said stroking her cheek.

She sighed. "Okay." She said, that face she made would kill him before they even got married.

Frank kissed her before he went to get ready. Denise went to his room while he was getting ready and laid on the bed and closed her eyes.

"Denise? You have lost your damn mind." He said as he was changing.

"Why?" She asked not opening her eyes.

"You know why!"

Denise was awake now. "No, I don't." She said. "Why?"

"I'm changing babe." He said while rubbing the back of his head.

"So." She said. "It's not like I'm watch you, I'm trying to go to sleep."

"So you can come into my room and sleep while I change now?" He asked leaning against the closet door.

"Mmm-hmm." She said turning her back to him and pulling the covers over her head.

"So does that mean I can use your bathroom while you shower?" He asked.

"No way." She said from under the covers.

"Why you being so unfair honey?" He said jumping on top of her and tickling her.

Denise laughed and squirmed. "Stop!"

He laughed and finished changing.

Denise pulled the covers off her head. "You are so mean." She said.

"I'm mean? You're unfair." He said as he sat on the bed and tied his boots.

She sat up and put her arms around him and kissed his cheek over and over. He finished and put his arms around her before kissing her lips.

"Don't be gone too long." She said not wanting to let go. She was feeling really clingy and was not sure why, she'd never been clingy in her life.

"I wont." He said kissing her as she laid back down on the bed.

He kissed her once more and turned off the light so she could get some more sleep, it was still fairly dark outside. Denise laid back. She took noticed that the sheets smelt like him and she clucked onto them as she passed out. She slept like a rock and when she woke it was after one in the evening. She didn't feel like leaving the bed. So she didn't, the phone rang and thank God he had one beside of his bed so she didn't have to get up. She answered it.

"Hey baby it's me." Frank said. "Just called to tell you I'll be a little late."

"Noo baby." She moaned into the phone.

"I'm sorry sweetie." He said. "I'll be home as soon as I can. Are you okay?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll be home as soon as I can." He said. "I gotta go."

She hung up and laid back down. She somehow managed to go back to sleep and that's how Frank found her when he came home at almost eight.

"Denise!" He said jumping on the bed waking her up.

Denise whined and covered her head with pillows.

"Denise." He said shaking her.

She finally woke up and looked at him.

"Guess who was just made specialist." He said showing her his uniform.

Denise beamed and sat up and attached him with a big hug, "Congratulations babe!" she said excitedly.

He hugged her back. "Come on. Lets go celebrate."

"Let's stay here and celebrate." She said and kissed him, this time Frank knew better, he had to put on the breaks now.

"Come on. I'll take you out to dinner." He said to happy to contain his joy.

She pouted a little but knew that he was just trying to be a gentleman and not take advantage of her, so she got up and kissed him before going to get all dressed up.

"Frank. As lovely as I looked the past weeks in your shirts. What will I wear?" She asked.

He laughed. "Looks like we need to go get you some clothes." He said getting his credit card. "Let's go shopping."

She had him get her something quickly. She made Frank go to a store. He picked out her outfit, got make up, and hair products all in under thirty minutes. When she got finished she looked stunning. The two drove to a restaurant.


"You look beautiful." He said as he helped her put of the car by the hand.

She giggled. As the two where seated Denise saw one of the last people she wanted to see coming straight up to them. Her mother walked up to the table. Denise wanted to crawl into a hole.

Catalina stopped in front of them and gave her Miss Texas fake smile. "Denise honey. What are you and Freddy doing here?"

"His name if Frank and we are celebrating, he made specialist today." She said smiling.

"Oh why, Frank how wonderful!" She said taking his hand. "I do hope a bomb doesn't fall on you and kill you. You sweet thing. Randall tells me that bombs are just awful in Korea. Soldiers dying left and right because of bombings."

Denise looked at her like she was a monster and stood up. "Go away mother!"

"What is it honey?" Catalina put her hand on her shoulder and sat her down. "Don't let my honestly get in the way of you two."

"I swear mom you have three seconds to get out of here or I will embarrass the hell out of you." She warned.

"Honey, the fact that you're sleeping with this poor excuse of a soldier already embarrasses me."

That cut Denise deep and Catalina seen it and smiled. "Well looks like I better get going. I have your father with Major Lynch and his wife waiting." She said and she walked away.

Denise looked at her lap and played with her napkin. She was seconds away from balling her eyes out. Frank reached for her hand and she looked up with tears streaming down her face, 'what type of mother makes their child cry and gets enjoyment out of it?' he thought.

"She's awful!" Denise said angrily wiping her tears away.

"I know baby." He said "You want to go? We can go somewhere else."

But Denise was still stuck on what her mother said even think about what Frank was saying. "Sleeping with a poor excuse of a soldier. Who says that? And to her own daughter!"

"She's a bitch babe, she'll get her payback I promise." He said taking her hand across the table.

"That's a lie and yet why does it hurt?"

"Because it came from your Momma." He said. "The one person who is always supposed to be on your side and protect you no matter what."

"Protect me? Please. She doesn't care about me. And nothing will ever happen to her. She can hurt Jesus and not care about it."

He got up and went around the table and put his hand on her shoulder. "Let's go." He said. "We'll go somewhere else."

"No. I wont let her ruin your night." She wiped away her tears.

"Denise, you're upset baby." He said. "She's just going to keep tormenting you if we stay here."

She nodded and got up. He made a point of letting Catalina and the Colonel see him put his arm protectively around Denise and kiss the side of her head while leading her out of the restaurant and to the car.

"You still want to go out or want to just go home and watch movies on the couch and I'll cook." He asked.

"It's your night." She said.

"Whatever makes my girl happy is fine with me." He said taking her hand across the console and kissing it lightly.

"Home." She said.

He nodded and drove them back to the apartment, Denise went straight and put on one of his big tee-shirts while he started cooking, when she didn't come back out of the bed room in a few moments he started to worry. He went to go find her surprisingly on the phone with her mother.

"So listen here lady, you are messing with the wrong damned girl, if you want to fight then fine but you leave Frank the hell out of it!" She was yelling.

Of course Catalina was very peacefully doing her nails. "Denise, I didn't bring him into anything."

"Yes you did!" She snapped. "You told him not to get blown the hell up with that freaking nasty bitchy smile on your face!"

"Honey it was the smile that won me Miss teen Texas in 71'. Had it not been for Sue I would have easily been Miss Texas 73'."

"Oh yeah you and all the botox you've had." She said.

"Keep perfection in place." She said holding up a mirror. "Take a good look at me because this is where you're heading baby. Anyways, I don't give a damn about little Fink."

"Go to hell mom!" She snapped and hung up the phone and threw it, barely missing Frank's head.

"Catalina?" He asked having had dodged the phone.

She nodded, she was once again crying, he hated what this woman did to poor Denise.

He went to hug her. "Tell me."

"I called and told her to leave you the hell out of our arguments and she ...she just loves to make me cry and I don't know why!" She sobbed. "What did I do?"

"Denise what did she throw in your face?" He asked wanted to know what she says to her daughter.

"The fact that she was so much better than I ever was and that I was basically a whore." She sobbed into his chest.

"She didn't say that." He said rocking her.

"She didn't have to." She cried.

"It couldn't have been that bad honey."

"I'm just so tired of trying to please everyone and no matter what I do I'm always the disappointment." She said, she was still crying so hard that Frank was sure if he let her go she'd not be able to hold herself up.

"You have an awful mother Denise. You'll never please her."

"I'll never please anyone" She said sniffling.

"You please me." He said.

She only managed a small smile and laid her head on his chest, her heart was racing and she was sweating. She looked up at him and kissed him. She always found a relief in kissing him.

He smiled. "You feel better angel?" He asked wiping tears off her cheeks.

She nodded and only brought him towards herself again. He smiled and kissed her again. She brought him down with her again. Frank let Denise pull him down on top of her but stopped when things started to get heated. This time. she didn't want to lose him and just held him.

He moved off of her so he wouldn't hurt her but kept his arms around her. "I'm right here honey." He told her.

She only dragged him closer to her. "Don't leave me." She said.

"I won't love." He said holding her tighter. "I promise."

"I ruined your night."

"Not at all baby." He said. "You can't help that your mother is a cracked out bitch."

She nodded. "Sleep with me tonight?" She asked innocently enough.

He looked down at her. "You sure?" He asked.

She nodded.

"Okay." He said. "You ready for bed or you want to try to eat something?" He asked. "You haven't eaten anything today, have you?"

She shook her head.

"Come on, let's get some food in you so you don't get sick on me." He said getting up, the second he got up Denise whimpered, she didn't want to be away from him for a second.

He picked her up and carried her to the table. He sat her down and made her a grilled cheese and gave her some Coke and tylenol to keep her head from hurting later from all the crying. She giggled as he gave her a grilled cheese.

"What?" He asked smiling.

"I haven't had this sense I was younger." She said.

He smiled. "Enjoy my dear."

She ate them all before she even drank all her coke.

He smiled and took her plate and put it in the sink. "So how was it?" he asked.

"Amazing!" She smiled.

He smiled and pulled her chair our and picked her back up. "Bed or want to watch a movie?" He asked.

"Bed!"

He nodded and carried her to his room and laid her down and covered her up. "I'll be back in here in a minute I'm going to lock up." He told her when she pulled on his arm.

She nodded and waited for him. When he came back she was starting to doze but fighting it. She managed to smile at him.

He smiled and pulled her into his arms "Go to sleep sweetheart"he said playing with her hair.

She shook her head.

"Why not?"he asked "What's wrong?"

"Not tired." She said as she him

He laughed. "Oh yes you are." He said.

She shook her head no as she was quickly falling asleep. He only smiled and kept playing with her hair to make her fall asleep. He smiled and kept playing with her hair to make her fall asleep. She was awoken by the loud alarm. Frank tried to hurry and turn it off so it wouldn't wake her but ended up dropping it on the floor with a loud crash. She awoke with a fright.

"What the hell was that?" She asked sitting straight up,her hair was a mess and her eyes were wide.

"Nothing babe." He said trying to pick it up

He managed to pick it up and Denise laid back down and snuggled back up to him with her head on his chest,

"You slept with me." She said with the cutest smile on her face.

He smiled "Yes ma'am"he said and kissed her "But now I have to get up and go to work"

Her face dropped and she gave him the adorable sad face.

He chuckled "What's the matter baby?"he asked holding her tight

"I always want you with me." She pouted.

He smiled and kissed her forehead "You know know I have to work sweetie"

"You should leave the army." She said holding onto him.

He laughed "Now why is that?"

"Because it takes you away from me." She said. She was clearly very tired and her eyes where shut.

"I'll see if I can come home after PT okay?"he said,she was making it very hard to leave her right shook her head and held on tighter to him.

"No, stay with me"she said

"But I have too babe."

Denise pouted and let go of him and rolled over with her back to him,now it was even harder to leave knowing she was upset because he had to leave her. He only laughed at her and jumped onto of her to kiss her. He got off then got ready to leave. When he finished getting ready Denise was still pouting,he wasn't quite sure what was with her she never acted this kissed her cheek and left for work.


When Frank got there, his buddies where gathered into a circle and smiled and departed when he arrived. He was confused,something was definitely up.

"Hey Frank." Said Private Connor O'Donnell. He was known as the funny one in the group and Frank's best friend. "Or should I say Specialist Sherwood."

He laughed. "Jealous man?" He asked laughing.

"Very much so Specialist Sherwood." He said with his cigarette in his mouth and his arms crossed leaning against the wall. He clearly had something to say.

"Okay spill it O'Donnell." Frank said.

He gave his evil Irish look to his buddies and they snickered.

"What the hell is going on?" He asked losing patient.

Private Johnson came forward. "Is that an order Specialist Sherwood?" He grind back at the guys.

"Okay, I'm walking away now." He said and walked passed the other soldiers.

Private O'Donnell yelled out. "Two words Specialist Sherwood, Denise. Branch."

Frank stopped in his tracks, he turned and looked at them. "What about her?" He asked.

"You, a Specialist, went on a date, with the most incredibly hot Denise Branch? The cutest little trinket in all of Fort Bliss? Most popular southern bell in all of southwestern Texas?"

"Yeah, she and I are dating, what's it to you?" He asked.

At that all the men grinned and looked at each other. "You mean to tell me, the woman who turned down Staff Sergeant Hudson, is dating you?"

"Yes." He replied.

"How did you ever land her? She has been away at her uncle's for like ever!"

"She came back and here we are." He said smiling smugly. Frank couldn't help but gloat. He did have the most incredibly hot Denise Branch. The cutest little trinket in all of Fort Bliss. The most popular southern bell in all of southwestern Texas.

"Damn, how did you real her in?"

"It's called being a gentleman boys." He said. "Try it, works like a charm."

They all started laughing. "She has had gentlemen, real ones, not man whores like you, get turned down."

He laughed. "Well she's living with me, so I'm doing something right." He said.

They looked at him wide eyed. "Frank, your hitting that?"

He rolled his eyes "No you jackasses!"

They all laughed. "Liar!"

"I'm not." He said. "I'm not after just sex like you losers."

"Yeah right. Coming from the same man who took, what, five girls home with him once?"

"Okay this conversation is over." He said laughing.

"What? We don't blame you for doing what you have to score man."

"Okay I'm out of here, some of us have someone to get home to you know." He gloated again then started his run, the sooner all this was over the sooner he could go home to Denise.

They all laughed. Frank just rolled his eyes and kept running, Conner sprinted to catch up with him. Unfortunately while doing PT he came face to face with Colonel Branch. Frank was fortunately sitting next to good friend Corporal Hadley.

"Gentlemen." Colonel Branch greeted saluting them. The two saluted back and Corporal Hadley felt the tension.

"Corporal Hadley, I need to speak with Specialist Sherwood. Alone." He said letting the young man know to make himself scarce.

"Oh Colonel Branch, actually Specialist Sherwood was bringing up a very important matter with me. So if you wouldn't mind you saying what you need quickly, we'd much oblige." The Corporal lied. Frank looked over at him and nodded. It seemed that the Corporal new something would happen.

"Never mind, my office 0800 tomorrow Sherwood." He said and walked away.

"Oh Colonel," The Corporal called out. "Perhaps I can take up the matter. There is no job I can't handle sir."

"It's a private matter Corporal." He said.

"I see. Specialist Sherwood, the Colonel needs to see you. I'll wait for you in my office." He said patting his shoulder and leaving.

Frank followed Colonel Branch to his office and shut the door. "Okay listen and listen good, I do not like this situation with my daughter, she should not be living with you, she belongs at home, now either you can fix the situation or I can fix it for you. Either way works for me." He threatened and Frank's blood boiled.

"Why do you care? You don't even care about her. Besides, Catalina can lie to anybody about anything. Your reputation isn't at stake."

"No, but Denise needs to be at home. She has things that she needs to be doing and screwing around with you isn't one of them." He said. "She has responsibilities, she has dropped out of school." Frank didn't realize that.

"Responsibilities? School? Your wife lets her know that working isn't for a woman."

"Well it is." He replied.

"Is it? Then why don't you tame your shew?" Frank asked.

"Okay, I am not arguing with you, she is coming home and that's that." He said. "I'll come by and get her tomorrow, Dismissed!"

"Oh? Does me asking why you don't tame your 'wife' offend you Colonel?"

"My wife is none of your business specialist." He replied.

"Poor excuse of a wife you have." Frank had been looking for the chance to dig at Catalina for a while know and he wasn't going to give it up.

"You have about three seconds to get out of my office Specialist." He said.

"To hell I am. Tell me Colonel, why do you defend her?"

"Because she is my wife and that daughter of mine is nothing but a huge disappointment, a tramp and always will be." He replied.

"You won't let anyone insult a daemon yet you abuse your little angle."

"I don't abuse her." He said.

"How a piece of trash like you and that snake had such a sweet daughter I will never know. She's probably not even yours."

"Out now!" He demanded.

Frank only laughed at him before walking out of the room. "I'll be back tomorrow. 0800, like you said."

Frank looked at his watch and decided to drop by Corporal Hadley's office, he had to calm down before he went home to Denise. Corporal Hadley was in his office.

He looked up to see Frank. "Come on in Frank." He said.

Frank did so and sat down. "What happened?"

"I pissed him off." He said smiling smugly. "He called his daughter a tramp and I told him he needs to learn how to tame his wife."

Corporal Hadley looked so shocked. Denise could never. As for Catalina, she was a saint. He couldn't believe what Frank was saying.

"I'll see you tomorrow Corporal." Frank said stand up and shaking the mans hand. Corporal Hadley was still utterly confused.

"Yeah, tomorrow." He said still very lost over the day's events.

Frank left and went home to Denise, when he got there Denise was sitting on the balcony of their apartment looking at her hands.

He came from behind her and kissed her neck. "I'm home baby."

She looked at him and smiled, her eyes were red, she'd been crying again.

"Why have you been crying? You didn't call your mother again did you?"

"No." She replied. "I went over there."

"What? How? Denise?"

"Nothing happened." She told him. "I had to go get my clothes and things."

Catalina looked like an angle but Frank was sure after what she did to her husband she was never to be missed with. "That's all?" She avoided his eyes and that lone let Frank know that there was more.

"What did Catalina do to you?"

"Nothing, she just told me she wished I would die." She said. "That she never wanted me and that I was a mistake." Frank wasn't buying it

"Catalina would tell me she loves me before she'd say that. What did she do?"

Before Denise could answer Frank saw the marks on Denise's wrist and the one on her leg, it looked like the imprint of the whip that Catalina had used on her husband the night they first met Frank.

"Frank she could kill a cow with one blow." She said as he examined her marks.

"Okay, this is insane I'm calling the police." He said.

"Don't. Texas law says if I attack her in her house she has more then enough right to kill me. She has very maid in that house controlled."

He sighed and pulled her into his arms and held her tight, a little too tight and she gasped.

She only held onto her. "Why does Catalina do this?" He asked.

"I don't know." She said laying her head on his chest. "I wish she wasn't like this, she used to not be."

"Tell me about it." He said rocking her.

"When I was little daddy wasn't around much so it was just mamma, she was always tough but she was never mean to us. We spent most of our time at her Hacienda, so being tough was a given. But after Daddy was was injured after his fourth tour and that's when it all started. She hated Daddy as it was but when he was mad it was like...she would get madder. Of course Daddy is madly in love with mamma, he loves her more then us or himself, so he never did anything to her. It was always us, and when he was mad because of us, mamma would get mad at us. When we where younger, Sue was mamma's favorite, still is. She was how she wanted her, she left Sue alone. Beth molded quickly into how Catalina wanted her. She would throw things at me, only me though, never the others."

"But why you?"

"Because I was daddy's favorite, and she hates him." She said.

He understood what sick physiological game Catalina was playing now. Denise held on tightly to Frank, she was shivering but it was hot outside.

"Honey I'll be back." He said. He got his keys and went to his car. He was going to pay a visit to the desert snake.


He drove on post and went right to the Branch house. He banged on the door. Catalina answered. "Why Specialist Frank Sherwood! What a wonderful surprise, do come in." She said with a fake smile. She was expecting him and that kinda scared him. He walked inside. "What brings you by?" She asked. She said like this actually a happy meting. She sat down like a lady with that fake smile on her face. She had the maid bring her and Frank sweet tea.

"So Frank, how can I help you?" She asked.

He was a little put off by her but he knew he had to pick his words carefully. "Frank honey cat got your tongue?" She said as she sipped the tea. Her eyes looked at him. She gave him the same look as a cat would. Her comment ran a chill up his spine.

"You hurt Denise." He managed to say.

She put her tea down. "Did I now?"

"Yeah, you did." He said keeping his tone even.

"So, let me guess. You came over, mad, to tell me to stay away from her?" She read out his plan. "You see Frank, you can't win against me."

"Why are you doing this to her?" He asked.

"Well many reasons. She is a weak little thing. She needs to be broke." She admitted.

"Do you beat her?" He asked. "Denise is scared to death of both you and Randall." He said, he'd never called the Colonel by his first name.

"Goodness no!" She said slamming the cup down. He knew she wasn't lying. "Physical pain isn't anything. As for my husband, he's...not right in the head." Again Frank knew she wasn't lying.

"Well all the same, Denise has marks on her." He said. "She's terrified of both of you and the amount of tears I have seen in the short time we have been together does not sit well with me."

"I'm sorry that her useless crying doesn't sit well with you. I know i didn't put up with it." She said like she appalled with Denise crying.

"How can you not?" He asked. "She is your daughter for crying out loud, she is not superwoman!"

"It's annoying and useless."

"Well I'm sorry you see it that way." He said getting up. "Until both you and Randall get help you are not allowed back around Denise, period."

She laughed so hard she fell back on the couch. He looked at her like she was crazy. "How is that funny?"

"Oh Frank. You didn't give birth to her now did you?"

"No." He replied not seeing where this was going.

"Did your family Hacienda's money pay for her pretty outfits, her braces, her needs? Honey you probably don't even know what a hacienda is."

"I don't need to." He said. "I don't need to have money or a nice house, because from the looks of it even with all that you are still a very sick twisted unhappy greedy old hag!"

"Unhappy greedy old hag is right honey."

"Then why not get out of here?" He asked confused. "If you are so unhappy why stay?"

"Leaving wont solve anything. Look how well that ended up for your whore."

Frank had to stop and take a breath before he knocked this woman on her ass.

"You mad?"

"Nope I just think it's sad that you are so unhappy and get so much enjoyment out of seeing your children in pain." He said. "Denise deserves actual parents."

"But on the contrary. I love them."

He laughed in her face. "Yeah it shows." He said rolling his eyes.

"Oh, I try not to show it. Makes weak kids."

He scoffed. "And having children who are scared of you is so much better?" He asked. "You destroyed Denise and if I was around your other daughters long enough I'd probably see the same thing from them."

"Honey I'm trying to build her up."

"Well you've torn her down." He said. "So I'm going to say this as nicely as possible, stay the hell away from her."

"She'll come back to me. Either when you leave her or when she's pregnant."

"One, I'm not leaving her and two, when she gets pregnant we will be married so she won't need you, just like she doesn't need you now." He said.

"Really. Tell you what Frank. If I'm right, and this ends badly like it will. I'll take her back and be the mother she 'needs'. If you end up marrying her. Will, let me pay for the biggest wedding in all of Texas."

He shook his head "Whatever Catalina."

"I''ll even fly your whole family out from Georgia first class."

He nodded. "I need to be getting back to Denise." He said.

"You know while I'm at it. I'll throw a honeymoon to mexico."

He laughed. "You really are insane."

"I kid you not Frank, you have my word."

He nodded and the two of them shook on it and Frank left to go back to Denise. Frank couldn't help but fell like e got scammed.
