Bridget had messaged Frankie telling her that she would be home by 6.30pm, it was a Friday evening and so she had a few things she needed to do so that she could turn off completely for the weekend and hopefully get to spend some time with her girlfriend.
She was finally pulling into the drive, her mind on ordering a takeaway, putting on a movie and cuddling up in Frankie's arms, she grinned at seeing Frankie's little car pulled up in its usual space, at least she's already home, probably slaving away in her office, Bridget smiled.
After collecting her belongings, she entered her house to the smell of something cooking, the aroma wafting from the kitchen was incredible. "Something smells good babe" Bridget grinned, hopefully they would still be snuggling up with a movie, even if takeaway wasn't on the menu anymore. Bridget laughed as Frankie ran around the corner to greet her, seeming a little frazzled but looking stunning.
"Hey beautiful, your early" Frankie stated as she leaned in and kissed the blonde bombshell before her.
"Yeah, I missed you and I had everything wrapped up so I came home" Bridget grinned into the kiss, amused by Frankie's antics.
"well listen, it's a mess through there, so why don't you just go and jump in the bath, and I'll tidy up a bit and bring you a glass of wine in a few" Frankie suggested, the bath was already run anyways, it would just need topping up with a little hot water, but Bridget didn't know that.
"why don't you want me to go through there Frankie" Bridget asked suspiciously with a grin, she hadn't seen this side of Frankie before she seemed almost nervous.
"You can if you want, its just a mess. I just thought you would prefer to have a nice bath and wash the stink of Wentworth off off you whilst I cook you dinner" Frankie smiled sheepishly.
"So you don't have a woman in there you're trying to sneak out?" Bridget grinned cheekily as she saw the fluster and confusion on Frankie's face.
"What... of course not Gidge, come on you know you're more than enough woman for me, I'm not interested in anyone else" Frankie grinned sexily as she pulled Bridget into a searing kiss which left the blonde breathless.
"Ok" she relented as she finally pulled away from Frankie's kiss. "I guess a bath would be nice, you look good by the way, very sexy" Bridget flirted as she ran her hands over Frankie's arse. "New jeans?"
"See this is what I love about you, you notice things like that" Frankie smiled confidently as she took Bridget's hand and guided her into the candle lit bathroom, the bath was run already and the smell of Bridget's favourite bath oils filled the room.
"Wow... someone was prepared" Bridget smiled as she wrapped her arms around Frankie's waist from behind as the younger woman bent over to top the bath up with hot water.
"Listen, you jump in there, let me just go and check on dinner and then I will bring you a glass of wine and scrub your back for you ok?" Frankie grinned and left before Bridget could argue. She watched the brunette leave the room, her eyes glued to the perfect backside that swayed softly in the new tight fitting jeans she was wearing. With a contented sigh, Bridget stripped and slid into the bath, her body instantly relaxing.
Her eyes opened as she heard the music start up softly, and she found Frankly looking at her lovingly holding a flute of champagne in her hand.
"Champagne?" Bridget asked surprised.
"Well I decided tonight I would spoil you a bit, you almost messed my plans up by getting home early" Frankie smiled impishly at her partner as she handed her the champagne and perched on the edge of the bath and took in the beautiful sight before her.
"I could get used to coming home to this" Bridget grinned as she took her first sip of the perfectly chilled champagne, she moaned in satisfaction when she realised Frankie had splashed out and gotten her favourite champagne, despite it being an expensive taste. Frankie just smiled in return to Bridget's questioning glance.
"Now I have to go and finish dinner ok, it will be ready in about 20 minutes" Frankie informed her as she leant forward and brushed her lips against Bridget's, grinning as she tasted the sweetness of the champagne on her lips.
"Mmmmm, you taste good" Frankie leant in for another kiss.
"You smell good" Bridget grinned into the kiss.
"New perfume... I have a few more surprises for you tonight Miss Westfall" Frankie placed one more soft kiss to Bridget's lips before escaping the bathroom and leaving Bridget to wonder what Frankie had in store for her that night, she felt a tremor of excitement rush through her at the thought. With a contented sigh, she took another sip of her champagne and let the bath envelope her for another fifteen minutes.
Rising from the bath, Bridget grabbed her towel, sighing in satisfaction when she realised Frankie had remembered to turn her towel warmer on and her towel wrapped around her. Glancing in the mirror she could see that her hair was still perfectly in place, but after seeing how Frankie was dressed and the effort she had gone to for dinner, she wiped off her make up, shaking her head at how little make up remover she had left, it appeared Frankie didn't like to share her own things but was happy to help herself to Bridget's things, she grinned with a shake of her head and began applying a fresh batch of subtle make up.
Walking into the bedroom, she stopped when she found a note and a single red rose laid on their bed. Picking it up, she smelt the rose and inhaled its sweet aroma before opening the note.
'Gidge, I'm sorry I have been so wrapped up in work lately that I have been neglecting the most important part of my life. Get yourself ready and come find me in the kitchen, I have a night planned that is all about loving you and I cant wait to start it with you.
All my love forever and always
Frankie xxx'
Bridget grinned as she reread the love note, she couldn't believe how lucky she was with Frankie. She had had relationships in the past, some only lasting a few dates and some lasting a few months, but none seemed to suit her, there was always something that just wasn't... right. And she wasn't going to waste her time on something that was going nowhere, but with Frankie, everything just felt right. She thought back to their first few meetings in Wentworth, how Frankie had flirted unashamedly, and Bridget could tell it was just the person Frankie was, but there was something pulling her towards the younger Brunette, some allure that made her want to, need to get to know this person better. And she knew right away it wasn't in a professional sense, she had never had a client that she had practically obsessed over so much. She just needed to find out more about Frankie, she longed to know everything about her, what made her smile, what made her laugh, what made her sad, why she was so closed up and defensive, why she was so angry despite wearing a mask that she was cool and collected. And the further she got to know the woman, the more she needed to know her. There was no point in denying that Frankie was very quickly becoming the love of her life, they had been together for, god six months since Frankie was released from Wentworth, suddenly Bridget's heart stopped, it was their six month anniversary and she had completely forgotten about it, crap.
She quickly got dressed, throwing on some underwear that she knew Frankie loved, she put on her favourite skinny jeans and grabbed a top that she knew Frankie approved of because she constantly admired her cleavage and ended up ravishing her every time she wore it.
She exited the bedroom and bumped straight into the woman of her affections.
"Hey, there you are. I was just coming to check that you hadn't fallen asleep in there again, dinners ready" Frankie grinned, she ran her eyes approvingly over her girlfriends clothing choice, her breath hitching when she realised what top Bridget was wearing.
"Happy six months anniversary baby" Bridget cooed as if she had known all along, she grabbed Frankie's hips teasingly and pulled them both together until they met in the middle in a searing kiss, when Frankie finally pulled away from the kiss, she frowned.
"it's not our six month anniversary babe, I just wanted to spoil you" She grinned.
"oh... well then now I don't feel bad for forgetting our six month anniversary, because you have too" Bridget grinned at Frankie's confusion, she could see the brunette working out dates in her head before her eyes popped open in shock.
"Holy crap it is too... shit, sorry babe I totally didn't realise" Frankie kissed her girlfriend softly.
"I guess we are even then... anyway, happy six months anniversary baby" Bridget grinned as she repeated herself.
"Yeah... you too, you know... that makes this officially my longest ever relationship right?" Frankie smiled sheepishly.
"Really?"
"uh-huh. That makes you pretty bloody special" Frankie said honestly as her lips found Bridget's neck and she teased the flesh there, waiting for the deep groan she never failed to arouse from her lover. She wasn't disappointed.
"Your pretty special too babe, your actually my longest relationship too, so it looks like we were made for each other" Bridget grinned as she felt her back press against the wall as Frankie continued her sweet assault at her neck. God this woman drove her nuts.
"You know if you keep doing that, we will be skipping out on dinner right, your making it really hard for me to not just pull your clothes off and have you for dinner instead" Bridget whispered sexily and was rewarded with Frankie's lips growing more desperate and feverish against her neck and jaw.
"God baby" Bridget moaned, breaking Frankie from her trance. She pulled back from Bridget, feeling herself panting in excitement. She watched Bridget's chest rising and falling with the same speed and effort as her own, Bridget leant back against the wall, her head thrown slightly back as she grinned at her girlfriend.
"I love the way you attack my neck" Bridget drawled
"Stop it... come on before dinner is ruined" Frankie grinned, knowing fine well that Bridget was trying to seduce her into carrying on. She took her hand and led her to the dining room
Bridget gasped as she entered the candle lit area, music was playing softly in the background and dinner was placed on an immaculately laid table. Candles were laid everywhere around the room, and in the middle of the two place settings was an elegant yet modern candelabra which Bridget had never seen before.
"someone has gone to a lot of effort... it looks incredible in here babe, and smells even better" Bridget grinned as she pulled Frankie into a tight embrace, allowing her hug to express all the love she had for the woman who had clearly spent a lot of time and effort to do this for her.
"You know, no one has ever made me a candle lit dinner before" Bridget whispered against the shorter woman's ear, smiling as she felt the woman tremble excitedly in her embrace.
"Your kidding me... it shocks me when you say things like that, like seriously, how could any other woman not go out of their way to impress and seduce you" Frankie placed a tender kiss to Bridget's already sensitive neck.
"Maybe I just never found anyone that was half as amazing as you" Bridget purred as she leant back and kissed Frankie softly on the lips before looking deeply into her eyes.
"I love you, you are the best thing to ever happen to me" Bridget admitted, her flirting gone, leaving behind just an unashamed honesty.
"It's not hard to love someone as amazing as you Gidge, your incredible, I owe you my life, and I know that I have been really wrapped in up work lately, but I took the afternoon off and decided that tonight I wanted to make you feel as special and as loved as you have made me feel every day since I left Wentworth" Frankie smiled sheepishly.
"Now come on, lets eat before dinner is completely ruined" She led the blonde to the table, and surprised her by pulling out her chair, going to every effort she could to make Bridget feel her love. She took her own seat next to Bridget and picked up her glass of wine, holding it to Bridget to chink.
"to the most beautiful woman in the world" Frankie grinned, her flirting side coming back to the surface.
"to you" Bridget grinned as she met their glasses in the middle, took a sip then began eating the prawn and pumpkin risotto that Frankie had made. They ate in almost silence as they enjoyed the taste of the food and how the wine accented the flavours, appreciative moans filled the room.
"I have a present for you" Frankie finally announced as she pulled a box out from under the table that had been hidden on a chair.
"Babe, you didn't need to buy me a present" Bridget grinned
"I wanted to, I realised that I hadn't really bought you anything special, and I just wanted to get something that you could wear and know how much I adore you, and how much you mean to me. I saw it today and I just thought it was perfect for you and had to buy it" Frankie admitted as she placed the box on the table and pushed it nervously towards Bridget, she knew the woman would love it, but she still felt nervous, perhaps it was because she had never bought another woman jewellery before.
Bridget opened it slowly, her attention focussed between the delicately wrapped gift box and the brunette who was watching nervously. Finally she exposed the bracelet and gasped in surprise.
"Babe, its beautiful, I love it, I really love it" Bridget grinned as she removed it from its box and ran her fingers over the pearls. she offered it over to Frankie, who willingly wrapped it around her wrist and fastened it.
Bridget admired it for a few seconds, running her fingers over the differing textures of the pearls and the turquoise gems, she loved how the tan leather accented the colours and pulled the bracelet together in a intricate yet modern way. She felt her eyes fill with tears and laughed internally at herself. This was the first time she had ever received jewellery from a partner, and Frankie had chosen perfectly. She looked towards the little silver heart beside the fastener and saw a design on it, taking a closer look, she realised it read
B.W
F.D
"Sweetheart, this is the best present I have ever received, I love it so much... thankyou" Bridget leant lovingly towards her partner and kissed her softly.
"I really love you, you know" Bridget whispered against the kiss.
"I really love you too" Frankie grinned, pleased with herself that she was able to make Bridget so happy.
Frankie finally pulled away from their gentle kisses to clear away their dishes, returning, she grabbed Bridget's hand and led her into the living room where the fire was lit in the fireplace and more candles surrounded the room. Frankie had set up a cosy area just in front of the fire, piles of blankets laid on the floor with cushions scattered everywhere. She let the blonde to the blankets and told her to get comfortable before disappearing. Bridget glanced around the room as she lay down and shuffled around till she was comfortable, she couldn't believe the night she was having.
She had come home expecting to have to beg Frankie to turn off from being a lawyer and have take away and a movie with her, and instead she had come home to a candle lit bubble bath, followed by a candle lit dinner made by her girlfriend, who was dressed to impress only one person, and now she was laid in their living room besides a fire waiting for the love of her life to return. Bridget grinned to herself as she realised she definitely thought of Frankie as the love of her life. She glanced again at her new bracelet, feeling herself swoon as she ran her fingers over the engraved heart. Her attention was caught by a clearing of the throat and she looked up to find Frankie standing with a cheeky smirk on her face. 'Caught out' Bridget grinned as she patted the blankets beside her and motioned for Frankie to join her.
"I thought we could do desert in here" Frankie announced as she placed a platter on the floor, Bridget marvelled at the array of fruit that had been thoughtfully placed around the platter, there were also little dishes containing different flavoured desert sauces. Frankie picked up a strawberry and dipped into the dish of melted chocolate before bringing it to Bridget's lips, with a seductive smile, Bridget accepted the strawberry into her mouth, making such to catch Frankie's fingers too and took great pleasure in slowly sucking the chocolate from them, her eyes sought out Frankie's and were pleased to find them darkened with desire.
"Holy fuck Gidge" Frankie breathed out as she dived forward to cover Bridget's lips with her own.
