A big thanks to fabfan who reminded me I needed to update this thing : )
The Return Of Frankie Stone Chapter 20
Frankie was in physical therapy it has been about three weeks or so since the explosion and her surgery.
Now she's rebuilding lost muscle and teaching her shoulder to handle movements once more. Also getting the PT for her chest and back.
Bianca entered the exorcise room and saw her gorgeous fiancee re-toning her tanned and tattooed muscles. She knew she shouldn't stand there like a sixteen year old in hormonal lust. But come on she'd have to be blind and straight not to notice Frankie Stone. She smiled and remembered a time when she and the blonde girl were both younger and how much Frankie had always loved her morning run and she was also into doing push ups and sit-ups. And there was nothing the brunette loved to watch more not even the L-word could be more entertaining than the love of her life other than watching Miranda play this was Bianca's second favorite past time.
Frankie noticed Bianca standing there in a puddle of her drool and snickered to herself. ' So you wanna play lusty pent up thoughts I'm down with that game but I can Bianca-ala baby.' She thought with a wicked sneer. Frankie picked up the heaviest weight she was allowed to which was at this moment in time a thirty-five pound dumbell set of the rack. She began to pump up her muscles and of course the increased weight size was causing extra persperation. She did this for about fifteen minutes. Then feeling kind of weak she put the dumbells and grabbed a towel off the weight bench she was setting on and dabbed her drenched skin dry. Then she took her eco friendly ed hardy water canteen and poured some of the cold liquid into her mouth holding the container about two inches from her lips.
Watching Frankie lifting those dumbells was almost enough to drive the dark eyed girl insane. Speaking of dark eyes Bianca's were getting darker by the second with all this infatuated staring she was doing. ' What is she doing ? It's almost like she knows that I-Bianca's eyebrows narrowed at that thought, She wants to play this game hmm..well I suppose I can let her think she's winning until she's done gulping that water. Bianca was becoming as frustrated as Frankie. They had , had absolutely no us time in all the weeks since Frankie rescued her from the burning building.
Finally the Fusion co-owner decided to end this maddening torture and go to her lover. She strolled ever so slowly in her snug fitting fashion jeans and red sweater with a bit of glitter fabric institched.
" Hey sweetheart, are you all done with your PT for the day ? " Bianca asked with a hint of mystery in her voice.
Frankie pulled her lover into her lap and gave her sweet kiss. Bianca was high sitting so close to Frankie and knowing that it would be only Frankie that she would be this close to forever.
" I think I'm too tired to go any further so yeah I'm done for the day. What did you have in mind ?" Frankie asked wiggling her eyebrows suggestively at the single mother. When their kissing broke off.
" Well first things first Josh wants to see you in your room..Bianca leaned in and whispered the next part, I think you're getting dismissed today. "
" Really, well I need a shower before I leave. Frankie grinned and whispered into Bianca's ear this time. you wanna join me I could use a back rub..?"
" I don't think I'll be able to stop at your back if I join you." Bianca teased in a husky tone. Frankie gulped and jumped a little.
' Okay she wins Bianca is better at this teasing thing than me. ' Frankie mentally surrendered however her outside attitude had maintain her pride now that her mind and body were completely turned on and helpless. " Fine I'll get the special soap. Just for you Bianca-ala." Frankie shot back winking at her fiancee.
" We won't finish up in time for the wonderful surprise I have planned for you. If we do that but since it's your release day then you get to choose which you get to have. Awesome future wife surprise or Awesome future wife in the shower ?" Bianca responded throwing the ball into her fiancees court.
" Damn, why can't I have both ?"
" Maybe you can if you choose wisely. " The brunette replied cryptically.
" Ooh, ok fine the 'Awesome future wife surprise' or whatever first.
" You chose right and you get a grand prize too another kiss from me." Bianca grinned.
" Alright. I wanted X-rated shower I get PG-ish-" Frankie's mouth was cut off by Bianca's tongue on top of hers Bianca had tasted all of it before but still found her woman irresistable. Frankie's mouth always tasted like crest peppermint toothpaste and mocha her favorite morning drink.
Several minutes later and Frankie was dressed in faded blue jeans and a black v-necked shirt with fender written across it in silver lettering. She was kicking her feet back and forth while sitting on the hospital bed in her room. Praying that Josh would hurry his but up so she could be with Bianca.
" Hey, Frankie sorry I kept you wating for so long I had an emergency appendectomy or as I call it lunch with Erica. " Josh remarked dryly.
" Thats funny you should be a comedian, now spill do I get to leave today or am I stuck here permanently Josh ?" Frankie asked impatiently.
" You are free to go but you still have to do PT everyday for another month and Frankie no skipping. " Josh warned in his best doctor voice. " One more thing I'm assigning you a new PT her name is Olga and she's the newest staff member so be nice to her tommorrow. "
" Yes, sir. " Frankie said in her best five year voice. Then she grabbed her bag with the wrong hand and silently flinched. Shaking it off she left the building.
Ava had, had a busy week and to top it all off she was getting called day and night by her on the
side boss. She flopped on the bed in her room at Opal's place. She'd been living there under 'strict supervision' since the building blew up and Frankie ended up being Ms. big hero person AGAIN.
The young woman hadn't even had time to look over the test results she had illegally aquired. She reached over to her left and opened her nightstand drawer. Pulling out the brown file folder and extracting the results sheet. Her green eyes went wide with the shock of the numbers on the page.
" OMG ! I'm the half sister of Frankie and Maggie Stone. " Unbeknownst to Ava. Opal was taking laundry to her room before she could open the door to Ava's room. She heard the words coming out of the young woman's mouth.
Opal was flabberghasted to say the least. " Deary, me we got more problems than horse farmer before a storm. "
Frankie watched as Bianca pulled her car up to the hospital doors. The detective held up her thumb as the car stilled. Bianca played along and rolled the passenger side window down. " Hey pretty lady you going my way ? " Frankie teased.
" Oh, I think I am if your way is to Miranda's school her teacher heard from some of Miranda's friends that you were a cop and she wants you to talk to the kids about stranger danger and some other stuff. " Bianca wrinkled her forehead in an apologetic look. " I said you'd love to I hope that's okay ?"
'' Well, I don't like public speaking B but if their gonna learn it from anybody why not come to the source. " Frankie got up out of the infernal wheelchair she was once again reduced to sitting until off hospital property. She opened the door to her car. " I suppose but I have conditions. " The blonde said cryptically holding up her index finger.
" And what are your conditions oh, great one ?" Bianca eye rolled.
" One I want a bacon double cheeseburger with a root beer. " Frankie said in a democratic tone.
" Ahuh, I assumed you would have such demands. So I came prepared. " Bianca snapped her long elagant fingers twice then whistled.
A large dog's head popped up from the back seat of the sportscar. With a grease soaked bag in his drooling mouth.
" TEDDY, hey boy is that for me..?" Frankie asked the large dog sweetly petting his head. " He got so big how long was I out again ?"
" Long enough to miss his teething stage. " Bianca added bitterly.
Frankie finally got the large mammal to release the bag of junk food. The dog then proceded to crawl over the seat and into Frankie's lap.
" Oh, I forgot to mention he's eighty pounds now and fancies himself a lap dog. " The brunette stated sarcastically.
" Is that so, I hadn't noticed. " Frankie shot back the tension was building faster between the two women now that Frankie was free from the hospital's clutches.
" So what was your second demand you said you had two of them ? " The fusion exec inquired.
Frankie grinned an evil grin and wiggled her eyebrows. This kind of suggestive flirting made Bianca blush the color of a rose bush everytime and the cop knew it. " Well , my plan has been sidelined because I have to go talk at the squirts school, but how 'bout a kiss to tide me over ?"
" You got it just as soon as I park the car, I'd hate to damage your baby. " Bianca teased.
" Yeah, I love this car way too much. " Frankie agreed.
Elsewhere in Pine Valley.
Erica Kane was currently in the middle of her latest breakdown/hissyfit/Power Mogul hostile takeover.
" You tell miter Hilfiger I got those apology flowers and I put them in my garbage disposal ! Now that I have the proof I need that he stole my cologne formula fro 'Scent of the Valley' I want him to PAY UP ! Yes well you should write that down nonono don't hang up, Errrh it's days like this I wish I hadn't stopped drinking ! " Erica cursed silently stomping her spike heeled shoe.
"Well I take it this is a bad time to ask you to lunch dear ? " Jackson interrupted his wife's lone rant.
" Oh, Jackson I didn't see you there when did you come in ? " Erica inquired in a dainty voice while strangling a small free standing punching bag that was a gift from Frankie to relieve her stress. When she was having " issues with people" as the detective had so eloquently put it.
" My God, you're murdering the punch bag. This wouldn't happen to be over the whole T.H. Cologne thing again would it ? " The D.A. inquired carefully removing the angered woman's hands from the bag. Placing her digits in his larger hands. " Erica relax you know this is how these big time people play hardball, They get the person they're going up against in competition all riled up and make them so upset they can't think straight. "
" Yes I know Jacl, Erica sighed deeply and looked up innocently at her mate. It's just that as a woman in this industry I've had to work three times as hard all my life to be seen as equal. To men who work three times as little. It's frustrating when they see an idea that they want and just think that they can steal it out from under me. "
" I see your point but who do you think is going to be a better impression to the board, red faced mad hatter Erica or and listen to me because this is my favorite Kane woman personality. You go in there calm,cool and carnivorous and eat that review board up with class. "
Erica moved in close to her husband and kissed him gently on the lips. " Thank you Jack I needed to hear that. "
'' Well if you liked that you'll love this, I spoke to Frankie before I came here. "
" Really and how is our town hero doing ?"
" She was dismissed today and I found something else out aswell. '' Jack paused and looked seriously at his lady love.
" Well what is it Jackson spare me the suspense I have enough stress in my life right now, I can't take much more shock value." Erica babbled.
" Frankie uh..asked Bianca to marry her after she woke up from her coma. "
Erica went wide eyed in surprise, " hold on let me process this information. " Erica's imagination ran wild with the extra stress she'd been under lately. She imagined the holidays with butch cop Frankie Stone at the table once again when the waiter asked if she wanted wine she asked for beer instead and all the wonderful debates that they would have like whether or not to send Mirand to ROTC camp with a buzz cut. Finally Miranda with dirt on her face holding a frog ick! calling Frankie mom. It didn't take too long for it all to sink in and Erica's eyes rolled back into her head. As she fainted in classic LaKane fashion.
" Erica! " Jackson tried to catch the freefalling cosmetics queen. " Lord, help her when she wakes up and realizes she wasn't having a nightmare. "
