The ReTurn of Frankie stone
Chapter 23
Part 3 of 5 part finale
Wedding bells & moms from hell
A quick note the groomsman pact mentiioned in this chapter is based on a pact my bro and I made as teens.
Erica sat and thought long and hard about everything she was doing in her mind even. That would effect her daughter and Miranda her precious granddaughter. She let everything she'd actually done to Frankie soak in. She was almost sick to her stomach about her actions in the past two years.
All the times Frankie Stone was there for her daughter. All the times she had risked her own well being and nearly died to protect her. How Miranda wouldn't take medicine, unless Frankie was the one to give it to her. Most importantly how Bianca's smile now lit up the entire room. That all in part thanks to the one person. Whom she never found worthy of her daughter. Maybe she had been wrong.
Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to call her daughter and ask. If there was any way she'd let her host the wedding. She took out her Iphone and pushing Bianca and Frankies family picture.
Of course much unkown to Erica. Bianca was more that little naked and more than a little ways from her phone. Which rang without answer. As she and Frankie made up for lost time in the shower.
Opal walked back into the parlor. Wearing a stern disciplinary look on her face. " So did we come to our senses or do we need Opal's special anesthesia until those two are married ?"
Erica smirked. " No, Opal that won't be necessary although I'd hardly call cough medicine with codine an anesthetic. I think I'm going to send Kendall to the charity gala. I'm going to see Bianca and Frankie and offer my services at the wedding. See you later Opal. "
Opal just shook her head as the famous mogul walked out of her shop. " Lord, I know she's a work in progress but did ya' have ta' send her out on the street with foil and curlers in her hair ?" She said to herself slumping down in a beauty chair.
Erica went strait to Bianca's loft apartment. Figuring that if she wasn't near her phone she and Frankie were there. However when there was no answer Erica became slightly worried. She took out her phone and called her granddaughter.
" Hey," The tween girl answered resting her homework pencil.
" Hello, how's grandma's special girl ?" Erica sweet talked.
" Gramma Erica ! I haven't told you the awesome news-"
Erica over-anxiously cut her granddaughter out mid-sentence. " I'm sure it's just the most awesome news, but I'm calling because I thought you might know where your mom and Frankie are ?"
" Well, gramma that's the awesome news. Frankie told me at lunch she was taking mom to a house she bought for us all to live in. " Miranda answered.
" Oh, I see well my apologies for cutting you off, do you have the address? " Erica asked.
" Yes , in case of emergency I have it. You're not gonna fight with mom and Frankie again are you ?" Miranda questioned.
" No, I wanted to offer to help with the wedding, now give grandma Erica the address ? " Erica pushed gently.
" I suppose, it's 3908 S. Landry in the historic district. " Miranda explained. " I know it was probably called the new district when you were growing up gramma. "
" That's very funny Miranda dear. Just for that you can't call me grandma in front of people I know for a week. "
" That's not fair. " The young girl complained.
" Neither is being compared to dinosaur dirt Miranda darling. Now I have to go I'll see you later. Kisses. " Erica replied and pushed end.
She headed off to the historic district in search of her daughter and soon to be daughter in law.
Frankie and Bianca had managed to make it out of the shower and they were now in the bed. Bianca flipped their positions and laid on top of her blonde lover. Slowly kissing up from her stomach then her ribs, breasts and finally her neck and lips.
They were swimming in the joy of finally letting go and just loving each other. In the most physical expression possible.
" Oh, Bianca ! " Frankie let out in her height of extasy. " Do you know what you do to me ?"
" Oh, I have an idea. " Bianca replied coyly tracing circles on Frankie's abs.
" I don't think so. "
" Oh, you don't huh..."
" Nope I think I'm going to have to show you again and again. Until you do. " Frankie stated with an evil grin rolling over on Bianca and kissing her gently at first just as it was becoming more heated.
Their bedroom door opened up to reveal Erica Kane-Montegomery. Standing there flabberghasted. " Oh, My God !"
" Oh, My God !" The girls exclaimed. Both scrambling for cover.
Erica covered her eyes to have gone spontaneously blind. In that moment would've been a blessing and not a curse.
Bianca threw on her pants and shirt as quickly as possible as did Frankie.
" Mom you can open your eyes now. Why exactly are you here ?"
" Screw that how is she here I only gave, Miranda that little..as soon as we're married I'm grounding her. " Frankie spilled.
" Let's not rush into anything. We said she was to give the address out in case of emergencies. Mom is something wrong ?" Bianca enquired.
" Yes now that you ask dear, I walked on the two of you having sex. " Erica let out feeling ill.
" I'll go get you some water miss Kane. " Frankie offered.
Erica held up her hand blocking Frankie's exit. " First of all wash your hands. Secondly I don't think I can drink anything except for maybe scotch right now which I don't need. Now girls the reason I'm here is because I wanted to offer my help with anything you girls need for your wedding. " Erica explained slowly still in shock.
" Actually there is something you can do mom. "
" What's that Bianca dear ? " Erica asked.
" Get out. " Frankie replied no so subtly grinning.
Bianca let her have right in the left arm. " No, the church would you see if Pastor would perform our ceremony ? He's performed most of yours so he knows you a bit better than I. "
" Well of course though I don't see a problem. I'll go do that right now and leave you two.. to... do..."
"By mom. " Bianca called out listening for the front door to shut. Once it did she let out her giggles. laughing so hard she fell over sideways.
" What is so funny, " Frankie asked annoyedly, " That's it I can handle her walking in on us once when we were clothed. But now the padlock is going up. "
" What, why ?" Bianca asked back knowing full well Frankie was going to say something more amusing every second until the new lock went on.
" Bianca, honey, are you high ? Your mother just saw me naked, whats worse she saw my naked on your naked and thats..just unacceptable. " All Bianca's only reaction was to laugh harder. Frankie put her hands on her hips and put her utility belt on then grabbed a brand new padlock. " Go on laught it up I hope you get very sore for laughing so hard Bianca Montegomery. " She added becoming amused herself and setting to work on the front door.
Bianca got up once she could breathe with mustering so much as a snicker. She saw Frankie hard at work on the door drilling the hole and piecing the lock together then testing it.
Frankie hardly noticed the other woma's prescence. Until she turned her head. " There ya' go stairing at me again. "
" Well it's all your fault if you didn't look so sexy in that tool belt and those jeans that make your butt look so cute. " Bianca replied trying to make Frankie blush walking up and slapping her on the behind.
" Oh, I see you're teasing me to death. " Frankie stated shaking her phillips head screwdriver at the dark haired woman. " Well I got news for ya' no naked Frankie until this lock goes in place." She said matter of factly.
" That's okay because while you're doing that. I've got to go to the dress shop for a fitting and I told the girls I'd meet them there. " Bianca said giving Frankie a quick kiss and went to leave.
" Hey what girls, I'm getting jealous here. " Frankie mock pouted.
" Just Kelly, Kendall, Annie and Babe. Some of us have to be girls you know we don't all have groomsmans pacts like you and Josh. " Bianca added wisely.
" Funny, you wish you could bond like we have. That reminds me do I get Leo as a groomsman or is he going to the pastel dress side of the party ?" Frankie shot back.
" You'd be surprised how well he can pull off drag for a straight man. But I suppose your side gets him since I'd hate to immasculate him in front of his wife. " Bianca replied getting into her car and left for the Bridal shop.
" Okay , seriously girls what color should we suggest to Bianca. Because I don't wann be stuck in a dress from a Hitchcock film. " Kendall stated as the rest of the women laughed. While perousing through the racks of gowns and formal wear.
None of them ever noticed Bianca come up behind them. Until she tapped Babes shoulder.
" Bianca ! I'm so happy you and Frankie are tyin' the knot. Congratulations ...again. " Babe greeted with a big hug.
" Yeah, yeah cut the touchy, huggy crap how we wanna know how far down on the fashion nightmare we're all going for this wedding ?" Kendall enquired all the women folding their arms.
"Actually I don't know..." Bianca sat down in the waiting area. " I've never planned a wedding I've only been in them. I was thinking something white for me of course and then maybe a royal blue for the bridesmaids. .?"
" Well that's a good starting place. " Annie said to the confused bride to be. " Why don't we start with your fitting first, lets pick a gown and the seamstress will help us out okay. "
" Sounds good. " Bianca replied a little less nervously. All the girls huddled around her hugging her and giving her suggestions.
Frankie called Josh over for poker. Which turned into Frankie, Josh, Tad, Jack, Zach and Leo all setting around Frankie's poker table drinking beer and having mexican take out.
" So she just barges in and well you can imagine what she came in on. Jack she's your wife. I got a question for ya'. "
" I do enjoy your questions but if this in any way involves my niece/step daughter and you activities. I don't want hear it. " Jack replied looking at his hand.
" I know what you about to ask. " Zach added looking up from his cards.
" Oh, yeah whats that, oh wise one. " Frankie responded.
" You want to know if you and Bianca will ever have any privacy. For intimate encounters. And I'm telling you now once Erica walks in on you naked. She'll knock everytime. If that doesn't work two words. Security system. " Zach answered smirking.
" I'll drink to that gentlemen. And honorary gentleman. " Leo added raising his beer.
" Here, here. " They all raised their bottles and drank.
" So there we were together and in walks mom. " Bianca explains to her bridesmaids and friends.
" Oh, my gosh girl what happened ?" Babe asks further.
" Yeah, spill did mom die of shock. " Kendall enquires.
" Or nothing so horrible she could just faint like a stone statue. " Annie adds.
" No none of those. Though she almost lost her lunch. Then Frankie offered to get her some water and she told her to wash her hands first. And that the only thing to help her was scotch in large quantities. " Bianca finishes.
" Bianca some advice sister to sister. Security system seeing you naked in bed with someone isn't enough to stop mom. It's like she adapts or something. " Kendall says informatively.
" Okay I'm new to the circle here. " Kelly states. " What is up with you girls mom ?"
" She doesn't want us to enjoy our private lives especially Binx there. She walked in on her and her ex after her first time." Kendall replies sipping some champagne sample.
" So your mom is allergic to lesbian love ?" Kelly askes.
" No, unfortunately I think she's just allergic to the thought of me having lesbian sex. " Bianca admits also trying some champagne.
" I've got the solution. " Annie announces. " Just convince Frankie to have a sex change like that Bono person and your problems will be solved. This is good champagne. " She adds.
All the women are getting slightly more that tipsy.
Bianca shakes her head. " Not gonna happen she and I are very happy with ourselves as we are. Besides it takes too much time before the honeymoon. I'm considering an everlast vault with inside locking system. "
" Yeah, besides I could think of a couple things Frankie would develop that wouldn't do anything for you Binx. " Kendall teases.
" Mmm...You know that Frankie and Josh actually made a pact to be each others best man..person whatever. Why don't we ever make pacts like that. I mean she gets upset all she has to do is play poker or go for a run. Why is that ?" Bianca asks.
" Because your girlfriend is freakishly boyfied. " Kendall replies.
" Or maybe it's because since she's attracted to women the only woman she feels comfortable enough to confess anything to is Bianca. And the other stuff she feels better talkin' to a bunch of guys about. " Babe adds.
" Could be, I'll bet right now she's have beer and tacos with all of her bachelor party buddies. And playing cards. " Bianca states covering an unladylike belch from the alchohol.
" Speakin' of Erica and Frankie and everything like that. How fast did you put your clothes on Bianca ?" Babe asks.
" From zero to sixty. Why?" Bianca replies.
" Because I think that's Frankies shirt you're wearing. Unless you're a patriots fan. " Babe answers. All the girls bust up laughing.
" If I've got hers on then she's wearing my peasant top. Those guys are never going to let her live it down. I think we'll go with the '78 from the local vineyard. " Bianca tells the planner. " Right girls onto cake samplers."
The game was nearly over Frankie and Leo were the only two not folding. Until Leo noticed his un-girly cousin's attire.
" So Frankie how fast did you get dressed when Erica caught you and my best friend in your moment of sin ?" He inquired cocking his eyebrows above his cards.
" Fast why ?"
" Because 'cos I've never seen that shade of red on you before. It looks a little pink. "
Frankie looked down at her shirt. " Oh. God. I've got Bianca's shirt on eww why didn't I notice that sooner. Excuse me. " Frankie quickly eliminated the problem. Taking Bianca's blouse off and finding a white t-shirt throwing it on and returning to the table. " Very funny Leo give me my hand of cards back. "
Pastor Albright was in a meeting with Erica won't take no for an answer Kane.
" I'd love to help you Misses Montegomery. But the church is clear there can be no homosexual ceremonies on these premises. If however your daughter and her partner could find another venue at which to hold the ceremony. I would be more the happy to personally perform it. There are no laws binding me. "
" Well I'm sorry to hear that my daughter cannot be afforded the same right as I have and my other daughter have. I'm also sorry to hear that the same laws they set into place a hundred years ago apply to the here and now. Good day Pastor. " Erica stomped out of the church on her heels.
" I have to find a way to get that church board to change their minds. Their narrow little minds. " Erica thinks for a moment and places a call.
To Be Continued.
