A/N: And here I am again! Loving this pair! Enjoy!
A few months had passed since the events of Liam and Charlotte. It had been a nightmare to sort out but Charlotte had chosen not to press charges against Liam and instead they were going to break amicably with the fact he would only get to see his kids on weekends, she demanded a lot from him, all to keep from her pressing charges and sending him to jail. The matter was transferred over to Irish law officers when they went back to Ireland. Connie had about enough of it all and Andrew worried how she was going to cope with him, but she assured him she was ok.
Frankie and Andrew never got their week away and so Frankie decided to cancel it until they were in a better position to go. She was a little disappointed but she understood, so life the last few months had come and gone, Christmas and new year had come and gone.
It was dull and rainy outside and Frankie sat with a sleeping Teagan in her lap staring out the patio doors. It was in the quiet times that she often thought about her mom, she wondered where she was and how much she'd had to drink already.
A few tears left her eyes and she took a deep breath. Andrew sat at the dinner table and he heard her sniffing. He looked over his shoulder away from his laptop and furrowed his brow. "Are you crying?" He asked.
"Just silly tears." She said wiping her face with her sleeve. "One of those days I guess."
He got up and came over to her, picking Teagan up he put her gently on the sofa and covered her with a blanket. Going back to Frankie he stood her up and then sat down pulling her down into his lap and cradling her against his shoulder and chest. He wiped her tears and sat with her staring out the patio doors at the rain.
She broke down into a sob and hid her face in his chest, he wrapped his arms around her and stroked her side. "Heeeey…" he said softly. "Where's all this coming from?" He asked and kissed her head gently. "Beautiful?" He asked again and he was getting worried. He sat her up and looked at her, brushing her hair out of her eyes as she dried her face with her sleeve. "Talk to me baby."
"I don't know…." She said and he nodded. "Oh baby come here." He got her to straddle his waist and he pulled her to him. He rubbed her back soothingly and just held her whilst she got it all out of her system.
"Shhh…." He whispered when she eventually calmed down and he kissed her lips lovingly. "Baby you're emotions are everywhere because of your hormones… it's natural to feel these things…." He stroked her hair and back lovingly and held her tight. "I'm here you just let it all out."
She rested her head on him and racked a few sobs. He noticed after a while she'd gone quiet and he looked to see she'd fallen asleep on his chest. "Must be my animal magnetism." He laughed to himself. He was just drifting off too when Bruno barked and woke the both of them up. They both looked at him and Teagan was up and on the floor playing with something she shouldn't.
"No Teagan!" Frankie said and jumped up taking the unlit candle from her hands. Teagan cried and Frankie sighed, picking her up. "You can't play with this." She said and put it on top of the fireplace. Teagan cried more.
Frankie walked over to Andrew after a few minutes of her crying and asked him to take her. He did and Frankie went outside to sit on the porch. She put her head in her hands and sobbed… sometimes you just needed your mom there to tell you it was going to be okay.
Andrew watched her as he calmed Teagan down and put her in her playpen. He waited a minute and then went out to her, kneeling in front of her he took her hands and brought her to his shoulder. "What's all this about Frankie? What's got you this worked up?"
"It's my mum's birthday today… I miss her so much Andrew. Sometimes I wonder why and sometimes I wonder where and today I wonder both. Doesn't she care? Why did she have me if she didn't care? Am I just a fucked up person? Who am I to raise a child when, look at me, I'm a fucking disaster. An ex alcoholic drug abuser with a history of self harming, delusional whose been possessed twice been somebody's bitch twice and almost fucking drowned god knows how many times. Everyone fucking slaps me around, hits me and uses me and the only thing good to ever happen to me is you two and I haven't done a very fucking impressive job of that have I? I bet you're really glad you left the priesthood for this train wreck." She stood up angrily and walked inside not giving him the chance to respond.
He shook his head as he watched her go and followed her back in. He locked the door and put some soft music on. She stood in the kitchen leaning against the counter and he came up to her. "Dance with me." He asked in a whisper and she pushed his hand away. "Please." He said and offered it her again.
She sighed through tears and took his hand. He brought her against him and wrapped his arms around her swaying slowly. He held her to him and kissed her neck, softly stroking her back as they swayed. "You are an incredible woman Frankie." He started and she went to turn away, he stopped her and pulled her back to him kissing and swaying with her more.
"I know you think that you're not but you are, you're so incredibly special to me and I'd have never joined the priesthood had I met you first. You're the most wonderful, caring mother and the best most loving and sexy, sensual wife any man could ask for. Yes you've been through it and yes you have a history but it's those things that brought us together, it's those things that had to happen for us to be together and I wouldn't change them, they hurt at the time but now looking back I just fall in love with you even more. Knowing I saved you, knowing you saved me…I'm sure you're mom is safe and happy and misses you too but she can't be here with us for obvious reasons… baby don't ever think that you're not good enough or not enough, to me you're the reason I live and breathe, the reason I want anything in my life. You're my biggest success and I'm so thankful for you." He kissed her lovingly and she held onto him like he would disappear.
"My sweet beautiful angel." He whispered. "What I wouldn't do for you." He hummed as he swayed with her. He reached down and lifted her up onto the counter. He stood between her legs and grabbed a tissue, wiping her eyes and nose. He smiled and sung to her, "I got sunshine on a cloudy day, when it's cold outside I got the month of may, I guess you'd say what can make me feel this way…" he pointed to her. "My girl…"
She laughed at him and shook her head. "Andrew…" She buried her head in his chest blushing, "oh no, no, no I'm on a roll now!" He spun around and carried on singing, "don't you feel like cryinnnn…come on and cry to me."
"Oh my god stop!" She cringed and he laughed. "Mrs Kiernan don't you like my singing?"
"Oh no it's lovely darling…I'm sure every alley cat in town heard you…"
He stood between her legs and lifted her chin. "Nobody puts baby in the corner."
"I am NOT doing the 'time of my life' scene with you."
"Why not?" He pouted going over to the radio he put it on and spun around singing to her."
"…this could be love, because, I've had the time of my life…" he sang along with the music, he pulled her off the counter top and went and stood down the other end of the lounge… "get ready…" he said, waiting for the moment.
"If you drop me!" She laughed.
"Okay go!"
She ran at him and for a split moment before she leaped into his arms she saw a look of 'oh shit' in his face but by that time it was too late, he lifted her up and for a split second she was over his head…a very split second….
Bruno covered his face with his paw as Andrew fell backwards Frankie went flying, quite literally down the top of the cupboard smashing a vase on the way and landing head first into a waste paper basket, rolling forward and sitting up. She sat dazed for a minute Andrew looked over his shoulder and laughed hard.
"Frankie!" He tried but couldn't for laughing too hard.
She reached up slowly and tried to pull the basket off but her head was well and truly jammed in it. She got up trying to see where she was, it was dark though and she just kept bumping into things, Andrew laughed harder.
"Oh very funny mister 'I can do it!'" She laughed herself and reached out for something.
"Watch the….!" He said calling but it was too late, she bumped into the corner of the stairs, he laughed hard again.
"Andrew!" She shouted at him through the basket. "This isn't funny my heads jammed!"
"No wait, wait…" he got up and ran and grabbed his camera, taking a load of photos as she walked around aimlessly. He put Bob Marley's 'jamming' on and danced, picking Teagan up and dancing with her. "Jammin'" he sang…
"Andrew help me you evil man!" She wined and he carried on singing. She found her way to the kitchen and the knife block, she took out the chefs knife, the basket was made of bamboo weave, she grabbed the knife and started stabbing the basket.
Andrew about dropped Teagan in the playpen and ran over grabbing the knife. "Have you got a death wish?" He asked seriously.
"Well you're clearly not going to help me!"
He burst out laughing, "I'm sorry but I can't take you seriously looking like that."
"Andrew! My neck hurts!" She wined.
"Okay, okay…" he laughed and put the knife back, helping her to sit up on the counter top. Grabbing a pair of scissors out the draw he went to her.
"Okay keep still." He said as he tried to cut the basket. The scissors barely scratched it and after a little pressure and trying he broke the initial bamboo. The rest was easy as it broke apart, he slowly spread it apart and she pulled her head out, shaking her hair.
"Oww." She jumped down and went to the mirror. She had little scratches on her neck from the basket. He came over and looked at it, kissing them. "All better." He smiled and kissed her lovingly. She whacked his arm and looked at him. "You said you wouldn't drop me!"
"Sorry, I guess I overestimated myself." He laughed. "But at least I got you to smile."
She wrapped her arms around him and pouted. "But I don't want to smile."
He lifted her up into his arms and took her to the sofa, he put her down and came up over the top of her. "My love, there's only you in my life..,"
"No don't start singing again!" She laughed, he smirked and stroked her chest.
"How about I order us a Chinese and we put on your favourite movie and we snuggle on the sofa?" She asked him, stroking his chin. He looked to be thinking about it.
"As long as it's not the sound of music." She added with a smile. He looked dejected and then nodded giving her a kiss.
After the food arrived, Andrew put a film on Teagan would enjoy and they sat on the floor with the open boxes of Chinese, Frankie fed Teagan some rice, she clapped along with the music in the film.
Frankie and Andrew used the chopsticks provided to dig into their food. They laughed along with Teagan until she fell asleep on Andrew's lap. "I think it's past her bedtime. I'll bath her in the morning." Frankie said and got up, picking Teagan up she took her upstairs, through the newly installed stair gates.
Once she was in bed Frankie came back down and sat on the sofa. Andrew had cleaned up and he came and sat next to her, he took her hand and they locked fingers. She rested her head on his shoulder and they sat in silence just watching the fire glowing.
"Baby?" Frankie asked.
"Yeah?" Andrew replied yawning a little and resting his head on Frankie's.
"What's your most favourite food in the whole world?"
"Oh I don't know…" he thought for a second. "There's that little café inside the Vatican we went to that did that spaghetti alla carbonara that was lovely."
"I remember it was delicious…" she smiled taking it all in. He yawned again and looked to her. "Baby I've got a busy day tomorrow with work, I'm going to bed. Are you coming?"
"Yeah I'll be up in a minute I just want to let Bruno out before I come up."
"Okay baby don't be too long…" he kissed her lovingly and got up going upstairs.
"Bruno!" She shouted quietly. She opened the door for him and he ran out. Whilst he was out she snook over to the cupboard and reached to the back of the top shelf, grabbing her notebook and pen, she wrote down his favourite dish under the heading of Valentines dinner with my baby. She had a list of all other things on there too that she was planning, she couldn't wait. Tomorrow it was all going to come together perfectly, their perfect night of love and romance was on the cards and she had it all planned out.
She put back the notebook and pen and hid it and shut the cupboard. She went to let Bruno back in and locked up. "Go to Teagan." She said to him and he ran up the stairs gently pushing the door open to her room with his nose and going inside.
She adored that dog so much. She went upstairs excited for the morning and she flipped off the lights. Going in the bedroom it was dark so she slipped out of her clothes and into some pjs, going to the bed she pulled back the covers and slid in, pulling them back over her she wriggled close to Andrew who was already asleep and got as close to him as she could. He woke a little, enough to adjust himself so she could cuddle in closer, he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her goodnight. She watched him sleep for a bit gently stroking his face and hair kissing him softly on the lips, not enough to wake him but enough to show him love. He was her man and she adored the ground he walked on.
The morning came and Andrew was up early as he had a ton of conference calls to deal with. Frankie woke when Teagan started crying from her bedroom and she got up, pulling on her dressing gown and going to her. "Hello my beautiful girl." She smiled as she went into her room. She picked her up and took her straight to the bathroom for a bath, she was stinky.
Once she was clean Frankie showered and dressed herself, shoving on some skinny jeans and a flowery top. She put Teagan in a little dress and picked her up taking her downstairs. Andrew was on a conference call and she tried to keep quiet as he spoke.
Teagan fussed a little as she was hungry and Frankie put her in her high chair whilst she got her breakfast. Teagan cried a little and Frankie tried to hurry, Andrew ended his phone call and took his earphones out looking at her.
"Really?" He asked shaking his head.
"What?" She asked putting some biscuits and carrot sticks down for Teagan.
"You can see I'm on a call could you not be here for a minute!"
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to…" she tried but he cut her off. "I'm going in my office where I might get some peace and quiet!" He grabbed his stuff and went in there slamming the door shut behind him.
Frankie sighed and looked at Teagan. "Ok not the best start to the Valentine's Day I was hoping for…"
She put it out of her head, she messed up but it was ok he would calm down shortly and come out for breakfast. A perfect valentines breakfast with her man. She grabbed the bread and meat from the fridge and started making him his breakfast.
After cutting his bread into sort of heart shapes and all the meat and salad into hearts she was proud of herself for putting in the extra effort. It looked really good on his plate and she polished off the sides. Of course the kitchen looked like a bomb had gone off but she laughed it off.
She put his plate down on the table and a glass of orange juice and coffee. She grabbed his card and chocolates and gift and put it next to it and put a few rose petals around his plate. She gave Teagan a little more baby food and gave her some juice as she sat with her excitedly waiting for Andrew to appear from the room.
An hour later and he still hadn't come out despite several knocks on the door. Frankie sighed as she sat down next to his plate and looked at it, the bread had gone soggy and the salad looked like it had seen better days, his coffee was cold and his orange juice was warm.
The door opened and he eventually came out. He came to the table and looked disgusted as he spoke on his phone. He shoved the plate away and got up going to the cupboard and getting some cereal, a fresh cup of coffee and going back into his office.
He didn't even look at his presents.
She sighed again and looked to Teagan as she clapped in her chair chuckling. Frankie smiled through it, this wasn't the end and she had a lot more to come. She cleaned away and washed and tidied up.
Whilst Teagan sat playing in her playpen Frankie went and grabbed some washing. She grabbed his shirts and her washing plus Teagan's clothes and towels. She picked out her dress she'd brought especially for Valentine's Day and the sexy corset she'd picked out from 'that' shop she was in with Connie and Charlotte that time. She'd saved it for tonight, tonight was going to be perfect, she couldn't wait. She held the dress against her and smiled hoping he would like it.
She put it back and skipped happily down the stairs going to the washer and shoving the clothes in putting it on.
After playing with Teagan for a bit and watching some tv it was time for lunch and Frankie checked her notebook, she'd crossed out morning and breakfast and put sad faces next to them but she hoped lunch would be perfect.
She got the waffle iron out and made waffles, sweet waffles with fresh strawberries and blueberries. She got Teagan some pancakes and warmed them up a little and put some squirty cream on top. She put his waffles red hot on the heart shaped plate, she put the plate on the table and put some squirty cream on top in the shape of a heart. She put his gift, card, chocolates there and a little card she'd hand made from Teagan and placed it all perfectly.
She put some more pink rose petals around the plate on the dinner table and let him know his lunch was ready. She sat feeding Teagan when he came out looking at his phone.
She smiled excitedly and went to him he walked past her, sitting down at the table. He put his phone down on the table and just as he did Teagan threw her whipped cream at him and he sat there shocked for a moment cream dripping down his shirt.
"Teagan!" Frankie grabbed her and tapped her hand gently. "No baby girl!" She picked her up and she started to cry. Andrew took a breath and stood up. "I'm sorry…" Frankie said.
"It's fine I'll just put another shirt on."
"Err…" she said as he started towards the stairs.
"What?" He asked and heard the machine whirring down the hall. He sighed, "did you really have to do the washing today? Today of all days when I'm so busy! For gods sake Frankie!" He went up the stairs pissed off as he walked across the landing she asked him. "What about lunch?"
"Bin it, I don't like waffles anyway!" He said and she watched him slam the door to the bedroom. Teagan cried and Frankie tried to calm her, Bruno came and sat by her and she looked at him then to Andrew's lunch.
"Well you might as well enjoy it." She went and tossed away the fruit tipping the waffles and cream into his bowl, tossing the plate in the sink. Teagan calmed and she rubbed her face, wondering if anything was going to go right today?
Andrew came out of the bedroom wearing a T-shirt and walked past her grabbing some snacks and another coffee, going back into his office.
She went to his gift, chocolates and card and put them on the sideboard wiping the cream off them. They left a greasy mark but she couldn't do anything about it, she hoped he wouldn't mind.
She cleaned up again and was determined not to let the day be ruined by anything else, she crossed out lunch in her notebook and put a sad face next to it, lunch was a flop but dinner was her winner for sure, for that he couldn't ignore. She smiled excitedly at Teagan and reserved herself to the fact the day was far from over.
A couple of hours passed and Frankie sat reading a book in the chair by the patio, watching Teagan as she followed Bruno around the house. She heard the dryer bleep and got up quickly, going to the dryer and taking out his shirt. She got the ironing board out and ironed it so it was absolutely perfect. She smiled and put everything away. Taking the perfectly ironed shirt she was about to go to his office when the door opened.
"Andrew I got you a clean ironed shirt!" She said happily. He looked up from his phone and took it. "Thanks, I've got to go."
"Go?" She asked worried.
"I've got to see some people about some artefacts, I can't miss it, there only in town tonight and I've got to go." He said and walked past her towards the stairs.
"But it's Valentine's Day I thought we were going to spend the evening together?"
"We will. I'll be back by 7 latest." He said and went into their bedroom.
She rolled her eyes and flopped down into the chair. He was putting his work before them again and it seemed to be more than usual.
She rubbed her face from a couple of tears. Nothing sob worthy but just frustrated tears. She quickly wiped them away a few minutes later when he appeared with a load of paperwork, his camera and went to the front door, he was about to leave when she got up. "Are you leaving?" She called he came back a little and nodded.
"Well bye then." She shrugged and he nodded. "I'll be back by 7, I'll text you, see you then." He said and grabbed his car keys leaving.
She stood there for a long moment and just stared as she heard his car pull away. She was absolutely determined that she wasn't going to cry, but she did a little. She went to her notebook and crossed out 'fun afternoon as a family.' With a sad face and a few tears. She looked at the book and hoped the last two entries would be better after all a lot of families only had their valentines night right? She thought.
She grabbed Teagan as she toddled over to her and decided the day wasn't over yet. She happily put some love songs on that weren't too soppy more lively and decided she and Teagan would have at least a good rest of the afternoon.
They played with her toys, played with Bruno, they ate snacks and watched 'Jungle Book' on the tv Frankie sang along and Teagan clapped, she loved it.
As the evening drew on Frankie thought she best get her pretty butt in gear. She text Andrew and asked if he was going to be home by 7, he changed it to 9pm for definite, she agreed begrudgingly but she agreed.
So the night began she started by taking a shower, she went downstairs with Teagan and put her in her playpen whilst she made the place beautiful. She put red streamers around the room, hung paper hearts everywhere. She filled some heart balloons with helium and tied them down around the room. She dressed the dinner table with a red love heart cloth.
She brought dinner plates with heart shapes and she put candles all over the other end of the table. She dressed everywhere from the lounge to the bedroom with red rose petals.
She put fresh sheets on the bed and smiled as she decorated the sheets with roses and petals. She sprayed the room with a hint of musk and jumped up and down excited. She had candles for the bedroom that she would light when they made it up there.
She returned downstairs and looked around happily. It was almost 8pm and she ran back upstairs with Teagan, Teagan sat on the floor of their bedroom playing with the rose petals and Bruno as Frankie put on her black and red corset and suspenders she curled her hair and it fell down her shoulders perfectly, she did her makeup- not over the top just enough to give her a glow. She got the dress, a black little number and cut very short, a mini dress with diamanté details, she put the necklace on he brought her, a bangle and sparkly earrings. Everything fit perfect and she had a stunning figure with the corset underneath.
She slipped on some heels and did them up. She admired herself in the mirror and picked Teagan up. She took her downstairs as she finished up dinner she gave her some dinner and a bottle, within a few moments she was fast asleep and she took her up to bed. Gently kissing her as she put her down. She put her mobile and nightlight on and Bruno curled up on the floor besides her crib.
Frankie went down it was gone 9 and she dished dinner up taking it to the table. She text Andrew and told him dinner was ready. She'd made the carbonara he was talking about the night before, not as good but pretty damn close. She'd got a little bowl of tomato soup with croutons for starters that she placed next to their dinner plates and a big New York style cheesecake sat in the middle of the table with two forks. She brought his presents and placed them neatly next to his plate, Teagan's little card next to it.
She lit all the candles and put some soft romantic instrumental music on in the background turning off the lights. She straightened her dress and sat down at the table….waiting….
And waiting…
And waiting…
The candles were burning low and the food was all cold, the only real light came from the bigger candles around the room. She looked at the clock, it was gone midnight, Valentine's Day was an official flop.
She grabbed her notebook and sat back down at the table, crossing it all out and putting a little note next to it. 'Next year don't bother…'
She put a little sad face and started to cry. Thankfully her mascara didn't run but she would have cried anyway. She text Andrew again and simply put a sad face.
It was gone 2am and Frankie was tired. She pushed away the dinner plates and rested her arms on the table crying herself to sleep.
About half an hour later and Andrew pushed open the front door. He stepped inside and locked it behind him, putting all his stuff down he looked around at the decorations and candles almost burning out. He saw their dinner stone cold on the table and Frankie asleep next to it.
He'd royally fucked up, he'd got so invested in his work he completely forgot it was Valentine's Day and their day, work had used him and abused him to do their dirty work whilst they went off to have a fantastic night with their lovers.
He slowly went over to the table and saw Frankie's notebook, he picked it up and read all the things she had planned for the day, all the things he'd ruined. He felt terrible, he knew she was probably going to be really hurt and he didn't have the words for her. He sat down next to her and opened his card from Teagan, he smiled lovingly and next he opened his gift and admired the bottle of wine straight from Italy with compliments from an old friend.
His heart warmed and he saw the Irish chocolates and laughed a little she knew what he liked. He picked up her card and opened it his heart melted at her words:
"My darling Andrew, my lover and best friend, thank you for being such a wonderful husband and father, you make me smile and laugh and give me more love than my heart can take, I love you today, tomorrow and always, my sexy Irish man…until our lips meet tonight in bed…"
He sighed and put the card down. She'd made his favourite dinner and she looked stunning from what he could see. He knew he had to wake her but for a moment he just stared at her, stroking her hair and kissing her hand.
"Frankie…" he whispered and she slowly sat up. She stretched a little and rubbed her eyes.
"Hey…" he said gently. She looked at him and stood up, taking the plates to the kitchen and chucking the food in the bin. She put the empty plates in the sink and turned the lights on as she went around blowing out the candles.
"Frankie talk to me please…" he said and sighed.
"And say what Andrew?" She asked as she put the candles back on the fireplace out of reach of Teagan.
"I don't know, have a go at me or something…"
"What's the point Andrew? You're just going to say sorry and nothing will change the fact that yet again you're work came before your family."
She started picking up the petals as she went around, tearing the decorations down.
"Frankie I had to go…"
"So what about this morning? This afternoon when I made breakfast for you, then lunch? Then you had a go at me for every little thing, nothing was good enough, everything I did you couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge."
She chucked the petals she'd picked up in the bin with some of the decorations. "All I wanted was a romantic day with my husband and all I got was broken hearts. I tried Andrew I really tried to make it a special day, even when you kept putting me down, yelling at me or telling me you hated waffles because your daughter splashed you with cream…I tried every step of the way. I made you a special dinner, I laid out your special gifts I got dressed up and all for what? Not even a happy Valentine's Day baby?"
He went to his office and brought out a beautiful bunch of roses and a card and a gift and a teddy bear. He put them on the counter in the kitchen and smiled. "I didn't forget I just…lost track of time."
"It's too late Andrew, Valentine's Day is over and I'm going to bed. Why don't you sleep in the guest room tonight, I don't really think I want to sleep next to the coldest man in America tonight."
She slipped off her heels and took them in her hand as she went upstairs. He followed her with his eyes and watched her disappear into the bedroom. He sat back down at the table now clear of the romance she'd put to it.
He didn't realise how much this day had meant to her and he had well and truly been a selfish prick. Work had once again come in the way and he had let it. He felt like such a fool, they had used him for their own gain, he'd let them at the cost of his wife and daughter…
Well no more, he decided this was the last time he was going to be the coldest man in America. He went to his laptop and typed an email, he sent it and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Next he got up and went to Frankie's notebook, he turned the page and started writing…
The next morning Andrew woke early and got Teagan up and dressed so she was ready, he turned off the cooker and put the hot food on the table on the special plates Frankie had used. He'd redecorated the entire downstairs, filling the place with more balloons and a little romantic happy music, banners, streamers…
He crept into their bedroom, she was sleeping and he came around to her side of the bed. He took her hand as he knelt down to her. He held it for a moment…her skin was so soft, "Frankie?" He whispered and she roused.
"Leave me alone…" she said turning her head away.
"Baby please…" he whispered and kissed her hand. She pulled her hand away and pulled the covers over her head. He ran his hand under the cover and started stroking her thigh slowly. "Frankie…" he whispered.
She moaned and groaned turning towards him and pulling the cover down to her neck. "I'm still angry with you, go away."
"I messed up baby but I want to make it up to you. Will you please get up?"
"No." She said and covered her head. He laughed a little and pulled back the cover. "You're so beautiful when you're angry."
"Get used to it." She replied.
"Well before you get angry again can I please get you up, I want to show you something."
"What?"
"It's a surprise." He smiled and took her hand pulling her up. He knelt between her legs and stroked her hips, looking into her eyes he gently leant in and kissed her lovingly, she replied melting her tough exterior.
"I'm sorry I ruined our perfect Valentine's Day but I promise I'll make it up to you, do you trust me?" He asked holding up a blind fold.
"Oh hell no!" She was about to lay back down and he stopped her. "Please…"
She sighed and nodded and he put the blind fold on her, he led her downstairs and sat her in the chair. "Ready?" He asked and she nodded.
He took the blindfold off and revealed everything to her. She looked around absolutely stunned, "wow…" she stared open mouthed. Teagan was in her hearts dress sat next to her in the high chair munching.
She looked at the food and her roses and gift and card in front of her. She looked at him and he smiled. "Happy Valentines Day part 2." He said and leaned into her. She completely melted down and kissed him lovingly. "Now eat before it gets cold." He said and she looked at her food. It looked so delicious, she tucked into the food happily as they all ate breakfast together. Once breakfast was done he handed her the little love heart teddy first, she cuddled it and smiled again as he handed her a little wrapped gift.
She opened a white gold pair of heart shaped earrings. She loved them and put them straight in. She loved her chocolates and flowers too and kissed him lovingly.
"Thank you." She hugged the teddy and held it close to her heart. "Their all beautiful, you've spoilt me."
"You spoil me every day baby…" he brushed her hair back and stroked her cheek. "I love you." He handed her the card and she read it welling up at the words. She started to cry and he kissed away her tears. She got down on her knees in front of him and rested her head in his lap whilst she cried. "I'm sorry I was angry at you."
He wasn't having her on her knee's apologising that was where he should be. He pulled her up and into his lap holding her butt close to him she wrapped her arms around his neck and he kissed her shoulder, she cried into his shoulder and he caressed her back. "Don't cry…" he whispered, "my beautiful, sweetheart don't cry…" she held him lovingly.
A few minutes later and he pulled her back and dried her cheeks. "My angel." He kissed her lovingly and longingly, he'd missed her touch. "Come on the days not over yet, go get dressed whilst I clean up."
She stood up and he stood too watching her go. He cleaned up and put Teagan in her playpen. He flicked through songs on the stereo whilst he waited for her. She came down wearing a flowery dress that came mid thigh and a little shrug.
"You look beautiful baby." He smiled and she kissed him. He took her hand and guided her into a slow dance, he put his other arm around her and they gently swayed to the music.
"Frankie?" He asked. She looked up at him. "How would you like to go to that little island in the Caribbean tomorrow?"
She stopped and looked up at him, "but you have conferences tomorrow and we've got nobody to take Teagan? Plus I've got cleaning to do I mean this…" he put his finger to her lips.
"Frankie would you like to go?"
"Well of course but…"
"Then we're going." He interrupted her.
"But…"
"Frankie…" he pulled her to a chair and sat her down, he got down on his knees between her legs and took her hands, looking up into her eyes.
"Frankie I've put work ahead of you and Teagan too many times. It makes me someone I don't want to be, I'm anxious and irritable and that's not fair on you two. Well it won't be happening again, I promise you that because last night I quit. From today I'm running my own business where I'm the boss, you were right they were taking me for a fool, I've retracted all my information and by tomorrow they'll have nothing. From now on I'm all yours as much as I can be, but I'm done with them. It's you and me baby from now on, I love you my beautiful angel and nobody comes before you and Teagan anymore I promise. So let's go to that little island, my mom will be here by 10 tomorrow, she's coming with one of her friends, she's looking after Teagan for a week whilst we go on that little sexy adventure you're gonna wear me out on." He smiled and waited for a reaction, Frankie just stared shocked at him. "Baby say something…"
"I love you." She said simply, tears in her eyes. His hand went to her cheek and she looked away. "Baby? I thought you'd be happy?"
She let out a sob and covered her face with her hands. He was worried and he took her hands putting them around the back of his neck, bringing her head to his shoulder so she could cry.
"Baby it's okay…. I'm here…" he didn't know if she was angry, happy, sad or what? She suddenly kissed him and he was taken aback, he fell backwards and she landed on top of him.
Her hair fell around her face and draped over his, through her beautiful golden hair he saw her clenching her eyes shut, tears falling through the cracks dripping on his shirt. He gently rolled her over and came over the top of her, he brushed her hair back and she opened her eyes. He dried her cheeks with his hand and just stared at her, wondering what he'd done.
She leaned up and kissed him softly then more and more passionately. He ran his hand down her side then back up to her face pulling back. "Frankie? Are you angry at me?"
"No baby you've made me so happy, I'm overwhelmed I'm sorry…"
He released a breath and rested his forehead against hers. "I thought I'd upset you." He sat up and pulled her up to him. He stood and he pulled her up. She wrapped her arms around him and he held her to his chest.
She let go of him and went to the kitchen grabbing a tissue and wiping her face. "I'm so happy for you, you deserve to be free of them and be your own boss. You've got this Andrew, you can make this work." She smiled and nodded at him. "All I ask is that you don't let this change you, that you're still the man I married, don't turn into my father."
"Baby that won't happen, you're with me every step of the way and I hope that if I start to get like your father you'll real me back in. But it won't because you two are my world."
He came over to her and lifted her up into his hips, she wrapped her legs around him and her arms around his neck. They made out passionately, he caressed her butt. He sat her down on the counter and smiled lovingly at her. "So maybe later when we're all alone.. you can put that sexy dress back on, those heels and that sexy little thing you had on underneath?"
"Depends." She smirked taking his hands and wrapping them around her she rested her head on his shoulder and he held her tightly. "Go on…" he said.
"I want a nice dinner to wear it to."
"What my woman wants, she gets." He nodded. She suddenly kissed him and he almost fell backwards.
He held her and kissed her back passionately, she grabbed his trousers and fumbled with his belt, sticking her hand inside and grabbing him. He thrust towards her their kiss breaking so he could moan. He rested his head against hers and breathed heavy as she fondled him, his hands went to her breasts caressing them through her dress, he started kissing her neck running his hands up and down her back.
As she caressed him his hands went to her thighs and under her dress, finding her love. She moaned his name over and over as he did things to her that made her pant.
Thankfully Teagan was happily playing in her playpen completely unaware of what naughty things were going on behind her.
The tv on seemed to mask their moans as well.
He kissed her passionately as he felt himself get rock hard, she was very wet and he pulled her to the edge of the counter and took her, she leaned back as he lifted her leg thrusting like mad.
She laid back flat on the counter he put her legs on his shoulders and kissed her legs as he moved. They enjoyed each other for a little more, he sat her up to him and kissed her passionately, she slid off into his arms and he moved her up and down passionately. After a few minutes he laid her on the kitchen floor and turned her over taking her from behind. Within a few minutes more they both climaxed and he held her back to his chest as he sat back. He slipped out and they sat with her between his legs on the floor, he leant back against the cupboard.
He held her around the waist kissing her neck. She leant back against him and turned her head up to him. He kissed her lovingly, she sat with her head tilted looking up at him. He stroked her hair back as he looked down at her, kissing her forehead and bridge of her nose.
She stroked his arms and brought his hands up to her heart, holding them there one hand over the other. "All yours." She whispered. "You're all mine baby, every last inch of you belongs to me. You sexy goddess."
"I love being yours, you own me baby. Take me." She laughed and fell back into his arms.
He laid her back on the floor of the kitchen and held her hands above her head, he spread her leg with his knee and ground his member against her. She moaned and arched her back, trying to free her hands. He held them and whispered to her, "not yet." She moaned frustrated and thrust her hips at his, he teased her for a little bit before he pushed himself back in and once again they were making love.
She could feel him pulsate and breathe hard. She had climaxed too and he fell against her chest. "Oh baby." She said and ran her fingers through his hair. He laughed a little and pulled her dress down a little to reveal a breast that he could play with.
"I think we've had our Valentine's Day part 2 night early."
"We'll see!" He laughed determined. "Come to me baby." He said and knelt up. He pulled her up and then stood up pulling her up to her feet. Teagan looked at them and they both waved innocently.
He put himself away and she sorted herself out and went to the loo. When she came back she came up behind him in the kitchen and wrapped her arms around him resting her head against his back. She ran her hands up and down his chest and he smiled. But he wanted her in front not behind, he took her hand and pulled her to his front. "I want to see you." He smiled and ran his hands over her cheeks tilting her head up so they could kiss.
"Should I go pack the suitcases?" She asked.
"We won't need clothes." He laughed into her lips. She laughed too and stopped kissing him but still looking up at him, she stroked his chin and neck. "Well I might, you're going to be tied to the bed every day."
She laughed and slapped his chest playfully. He grabbed her butt and squeezed it. She jumped up on his hips and he put her down on the counter. They kissed again passionately and only broke when they needed air. He ran his hands through her hair and stared at her. "I love you and I'm sorry about yesterday. I know you tried and I love you so much for that. You're so special to me Frankie and I don't know if you know it or not but I'd die for you. Don't ever change Frankie you're the most sexiest, beautiful woman I've ever met and I'm so lucky you're all mine."
"Ditto baby." She said softly and kissed him sweetly, wrapping her arms around him and resting her head against his chest.
