Forever With You

Chapter Forty-Eight

          Franky wakes up the next morning in a panic. She turns quickly to see Bridget sleeping soundly beside her and takes a deep breath. She looks back up at the ceiling before closing her eyes to help focus on her breathing. When her heart rate finally calms, she turns on her side and looks at her wife. As much as she doesn't want to wake her, she can't help but to reach over and caress her cheek, smiling as she watches Bridget instinctively turn into her touch. She scoots closer to her and drapes an arm over her body, gently running her fingertips back and forth against the bare skin of her back. Bridget can't help the warm feeling that runs through her body, but keeps her eyes closed. "Are you going to kiss me or just keep teasing me?" She asks softly, feeling Franky's hand pause against her skin. She opens an eye, peeking at Franky's expression before smiling and opening both eyes. "Come here baby." She says before reaching for Franky.

As their kisses quickly become heated, Franky reaches around Bridget's nude behind and pulls her against her body. They both moan as their bodies melt into one another. Bridget breaks the kiss as she moves a leg around Franky before pulling them as she lies on her back. She runs her foot up and down Franky's calf as they look deep into the other's eyes. Franky kisses her tenderly before moving her arms so that each hand is on either side of the blonde's head. Bridget reaches around her wife and begins caressing her back with her fingertips. "How did I get so lucky Gidge?" Franky asks while moving a strand of blonde hair behind her ear, exposing the soft skin of her neck. Bridget raises her eyebrows in question. Franky grows serious. "By having you love me, like I love you. Out of every woman out there..." Bridget presses a finger against her soft lips, stopping her mid-sentence. "No one ever made me feel the way I do when I'm with you Franky. Inside and outside of the bedroom." Franky grins. "Well, not always inside the bedroom." Bridget blushes and pushes Franky's shoulder in a playful shove. Franky looks shocked at first, then presses her full body weight against Bridget, not expecting a wave of arousal to run through them both at the touch. They watch each other's eyes darken before reaching to hold the other's face between their hands. They kiss gently at first before Franky leans over and begins kissing the blonde's neck. Just as she hits a sensitive spot, Bridget reaches around and digs her nails into her back while letting out a moan.

Around nine o'clock, Franky wakes to the doorknob being turned and a knock at the door. "Franky? You up?" Franky lets out a sigh as she wipes her eyes with her free hand. She looks down at Bridget and slowly pulls her left arm free from under her body. Bridget nestles deeper into the pillow but stays asleep as Franky gets up and reaches for a shirt and shorts. She walks barefoot to the door and unlocks it before opening it just enough to see Boomer standing outside. "Oi Franky. You're gonna be late for work." Franky stifles a yawn before replying. "I took the week off to be with Bridget. The doctor suggested she take some time off so her throat can heal. The less talking the better." Boomer nods and tries to peek around Franky, who pulls the door closer to her shoulder, efficiently blocking any view into the room. Boomer looks at Franky. "Yeah, I, um. Shayne stopped by to visit yesterday. He wanted to know how you two were doing, but you were out cold. He said he may try stopping by today." Franky smiles. "Thanks for letting me know Booms." Boomer stands in the hallway fiddling with a loose string near her pocket. She's not used to Franky not allowing her into her room. "Well, um. I guess I'll get going. Gonna help the neighbor..." Franky chuckles. "It's all good Booms. You don't have to check in with me whenever you go out." Boomer blushes. "Yeah well. I just..." Franky shifts her weight and leans against the doorframe. "If you need anything..." Franky nods. "Thanks Boomer. Have a good time." Boomer nods and begins to turn around but turns back once more. "You sure you two will be okay?" Franky nods as she smiles. "Okay." Boomer says. "I'll just be next door if you need me." Franky smiles again. "Thanks Boomer." Franky says before watching Boomer turn down the hallway. She closes the door and walks back to the bed.
