Frankie

Chapter 6 *UNEDITED *

CHAPTER 6

Driving to the wedding boutique was quite but comfortable we made a little chit chat but nothing big i could sense Frankie was a little on edge about something not sure what but he just seemed tense and a little ridged although i haven't known him long he mostly seems cool and relaxed so i could tell there was something up "You ok Frankie?" I took a little peek at him and his hands flexed on the steering wheel yep somthings up with Frankie !!! " just thinking about my brother babe, this suit fitting makes it feel more like it's really happening and there is nothng i can do about it" i though about this, he told me his brother was getting married to do the right thing for the woman claiming to be pregnant with his child and i admire and feel sorry of him in equal measures. He placed his hand on my thigh and gave it a gentle squeeze i covered his hand with mine and squeezed back i feel the scrapes on his knuckles and i rub my thumb over them "im sure it will be ok" i say quietly hopeing for Frankie it would be and even more so for his brother.

Thinking back to when we got ready to leave, i got showered i grabbed the robe hanging in the bathroom then went in search of my bag oh god in my rush to get out of my apartment yesterday i dont have a clue what i shoved in my bag i rush over to it and i let out a sigh of relief seeing ive packed a few decent outfits i pick out a pair of skinny jeans and a peach blouse and grab some lingerie which is black satin i know if i cant have loads of great things i make sure to buy beautiful lingerie just me knowing im wearing it makes me feel great.

i put on my outfit and make a start on blowing out my hair and this takes me the most time as there is a lot of it to get through i smile a little thinking of my brothers stupid threats saying he will chop off my hair if i keep taking forever in the bathroom when we were teenagers what a douchebag. I apply a little mascara and lipgloss then im ready to go i turn around amd jump putting my hand to my chest and see Frankie at the door "jesus you scared the crap outta me" he just chuckles yeah yeah whatever. "You ready babe i pulled the car out front" i put a smile on my face and join him at the door and we walk out to the car he opens the door for me then shuts it when im in and strolls round to the drivers side and gets in starts up and we head off the the wedding boutique

"so tell me a little about the work ill be doing in the club" and i really want to know i'm kinda excited about having a look round his office."well as i said its mostly the stuff i dont want to do like party booking which you may want to know is mainly bacholerette parties and birthdays i dont like to sit down with the women and talk colour schemes and flowers and dont get me started on strippers when that starts i call up one of the bar girls" i let out a giggle at that trying to imagine Frankie taking about hiring a stripper. We talk a little more about what i will be doing and it all seems great and i cant wait to start i just hope o dont fuck it up.

We pull up outside a very fancy wedding boutiqe which is what i would call fou fou the window is full of lace and not the pretty kind the stuff you find in your grandma's house "jesus" frankie mutters and im sure he would rather do anything than steo inside that shop. Frankie gets out and comes to open my door which makes me think he is a gentleman and not just trying to impress me yay for me the takes my hand and starts walking torwards the entrace.

Entering the shop from hell i look around and yes there is even more of the horrible freaking lace everywhere but on a closer inspection there are afew very pretty dresses we walk further into the back of the shop which much be the groom and groomsmen section there are tuxes and suits which all look very smart there are couches and mirrors and even a little stage in the corner with a tall man standing on it having a tux fitted its black with a aqua vest and crevat "nice" i mutter to myself as i feel frankie pulling me to his side "Callum i'd like you to meet Leighton" waving his hand out to the man standing on the little stage 'shit' "Leighton my little brother Callum" i look up to Callum and smile and say "nice to meet you" he smiles wide "and you honey ive heard nice things abut you" i frown and look to frankie who just grins "i take it the connor womes phone tree was activated" frankie asks his brother "yep mom and ren called about half an hour ago jesus frankie you would have though you were the one getting hitched the way they were yammering on" ok well that explains that but huh there couldnt have been that much to say we only met this morning and did even talk all that much on that thought Frankie turns us "oh sorry Leighton this is Veronica hamilton Callums fiance" i turn to look at the couch where a well dressed lady and maybe her mother or aunt sit "hi its lovley to meet you" she looks at me with narroed eyes then her face changes to a smile but even i can see its a fake one "yes nice to meet you" then she turns her eyes to frankie and her smile widens but she frowns looking down at her watch " your late frankie" ok thats kinda bitchy "sorry veronica been a busy coupla days" frankie says then kisses my temple and wispers "take a load off babe" and asks where hes is needed the shop assistant tells him to got to the fitting room his tux his hanging up there. I got sit on the counch next to veronica "so where did you and frankie meet?" she asks and i really dont want to tell her im not sure why just maybe from first impressions i dont like her "we met at frankies club" i say and she smiles like it may be somthing funny "he helped me out when something happened to me" she just keep smiling which i find rather creepy but i dont say anthing " well you must be someone to him the Conner men dont bring wonen round their family" she looks to the lady at her side and then to me "i didnt meet Mrs Conners till we found out we were expecting" well i wonder why if your the creepy man trapping lady ho bag! I think to myself oh god how long is this shit gunna take i dont think i can stand much more of this awful woman and i dont even know her i feel sorry for Callum. Just thinking about him he walks out of the dressing room in casual cloths and sits next to me "a little birdy told me you brought a dog into my brothers house" i smile wide thinking of him "walle" "huh" "my dog his name is walle" he throws his head back and laughs a big belly laugh and i giggle finding it funny but not sure why its funny "whats so funny" he looks at me while trying to calm his laughing and gets it down to a chuckle "my brother doesn't like mess. Dogs, women and kids equal mess" i stare at him thinking wow how do i relpy to that "i never said i dont like any a them things Callum stop scaring Leighton will ya" i huff out a sigh and look at him jesus he looks amazing in a tux making his shoulders seem wider and hips trim but looking up at his face his eyes are smoldering looking at me while i give him the one over. Grinning at him "you kinda scrub up ok Frankie" i say like im not giving him as much interest as i really am and that im probably drooling like Walle would over a pair of shoes but he know im sure the fact i can feel my face heat and i will bet my stolen ipad my eyes are as wide as sausers. Frankie turns back to the changing room with a laugh to get changed god just kill me now.

As Callum and Frankie sort their order of tuxs for the wedding i see the ice queen get up and start rubbing her flat (if it was any flater it wauld be concaved ) belly giving her body a strech as she does it "you wouldn't belive i already bought 5 pair of maternity slacks would you" i look at her like i have no idea why she would be talking about this to me she doesn't even know me "i will need 5 fitting before the wedding to make sure my dress fits, god what will i look like in a few more weeks" ok i need to escape the crazy lady "i bet your soo excited tho having baby is such a precious gift" i at least had to say something i didnt wanna say 'why not wait till the closest possible day before the wedding to have a fitting' but who am i to give her advice i know nothing about babies or pregnancy for that matter or even weddings  "yes well im sure ill snap back into shape after the c - section" right ok so not what i wanna have to talk to this woman like at all, ever but to be nice and not horrible to Frankie's soon to be sister in-law i ask a question about said pregnancy "how far along are you" she looks up at me and hesitates to answer for a split second "twelve weeks" i smile "thats great have you had a ultra sound scan ive heard they are awesome?" Another odd look passes across her face jeez ehat is with this woman i really need Frankie to get a move on "erm no i didnt like the last three obstetricians so i have some more appointments to go to" ok she is dinging the bell on the wierd-o-meter i see Frankie comming my way and thank my lucky stars "you ready babe" he asks and i nod enthusiasticly.

We say our goodbyes to Callum and his Fiance and go get in the car Frankie ever the gentleman opens the door for me and i smile politely at him and get in he closes the door and strides round to the drivers side and slides in "gunna swing but the club babe show you around while its empty" i nod " sounds good"
