Remembering Frankie Chapter 11 FRANKIE "Go fish" "Got any threes" "Go fish" Kate lent down picked up her card and flashing a smile picked out her pair and placed it on the woolen carpet. The phone buzzed in the kitchen and she jumped up to retrieve it. Felling around the soft carpet, hands sinking in. Kate strode into the room smiling and handing the phone to se said. "It's for you" she winked and I stood up leaving her there. "Hello" "Do you want to get an ice-cream" Smiling I replied, "It's about 13 degrees" "Do you want to ummm" I could almost hear him thinking. "Can I come over?" I asked smiling a little. "Yes" I put the phone next to my sister. Smiling she got up and packed up the cards not waiting for an explanation. I picked up my keys and pulled on my grey wool jumper opened up the front door. "Thanks Kate" My fingers twirled around like dancers on his stomach as we huddled up together under his warm silky blankets. The wind was cold and it whisped through the window letting the pale curtains fly in the wind. I let him bend down and kiss my lips softly pulling away he smiled and lay backdown I fell to his chest once again. We lay side by side matching each others movements I lifted my arms and he copied in the same silly way. Dorky smiles on our faces we left to make pancakes. Flour was thrown around the room creating a haze as our convocation deepened I sat on the bench as he lent up against me I tangled my hand through his dark mat of hair. "I love you Frankie Mae Alaska" "I love you to Clay Bear Wood" We toddled backed to bed with our stack of honey covered pancakes dripping down onto cold floor. "You know," Clay signed as he slid a pancake straight into his mouth, "We could go, we could go places" "Where do you want to go Clay" I asked him honey dripped onto my chin, his finger was there to scoop it up. "I don't know somewhere where we can escape everything and anything" he jumped up. The pancakes fell to the ground. "Like my Cancer" I said sadness suddenly coming over me. Clay knelt down next to me and held my hands he spoke firmly. "We will beat this Frankie" he started to say. "Clay" "No Frankie stop denying it. I want no I need to bet this for us. For everyone." "Ok" He smiled jumped back onto the bed and pulled me on top of him.
