Frankie laughed and shook her head. "It's nice to just speak French sometimes, you know? I wouldn't mind. I still have to think before I say anything in English."

Frankie followed Tatum's gaze, curling her fingers into the other girl's and walking lazily, their arms swinging slightly. "What else have you hidden down there" Frankie teased, bumping Tatum with her hip.

"I can still barely speak it, even with her and Sera speaking it around my head all my life. Understanding it, no problem, just.. my pronouncing is total shit, and writing it isn't any better," Tatum admitted, turning her head to exhale.

Laughing a little as Frankie bumped her, she squeezed her girlfriend's hand gently. "Wouldn't you like to know?" she replied coyly, as they crossed the yard, and eventually began their trek down the path and into the woods, brush and old pine needles crunching under their feet.

"Some people in France have trouble pronouncing it." she reassured the red head, stray plants brushing her legs as they made their way to the lake.

"Well, yes" Frankie said, rolling her eyes and slipping her hand around Tatum's waist. I find it very intruiging, actually."

"You do? I had no idea," Tatum replied, making a little mock pout at the other girl. "Who would have thought a girl like you would be interested in what I have under my bikini," she teased, taking another drag, before offering the joint out to Frankie.

"A girl like me?" Frankie raised an eyebrow questioningly and accepted the joint, inhaling deeply and blowing smoke skywards. She hadn't been able to have a joint in the house comfortably all summer. Not without a disapproving stare from her father when she emerged from her room. Her toes curled inside her boots as she took one more drag and passed it back to Tatum.

"Is that is?" She asked, pointing at a shimmering lake not that far away.

"Yes, a girl like you," Tatum replied. "You know, a very pretty, and very s-- very, uhm, attractive girl, and dressed like that," she added, laughing a bit. "It's not like hot girls want to see under my bikini very often," she added. Taking a couple more quick hits, she ducked under a tree branch, as they were getting closer to the shoreline.

"That is it," she replied, nodding her head. "It's a little cold, but not too bad."

Frankie chuckled and accepted the compliments and tutted at Tatum's insult to herself. After a couple of months Frankie had accepted that Tatum berated herself a lot, but she still thought she was mad for doing it. "Listen," she said, pulling Tatum to her until they were face to face, perfectly matched in height. "You are beautiful" she said firmly, kissing the red head fiercely before breaking away.

Frankie slipped out of her boots and peeled off her t-shirt, wading into the water up to her middle. She only complained a little, the water warming up as you go used to it. She ducked down, getting up to her shoulders wet before standing up again.
