"Ugh…" Hoagie immediately recognized the pain coming from his head. He hoped it was only temporary. He managed to blink the sleep from his eyes away and he felt a draft on his body. He opened his eyes fully to see that only a thin sheet was covering his naked body. "What the-?"

"Good morning sunshine," Abby's voice with its sarcastic flair came from the corner of his room, sitting in the rocking chair his mother used to cradle him in to get him to sleep. Hoagie noticed that her clothing was a little bit stretched and mangled with a few rips in it. He then remembered that only a skinny blanket was covering him, he bunch up the sheet around his waist quickly so she wouldn't see anything inappropriate.

"Abby? What?"

"I thought you were smart numbuh two. And… It's not like I didn't see it last night."

It took his hung-over mind a few seconds to piece last night together. His parents were at their second honeymoon thing… Tommy went to stay at a friend's house… he decided to get into the beer he hid under his bed… Wally wasn't able to come over, something about being busy with Kuki… Abby came over… they got drunk… they…

His eyes got large.

"Abby says there you go," she said.

"Abby… we slept together…"

She rolled her eyes. "Of course we did. And you ruined Abby's shirt too."

Wow. He was more aggressive then he thought he was. He mulled all this over. He had lost his virginity to his friend whom he wasn't even dating. And, worst at least for him, he could only remember little snippets of it.

A long silence followed before he remembered something else.

"We used protection right?"

"Yeah," Abby said. "And Abby thanks god for that."

Does that mean she didn't like it? Hoagie was going through a million thoughts at a time. He always liked Abby. He was always attracted to her although he never thought she would like him back even after he lost all the weight. He was still a geek and she was so cool…

………………

"I'm sorry for ruining your shirt," was all he could think to say.

"Abby has a few like them at home," she said.

"I'm still sorry…"

Another thought struck his mind.

"I didn't… hurt you, did I?" Abby only shrugged in reply. "Oh God, Abby I'm so sorry…"

"You didn't hurt me anymore than any other guy would…" Abby started flushing, a rare occasion and one that he had to revel in before it was gone, "seeing as it was the first time…"

Oh god. She was a virgin too. Was.

"I'm sorry."

"Quit being so sorry!"

"Okay," he bowed his head in shame.

"I'm sorry for snapping at you Hoagie."

"It's okay. I guess I would be a bit cranky too if I lost my virginity to someone like me."

"It's not that, Hoagie."

"Of course it is. You're probably going to regret this the rest of your life."

"… No Abby's not."

He looked up in surprise after she said that. "I'm not going to regret it one bit either."

She got up from the rocking chair and walked over to the bed. Abby sat right beside him, giving him a gentle peck on the lips.
