New story 2
Hey guys! This will be a multi-chapter story that I hope you will like. If you read my other story 'Realisations' this could sort of be a sequel to that but only if you want to think of it like that because it is fine as a stand -alone piece. Basically Abby has decided she has had enough of Caroline's unconvincing relationship with Connor and decided she's going to stop pushing Connor away. She's come up with a plan to win Connor from Caroline. I do not own any of this so don't sue.
Abby had gotten home earlier in the afternoon after having lunch with Jenny and she walked in on Connor and Caroline kissing. It was the first time she had actually seen them kissing and it hurt. She had stealthily sneaked back downstairs and out onto the street. For the first time in god knows when Abby was jealous. She stayed out on the street until she felt like she could deal with it and she hesitantly walked back upstairs, relieved to find that they were sitting talking when she walked in. They looked up as she entered and she found she couldn't look Connor in the eye. It hurt too much. What hurt more was that his face lit up when she walked in.
"Abby! Hi! I didn't think you'd be back for a while so I invited Caroline over. Hope that's alright…" he said through his adorable smile. Abby cursed herself. She was not supposed to think of him as adorable…but he was.
She smiled convincingly, "Its fine Connor. Jenny and me went and had lunch but she had to rush off somewhere."
"Well do you wanna join us? We were just talking about how the old Star Wars was better than the new ones," Connor offered excitedly. Abby laughed and glanced at Caroline in disbelief. Before she had a chance to cover it, Abby saw Caroline roll her eyes. Abby glared at the offending girl, "No thanks, Con. I'm just gonna have a cup of tea and relax and read." He looked a little disappointed but nodded before turning back to Caroline, who hastily planted a smile on her face again. Abby narrowed her eyes, she didn't trust Caroline.
She made her tea and gave Rex some food. Abby whispered to the lizard conspiratorially, "feel free to bite her if you want Rex." He chirped happily and she stroked his head affectionately. She re-entered the room and sat on the sofa, grabbing the magazine from the coffee table. She tried to focus on the content in the trashy mag but her attention kept turning to the couple seated at the table. Abby had no idea what he was talking about as he spoke of Luke Skywalker vs Anakin Skywalker but she saw that even though the girl sitting with him pretended that she was interested and laughed when appropriate, the girl was bored. She didn't understand this relationship at all. If Caroline didn't really like Connor then she could just dump him and it would be over with but she still stays with him. Abby didn't think it was possible to like someone and be bored by them at the same time. Sure Abby wasn't interested in Sci-fi and Star Wars and stuff like that but she didn't mind listening to him talk about it because his enjoyment of it was enough to make her smile. She had begun to accept the fact that she liked Connor in a way that was not appropriate of the term friends but it didn't mean she liked it.
Abby watched as Caroline stifled a yawn and Abby decided she was not going to let this go. She was going to win Connor off of this terrible woman. All she had to do was show how much better a girlfriend she would be if he chose her. She already knew he was attracted to her because he had spent basically the whole of the last year chasing her and she still saw it sometimes when he looked at her. She deduced that he was trying to move on because he thought she wasn't interested and at first she wasn't. But now Abby was giving in. There was no way she was going to stop her feelings anymore. The first step was going to be very physical. She knew just how to make him squirm again when she was around. She was going to have to 'break' the thermostat again. Her plan would begin tomorrow.
A/N: Sorry that it's short but it needed to end there. You can think of it as a sort of prologue. Please review and let me know if you like it guys.
