Abby stifled a yawn. The man in front of her took no notice to her obvious boredom and continued rambling on. Abby felt like she could walk away right now and this guy wouldn't even notice. She didn't allow herself to regret the decision though. She had physically made herself leave the flat to go to the bar and try to meet someone. Connor and Caroline were just…..Urgh! She couldn't even think coherently when it came to them. Even though Abby had grown to care about Connor, she couldn't see what Caroline saw in him. He was nothing like what a girl like Caroline would go for and Abby sometimes questioned her motives. But she made Connor happy and that was what was important after all. Unfortunately Abby had started developing feelings for Connor that went passed what friends should feel like about each other. So she had taken the appropriate first step. She had forced herself to this bar and she was seated talking to a guy named Pete or was it Paul? She couldn't recall and she didn't really care. He seemed to like the sound of his own voice. She cleared her throat.
"Um, I'm just gonna pop to the loo." She didn't give him a chance to respond and scurried in the direction of the ladies toilet. She wasted some time adjusting her make-up and hair and then she re-entered the place, smiling when she saw the table he was at was empty now.
She spent most of the night dancing by herself, which of course she didn't mind but she was trying to get over Connor and she was making no progress at all. It reached closing time soon and she trudged out of the place, hailing a cab and returning to the flat. As she entered she saw Connor sleeping on the sofa. Sighing, she marched up to him and nudged him gently with her hand. He didn't respond, only made a noise of annoyance so she pushed him harder this time and she was greeted with a newly awake Connor.
"Hi," he said smiling sleepily and he stretched before sitting up.
"Did you have a good time tonight? It's been awhile since you've gone out." He had obviously waited for her to get home but she wondered why. She thought he was over her now because of Caroline. Maybe it was just a concerned friendly gesture.
She smiled and took a seat beside him, leaning her head on his shoulder. She smiled as he readjusted himself so he had his arm around her shoulders, "Yeah I did. Met some people and got a few numbers too."
"Oh," he said simply, pretending to be casual about it.
"Yeah I decided its time I start looking for a guy you know and some of them seemed pretty nice," Abby explained smiling. She patted him on the leg before standing and calling over her shoulders.
"Right well I'm gonna get some sleep. You should think about going to bed too." He smiled, nodding and watched as she left the room. After she had left he groaned loudly before putting his head in his hands. He heard a chirping noise and he turned and acknowledged the flying lizard beside him.
"What am I gonna do, Rex?"
