Abbie woke up to the usual silence that constantly engrossed her house in the mornings. She lay in bed and glanced at her alarm clock which read 7:55 AM. Good she still had five more minutes of leisure. She decided to check her phone for any messages that was of importance. She read a text from Ichabod.
I am offended by the inaccuracy that your deeveedee so diligently displays.
Abbie chuckled while wiping the sleep form her eyes. She had sent him home last night with a movie about the Revolutionary war. She knew that he was gonna be in an outrage she just couldn't help herself when she stumbled upon it at the library. She had decided to put her phone down when she received a text from Jenny.
Out BBL
Jenny wasn't one for words. Abbie sent a text back
Awwww. I thought we were gonna have breakfast
That was the only reason why Abbie had set her alarm for 8 AM on a Saturday. Jenny noticed that Abbie never ate anything for breakfast, so Jenny decided that today was the day that she would take her to one of her favorite restaurants right outside of Sleepy Hollow
Can't. Rain check? Jenny responded.
Abbie rolled her eyes
*sigh*Abbie texted back just to annoy her sister.
Jenny replied with an emoji and Abbie flinched as her laugh was interrupted by the loud beeping of her alarm. Great it was 8AM on a Saturday and she officially had absolutely no plans. She made a mental note to get some girl friends as she got out of bed to shower. Abbie decided that she was going to go for a run and slipped on a tank top and her spandex running shorts. She started for the trail that wasn't too far from where her cobblestone house sat on the block. When she got to the trail she placed her hair into a small bun at the nape of her neck, put her headphones in and started off. She took long easy strides down the trail and was on her third lap when she thought she felt someone behind her. She turned her music down as she picked up her pace not turning to look behind her. When she felt that she had ran far enough she stopped and turned around but found no one there. She let out a sigh and was about to start up again when she turned around and bumped into someone. She let out a slight scream. She looked up to see who had suddenly appeared in front of her. It was no one other than Luke Morales in all his dimpled glory
"Whoa! A little jumpy there don't you think?"Luke smiled as he steadied Abbie by placing his hands on her shoulders.
Abbie nonchalantly shrugged his hands away.
"You just scared me that's all."
"Oh. Sorry about that."Luke replied while still flashing his two thousand watt smile.
Abbie did a half smirk "Well I better get going."She said while putting her headphones back into her ears.
"Why in such a rush? You got plans?" He asked while slightly nudging her with his elbow.
"Mmhmmm" Abbie lied while jogging off. Luke waved a silent goodbye as he headed off in a different direction. Abbie made a face to herself about how weird that was. She continued to jog for about 10 more minutes before slowing down to a walk. She knelt to tie her shoes not seeing or hearing the man on the bike that was coming full speed at her. He yelled in warning for her to move from the middle of the road or both of them would end up hurt. She saw the bike in her peripheral vision too little too late. The bike had hit her at full speed causing both her and the man to fly off into the bushes. Abbie bit her lip from the pain that was coming from her ankle and stomach where the bike had come into direct contact with. The man on the bike got up
"Are you okay?" He asked while reaching down to touch the ankle she was clutching.
"Don't touch it!" Abbie yelled as the biker flinched back at her sudden yelling.
"Okay but you need to see if it's broken" He offered up.
Abbie looked at him "Okay." she gave in.
He applied pressure to her ankle on both
"Ow!" She yelled "You said touch not strangle."
Just then Luke jogged up to the both of them
"What's going on here?" He asked looking concerned at Abbie who was on the ground holding her ankle and stomach.
"Well he was speeding down the damn road like he was in the damn Olympics" Abbie began
"She was just in the middle of the road , like she owned the place" The biker interrupted.
"Hey!"Luke interrupted both of their protests when they started arguing with each otherr.
"Abbie are you okay?" Luke asked.
"Yeah, I think so." She answered trying to stand up, but the pain that shot up her leg said otherwise.
She fell back onto her
"Ill help you." Luke said while reaching out to Abbie.
She hesitated for a moment then took his hand wobbling on her one good ankle.
"You, get out of here." Luke said while glaring at the biker.
The biker stared at him then took off without turning back
"Are you good to walk or do you need me to carry you?" Luke smiled while flexing his free arm to show off his flawless biceps.
Abbie rolled her eyes" You might have to carry me." she mumbled.
"What was that I couldn't hear you" Luke said smiling, holding his hand to his ear and leaning closer.
Abbie hid a smile
"I SAID you might have to carry me." Abbie yelled.
Luke bent down and picked Abbie up like you would cradle a child
"No way" Abbie said
"What?" Luke looked down at her.
"I meant on your back" Abbie said pointing to his back.
Luke flipped Abbie around onto his back.
"Better?"He asked.
Abbie hated when he treated her like a kid. He did that all the time when they were together. If she was cooking and couldn't reach something in the cabinet he would pick her up and help her reach it without her consent. It irritated her. She was damned proud when she stepped on her stool and reached it herself. She knew it was stupid, but it was something she needed to prove her lack of dependence.
Luke carried her all the way to her house and sat her down on the
"Okay thank you." Abbie said signalling for Luke to leave.
"Oh no way. I'm staying here until someone else comes."
Abbie stared at the wall in front of her with a stale face because she knew he would, and that she had no say in the decision.
"Okay fine then. Can you atleast make yourself useful by getting me an icepack from the fridge? She asked ."make that two" she added as he made his way towards the kitchen.
He came back and placed one on her ankle
"What's the other one for?"he asked
"My stomach"she said while lifting up her shirt.
Luke stared at the brown skin she revealed in lust. Abbie noticed and snatched the icepack and placed it on her stomach as she pulled her shirt down. Luke sat down next to her on the couch and turned the tv on. They sat there in a comfortable silence for hours before they passed out on the couch.
"Whoah!" Jenny said as she came in the house and flipped the lights on to find Abbie and Luke both asleep on the couch. Abbie was leaning to the right while Lukes head rested on Abbie's stomach.
"Ouch!" Abbie woke up noticing the pressure on her stomach and quickly tapped Luke to get up
"Oh sorry" he said while lifting his head.
"Hey Jenny. " luke spoke to Abbie's sister whom he had recently met.
Jenny nodded in response and looked to Abbie with a smirk. Abbie waved her hand at Jenny. She knew she would not be letting this go soon. Jenny walked into the kitchen with bags and left them alone.
"Thanks Luke." Abbie said while sitting up. Luke took the hint and left. As he walked down the street he called an unknown number
"Hey thanks for what you did today." Luke said
"No problem. The first job is always free. Let me know when you need another one of those favors." The biker replied to Luke and hung up.
