Rainbow Roses: Red Rose

…

The Red Rose is a symbol of love. A single rose of any color is a sign of utmost devotion.

…

Agent Abigail Cameron walked through the halls of Gallagher Academy. Her high-heeled boots' clicks echoed in the empty hall. The girls of Gallagher had gone to the dining hall for dinner, yet Abby was not in the mood for the cheerful chatter of young women in love or the aroma of warm food. In fact, the thought of food made this CIA agent feel like puking.

Why? Some might ask. Because today was Valentine's Day and Abigail Cameron was not in love. She was utterly alone and Abigail Cameron was never alone on Valentine's Day. Abby was notorious for her various hook-ups and such on any day, but the one day when intimate relations mattered to her, she was on her own and single. However, if any real person took the time to take a deeper look and dig a little farther into Abby's heart, they'd find the true reason why she felt like throwing up.

She was confused. She was so very perplexed and the fact she was so discombobulated frustrated the CIA agent and turned her into a total emotional mess.

Unfortunately for Abigail, her sister, Headmistress Rachel Morgan of Gallagher Academy, called this feeling 'sexual tension'. Abby begs differ.

…

A Summary of Abby talking to Rachel:

"Well, Abby, from a professional point of view, I would say that you caught some bug. From a sister's perspective though, I really think you and Joe have sexual tension that needs to be resolved," Rachel Morgan told her younger sister with little knowing smile.

Abigail Cameron glared at her older sister. "We do NOT have sexual tension!" She cocked her hip and placed her manicured hand at her waist. "Joe is just being a butt like usual."

Rachel Morgan felt her lips curling into a small, involuntary smirk and she arched her eyebrows. "Indeed? That there is definitely a sign of sexual tension."

Abby flipped her glossy dark chocolate hair so that the long waves tumbled over her shoulder in a way only a spy's could. She opened her mouth to retort, but her sister cut her off before she could make any sound.

"Go talk to him, Abby," Rachel Morgan said firmly and pointed an elegant finger at her office door. "Now, out! I've got things to do."

Abby crossed her arms. "Like what?"

"Like talking to my husband. We have stuff to catch up on. Four years is a long time to be MIA," Rachel answered.

"You mean sexting with your husband?" Abby asked with her own smirk as she rose from her seat.

Rachel Morgan threw a pen at Abby with deadly accuracy. "Scat, Abigail!" she yelled with a light touch of pink to her cheeks.

"I'm going already! Gosh, woman!" Abby shouted as she caught the pen with ease. Her words with broken up by her laughter. She made her way to the office door and added with a wink, "Have fun!"

Rachel picked up another pen and pelted it at the retreating agent. "Abigail!"

…

A deep voice broke into Abby's thoughts. "What are you smiling about, Abby?"

Said agent spun on her heels to come face to face with a pair of rich green eyes and a mop of dark hair. "Joe!" said Abby, surprised. "Shouldn't you be having Valentine's dinner with the rest of the school?"

Joe Solomon countered with, "Shouldn't you?"

Abby placed her hand on her hip and said, "Yes, but I have no good reason to be celebrating Valentine's Day."

Joe smiled and laughed, "What makes you think that? Everyone loves you here."

"Likes me. Not loves me," corrected Abby quietly.

"Does somebody need a hug?"

Abby nodded. CIA agent Abigail Cameron just admitted to weakness! She never does that. But today just seems to be an exception. Or maybe it's just Joseph Solomon.

Joe moved forward to hug her. Abby let him wrap his toned arms around her as she slipped her own arms around her friend. She placed her head against his chest with a small sigh.

Joe leaned down to nuzzle Abby's cheek gently. "Are you sure no one loves you?" Joe whispered in her ear.

She felt him press a thin stick-like object in her hand and heard him murmur, "Because I sure do."

Abby raised her head from his chest and lifted the object into her line of sight. "A rose?"

Joe tightened his grip on Abby. "A single red rose because I love you only."

"Is that why you've been acting weird lately?" Abby asked. She hugged him tightly.

"You could say that."

Abby stood on her toes. "Stop being so cryptic and kiss me!"

So Joseph Solomon did.
