Authors Note: This was pure fluffy with lots of spicy talk but I want to get back into some POV's for the next update. Thank you for all the new readers and followers. I hope you're still enjoying this story. It's one of my favorites to write.
Abby rolled over in bed feeling extremely lazy and beyond comfortable. She opened her eyes quickly remembering she'd stayed the night at Stuart's but he was no longer in the bed beside her. She stretched out her arms and pulled the blanket up to her chest thinking maybe he'd just gotten up to use the bathroom but when she looked towards the bathroom, the light was off.
"Stuart?" She called out but got no answer. There's no way he'd have just left her there without waking her up to let her know where he was going. Abby sat up and realized how sticky her shirt was from sweating. Stuart wasn't kidding about how hot his apartment got. She pulled it off and put her bra back on before smelling coffee from the kitchen wafting under the door.
"I smell coffee!" Abby bounced on the balls of her feet as she headed out towards the kitchen in just her bra and underwear.
"Don't think just because you woke up with a breakfast boner that you're getting any. I'm horribly cranky in the morning and your apartment has basically forced me out of my clothes but the last thing I want to see is your-" Abby stopped talking the moment she saw an older woman sitting at the kitchen table with wide eyes. Stuart was also sitting at the table, eyes wide as Abby came out in her undergarments.
"Oh wow…I didn't know Stuart had company." Abby wasn't sure who the woman was but Stuart looked like he'd gone into shock.
"Neither did I especially one so very naked." Abby started to try and cover herself up feeling her body start to flush from embarrassment.
"It's not what it looks like. I mean I know I was talking about boners and all that but I wasn't serious." Abby tried to backtrack everything she'd shouted as Stuart looked between the two of them.
"This is all sorts of awkward. So um Abby this is my mom, Mom this is Abby…my girlfriend." Stuart tried not to laugh as Abby wished she could just disappear but his mother moved towards her like she was trying to make the situation less strange.
"Oh of course. Hi, it's so nice to meet you. I'm so sorry for just dropping in unannounced." She put her hand to her head when she realized shaking Abby's hand while she was so undressed would probably be strange.
"No don't even worry about it. I just wish Stuart would have given me a heads up before I just paraded out here…half naked." Abby gritted her teeth making Stuart throw his arms out from behind his mom.
"He really should have. I'm sorry he can be a bit dense sometimes." Stuart looked at his mother and then back at Abby who squeezed her eyes shut.
"Yes, yes of course this is my fault. Awesome. I'm glad you both are hitting it off so well…on the fact that I suck." Stuart stood up and walked over to Abby but she put her hand up.
"It was really nice to meet you but I just realized that I need to go...die of embarrassment." Abby backed into the bedroom as Ella tried to speak up to make her feel less humiliated but she just shut the door knowing it was extremely rude. She ran her hands through her hair, pulling at it as she silently freaked out. She grabbed her bag and locked herself in the bathroom wishing she could reverse time. Abby had slowly started to get dressed before sitting on the floor of the bathroom kicking herself for walking out there and freezing. She should have at least put on a shirt or something.
20 minutes later there was a knock at the door that startled her.
"She's gone, you can come out now." Stuart's voice was light. She thought he might be pissed but the more she thought about it she was the one who should be pissed. That feeling went away when she realized how utterly upset with herself she was.
"Hey are you okay? Did you fall in?" Stuart sounded more concerned this time.
"I just need a minute." Abby managed to get out. She could hear Stuart moving around and it sounded like he was making the bed or at least fluffing the pillows on it. 5 more minutes passed before she heard him let out a heavy sigh.
"Can you at least open the door so I can see you?" Stuart asked.
"I think everyone's seen enough of me for the day, don't you think?" Abby said standing up to look at herself in the mirror. Her cheeks were flushed and she put her hands on them.
"Are you seriously still freaking out?" Stuart asked incredulously with a laugh.
"I think I'm entitled to freak out a bit. I just met your mom half naked talking about cooking breakfast boners." Abby pinched the bridge of her nose just thinking about it.
"That's true but even despite that she seemed to really like you." Stuart said trying to coax her out of the bathroom but Abby rolled her eyes. There was no way his mother left thinking she was even remotely good enough for her son. If she was Stuart's mother, she would instantly think that her son had brought home a stripper or something.
"Would it help if I said I think you looked great for it being first thing in the morning." Stuart offered making Abby shake her head as if he could see her.
"Actually no Stuart that doesn't make me feel better at all." She said annoyed with him doing a really crappy job of making her feel better. There was a beat of silence before she could hear him sit down.
"Please come out here." Stuart's tone had changed and Abby opened the door to look at him. He wasn't laughing or teasing her. He actually looked remorseful.
"I just…didn't want to meet your mom like that. I know that she's special to you." Abby confessed hoping he wasn't about to tell her just how weird she had made things.
"You're right she is and I'm actually really glad you met her because I've never actually had a girl meet my mom before so that kind of makes you special too." Stuart clapped his hands together softly and Abby smiled softly at him before walking over and standing between his knees. He put his hand on her hips and looked up at her from his spot on the bed.
"And it didn't hurt that you were half naked because she can assume we're having sex which makes me look pretty awesome." Stuart couldn't help himself as he teased Abby who shoved him by his forehead back onto the bed.
"Oh my God you are literally the worst. Moment ruined, Twombly." Abby walked over to the dresser and Stuart laughed as he laid back on his bed watching her move around his room.
"You know you could have come back out once you'd gotten dressed. She'll be bugging me to bring you to lunch or something now." Stuart had his hands resting on his chest and Abby leaned against the dresser.
"Seriously? I mean I wouldn't be opposed to going to lunch with your mom, if you're cool with that. I'd definitely like a second first impression." Abby said picking up the mug Stuart had brought in with him and sipping it. It wasn't quite right but she'd drink it anyway.
"I think she's just glad I've made a friend let alone a girl that likes me enough to stay the night with me." Stuart chuckled. Abby sat down on the bed and he moved onto his side to look at her.
"I hope she isn't traditional." Abby sipped her coffee again as Stuart chuckled.
"She's not going to judge you for staying the night with me. Hell my dad and her caught Junior having sex on the couch once and we aren't talking like some PG13 stuff, we're talking bent over the couch, butt naked, slapping and swearing kind of sex." Stuart said making Abby laugh.
"You make it sound like sex in public." Abby shrugged.
"It was our family couch. We watched TV in there...my mom held book club on that couch." Stuart explained further.
"Does your mom read smutty romance novels?" Abby wiggled her eyebrows at Stuart and he cringed.
"Okay I guess I deserved that gross imagery after letting you walk out in your underwear but can we please call a truce now?" Stuart put his hand out and Abby took it. She leaned over him and kissed him softly before hovering over him.
"Spend the day with me." Stuart said making Abby smile.
"Doing what? It's got to be good for me to cancel classes. I don't work today anyway but I do have to pick up my check." Stuart rolled his eyes.
"We can pick your check up now and then just hang, I don't know. We can go to the pier again, get some lunch and I'll even win you something again. I just want to spend some time with you." Stuart said tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.
"I could be down with that. Maybe we'll even get into a dirtier version of the 20 questions." Abby teased before pushing up from the bed.
"So basically the running theme of the day is boner killer?" Stuart teased earning a pillow to the face while Abby took her phone out into the living room to call the studio. By the time they left Stuart's apartment, picked up Abby's check from the club and got to the pier, it was around lunch time. Stuart let Abby pick the place this time and it ended up being an outdoor bar. The weather was holding up nicely and Stuart actually held onto Abby's hand the moment they stepped out of the car. Abby was glad she decided to spend the day just enjoying Stuart's company. She could relax and actually forget things when she was with him and she loved that about him.
"You looked a little bummed when you came out of the club. Was your check not what you were expecting?" Stuart asked as they walked.
"Yeah they shorted me 300$. It's a bunch of crap but it's not the first time and by the time I get it, I won't be able to use it. I'm trying not to let it ruin our outing." Abby cringed. She thought she'd hit her disappointment better but apparently not.
"Well I mean I could loan you-" Abby shook her head hard.
"Absolutely not." Stuart pulled on her hand feeling her pull away.
"It's not like I said I'd just give it to you. Who knows, I might trade you for a little TLC." Stuart joked but Abby rolled her eyes.
"First off, that's illegal and second, I'm not taking money from you. We're both in tight situations and I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself." Abby said firmly making Stuart smile.
"It's a good thing you aren't religious. Pride is up there in the whole sinners guide to hellraisers but I get it. Just let me know if you need any help. I'm actually pretty good at my side work." Stuart offered.
"Are you insinuating that I'm not good at my job?" Abby tested.
"Well I don't really know. I mean I've seen you teach but I've never really gotten the full sit down experience at the club so-" Abby stopped Stuart by putting her hand on his chest.
"Maybe you should come by sometime and I'll make a lap dance exception for nerds." Abby pushed Stuart towards a restaurant and he nodded his head.
"I'll hold you to that." He let her guide him into the outdoor bar for lunch as he chuckle.
They sat down at a table and ordered drinks before Abby sat back in her chair to look at Stuart.
"Not to break open a fresh wound-" Stuart laughed.
"Oh no here it comes." Stuart prepared himself.
"Were you ever caught in the act like your brother?" Abby wiggled her eyebrows at Stuart seeing him blush slightly.
"Nothing like that." Stuart sipped his drink and Abby's eyes went wide.
"Oh do tell!" She rested her chin on her palm waiting for him to spill his guts.
"I was on the receiving end of a really awkward, dry hand job when my mom walked in. The girl froze with her hand in my pants and it was basically as mortifying as it sounds. When I told you you shouldn't worry about what happened today, I meant it. She's seen WAY worse." Stuart laughed.
"That does make me feel a little better." Stuart shoved Abby's shoulder.
"What about you?" Stuart asked curiously.
"Oh I've never been on the receiving end of a dry hand job." Abby teased.
"You're the worst." Stuart dismissed and Abby shook her head.
"I've never been caught by my dad but I was almost arrested once for getting caught on private property." Abby confessed.
"Having sex?" Stuart gaped.
"Yes having sex. I was young and there was no way I was taking him back to my house so we figured we'd try it in the back of his jeep. While I'm a big fan of sex in public, I don't recommend it in a jeep if the guy is taller than a munchkin." Stuart couldn't help but laugh.
"I didn't realize you were such a sex in public enthusiast. I'm learning so much about you." He bit his lip.
"Maybe I'll warm you up to it." Abby winked at him.
"I wouldn't mind that all." Stuart leaned over the table and kissed Abby quickly.
"Maybe I'll even let you get to 2nd base." Abby teased. Stuart laughed.
"I've never understood the whole bases thing. I mean I love baseball and I get sex would be a home run but what qualifies for the bases? And how in depth are we getting? Are there foul balls? I mean a no hitter is a good thing in baseball but if you used it as far as sex was concerned, I imagine it'd be more of a negative thing." Stuart rambled.
"Well I'm going to say a foul ball would be a dry hand job, wouldn't you?" Abby poked Stuart in the ribs and he swatted her hand.
"You're funny, truly." He pulled a face at her as she leaned forward onto the table.
"In my book, first base is making out above the clothes. Second would be like fondling under the clothes, maybe a little grinding. Third would be anything requiring a job and all the way would be sex obviously." Stuart's eyebrows went up.
"Wow baseball has never been such a turn on for me before. I'll probably never be able to go to a game without getting a boner now." Abby couldn't help but laugh at Stuart.
"Hey a girl has to have a method to the madness." Abby shrugged.
"Was your first time in the jeep with that guy?" Abby tilted her head to the side.
"If I say no will you judge me?" Stuart cocked his eyebrow at her.
"Have I judged you yet?" He answered her question with a question making he sigh.
"True. Then no he wasn't my first. My first was with a guy I had a crush on in grade school and trust me, it wasn't great. It was actually really awful and I cried after." Abby admitted seeing Stuart's face fall.
"Why did you cry?" Stuart asked hoping the guy hadn't hurt her but immediately regretted it thinking he might have.
"I was so young and struggling with my mom not being around for me turning into a woman...I just kept thinking my mom would be so ashamed of me for just jumping into bed with someone like that. I totally freaked the guy out and he bailed but I just remembering sitting in the shower for like 2 hours afterwards crying my eyes out." Stuart reached across the table and Abby shook her head.
"I'm fine. I mean I've grown a lot since then and I've never really met anyone with a super happy story about their first time so I actually feel normal in that aspect." Abby could tell Stuart was trying to comfort her but she didn't want to bring the mood of their date down. She was having too much fun just being with him and pushing his buttons.
"Yeah mine was pretty quick and the girl gave me a hand shake as I was leaving so needless to say, it probably wasn't that great for either of us." Stuart's frown lightened and Abby smiled.
"Honestly I think when you're young and have sex, for girls it's all about making sure the guy gets off but the guy is NEVER worried about getting the girl off." Stuart narrowed his eyes at Abby.
"I don't think that's necessarily true. I cared a lot about getting the girl off but who the hell knows what they're doing when they're young? I at least tried." Abby reached over and patted Stuart's chest.
"I think that's really sweet. It's not every day a guy is a considerate lover." Stuart blushed leaning towards her but before he could say anything someone cleared their throat making them both look back at him.
"Hey sweetheart, when you're done slumming in geektown, give me a call." The bro in board shorts and a backwards visor slipped a piece of paper onto the table in front of Abby. Stuart looked stunned but was about to push his chair back when Abby picked up the piece of paper and handed it back to him.
"I'm sorry but I don't date big dicks, I only date guys with big dicks. Move along now." Stuart watched the guy look at her thrown for a moment before walking out.
"Sorry about that." Abby apologized as if her being attractive was a reason for some guy to be an asshole.
"Don't apologize for being approached by a tool...or saying I have a big dick. I mean I'm glad you have high hopes for my anatomy." Stuart teased seeing Abby's cheeks blush.
"Don't get cocky." She shoved Stuart and he put his hands up.
"You know I really like that about you. I like that you don't take people's shit." Abby patted Stuart's hand at the compliment.
"Not even yours." She added.
"Yeah not even mine but I secretly think you like arguing with me." Stuart sipped his drink as Abby rolled her eyes. Their food arrives at the table and they proceed to talk about foods that should and shouldn't be used in the bedroom while they eat. Abby can't help but notice just how open Stuart has become after one sleepover. He still sputters over some things but she finds it cute that he's still got a shock level in his very sarcastic brain.
"That's disgusting. Why don't you just eat chips off someone's chest?" Stuart laughed at Abby's ridiculous claim that she'd eat any snacks of someone.
"I'm more of a popcorn girl. Don't even act like you wouldn't get turned on if I ate popcorn off of your body." She challenged just as his phone started to ring. He looked at the screen and his eyes went wide.
"Do you think you can keep the boner talk to a minimum? It's my mom." He held up the phone and she gave him the finger.
"Hey Mom...What? No I paid that...well then I don't know why he's freaking out but he can't have that money. That's my money, I earned it." Stuart lowered his voice and turned away from Abby.
"No I'm not at the apartment, I'm having lunch with Abby right now...She says Hi?" Stuart looked over at Abby.
"Tell her I said hi back and that I'm sorry about earlier." Abby cringed but Stuart shook his head repeating what she said. He waved her off as Abby caught sight of Lindsay passing by the restaurant. Abby gestured outside and Stuart gave her a nod understanding she was going outside.
"Linds! Hey what are you doing down here?" Abby called out surprising Lindsay.
"Hey! I was just scouting some locations. I figured I could stall my boss from being super pissed if I sent him shots of the locations I'd want to take pictures at. What are you doing here?" She was clearly still salty that Abby had turned her down about the job but after seeing the check she got earlier and Stuart readily trying to come out of his pocket made her nervous.
"Stuart and I are having lunch. He's on the phone with his mom right now." Abby gestured back and Lindsay looked over her shoulder catching Stuart's eye line. He faked a smile and waved two fingers earning a mocked wave back.
"Shouldn't you be at work?" Lindsay asked narrowing her eyes.
"I cancelled my lessons for today. Stuart didn't have to go to HQ today so he wanted to spend the day with me." Abby shrugged.
"He has that luxury Abby, you don't." Lindsay rolled her eyes annoyed that she was wasting her time off instead of busting her ass to make sure she stayed in school.
"I know, you're right. I got my check from the club and it was 300$ short." Lindsay clicked her tongue to her teeth.
"The people are great but management sucks. You should have come out of that place a long time ago." She ranted.
"Stuart offered to loan me the money." Abby added seeing Lindsay's eyebrows go up.
"Seriously? What did he want? Blowies?" Lindsay joked but Abby hit her arm glancing back at Stuart pulling money out of his pocket to pay for their meal.
"He wanted nothing. He wanted to help me out and I told him no." Lindsay could see the panic on Abby's face.
"Well then you should be at work. You can't just-" Abby cut Lindsay off knowing that Stuart would be approaching them soon and she didn't want to miss her opportunity.
"Fine, I'll do it." Abby blurted. Lindsay looked her over for a moment.
"I'm sorry, what are you referring to?" She asked squinting at her best friend.
"The stupid modeling job. I'll do it." Abby looked back to see Stuart was handing the bill back to the waiter.
"Are you sure because you don't seem very sure." Lindsay smirked at her and Abby rolled her eyes.
"Don't be a bitch Linds. The money will go to school and the money I make from the lessons and the club will go towards personal stuff." Abby explained. Lindsay hated that Abby had to work so hard to get by but she actually thought it was pretty decent of Stuart to offer. Most guys wouldn't be so generous, especially guys who had to fend for themselves too.
"You know, it's okay for boyfriends to offer a helping hand right? You don't have to take it but it's still sweet of him to offer." Lindsay stepped closer to Abby seeing that Stuart was approaching.
"It's not about him. It's about me. I'm not going to be another burden on his plate. I've always supported myself, that's not going to change." Abby said quickly feeling a hand on her back.
"Hey Nerdburger." Lindsay greeted Stuart who just shook his head.
"Hey I see you can come out in the daylight without bursting into flames. That's progress." Stuart smiled at Lindsay who chuckled at his lame joke.
"Oh your wit astounds me some days but as much as I'd love to spar with you, I've got actual work that needs to be done." Lindsay leaned in and kissed Abby's cheek.
"I'll give my boss a call. A/C is working again so whenever you get tired of putting up with him the apartment is fit." Abby gave Lindsay a squeeze and whispered a thank you into her ear before Lindsay nudged past Stuart. He shook his head at her and looked at Abby.
"Well I'd say she's warming up to me." He teased.
"How are things with your mom?" Abby asked curiously.
"She's fine but she's going to drop something off at my place though. My dad's being a headcase and she wants to make sure I've got a copy of the beach house since I left the other one there." Stuart waved it off before putting his arm over her shoulders.
"So they've all finally gotten here for the big wedding huh?" They started walking down the boardwalk and Stuart huffed.
"Not yet. My parents are here and so is Junior's fiancee, Katie but my brothers haven't actually gotten here yet." Stuart said with a shrug.
"How much do you have to actually do for this wedding?" Abby asked knowing that Stuart hadn't talked much about it.
"Well I'm the best man-" Abby hit his chest.
"You didn't tell me that! That's a big deal." She laughed.
"I've been trying to get out of it. It makes more sense for Russ to be his best man but they've decided to torture me with the task. Russ said he'd take care of the bachelor party so the only real task I have to do is say a speech and make sure the rings are in the right place." Stuart said like it was no big deal and Abby patted his chest as they walked.
"I'm sure it you'll do great and look amazing doing it." She ran her hand down his chest making him laugh.
"Well if you haven't gotten sick of me by then you'll get to see. I mean I need a date right?" Abby smiled at him.
"You want me to be your date for your brothers wedding?" She questioned.
"Well I was going to ask Lyle but I'm afraid he'd try to start rapping on the mic so-" Abby shook her head at the image in her head.
"Hell yeah I want you to be my date. Did you really think I would want to go alone?" Stuart asked baffled that Abby even thought he wouldn't ask her.
"I wasn't sure, I mean I didn't plan on meeting your mom today. I just thought you would want to do that own your own." Stuart smiled at her before kissing her cheek.
"You just told off a guy in a bar all while making me look pretty awesome. Maybe having some extra kick at my side will be good for me." Abby leaned her head to the side to kiss Stuart.
"I'll go with you to the wedding but I'd like to at least have lunch with your mom before the actual wedding. I seriously don't want to go from almost naked to formal attire." Abby leaned her head on Stuart's shoulder making him sigh.
"She already said she want's to have lunch with you so I'll make something happen." Abby smiled to herself. The money she'll be making with Lindsay should make taking days off easier. At least that's what she hoped for. She would love more days like this with Stuart.
"What was Lindsay doing out here? She's not still keeping tabs on me is she?" Stuart asked with a laugh but Abby nodded her head. He took notice instantly.
"Is something wrong?" He pressed stopping and turning towards her. Abby put both her hands on the front of Stuart's chest and let out a sigh.
"No actually I took your advice...I took the modeling gig." Stuart's eyebrows went up.
"Oh yeah? That's good news right? I mean I know you were pretty against it before." Stuart understood why Abby was hesitant about the job and was curious as to why she decided to take it but he didn't want to pry.
"Yeah the money will help with school and such. I won't have to work as many hours so that's a plus. I think maybe you give me that little bit of an extra push too, you know?" Stuart smiled.
"I don't know how I do that. I mean you seem pretty tough on your own." He laughed at the thought of him somehow pushing Abby to do anything. She's so strong willed and independent, sometimes he worried she'd get bored of him.
"Something about the way you treat me. I mean I've had at least three jobs for awhile now and no one has ever really made me feel like I was actually doing something with my life like you have. It's always just been dancing to me but you make me feel more important. I like that feeling. I like the way you look at me, I like the way you make me feel about myself and what I do. Just knowing you think I'm pretty tough gives me some extra assurance." Stuart put his hands on Abby's neck and leaned his forehead against hers.
"I worry sometimes that you'll get tired of me but then you go and say shit like that to me." He kisses her this time and Abby feels him pulling her flush against him. She likes when Stuart gets a bit more forceful.
"Someone's feeling adventurous." Abby mumbled after Stuart nibbled on her bottom lip.
"You bring that out in me I guess." Stuart pulled Abby as close as he could get her and she glanced over his shoulder.
"So since I'm facing some of my fears today maybe you'd like to do the same?" Abby tested making Stuart laugh.
"I never said I was afraid of public sex-" Abby laughed cutting him off and turning his head towards what she was referring to. Stuart's eyes got a bit wider under his glasses and he pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Seriously? You won't give up on the Ferris Wheel? I think I'd rather do the public sex." Stuart frowned as Abby squeezed his hands.
"Hey you said sometimes you have to face your fears. Let me replace a really bad experience with a much better one. I promise, I'll be gentle." Abby whispered into Stuart's ear licking his earlobe. Stuart bit his lip really not wanting to go on the Ferris Wheel but she wanted him to feel like he was safe with her.
"I won't make you. We can just walk around some or hang out at the beach. I just kind of wanted to give you something you gave me." Abby rubbed Stuart's back. He looked over at her and nodded his head.
"If I puke, you can't judge me." He warned making her smile.
"You won't puke." She took his hand and led him to the Ferris Wheel. There wasn't a line which was nice. Any longer and Stuart might try and take off. He fidgeted in the seat and tried to keep his breathing steady.
"It's okay. You're going to be fine." Abby held onto his hand and could feel his hands shaking, knee bouncing up and down. He closed his eyes and jumped when it started to move.
"I think I might puke...or pass out. Does it count if I pass out? I really think I'm going to pass out. Jesus why is this so high up?! This should be illegal." Stuart was freaking out and struggling to catch his breath when Abby grabbed his face.
"Look at me! You're okay, you're with me. Just be right here with me okay?" Abby held his eye contact and she could tell he was scared but she could also tell he felt ashamed that she saw him this terrified. Abby stroked her hands down his neck and he let out a heavy breath on her face before she pulled his lips to hers hard. Stuart put his hand on her arm surprised but kissed back. The kiss wasn't like any of their other kisses. Abby wanted him to be okay, she wanted him to get lost with her like she did with him. She hooked her leg over his lap and pull him flush against her as she ran her tongue over his bottom lip. Stuart responded with a groan and met her tongue halfway. Stuart pushed Abby's body to the side of the bucket they were sitting in and Abby chuckled against his lips. When they finally came to a stop, Stuart looked dazed.
"Wow...that was...I could do that again." He chuckled smugly.
"You heard the man, one more time please!" Abby said looking at the man who'd let them on. He rolled his eyes and hit the button for Stuart and Abby to take one more ride. The spent the rest of their day together, unable to keep their hands off of one another. It made things really interesting when they were on the beach and had some boardwalk security tell them to get a room. They'd tried to focus on some games but it was no use. Stuart could barely throw a baseball without Abby smacking his ass to distract him.
When the rain finally showed up, the two ran to the car for cover. They both shook off and laughed at one another. Mostly Abby laughing at Stuart who slipped and fell on the way to the car but he was a good sport about it.
"You were just going to leave me there to die! You're the worst." Stuart took his glasses off and put them in the center console.
"It's not my fault you're clumsy." Abby teased making Stuart's mouth gape open.
"I'm clumsy?! Wow now I know you got too much sun today. If the queen of clumsy thinks I'm the one who can't stay on their feet-" Abby hit his chest before he could finish.
"I was going to get you food but now I've changed my mind." She started up the car and Stuart leaned over the console. Abby kept her hands on the wheel and tried not to smirk as he kissed at her neck.
"I'm sorry...if you get me some nuggets, we can go back to my place and I'll rub your feet. Sound good?" Stuart kissed Abby's shoulder as she drove. She shook him off and rolled her eyes.
"You have a serious problem with nuggets. You had nuggets for lunch." Abby said as she drove and Stuart sat back in his seat.
"I love chicken nuggets. Don't be jealous." Stuart teased. Abby pulled up to the McDonald's and Stuart kissed her before running to the doors. She gave him her order and he practically skipped inside. She laughed to herself watching how he carried himself. He was a real goofball when he wasn't worried about getting the job at Google or his dad calling. He was light and fun and made Abby feel like she could actually act her age instead of worrying about everything in her life that needed order. She watched him come out defeated with no food.
"What's wrong?" Abby rolled her window down.
"They didn't have nuggets. I only wanted nuggets." He said completely disregarding the entire order.
"Are you really that strung out about nuggets?" She questioned seeing his frown was serious. She shook her head at him and rolled her eyes.
"Oh my god, get in the car, I'll drive you to another one." She said rolling up her window as Stuart ran around and got into the passenger seat.
"Seriously? Is this what having a girlfriend is about because this is awesome." He asked pulling out his phone. Abby pulled out of the parking lot and headed down a few blocks to the other McDonald's that was a 24/7 drive thru.
"I feel like an enabler right now. You have a chicken nugget addiction that should be addressed." Abby teased. Stuart took out his phone and started recording an Instagram video while Abby placed their order and drove around to pick it up. She actually paid this time out of pocket and Stuart smiled as he took the bags of food from her.
"Let it be known people of Instagram that Abby Clark is the best girlfriend around." Abby looked over at Stuart and saw he was recording a video.
"Let it be known people of Instagram that Stuart Twombly is a closet fatty." She said as he ended the video and posted it to his Instagram.
"Seriously thought...thank you. For everything, for meeting my mom even though it didn't' go like you expected, for spending the day with me and helping me face a fewer of mine. Today was awesome." Stuart leaned over and Abby met him halfway.
"I'd like to spend more days with you like this...maybe not meeting your mom half naked-" Stuart shook his head.
"I'm not opposed to starting our morning's half naked." Stuart cut her off and Abby smirked.
"Maybe next time you'll be the half naked one." She suggested and Stuart's eyebrows went up.
"If you're lucky." Stuart kissed Abby again and she put her hand on his cheek. Someone interrupted by clearing their throat and Abby looked back at the guy in the McDonald's window who was waiting for them to drive on. She laughed giving him a wave of apology before driving out of the line.
Stuart kept his word when they got back to his apartment. They ate their dinner and each took a hot shower before settling on the couch so Stuart could rub Abby's feet while they watched a movie. Abby had pulled Stuart away from her feet and massaged his scalp until he passed out on her chest and that's how she feel asleep. Holding onto this guy that she didn't plan to meet, didn't plan to even like but was quickly falling much faster than she'd ever fallen for someone ever. It was a rush and she didn't know if it was fear or excitement that outweighed it all but she smiled down at his relaxed face as he slept on top of her. Thing's were going to change with the new job. They would have all the time in the world to see where these feeling's led and Abby was actually excited about thinking further than just the summer with Stuart.
