Abby sat at the table in the lounge. She slowly wrote out her name. Abby Lockhart-Kovac. Abby Kovac. Dr. and Mrs. Luka Kovac. Abby giggled softly. She felt like a sixteen-year-old fixated on their latest crush. She hadn't been this giddy when she got engaged with Richard.
"Richard." She sighed leaning back in her chair. Should she tell her ex? Abby leaned back further in her chair and it tipped back. Abby fell to the ground. "Shit." She sat up making sure someone was in the lounge. She laughed at her self. Smooth one, Abby.
"I like women in that position." Abby jumped slightly to see Dave standing in the doorway. She got up from her knees.
"Shut up, Malucci." He chuckled softly handing Abby five red roses. Abby choked her eyebrow, "Ah...I'm flattered Dave but-"
"They're not from me." Dave said, "They were left at the admit desk."
"Oh. Thanks." Abby smiled taking the roses. She inhaled the fragrant smell of the gorgeous scarlet roses. "Wasn't there a card with them?"
"Nope." Dave said fixing his stethoscope. "Later, Lockhart."
"Yeah, bye." Abby smiled sitting down. She loved roses. She loved the way they looked, the way they smell, just the general meaning of roses. She giggled softly as Luka walked in.
"Ooh look at those." He said kissing the top of her head, "Secret admirer?"
"These aren't from you?" Abby asked.
"Um...." Luka smiled "Can I say yes now?"
"No." Abby smiled getting a large cup for the roses. "I wonder who They're from."
"Like I said...A secret admirer." Abby rolled her eyes as she put the flowers in the water. She turned around and smiled at Luka.
"Maybe, but if it was. He'd have my fiancee to go through.' Abby smiled shyly putting her arms around his waist, "and my fiancé is a big muscular man. He has these amazing arms that could snap my secret admirer like a twig." Luka chuckled.
"You have another fiancee that's not me?" Luka asked. Abby slapped him playfully.
"Well, yes...I do think he's a better kisser though."
"We'll see about that." Luka leaned down, softly touching Abby's cheek and kissed her. She opened her mouth slightly so he could slip his tongue in. Abby's was addicted to his kisses. They were like some drug. Their tongues danced together as Lily walked in. She cleared her throat and the two lovebirds pulled away.
"Hi Lily." Abby smiled fixing her lipstick.
"Hi. You have a visitor, Abby." She said. Abby raised her eyebrow.
"A visitor?"
"At the admit desk." Lily said, "and Dr. Kovac the films came back on your patient in five."
"All right." Luka smiled kissing Abby's cheek, "I'll see you on my break."
"All right." Abby smiled watching Luka's rear as he walked out of the room. She checked her make up before she walked out into the hallway. Visitor? Who could be here visi- "Richard." Abby crossed her arms as she saw her ex-husband standing at the admit desk. He turned around and smiled at her.
"Hey Abby." He said.
"What do you want, Richard?" She asked. He chuckled.
"Did you get my roses?" Abby pierced her lips.
"Those were from you?" Richard nodded.
"I remembered that you loved red roses." He said, "So, I thought I'd give you a few."
"Why? You never did that when we were married." Abby said, "In fact, I seem to remember you giving your whore a dozen roses instead of me. I believe that was on my birthday too."
"Come on, Abby." Richard said, "aren't you going to say thank you?"
"Thank you for screwing my life over." Abby turned around and went back into the lounge. Richard sighed and followed her.
"That's in the past." He said. Abby laughed out of anger.
"In the past?? Oh god, Richard...I can't even express what I'm feeling right now." Abby ran her hand through her hair. Richard reached for her hand but she recoiled. "What do you think you're doing?"
"I miss you Abby." Her jaw dropped.
"What?" She snapped.
"I miss you." He repeated, "I want to try it again."
"You've got to be kidding me." Abby laughed, "Where's Alexis? Or are you trying to get me in a three some?"
"I left her...for you." Abby shook her head.
"News flash, Richard, I'm over you. I've been over you for a long time." Abby said, "I'm moving on with my life. In fact, I'm engaged." There. I told him. In your face, Richard!!! Richard stared at her.
"What?"
"Luka Kovac. I'm engaged to Luka Kovac." Abby said crossing her arms, "He's a doctor here. He's extremely nice and he understands me, which is something you never had a grasp on."
"I can't believe you Abby." He grabbed her hand. Abby pulled away, looking at him with wide eyes.
"You've been drinking." Abby stated finally smelling the liquor on his breath.
"And you know lots about that don't you? My little drunken-" Abby slapped him.
"Leave, Richard. I never want to see you again." Richard stared at her gritting his teeth.
"Don't. Ever. Touch me again." Richard spat.
"If you don't leave, I'll have to." Abby said starting to get a little scared. "I just want you gone, Richard. That's all. Out of my life. Is that too much to ask for?"
"Yes Abby! I love you." Richard leaned down and tried to kiss her. Abby jumped back, but her grabbed her and kissed her. The smell of the liquor turned Abby's stomach. She put her hands on his chest and pushed him away.
"What the fuck, Richard!?" She wiped her mouth. Luka walked into the lounge and stared at them.
"Abby?" Richard turned around.
"Get out of here. This doesn't concern you." Richard said.
"Richard, please." Abby shushed him. Luka narrowed his eyes. Richard. Abby's ex-husband.
"Is there a problem, Abby?" Luka asked walking into the room.
"No." Richard said."
"Abby?" She bit her lip looking at Luka.
"Yes." Luka looked at Richard, narrowing his eyes. "Richard, meet Luka."
"Your fiance." He said quietly.
"Yes her fiance and also the one who will physically remove you from this hospital." Luka said. Richard turned back to Abby.
"Come on, Abby. Forget him." Richard said.
"You've been drinking. You don't; know what you're saying." Abby said. "Let's not forget the fact that I hate you." Richard grabbed her shoulder hard. "Ow."
"You love me, Abby, god damn-" Luka grabbed Richard and threw him against the lockers.
"Don't ever touch her again." Luka spat, "I suggest you leave now."
"You can't make me." Richard said pushing Luka away, but Luka stood his ground and didn't let go of the man. "Let go of me." Luka grabbed his collar and dragged him out of the lounge. Abby bit her lip, running her hand through her chocolate locks. Luka pulled Richard outside and tossed him.
"I never want to see you around here. If I do, you'll be paying seriously. Do you understand?" Luka gritted his teeth. Richard nodded.
"O-Okay." He said backing up.
"Good." Luka turned on his heals and reentered the hospital he walked into the lounge to find Abby on the couch crying softly. "Sweetheart?"
"I t-told you he w-was a jerk." She stuttered. Luka sighed and sat next to her. Abby leaned into him as he wrapped his arms around her.
"Did he hurt you?" Luka asked full of concern.
"I don't want to talk about it right now, okay?" Abby said wiping her eyes.
"All right, Darling. All right." Luka soothed her. Abby snuggled into him.
"Promise me, you'll never be like that." She said quietly.
"I promise with all my heart that I'll never treat you bad." Luka said, "You're my world, Abby and when you hurt, I hurt. I love you too much to ever touch you." Abby smiled slightly.
"I love you too." She said, "Can we start wedding planning soon?" Luka smiled kissing the top of her head.
"Of course. We can start anytime you want."
"Good."
