~Previously:

She bit her bottom lip, and finally made up her mind... she whined to herself and grabbed her scarf once again. ~

Luka thanked the delivery guy, and payed him adding a tip. He set the food down on the kitchen table, and grabbed some silverware. He glanced up at the clock, Abby had gotten off work at least a half hour ago. He had to admit, he was afraid she wasn't going to show.

~*~

It was you, yeah, you
It's all because of you

~*~

"Coward, Wuss, wimp.." Abby muttered as she waited for a cab. She looked around her, noting the looks coming from the people on the street. "What? Am I bothering you?" She said loudly. She rolled her eyes, as they acted as if they hadn't heard her.

She shoved her freezing cold hands in her coat pockets and stomped her feet a little. "Your just giving in...to the dark side.." She said, trying to keep herself amused. "God...Abby your losing your mind." She muttered.

~*~

You are the reason
You are the reason I wake up every day
And sleep through the night

~*~

Luka closed the lid, and sprinkled the fish food in the tank. "There you go, dinner time." He said running his fingers through his hair. Once again he found himself anxiously glancing at the clock. She had to come, She was coming, Your always right.

~*~
You are the reason, the reason.

In the middle of the night,

I'm coming down cause I adore you...

~*~

"Thank you." Abby said promptly, handing over the money to her cab driver.
"No problem, You take care Ma'm." The cab driver said, glad to be taking her money, and seeing her off. She had complained to him the whole way about her completely rotten day. He made a mental note, that if he were to go to county he'd find a different nurse.

"Someone tell me why I'm doing this.." Abby whispered, as she put up her hand to knock on Luka's door. "Because he's gorgeous, stupid." A voice inside her head went off.

Abby exhaled slowly, and gave a few small wraps at the door.

~*~
I want to touch you..

I want to floor you..

~*~

Luka smiled, at the sound of his door. Yes, once again he was right... He knew her like a book. Whether she liked it or not. He opened the door, and leaned in the doorway, looking at her beautiful face. Even with her fading bruise, she still made his heart skip.

God, She hated that face, the I knew you'd do it, I'm right face. Abby rolled her eyes, "I didn't have anything worth eating in my house, and the heating isn't working, and its freezing. So... you going to let me in? Or should I have gone elsewhere?"

Luka grinned, and opened the door wider. "Dinner's already here, dig in." He said, closing the door.

Abby yawned, "Oh good, I'm starved." She replied, struggling to remove her coat.

Luka leaned over, and gently helped her with her coat, breathing in the scent of her hair. She smelled like heaven. He really had missed her.

"Thanks..." Abby said a little surprised, this was the Luka she had fallen in love with the first time. She pushed her thoughts aside, it was only an act of kindness. If that was the case, why'd she feel all tingly inside?

He pulled out a chair for her, and then walked over to the fridge. "I have gingerale, coke, and milk." He chuckled, "Which do you prefer? Or I can put a pot of coffee on..."

Abby shook her head, "Coke's fine...thanks" She said inhaling the scent of the delicious chinese. "How'd you know, I was craving this? Smells wonderful!" She exclaimed.

Luka just flashed her a smile, "I'm glad you like it.." He said pouring the contents of the can in her glass.

Abby once again felt the pitter patter of her heart lose control, the way he spoke, moved...God!

He took his place across from her, opening up the boxes of Chinese food. "Here you go.." He said sliding over her own little box, and keeping one for himself. "Now, tell me about your day, I can tell by looking at you...and seeing you earlier, it was the kind you'd like to forget about." He shoved a bite in his mouth, waiting for a reply.

"You know, you can tell when your going to have those days before you even leave the house. I swear, everything goes wrong there first." She said shoveling in the food.

Luka raised an eyebrow.

Abby caught his look, "I told you I was hungry." She said wiping her mouth with a napkin.

Luka just laughed, "I know what you mean, about knowing when your going to have an all around bad day." He said with a shrug.

"Yeah, Well...its not unlikely for me to have those days, as of late, I suppose." She said, refering to her face.

Luka just nodded.

"So...why did you... do all this?" Abby said, propping her elbows on the table.

"All what?"

Typical Luka, play dumb. "Inviting me over, dinner.." Abby said determined to get it out of him.

"Oh..this..." Luka smiled, "Well...I told you, I was bored."

"Liar."

Luka laughed, "To discuss the certain something you owe me.."

"Owe you?" Abby said surprised, "What are you talking about?"

"Yes, Well...since the day you broke my fish tank, the fish that lived aren't as happy, after their loss." Luka held back a laugh.

"Oh, Bull Luka!" Abby spat, "Your such a liar, Now if you don't tell me why you invited me over, I'm going to leave right now."

"Idle threats...You wouldn't leave." Luka said standing up and pouring himself another can of coke.

"Oh, you don't think so?"

"Abby, I predicted you would come here, and there's no way your leaving so fast without getting dessert." Luka said, his back still turned to her.

Abby bit her lip, He was one up on her again. She knew she shouldn't have come.

"So whats for dessert?" She said, changing the subject.

"It's a surprise.." He said with a winning smile, as he sat back down grabbing his food.

"I hate you."

"Good." Luka said, with a wicked grin.
