A stand alone. Post Secrets and Lies.
Abbys POV.
The lights from the fire illuminate the huge room. The shadows bouncing and flickering of the walls and ceiling. The sharp crackling noises of the fire coincide with the fait beating of the rain hitting the window. Joining together to produce a soft monotonous melody.
I feel severely out of place in this huge house. It seems that the Carter family are not that into simplicity. This house is extremely grand. This rich coming from me dweller of a broom cupboard.
My insecurities are soon forgotten as I spot Carter, trying to make it through the door with two hot mugs of coffee and some biscuits. I help him over. He hands me my mug and we sit down.
"Glad you came, the couch was about to swallow me." I say breaking the silence.
He laughs softly and looks into his coffee, I do the same.
"Look, Carter.,"
I look at him he is still engrossed with his coffee.
"The reason I'm here, well, after the seminar today .."
He rolls his eyes.
"Well I just hope I'm not the one causing problems between you and Susan, because If I am."
"We broke up." He says this quite matter of factly but with a hint of sadness. He looks up finally meeting my gaze.
"Oh, I'm sorry," I stutter.
Silence.
"Why?" I ask
"Why what?"
"Why did you break up?"
He looks directly into my eyes and smiles, his own eyes sparkling.
"I think you know."
He immediately leans in and his lips press softly against my own. I smile into him and he smiles back. All thoughts of the seminar, coffee and our surroundings are quickly forgotten.
The End.
Only my second ever fic. Please read, review and enjoy.
