Chapter 3. Not sure where I'm going with this, but hey what else is new? ;) Oh and its short (surprise!)



After dragging themselves somewhat reluctantly from bed together, Carter and Abby were sitting in the kitchen. Abby was flicking through a discarded magazine and humming some forgotten tune, while Carter was absentmidly stirring his coffee, occasionally glancing at the women opposite him. He would have been quite happy to sit in silence just watching her but soon broke the comfortable silence.

"What time are you of at today?"

She looked up at him, awoken from her own thoughts, eyebrows raised.

"Hmm?"

"What time are you of at?" he repeated "Because I've got the day of and I was thinking that, well, if you wanted."

"Carter you're stuttering."



Abby was looking at him with mild amusement on her face, wondering what he was getting so uncomfortable about.

"Well, I've got the day of and wondered do you want me to pick you up after work and we can, you know, go to dinner or something?"

"Like a date?"

Carter looked at Abby alarmed at the last word she had spoken. He was expecting to see her face clouded with worry and doubt but instead saw her smiling.

"Sure, I'm of at four."

"Well, I could pick you up and drop you make yourself beautiful.."

Carter seeing the mock glare on Abby's face continued sweetly.

"Even more beautiful than you are already looking right now."

"That's better."

Carter laughed at the satisfied look on Abby's face.

"Ok then I'll pick you up at 6:00."

"At Luka's."

Abby reminded him but seeing the uncomfortable look on his face quickly changes the subject.

"Well I'd better get to work or Weaver will kill me."

With one last gulp she finishes her coffee and grins at Carter. He grins back at her.

"Well, I'm going back to bed, although I'm sure it won't be half as fun now that you're not there."

Abby chuckled and shakes her head at him.

"I'm going.'

"See you."

"Bye."

Abby leaves the room and Carter instantly misses her company, the room suddenly becoming ten times bigger. His bed doesn't seem as appealing now.

"Abby, Abby, wait up, do you need a lift to work?"





Ok sorry that all my chapters are so short. I promise to try harder in future! Thank you for reviewing!!
