Chapter Two - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing
1pm - Abby's apartment
Abby stirred as she turned over to feel the sunlight filtering in through the blinds. She squinted at the warm sun shining on her pale face. It took a while for her to realise where she was, but then she felt a warm body next to her. Arms round her waist and legs intertwined. It was Carter. The one she loved. If only she could tell him how she felt. She did in a way last night, but not that he heard her, being asleep and all. She moved closer to him and kissed his cheek lightly. She leaned back and looked at his face, studying his every feature. His lips, his nose, his eyebrows, his cheeks, his everything.
As she watched him, he began to stir. She was secretly glad he was starting to wake up. There was so much she wanted to tell him, to show him, to do to him. His eyes flickered open, and a smile slowly spread across his face as she opened his eyes fully to see Abby smiling at him.
"Good Morning." He said as he leaned towards her for a kiss.
"Hey sleepy head."
"How long have you been awake?"
"Oh god hours!"
"Really?!"
"No not really. More like five minutes. But five very long minutes!"
He laughed and snuggled in closer to her to smell her, to feel her against him. It felt so good to wake up next to her. He had only imagined it before, and it hurt so much to think he could never feel it, but now, he was feeling it. And it was more than he ever imagined it would be. It was so much more.
"I'm going to take a shower."
"Okay."
"Wanna join me?!" She said flirtatiously, with her eyebrow raised.
"Really?!"
She nodded in conformation.
"Well in that case you try and stop me!"
She shrieked as he chased her into the bathroom as she threw off her baggy t-shirt and jumped in the shower. He stood outside the shower and watched her she wriggled about in the shower waiting for him. He looked down, realising that he was about to show the woman he loved, his real self. His body. What if it wasn't what she desired? The scars troubled him. He knew he couldn't hide them forever, but something made him believe he could.
"John? Are you coming in or what the waters cold without you in it."
"Yeah, just..give me a minute."
He turned around and sighed to himself. He wanted so much to let her see him, but it scared him half to death. Those scars, they were so ugly. He wouldn't be surprised if he repulsed her.
Abby realised he was cautious. She was nervous too, but she tried not to show it, this was the man she loved and being embarrassed should be out of the question. She turned off the shower and stepped out slowly. She stood in front of him, naked, but she didn't care. He looked up at her face. He looked ashamed, this hurt her, what was wrong?
"John? What's wrong? Is it.."
She looked down at herself and wrapped her arms around her body.
'Oh no' he thought, 'she thinks I don't find her attractive.'
"No! Abby no! It's not you. Not at all. You..you're the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Don't ever forget that. I mean it."
"Well what is it then?"
"It's nothing. It's just.." He slowly lifted his shirt to show a small part of his scar. "I don't want you to see my scars."
"John. You should know already, I don't care what your body looks like. Look at me! I'm standing here in front of you and I'm not ashamed! I'm a little cold, but that doesn't matter."
"I'm sorry Abby. It's just I don't want you to be..repulsed."
"You could never repulse me. If you were fat, ugly, short, anything. You should know that too."
She touched his chin lightly with her hand, and he lightly brushed his lips against hers.
"Okay then. If you're sure."
"I've never been more sure in my life."
He smiled at her. She really was the most amazing person he had ever met. She reached for the bottom of his shirt and slowly pulled it up over his head to reveal a well toned torso. She marvelled in his perfection, and watched him as he slowly slid off his boxer shorts. A small gasp escaped her mouth as she saw his large..package.
"Wow." She simply said.
He smiled, feeling embarrassed but secretly feeling quite big headed.
"I always knew there was more to you than meets the eye!"
They laughed a little and clambered into the shower quickly as Abby was getting colder by the second. They washed each other, their backs, their stomachs, their legs, their arms, their faces. He massaged her neck and shoulders as she rubbed his back with her arms wrapped around him behind her. She massaged shampoo into his scalp, herbal scents rose from his hair as she continued. This was the best shower either of them had ever experienced. He turned her round after giving her another massage and planted a kiss on her lips. It took her by surprise, but soon she sunk into it, feeling more and more relaxed as it carried on. She leant into him slowly, and he felt her smooth but toned breasts press against his upper chest. He tried hard not to let his arousal become apparent, but it was too hard. She felt it rise up and press hard against her leg, and a small smile spread across her face. He felt her smile, and dropped his head to cover up his embarrassment.
"What's the matter John?! Something up?" She asked sarcastically.
"No nothing. Well something, but nothing to worry about." He returned, giving her a spine tingling kiss again.
She sunk into him once more, forgetting about his arousal as hers rose for the first time. He didn't want to take things too fast, that's why he was embarrassed about his little conformation of excitement. He carried on kissing her as they stood in an embrace underneath the warm shower beating down on them. They wished they didn't have to stop ever, but the water began to get cooler, they could feel it, so grudgingly they got out the shower and dried each other off.
What to do now? Abby had some ideas. But did he feel the same? Maybe that was obvious already, but she didn't want to take his advances the wrong way.
"Drink?"
"Sure why not."
He followed her into the kitchen as she set about boiling the water. He stood leaning against the counter, just watching her. Just watching. That's what he loved to do sometimes. Just watch. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, and he knew he would never tire of it. He still wondered if she knew how beautiful she was, probably not. But it didn't hurt telling her one in a while. He told himself to remember to do that once in a while. He also wondered whether she would ever love him. If he would ever bring himself to say, knowing she wouldn't say it back. Maybe she could grow to love him. Just maybe.
"Here you go."
She handed him a cup of coffee and he took a small sip before placing it onto the counter. She continued to take little sips, as he began to watch her once more.
"What? Do I have something on my face?"
"You're so beautiful you know that?"
"Well no, but I guess you do!"
"Damn right I do."
"I think you should tell me more so I do know it." She said playfully.
"I plan to do that thank you."
She placed her half empty mug on the edge, and looked around her. What now?
"So..what shall we do today?"
"We?!" He asked, pretending to sound surprised,
"Yes John, WE."
"Well..I can think of a few things, but they can wait till later."
"What things?" She asked curiously.
"You'll just have to wait and see! There was one other thing I wanted to do today actually. That's if you're not busy."
"Well actually I am."
"You are?"
"Yeah I was planning to spend the day with a handsome doctor, you might know him. Goes by the name of John, John Carter. Ring any bells?!"
"Yeah I know him a little bit. I think a meeting could be arranged."
He walked over to her and kissed her again, the same passion was apparent, as apparent as it was during their first kiss. It felt like it would never leave.
"What did you have planned then?"
"Well, my apartment is looking kinda sad recently, I just wanted to have a look around, see if there were any furnishings or decoration I like. I'm kinda sick of having the same wallpaper for over six years. It's getting old!"
"I should think so too. I can't believe you've had that for so long!"
"Trust me, I have."
"Well we better get going then. We've only got a few hours till the mall closes."
They finished off their coffees and went to get dressed. Half an hour later they were in Carter's jeep on their way to the furnishings store.
Well there it is, the second chapter! Hope you enjoyed it! Please RnR guys I really appreciate your support! Abby ;)
