"Well gee John, all I really wanted to hear was a 'I love you too'" this
time, I turn and walk away.
"Abby?"
I keep walking. He's going to have to try harder than that...and I keep walking..and I stop. turn around.
The site I see is unexpected.
Carter POV
I've now walked up to Abby. I stand about 2 feet away from her. She's so beautiful. Why did I ever leave her? How can I leave her again? That's easy.I need to get Luka.
"Hey" I say almost inaudible.
She looks at me. I can see the hurt and pain in her beautiful eyes. All I want to do is hold her and kiss her and tell her everything is going to be all right. But who really knows? I have to get Luka. But I love Abby.I've loved Abby for the longest time. I love everything about her. The way her hair is messily thrown on top of her head, the way she says my name, the way she smells, the way she kisses.I love her.
"I love you too Abby" I say pulling her into a nice warm hug.
This hug was amazing. I know I've hugged her a million and one times but this felt different. I can tell shes crying. I can't hurt her again. But I have to go.
She pulls away and looks up at me. We stare into each others eyes for what seemed like forever.but in all reality was probably only 10 seconds. I lean down and kiss her lightly on the lips. She kisses back.
I forgot that we were in the middle of public.but did I care? No. I was kissing the girl I love.
I pull away.
"Abby, I love you, and I'm not going to give up on us. Everything is just at the wrong time. I have to go get Luka. I owe this to him. But when I get back, if you want, I want to start all over with us."
I look down at her. She's smiling and crying.
"You promise me you will come back?" she asks.
I put my arms around her waist.
"I promise"
"So when are you leaving?" She asks..not looking directly into my eyes.
"I haven't booked a flight yet."
"Can you leave tomorrow morning?" she asks blushing.
"If you promise you'll stay with me tonight?" I ask hoping she'll say yes. I just want to hold her in my arms all night long.
"Yes"
We headed back to my place, hand in hand, neither saying a word. I know she's not happy about me leaving but she knows I have to. I know she's upset about Luka too. I could tell by the look in her eye after she found out. He is after all her ex boyfriend.
That night we just held each other. It was so perfect, until morning came. My flight was at 8:45 a.m. I woke her up about 15 minutes before I had to leave.
She sat on my bed in one of my old shirts that was incredibly too big for her and some of my boxers.
"You can keep those until I get back" I say grinning at how adorable she looks.
"Planning on it actually" she smiled. She just sat there and watched me pack.I know she's dreading when I leave. I know I'm dreading to leave.
We were now in route to the airport. She was sitting on one side of the limo and me on the other and I look up at her.
I see tears running down her face.
"Abby come here" I whisper.
She crawled over and sat as close as she could to me. I lift her chin and kissed her lips very softly.
"John I'm going to miss you." She says hugging me. Her head lay on my shoulder. I know.
All I could think about on my way to the Congo was her. About how I had to get back safely. I promised her. I love her.
"Abby?"
I keep walking. He's going to have to try harder than that...and I keep walking..and I stop. turn around.
