Now do you really think I'd let this happen so easily, Mr horny pants Carter has a lot to make up for!

Please read and review!

Moments later

"Carter No". she murmurs

He continues to kiss her this time feeling for the buttons on her shirt.

"No Carter"

"No!" She pushes him away firmly and stands up. "I think you should leave" She was breathing heavily and her voice was shaking. She ran her fingers through her hair and tried to straighten her shirt.

Carter stares up at her "I..I'm sorry"

She could feel herself shaking she couldn't believe this was happening or what could have happened and that she had allowed it to get this far.

"Look I'll go" he said rising from the sofa. Shit, what had he done, he shouldn't have come here.

Abby was agitated, tense and she could feel the tears pricking the backs of her eyes. She couldn't believe how foolish she was. How she nearly let him close again, nearly let him hurt her..

She watched him pick up his coat and head for the door, the anger and bitterness rising in her.

"What was this Carter?" she spat at his back "what you were hoping for hey? A quick screw to make all you problems disappear?"

He turns to face her standing in the open doorway.

"No,I, I, I don't know"

"How dare you do this." she stutters trying to control the anger growing inside her. "You come in here in the middle of the night expecting to pick up where you left off, well it doesn't work that way John."

Her voiced was controlled as she fought to hold back the emotion that threatened to spill over. She wanted to hold back and say nothing more, for him just to leave but the hurt and the pain of rejection that she had buried so deeply overwhelms her.

"You don't want me Carter, you're just lonely and horny and feeling sorry for yourself".

He stared at her stunned.

"Abby.."

"No, you listen to me" she said pointing at him. The pain of losing him and the emotional stress of the last two weeks with her brother come to a head and she can barely control herself.

"You disappear to Africa without a frigging word and send me a crappy letter that gets read by the whole ER. Then a few months later you turn up back here with you're pregnant girlfriend wanting to be friends. And even though you hurt me I was fine with that, really I was. I moved on, got my life together and now you turn up here wanting an easy lay from poor vulnerable Abby. Well fuck you Carter!"

She tried to suppress a sob. She paused breathing heavily staring at him defiantly as the tears finally spilled over.

"Abby..." he moved towards her wanting to hold her, console her

"Get out!" she yelled.

He stopped and held her gaze a moment longer then he turned and left.

Abby ran over to the door and slammed it behind him. The tears were streaming down her face as she leant on the door and slowly slid down to the floor as her emotions engulfed her.
