Chapter 8 – The Couch (Rated M)

Jake sat on the doorstep reading a book. He looked up and saw Abby walking from a distance.

"Hey!" Jake got up and picked up his rucksack.

"Hi" Abby replied climbing up the steps to her door and unlocks it.

"Haven't you forgotten something?"

"Huh? What?" She turned to him and Jake leaned over to kiss her. "Oh that…"

"You really are having a bad day!"

"Yup"

Abby is seriously not in the mood for company. All she wants is to chill out at home in peace maybe a nice soak in a hot bath hoping to wash away all her troubles. She opened her post box in the lobby, grabbed her mail and looked at them.

"Junk, bill, junk"

"I've got to work night shift tonight"

"Ok" Abby replied as she headed to her apartment door. She bends over to get the newspaper left on the floor. Jake came up from behind and grabbed her hips.

"Oh!" Abby laughed in surprise.

She straightens herself up with her back to him. He pulled away her beautiful long hair and caressed her neck with kisses.

"Mmm" She moaned.

He moved his hand from her hip, unbuttoned her shirt and slipped inside to touch her soft skin. Abby placed her hand on Jakes thigh then slid it over to feel his growing arousal. She unlocked the door and entered her home. Abby turned to face Jake, rose up on her toes to kiss him and kicked the door shut. As she stepped backwards, Abby tugged his coat and pulled him down with her on to the sofa. Jake is positioned on top of her. They are kissing passionately. Abby reached down to unzip Jake's trousers then slipped her hand in to play with him.

"Oh!" Jake moaned.

She unzipped her pants and tried to wiggle out of them and her panties off, underneath him. Abby brushed her soft kisses down his neck and whispered in his ear "I want you"

She knew sex would relieve her tension. Jake stopped to look at her. He pulled out a condom from his pocket, quickly rolled it on his arousal and responded to Abby by spreading open her legs for him to mould into her.

"Oh!" Abby gasped as Jake entered in her. He started pumping hard thrusts into her with his well-endowed arousal. Abby griped on to her sofa arm with both hands over her head. Moaning out loud with his rhythm. She is clenching her teeth, putting up with his stamina.

Jake is quite rough and straight forward especially being a young guy; he has a lot to learn…

Unlike Carter, he knows how to make love… with Jake, its just sex…


The early morning heavy rain drummed on the bedroom window. On the bed, Abby laid with one arm over her head, tucked under the pillow, chewing at her bottom lip, staring at the leak stains on the ceiling. Thinking about what consequences she may have to face about her situation with Jake and Carter. She had spent the whole night alone, Jake left shortly after their session on the couch, he got a called in to cover for night shift. Abby sighed when she closed her eyes after turning over. Trying to clear her mind on the recollection of what happened the other night with Carter. The guilt has really got to her. She opened her eyes wide in surprised when the phone rang and leaned over to the bedside to reach for it.

"Hello" Abby answered.

"Hi, you sleep well?"

"Not really"

"Oh? Still cranky eh?" Jake asked chuckling away "Anyway I need to talk to you, can we meet up when you finish work?"

"No, I have other plans" Abby got out of bed and walked to her wardrobe. She placed her phone on her shoulder wedging it with her ear and pulled out a top.

"Oh right, I guess you're meeting Carter again then?" Jake snapped

"No" she snapped back "If you must know I'm meeting Susan ok? I've gotta go and get ready for work" She walked to her bedside "Bye!" Slammed the phone down. Abby grunted in sheer frustration "Men!"

Abby walked quickly down the steps through the rain after her ride on the EL. She spotted Neela stood outside JumboMart looking bewildered.

"Hey" Abby greeted

"Morning" Neela replied in her British accent.

"Erm… you coming in for coffee?" Abby pointed at door

"I suppose" Neela replied unenthusiastically

Abby opened the door, cocked her head to one side to let Neela in first and walked to the nearby queue at the coffee bar.

"What's bothering you?" Abby asked, nudging Neela waking her from her daydream.

"Uh-huh" Neela shook her head, pursed her quivering lips as she was close to tears. "Living with bloody Ray Barnett!"

"Ah!" Abby nodded sympathetically "I did say you were nuts moving in with the guy"

"I hardly get any sleep!" Neela sobbed "He's always got his bloody rock band practice at all hours, they all got keys to get in and they even come in when Ray's not there"

"What? So much for privacy!"

"I can't take it anymore!"

Abby puts her hand her coat pocket, pulled out a tissue from a little handy pack and gave her it. "Here…"

"How am I going to concentrate on my job with no sleep? I'm gonna kill a patient at this rate" said Neela blubbering with her bottom lip sticking out.

"Hey… shush" Abby placed her arm round Neela giving her a hug. "I help you find you some place elsewhere"

"Morning, how about the pleasure of Dr Ray Barnett buying you two beautiful ladies some coffee?" the rocker asked, coming from behind, pouting his lips trying to give them a sexy look…

Abby and Neela both sneered at Ray

"What?" Ray giving his innocent look, chewing his gum "What did I do?"
