Chapter 7: Complications
"I…can't believe…I decided to run…to the…damn…airport…" Abby breathed, jogging to the airport. Her phone goes off, but she doesn't hear it on account of the beating her head.
She finally makes it, & literally falls to the ground, coughing. After 5-10 minutes, she slowly gets up & drags herself to the airport doors.
She walks back to where she left her dad, but there was no sign of Mr. Lincoln or Cree. Abby cursed under her breath & started walking around, thinking where she could find them.
Her phone goes off once again, but this Abby hears it. She answers it, still a little out of breath. "Hello?"
"Abigail Lincoln, where the heck were you?" her father's VERY angry voice yelled into her ear.
Abby pulls it away, rubbing her ear. "Sorry dad, I lost track of time."
"You were gone for a hour! Me & your sister finally got tired of waiting & went home. I was ready to call the damn police!"
Abby knew that there was no way she could talk calmly to her father when he was like this, so she took a deep breath. "OK, daddy. Can you come get me?"
"I'll be there in 10 minutes. Wait outside & don't move!" he hangs up the phone, hard.
Abby sighs, hanging up her own phone. "Great, now dad's pist." She groans, walking toward the front of the airport.
Meanwhile, Kuki is happily getting her hair cut. "Dear, your hair is so beautiful!" the hairdresser gussed.
"Thank you, but I would like to get it cut." Kuki reminded her for, what seemed, the millionith time.
"Of course, but your hair is so beautiful. Wish my hair was that gorgeous!" She begins cutting again.
Kuki rolls her eyes & goes back to her magazine. She can't concentrate on it, though, with so much stuff going on in her head.
She hears the bell, indicating that someone entered the salon. The front person welcomed the person. "Welcome to Hair Today Gone Tomorrow! Do you have an appointment?"
"Yeah I do."
"Come this way." The woman ushered the customer to a chair. "And where would you like to wait?"
"I can wait out here." Kuki instantly recognized the voice & dropped her magazine. It was Wally. She felt her heart contract at the sight of him. Now she understood why she felt this way.
'Wait, why is he here?' she thinks, then gets a bad feeling in her stomach. She slowly turns to the first voice & sees that it is, indeed, Caitlyn.
Kuki glared at her. She took in her features; from her multi-colored hair to her combat boots, she just screamed 'I'm so punk rocker!'
Kuki instantly hated her, but then felt bad about it. It wasn't Caitlyn's that she was going out with the boy Kuki has liked, even loved, since they first meet. But still, Kuki hated her nonetheless.
"Dear, your hair is more stunning than before! You are my greatest masterpiece!" the hairdresser squealed, causing everyone, including Wally to look at Kuki's hair.
Wally felt his heart jump out of his chest when he saw Kuki. Her hair was shorter now, but still striking. 'As always.' a voice in the back of his head spoke up.
Wally shook his head, but he didn't stop staring at Kuki as she looked at herself in the mirror. But she didn't seem conceited. She looked…well, like Kuki. She just seemed too perfect to be true.
While as these thoughts were running through Wally's head, Caitlyn was watching with interest. She looked at Wally staring at Kuki. She had noticed Kuki staring at Wally a few moments earlier. She narrowed her eyes & thought 'I don't like this. Not at all."
Even though her hair was still being done & even though she knew it would look tacky if she left now, she jumped off her chair, much to the dismay of the hairdresser doing her hair. "Wait, I'm not done yet!"
Wally ceased staring at Kuki & watched as Caitlyn stomped over, hair half-streaked. He stood up. "What's wrong?"
Caitlyn opened her mouth to say something, then abruptly shut it. She seethed in silence as she walked over to the front, paid & walked out.
Wally watched all this & felt horrible. He wasn't sure, but he did. "Caitlyn, wait!" he ran out after her, much to Kuki's dismay.
She had seen him staring at her. Heck, everyone else was. But she had also seen Caitlyn watch Wally watching her & felt Caitlyn's wrath. 'Don't want to get on her bad side…" she thought, sarcastically.
"…tell Philippe!" Kuki came back down to Earth when she heard those 2 words. She looked up to see her hairdresser going on about something.
"Um…miss? Can I go now?" Kuki asks, shyly.
The woman stopped talking & laughed. "Of course, darling. Go show the world my fabulous creation!"
Kuki chuckled softly & got off the chair. She paid & went outside, looking for Wally out of curiosity. After not finding him, she groaned. "Yeah, like he'd wait around for me." She let her head hang & began walking home.
Abby was in the car with her dad & could taste the tension. She cleared her throat. "Um…daddy? How is Cree?"
"You would've known if you were there." was all he said.
Abby shut up immediately & looked out the window. Her mind began to wander & it wandered to a certain British boy.
She blushed, even though no one could read her thoughts. She watched trees pass by, reminding her of the tree house, reminding her of Nigel.
Abby shook her head, trying to get it out. She closed her eyes & saw Nigel smiling at her. "Good plan, Number Five!" she remembered him saying after one particularly hard mission. She smiled, then noticed she was softly crying.
Mr. Lincoln looked over at his daughter & was shocked to find that she was crying, but also smiling. "Abby, are you all right?"
Abby opened her eyes & wiped away the tears. "Yeah, something in my eye." She wiped her eye to prove her point.
"OK…" Mr. Lincoln went back to driving.
Abby smiled at her dad, then stared out the window once again. She finally gave into the images of Nigel & felt as if she was cloud 9 the rest of the trip home.
Major romance! Especially between Kuki & Wally! Sort of sickening, though… Oh well, romance is one of the main genres in this story. I'll try to go away from romance & more to the action-adventure & humor parts of the story…I said try… TRY is the key word…
