Chapter6 : A flat, a coffee and a date.

Abby went out of the car. Luka was in it.

"Come on. Come to see my new flat."

He went out. They went up the stairs, Abby turned the key inside the lock.

"I present you my new home!"

She was very excited. Nothing made her more happy.

"This flat is the symbol of your independance."

"You're right."

Luka looked around him. When he entered, in the left there was a big living-room and a kitchen with a bar to separate the both room. In front of him, a long corridor with two doors on the right. Abby led him to this doors and opened them.

"Here, it's Ryan bedroom. Then the other : the bathroom."

She said everything with a smile on her face. Luka had big eyes opened. This flat was more bigger than his flat. She led him to another room.

"And to finish...my bedroom..."

It was enlightened, there were a bed, a night table, a desk. They looked at each other.

" If you need.. to move.. I will help you." Luka said to escape from something.

Abby smiled, a little provocative.

"Are you ill-in-ease?"

"A little..."

She closed the door and went away in direction to the living room.

"Maybe...here...it's better, no?"

"Yes."

Abby smiled. They didn't say any words.

Susan and abby went out of the hospital.

" What did he do?"

"Nothing."

"What? No touch, no kiss?"

"Susan..."

"What?"

"He's my friend."

"Your ... friend..."

Susan pretended to think.

"Wait..no no no. No friends."

Abby stopped herself and looked at her friend.

"Why? I"m just... divorced..moreover not yet! I can't, it'll not good toward Ryan"

"Abby! I stop you now. Ryan loves Luka!"

"I know... but..."

"Not BUT! You must take a date with him."

"I can't... i don't know...how..."

"How? Don't you remember? (Seeing that Abby didn't answer and that she shrugged, she continued) Okay. Listen to me. You say to Luka : "Hey! What will you do tonight?" then he says : "oh.. nothing. Why?" and you say..."

"Okay okay I understand."

"Will you do it?"

"No."

"Will you do it?" Susan insisted more and more.

"I will."

"Good!"

She kissed her friend on her cheek.

"Great girl!"

Abby shook the head.

Luka entered in the rest of room. Abby turned the back to the door. Luka moved, silently, behind her.

"Hey."

She jumped.

"Oh God! You surprised me."

He smiled.

" Do you want a coffee?"

"Why not..."

" I pay it to you."

"Okay."

Abby was very embarrassed. They walked outside to the Doc Magoos. He was just close to her. She could smell his scent. Inside the restaurant. Luka paid the coffees and gave one to Abby. At the same time they said :

"What will you do..."

Abby continued:

"No you before."

"No, please.."

"Not. You."

"Okay..." He hesitated and said : " What will you do tonight?"

Abby smiled, very embarrased and confused.

"Nothing. Why?"

"Do you want to go out with me..?"

Like he knew the answer, he did a step.

"Yes!"

"Really?"

He was surprised. Abby knew that he didn't expecting to this answer.

"Yes."

He smiled happy.

"Good."

He went out, Abby splitted her hand in his hand and they walked in direction to the hospital.

Abby was in front of the mirror. She tried a first shirt, then another. She was wearing a black pants. She smiled and combed herself and made up herself. She looked at her, again, in the mirror and sighed not satisfied.

"No! no! and no!"

Someone knocked at the door. Abby looked at the alarm clock and sighed. It was 6pm. It wasn't Luka yet. She ran in the corridor :

"Ryan! It's daddy!"

"I don't want to go there."

Abby looked at the child, who was sitting on his bed with his bear.

"Ryan..Come on. I will take you tomorrow. But tonight..."

"I don't want to go there!"

Abby sighed and went to open the door.

"Richard."

"Abby. Wow. Where will you plan tonight?"

"It's not your business. Ryan doesn't want to go with you."

"Why?"

"I don't know."

"Okay. So don't obliged him. A next time."

"But...do you looked at me? I have a date."

"Canceled it."

"I can't."

"See you soon. Ryan?"

A little head appeared.

"Good night, son."

"Good night, dad..."

Abby closed the door. She turned in direction of Ryan.

"You're a monster! Go to the bed."

"It's too early!"

"Never mind!"

Abby went to her bedroom and closed the door, violently.

Ryan stayed in the corridor. Someone knocked at the door. He ran to open it.

"Hello, Luka!"

Abby appeared in the corridor and saw Luka knelt to kiss Ryan on the cheek.

"Hey boy! How are you?"

"Mom is angry?"

"Why?"

Abby arrived, answering :

"Because my son is here."

Suddenly, Ryan understood something.

"Oh... you want to be alone..."

Abby took him by the arm.

"Go to your bedroom."

"Yup, mom."

He ran. Abby turned toward Luka.

"Hi."

"Hi. If you don't stay..."

"I want to stay."

She smiled.

"Okay... so.. I must cook."

"Can I help you?"

"Of course."

They went to the kitchen. Abby took everything they needed.

"Pasta?"

"Why not."

"Tomatoes?"

"Yup."

Abby began to open the tomatoes box.

"Wait."

"What?"

He took Abby by the waist and pushed her, sweety to take her place.

"I will cook."

"Sure?"

"Sure."

Abby was sitting. Luka approached toward her with the plate.

"Madam is served."

"Oh thanks."

Abby ate.

"Oh god it's delicious..."

"Thanks."

He sat in front of her and began to eat.

"What did you plan... if we left?"

"Sincerely... I don't know." He answered.

"Luka?"

"Yup."

She looked at him in eyes then she stood up.

"Wait for me."

She disappeared and reappeared. She smiled, provocatively. She moved to him and took his head on her hand. She kissed him.

"Do you finish?"

"I'm not hungry, finally."

"Good. Come."

Abby led him on the sofa. They stayed, without any words. Their heart bounded very strong in their chest. Suddenly, Luka said :

"What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking that for a first date...it's..."

He kissed her.

"It's ..."

"Ssshhh". He whispered in her ear.

He strectched out her on the sofa, and kissed her again.
