CHAPTER 16

I woke up the next morning feeling happier then I felt in a long while. Maybe it was because I was woken up by light kisses on my collarbone. Or maybe it was because my arms were around the most beautiful girl of existence. Maybe it was just because this moment was the most perfect moment I had ever experienced in my life.

I opened my eyes and found Abigail smiling up at me, "Hey."

I looked down at her, "Hey."

She crawled up and planted a lazy kiss on my lips. She rested her head right next to my ear and I turned so that I was looking at her and pulled the blankets further up so that she wouldn't get cold. Then I turned so that I wouldn't strain my neck and I would be able to holder closer to me.

I leaned in to kiss her again, "How long have you been up?"

"Just a few minutes, not long."

"Did you sleep well?"

She nodded her head, "I've never slept that well before, I'm still exhausted though."

I smiled, "Me too."

I leaned her to kiss her one more time but she pulled away quickly, one her face wore a worried expression, "Oh no, what about your family? We were supposed to be back last night."

"I'm sure that Alice saw us coming home a little later."

She closed her eyes and then buried her head into a pillow, "They know don't they?"

I sighed then kissed her ear gently, "They probably do, but it's okay. If they're mad I'll just tell them it was my fault."

"It takes two to tango Anthony."

I laughed, "Don't worry about it okay? I don't think that my family could ever get mad at you. But if they were worried about us, they would have called by now."

She nodded her head, "They won't kick me out?"

"Abigail, they would never want to kick you out. And I would never let them if they did."

"Are you sure?"

I smiled, "I'm positive, now lets get dressed and get something for you to eat."

She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me. We both got out of bed and got some clothes on. I still had my clothes here from our last visit, they were the same size that I was now, so I was able to change into a clean wardrobe. Abigail wore her jeans and one of my smaller t-shirts and one of my old sweaters.

Once we were both done and dressed I turned to her, "Lets just grab a bite to eat at a diner outside the forest."

"Won't it look odd that we don't have a car…"

"We'll just tell them that we walked."

She rolled her eyes, "You're just coming up with all sorts of plans today aren't you?"

I nodded my head, "Yep. Now lets get going." I quickly pulled her onto my back and before I started running, I made sure that Abigail was ready.

There was a little diner that I remembered passing a few times whenever we drove into town. It was on the outskirts, so it never was really crowded. I stopped running once we were about five minutes away from the diner, and I fell into a walk. It would be a little odd if we just appeared out of nowhere.

Abigail got off of my back saying that it would still be odd if we walked in like that, so we walked side by side. I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and kissed her on the cheek.

She smiled and we walked into the diner. Nobody paid us any attention except for the waitress who showed us to our seats and gave us our menus. Abigail knew what she wanted and ordered within a matter of minutes.

As I watched Abigail eat her breakfast, I realized that I had learned a lot about her. She didn't blush when she was embarrassed but rather didn't make eye contact and hid her face a little bit. Whenever she was bored she would either sigh or play with her fingers.

She had different smiles. There was one smile that she gave whenever she wanted something. There was one smile she gave when she wanted to be polite. There was a smile that she gave when she was nervous, and then there was one smile, my favorite one. I only saw it directed at me, and I wanted to keep it that way.

When she was thinking about something she would wrinkle her nose a bit, which I thought was the cutest thing ever. When she liked what she was eating, she would chew a few seconds longer, but if she didn't like it, she would swallow it as fast as possible as she possibly could without choking.

She didn't wear any jewelry, I don't even think that she owned any. When I asked her she said that it always got in her way. She wasn't afraid of making eye contact, unless she was embarrassed. She slept quietly, meaning that she didn't snore, or breathe loudly. She slept perfectly.

And it saddened me that she wouldn't be sleeping that much longer. And I was sad that she wouldn't eat more food. But yet I couldn't find myself to be sad more than for a mere second, because even though she wouldn't sleep, or eat, she would still be my Abigail, and that's all that really mattered.

She finished breakfast, I paid, and we started back into the forest.

"You promise they're not going to be upset?"

I took a deep breath, "I can't promise that they won't be mad, but I promise you that they will me more upset at me. Please don't worry about this."

"I just don't want your parents, or any of your family for that matter to think that I'm a slut."

I stopped and looked at her, "Abby, honey. Nobody thinks that you're a slut. Why do you keep presuming that?"

She shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. It just seems like a slutty thing to do."

I was silent for a moment, "Do you regret it?"

"Oh my gosh! No, of course not. That was the best night of my life. Do you regret it?"

"No. Not at all. And my parents were around our age when they first slept with each other, well my mom at least. My dad was kind of our age…"

"But they were married."

"Woah, wait a second, how did you know that?"

Her eyes widened for a moment as if she realized a mistake, "Um, a little bird told me?"

"Abigail…"

"Your mom told me."

"You asked my mom about her sex life!"

"No! It's not like that. We were just talking. It just came up. I didn't ask her, besides she's kind of my friend now…"

"She's my mom."

"Can we not talk about this?"

I took a deep breath, "I can't believe you talked to my mom about sex."

"We didn't! Can we please just drop the conversation?"

"Fine. We should be heading back anyways." I sounded a little more aggravated then I was, but I was never great at hiding my emotions.

I put Abigail gently on my back and was about to start running when I heard Abigail's quiet voice, "I'm sorry."

"Oh, Abigail, it's okay. I'm not upset, I swear, it's just going to take time to get used to you and my mom being close friends is all."

She leaned in and kissed me on the cheek, "I promise not to tell her anything about last night."

"Gee, thanks."

She laughed and then I took off running. Within a few minutes we were back at the house. I kept Abigail on my back and climbed up the wall back to my room. I placed her in the bedroom and then headed for the door.

"Where are you going?"

I turned around and kissed her lightly on the lips, "You should get in the shower. I'm going to deal with my parents okay?"

"You don't have to do that alone…"

"I promised you. Now, I'll be back in a few minutes…hopefully."

She smiled and I left the room to go downstairs to face my parents…
