Chapter 9. Temporary Insanity
"You made a move and changed your mind, too much to lose, you've crossed the line between friends and something more" Alexz Johnson
Becker walked into the living room of the flat after putting away the last of the dishes after he and Abby finished dinner. She was sitting on the couch, absorbed in a book and didn't look up when he sat down.
He wanted to talk to her, needed to talk to her, he was going crazy not knowing what the way she was currently acting meant. He picked up his own book and tried to concentrate on the words in front of him, but it was useless.
"Abby, can we talk?" he asked, laying the book back down.
She slipped a marker in the book, and looked up at him.
"Of course, what's going on?" she asked.
He struggled to find the right words, to put them in a proper sentence.
"Abby…last night when…" he sighed, he really wasn't good at this sort of thing, "Abby…have things…changed between…us?"
"I've been trying to figure that out all day," she said with a small smile, "And the truth is as much as I loved Connor, and as much as I miss him, I'm ready to move on…with you…that is if you still have the same feelings for me that you did."
If he were the happy dance sort of person, he might have actually done one, instead he smiled, and slid from the armchair he was sitting in to the couch beside Abby. He reached over and cupped her face in his hand, before kissing her deeply.
"That hasn't changed," he mumbled, pulling away only briefly.
"Oh what you do to me. What comes over me. If this is crazy, there's nothing I'd rather be." Alexz Johnson
**So I really felt like this chapter needed to be posted as is, sorry for the shortness, but I was really happy with it
