Not again
Before she could say another word, she could feel his breath on the back of her neck. It felt warm, comforting, almost erotic.
Abby silently muttered "why'd I come out, stupid me."
Gibbs voice echoed through Abby's thoughts "Abby sit." with one hand around her waist guiding her to a stool she sat down.
Not looking up, her heart raced. "He knows, how can I ever look at Gibbs ever again?"
"Abby look at me!" He firmly spoke.
Without thinking Abby did as he commanded. Looking at him, she couldn't take her eye's off his handsome face. She'd never notice how his face had aged, nor his lips. How they formed that look. They often would curve when he was stressed. Mesmerized by his looks she had to force herself to speak.
"Gibbs I um…I'm sorry, I um" ….…a tear flowed down her cheek, with one swift move Gibbs was by her side. Reaching his hand, he softly wiped the tear away. His finger lingered on her face, brushing her soft cheek once more. He then quickly pulled back.
As Abby looked into Gibb's eyes, he softened his look, and smiled at her as she smiled back.
Softly he asked once more "What is troubling you Abbs?"
She wanted to blurt out "I can't take it one more day with out you!" but she knew it'd be the wrong move; instead, a thought came to her.
"Gibbs my friend got hurt and you caught me…." Gibbs could tell Abby was lying.
Softly his hand rose to her mouth. Her heart began to race. Looking into her eyes he spoke in a deep tone "Are you going to lie, or tell me the truth?"
She tired desperately to look down, but she knew better. How could she tell him she loved him? How?
Looking deep into her eyes, it hit him: what could he do? Thinking hard for a moment, Gibbs took a deep breath in, trying to find the right words. He took a step forward and, reaching out, slowly pulled her chin up. As he looked at Abby, he softy spoke.
"Abby I …….."
