All too soon Susan glanced at her watch and sighed in disappointment.
“Awww damn! I’ve got to go… Got a really early shift tomorrow, however much I would love to continue mad dancing with you guys. I’ll go and catch a cab.
“I’ll wait with you.” Abby chimed in.
“It might take a few minutes and I want to make sure you get off safely.” She said with a grin.
“Is that alright Luka?” Abby asked him he nodded and grinned looking forward to spending time with just Abby alone.
“I’ll look after your drinks, I’ll check outside in about 10 minutes to make sure Susan’s left ok” he said. Abby grinned and nodded.
“Ok, see you in a few.” And Abby and Susan wondered out into the cold night air. Susan had been paying close attention to Abby and Luka and there was definite tension, she could have cut it with a knife, she felt excited about discussing this with all her colleagues the next day.
“You and Luka seem very… Friendly lately.” Susan said with a mischievous grin. Abby blushed a little and just shrugged.
“He’s a great friend. He’s just really been there the past few days.” Susan nodded. “Uh-huh. Well. Whatever you say I could FEEL the vibes coming off you guys and we all know I am the all knowing all seeing Susan Queen of wisdom” Abby laughed and pushed her friend a little.
“Mmm. Susan Queen of gossip more like…” Susan nodded and then thought for a moment and grinned
“Well that is all part of the perks…” she said with a playful grin, Abby rolled her eyes as a cab drew up.
“Go home Susan!” she said grinning “And don’t be this drunk in the morning.” Susan grinned cheekily and tapped her nose and waved at Abby as she got in the cab. “I’ll be interrogating you tomorrow you know!” she called out.
“Be quiet and drink some fluids so you don’t get hung-over!” Susan laughed and winked at Abby as she gave her one last wave and the cab drove off. Abby smiled and shook her head as she turned to walk back to the door the creepy guy from before blocked her way.
“Hey again.” He said with a sneer.
Abby started to feel a little vulnerable, as there was no one about and he knew that. She backed away a little then said
“Can you move please I want to get back in.”
He stood in the doorway still blocking it ignoring her request.
“I think I should get to know you a little more… What’s your name?”
Abby’s heart started beating a little faster. “Abby. Let me get passed.”
He just shrugged. “No I quite like it out here.”
Abby tapped her foot. “This isn’t funny would you just let me go past!” she started towards the door attempting to push past him. He grabbed hold of her arm in the doorway, pulling her back.
“Get the hell off me!” she said as she tried not to sound scared and tried pulling her arm free, but he was much stronger than her. She tried punching him with her free hand but he caught that one too and pushed her backwards away from the door.
“Let go of me now! Let GO OF ME!” she started getting louder now. He tutted at her and shook his head.
“You’re so violent. But you are quite cute.” He said with a nasty sneer as he brought her closer too him holding her tightly as she wriggled trying to get free.
“Get the f**k off me, let me go you f**king psycho!” she cried out desperate.
“Oh shut up..” he said getting a little annoyed. He put one hand on her ass and squeezed hard.
“Get OFF me!” Abby cried trying desperately to get away. He backed her against a wall and covered her mouth with one hand tight, so she couldn’t move her jaw and her head was pressed to the wall. She winced a little. And cried out still although very muffled she had started trying to say “Luka”. This guy had her pinned against the wall and started stroking upper thigh as she continued trying to wriggle her way free. He started undoing her jeans.
Luka looked at his watch and was a little concerned; he thought that Susan might have got a cab by now. But he wondered towards the door to check up on them.
“Stop WRIGGLING for f**kS sake you’re getting bloody annoying now.” Abby managed to bring a knee up to collide with his balls. He doubled over
“ARRRRRHGG!” he screamed and he let go of Abby who ran backwards breathing heavily and trembling, she felt sick, at least she had stopped it she kept thinking over and over.
“You f**king BITCH!” he cried regaining his breath he ran towards Abby and punched her full on to the side of her head, she went down her head spinning.
Luka came out right that second as Abby hit the floor and the guy was rolling up his sleeves. Luka flew at him throwing punches at him then easily threw him hard against a rubbish skip that lay near. He jumped up and ran out of sight with the words.
“f**king Psychopath…”
Luka ignored him as he gently bent over Abby who sat shaking uncontrollably on the floor. She fell back against him clinging to his shirt and sobbing, her head was spinning and she just sat clinging onto him.
“Sshh..” he said softly, holding her tight to him feeling extremely guilty. “He’s gone now… He won’t come back… He didn’t…?” he couldn’t say it but she knew what he meant and shook her head and whispered “Nearly…” she was calmer now Luka was there. A huge weight was lifted off Luka’s chest but he was still angry. She tried to stand up but felt dizzy. Luka gently picked her up in his arms and made his way with her back too his car.
“I’m meant to be driving…” she said quietly in his ear as they reached the car.
“No your not, you’ve been hit in the head and besides I only had one pint.”
She nodded her head simply falling back against Luka’s chest. He carefully set her down in the front seat and squeezed her hand silently. He drove her to her apartment and walked her up to her door keeping tight hold of her. He came in to her apartment and looked at her head.
“It’s just going to be a bruise.. But call me if you start feeling woozy.” He hugged her tight and kissed the top of her head protectively.
“Please stay.” She whispered softly. He smiled and nodded hugging her tight.
Phew this one is EXTRA long. Yuppers., hope you enjoy it
