I'm so sorry if it took so long
, I was out. Ya know, school vacations, we have to enjoy...
The Compass
Because we always seems to find each other.
Luka pointed the remote at the TV, turning it off. He let out a sigh and glanced at Abby who wiped a single tear in her cheek.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"Expressing my small, but alive human side." Abby answered wryly.
Luka sat up straight waiting for her to elaborate. "I loved this movie. It's beaultiful..."
"Some boy kills a child for no reason and then the child's brother kills the boy for revenge. Where's the beauty in that?" She looked at him for the first time.
"Love, Luka. He killed him because he loved that kid..."
"And love is a reason for murder?"
"Even God has been a reason for murder--" He cut her off.
"So, we are talking about God now?"
"No, Luka. We're talking about a child with a mental illness who was struggling to be normal. He was completly aware of his situation and he felt humiliated. His family didn't see that, but that boy did, and just wanted to release him from his pain. Death was freedom."
Luka stood up, headed to the kitchen and came back with a tub of chocolate ice cream.
"Do you want some dessert?" He asked.
She looked at him with a blank expression and he wondered if she was just confused or if she was trying to have the ice cream and the last word at the same time. She finally smiled.
"It would have been better if you had just said 'I can't argue with that, Abby'... "
'Yeah, she definately wants the ice cream.' He thought as he handed her the tub and a spoon.
"I just think this isn't going to end well since we both have completely differents points of view..."
"Well... If you feel that way about "The United States of Leland", then I think you might wanna consider getting those boxing gloves for the next movie" She said as she stood up, "I heard "Crash" it's kind of controversial..." She grinned as she approached him, and saw that his expression mirrored her own.
"You know, I don't have boxing glo..." he didn't finish as their lips met in a kiss. His right hand began to stroke her hair, then her neck and then her shoulders.
He felt that she wasn't really aware of what she was doing and was going to wake from her daydream any time. He missed her, very much. But now, she was here, she was with him.
His hands slid to the small of her back pulling her closer in an attempt to feel the warmth of her skin.
Suddenly she realised what she was doing and quickly pulled back.
"I should go..." She said hurredly as she walked towards the coffe table to pick up her stuff.
Luka slumped onto the couch, his face burried in his hands. He had screw up things once again.
"Because, I'm on tomorrow morning..." She said, answering the question he never asked.
He picked up the DVD box.
"We still have one movie to watch..." he tried as she headed to the door.
"Maybe, some other time..." she murmered.
He nodded slightly.
"and Luka?" She said, already in the hall. "I liked arguing about movies with you so, don't watch it without me..."
And then she was gone.
Luka played with the DVD box in his hands and smiled.
"I won't."
