Here's another update, I may have another one up tonight, but it may be tomorrow morning, Charlotte
Abby looked down for a moment, before looking back up and making eye contact with him again. She wasn’t really sure what to say, how to put her feelings into words that were appropriate. She decided that she was going to try to buy herself some time to think about what she needed to say to Luka, so that she would get it right, and her words wouldn’t be misinterpreted.
“Nothing,” She replied, sitting up and pulling herself out of bed, “Do you want a coffee?”
“Yes please,” He answered, following her out of her bedroom.
Luka was trying to work out what was going on with Abby, and what the hell had just happened; ‘That was really weird’, He thought, ‘Abby was going on about how people at work wouldn’t believe Carter if he tried to spread dirt on her and me because we aren’t like the people who hop from one relationship straight into another, and all I did was agree with her, and her face just…fell. And then when I asked her what was wrong, she went quiet, and broke eye contact, then she got up and asked if I wanted a coffee, why would she just change the subject instead of answering the question?’
Abby, meanwhile, was making coffee for the two of them in the kitchen, though she was actually still trying to decide what to say to Luka. ‘I need to tell him that I love him’, She thought, ‘But how the hell should I do that? I can’t just walk over to him and blurt out that I love him; he’d think that I’m crazy! Wait, he probably already thinks that because I walked out of the conversation without even answering him. I need to sit down with him, and I need to talk through my feelings with him rationally, and without running away. That’s what I’ll do!’
Abby carried the two cups of coffee through into the lounge area, where she found Luka sat on the couch, also deep in thought.
“Here’s your coffee Luka,” She said, “Could you go and check that Carter isn’t still stood outside of the door please, because I need to talk to you, and I don’t want him eavesdropping,”
“Sure,” Luka replied, trying not to laugh. He opened the apartment door to find the hallway outside completely empty. ‘She must be paranoid’, He thought.
“Was there anyone there?” Abby asked when he came back,
“No,” He replied, sitting back down on the couch, next to her.
“OK, so I need to talk to you Luka…erm…I need to tell you something…oh man…why does this have to be so hard?”
“It’s ok,” Luka reassured her, “Take as long as you want, I’m not going anywhere.”
“Thanks…I…err…I…need…to tell you that…err…I…err…”
Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and Abby, who was glad of the distraction, ran over to answer it:
“Hi Neela,” She said, “What are you doing here? Oh, come in.”
Luka watched as Abby walked back into the room with Neela,
“Oh, sorry! I’m not interrupting anything am I?” Neela questioned,
“No, don’t worry,” replied Luka, “I’m just going to go…” He pointed at the kitchen, and Abby nodded, realising that he probably didn’t want to get in the way of whatever Neela had come for.
“So, I came to make sure that you were ok after yesterday,” Neela began,
“I’m actually feeling good today, even though Carter came for another row last night.”
“Really? Why would he do that? I thought that you’d already told him everything that you had to say.”
“I had, but he wouldn’t accept that we were over, and kept going on about how I was cheating on him with Luka.”
“Why would he think that?”
“Because I went out for a walk with Luka yesterday evening, and I told him everything, we came back into the building holding hands, Carter was waiting outside my door and he flipped when he saw us together.”
“Jealousy?”
“Oh yeah! Luka put him straight though!”
“That’s good, but what’s he still doing here?”
“I asked him to stay with me last night.”
“Oh, on the couch, right?”
“No.”
“No?”
“He was going to, but I asked him to sleep in my bed, with me,”
“What?”
“I know, I know! But this morning, when I wake up to find myself all wrapped up in his arms, it felt so good!” Abby said, her voice dropping to a whisper,
“What? Abby, are you insane? You only just broke up with Carter!”
“I know, but I was lying there with my head on his chest, and suddenly it hit me how strong my feelings for him are.”
“What are you saying?” Neela asked,
“I’m saying that I love him,” Abby whispered,
“Are you going to tell him?” Neela whispered back,
“I was trying to when you arrived, but it wasn’t going very well,”
“What do you mean?”
“I got as far as saying, ‘I need to tell you something’ and then I froze up, and the words wouldn’t leave my mouth,”
“I think that you’re just going to have to hit him with it, don’t allow yourself to think about it too much, just tell him straight off. Trust me, it’s the best way.”
“Thanks Neela, see you at work tomorrow,”
“Yeah, and you’d better have told him, because if you haven’t, I’ll kill you, and that’s a promise!”
“I’d better do as I’m told then!” Abby joked, showing Neela out of the apartment.
Abby walked back into her apartment and sat back down on the couch before calling out:
“Luka! You can come back in now,”
He wandered back in from the kitchen, and sat down next to her, before saying:
“Are we going to finish that talk then?”
“Yeah. Ok, what I need to tell you is that…” She paused, thinking about Neela’s advice, before continuing, “…I…err…I love you!”

Luka just sat there staring at Abby in shock. Abby was starting to get uncomfortable with his silence, so she broke it:
“Say something, please!” She begged,
“Did you just say what I thought you said?” He asked,
“What do you think I said?” Abby teased,
“That you love me,” Luka replied, still in shock,
“Yeah, that’s what I said,”
“Whoa! That’s big, no wonder it’s taken you all day to say it!”
“I know! I didn’t know how to tell you, but Neela told me to just say it bluntly, so I did!”
“Well you surprised me, that’s for sure!”
“Is that all you’re going to say?” She said, wondering if he was mocking her,
“What do you mean?” He asked,
“Well, I’ve told you of my feelings, how do you feel?”
“I’m guessing that it’s time to tell you that I love you too?”
“Really?”
“Honestly! So how long have you felt like that about me?”
“You mean when did I realise that I felt like this?”
“Yeah,”
“This will probably sound completely daft, but I realised this morning, when I first woke up and you were holding me, and everything just felt so…perfect,”
“It doesn’t sound daft, because it was the same for me,”
“Really?”
“Yes, laying in that bed with you this morning felt so right, and when you asked me what I was thinking about, Carter wasn’t what I had been thinking about; that was just the first thing that came into my head after you asked the question.”
“So what were you really thinking about?”
“You, my love for you, how nice it was to be snuggled up with you in bed on a day off, and…”
“And what?”
“How you had only just broken up with Carter, how can we be sure that this isn’t just about you being on the rebound having just finished a relationship with Carter?”
“Because there was something between us before I left Carter, I just haven’t paid much attention to it until today.”
“Really?”
“Yes, really!”
“I’m still concerned though, about the timing of this,”
“I know you are, but we can’t help the way that we feel about each other, and besides, why does anyone have to know?”
“I see your point, nobody would even know that we got together quite so quickly after your break-up with Carter, as long as we’re discrete.”
“I can do discrete!” Abby laughed,
“As can I!” Luka confirmed,
Abby held her arms out, saying:
“Come here then!”
Luka shuffled across the couch towards her, gradually closing the gap between them. Once he was close enough, Abby reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck, still pulling him closer to her. He followed suit, wrapping his arms around her waist. She looked up and met his eyes with her own, before gently guiding his head down towards hers. Their lips collided, and they both began to sink into the kiss, the world around them disappearing until only the two of them remained.
After a while they had to pull apart to breathe. Luka rested his forehead on Abby’s and asked:
“Do you really think we should be doing this?”
The Wishing Well, Part One, For Your Journey – Pendragon
Destination unknown To steer this great ship through time and space Through the cold and dark abyss
Are we falling into freefall? Set the controls and steer our great ship, mankind Through the black holes, past the asteroids To safety
And as you take each other’s hand And you reach into each other’s heart Pray that moment never crumbles away and dies And becomes as the dusty books The broken wings of butterflies Don’t lose that vulnerable thought That human touch So what if you are wrong? It still means so much And when you feel broken And you look up to the stars When the humans could no longer love Remember who you are And as mans time slips away Through the hour glass of fate Remember you are as a molecule In the sum of all the parts Which will always make things great You might well be wrong Is it better to be happy or be right? Never let those eyes twinkle out Just always walk in the light Carry the crazy, the wild, the excitable, the child And when you’ve fallen to your knees And your eyes are full of tears It’s time to make things new Listen to your heart I beg you, please…
Abby looked him in the eyes, and replied, the honesty apparent in her eyes and voice:
“I do!”
And that was all Luka needed to hear from her. They quickly fell back into their kiss, both feeling content.
