New update, enjoy, and the song is Fading Like A Flower by Roxette, Charlotte
There was no alarm the next morning, so neither was woken ridiculously early. When Abby finally surfaced, she saw that she was lying in a bed, Luka’s bed, and yet she couldn’t remember how she got there. She glanced at the clock beside the bed and was surprised to see how late it was. She climbed out of bed and headed downstairs; she needed coffee to function!
Luka woke to find that Abby was no longer beside him. He sat up and looked around, wondering where she could have disappeared to, when music began to filter its way into his consciousness.
The kettle was on, and Abby had turned on the radio to wake her up a little. She turned when she heard the bedroom door open behind her, and smiled at Luka as he made his way down the stairs. She turned back to the counter and poured the now boiled water into the two cups she had placed there before. She handed him one of the cups, before drinking from her own. Suddenly, the radio started playing one of her favourite songs:
In a time where the sun descends alone I ran a long, long way from home To find a heart that’s made of stone
Luka saw Abby put her coffee down, and walk over to him. She removed his cup from his hand and pulled him up from his seat,
“What are you doing?” He asked her,
“Dancing,” She replied, pulling him closer to her, “I love this song!”
I will try; I just need a little time To get your face right out of my mind To see the world through different eyes
Abby reached up and wrapped her arms around Luka’s neck. He moved his hands down to her waist and they began to move to the beat of the music.
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away But when we meet it seems I can’t let go Every time you leave the room I feel I’m fading like a flower
“What does this song mean to you Abby?” Luka whispered in her ear,
“It was released about twenty years ago, so it’s from the period of my life when I was running away from everything; I ran from my family, the way I used to live. Then I found Richard, and this was kind of our song. Then I found he was cheating, so we divorced, and I was running again, I guess you could say that it reflects my life.”
Tell me why When I scream there’s no reply When I reach out there’s nothing to find When I sleep I break down and cry Cry, yeah
She rested her head on his shoulder; waiting for him to respond, tell her that she was being stupid. He didn’t. He just looked down at her and smiled, before leaning down to kiss her.
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away But when we meet it seems I can’t let go Every time you leave the room I feel I’m fading like a flower
She lost herself in his arms, forgetting all about her past, just wanting to focus on the present. The here and now. The way that she felt about him. She never wanted to let him go again.
Fading like a rose Fading like a rose Beaten by the storm Talking to myself Getting washed by the rain It’s such a cold, cold town Oh, it’s a such cold town
He pulled away slightly and looked her in the eyes again. There was no mistaking the love that shone there. As well as the tears. He lifted his hands to her face and wiped them away, and once again, she felt the fear leave her body with them.
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away But when we meet it seems I can’t let go Every time you leave the room I feel I’m fading like a flower
She smiled at him, before reaching up to kiss him again. She pulled away, and stood up on her toes. She whispered into his ear:
”I love you, Luka,”
“I love you too sweetheart,” He replied
“Thank you,”
“You don’t have to thank me for loving you,” He smiles, but then upon remembering her words from the previous day, he continued, ”Abby, what was it that you wanted to talk to me about yesterday?”
“Right, ok, can we get some breakfast, then we can talk about that?”
“Sure, what do you want to eat?”

I'm back with an update, finally! Sorry for the delay, I've been completely tied up with schoolwork. Hope you like it, Charlotte
Later that day, Abby suggested that they both go out for a walk. She knew that she had to tell him that some people were suspicious of them. She was well aware that she should have told him as soon as she found out, but then her emotional insecurities had resurfaced again, and she had forgotten all about it.
Luka agreed that a walk would be nice. He felt that they needed to get out of the apartment for a while. He didn’t know what Abby was hiding, but he knew that he would be there for her no matter what.
They walked in silence for a while, before either of them decided to speak. Eventually Luka spoke up:
“What’s wrong Abby?”
“Nothing’s ‘wrong’ I really love this, but I’m just scared that someone will find out and think that I’m some kind of rebound, or even worse, I mean Carter only left a couple of weeks ago. I can imagine what this would look like from the outside…” She tried to explain,
“Why do you suddenly care about what other people think or say?”
“Because I have to work with them, we both do.” She replied defensively, “Why don’t you care?”
“Honestly?” He asked,
She nodded,
“Because what they think isn’t important, this isn’t any of their business. Our relationship is between the two of us, and nobody else, and besides, it’s not like anyone at work is likely to find out anyway, because they already know that we’re close friends, and we’ve not been doing anything to suggest anything else,”
“Unfortunately, that’s where you’re wrong,”
“What do you mean?”
“I was talking to Neela yesterday, actually I can’t remember whether I told you that I told her we were together or not…anyway, she said that Ray had been asking questions, wondering why we suddenly looked closer than we usually do or did,”
“That’s weird, especially since I can’t actually recall behaving any differently than I used to. As far as I am concerned, at work you are my closest friend, and even though our situation has changed outside of the ER, nobody else, other than Neela know any different.”
“Yeah, you’re right,”
“And as for people thinking badly of you, well if they actually paid any attention to you at all towards the end of your relationship with Carter, it was blatantly obvious that you weren’t happy,”
“In the end, we couldn’t stop fighting, and I see your point, if they hadn’t noticed that, then they must have been blind!” Abby laughed,
“Yeah,” Luka agreed smiling at Abby’s sudden change of mood, “It’s nice to see you happy again,” He added,
“Thank you again, for making me feel happy again,” She replied,
Luka smiled at her again before stopping and pulling her close, hugging her tightly. Leaning closer to her ear, he whispered softly,
“Please don’t keep things like this to yourself Abby, promise me that you will talk to me in future,”
“I will,” She replied sincerely, pulling out of the embrace and lacing her own fingers through his.
They started walking again, neither of them actually knowing where they were heading, and neither of them particularly cared; they just enjoyed the time that they were able to spend together without being interrupted by anybody.
***** ***** ***** ***** *****
Dark was beginning to fall when they stepped back into the apartment building. Luka opened his door and they both entered, thankful for the warmth that the central heating within provided.
Abby discarded her coat and walked over to gaze out of the window. Luka followed her, wrapping his arms around her waist, as she leaned back, resting her head on his chest. Together they stood and watched as the sun disappeared from view, tingeing the Chicago skyline with a beautiful mixture of orange and pink. Abby sighed, suddenly realising why she loved Chicago so much, she lifted her eyes to meet Luka’s, so very much…
