Chapter 9 Luka cautiously approached her and took her hand leading her to the living room. He motioned for her to sit on the couch. “I’m a mess, I can’t do anything right!” She sobbed. “I’m sure that’s not true. You are really good with animals, amazing even.” “I’m not a vet! I was a doctor for god’s sake!” “You were a doctor?” “Yes, is that so hard to believe?” “No, that’s not what I meant.” “I quit because he wanted me to have kids.” “Your husband?” “He said that I wouldn’t have the time for a career and family. When I got pregnant, I quit my job and he ran off with a red head bimbo!” “I’m sorry.” “Now I’m all by myself, no husband no kid and no job!” “What happened, if you don’t mind me asking?” “I had a miscarriage.” “I’m sorry.” “It’s okay, I cried for a long time after it first happened.” “I should go, you probably don’t want to talk about this stuff with a stranger.” “No please stay, I can cook you something.” “That’s not necessary, I really do like muffins.” Luka is relieved when she laughs.

Thanks guys!! Chapter 10 “Thank you.” She says. “Is there anything I can do for you?” “No, I’m sorry you had to see that. I feel like a fool.” “It’s no big deal; I understand why you were crying.” “Actually I freaked out because I have to go out Friday night.” “Oh.” “I bake when I’m upset.” She admitted “So you’re upset about going out, why?” “I have to find a date. I don’t know anyone to ask. I would ask John to go with me. He is my best friend but he will be away with his dad on a camping trip and leaves Friday morning. And then there is always Mark, he offered to take me but that would be like taking your brother to the prom.” “I could go with you.” He suggested “You would do that?” “Sure. Look at it this way, you know I will be a perfect gentleman. I don’t want to loose my job.” “About that…” “You’re not firing me are you?” “No! I just wanted to tell you that you’re doing a great job. This place has never been so taken care of. Thank you.” “You’re welcome. Well I better get to bed, I’m going to get up early tomorrow and start repainting the porch.” “Are you sure you don’t want me to make you something to eat, I really feel awful about that.” “No, I told you I love muffins and I’ll just grab a few on my way out.” “Okay, goodnight.” “Goodnight Abby.”

Thanks you guys!! Chapter 11 Three days passed. It was now Friday night; they were supposed to meet Eric and Mark at the restaurant by six. Luka waited in the living room for Abby to appear. She was still getting dressed and he was sure they would be late. It didn’t really matter either way to him. This entire week he thought about telling Abby that he wasn’t so sure about this whole thing and maybe she would be better off finding someone else to take her. He never found the nerve to tell her, mostly because every time he started to, she told him how excited she was about Friday night and thanked him for taking her. His ex might tell you he was a heartless bastard but he just couldn’t let Abby down. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that he understood how it felt to be dumped. He had waited long enough, he was going to go let her know if she wasn’t ready in five minutes he was going without her. As he reached the bottom of the steps she appeared at the top. She self-consciously smiled at him and ran her fingers over the dress she was wearing. “It’s been a long time since I’ve been out, I wasn’t sure what to wear.” She says. “You look….amazing.” She wore a simple black dress with a plunging neckline. The materiel hugged her breasts tightly. Her usually straight hair had been curly and it was the first time he had seen her wear makeup, not that she needed it. She was a naturally beautiful woman. “Thanks you look great too.” She says. Great was not the right word for the way he looked, but she knew if she were to tell him what she was really thinking it would be awkward between them for the rest of the evening.

Thanks guys!! Chapter 12 He held out his hand for her to take as she climbed down the last two steps. “We should get going before were late.” “I want to make sure Eric goes through with it this time.” He helped her put her coat on and then rushed to open the door, holding it open for her. “Thanks.” Once they got to the restaurant, they were seated at an empty table. Surprisingly they were the first ones to arrive. They ordered drinks and made small talk until Eric arrived. “Am I too late? Did she leave already?” “Are you late on purpose? Eric!” “Relax, my car wouldn’t start. I had to call a cab. So where is this perfect woman that you wont stop nagging me about?” “She called me and said she was running a little late.” “Uh huh, this is why I don’t like blind dates.” “She’s coming Eric. Where is Mark? Did he decide to skip the date and take her straight back to his place?” “I don’t think that’s his intention.” Just then a small blonde approached the table. “Thank god, I need a drink to get through this.” Eric looked up at her. “Could I get a scotch please, did you guys already order drinks?” “Yes, but this isn’t our waitress Eric. This is my friend Susan, your date.” “Hello Eric, it’s nice to finally meet you. Abby talks about you all the time.” She was beautiful and he was impressed by the fact that Abby knew exactly what type of woman he was attracted to. Maybe this would be a good night after all. He would have to find some way to let Mark know that he wouldn’t need any help making an excuse to get out of a second date. The real waitress approached their table and as she did, Susan smiled at her. “Excuse me miss? Could I get tequila for me and a scotch for him? Thanks.” Susan asks. Yes, this was going to be a good night.

Thanks guys!! Chapter 13 Abby mindlessly stirred the drink in front of her as she listened to the woman go on and on. Why did Mark have to bring this woman, she was annoying. All she did was talk, and nothing she had to say was interesting. “Where did you find her?” Eric asks as he leans close to Mark, making sure his date did not hear. “I met her today; she was coming out of Dr. Mooney’s office.” “A shrink, she was coming out of a shrink’s office? Are you crazy? She could be this close to being committed, listen to her.” “I’m sure she’s medicated so there’s probably no real danger, she just likes to talk that’s all. Besides I was desperate.” “Clearly.” “I didn’t want to get a date until the last minute in case Abby called.” “So now we all get to suffer! Thanks.” Eric says a little louder than he intended, it was something he was about to regret because now he was the focus of her unwanted attention. “So Eric, how long have you and Mark been friends because I’m sensing a little hostility towards him?” “We’ve been friends since we were young, and I’m not hostile.” “I can see it in your eyes.” “No, this is just what I normally look like.” “Susan have you been dating Eric for long?” “This is our first date actually.” “This is interesting, how did you meet?” “Abby is Eric’s sister and she set this up, she is a good friend of mine.” “Well a good friend is something to be cherished. Don’t you agree Eric?” “Uh…yeah, I guess.” “It’s okay to open up your feelings, don’t be so closed off.” “I’m not closed off.” “I think you could use a hug.” “Thanks for the offer but….” “Oh no silly, I meant you should hug Mark. Hugging is a great way to open yourself up to someone.”
