Thanks guys!! Chapter 22 Susan looked away from the table briefly, when she did she saw him walking towards the table. “Oh god!” “What?” “Eric, he’s here!” “It’s okay Susan, it was only one date. I’ll just tell him……” “I slept with him!” Susan blurted out. Abby was stunned, that was the last thing she expected to hear. She thought they didn’t get along. In a matter of seconds Eric would be at the table, so she plastered a fake smile on her face and stood to greet him while Susan tried to look busy by sipping her coffee and reading the paper that had been left by whoever had been there before them. “Good morning ladies.” “Eric, what are you doing here?” Abby asks. “Well, Susan rushed off so fast after your call this morning that she forgot these.” He held a pair of silver earrings in the palm of his hand. Susan reached for them and he took the opportunity to smile at the fact she was blushing. “Thanks.” Susan said quietly as she tucked them into her purse. She tried to ignore the fact that he was still there staring at her with that stupid grin on his face. He obviously wasn’t going anywhere. “Can I buy you breakfast?” He asks. “Eric maybe you should go.” Abby says “No.” He refused. “Eric.” Abby says in a harsher tone. “Abby, it’s okay really. Why don’t you go home and I will call you later.” Susan says “Are you sure?” “Yes.”

Thanks guys for all the kind words!!! Really appriciate them, here's a small chapter until I finish writing the next one!! Chapter 23 Abby looked at them both, not sure if she should leave them alone. “Okay.” She stood, picking up her keys and as Eric sat down in her seat she whispered. “Behave yourself, please.” He smirked as she walked away. “What did you tell my sister?” “The truth, I can’t stand you.” She simply says. “Did you tell her I don’t like you either?” He crosses his arms and tilts back in his chair. “Everybody likes me, I’m likable.” “And I’m not?” “Not really, you’re kinda arrogant.” “Just confidant.” He smiles. “Too confident.” “Do you want to take this back to my place?” He asks. Without saying a word she jumped up from her seat and grabbed his hand, pulling him out of his seat, she answered breathlessly. “Yes.”

Chapter 24 Abby set the keys down on the kitchen counter. She was about to go up to her room when she saw a crisp white envelope with her name scribbled on it. Taking in into her hands she traces the corners with her slender fingers. She pulled the flap and removed the piece of paper from its wrapper. Unfolding it, she began to read the words. Abby,
I have fixed the plumbing in the kitchen and also taken a look at the broken step and railings on the back porch. I‘ve gone to pick up some lumber to fix it with.
I got the impression that you were avoiding me this morning, so I am going to make a stop at Joe’s to check on his cat. I also have got to stop by Rebecca’s to pick up the rest of my stuff. I hope this gives you the time you seem to need away from me.
I just wanted to tell you that I really like working for you and I hope that we can get past anything that might have made it awkward for us to co-exist. I‘m beginning to think of you as not only my boss, but a friend. I hope you feel the same.
LukaAbby smiled, he was right they were friends. At least she thought they would be, given the chance. She suddenly felt stupid for hiding from him. It was only a kiss, well technically two very hot kisses but that was beside the point. The point was she liked him. There was a knock on her front door so she tucked the note in her pocket before answering it. He was sitting on the steps when she opened the door. Oh no he was back now (not the person she wanted to see) and his shoulders were slumped. She approached him slowly and sat on the step next to him. “I wasn’t sure if I should knock or walk right in.” He says. “What are you doing here?” She asks. “I came to tell you I’m sorry.” His voice is soft and his eyes continue to look down at the ground. “It’s a little late for that don’t you think?” “Abby, don’t be like that.” He looks at her. “Do you know how long it’s been? You could’ve come sooner.” “I know. I’m sorry I didn’t but you’ve got to understand, he is my brother.” “And you were my friend; at least I thought you were.” She was starting to get angry; her hands were clenched at her sides. “I feel partly responsible, I introduced you.” “You were my patient; I met your brother when he came to visit you in the hospital. You are not responsible for what kind of man he is.” “You saved my life.” He says. “Yeah.” She sighs and her face softens. “I owe you.” “You don’t owe me anything, it was my job.” “I couldn’t just sit by and say nothing Abby.” “What are you talking about?” “You should get a lawyer.” He stood, walking down the steps to his car. As he pulled open the driver’s side door he stopped to look back at her, still sitting on the porch. “Why do I need a lawyer, what’s he going to do?” “He’s going to try to sell the house out from under you.” He sighs. “And he wants the baby Abby.” Before she could say anything he climbed into the car and pulled away.

Thanks guys!! Chapter 25 When Luka got home that evening he was surprised to see the front door wide open and all the lights off. He sprinted up the steps of the porch calling out to her as he entered the house. Upon entering the house he could see her on the floor in front of the fireplace. She was sitting with her knees pulled up to her chest; her arms were wrapped around them. When he got closer he could see her eyes were red and swollen, streaks of dried tears showed on her cheeks. Carefully he kneeled down next to her, she looked exhausted. She didn’t flinch as he lifted her into his arms and carried her to her room, laying her in her bed for the second night in a row. As he was about to leave she looked up at him. “Please don’t leave, I can’t be alone.” “Okay.” He kicked off his shoes and climbed under the thick blanket. They quietly lie side by side in her bed, staring at the ceiling. “Do you want to tell me what happened?” “There’s nothing to tell Luka.” “I don’t believe you but if you don’t want to talk about it I’ll understand.” They were silent again until she spoke, he hoped she would tell him why she was so upset but she just changed the subject. “How was Joe’s cat?” “Much better, Joe has asked me to bring you over some night for dinner. Jason is a great cook and he is excited to meet you, since Joe likes you so much.” “That sounds great.” Luka noticed her fingers nervously work against the place her wedding ring once was. He reached out and held her hand, stilling her motions. She looked at him and smiled; a single tear escaped and ran down her cheek. He brought the other hand up, wiping at the salty tear. “I need a lawyer.” Her voice was barely audible, a deep shaky inhale of breath followed. “Richard is going to try to sell the house.” “Was he here?” Luka asks with concern. “No, his brother came to see me today. He told me what Richard was planning to do. He is going to try to sell my house without my knowledge. He is probably planning to buy a big house for that slut so they can raise my baby!”
