Awakening Abigail

Chapter 9

"L,we need to skip this class. I have something very juicy to tell you!" 

Abi looked like a child. Excitement made her blue eyes shine, and it looked like she had to do everything in her power not to jump up and down. Louise was intrigued with her friend's enthusiasm. 

"Ok Abi, what ever gets you so exited deserves a class skip. Anyway, it's only Risk Management." 

Both of them made their way to the cafeteria.  

"Tell me now you, little tease!"  

Louise wanted to die from curiosity. Abi just gave her an enigmatic smile. 

"Not until we sit down with a nice cuppa. Patience,mon ami." 

"Well then,give me a clue!" 

Louise despised waiting. Seeing her friend this excited only meant something big. Getting Abi to skip class, something huge. Abi suggesting they skip class, enormous!  

"Nope. Get your coffee, and then we talk."  

She shoved a empty styrofoam cup into Louise's hands, and walked to the pay point, leaving Louise behind, brooding.  

At last they found a seat.  

"Spit it out Miss I - have - something - to - tell - you." 

Abi took her time, opening the cup, adding sugar, stirring slowly. Louise wanted to scream.  

"Abi! You’re a bad, bad friend!" 

She looked like she was going to explode. Abi laughed, shaking her head. 

"Watch out L, you'll burst something." 

Louise stared at Abi, and sighed in defeat. 

"Fine, be that way."  

Abi felt bad about getting Louise so worked up.  

"Aw, don't be so glum girl. I'll tell ya..." 

Louise's green eyes brightened up. She leaned in closer. Abi did the same, her voice a whisper. 

"Dr Cash came to my apartment last night." 

Louise looked shocked. 

"Say what? Shoot Abi, you had a wet dream? This is why you get me so excited?" 

Abi laughed at Louise's disgusted expression.  

"No you idiot. He really came to my house. After you called me and I told you about our little argument and him grabbing my face. One moment I was sulking on my bed, and the next Tiny starts to freak out." 

She told Louise everything, and ended with him touching her cheek.  

"Abs, you can knock me over with a feather. The man loves you." 

Abi blushed beautifully. 

"I won't call it love, but there's definitely something." 

"Abi, don't be stupid. Andrew Cash is 32 years old, unmarried, and he comes to your home, call's you Disney character names and can't stop touching you. The man wants your babies." 

Louise sat back, arms folded, feeling she made her point.  

"I don't know L...all I know is that for the first time in how long, I don't feel like running. Don't get me wrong, I'm still not very keen on physical contact, but the thought doesn't scare me as much. Not with him." 

Louise listened to Abi, concern growing inside her. She was glad for Abi, all she wished was for her friend to be happy, and heal from her scars.
