Olympic Love (Abby Dahlkemper/You)

Chapter 6: Knight in shining armour

Y/N POV

Not being able to wait any longer, I decided to open the handle, and obviously I found Jamie a few steps away.

"Y/N, What happened to you? I didn't even have the time to get off the bus that Sam told me you were gone..."
"Sorry Jamie if I didn't warn you and I made you worry, but I saw Abby running away and I wanted to try to help..."
"You don't have to apologize ok? I know how you are, I know how much you can't bear to sit idle, but really, at least send me a message next time... have you seen the missed calls? Or at least how many text messages had I sent you? "
"Just a little while ago..."
"As I imagined ..." Jamie said with a sigh and then sat on the edge of his bed.
"... I hope that at least it was worth it to run away so suddenly...Tom goes crazy at times, also because he was afraid that you might be kidnapped..."
"... in the Olympic village...of course..."
"Hey, in his defense, we heard a kind of distant scream and we really thought something serious had happened, even Sam was worried..."

Hearing those words, I inevitably lowered my gaze scratching my head, feeling guilty and well, being one of the two responsible for that moment of carefree fun.

"Wait ... so there is something to do with that scream ..."
"What the ..."
"Y/N, I've known you for a century, and I know when you try to hide something or when you feel guilty...come on, spit it out..."
"Ok ok, it's my fault...or rather ours..."
"Yours ..."
"Yes, Abby's and mine...I was simply trying to help her and I must admit that that liberating scream was really helpful ..."
"Liberating scream ..."
"Yes, right. She initially didn't seem very inclined, but in the end she let go and she enjoyed it. I let her talk about her, then I gave her advice on what little I could understand since she didn't really explain  me what had happened... "
"Seriously?"
"Well yeah, I'm a stranger after all and then it doesn't seem right to get in the way... it's Abby's business..."
"...Yet you wanted to be there for her anyway, even though you didn't know her and didn't know what had happened. You wanted to make her feel good... "

My best friend for the umpteenth time expressed his thoughts aloud, leaving me perplexed as he seemed to want to get to a point with that speech.

"Jamie, what have you got? It's late... come on, spit It out..."
"... nothing, you just are a really nice person, besides the fact that I think someone has a crush on that girl..."

At those words I raised an eyebrow.

"Ah, that's where you wanted to go with this speech..."
"Ehehe you asked for it..."
"To answer your question anyway no, I don't have a crush on Abby. I just wanted to be there for her as no one seemed to be doing it or noticing that she was struggling... "
"Hey calm down, don't get defensive mate. I just wanted to make fun of you. I know your intentions are genuine...in any case let's go to sleep...it's late ...
In any case, Tom will do the interrogation tomorrow, wait for it ... "
"Come on, you've already done it to me ..."
"True, but he is part of another investigation agency...the T.T.I...Tom Toolis Investigation ..."

At that statement I shook my head starting to laugh, and then I changed and put myself under the covers, having then turned off the light.

"Goodnight J.C.I..."
"J.C.I?"
"Jamie Cooke Investigation ..."
"Ah, now be a joker..."
"Of course..."
"Goodnight Serial Screamer... ah and in any case I think you would make a nice couple ..."

At that statement I simply rolled my eyes at the ceiling, knowing full well that if I answered him, a new quarrel would arise.

Jamie POV

Once I took my last dig, with a smile still on my face I looked up at the ceiling and thought back to what had happened in the bus after Y/N got out chasing Abby. Maybe he could be the knight in the shining armour.
