A Fatal Passion Forged In Black ~Motionless In White

~ Chapter 19 ~

Abigail's POV

-

Work went by really quickly and I really enjoyed it. I read two pretty awesome manuscripts today and I hope that Mr. Parente appreciates them as much as I do. During my lunch break, I went to a little café across the street with the secretary Rebecca. She's super nice, and really pretty. But anywho, she payed for my meal after what seemed like hours of arguing which still kinda pisses me off. We just talked about girl stuff and I think it's safe to say that we might get really close. I'm just happy to have another friend to talk to and not judge me. Which kind of reminds me about Devin. I haven't talked to him in almost a week, so I guess I'll do that while I wait on Ricky.

"Hello," he answers on the fourth ring.

"Hey Dev, sorry that I haven't called you in a while,"

"It's fine, don't worry about it. So what have you been up to?"

"Welllllll, I have some big news..." I tell him excitedly.

"Oh god Abs, if he got you pregnant..."

"Oh god, no, no, no, that's not it." I say quickly and breathes a sigh of relief.

"Okay, what is it,"

"Do you remember the Black Casket Publishing Company back home?"

"Yes...."

"I got an internship!" I tell him and he squeals. I laugh at his excitement.

"That's amazing Abs! Well, I'm really sorry, but I have to go. I'll talk to you later,"

"Okay, bye."

Minutes after I hang up, I get a text from Ricky telling me he is here to pick me up. I grab my stuff and tell Becca goodbye before heading out the door. As usual, Ricky is parked right beside the entrance and I climb into his car.

"So, how was it?" He beams at me.

"It went really well, I love it!" I tell him and he smiles at me before kissing me gently.

"That's amazing, I'm so happy for you," he tells me. "Do you still want to go look at some cars?" He asks and I almost forgot about planning on looking for a car today.

"Oh, yeah. I almost forgot," I respond and we head on our way to some car dealerships. At the first two, I find nothing that really fits my interest and we're on to the next one. At this one, I find a black 2014 Toyota Camry that has been used but still in good condition. Also, the price isn't too steep up my budget so I think it's a deal. Ricky seems pretty bummed that he won't be driving me everywhere now, but I honestly need my own car. I hate him having to miss classes to take me to work and he refuses to let me pay him gas money. Stubborn asshole...but I love him.

We drive back to the dorms separately which feels kind of odd driving on my own since I haven't drove by myself since California. It hasn't quite been two months since I left from California which seems odd. The time has flown by and this last month with Ricky has been nothing but amazing.

We arrive back at the dorms and order Chinese food and watch movies with Victoria which is nice, but I enjoy having alone time with Ricky. Oh well. He stays until about 12 until he decides to leave.

"Goodnight baby," he says kissing my forehead.

"Goodnight Rick Dick, I love you," I reply and he smiles before giving me one last kiss.

"I love you too, Abs," he slips on his shoes and as soon as he's out the door, Vic starts squealing.

"Oh my goth, you two are like too perfect," I throw one of my pillows at her and flip her off. She sticks out her tongue and I roll my eyes before turning over and falling into a dreamless sleep.
