Abby sat on the sofa across from her father admiring him,coming to the realisation that he was really there. She could be with him and he would witness all of her accomplishments and setbacks too, without them she would not see how strong or wise she truly was. Her father had been there for exactly two weeks and unknowingly they had fell into a somewhat predictable routine. Jacob and Malik would go out on business while Malik would come back and leave as soon as he came. Then, Mr. Lockwood would grab the morning's paper and his breakfast,that he would make for Abby and himself. Slowly strolling to get to the love seat by the window.
Abby could tell that this was his time to relax and he loved it.
Mr. Lockwood wasn't one to be fussy,he liked the comfort of books and food. A simple life. Therefore, when Abby excitedly told him that they were going out he stiffly shook his head once, an indication that he did not want to go.
"It will be fun."Abby cajoled her elation as vibrant as the sun.
He shook his head once more.
Abby calmed down deciding to use a different tactic.
"It's beautiful there and peaceful. You'll love it, I promise."
He looked at her.
"If you don't want to stay we'll come home right a way,deal?"
Two heartbeats passed before he answered.
"Okay."
They drove Jacob's car,the windows all the way down. She called to let them know where they were going. She wanted to avoid the presence of the CIA,FBI and the SWAT team being summoned just because she went to the park.
She wanted to bond with her father.
They got to the park,checked in and followed the guide assigned to them. The guide was a short stout woman in her forties with wild reddish brown curly hair. She was enthusiastic and chipper ready to share all the information she knew while Abby and her father just wanted to take in the breathtaking landscape and endangered species protected in this little haven.
They tuned her out most of the time,each of them in their own well made bubble, impenetrable by outside force.
The guide noticeable pleased with her line of work pointed out the names of plants,animals and rare tiny spiders that were more dangerous than a two headed snake.
Abby's father hummed at the sight stepping a bit closer to the enclosure his eyes transfixed on the little creatures, bewitched by them.
They appeared to be free,careless to the needs of the world and suddenly Abby's father wished he was a spider,a miniscule dangerous spider armored to be fearsome and brooding.
"Then,only then." He thought, "I could have been there for my little girl instead of shutting down and giving up on everything,Instead of leaving her to fend for herself."
"I would have been a great father."
The somber thought tip-toed through his mind leaving him struggling with his emotions and his body temporarily paralyzed.
Abby ended her daydream somehow sensing that something was wrong. She looked up and around,suddenly realising the beauty of the sky and how the air smelled fresh and weirdly alive,she smiled a small smile appreciating it all. Then,lastly she gazed at her father,ready to return to her musings she saw that he appeared more withdrawn than usual. She went over to check on him.
•••♪•••
In the mean while Jacob and Malik thought it was about time to visit their girl,leaving her for this long seemed like torture. The bounty of their love was incomparable to anything of this world and beyond.
Some may say it's a bit risky to say that they love someone that much but it's appropriate for them and it's the God honest truth.
They loved Abigail Lockwood.

"Hey,dad are you alright? Is this too much for you?" Abby questioned concern etched across her delicate features,
She placed her dainty hand on his shoulder and really stared at him looking for any signs that he wasn't okay,she couldn't afford to lose her father,not again.
Malik and Jacob entered the park a while ago scouting the area for Abby when their eyes simultaneously landed on the red head Charlotte. The woman who irritated the hell out of them and made Jacob want to strangle her.
Malik tensed,his teeth gritted against each other while Jacob looked on as he had just spotted a pest he had to deal with.
"I thought you took care of her." He growled glaring at his brother.
"I did."
"But she's a woman and a mob boss, she does whatever she wants."
"I swear to fuckin god Malik,if anything happens to Abby you'll wish Charlotte killed you when she had the chance because when I'm through with you Mom will hate me forever. "Jacob threatened venom dripping from his words.
"Nothing will happen to Abigail." He seethed annoyed that his brother thought that he would let harm come to Abby, he loved her and nothing would ever change that.
Charlotte waltzed around the enclosures teasing the lions and tigers, smiling a rich beautiful smile as they jumped up to claw at the gigantic metal cages,either loving the attention or getting ready to rip her to shreds,the latter would've been a sight to behold.
Her goons followed close behind their apparel befitting a corporate employee, nothing like the high end scumbag criminals they really were. Especially Charlotte,who wore a sleek designer skirt suit, killer serpentine heels and her signature wild fiery red hair.
She spent her time flirting with the beastly animals that evoked raw animalistic prowess,a trait she wished her lovers and men had.
She sighed wistfully.
She had once thought that Jacob held that kind of power, but she was wrong. He was weak, her sister proved that much to her.
He was too soft in the heart.
Sadly he knew how to tame his beast,he wanted to,unlike these natural bred predators that let their beasts reign just the way she liked it.
Charlotte licked her plump strawberry tinted lips thinking of her new lover Sebastian. He was truly a gift from God,he knew what she like and how to deliver it which had her salivating for his touch,those warm large hands caressing her breasts in the most delectable way, had her ready to wrap this little play date up so that she could have her new boy- man toy between her legs.
"Keep an eye out for that girl." She warned remembering Jacob and Malik's feisty little minx.
"Yes boss."
"Abigail....." The name rolled of her lips like melting butter."Mmm,maybe I'll have a taste." She smirked.
