Abby’s Point of View
Nine Weeks Later
Ugh, I have to go back to work today; but I did get an extra week off, doctor’s orders. I looked in the mirror; I am wearing a blue lace shirt with white skinny jeans and black heels. I had done my usually makeup and put a white bow in my straightened hair. I had on a few silver bracelets and a silver heart ring, and lastly I was wearing the infinity sign necklace that Oli had gotten me for Christmas. I sighed and walked downstairs and grabbed my keys and phone; I walked over to Oli who was holding Scarlett and I kissed her softly on the head and smiled slightly at Oli before I walked out the door. I got into my car and drove a few minutes to my café where I parked in spot before unlocking the front doors. I walked in and flicked on the lights to reveal an unchanged café; thank god they didn’t trash it whilst I was gone. I checked the fridge and the dough for today’s goods was already pre-made and ready to be baked.
The day was running smoothly until I was about to go on lunch when I realized I had left my wallet at home, that figures. I grabbed my phone and called Oli, “Hello?” he whispered and I figured he had just put Scarlett down. “Hey Oli, I forgot my wallet and my lunch at home; could you maybe bring one of them? If it’s not too much trouble, if it is then I’ll just wait until I get home.” I said and I heard him shuffling around. “Sure, I will be there in ten, see you then.” He said and then hung up. Okay, yes I realize that I could just drive home to get lunch but I just wanted to see Oli and maybe talk to him while I’m on lunch. Almost exactly ten minutes later Oli’s car pulled up in front of my café and I walked outside to meet him; I had already told my staff I was going on lunch. “Hey, thanks.” I said as I grabbed my wallet from him, “Where’s Scarlett?” I asked once I saw she wasn’t in the backseat. “Sierra and Lee are at home with her, no worries she is going to be okay. Want to go out for lunch?” he has asked quietly and I nodded and he gestured to the other door so I walked around and got in. he started the car back up and soon enough we were at some restaurant down town. We got out and walked inside and were immediately seated. “How have you been?” I asked and he shrugged. “Good, and yourself?” he asked back and I sighed. “I meant how are you, because I know you’re not good.” I said and he looked down and then back at me. “How should I feel? How many times do I have to say it that you hurt me so much and after it all I still love you, how pathetic do I have to be? For like seven months or whatever I sat in my apartment and did nothing, I drank and cut…and that’s about it.” he said and that was about as straight forward as you can get. I sighed and looked down at my menu and suddenly wasn’t hungry. “How often do/did you eat?” I asked him and he raised an eyebrow at me. “I don’t know, if I was really hungry once a day, if that…maybe every other day if I was feeling motivated. And now? Once a day.” He said and I just sighed, there was nothing else to say on the topic for right now. The waitress came back and took our orders and was obviously flirting with Oli the entire time but he didn’t seem to notice. I looked at him, “How did you not notice her flirting with you and flirt back?” I asked and he shrugged. “I noticed, but I’m not interested; in case you didn’t hear me I still love you and since I met you no other woman has caught my attention or deserved a second look.” He said and I suddenly felt stupid.
We ate the rest of our lunch quietly with minimal small talk but I still love spending time with him, no matter what. He drove me back to my café so I could finished my shift, he walked me inside and followed me back to my office so I could pay him back for lunch. “Here, fifteen will cover it, right?” I asked handing him the money but he refused to take it. “No, lunch was my treat and I won’t let you pay me back for it.” he said sternly and I flashed back to every date we ever went on, no matter how small it was he would never let me pay or even help pay. “Thank you Oli.” I said and he nodded. “It was just lunch.” He said quietly and I shook my head. “No, thank you for everything; for coming back and offering to help with Scarlett, I could never raise her without you.” I said before getting on my tip toes and pecking him on the lips quickly and he turned a light shade of pink and I smiled. “See you at home.” I said before he left. I miss him so much, I think one of these days I will find a way to have a civilized conversation with him and at least make a friend out of him and go from there. I miss my Oli, I miss when he would kiss me for no reason, when we would cuddle all night. When we could talk about anything together and the other wouldn’t get hurt or offended. He was my partner in crime and for the longest time I was convince that such thing as ‘soul mates’ existed, and Oli was mine. And Oli is mine.
