All In The Name Of Love

Chapter 2(Abi)

I was slumped at the office for three proceeding weeks and my mind kept resturning to the night at the club. I had unfortunately come to accept the fact that I actually wanted to see Abel again . His prefect smile and  the way he swallowed each time he asked a question was admittedly hot. Although I  clearly knew he was trouble,I felt drawn to him.

"Abi .Are you finished compiling the results of the antibiotic ?" Adam asked as he came in and caught me daydreaming.

"No,sorry," I said making my way to now begin.

"Need help ?"

I nodded. Luckily I had made friends with Adam and he was such a good friend and such better company than Becky. But admittedly I still was fond of her .

On my break I messaged Becky.

<Becky.... bar 2nite???

>WOW 😯GIRRL!!!SURE..7??

<♡♡YES SEE YA

"Who are you looking for?" Becky asked .

"No one, "I lied.

"Whatever makes you sleep at night." Becky shoot back.

Then there were two cold hands covering my eyes. I giggled like a four year old child as I knew it was Abel. With confidence I utter his name and I failed to contain my laughter. The vibrating sound of his laughter shock all the bones in my body and I felt blood rushing through my veins . I was entangled in this guy.

"So do you believe my profession now?" He asked .

"No ," I relied instantly.

As was conversing with Abel
Taking a glance at Becky who wore a smirk on a face folowed by a smile of approval.I spent the entire night talking to Abel and having drinks . I was getting drunk which factually speaking was a terrible idea because I had work the next day.

***

A month had past since I had gotten a bit too intoxicated and gave Abel my number which was followed by 5 dates with him . This was because he was a humorist.

I was working on a project for Axon's newest drug with Adam in his office when there was a raucous sound on his door. Bursting through the door was a short asian women . Her eyes were burnt red, she was obviously crying. He shouted at Adam and struck his face with her left hand .

"Lu!" exclaimed Adam .

She had already stormed out leaving Adam with a burning right cheek and filled with embarrassment.

After a few minutes of silence Adam began to explain that the lady was Lu ,is ex girlfriend ,who  blamed him for the death of her younger brother and her unborned child.

"Your kid ?" I asked looking sadden.

Adam shook his head repeatedly.

"She cheated ...we had an argument. ..she fell ...I was drunk...on the way to the hospital her brother was shot in the car and well died ," Adam explained with head down and sighing between every two words.

"Later I heard she was pregnant the time of the tragedy and well lost the baby . To be quite honest with you I don't know when she lost it ...whether it be the day of the fall or sometime after. I didn't know she was pregnant to begin with ... The only thing I know for certain is that I was not the father ," Adam continued.

I looked at Adam wide eyed . I didn't know what to say . I had so many questions but all I managed to say was "oh" .

"Yeah she has been choked up it ever since," Adam strugged and continue typing.
For the next half hour we sat without speaking as the sound of the  clicking of the keyboard and the preaaing of the stabler disturbed the uncomfortable silence.

                
                             ***

"That is just one psycho woman,"
"Poor Adam ," Becky added as she scratched her hair.
"I know,"I sighed .
"The worst part is..." Just then I received a message from Abel.

>ABI ....

<HEY ..WYD?

> NOTHING ..HAHAH I'M BORED WANNA COME OVER.

<I DONT KNW WHERE YOU LIVE REMEMBER.

> OH YA WELL UMM I'LL COME BY U

<THIS IS SOOOO UNFAIR:/
"Who is it ?" Becky asked already prying over my phone.

"Adam jeez," I replied spiting her red hair out of my month.

"Hmm You li.."

"He is coming over," I interupted.

"Oh well I'll leave...just don't anything
I won't do ," she smirked as he got up off the sofa.

"Eww yeah right look who's talking ," I laughed.

Exactly 30 minutes after

*Door bell rings *
