A Killer Loves Me

Chapter Nineteen

(Meredith's POV After Abbi leaves)

Haley goes running upstairs after Abbi blows up on her. I think about following her but decide against it.

Instead I go into the kitchen and get a coke. I sit on the counter and drink it.

Coby comes in with an angry look on his face. He walks over and stands in front me.

"Why do people have to be such douchebags?" He asks as he leans on the island across from me. "I don't know. I think that's just their way of letting out their anger." I tell him.

"But why do they have to take it out on other people?" He asks. "Maybe that's the persons only way of letting off steam." I say.

"But why did he have to be such a prick about it? He could have just said he didn't wanna talk about it." Coby says, obviously referring to Tod.

"I'm wondering that about Abbi too. She has never been so mean and closed off before. Normally when she's mad or upset she lets us in and let's us help her." I tell him.

"Them two have just been on edge lately. I think Abbi has something on her mind that she's not telling us. And I think Tod is just frustrated with all the mixed signals Abbi's sending him." Coby says matter of factly. "What could she have on her mind?" I ask curious.

"Maybe it has to do with a dream I heard her having when she fell asleep on the couch the other day." He says. "Wait what dream?" I ask confused.

"It seemed more like a nightmare. The other day when we were all over here she fell asleep on the couch, remember?" He asks. "Yeah I remember." I say.

"Well I was sitting in the chair watching tv when I heard her making noises. Then she started saying a guys name as if she was longing him. But when she woke up and I asked her about it she couldn't remember what she dreamt about." He tells me.

"What guys name?" I ask. "She just kept saying Shane,over and over again." He says. "Shane? But she doesn't know a Shane." I say.

"Are you sure about that? I have a feeling that there's a lot of things we don't know about Abbi. That she's keeping from us." He tells me. "But why? Why is she keeping stuff from us? She's confusing me. Why won't she just tell us how she feels?!" I say loudly.

I start to get upset and a tear falls from my eye. Coby moves forward and wipes it from my cheek, his hand lingering there.

"Please don't cry. I can't bear seeing you hurt." He says quietly.

He takes his hand away from my face, and looks downward looking at the ground. I put my hand on his chin and make him look at me.

"Thank you." I say. "For what?" He asks. "For always being here for me. Every since the eighth grade you've been here for me and I've never thanked you for it." I tell him.

"You don't have to thank me. I do it because I want you to be happy. And I want to be the one that makes you happy." He says as he inches towards my face. "You've always been the one that's made me happy." I tell him.

He smiles and lightly touches his lips to mine. I put my hand on the back of his neck causing the kiss to be longer and deeper. He moves to where he's standing in between my legs. His hand keep a firm hold on my hips.

He breaks the kiss and plants small kisses down my jaw bone and down by neck. He stops at my collar bone and sucks on the skin there.

I immediately moan loudly as he finds my soft spot. He sucks harder, causing me to moan louder. Every time I moan I pull hard on his hair, and every time I pull his hair he moans.

His mouth goes from my collar bone and back to my lips. His tongue immediately goes into my mouth.

The doorbell breaks us out of our daze. When I look up I see Seth standing there laughing at us.

"Come on guys! Learn how to use a room! Seriously!" He says as he starts laughing even harder.

My cheeks turn a deep shade of red. I jump off the counter and follow Coby as he opens the door. I see Derek standing outside.

After Haley comes downstairs and leaves I ask Coby if he can take me home.

We head out the door and into his truck. The ride is spent talking about random stuff.

When we get to my house he leans over and gives me a kiss. I pull away and give him smile before going inside.
