A Killer Loves Me

Chapter Twenty-Five

After a minute of standing there frozen the girl sees me. She pulls her lips away from Tod's and that's when I see that it's Monica. She gives me a weird look then talks to Tod.

"Why is that creep just standing in the doorway?" She asks him. "What?" He asks surprised.

Then he turns his head and notices me. It takes a second for him to realize it's me then his face turns ghostly pale.

"Abbi! What are you doing here!" He says.

He quickly pulls away from Monica and throws on his clothes as I run away from the room. I hear him following me but I just ignore him.

I'm not paying attention and run smack into someone. They catch me and hold me in their arms, when I look up I see that it's Steven.

"Oh thank god. You have to get me out of here!" I tell him quickly. "Wait wh-" he starts but gets cut off.

"Abbi it's not what it seemed!" Tod yells as he stops behind me. He sees Steven holding me and his face turns angry.

"Not what it seems! You were having sex with Monica! Am I right?!" I yell at him. "Yes but-" He starts.

"No buts! Just get away from me! You say you care about me then you go and sleep with some slut that you know I hate!" I yell at him. "So! You turned me down! And plus you're obviously messing around with Steven!" He yells.

"No I'm not! We are friends! And even if I was it would be none of you business. Just leave me alone Tod." I say quietly. "Abbi I can't-" He starts.

"I think she said for you to leave her alone." Steven says angrily as his grip tightens around me.

"Can you just get me out of here Steven? Please." I plead as I look up at his face. "Of course. Let's go." He says.

He pulls me away from Tod, who tries to grab me but Steven gives him an evil glare so he stops.

When we get to his car I wrap my arms around him before he lets me go. I bury my face in his chest as he hugs me tight in comfort. I pull away and look at him.

"Thank you. I would not have been able to handle it if I got stuck in that situation." I tell him. "No problem. Now get in the car." He orders teasingly.

We drive away from the house but we don't head for my house.

"Where are we going?" I ask him. "Our night isn't over yet. We wanted to have fun, so that's what we'll do." He tells me with a smile.

We drive for about ten minutes. When I look up from my lap I realize we're pulling up to the mall.

"What are we doing here?" I ask surprised. "They have a carnival inside." He tells me.

Then he opens my door and leads me through the mall to the carnival. It has a bunch of booths, little rides, and even a little Ferris wheel.

We go to a bunch of booths and win some stuffed animals. Steven wins a big stuffed monkey at a shooting game and gives it to me.

The next thing I know we're standing in front of the Ferris wheel.

"Oh no. I'm not going on there!" I tell him. "Why not?" He asks. "Cause I don't want to." I say.

"Is Abbi scared of heights?" He asks teasingly. "No I'm scared of falling." I tell him.

"Well we are getting on." He says. "No!!" I scream as he pulls me over and forces me into the seat. As we go up I bury my head in his chest.

"Come on look at the view." He says pulling my head from his chest.

I open my eyes and look out at the mall. We are towards the top and can see everything.

"It's such a beautiful view." I tell him. "Not as beautiful as you." He says.

"Oh how original." Say as I turn my head see his face is right next to mine, my cheeks heat up and I turn away. Then the Ferris wheel stops when we're on the very top.

"Why'd it stop?" I ask scared. "Cause there's only a couple of people on and they wanna give them a chance to enjoy my the view." He says.

After a minute of just sitting there I start to get scared again and bury myself into Stevens side. He laughs which causes me to look up at him.

"What's so funny?" I ask as I glare at him. "How you act when your scared." He says. "Whatever. This is your fault anyway." I tell him.

Then the Ferris wheel starts to move again.

"Yeah but it was fun wasn't it?" He asks with a smile. "No it wasn't." I say. "I can make it less scary." He says as he leans closer.

But just then the Ferris wheel stops and the bar on our seat is unhooked.

"Alright love birds. Time to get off." The guy says that works here. "We aren't-" I start. "Man. My girl was just about to kiss me too." Steven says as he we get out of the seat.

We walk out of the mall and to his car.

"Are you gonna take me home now?" I ask. "I was strongly considering it." He says. "Good." I say.

We pull up to my house 20 minutes later. I jump out and head inside. As I lay in bed that night one thought keeps running through my mind.

I'm really starting to enjoy spending time with Steven.
