Abigail's Journey

A prestigious office building in midtown Manhattan, Abby's black jeep pulls up to the front entrance, Abigail Lauren emerges and enter the building. She went up to the tenth floor to one of the offices where she began talking to someone, I'm here so let's just get started alright. Okay, you can start anytime you're ready. It was a year like no other doc.
Abigail Lauren is an attractive 36-year-old who is an Exotic mix of South American African, East Indian and Portuguese, she is usually elegantly dressed... despite the fact that she's wearing torn old jeans and tee shirt today. Her best friend Sheron August, a little older and as attractive, had just moved back to New Year City because she landed an editing job at a publishing house.
Abby and Sheron were meeting for lunch at twelve o'clock inside Grand central station, and some shopping afterward. Glancing down at her watch and then up at the big clock over the information booth on this lovely sunny day in September, inside Grand Central Terminal, where she stood waiting. There was a flurry of voices, a lot of chattering, people talking to one another all around, and then a loud screeching noise... it's the sound of the train wheels rolling to a halt on the tracks. Then in the midst of all the voices a familiar one calling her name, "Abigail ... Abigail, is that you?" She turns around as her name is called, and was face to face with her best friend Sheron. Both very happy to see each other, they usually talk to each other at least once a week but it been about three years since they saw each other last. At the same time, they both scream out with joy. Over lunch, they'll catch up a little and reminisce about old times. God, you look fantastic. How the hell are you girl, "hug"? Great and you don't look so bad yourself. Thank a lot, (Smiling) you know you look, good girl, come on let's go eat. They threw their arms around each other's shoulder and waist. Then it was off to some shopping.
Sheron so are you happy being back in NYC? Yea it's great being home again I miss the city. Have you found an apartment yet? No, I'm staying at the hotel till I find one. Let's get out of here, but Abby we haven't bought anything yet. Yes, and we've got a whole lifetime to go shopping, but right now we're going to get your things and you're coming to stay with me until you find an apartment. But Abby ... are you sure about this? Yes, and it's not like I live in a room where we're going to be under each other feet every minute. And besides I'm not taking no for an answer, so let's go. Okay then, in that case, let's go get me pack and move. They leave the store and climb into Abby's park black jeep on the corner. The jeep pulls away and heads off into the distance leaving behind a woman hailing a taxicab, the roasted nut vendor on the corner, street peddlers selling knick-knacks, people hectically going to their destinations.
That was the last box, Abby. "Good because I'm beat". I beat too but this is a nice view of the sunset. Yeah, it is and it's only 7:45 pm. We finish a lot sooner than I thought we would. Yes, what are we doing tonight Abby? We can go hang out, I know this great bar on the east side or we can go catch a movie and dinner or anything you want it's your choice. In that case, let's stay in tonight, and you can finish telling me all about that life-altering decision you have to make Abby. Are you sure you don't want to go out? Yes, I'm sure, let's stay in. It's a very long story and it could take all night. Come on Abby give already. Okay, then we should get comfortable. You remember Sean Michael the 45-year-old marketing executive I've been seeing for the past three years? Yes, but shouldn't it be four years Abby. Yes and no, we haven't really been seeing each other this year, it will all be explained by the end. You see this all got started almost a year ago, I was at my OBGYN, and while being examined we were having a little chitchat to pass the time. So we were talking about guys and why we love them. Dr. Sue, 39, was telling me about her boyfriend Toni, and how sometimes he makes her so mad, she hates him.
I tell you he never picks up after himself, he leaves his socks, his clothes; he eats and leaves his plates and cups all over the house". And he knows I hate it but he still doses it Abby. Yes, sometimes all we can really do is just hope that their good habits out weight their bad ones. That sounds right, so how are things with you and Sean? It's okay I guess. What do you mean Abby? I care about him, I trust him, I like him, I love him, and I'm sexually attracted to him, but lately there is something missing between us, maybe I'm imagining it doc. So what are you going to do about it? I don't know maybe we just need to get away together for a while.
Yes, sometimes a little escape from the everyday grind is all that is needed. That's when I made the decision that Sean and I would get away from the city for a while. And maybe then I could figure out what was missing between us. So I plan a two weeks vacation to Italy, mind you all this time I didn't realize that Sean knew something was missing between us as well. Come on what happened in Italy Abby. Hold your horses I'm getting to that. It was the second day of our vacation in Italy upon till then my plan was working great and then it happens. Tell me what happens? Sheron calm down I'm getting to it, so then Sean said, "We have to talk". Abby girl tells me he didn't break up with you. Are you going to let me tell the story or do you want to guess? Go ahead, and you're not going to hear another a word out of me.
Okay, so we sat down and he said, "I want you to spit in my mouth". What? ... Why? Because I want to always have a part of you inside of me Lauren. I hope you know what you're doing Sean. Yes, I do. You know relationships don't always last forever Sean even though we may want them to. I know honey but I still want you to spit in my mouth Lauren. Okay as you wish. So I gather up some saliva in my mouth, and with a kiss, I transfer it to his. Then Sean told me his plan. "I'm letting you go for a year, starting when we get back home Lauren". Are you breaking up with me Babe? Oh babe no, I love you and I just want us to be sure this is what we both want. But I know this is what I want already Sean. You may think so but I want you to be sure, I'm only letting you go so you can find out why you've grown so restless lately, I will be waiting at the end of the year for you Lauren. You know life happens right which means I could fall in love with someone else, and you'll lose me, Sean. Yes, I know, but it's a chance I'm willing to take, and one more thing will you marry me, Lauren, shush don't give me your answer now honey. Why not Sean? Because I'm going to ask you again on the eve of September 25th, ... when your year is up. We'll have dinner at Jago's, catch up and you'll give me your answer then Lauren. Okay sweetie, if you sure this is what you want it's a date, "smile".
So for the rest of the vacation Sean and I talked, made love, it was like old times, we were savoring the moments as if they were never going to happen again. More known for our explosive kind of sex, but this was different. Then we were back in NYC and my year had started. You remember John Wallis, 32, from school. Sheron, he's a sports announcer now. Yes ... you mean you and Wallis? Yes, you can say that he was my introduction back into the dating world. So Abby how was it? I'm afraid I'll have to destroy the illusion we had about him girl. No, you're kidding right Abby? No, he can't hang, he's not that good, and he's boring. They both burst into an uproar of laughter. Wait a minute you mean the big talking football star John can't hang? Yes, and he makes strange animal noises too. Like what and when? When he is about to come, first he was barking, then howling and finally neighing. Abby, you're joking? No, and he would come before I even got into it, which made me so bloody mad because then I had to come home and get myself off. Abby, how long did it take him to come? A minute I guess, he would get really excited really fast and then he would have premature ejaculations. Once I tried to teach him how to slow down and postpone it a little but his male ego couldn't handle it so I let it go. I wish I could have seen it, Abby. And I wish I didn't it was like watching paint dry while listening to weird animal sounds, the sad thing is he thought he rock my world and I guess I can chalk that up to my Oscar-winning performance. "Abby then took a symbolic bow". You fake it Abby. Of course, I couldn't very well say ... John you stink. I slept with him about three times, it had gotten so bad I had people call me at a set time so I wouldn't have to go back to his place or he couldn't come to mine. But I couldn't keep up the masquerade anymore.
I'm Sorry about the whole reservation thing, we can order take out if you like? No, it's okay John I had a late lunch. Abby would you like a glass of wine? No thank. I should be going I have an early day tomorrow. Come on stay for a while, and have a glass of wine, please Abby. Okay, I'll stay, but only for a little while. Here you are, god you're beautiful Abby. Thank, "smile". I want you now, "kiss" Abby. Whoa slow down cowboy, I don't have that kind of time now John. I promise it wouldn't take long. You feel that baby, isn't it great... its all you girl. Abby thought to herself "He's kidding right, I've felt more looking at a construction worker picking up a piece of wood". (Smile) Yes, baby, it's something. God, I'm coming neigh, neigh, neigh, neigh, aha. That was great, aren't you glad you stayed babe? Abby thought to herself again "Is it over already? Well, he was right about one thing it didn't take long but did he really think it was great, heck I've had better sexual satisfaction from being with myself and what the hell with the neighing now? This is it I can't do this anymore, I have to end this tonight". Yes, it was the bomb John but we need to talk. What about? Us John, I thought I was ready to start dating again, but after being in a relationship for so long, I need to be on my own now. Abby, we can slow down it doesn't have to be so serious. No, I don't think that's going work for me, John, it has to be over. I need more time to myself, I'm sorry John but this is good-bye. I pick up my purse off the table, straighten out my clothes a little, walk over to the door, stop, turn and took one last look at John, and starts out the door. John came to the door, and yell out after me "call me if you change your mind". I didn't look back I just kept walking to the elevator."
We occasionally ran into each other at different Social events after then, and when he wasn't showing off his latest favorite girl, he was trying to impress me, so I'll take him back. Let me tell you Sheron dating John Wallis made me long for the days of Sean Michael. Abby speaking of Sean did you guys totally cut your selves off from each other? No, we called each other ever so often to make sure the other was okay and I believe we were both avoiding seeing each other for the same reason. What reason was that? Well, we had never gone a day without having sex at least twice on that day. For the whole time, the two of you been together Abby? Yes, they were many things we were good at but we were really, really good at sex. And why aren't you with him Abby? I was restless and needed to find out why. And did you find out why? I like to think I did. Okay, what happens next?
I had a one-night stand with Professor Moore, 56. Did you sleep with Richard Moore how, when, where? I went to this literature lecture and he was one of the guest speakers, afterward at the meet and greet he recognize me. What happens next?
Richard and I went out for coffee so we could catch up a little, and one thing leads to another and we were doing some major making out in the coffee house. "Richard we always knew these feelings were just beneath the surface and it doesn't have to be anything more than just today, so what about it? Are you sure about this Abigail? Yes, but we can walk away now and go back to imagining what it could be like. Or we can find a room and see what it would be like, I vote for seeing what it would be like but it's your call, Richard. Okay, let's find a room. Good I know this great bed and breakfast not too far from here and no one will see us there Richard, so if you're ready, let's go. I just finished reading your last book and I must say I was very impressed Abigail, Thank you. So what are you working on now? Well, right now I'm working on getting up close and personal with this really great guy I know name Richard. Well, you can stop trying". We slowly began taking each other's clothes off. It was like we were dancing the tango. Then Richard proceeded to cover my entire body with kisses, and then he took up residence on my nipples. I was a goner, he had found the key, he was driving me wild, my breathing grew faster, it was like I was walking on clouds and soaring with the angels. I had lost control, my brain was mush and my legs felt like jelly. My body was completely awaked for the first time and I loved every moment of it. I could hardly contain all the wonderful sensation my body was feeling every second. It wasn't likely I was ever going to feel like this again, so I wanted to stay in the moment for as long as I could.
How could you bear having to let go when you knew it wasn't likely going to happen again? Because it was a day I wasn't ever going to forget and I don't have any regrets about it either Sheron. Okay continue, Now Richard rocked my world, I don't know if it was because he's had been doing it longer, it was like he had the blueprint to all my pleasure zones, he did things that made me believe it could only be going downhill and I was okay with that. I scream so much I was ores for almost a week after. Have you ever been drunk from making love? No Abby, what do you mean? It like I was so high I couldn't walk or stand straight, but I didn't care. My entire body was awakened, and all my senses were heightened which made everything I fell super intense. From the sound of that I'm guessing down is the only way for you to go Abby. And on any other day I would have been the first person in line to agree with you, but not today Sheron. Why not today? Because this is only the first leg of my year, believe me, the second and third leg makes the first one look positively tame Sheron. I think I best take a bathroom break, grab some sacks and I'll meet you by the pool, then you can start the second leg. Okay, I guess some night air sounds good. Okay, I'll see you in a bit. All right.
I'm back what happens next? I was at one of my book signings. "Fans are lined up in front of a table, where Abigail Lauren sat signing copies of her new book, as she hands one off to a waiting fan in line. "Ms. Lauren, hi, oh my God I can't believe you're here and I'm here too. I've been a huge fan of yours ever since THE X YEARS". Well, thank you and what's your name honey? It's Sarah Ms. Lauren she replies Excitingly. Well, here you are, Sarah, I hope you enjoy it. "I will Ms. Lauren, I will, bye". As Sarah moves away Abby see this stunning-looking woman about her age standing in the corner reading one of her books, smiling at her, she thought okay it's a fan so she smiles and then turns her attention back to signing books. The Store Clerk announces that this would be the last set because Ms. Lauren as to leave at twelve. Then the woman from the corner got on at the end of the line. Abby just continues signing books, and then it was just the woman on the line."
Whom am I signing this one for? "Ambrosia", replied the woman. That got my attention so I looked up. (Smile) Do you mean ambrosia the food of the Greek Gods? Yes, the woman replied. "And at that moment when their eyes met, something happened. Abby never thought of herself as being anything but heterosexual but strangely enough she found herself intrigued by this woman, it was more than attraction, it was something deeper but for now, neither one of them really knows what it is." The woman said, "I have copies of all of your books at home, but I didn't remember you were going to be here today, so I just bought new ones hoping you'll sign them for me". I think it's the least I can do since you bought double copies. "The name is Theresa Walker, said the woman "Smiling"." Here you go ... I hope you enjoy the read and thank you for coming. Thank you, Ms. Lauren. "Tessa starts out towards the exit, then hesitates for a moment and began walking again. Abby calls after her and she stops and turns around. Wait! Wait! Abby quickly moves toward her. Yes did I forget something, Ms. Lauren? No, Ms. Walker, I'm just curious as to why you said your name was Ambrosia? If you don't have plans for lunch maybe we could grab a bite and discuss it. Tessa had read in Abby's bio she was interested in Greek mythology, so she knew how to arouse her interest and it worked like a charm. Call me Abby and no I don't have any plans for lunch, so where to? I know this great little place. Okay, Ms. Walker sounds good, let's go, we're both driving so I'll follow you, all right? Yes, it's not too far from here and calls me Tessa."
This is a great place Tessa but it's not the one I had in mind. I know but I come home for lunch every day if you like we can go someplace else. No ... it's all right. Abby, I hope you like pasta because that's what I prepared this morning. Yes, that's fine but do I get the grand tour? Sure if you like Abby. Yes, I do... Okay, Abby let's start at the top and work our way back down, Sounds good to me Tessa. This is the library and that is an extra room; those three over there are guestrooms and this is the master bedroom, which is also my room. Do you mind if I look around Tessa? No, go right ahead. I thought I had a big closet but you might have me beat, hey let's go have that lunch and you can tell me about ambrosia. Here you are, Abby. Thank you, so why did you say your name was ambrosia? Honestly speaking I like Greek mythology and it was the first thing that came to my head. So why didn't you just tell me that in the store? I'm afraid I had an alternative reason for not telling you then. What reason was that Tessa? I've always thought you were brilliant, and I couldn't pass up the chance to meet you in person but after seeing you I was totally attracted to you, I thought you were gorgeous and I knew I just had to see you again. Then I remember reading in your bio you were interested in Greek mythology too so I hoped it would give me an opening to see you again and if you haven't figured it out I'm a lesbian and I was hoping you were at least bisexual or fluid. With that said, I just ate my pasta salad in silence for the next ten to fifteen minutes.
But Abby when we were thinking about trying that back in college you always said there were only three women on the face of the earth you would ever think of sleeping with, and that was Angelina Jolie, Janet Jackson, and J.W. True that Sheron but if you every saw Tessa you would understand. Come to think of it I should have some pics of her on my phone, yes here take a look at these. Whoa, is she for real? My point exactly and she has the heart to match, she's a total sweetheart. Abby, how did you ever break up with her? Who said I did? You're still seeing her? You'll have to wait and see. Okay, then Abby tells me what happens after you finish eating.
Tessa is uneasy, setting there across from Abby; uncertain of what her reaction will be, her expressionless face gives no clue, nothing about her gives away anything, she's unreadable." This is delicious maybe someday you'll give me the recipe, I know you're waiting for a response from me, and I do have one but before I say anything I have to ask you a question. Okay, Abby asked me anything, what do you want to know? I want to know what exactly it is you want from me, Tessa? I want to be with you and have a relationship but if a one-night stand is all you want, that's fine with me too. Tell me, Tessa, what makes you think I even swing this way? I apologize if I have offended you but I thought I recognize a likeness in you.
I must admit when I saw you standing in the corner of the bookstore, I thought you were attractive. I've always thought of myself as a guy's girl. I've never been attracted to women before. So you are attracted to me as well? Yes but more than that there is something about you, in any case, I'm not the kind of person that have regrets. So if I walk away not knowing what this is I will be kicking myself for a long time and I can't live with that, So I have a proposal... do you have to work this weekend? Well let's see, tomorrow is Saturday yes I'm supposed to go to the office for most of the day but if there is something you want us to do I can call in. Are you sure Tessa? Yes, I think my boss will let me off for a couple of days. Tessa, what do you do by the way? I'm a divorce attorney with my own law practice. I think you should come to dinner tonight, and bring along an overnight bag. We can spend the weekend at my place, and see where this leads. That sounds good Abby. Good then here is my address and I'll see you say around seven? Yes, and can I bring anything? Just yourself. Okay, Abby, I'll see you at seven. See you then and thank for lunch, bye. Bye Abby and drive carefully. I turned out of the driveway and onto the main road I smile and wave at Tessa who then smiles and waves back? It was almost 2:30, and I needed to pick up a few things from the supermarket.
Tessa's playing air guitar and dancing around, she's very ecstatic about her weekend plans. She knows it's too soon to be celebrating but she has gotten a whole lot farther than she thought she would have, she as nothing to lose and everything to gain even if it turns out Abby isn't fluid. (Tessa Singing along and dancing) I've got a date ... I've got a date, a real date with the woman I love. I fell so deeply in love so fast ... I could be heading for a big heartbreak, but I don't care because I've got a date ... oh yeah!"
I made grill lemon chicken with Cesar salad on the side, for dessert a choice of chocolate lover's cheese pie and blueberry streusel cobbler. Everything was ready so around 6:30 I went into the shower and got out because the gate was buzzing. It's seven on the dot so it must be Tessa. Yes hello. My name is Theresa Walker Ms. Lauren is expecting me. Yes, Miss Walker come on in. I just throw on my robe and slippers and went down to greet her. I excuse my appearance by saying how time had beaten me today. I think you look very sexy Tessa said. (Smile) Thanks, come on in and let me take that. Thank you, Abby. You're welcome and can I fix you a drink, no on second thought that's the bar so help yourself to anything I have to go put on some clothes now. Why, what's wrong with what you're wearing? (Smile) I would say nothing if I didn't feel so underdress so please excuse me and make yourself comfortable I'll be right back. "Abby sashays her way up the stairs with Tessa eyes following her all the way, she felt them and couldn't resist looking back. Their eyes met, so Abby smile and proceeded up the stairs. She gave Tessa a tour of her home ... then they had dinner, it was lovely. Follow by a nice getting to know conversation afterward with drinks on the sofa in the TV room."So, Tessa, do you have any sibling? I don't know I was given up for adoptions as a baby. I'm sorry... I didn't mean to upset you. No ... it's okay, I'm over it now. But back when my practice first became successful, I used to hire private investigators to find my parents. But after a few thousand dollars and a lot of dead ends leads...I accepted the fact that it wasn't going to be. Tessa, I can't imagine what it's like to never have known your parents, but I do understand what it's like to not have parents. Care to elaborate on that Abby. My parents and I were flying in one of those little twin-engine aircraft when it crashed. I was the only survivor because my mother and father had wrapped their bodies around me, I was five at the time, and my father only brother took me in. We had no other family it was just the two of us, until about five years ago when he died from prostate cancer. So you can say I'm the last of my bloodline. We have a lot in comma it seems Abby. Yes, we're both alone in the world, well at least until you find your parents. "There was an awkward silence in the room for a moment."
You can relax we don't have to do anything you're not ready to get into Abby. I know ... it's not that, it's just ... you fascinate me and I'm trying to figure out what it is about you that does that. I hope that's good Abby. Yes, it's good. Tessa leans over and passionately kiss me on the lips while gently caressing my face. The kisses became longer, slower and leisurely until it went hot and wild despite Tessa best intention to not let it and her lose control. And with each one my body trembled with anticipation, so I clung to Tessa and with my every exhaling breath of pleasure fed into her desire for me. Nothing could have prepared either one of us for the surged of passion that was engulfing us. Tearing my mouth away from Tessa's I moaned, "Tessa, stop, you're driving me crazy". But I knew in my heart that wasn't happening it was beyond our control, neither one of us could stop even if we had wanted to.
Later that night I awoke to a darkened room with the glare from the TV in the adjacent room was the only source of light. I manage to quickly slip myself out of bed without waking Tessa. I turn off the TV in the other room. Then I began walking up and down the dark corridor talking to myself. Desire, lust, confusion, so many emotions tumbled inside me, that my equilibrium was threatened. I'm thinking out loud to myself, "I know I have a wild side hell I take pleasure in it but tonight was frightfully thrilling, and I need to come to terms with this new part of myself. But how and what exactly does this say about my sexuality? Am I a closet lesbian who's been running from myself for all these years? And was this why I had grown restless? Poor Sean, how was I going to explain this to him, when I can't even to myself? I'll figure this out later, now I have to slip back into bed before Tessa wakes up".
Oh, I'm sorry Tessa did I wake you? No, I was already up, are you okay? Honestly no I'm not. What's wrong Abby? This and everything I guess, me, us all of it. "Go on". Tessa you've found a hidden part of me that I didn't know existed until now and although a part of me is intrigued by it, the other part is petrified. Okay, continue. I'm not sure if I know who or what I am anymore, its like I've become a bloody stranger to myself. "Well, I know you're the only woman I've ever met with whom I can see spending the rest of my life with and I'm falling in love with you. So just remember you're the same woman you were yesterday that hasn't changed only a little added to but how that is going to affect you only you can decide that". Thank ... Tessa. If you like me to leave so you could be alone to think things through I'll understand. No that's the last thing I want and I'm going to take more than a weekend to figure out. (Laugh, smile) We are entirely too serious now so what do you say to us just changing the topic and go back to enjoying our weekend, I added quickly. "The lovely sound of giggles and laughter were them turn into playful fooling around." Okay, Abby... say it, say what? Okay, I like you and I really want you to stay Tessa.
   First, it was weird, and I was more scare than when I lose my virginity but when she kisses me I was a goner it wasn't like any kiss I ever had before. The touch, the taste, the smell, and the feel was so soft, it was all so brand-new, it was so unbelievably, "sigh". I couldn't begin to explain, words would fail me if I try Sheron. Then show me, Abby. What? ... Do you know what you're saying? Yes if I'm going to understand, I'll need to have some idea of what you're talking about Abby. I'm not sure that is such a good idea, in my experience kissing as only gotten me into a lot of trouble. One little kiss is not going to get you in any trouble, Abby. Okay but you have to give me your word that this isn't going to affect our friendship in any way. You have my word, Abby. All right but this is a one time only thing.
It was the most passionate and intense kiss Sheron has ever felt, she was so overwhelmed all she could do was exhale. Sheron are you okay. Yes, let's take a break... I need to go for a walk. Okay, you need some company? No ... it's okay, I'll be back in a little while. She needed to leave before Abby realize what was happening, so Sheron walked off onto the noon lit lawn to compose herself. Abby began wondering if this kiss had the same effect on Sheron as it once did on her, no it couldn't she was just imagining it.
Abby, I'm back, you can continue. Where did I leave off? You were telling me about you and Tessa. Okay, imagine it's the World Series, the deciding game, the bottom of the ninth, the score is tied, two men out, the bases loaded, you have two strikes, and you hit a game-winning grand slam home run, Sheron. What? Okay, you don't get the baseball analogy; then imagine you're married to Denzel Washington and you're having sex with Lenny Kravitz. Okay, Abby continues. Well, let's just say the whole experience made me want to reconsider the whole heterosexual thing. Tessa gave me back hope that it wasn't going downhill after Richard Moore. So we started dating and a few months later on one of my many sleepovers at Tessa's we call it quits.
  It was the weekend so they slept in until the bright glare from the sun beaming through the glass door woke them up. Hey good morning sleepy head, "kiss". (Smile) What time is it? It's about 9:45 Abby. I must have been really tired I never sleep this late, I'll go grab a shower do you want to join me? No Abby but I need to talk to you. Go right ahead I'm listening. Abby can you just stop for a minute? Sure, darling. I wanted to ask you something since last night, but I didn't know how to ask you. Darling you know you can ask me anything, so just go ahead. Abby, I saw you having lunch with a guy on fifth Ave yesterday and the two of you look like a lot more than just friends, so who is he? Oh, that was my husband to be Sean. You said you were single, so you were lying? Not really, and I never actually said I was single. I think its time for you to go. Tessa began to get up off the bed to walk away when Abby lean over and grab her hand. No ... it's not what you think. I'm not two-timing Sean with you, if you give me a minute I'll explain. So you can tell me another lie? Darling, I've never lie to you and you know that so let me just explain. All right Abby goes ahead you have ten minutes. Yes Sean and I have been together for three years, not counting this year, and we are in love with each other but we are kind of on a break right now. So the two of you go around playing games with people's emotions? What... don't be daft Tessa we haven't been playing games with anyone. That what you think I've done with you? Abby, I don't know what to think, you tell me what it is then?
A while back I plan a surprise trip to Italy, and the plan was for me to figure out what was missing between Sean and myself. Everything when as plan until the day when Sean told me that he was letting me go for a year. What happen? I had grown restless, and he had noticed it too. And since all he ever truly wanted for me was my happiness, he was letting me go for a year to find out why I had grown restless. So when we got back to NY my year started and we went our separate ways but we still keep in touch so yesterday I ran into him, and he wasn't feeling good so I was comforting him and that was what you saw. So what happens at the end of the year, Abby?
Well in Italy he had asked me to marry him and he had said "to not give him my answer at that moment because he was going asked me again at the end of my year when it was up. So we have a dinner date on the eve of September 25, which is when my year comes to an end. Abby would your answer have been yes and will it still be yes? Yes and honestly I don't know if it will still be yes but what I do know for sure is that I'm still very much in love with him. And I'm also in love with you too, although I tried not to be. Abby, I love you too and I am sorry about the whole playing games thing. Oh, darling, it's all forgotten.
They both smile, and began kissing and fooling around. And for the rest of the day, they just relaxed and had fun. The next morning during breakfast they were talking about if Abby had missed being with guys. So they both decided to call it quits but remain friends. Hey take care of yourself, and keep in touch I'm going to really miss you, "hug". Come on darling you're going to make me cry, it's not like its good-bye forever; we are going to see each other around. Oh, I almost forgot I have a gift for you. What did you get me, Abby? I found your parents; they live in Queens, all the information is in the envelope. Good luck and let me know how it turns out, "kiss" bye darling. As they embrace ended, they were still holding on to each other's hand, even as Abby was walking away neither one seem to want to let go. Hey, how did you find them? Let's just say I know people who can find anything anywhere and they owe me a lot of favors. So does this mean I owe you a favor? And with a look that says you know better than that, tears began welling up in Abby's eyes as she took one last look around, then pick up her overnight bag and walk out the door without looking back.
That's it... you guys just ended it like that? No, Sheron, we were in each other's blood by then so every time we ran into each other we would end up in bed. Which made it so much harder for us to be friends only. So we decided to stop fighting it and just start seeing each other again but since I was with Tony it meant a full-blown love affair on the side. So did you ever manage to break up with Tessa for good? Well, you'll just have to wait and see. Abby you have to be touch by angels, you're the luckiest bitch I know. I don't know maybe I am. What happens next? Well, I flew to LA a few days later for a book signing and I met this cute 25-year old guy name Wesley Lewis in the hotel lounge where I was staying. Did you sleep with him? What do you think; of course we bump pelvises. One night stand? Yes although he wanted us to try the long distance relationship thing. But he was still green and I didn't want to train anyone. On my flight back is when I met Anthony Ashley the ruggedly handsome 36-year-old architect. And since then we've been dating and somewhat living together while Tessa and I kept seeing each other on the side. Not my proudest moment and I wouldn't try to excuse it.
"On the flight back to NewYork sitting in first class next to her was this very handsome guy. "I know this sounds like a pickup line, but don't I know you from somewhere?" I don't think so. The name is Anthony Ashley and are you sure we haven't met before? I can assure you, Mr. Ashley, if we had met before you would have remembered it. Wouldn't you at least tell me your name? Abigail Lauren, but my friends call me Abby. And what does your boyfriend or husband calls you? What does your girlfriend or wife call you? What would you call me Ms. Lauren? Well, aren't we full of ourselves? No, I just know what's right for me when I see and feel it and then I don't stop until I get it. Oh, Tony, you're a man after my own heart. I knew it, my heart and eyes are never wrong. Has anyone ever told you, you have the most gorgeous lips in the world? It took her by total surprise, and she was blushing all over. (Smiling) Thank, so tell me something about you, besides your name.
Well, I just met Mrs. Ashley, the woman who is going to marry me and be the mother of my children along with spending the rest of our life together. Abby began laughing and the more she tries to control it the worst it got. I'm sorry I did mean to but you're kidding, right? She had the giggles now so it would just have to run its course. No, I'm not and it is the truth. Like I said I'm sorry but it's not going to happen. Why not, are you already married? No. But you are attracted to me as I am to you so falling in love will be a walk in the park. I like your confidence Tony and I'm not disagreeing with what you just said. But I don't believe in the legal institution of marriage for one thing and secondly, I want to have my own biological children but I don't want to carry and give birth to them. That's all? Tony, are you crazy? Yes just about you. What am I going to do with you? Anything your heart desired".No detail about you and Wesley night together? There isn't much to tell Sheron, it was just your bases ruff, animalism kind of sex. You will have to give me a little more than that Abby. Okay...
"My name is Wesley Lewis. Shush names aren't that important "kiss". We were just ripping the clothes off each other. It was just a lot of grabbing, pushing, rolling and tossing of each other around. It was something right out of a nature scene. It was wild, rough, physical and just on the border of being violent. God, you're incredible, aha. Oh Wesley, yes, don't stop aha, yes don't, yes, yes, yes, yes. That was great and you really not going to tell me your name? Yes, it was and my name is Abby... did we do all of this? Yes but don't worry I'll take care of it, I want to see you again Abby, so when can I? I don't think that's possible. Why not, is it because I'm younger than you? No don't be daft as a matter a fact I rather like that you are younger than me, it's just that in a few hours I'm flying back home to NYC. We can call each other during the week and we'll take turns flying out on the weekend. That's sweet Wesley "Abby loving slap him on the cheek" but it wouldn't work so let's just enjoy the moment okay.
   He was okay with it? Not completely and in any case, the ten thousand dollars in damages we had to pay for the room was evident enough that this could be dangerous to our health. Thousand dollars what? ... We broke a table among other things. How? Well we crash into things, we fell off the sofa, and we also broke a wall, the headboard from the bed, a lamp and some glasses. What happens next? Well, we spilled the bill for the damages to the room and went our separate ways. Okay, tell how were things with the Tessa, Tony triangle. Well, Tessa knew all along about Tony and myself so she was very understanding and it was working out great until that fateful afternoon I was at Tony's, it was around 5 pm when he came in. He had made dinner plans for us, but I had to pass on it because it was the end of my year, and that meant I had dinner plans with Sean.
Honey, I'm home, where are you? Tony, I'm downstairs in the laundry room come on down. Do we have plans for tonight? No, why? ... How about dinner tonight at Jago's? I'll love to honey but I'm afraid I already have plans that I can't break. Okay, some other night then. I'm so sorry Tony I'll make it up to you tomorrow night. All right I'll hold you to that. You do that but right now how about you bringing those gorgeous lips over here, and say hello properly. Yes, ma'am "kiss, kiss, kiss", I could get used to this. Yes but we both know what this leads to Tony, and I can't right now, look at the time I have to be going soon. Come on please, pretty please. Okay, Tony, I could never resist a man who begs but we have to cut out the foreplay and the after play. I'll take it, let's go upstairs. Why, what's wrong with right down here? Nothing I can think of.
          Tony grab Abby up into his arms and put her on the washing machine. He pushes up her skirt and rips open the front of her dress. His pants were around his ankle, and she rips off his shirt. While thrusting himself deeply into her he grasped her hips, she closed her eyes as he filled her. Her nails dug into his back, and with the surged of pleasure he yells out "I'm never letting you go". Abigail, I can't believe we just had sex on a washing machine. Well, believe it because we did, and you were great, let me take a look at your back turn around. Ha, ouch. Sliding down off the washing machine, Abby looked at her torn clothes and his on the flood. She shakes her head and sighs. At the rate we destroy clothes, Tony, we should just stay butt naked when we're home. She took his hand and leads up the stairs to the bathroom. These don't look so bad Tony. Ouch... You're such a big baby, come here "kiss". Sometimes, Abigail, I want you so much it drives me wild and I lose control, tell me baby I didn't hurt you earlier downstair? Oh darling no, you didn't hurt me far from it baby "kiss". You have the most soulful eyes of anyone I ever met and your skin is so soft to the touch. He began gently gliding his fingers along the curve of her neck, breast, and lips. It was turning her on. I have to go take that shower now Tony. Do you want me to join you? Not if I want to get out of here tonight. I'll scrub your back for you. No thank baby, "kiss".
On the freeway early evening Abby is driving on her way to go meet Sean for dinner at the restaurant when Tessa call Abby's cell. Hello? Hi, Abby, it's Tessa, I need you to do me a favor. What do you need? I need to see you right now can you drop by? But I'm on my way to Jago's for dinner... can't it wait until later or tomorrow? No, it has to be tonight, right now. Okay, I'm on my way I should be there in about twenty-five minutes bye.
Abby's black jeep pulls into Tessa's driveway, and Abby emerges. She then closes the door, straightens her clothes a little and started walking towards the house. Letting herself in with the keys Tessa had given her. Abby started calling out to her while she also looks for her. Tessa, I'm here, where are you darling? Tessa are you in there? Hi, sweetheart, I'm glad you could make it. Why didn't you answer me, didn't you hear me calling you? Yes, but I know you were coming in here next. Okay, what was so bloody important it couldn't wait you had to see me tonight? I'm in love with you. Okay, I love you too. Tessa got down on one knee pull out a ring and propose. Abby would you do me the honor of spending the rest of your life with me, and making me the happiest woman in the world. You can't do this to me, no bloody way... you know Sean and I are having dinner tonight. That is exactly why I have to do it now Abby, but don't worry you don't have to give me an answer right now, take your time and think about. (Laughs) Why is everyone so bloody giving, I just wish one of you would be demanding and then I wouldn't have to make a bloody decision? Everyone is so giving because you're very special to us Abby. (Sighs) I don't want to keep Sean waiting so I better go, "kiss" we'll talk later bye. Bye Abby, and have a lovely evening.
When Abby got to the restaurant she was about 15 minutes late. Yes, do you have a reservation? Right then walking towards her is this slightly graying, distinguished gentleman. Jago...(Cute 40-year-old, owner of the restaurant). Abigail, darling it's so good to see you, where have you been? They embrace and exchange kisses. Working hard, making a living. I'll take care of Ms. Lauren. Yes, sir. So Jago how the hell are you? Okay. How bloody long as it been since we saw each other last? Let me see I'll say it's been about a year. Wow really it's been that long, so what the devil have you been up to? Working on opening a few new restaurants. Where? ... L.A, Vegas, and Miami. That's great, I'm so happy for you. He places his hand on her lower back and guided her to the table where Sean was seated. Now Abigail when are you going to run away with me? Sweetheart, you have no idea how tempting that sounds right now. Well just say the word and I'll have a jet waiting to take us anywhere you wish to go to my dear. I'll keep that in mind, "smile and kiss". Hey Sean, I found her at the entrance. Jago holds the chair out for Abby while she kisses Sean hello. Guys enjoy your evening and dinner is on me. Thank bro.
"Sorry I'm late, have you been waiting long? No, I just got here myself, you look wonderful Lauren. Thank you, and you look good too. I hope you don't mind but I when ahead, and order us some champagne. No that's fine. Lauren, will you marry me? Right then she happens to glance up and who did she see coming towards them, Tony and an older woman. Abigail great you're here. Tony, what are you doing here? I wanted you to meet my mother at dinner tonight, but since you couldn't make it I decided to still have dinner with mom, anyway I'm glad I ran into you, mom this is the love of my life Abigail Lauren. Sweetheart this is my mother Isabella Ashley, 68. It's a pleasure to meet you ma'am, and I like you both to meet Sean Michael. It's nice to meet you too baby and you too Mr. Michael. Since we're all here this is as good a time as any, so Abigail Lauren would you do me the honor of being my wife, and making me the happiest man on the face of the earth. Abby was about to have a stroke but luckily her cell phone rang, which interrupted the moment"
Excuse me, (smile) hello. Hi, Boss, it's John. I have some news boss. No, no oh god no I'm on my way. Sorry guys, but I have to go Sean talk to you later, "kiss". Mrs. Ashley, it was nice to meet you, and Tony I'm truly sorry I'll call you soon, "kiss" bye. Abby was out of there so fast it was like a blur. She got into her jeep and sped out of the parking lot, her heart was beating so fast she had to pull off to the side of the road to calm herself down before she got onto the freeway. Abby has to be more careful about what she wishes for. Because she sure didn't want to have to make a decision tonight".
It's been about three days now since Abby talked to any of them; they are about half a dozen messages from each of them on her voice mail. So you were saved by a call? Yes Sheron, John my assistant save my butt and I'm very grateful to him for that. So have you decided which one you're going to choose? You tell me for the past three days I've written a list of pros and cons for each of them, and all I manage to do is confuse myself more. Okay, let's see what you got so far. They both when inside and upstairs to Abby's bedroom to look at the three lists of pros and cons, that's when Sheron notice the three ring boxes sitting on the vanity. Can I take a look at them? Sure go right ahead. Whoa look at these rocks, if you ever go broke you can sell these puppy and get right in the top ten richest people in the world list. Which one gave you this lovely sapphire and diamond one? That would have to be Sean, and the princess-cut Victorian-style one is Tony's. So this one with the rock of Gibraltar size diamond on it is from Tessa? Yes.
Okay, we'll start with Ms. Theresa Walker. Wait it's an even matchup between the three of them except for one thing. And what's that Abby? Sean will give his life in a NY minute to save mine. Tony challenges me intellectually and with Tessa, I feel completely safe. So tell me what Tony Ashley is like and how was living with him? Tony's the best and when I'm with him it feels right. He could always make me laugh, we have a lot of fun and he gives my brain among other things a good work out. Sounds like you're in love. Yes, he makes me happy and I like the way I feel when I'm with him. Okay now tell me about Sean Michael and what being with him is like? Sean is an angel I can always count on him no matter what and he knows me, which means he understands me, sometimes even better than I do myself. But were you happy with him Abby? God yes, when I'm with him the world outside doesn't exist. Yes, something was missing between us but I was happy. And I didn't want to be someplace else. Okay now tell me about Theresa Walker and what being with her is like? Tessa is unbelievable she knows my needs before I do and she makes me happy, but more importantly, we have these great conversations, we go for long walks together on the beach, watch the sunset and it's just heavenly, I usually wish for those moments to last forever.
Girlfriend, you have a heart dilemma like in the song. I know the song and they wouldn't by any chance be a part two to that song that tells me what to do? No, I don't think so but you can always pretend to have amnesia. Ha...ha very funny Sheron but do you think I can marry all three of them? You don't believe in marriage Abby and I think that may be illegal in all fifty-two states. I don't mean legally marry all of them and that's not against the law. So what are you going to do? I don't know yet I'm just seeing what my options are because sooner or later all of them are going to show up here. This is coming to a head and I need to have at least a few solutions for when it does. Why? ... Because an explanation from me is something Sean and Tony will be looking for. Tessa wouldn't? No, she knows everything already. Buzz, buzz, and buzz... That's the gate who could it be? Well, there is one way to find out, I'll go see. Yes, may I help you? My name is Tessa, and I'm here to see Ms. Lauren.
Abby had followed Sheron down but stayed by the foot of the stairs so she didn't hear who was at the gate. Before opening the door Sheron glances over at Abby and said: "its Tessa are you home?" She then nods her head indicating to Sheron to let her in. Come on in, Abby I'll go finish doing that thing upstairs. Thank Sheron. Hi, how are you? Fine I was about to ask you the same thing "hug". I need some fresh air so how about going for a walk with me Tessa? Fine, let's go. They held each other's hands and headed outback by the pool and on to the walking path of the well-manicured lawn.
This has gotten so bloody complicated, I can't even think straight, and I don't know where to start. Just pick a spot and start their Abby. Okay, I have a three-marriage proposal, that night after you propose to me, I met Sean for dinner and he proposes. Then Tony walk in with his mother and he proposes, so now I'm up shit creek without a paddle because I'm in love with all three of you. That is why I haven't been returning any ones call, I need more time to think and clear my head. Now that's understandable. Somehow I knew you would understand, that's why I'm glad you're here. That's nice to know. You know that I will never intentionally hurt you ever right? Of course, Abby and whichever one of us you choose, know that I'll always be here for you. Thank you "hug", I'll try to make a decision soon. Don't rush it babe; take your time it as to be right for you. You're always looking out for my best interest, now Tessa tell me if I were a married woman would you have an affair on the side with me? You want to know if you can have your cake and eat it too? Never mind, forget I ever ask.
No Abby... the question isn't if I'm willing to still see you on the side, its can you live a triple. I've been living a double for the past few months ... I don't think a triple life would be that much harder. Oh, so you don't think it would be harder, do you? Well yes. You've only been doing it for a few months, we only hang out on weekends and I'm not demanding. How are you going to convince Tony that you're spending less time with him is a good thing and then there is Sean what are you going to tell him, Abby? So I haven't figured it all out yet but I can't hurt two of you and the only other alternative is to leave NY and all three of you. You're kidding right; because you can't do that, you'll not only be hurting us you'll also be hurting yourself too and none of us wants that.
So Tessa are you saying you're willing to share me? (Giggle) You're incorrigible yes I rather have a little of you in my life always. God help me, Abby, I can't imagine living my life without you in it. I'm glad because I can't either "kiss". I miss us just going for long walks like this and being in each other arms and talking. I miss it too and its some of the things I don't want to lose (kiss). Like I said earlier Abby you're not going to lose me. Good because I don't want to.
          "I'll love nothing more than to stay here with you right now but I have to go back to the office. It's okay ... we'll talk soon, I'll walk you to your car and I'm glad you came. They hug each other tightly for a moment; then kiss each other goodbye and then Tessa got into her car. Love you, love you too. Talk to you soon babe bye. Oh, Tessa I almost forgot how did it go with your parents? It when great and I'll love for you to meet them when you have some time. Abby leans down to the car window stretch her hands in and caress Tessa's face. (Smiling) I'm so happy for you darling and I'll love to my dear. Great, let me know when you're ready. I will bye darling. Without you none of this would have been possible, so thanks from the bottom of my heart and besides I want to show off my girl. Tessa blew Abby a kiss, bid her goodbye and drive off. Abby wave to Tessa, then she watches the car go down the driveway and out the gate until it turns onto the road and vanishes, and then she went inside".
How did it go with Tessa? It was great and then again with her I didn't expect it not to be. Her photograph didn't do her justice; she is so much more gorgeous in person. I agree but I'm wondering if I shouldn't call and invite Tony and Sean over, no I'll just go over to their place tomorrow. Buzz, buzz, and buzz ... Who could that be now? Well if I'm lucky it's one of them saving me the trip of having to go to there place. Well, you can hope. Hi, Sean, "hug, kiss", come on in. Hi yourself, how are you? I'm okay. Sean meets Sheron August, Sheron meets Sean Michael. Hey, it's nice to meet you, Mr. Michael. Just Sean and it's nice to put a face to the name. I'll go take the dog for a walk, it was nice meeting you Sean. Likewise Sheron.
It must have been one hell of an emergency. Yes, it was Sean. Is everything all right now? Yes, it's okay, let go sit out there we need to talk. Yes, we do. Before we do I need to ask you how you feel about sharing me with another guy or woman? This is about that Anthony fellow proposing to you the other night right? Yes partly so what's your answer? What the hell you expect me to say? Well, you can start with whatever it is you're feeling. Hurt, betrayed, angry, you want me to go on? I understand the hurt, and even the anger but where the hell do you get off feeling bloody betrayed Sean, how bloody dare you? Of everyone you were the one person I didn't believe would ever do this to me, how could you? Hell no, no bloody way... you don't get to go on your little high horse when all of this is partly your bloody fault Sean. How is this my fault? How you asked if I do recall correctly I wasn't the one saying it's a chance I'm willing to take. Lauren, I thought I knew you but I guess I don't. But you do know me, Sean, sometimes even better than I know myself.
So what now, you don't love me anymore? I do love you Sean and I was happy with you but you couldn't accept that, why? I did and I love you too. So why did you make such a big deal about me being restless? Honestly, I needed to make sure you really wanted to be with me. Then why didn't you just ask me? I don't know, I guess I was afraid of losing you, Lauren. And you thought by letting me go you weren't going to lose me, how, tell me did I exhibit signs that I was going to leave you? No that was my insecurity. So now I have to bloody choose one of three proposals because you were insecure? Three who is the third one? Theresa, you never met her. I didn't know you were bisexual. I didn't know I was fluid either until I met her and isn't everyone a little bisexual? It's okay because there were just flings you don't love them. Oh, Sean, I wish that was the case then I wouldn't be in the predicament I'm in now. So what you're saying is that you have fallen in love with both this Theresa and Tony? Yes, and I'm still in love with you too. How can you be in love with them as well? A lot of things can happen in a year and I was never really good with casual flings, and I guess after being with them for a while my heart got invested in them.
So what you saying is that you want to be with all of us Lauren. Honestly, I'm not saying anything because I'm not sure what the hell I want at the moment. I'm still in love with you too and all the times you have stood by me and not to mention you save my life, so you know I'm not going anywhere, right? I don't want you staying with me out of some loyalty because I've helped you out with a few things. You think that's why I'm staying with you because you taught me how to better communicate with my ex-wife (Mary) or even for helping me raise Sean Jr and stop drinking. No baby, God has blessed my life with two precious gifts and do you know who those two gifts are? Is it Sean Junior and your mama? No, it's you and Sean Junior. I am? Don't you know you are the most important person in my life, I guess I haven't been doing such a good job of showing and telling you Lauren. Well I know now and that's all that matters, Sean will you spend the night? Don't you know the answer would be of course ... yes, I'd love to darling, "kiss". Excuse me guys, Abby you have a phone call. Thank Sheron I'm coming; I'll be right back. Abby follows Sheron back inside. Do you know who it is? Yes, it's Tony that why I got you. Hi Tony sorry for not returning your calls, we need to talk. Yes, we do, so I'll be there around eight. No, I'm dead tired tonight so how about if I drop by tomorrow at the house, say around noon? Yes okay get some rest, love you. Dido and I will see you tomorrow bye.
So are you seeing Tony tonight? No, I can't I just ask Sean to spend the night. Is this a fair well thing? No Sheron, it's more I haven't been with him for a year miss his thing. Okay have fun and don't break anything, and that includes body parts. Shit, what time is it? It's 5:45, we should start getting dinner ready. Yes, the chicken is ready it just has to be put into the oven, the vegetables in the white dish as to be steam and I don't know what else to make. Don't worry I'll think of something. Thank Sheron, and if you answer the phone I'm asleep or something.
          Abby then rejoins Sean in the garden. I'm sorry I took so long. It's okay I was just having a look back on some enjoyable moments we've had. Well, you don't need to because we'll have new ones. Do you promise? Abby sat down in front of Sean and he clings his arms around her so they spend the next few hours sitting outside in each other's arms watching the sunset and talking. Yes, Sean, I do. But you don't make promises. True but they are exceptions to every rule, Sean I'm going to be in your life for as long as you want me in your life, Alright. So how's Sean Junior, 21, and his mother, she hasn't been up to her old tricks? Sean Junior sends his love, and Mary been fishing around trying to find out why you haven't been around lately. I'm sorry babe I didn't mean to put you through that again, I'll give her a call if you like. No, I don't think she'll be messing with me anytime in the near future. Good because you know I would be on her ass like white on rice. Thank you but I think she got the message. Alright if you say so.
Dinner was lovely and afterward, they all watch the movie Nuts, then Abby and Sean call it a night. So they said their good nights to Sheron and when upstairs arm in arm to bed. If you want to change, your things are still in the draw. You have done some redecorating I see. Yes, do you like it? Yes, it's lovely. Sean was taking his shirt off when Abby glance at him. Thank and I see you've been doing some improvements of your own. Yes, I had to get rid of all that excess energy somehow. Good choice all the way, I thought you would like it. I do, so why don't you come on over here (Whoopee). Abby began whistling and howling as Sean walk across the room to her. Shush be quite Sheron is going to hear us. So, she already knows what we're up here doing.
So with a passionate explosion of volcanic magnitude, Sean and Abby began making love. Abby had learned from her encounter with Richard and Tessa how to let her self go freely, into the deepest rim of her fantasies where she could be very submissive in a tantalizing and disarming way. And they both reach their peak at the same time. They were always in-sink like that. Lauren, oh god Lauren yes, yes, yes, god yes, shit, aha. Aha, aha, aha say my name; yes say my name again Sean, aha yes. Whoa, that was bloody amazing, you're unbelievable, where ... how did you learn to do that? I guess I just picked it up, so you think we have enough left in us for a second round? While looking at each other, they both said no at the same time. Maybe after a little recovery time and this is really nice. What is? Lying here holding you in my arms like this. Yes, it is nice.
Abby's head was lying on Sean's chest; he was gently rubbing the lower part of her back with his left hand. She was playing with his right nipple and occasionally kissing his chest. While running her hand up and down his body, and then all the way down to his penis, lightly squeeze his balls. Hey, I know you haven't forgotten what that does to me, Lauren. No, but I also remember running my hands up and down your body did the same thing and I have been doing that for the last fifteen minutes. Yes but I'm a year older and it takes a little more gas to start the engine. An hour ago it didn't seem like that. Yes, but I had a year supply stored up. Good, then let's see if there's anything left in storage. They were rolling around and playing when Sean began tickling Abby's navel with his tongue, which made her giggle and then laugh out loud. Sean felt a warm liquid on his face, in the midst of them making love moments later.
          Are you okay? Yes, Sean, I'm fine. Then why are you crying? I'm just happy. But you're shaking honey. I know it's just my body way of saying it's happy. She is lying ... a huge tidal wave of emotions had come over her, and her fighting to take control of them is what started the tears flowing and made her body shake. Lauren, are you sure you're okay? Yes just make love to me. That will be my pleasure baby. Afterward, they both drifted off to sleep, the next morning while tossing in bed, Abby's hand landed on a note. It was from Sean he had already gotten up, still half asleep she tries to open her eyes to read the note. It said, "Hi honey wake up breakfast will be ready in ten minutes". So Abby drags her self out of bed, and while brushing her teeth she began to smell coffee, but she was no way near the kitchen, so how could she be? Good morning sleepy head I thought you could use some help opening up those beautiful brown eyes. That why I'm smelling coffee, thanks honey "kiss". Did it do the trick? Oh yes, its perfect Sean. Well come on down breakfast is ready. Okay, I'll be down in a minute. Don't take too long or it's going to get cold.
Hi good morning Abby I thought you were downstairs making breakfast. Good morning Sheron, no that would be Sean, and he's very anal about breakfast being the most important meal of the day. He is? Yes and we're late so we best get down there. Good morning Sheron. Good morning, Sean, this looks great, this is delicious, oh Sean this is excellent thank you. You're welcome and thank you, sorry ladies I hate to eat and run, but I have to be going. I'll walk you out. Bye, Sheron, it was nice meeting you. Likewise and thank again for breakfast bye. Hi, you thank for breakfast. Then Abby kisses Sean very intensely. Lauren, you can't kiss me like this when I have to go. I was just saying thank for last night and this morning. I know baby but you can't set the airplane in motion when it can't take flight, I'll see you tonight. No, I can't I already have plans. Who with that Tony fellow? No, Sean, I'm meeting him for lunch because we need to talk, but I have other plans for tonight. Call me later? Sure thing sweetheart and have a nice day "bye". Bye baby "kiss".
So Abby how did it go with Sean? He was a little set back about sharing me with another woman and or man and was about to get on his high horse until I remind him he was largely responsible for creating the whole bloody situation. Then it was fine but then in the midst of us making love for the second time last night, I suddenly started crying. Why did you? I told Sean it was just that I was happy but it wasn't. Then what was it? It was just in that moment I had this overwhelming rush of emotions that I couldn't control. Why didn't you just tell him that? We were in the middle of making love, I didn't want to stop and have an in-depth conversation so I didn't. So you're seeing him again tonight too? No, I'm going to hang out with Tessa tonight, so what are you doing today? I have to meet my new boss at 11 am so I was hoping you'll drop me off on your way to Tony's. I have a few other things to do and I don't want to leave you hanging so how about taking one of the cars from the garage Sheron? Okay if you're sure. Yes, I'm positive, and I also have a spare house key for you too. I know you so tell me what are you really up to Abby? I assure you I'm not up to anything, I'm going to talk to Tony and then I'm spending the night at Tessa that's all. Are you sure that's all? Yes, I'm sure, hey good luck today and I'll see you tomorrow, bye. Thank Abby and you too, I'll see you tomorrow bye.
Abby pulls up outside Tony's townhouse, and stayed seated in her jeep for a while, she hesitates; glancing at the door ... she's not looking forward to doing this. She ran all the possible scenarios in her head and now of then ended well, which made her somewhat afraid. She opened her glob compartment, Jago card with his personal phone number on the back fell out into her hand, it would be so much easier for her to just call Jago, then she wouldn't have to deal with any of this, but running away from her problem was never her style. Her uncle Nicolas had raised her better than that, she always faces whatever came her way, good or bad so she wasn't about to stop now. Finally, she picks up her purse and exits the vehicle, walk up to the door and rang the bell.
Hi Tony, "hug". Hey, come on in, why didn't you use your keys? I couldn't find them. Are you all right? ... I'm okay how about you Tony? I'm great now that you're here, oh baby I miss you so much "kiss, hug". What started out as a hug turns into Tony sweeps Abby up in his arms and spinning her around while kissing her all at the same time. I'm about to recreate the puking scene from "The Exorcise" if you don't put me down now. All right so were you able to take care of whatever it was from the other night, and is it alright now? Yes, its fine and I'm sorry for running out on you like that. It's okay I understand. Good because I need to talk to you seriously Tony. Why are my alarms going off in my head? I don't think it has to be bad but that depends on you, Tony. Okay, let's hear it. How would you feel about sharing me with another woman? Do you mean like a threesome? No Tony I mean I'm with her separately from you, and not all of us together so how do you feel about that? You said all why didn't you say two Abigail? Because there is a third person involved. As the words were leaving her mouth, his facial expression turns from adoring to rage. Yes so how do you feel about all of it? How the fuck do you think I'll feel, this is fucked up, what the fuck is wrong with you, how can you fucking do this to me? I didn't plan any of this Tony. Well, you sure as hell couldn't do a better fucking job if you tried.
I think I should at least try to explain this, so here goes. Sean and I were separated when I met Tessa and we started dating, a few days before I flew to L.A, Tessa and I had agreed to take a break from us, so then on the flight back we met, and I was instantly attracted to you so we began dating. Then after I got to know you I fell in love with you but I did try in my own way to discourage you, granted it wasn't very effective but I did try Tony. So I suppose to fucking thank you for that? No, but I guess hoping you'll try to see this from my point of view was too much to ask. Look I know I should have told you from the start that I wasn't completely free to love you but I fell in love with you so I kept putting it off and then it was too late. Where the fuck does that leaves us, Abigail? That's up to you, I don't want to lose but I better go now but please don't let me... Just get the fuck out here now, I don't want to see your fucking face, I can't deal with this shit right now.
Despite her somewhat grandiose act of walking away, her heart was breaking into a million pieces right at that moment, she was still hoping he'll stop her, for one thing, she's wasn't sure she had the strength to make it all the way to the door and her legs didn't feel so good either. He was too furious and hurt to care about her feeling, so with pure bullheadedness, she manages to get all the way to her jeep before falling apart. She then sped off up the street at breakneck speed with tears streaming down her face and her eyes all fog up but miraculously she made it all the way home in one piece.
Sheron came home after her first day at work she parks in the driveway so she didn't see Abby's jeep in the garage. Sheron ate dinner, did a little reading then around 9:45 she turns in for the night. Abby had stayed in her room crying herself to sleep. The next morning Sheron left for the office early, Abby stayed in bed and slept the whole day away. But as she turned over she saw that the sun was setting, downstairs Sheron had come in and couldn't wait to hear all about Abby's night when so She when upstairs and knock on Abby's bedroom door, then she let herself in, Abby's eyes all puff up from all the crying she's been doing and way across town Tony also was a complete wreck since Abby left yesterday. He couldn't sleep last night, he hasn't eaten or works and he sees her everywhere even when he closes his eyes. She's in his head and it infuriates him, so much so he punches a hole in his wall. Tony then picks up his keys, got into his car and sped off down the street.
Hey what happen, when did you get home Abby? What day is it? Tuesday... Then it was yesterday afternoon, sometime after two I think. Why didn't you call me, did you eat anything today Abby? I'm not hunger. Well, I'm betting you haven't eaten anything since yesterday morning so I'm going to go fix you something to eat and you're going to take a shower in the meantime, it will make you feel better.
Tony arrives at Abby's and Sheron let him in not knowing Abby didn't want to see him. Where is she? She's asleep. I don't believe you, Abigail where are you, I'm not leaving until I see you so come on out. After frantically looking around downstairs, he storms upstairs and burst into Abby's bedroom, closing the door behind himself to keep Sheron out. Get out or I'm going to call the police. Then call the bloody police because I'm not going anywhere. Abby are you okay? She is fine. If I don't hear her voice I'm going to call the police. Sheron, I'm alright, I can deal with him. Abby, I'll be downstairs if you need me okay. As Abby started walking towards the phone Tony grab her upper arms so hard it shook her.
Will I be needed her Tony? Look at me please... damn you look at me. No, Tony, you didn't want to see my fucking face the other day so I don't want to see yours now, just leave we don't have anything else to say to each other. You're joking, right? No Tony being with you is just a fucking disaster waiting to happen. I don't agree, I know there are things about me that I need to change and for you, I will change them. You can't change for me you have to want to change for yourself. I know and believe me I am. You see I don't believe you. Abigail, please don't give up on us I'm begging you, I can't eat, I can't sleep, I'm absolutely useless to everyone, I can't live without you, I love you and if I can't be with you then there is no reason for me to be. Don't say that Tony. I can't lose you, baby... you're my heart. So whatever you want please just don't close the door on us, "kiss". Abby still wants him, OMG does she want him... she is drawn to him like a moth to a flame. It's like an addiction, she has been down this road before and although this wrapping is different, is it enough for her to go against her better judgment and risk it all again. No stop we can't use sex to fix everything, Tony. I know we have things to work on and I'm willing to do whatever it takes but right now I'm not trying to fix anything I just want you, baby, "kiss". She couldn't fight anymore, she was like a junkie and he was the fix she needed. The sex was rougher than usual, but now she was glad it was over and she could put this night behind her.
Abby wasn't very happy with herself, she just gave into Tony like that... she's been here before. Now he began kissing her again which was giving her a flashback of those dangerous moments in her life. From the start, they had an explosively addicted relationship, which most relationship expert would classify as unhealthy. Wait... Tony wait! Yes, honey. We can't do this again you have to go. Okay, I'll go but don't think I'm giving up on us because I'm not, "kiss". After Tony left Abby went downstairs to look for Sheron. Sheron... where are you? (Hug) Thank god you're alright. Yes I'm fine but I'm exhausted so I'm going back up to bed, I just wanted you to know I was okay and he's gone so you wouldn't worry, we'll talk in the morning alright. Yes in the morning, thank you (hug, kiss). Goodnight, goodnight Abby.
The next morning Abby got up early, she needed to get some work done; she hadn't done any writing the past couple of days. Sheron was working at home today so she slept in till around nine, Abby grab a quick bite and got back to working on her book, she had a fast-approaching deadline.
Late that evening Abby and Sheron catch up in the kitchen while grabbing a bite to eat. How did your first day go with your new boss Sheron? She is okay. You did say your boss name was Mike right? It's short for Michael Elizabeth. Her father must have really wanted a son. You and Tony seem very intense last night, so you made your decision on which one you're going to choose yet? No, and I have to put it out of my mind for now so I can finish writing my book. By the way, what is the topic of your book Abby? It's mostly about the last year of my life. No way, you're joking right Abby? No, I'm not... you know the kind of books I write, they are primary base on my own life experiences, 98% of the time. Do they know what the topic of the book is Abby? They should... they are all fans of my work. Is your book going to end the same way your dilemma ends Abby? No, I'm going to let the character have her cakes and eat them too. At least then maybe someone will have it there own way. I do think you should tell them before this book is on the shelves, Abby. I'll think about it but right now I'm dead tired. So I think I'm going to call it a night and I'll see you in the morning then ...g' night.
Before you go up would you describe Sean as a nice guy or a bad guy Abby? He is most definitely a nice guy. So is Tony a nice guy or a bad guy? Okay, I see what you're getting at. Yes, Abby, you seem to have left out a few details about Tony. Yes I know he's unpredictable, he kept me on the edge but he was different. Like Mike, you do remember that almost cost you your life, Abby? Yes but I was young and out of control then, I'm not now, besides this is different, there are no jumping, no driving, no form of speeding or climbing except for over each other Sheron. Just promise me you'll be careful okay Abby. I know my Achilles' heel is that I'm attracted to bad guys but this time my eyes are wide open, so don't worry, I'll be okay and I'm glad to know you have my back. Always, girl, I got you good night Abby, sweet dreams, "hug".
Has much as Abby was tried, sleep didn't come to her easily this night. And when she finally fell asleep, she was tossing and turning so much she didn't sleep for long. Something was disturbing her rest but what could it be?
Sheron watch as Abby went up the stairs to bed then she follows moments later. Soon after she got into bed she began fantasizing about Abby walking away from Tony, Sean, and Tessa, and how she helps her move on with her life and they began dating, the two of them starts a new life together. She tried stopping herself from thinking that way because she didn't want to risk losing a thirty-three-year-old friendship, and she's not sure she wants to. But in her heart, she thinks it would be worth the risk, and then she had a flashback to the kiss they share. God, that kiss was unbelievable it was like if she's there now... she can still feel it. Abby's lips on hers and her pulse racing, it's making her hot all over. She can't breathe and her heart just stop. She couldn't let Abby know what she was feeling but she didn't know how much longer she could get away with keeping this a secret from Abby either.
Abby is still tossing and turning in bed. Something is worrying her, she's not even conscious of what it is. It's 4:30 am, Abby is running on the treadmill as fast as her legs will go, she's unknowingly running from something. She got less than two hours of sleep last night, and still, she doesn't know what kept her up all night long. She started speeding up and her leg cramp up, so she got off the treadmill only to fall to the floor. Lying on the floor reeling in pain she tries to figure out what could have kept her up the whole night. Abby thought maybe her deeds were catching up with her or she's worried about the book but she doesn't think so. Nothing else came to mind so she still doesn't know what it could be. So she should just give up. Its 6 am now, its been almost an hour now she's lying on the gym floor. Abby could hear Sheron calling out to her in the distant but getting closer. Sheron had past Abby's bedroom and the door was open so she knew Abby was already up and somewhere downstairs.
Abby where are you? Sheron, I'm in the gym. Oh my God, are you all right, Abby what are you doing on the flood? I'm fine... I just forgot to stretch, so my leg cramps up. Let me help you release some of the tightness in that leg, Abby. Sheron began massaging Abby's thigh in an upward direction. This feels great Sheron, where did you learn to do this? This trainer I used date taught me. Well, I'm glad he did, thank you. Sheron started fantasizing about Abby again, and her hands stray up to Abby's private area. Whoop! Sheron, hey Sheron... it must be one hell of a daydream but I at least get dinner before that move. Oh god, I'm so sorry Abby, I didn't mean to. "Abby couldn't stop Laughing", the look on your face Sheron is priceless. Relax and don't worry about it, my leg feels much better, thank you. Let me help you up. I'd appreciate that thank, Sheron. How does it feel Abby? Still a little tight but better. I'll give it another rub down later if you like. Yes, I would... thank you, let us go get some breakfast girl.
Abby what were you stressing over... we both know you don't forget to stretch. Alright, I didn't really sleep last night. Did you do anything different over the last few days Abby? I just told Tony and Sean about each other. And how do you feel about that Abby? I wasn't really afraid when I told Tessa and Sean but when I told Tony I was prettified. Why were you prettified Abby? Maybe because I have more history with the two of them, I knew them longer and I could kind of gauge what the reaction would be but Tony I didn't really know that long. Well, that's understandable Abby. So what are your plans for today Sheron? I'm working at home this morning and then I'm going to the office at one o'clock, how about you? I have to run a few errands, then I'm going to Tessa's and I'm spending the night there. Well have fun and I'll see you tomorrow Abby.
After running her errands Abby when to Tessa's, she let herself into the house and then she proceeded to take a shower... she prepared dinner for the two of them. It was around seven pm when Tessa came home... she opens the door and was greeted with the wonderful aroma of chicken baking. Abby are you here darling, where are you? I'm in here Tessa but stay there I'll come to you. Hi baby "kiss" this is a wonderful surprise, Abby. I'm glad you like it. I love your surprises Abby but something smells really good what are you cooking? Dinner would be another twenty minutes, and there is a bubble bath waiting upstairs with your name. So why don't you go on up and enjoy it, and I'll come and get you when dinner is ready. "Smile" okay baby" kiss".
Tessa went upstairs to her room where she was happily surprised by the trail of a bunch of roses peddle leading all the way to her bathtub, full of bubbles, surrounded with a lovely array of lit aroma candles. Downstairs Abby was watching the end of the Yankees game, while she waits for the chicken to finish baking. After she took the chicken out she went upstairs to get Tessa. Dinner was delicious and the conversation was lovely. How was your bubble bath? It was great I enjoyed it but it would have been better if you had joined me and I really appreciate all of this, thank you so very much Abby "kiss s sss". You're welcome always babe. They had a few glasses of wine in front of the fireplace along with a nice relaxing after dinner conversation. Which was followed by a lovemaking out session that went on for hours? It started out very slow and tender, but as the night went on it got more intensive and somewhat poetic, it was just a lot of foreplay, it was like they were getting reacquainted with each other bodies.
Abby, that's your phone, aren't you going to get it? Okay, I'll be right back. Hello! Hi, boss its John your agent been looking for you all day you should call her. No I know what she wants, she gets like this every time I have a fast-approaching deadline, but thank for the heads up anyway, John. Bye boss. Hey, where did we leave off? Right here baby..." kiss". Several hours later they were laying in bed, in each other's arms. Abby teasingly biting Tessa's lips. (Playfully) Come here, you little devil. (Smiling) No. I'm going to eat you all up. (Giggling) Aha...okay Tessa, I give. After playfully rolling around in bed, they made love. With their blood already pumping climax wasn't so far off but they hold it off for a while. So twenty minutes later when depletion of oxygen forces them both to stop and catch there breathes. They looked at each other and smile, realizing what they would be losing. Oh, Tessa, I don't ever want to lose this feeling. Me neither baby, you get more inscribable every time, I can just kiss you all day long. So what are you waiting for? That smile ''kiss, kiss, kiss. What are you doing for the next hour or so? (Giggle) Not what you think Tessa. What do I think? Well I'm here next to you naked as the day I was born there is only one thing you're thinking about darling and it's not going to happen. Why not? Because for one thing I'm famished and aren't you usually sleeping after the second round?
          Abby got out of bed and scans the room for her clothes but there were nowhere in sight, so she put on a robe that was on a chair in mid-stride. You even make putting on that robe sexy, is there anything you can't make sexy? I don't know you tell me. I much rather show you, so why don't you come on over here and see. No thank but I'll bring you back something to eat what would you like? I'll have whatever you're having. Okay, I'll be right back. Just come over here for a minute before you go. What's the matter, Tessa? You... are you okay? Yes, I am fine, are you? I am but you look worried so what's on your mind? Abby had to ponder the question for a while, so she sat on the edge of the bed looking into Tessa's eyes for a moment, it wasn't very long but it felt like hours because the silence was so defying. I don't want to hurt any of you but I haven't fugue out how not to hurt anyone yet so I don't know what I'm going to do, but whatever happens, I want you to know I truly love you Tessa and you're very important to me. I know that and I feel the same way too, don't worry it's all going to turn out fine baby.
Abby got some fruits and a bottle of wine. That fine, so how long have you known Sheron? Since I was three, why are you jealous? No, should I be? Definitely not darling and besides Sheron doesn't swing like that, take a bite of this. Abby was hand feeding Tessa pieces of fruits. But she does and she's in love with you. Get out of here, she does not, I've known her all my life, I think I would know if she did. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about. How? I saw the way she looked at you; I know that look because I look at you the same way. You do, let me see it. No, I can't. Come on, pretty please babe. All right, I will. Oh, you're so adorable, come here "kiss, kiss, kiss". Aha, aha, aha, oh shit baby, yes, yes, yes, aha, oh god baby, yes, yes, yes, yesss.
Sheron are you home? Yes, I'm in the kitchen Abby. Hi girl. Hi yourself I think I came up with why you couldn't sleep the other night. You did? Yes, I think you believe you're more in love with Tony than you are with Tessa and Sean? But I'm not Sheron. Of course, you're not Abby but subconsciously you believe you are that's why you could sleep the other night, even though you don't love Tony anymore than you do Sean and Tessa. That's sound logical, thank Sheron. Well now that's all settled, how about some eggs Abby? Are we talking about Sheron's famous eggs? Yes, here you are, Abby. Thanks... you don't know how much I miss your eggs. Aha yes, I'm in heaven; I didn't realize how famished I was... I hope you made enough for me to have seconds Sheron. Seconds and thirds, I didn't realize how much you miss eating my eggs or else I would have made them sooner for you. It's alright better late than never, and as famish, as I am making enough for thirds was a great idea, Sheron. You remember back in college when we were so broke that month all we had was four dollars between us, Abby? Yes I do and we bought three dozen eggs, and cook them every which way known to man, yes that's how we came up with Sheron's famous eggs; we were so tired of eating it all the other ways that we began experimenting. Yes after eating eggs for almost 30 days, I didn't think I would ever eat eggs again; and I did stop eating them for five years. Me too Abby, thank God your uncle Nicholas had sent you that check, I didn't think I could have gone another day eating only eggs. Yes, uncle Nicholas was always great at saving our ass like that. You said it Abby and that was the last month we spend our month allowances without budgeting it first. Yes, those were the good old days Sheron. No those were great old days Abby. I wonder if in about 15 to 20 years from now we'll look back on these days and think they are great too. Yes, I think we will Abby. "Smile", I do too.
What's your day like tomorrow Abby, because I could get us tickets for the Yankees games for tomorrow or Saturday night? Well I have to work on my book and it's the anniversary of uncle Nicholas death tomorrow, and I usually take a drive out to the cemetery, I take fresh flowers to place at his graveside, and catch him and my parents up on my year and stuff like that, so get the ones for Saturday night Sheron. Okay, Saturday night it is then. So what time are you going tomorrow Abby? Around three o'clock I guess, and what will you be doing the whole day tomorrow? Some reading at home, I have this book I'm editing at the moment, reply Sheron. Hey, how about that leg massage you think I can get it now? Sure thing Abby, just give me a few minutes. Good, I'll go grab a shower so I'll see you upstairs. Sheron did the dishes and Abby when upstairs to take a shower. Sheron massage Abby's leg and then they both did some work on their book before calling it a night.
The next day Sean and Tony arrive at Tessa's earlier that afternoon. Hi, Sean, I'm glad you agree to meet us. It's okay, so Tony have you met Theresa before? No, I've only talked to her on the phone. Let's go in and get this over with man, go ahead and ring the bell, Tony. Okay, relax I'm ringing the bell.
Across town, Abby black jeep stops at a corner and she calls out to the street peddler standing there with a cart of roses. Hello ... how much for your roses? Ten dollars for a dozen and I'll even throw in a free air fresher for your jeep, replied the street peddler. I'll take two dozes, the red ones over there and the yellow and white one right down there "these the Street peddler asked pointing at the one on the bottom row", yes, "this bunch right down here in front"? Yes ... thank you, here you are. No thank you and drive carefully. Abby throws him one of those patterned million-dollar smiles of hers and drives off. At the cemetery moments later Abby emerges from her jeep. She picks up the roses and her purse from the passenger seat turns and began walking down to her uncle's grave. Her parent's graves are right there next to her uncle's she then put a mixture of the red, white and yellow roses in each of the vases.
          Hi mom, hi daddy, Hi uncle... I wish all of you were still here with me, my life is a bit of a mess right now and I think I might be screwing it up big time. I would ask for advice but I can see you all saying listen to your heart baby, you would think after all the years I've been coming here I would have learned how to stop crying by now. She pauses for a moment and then said good-bye to her family, kisses her hand and then places it on each of the headstones. She walked back up to her jeep and got in, lead her head back to compose herself for a few minutes. Then she slowly drives off.
Tessa opens her door to greet Tony and Sean. Hi there, the two of you much be Mr. Michael and Mr. Ashley, come on in and sit down, make yourselves comfortable. Can I get you guys anything to drink? Tony reply, "No thank you, let's just get started". Sean said, "are you two really sure about this because this can really piss Lauren off, and we don't know what she would do if she gets angry". Yes, I hope one of us know what we're doing guys, "reply Tony". That's true but it's a chance we'll have to take otherwise at least two of us is going to lose her forever. Or is two of us planning to give her up for good, Tessa quickly added? No, but she doesn't want to hurt any of us. She would rather leave and hurts us all including herself than hurt one or two of us. And the one thing we all want now is to be a part of her life. Tony chime in, well okay then back to more important things, how are we going to get her over here? Don't worry I'll take care of that right now, "Tessa said". She's not home I got the machine, let me try her cell it's ringing.
Abby, it's Tessa. Hi Tessa, what's up; is something wrong, are you okay? No Abby ... its nothing like that I'm fine, I just need you to drop by right now. As the last sentence made contact a sense of something about to happen crawled over Abby skin. The last time Tessa wanted her to drop by like this, she proposes to her maybe she shouldn't go. "Abby please." Reluctantly she agreed. Actually, I'm about ten minutes away from your place so I'll see you in a few. Thank Abby see you soon. She hoped this unease feeling gliding over her nerve endings was just a side-effect from Tessa's call but experience had taught her to better prepare herself for the unknown, good or bad. Tessa hangs up the phone and turns her attention back to Sean and Tony. Well, she is about ten minutes away from here, and she is on her way. So we're all in agreement right, "said Tony". Yes... let just hope she is too, "reply Sean".
Tony said, "Yes let's hope she is".God I know I've asked you for many things over the years but I'm begging you for this one, please don't let her walk out of my life forever. Then Tessa chimes in. Tell me if I'm being nosy but you seem to have more at stake here than love Sean. "Yes she save my life in more ways than one, being with her made me a better man, a better father to my son and to her a better lover, friend, husband to be and overall a better human being". Tony added I get what you're saying Sean having her in my life inspired me to want to be a better person that is more worthy of having her love and how about you Tessa? Yes, I know what you're saying she inspired me to be the best authentic me I could be which made me love her even more.
There's a key turning in the door, "Tony said". That would be Abby letting herself in. Okay, guys, this is it, "Tessa said". I'm here, where are you? Abby, I'm in the living room. Hey, what the hell is going on here guys? We've been talking, and we've made some decisions, "Sean said". Oh, really what about? Who is going to be with you, "Tessa reply"? I see so which two are out, and which one is in? Well, you see that's not exactly it Lauren we have all decided that we're willing to share you, "Sean said". I see and how exactly is this going to work? You'll live with each of us for four months each "Tony reply". So Abby said thanks, got up and started walking towards the door, they all got up to go after her but Tessa suggested she should go and they agree so she then grabs Abby's hand to stop her from walking out the door.
Abby one darn minute you can't just walk out on us without telling us your thoughts on this. Why you didn't fracture in me just walking out in your decision? Abby, what's the matter with you? I don't bloody well appreciate other people making my decisions for me. Abby that's not what we were trying to do honest but you so much as told us you wanted to be with all of us and this your chance to do that so why not take it? "Laugh" Take my chance, what makes you think I want to give up my freedom like this Tessa? You're in love with us and you don't have to give up anything, you're afraid to try. Tessa, I've never been afraid of anything in my life and I'm not now, Abby who are you kidding? I'm not afraid.
Abby, sometimes you're so infuriating I must be crazy because God I'm in love with you. Maybe I am and maybe you're crazy but am I ready to live a double life permanently, I don't know Tessa. Double don't you mean triple? No, I broke up with Tony. I'm the sorry baby but you're in love with him, what happens? It's a long story and someday I'll tell you, but he's bad for me. And although I'm in love with him it doesn't mean we're good for each other. Just try being with Sean and me for a year please Abby. I've been selfish and unfair to all of you and I don't want to keep being that way Tessa, no you're wrong baby we are the selfish ones so don't you go blaming yourself for any of this, you're sweet Tessa but that's not true. Yes, it is I've been talking to these guys and believe me they don't see you as selfish Abby far from it. I hope you're right Tessa. Well, I am right and it's all in the past now so it's no used crying over spilled milk. I guess you're right but I can't shake this feeling that I've been unfair to you guys. Well, you weren't and anyway you don't have an unfair bone in your body babe. Okay, maybe I'm just feeling guilty. You've done nothing to feel guilty about Abby... so you're leaving? I'm too weak to walk away and I don't know if I'm strong enough to stay, so you see it's all up to faith now Tessa. Okay but we are willing to take the chance, it's your decision so you can walk away or you can come back in and give yourself a chance for unlimited happiness, "kiss".
Tessa then turns and walk back into the living room, leaving Abby to decide what she was going to do. She's right it is my decision... its Abigail's Buffet. She started walking towards the door again but hesitated and began to turn as if to walk back into the living room only to stop in mid-turn.
Sheron and Abby were sitting on the sofa in the living room laughing and talking in a friendly and playful manner. Then Abby felt as if she was going to be sick, the alcohol and ice cream wasn't such a good mix. "Sheron looks like she was miles away, she was fantasizing about Abby coming home, walking into the living room drop herself down onto the sofa, laying her head back and close her eyes. She's heartbroken after she broke up with Tony, Sean, and Tessa. She feels alone in the world but Sheron is there to comfort her. Abby thinks her life is over now and she destining to be alone for the rest of my life. But Sheron reassures her that wasn't true and confesses that she's in love with her. She then leans in and kisses Abby, and she responded with slow, long, leisurely kisses. And with each kiss, Sheron's heart began to beat faster and harder. It's like the earth is moving under her feet, and she can't contain her emotions anymore, her heart is about to burst right out of her chest. She then professes that she was Abby's forever and how lucky she is to have Abby in her life".
Sheron had the silliest look on her face now, her lips were puckered up and she was leaning in towards Abby. Sheron... Sheron are you, okay girl, why are you looking at me like that, do I have something on my face? Don't tell me you had another one of those daydreams... they must be bloody good. Yes, no, what were you saying? Nothing really big just that the alcohol and ice cream wasn't such a good mix. Oh, so did you go back in or did you leave, come on tell me what did you do? Well I'm in love with all of them so it was a very tough decision, (sigh) I'm so tired I think I'll call it a night and go on up to bed now, I'll see you in the morning and we'll continue this then okay, sweet dreams. {Abby turn and walk off towards the stairs and although she was in a mischievous mood she was looking forward to going to sleep tonight, consciously and subconsciously nothing is worrying her tonight}.
Abby is this payback for me not telling you for a few days I slept with Tommy Johnson back in college? No ... that didn't even cross my mind girl I'm just tired that's all. Abby wanted to look back to see Sheron face expression, but she was afraid if she did her own expression would betray her and Sheron would know she was pulling her legs. Abby come on you're kidding right? No I'm going to bed I didn't sleep last night and I had a long, long day and since there's nothing on my mind to keep me up tonight I'm having an early night. But I don't think I would be able to fall asleep not knowing what you did, you'll never know if you don't try Sheron you might be surprised. Okay but if I'm still awake at midnight I'm going to come and wake you up. Okay... good night Sheron, good night Abby and sweet dreams. Sheron was somewhat baffled but she went up to bed and try to go to sleep anyway.
It was after midnight and Sheron was wide awake. She couldn't stop thinking about Abby or get her out of her head. Sheron got out of bed and went into Abby's room she had to confess everything to Abby if she was ever going to sleep again. Abby was asleep on the far end of her bed, Sheron climbed into Abby's bed and lean over her, Abby woke up. What's wrong? Sheron are you alright? No, I'm not, what's the matter? I can't keep this to myself anymore. Okay tell me, I've been in love with you ever since we were back in college and I can't go on pretending I'm not anymore. No you not in love with me I can't have anyone else being in love with me, no not you. Abby got out of bed and step back away from the bed.
Don't walk away Abby I need you, please I want you, I've always needed you and I'm in love with you. Don't you understand I'm not good for you-you can do better? People that get involved with me get hurt. I love you and I don't ever want to see you hurt especially by me. Please let's just forget this ever happened I'm begging you, Sheron.
You never wonder why my relationships never work out because none of them was you. I only ever wanted you, Abigail, please.... please make love me, I need you to.
So that's the story doc, now tell me why is it I seem to be incapable of being with one person doc? Why is it you think you are? Isn't therapists supposed to help you understand yourself better? There is a logical reason why you're doing this. Look doc lets stop all these mind games and just tell me am I just being a selfish bitch? It may seem that way but there's a more reasonable explanation behind your behavior. Like what for instance doc? Well, there is always a chance that none of these people are right for you but they all possess a few of the qualities you're looking for in one person and that is why you believe you're in love with all of them. Or you may just be looking to replace the family members you have lost. These are just a few ideas of what the reason could be but to narrow it down to the right one more time is needed, Abigail. Okay, same time next week then doc? Yes ... bye, Abigail.
Abby didn't turn around or even break stride, she just did an over the shoulder wave good-bye and head out the door. Abby emerges from the front of the office building, got in her jeep, pulls away and heads off into the distance.

YEAR END!
