If I run

Chapter 15 (Abigail)

"So if I ran right now, you wouldn't do anything?" I asked a bit disappointed but hoping maybe he would change his mind "correct" he said with that oh so famous smirk that I 'loved' "well screw you" I said throwing my shoes and grabbing my dress as I started to run, but then he caught my one free hand. "Abigail, I was joking.... I would hunt you down to the ends of the earth" he said looking into my eyes with sincerity "and if I jumped?" "I would pull you back up... but please don't test that theory" he said smiling before he whispered into my ear "little miss moaner" when I saw his face he was smiling with half a smirk "Devon told you didn't he? what else did blabber mouth tell you?" I asked extremely annoyed with Devon "he said you said things about us and that you were confused.... he also told me a little bit about a guy you used to date" he said lowering his voice my heart dropped and shattered into a thousand pieces at the mention of that "I understand if you don't want to tell me... but just remember if you run, I will find you" he said pulling me into a hug, I tried to stop the tears the best I could but, it was so hard. "I'll tell you later, just not here" I said and he nodded kissing my cheek holding me close "just do me a favor, a small little favor, right now..... tell me if you like me" he said, it seemed obvious, but as I tried to figure it out I was confused and I didn't answer, he dropped his hands from my waist and backed away "your in love with Tommy aren't you? Abigail, I could make you so much happier" he said almost begging "Tommy? Collin, Tom's gay and he's engaged to another awesome gay guy" I said laughing "then why the pause?" he asked "because, I don't know how to answer the question exactly, I may either like you a lot or just hate you enough that I love you" I said softly "ill take either one" he said kissing me on the lips, it was so perfect the lights were twinkling and there was music from down below, and then out of the blue it just started down pouring and we kept kissing "we should get out of the rain we'll catch a cold" I said mocking him "you don't honestly believe that? it's an old wives tale he said kissing me again and picking me up as I held the ginormous dresses train up, he went down the streets of Paris like he knew them and could speak French, and soon he was varying me up to my apartment and I unlocked it we walked in laughing before I stopped dead in my tracks "Mom" I said seeing the tall, skinny woman with dark hair "Abigail... your still modeling" she said in her disappointed and disapproving voice "no offense Mrs. Reynolds..." Collin started to say before I turned around and and glared at him to stay out. "Abigail, who is this boy?" she asked with interest "none of your business mom..... why are you here?" I asked "because, I realized that if I can't force you to use your talents you threw away then I might as well see if you have any grandchildren for me yet" she said and I stared at her with my mouth half open for a moment "Mom, I get it I'm not your favorite child and I 'threw away' my talent, but you have 4 other children to insult, why doesn't Oscar or Tony settle down" I said trying to be understanding but she was pushing my limit "because, Oscar is to involved in music and Tony's thrown him self into work over all these cases, Emmy says her career is just now taking off an she doesn't have time, and Maria... she doesn't even compare to you" my mother said crying "I went and watched you all this week... you know as well as I do that she can't dance very well, I don't know how she managed to get herself into the ballet with just my name.... Abigail, you would be such a pretty Ballerina" she said with tears in her eyes "Mrs. Reynolds if I may" Collin said once again I glared at him "Abigail let the poor boy speak for a moment" she said calming down "she is a ballerina" he said handing her his phone with pictures and a video, of my warm up, the tears were back in my moms eyes and she got up and hugged Collin which freaked him out. He went into another room to dry off "who is that boy... I feel like I've seen him before" she said trying to remember "Collin Kleinfeld" I said and her eyes lit up "oh, that Collin, from your high school" she said not really approving but not disapproving. "yeah that Collin" I said snapping a bit "you don't have to be so snappy with me, I haven't seen you in 3 years" she said "I'm sorry.... I didn't throw the rest of my taken away either" I said handing her my sketch pad and she flipped through it, most were of the Eiffel Tower and other land marks, but some were just simple of people in the park
"Your father and I have always been proud of you and always will be, we just thought you were throwing everything away to become a model, I'm not saying I still approve with your life style or choices in men but if your happy I'm happy" she said hugging me "I am happy" I said "good.... I'm going to leave and go make me some grand babies" she said hugging me goodbye and as soon as the door left Collin came out "did she seriously just say that?" he asked "yeah she did... Im pretty sure parents aren't supposed to say that to their kids" I said and he nodded "you know what supposed me the most was that she said she didn't like me and then told you to have sex with me anyways.... I love your mother" he said and I rolled my eyes "well come help me take this mess off" I said "that won't be a problem" he said "don't be so sure it took a couple of guys to zip it up" I said and he stopped untying the corset frame in the back "guys? as in men or as in like you guys?" he asked "as in you guys" I said reassuringly "so where's that tattoo Devon mentioned?" he asked once he finally got to the zipper part "maybe you'll have to look" I said stepping out of the dress and picking it up and throwing it in my closet , well hanging it up the best I could when Collin was on me like a leech looking me over. "I don't see it" he said wrapping his arms around my bare waist "well you may just have to look harder" I said throwing a sweatshirt on and some shorts, he was about to say something when my phone rang "hello?" "oh hi it's me again" my mom said "what do you want mom?" I asked a bit annoyed "well, we need to talk, meet me at Isabella's tomorrow at 8... and don't bring that silly little boy with you" she said "mom, if he's so silly then why did you tell me to have sex with him?" I asked confused "don't question me, ill see you at eight, don't be late" she said hanging up
"What was that about" he asked coming in and wrapping me into a hug "what's gotten into you?" I asked "what do you mean?" He asked "your all over me, and I said that I hated you" I said and he smirked "first that's not what you said and you know that very well... and there's a very thin an delicate line between love and hate, I don't believe you hate me, but that guy hurt you so you just want to believe that you hate me" he said sitting down on the couch and pulling me next to him. "I can't believe you actually trust me that much" I said and with that smirk of his he kissed me.
