Unbreak (GirlxGirl) (Lesbian)

Ch. 18

What the fuck? Gabby thought to herself. What is he doing here? How did he find me? Panic rushed into her body. She didn't know what to do nor to say to her husband. Yikes, that sounded so ew to her ear right now even though this was her life, the reality.

"S-Steven." Gabby stuttered.

"Gabby." Steven suddenly hugged her.

Her boddy stiffened, she didn't even hug her husband back. The memories came into the edge of her mind. His abusiveness, his drunken state and his cheating was only on Gabby's head.

"How did you– How did you get here?" Gabby asked after Steve pulled away.

"I'm so sorry, baby." Steve kissed Gabby's cheek, ignoring her questions. "I promise I'm not going to hurt you again. Please, give me a chance."

Gabby looked around. She invited Steve to sit in the coffee shop nearby. She carried Allie and sat across from her husband. She ordered a water and some snacks while Steve was busy fidgeting his fingers. What's wrong with him? Gabby asked herself.

"Steve?" Gabby called Steve, she placed her hand on top of Steve's.

Steve looked up to see what he had missed the most in life, his love, the mother of his daughter. "I'm sorry."

Gabby's heart sank, this was the first time Steve showed her his vulnerable state. She didn't know whether to believe him or she didn't because he was unexpected.

"How did you find me?" Gabby asked again.

"I was looking for you for three months. You said you were visiting your sister and I thought it was okay, maybe you missed her." Steve started. "But then I felt empty. I came home and no one was around, I missed Allie's voice, I missed you. I missed everything about you and I missed us."

Gabby kept quiet, Steve continued. "I know I've made a huge mistakes. I'm an asshole, I'm a jerk, I'm a douche, but I do love you, Gabe. I fucking love you."

There was it, the only one who called her 'Gabe' and it brought her memories of her high school moment when she was in love with this guy.

"I knew it was you when you picked up Allie from school. Do you live with your sister now? How in the hell didn't you tell me that Ally is in school?" Gabby was surprised Steve didn't get angry. "But it's okay, I know your reason and I didn't blame you at all. I tailed you and it was true, it's you and Allie, my baby girl."

Gabby tried to comprehend of what just happened to her. "Does that mean you live in this town too?"

"Yes." Steve smiled, Gabby's heart sank again. "I got a job, not a decent job but at least it's okay to stay alive."

"Good for you." Gabby tried to smile. No, it can't be happening. She said to herself. There's no way in hell I live with Jordan if Steve is here too. It's a disaster.

"I want you to come home with me." Steve said.

Gabby glanced at Steve almost immediately. Oh fuck, what now? "I-I can't. I'm sorry."

"Why? You're still my wife, Gabe. I'm your husband." Steve said way much calmer. "I've changed, baby. I know what I've done is unforgivable but please, give me one more chance to prove that to you. I love you, baby. I love Allie. I love us."

Gabby tried to search for his sincerity and she found it. Oh god, this was her biggest dilemma. She wanted to believe Steve but she was also scared if he would abuse her again. And, she was in love with Jordan, right?

Gabby sighed, she knew she was out too long today. Jordan probably worried about her and Allie. But the memory of them had sex for the first time came back to the surface and it added her dilemma. They never had sex again after that and she started to wonder Jordan's seriousness towards her and Allie. She knew Jordan loved Allie, but loving her? Was another difficult story.
