Sanctuary - Side 2
Time to Reconcile
Today was purely a girls day, but I don't know how it's gonna be start seeing how last night ended. I hope things can smooth over earlier rather than later for Abby and her mom.
"What are your plans today? Without your favorite person?" she asked, looking straight into my eyes.
"Without my favorite person? I thought that was Jack."
She jokingly pushed me.
"Don't be an ass."
"Gonna spend it with the guys doing who knows what."
"Well, don't do anything I wouldn't do. Scratch that. Just be a good boy. I'll be sure to bring you home some treats."
"I will. I love you." I said kissing her.
"I love you, too."
"Have a great day with your mom. I'm sure you two will smooth things over."
She smiled.
"I will."
Her mom came out of her room and into the living room when she kissed me one more time.
"Hi honey."
"Hi, Mom. You ready for an awesome day?”
“Of course. We need this.”
“See ya tonight.” I said to Alex.
“See ya.”
My mom said her goodbyes and off they went.
After a long and fun day with my brothers, I was looking forward to seeing Abby and hearing about how her day went with her mom. I came home around ten and walked over to a pajama clad Abby and picked her up and she locked her legs around my waist.
“Hey.” I said.
“Hey. How was your day?”
“Great. Yours? Seems like you and your mom made up.”
“Yeah. She and I actually had a breakthrough before we left.”
She was extra happy when she said that.
“Really?”
“I’ll tell you about it later.”
“I love seeing you this happy. It’s what I live for.”
“Plus music.”
I let out a laugh.
“Your happiness is number one.”
She kissed me.
“I love you.” she said.
“I love you, too.” I said kissing her.
I sat down beside her toward the opposite end of the couch.
“How long’s your mom been asleep?”
“Maybe a half hour. We were watching Homeward Bound.”
“Your favorite movie as a kid.”
“Even though it brought on the waterworks. Don’t know whether or not I should wake her. She looks so cute.”
I laughed.
“I don’t think it would hurt to leave her. Grab me a blanket, please.” she told me.
Once I did, she covered her and we left the room, shutting the lights off and going into our bedroom. I quickly changed and sat beside her.
“So, tell me about your day.”
“Might as well talk about the breakthrough. She apologized for yesterday wholeheartedly. After she mentioned how happy I am, my rape and PTSD came up.”
She sighed and leaned her head back against the wall; she clearly needed a second.
“She immediately hugged me. After talking about the trial, she apologized again; this time it was about my depression and how it should’ve just come naturally to support me. She even broke down herself.”
I smiled and pulled her in close.
“So glad to hear that. That needed to happen.”
“It did and now, I’ll have my mom at our wedding.”
She was smiling again.
“Did you ladies have fun shopping? Wait... before you answer that. Did you get me any treats?”
“You could say that. You’re just gonna have to wait to get them.”
“Oh, those kinds of treats?” I asked raising an eyebrow.
I pulled her into my lap.
“Yes. Those kinds of treats.”
We just started to make out and I began lifting her shirt. She ground my hips into his, totally forgetting who was in the next room. She pulled away from me.
“We gotta stop. My mom.”
I groaned.
“You’re right.”
“Sorry, Alex.”
“Tomorrow night? Can we have it in writing?”
She laughed.
“Yeah. I’ll get a pen and paper.”
I laughed and pulled her in for one last kiss. She unhappily got off my lap and actually wrote it down.
“Wanna hear the rest of my day?” she asked as she laid her head on my chest.
“Absolutely. We did do a lot of shopping and eating. We ate at our restaurant.”
“Did you feel underdressed?”
“My mom and I changed into some new clothes in a fast food restroom.”
“No. You didn’t.”
“We did.”
She was laughing my ass off, so was I.
“You’re a riot. What’d she think?”
“She was in awe since she had never been in somewhere that nice and of me working there. She also said that 'he really pulled out all the tricks, didn’t he?'”
“Your mom is awesome.”
“And the best.”
