Day Forty-Three…
~~*****~~
When Richard was done briefing Abigail, he returned to the hall to entertain the VIP guests. Ana and Santra followed him. Abigail and Dave were the only people left in the room.
Inside the room, Abigail could see the event hall. They could see the live update and what was happening in the venue. Some musicians started performing to entertain the guests. At exactly 8:00 pm, the program would start.
Abigail kept pacing back and forth across the room. She was so anxious. She felt like the real Abigail's career was at stake because of her. She felt a little bit pressured about this solo performance. What if she ended up ruining Abigail Scarlett's image?
Dave could only watch her movement. He watched her lovingly. He could understand that she was nervous but he believed in her innate talents and capabilities.
"Abi, relax…" Dave softly mumbled, grabbing her hand. He pulled her to the sofa, making her sit.
"I can't relax." Abigail promptly responded.
'This is harder than those missions I've done before as Phantomflake.' She thought to herself, biting her lower lip.
"You can do it. Let's practice. I will listen to you." Dave cheered for her.
Abigail took a deep breath. She wasn't familiar with the song. It was the favorite song of the real Abigail. It was a love song dedicated to Dave. She often sings this song in front of Dave.
But for some unknown reason, she felt uncomfortable singing the song. She couldn't give justice since she felt nothing for Dave. The lyrics of the song are full of meaning… it's about her undying love for the man… for Dave.
'No. I can't sing this song… the real Abigail can only pull it off!'
"Dave… I want to change my song." Abigail expressed her feelings.
Dave was taken aback for a moment. His expression was saddened. This song was very meaningful for both of them. And now, Abigail didn't want to sing it.
Dave was a little bit hurt when he heard that. Noticing his dejected look, Abigail tried to explain her side. She didn't mean to hurt Dave over and over again.
"Dave… don't be sad. I will sing this song only for you. I will sing it again… once my memory comes back. This song is special for both of us."
Dave's dejected look changed into a hopeful one when he heard that.
"Okay. I understand." Dave held her hands and squeezed them gently. "I will be waiting for that."
Abigail could only bob her head. "Dave, can I make a request?"
"Sure, just tell me anything." Dave was all ears on her.
"I want to practice alone… can you tell Richard that I have a new song for this performance?" Abigail couldn't concentrate in his presence so she gave him a task to relay her message to Richard. She also chose the song she loved as Phantomflake.
"Okay. I will just be back before your performance. I'll fetch you and escort you to the venue." Dave gently patted her head as he stood up. He smiled at her one last time before he left the room.
Abigail exhaled deeply. She scanned her phone and searched for the song she was going to sing for tonight's solo performance.
'I can't imitate Abigail's previous performances… but I will do my best to impress them for her sake.' Abigail, or rather Phatomflake, was so determined to give a nice and pleasing performance for the sake of the real Abigail.
"I can do this!" She reminded herself.
Abigail began to practice her song performance but she was interrupted when she heard the ringing sound of the doorbell.
Ding! Dong!
Abigail frowned as she glanced at the door. She wondered if Dave had forgotten something, that's why he came back.
Abigail walked toward the door to open it. As soon as the door was opened, a figure dashed inside, holding her body. Before she could react, Abigail heard the sound of the closing door and her body being pushed into it.
Bam!
Thud!
She was about to retaliate and fight back when her eyes met a pair of familiar blue eyes.
'Nathan?!' Abigail recognized the intruder.
Abigail froze in her spot. She blinked several times to make sure that her eyes were not pranking her. She wasn't imagining Nathan, was she?
Abigail didn't expect to see Nathan in this hotel. She was about to ask him why he was there when suddenly Nathan sealed her lips with his lips. He kissed her!
Abigail: "..."
Abigail was caught off guard once more. Nathan was giving her one shock after another.
She could feel his hungry mouth crushing her lips. He was kissing her passionately!
'Damn it! I can't resist him.' Abigail could only close her eyes and she began responding to his kiss. Nathan's hands were cupping her face as he deepened the kiss.
Nathan failed to control himself. He was not supposed to show himself in front of her. But he ended up ruining his own plan.
When he saw them a while ago, Nathan decided to follow them. He was like a stalker. Nathan didn't expect that they would go in a suite instead of proceeding to the venue.
He became curious as to why the five of them entered the room.
They stayed there for a long time. Nathan got impatient waiting outside. But he made sure to conceal his presence. He became more impatient and uneasy when Richard, Ana, and Santra came out of the room, leaving Dave and Abigail inside.
He had the urge to barge in and find out what they were doing inside. But his pride and ego stopped him from doing it. But deep inside, he was already jealous while having wild thoughts about Abigail and Dave.
Finally, when Dave stepped out of the room, Nathan didn't waste his time. He rang the doorbell as he was dying to see Abigail.
The moment Abigail opened the door, Nathan's body just moved on its own accord. His desire for her won over his self-restraint. Without a second thought, Nathan captured her lips with a heated passion in his eyes.
