Day Fifty-Six…
~~*****~~
Abigail stared at Nathan. She was speechless. But she could see the determination in his eyes.
'I'm not sure. Do I really love this guy? But it happened when I couldn't remember Dave. Now that I forget about Nathan, I only think of Dave. Will things change if I remember everything?'
Abigail gazed at Nathan intently. She had to admit that any woman could fall for Nathan. He was so handsome. He was rich.
But she tried to assess her feelings. She didn't feel anything for him.
"I want to be honest with you… Mr. Sparks. Dave is my boyfriend even before I met you. An accident made me forget him. After my memories return… I can say that he is the man I want to spend my life with… So please don't wait for me. I don't want to hurt you."
Nathan felt like a thousand daggers hitting his heart right now. "But you are already hurting me now. Please don't push me away, Abi. Tell me this… after you remember me. I will only accept your rejection once you recall our memories together…"
Abigail could only sigh helplessly. Nathan was stubborn. He won't give up that easily.
It did not take long before Nathan grabbed her hands. "Abi… give me a chance. Don't reject me right away… Let me show you… how much I love you."
"After so many years of giving up on love… you came to me and taught me how to love again. You mean so much to me, Abi…" Nathan expressed his feelings sincerely.
"I-I…" Abigail didn't know what to say. Nathan was making her so confused with her feelings. She felt sorry for Nathan.
Before she could say another word, Nathan pulled Abigail into a hug. He was dying to do this. He couldn't let go of her. They were in that hugging position when Dave entered and saw them.
He stopped in his spot, just watching them. He had mixed emotions seeing Nathan and Abigail together. He still couldn't stop himself from getting jealous.
But when Abigail noticed Dave's presence, she immediately pushed Nathan away. She broke free from his embrace.
"Dave!" She called his name.
Nathan felt like he had been slapped in the face. Abigail pushed him away because of Dave. 'She truly knows how to break my heart.' Nathan smiled bitterly.
On the other hand, Dave apologized to them. "I'm sorry. I should have knocked first. I didn't mean to interrupt the two of you." He forced a smile. Dave somehow felt indebted to Nathan so he didn't want to act rudely in front of him. Though he was jealous of him, Dave tried his best to keep his composure.
"No. Don't apologize. You didn't disturb us," Abigail spoke up, trying to erase the awkwardness between them. "Please, come and join us. Mr. Sparks brought me some fruits. Do you want to eat?" Abigail invited him in. She felt relieved since Dave arrived. She didn't know how she would interact with Nathan. Dave seemed to be her savior.
However, before Dave accepted Abigail's invitation, he glanced at Nathan first, asking him for his permission. It was his sign of respect toward Nathan Sparks. "May I join you, Mr. Sparks?"
Nathan clenched his fists tightly but he just nodded his head. "It's okay. I'm on my way out anyway. Just stay with her and keep her company."
Nathan conceded today. He could tell that Abigail preferred to spend time with Dave, instead of him. Just like how Dave did before, Nathan was allowing the two to have their catching up even though he was consumed by jealousy.
Nathan didn't wait for the two to speak up. He turned around and stepped out of the room with a heavy heart.
Abigail finally relaxed when Nathan disappeared. She quickly waved at Dave, motioning for him to go near her. Dave obediently followed her. He stepped with large strides until he closed their gaps. He was now standing next to her sickbed.
"What you saw a while ago meant nothing. Nathan just hugged me suddenly. I didn't give him permission to do that," Abigail immediately explained what happened, afraid that Dave would misunderstand it.
Dave just let out a soft chuckle and caressed her cheeks. "Easy. Don't be anxious. I'm not upset."
Abigail gazed at him with a serious expression on her face. She held his hands that were caressing her face. Then she made a request.
"Kiss me!"
Dave: "..."
Dave was surprised by her sudden request. "Huh?"
"I said… kiss me," Abigail said firmly, pouting her lips. She wanted to make it up to him. She kissed another guy! She was unfaithful to Dave! She was blaming herself because of that.
Dave just bobbed his head. He leaned over and planted a soft kiss on her forehead. He couldn't disobey his woman's request. But it seemed that Abigail was dissatisfied with his action.
"Not there!" She complained. "Kiss me here!" Abigail pointed her finger at her lips.
Dave was stupefied once again. He didn't know if Abigail was serious. What had gotten into her?
"Are you sure?" Dave hesitated.
Abigail bobbed her head vigorously and anchored her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her. Their faces were just inches away from each other. He could even feel her breath fanning his skin.
"Darling… kiss me," Abigail whispered to him seductively, her eyes staring at Dave's lips intently.
Dave's body suddenly reacted to her words. She awakened something inside him. The heat rushed up all throughout his body. He missed her so much that he didn't know if he could still control his desire for her.
"Kiss me… Dave… let me feel your love." Abigail mumbled once again, urging Dave to seal their lips. She was waiting for him to do the first move. She wanted to know if Dave would do the initiative.
Seeing the yearning in her eyes, the last strand of Dave's self-control was broken. Cupping her face, Dave brought his lips to hers, kissing her passionately. He felt surreal when their lips touched. He had longed for this moment to happen again.
Abigail kneaded her fingers on his hair, pulling him closer as she deepened the kiss. She wanted to reassure Dave that he was the man she liked, not Nathan or anybody else.
Abigail opened her mouth, inviting Dave to explore inside her. Her tongue and lips urged Dave to kiss her hard. And Dave responded with so much passion. His tongue sought hers, licking and sucking her as if he had been thirsty for her.
The two kissed each other as if there was no tomorrow. Abigail clung to him tightly, not breaking the kiss. She wanted to feel him more. She moaned in between their kisses and Dave bit and sucked her upper and bottom lips alternately.
Both of them were enjoying this moment of intimacy. They didn't care about anything else. Their attention focused only on each other. They only broke the kiss when they had to gasp for air. The two were panting after sharing that long passionate kiss.
Abigail cupped Dave's face and looked into his eyes. "I love you, Dave. I love you so much…"
Dave couldn't contain his happiness. He heard those words from her mouth once again.
Meanwhile, unknown to them, someone saw them kissing each other.
