Day Fifty-Eight…
~~*****~~
[ At the Camping Site… ]
Abigail and Dave started putting up a tent. They often do this every time they hang out together. The two had their own world, not caring about others. They truly missed each other.
But aside from catching up together, Abigail had another purpose for spending time alone with Dave. She promised her sister that she would help her when it came to Nathan. Though Jane didn't ask her to do this, she just wanted to do something for her.
'I need to show Nathan that the man I love is Dave. I hope he will eventually give up on me and he will take notice of my sister.' Abigail thought to herself.
She wasn't so expressive in front of other people since she and Dave were used to hiding their relationship from the public. But now, she was acting differently.
"Abi, do you think it's best to mingle with others than to spend our time alone? We came here as a group. We should join others," Dave shared his thoughts when he was done setting the tent up. Abigail was sitting in front of him.
"It's fine. We came here to enjoy ourselves. Besides, others have different interests from us. Aiden and Cherry went for a hike. I can't do that since I am still recuperating. My sister is with Ethan." Abigail reasoned out.
But Dave was thinking about Nathan. He knew that Nathan also wanted to spend time with Abigail. However, as long as the two of them were together, Nathan couldn't get the chance to be with Abigail.
Of course, Dave was happy because Abigail chose to be with him. But part of him was feeling sorry for Nathan. He could understand his feelings because he experienced them before.
Nathan did so much for Abigail. Dave acknowledged that. So as much as possible, he didn't want to be ungrateful.
"I think we should invite Nathan and others to join us here…" Dave suggested.
Abigail pouted her lips when she heard that. "Why? Don't you want to be alone with me?" She put on a pitiful face, feeling a little bit upset.
Dave didn't mean to ruin her mood. "No. It's not that. I'm sorry. Don't be mad." He apologized right away. He could understand why Abigail relied so much on him. Abigail couldn't remember others so she was so distant from them including Nathan.
'Fine. I shouldn't force her. She is still recuperating.'
"If you are truly sorry, then hug me!" Abigail demanded.
Dave could only let out a soft chuckle before complying with her request. He walked at the back and hugged her from behind. He even planted a soft kiss on her head.
"There… Happy now?" Dave asked her softly.
Abigail bobbed her head, holding his arms that were wrapped around her body. They were in that position when Abigail saw someone from a distance.
'It's Nathan!' Her eyes gleamed as soon as he recognized the guy slowly approaching them. An idea popped up in her head.
Without further ado, Abigail broke free from Dave's embrace and she turned around to face him.
"What's wrong?" Dave asked her in confusion. He was about to glance in Nathan's direction when Abigail grabbed his head, blocking his view.
"Dave, I love you," she mumbled before capturing his lips.
Dave could only welcome her soft lips, brushing his. He closed his eyes and grabbed her waist, pulling her body closer to him. Abigail didn't restrain herself as she deepened the kiss further, clinging to him tightly.
Abigail was kissing him aggressively. She bit his lower lip, urging Dave to part his mouth. When he did, Abigail thrust her tongue inside his mouth, exploring and seeking his tongue. The two were so engrossed with each other's lips, ignoring Nathan's presence.
Without breaking the kiss, Abigail pushed Dave toward their tent. She rashly unbuttoned Dave's shirt. Abigail was aware that Nathan was watching them.
Nathan, on the other hand, didn't know whether to run away or break the two from each other. He just stood there, watching the two as they shared a very passionate kiss. Dave and Abigail were clearly making out in front of him.
Different emotions surged up in his heart– anger, jealousy, and shock. He clenched his fists tightly. He could no longer bear to see his woman getting intimate with another man. It broke his heart. Anger consumed him completely. With bloodshot eyes, Nathan lost his control.
Instead of running away, he decided to interrupt and break those two. He wanted to beat Dave from too much jealousy. However, before he could run in their direction, someone stopped him.
"Nate!" Jane grabbed his elbow tightly. She could feel Nathan's anger. She could see it on his face. He looked like someone who was going to kill someone.
"Let go!" Nathan ordered her with his firm and authoritative voice.
But Jane shook her head stubbornly. "No. Otherwise, you will do something you will regret later."
Nathan gritted his teeth. He tried removing her hand but she didn't let go. Feeling impatient, Nathan grabbed Jane by her neck using his right hand and pushed her onto the tree. He was furious!
Jane couldn't breathe. Nathan was strangling her so hard. "N-Nate…" She didn't want to hurt Nathan but he was not in his usual self at this moment.
She was about to kick him and twisted his arm but Nathan suddenly let go, realizing that he was choking Jane.
"Cough! Cough!" Jane rubbed her neck and tried to catch her breath. When she looked at Nathan, she felt relieved since he finally calmed down.
Nathan didn't know if he should say sorry to her. But he couldn't bring himself to say the word. In the end, Nathan turned around and walked away. He was heartbroken and in pain. If Jane hadn't stopped him, he should have made a scene in front of Abigail, fighting Dave.
Jane could only watch him as his figure drifted away from her sight. Her heart ached for him as well. She saw the pain and sadness in his eyes a while ago. Nathan was clearly hurt by the scene he witnessed.
'Abi… I don't know if I should feel grateful… but seeing how Nathan is hurt like this… I can't be happy with this.' Jane felt sorry for Nathan. She sat on the ground and closed her eyes. She wished to ease the pain in his heart but she didn't know how.
