"Okay. Sleep well. Don't worry much. He probably found it funny so don't overthink. Love ya." With that, Abby ended the call and rolled her stomach up on her bed with a sigh while looking at her ceiling. "Frick you James. Really?" she cursed under her breath until she heard a knock coming from her window only to realize it was a person, not just any person, it was James. Just when she was thinking of him he suddenly appeared. It was quite confusing but she walked towards her window and unlocked it for James to enter which he did, he hadn't cut his hairs so his hairs were in his eyes while his eyes were glued only to Abby and her lips.
His personality seemed different than before as he looked silent than his unusual self which would never stop speaking. "What are you doing here?" She finally decided to break the silence, making James slick his hair back and smirk at her. "What do you mean what I'm doing here?" James cockily asked, making Abby roll her eyes and put on the hood of her hoodie in awkwardness. "Whatever James, not in the mood so you can leave." She replied since she still remembered what he had posted, perhaps she was a bit jealous….
"The trip to France was fun. We visited The Louvre, The Eiffel tower, Alsace villages and much more." James teased Abby. He had come here with a totally different plan but on seeing Abby all the plans and all schemes on different ways to kill her disappeared. The only thing that was left was a lingering desire to turn back time to the good old days, that was probably impossible. "Yeah, I know. I saw Instagram posts. Bla bla bla .. you had a blast." Abby rolled her eyes and avoided eye contact with James who left out a laugh and started walking around her room. "Oh I forgot to mention, I met a really sweet lady there-" Abby cut James off by speaking over him. "I've seen the Instagram posts, I already know." James turned to her and started walking to her while she pulled the strings of her hoodie making the hood cover her eyes, cheeks and chin while she let out a loud groan.
Once more a chuckle left James' mouth, which left Abby irritated. "He's enjoying this. Huh?"
"Good job James, you beat me. You enjoyed your life and got a girlfriend. You win. Bla bla… should I beg at your feet now-" she suddenly got cut off by someone's lips touching hers and it was indeed James' making her widen her eyes in her hood. His soft plump lips were now at her's starting to almost devour her lips as a whole while she was frozen in her spot as to what was happening this moment, was her ex who was her present rival really kissing her? Abby had no idea of this moment, but decided to go along with the kiss until it started getting a little breathless, making her groan.
James slowly pulled away still inches away from her face, his one arm around her waist while the other slowly removed her hood making her eyes meet James' hungry ones. "You saw my post, girlfriend eh? Do you know what I realized when I was in Paris?" James asked before pushing her on her bed and leaning in closer to her face. Abby bit her lip and looked down until she spoke, "That you are an idiot for breaking up with me?" her response made a smile appear on James' face before going near her ear. "Idiot." James' low voice made Abby punch his chest before wrapping her arms around his neck and bringing him closer to her face to peck his nose.
"Then who was that girl in your post huh?" she asked James to turn to her with a smirk. "Why? Are you jealous?" hearing James say that aloud made her push him away and walk away from him until her grabbed her arm. "Idiot. She's my friend and as far as I know she is happily taken." James response made her look down in embarrassment as everything became a bit more clear. James slowly pulled her back to sit beside him as his arms wrapped around her neck and bumped his forehead with a genuine soft smile while looking at her awkward face.
"What's with the face?" James words made Abby pull away and scratch her neck, still being awkward. "I'm not used to this… ya know? You just suddenly pop up in my window and kiss me. So it's strange." Her response made James ruffle her hair and smile but this time it looked a little saddened. "Don't think much of this, Abby. You've lost feelings for me too so it must be strange for you. I feel like an idiot so let's just make this a one time thing then hmmm?" Hearing that made Abby raise her eyebrows with confusion written all over her face. "He better have ben joking or someone would die today."
"You're not serious. What was that we were just talking about? What are you going on about when you just said that you regretted breaking up with me?" she asked, clearly confused, making James give her a confused look too. "No. I'm confused by you. Don't you have a boyfriend, Abby?" His question made her burst out a chuckle and stand up. "Me? When did you see me have a boyfriend? Did I tell you I did? James?" she defended while James stood up letting out a scoff.
"Oh please. Everyone know that you and Winston are in a relationship and Jennifer caught you both making out." He did have a point, but he only knew the half part of the story. Abby and Winston were part of another mafia that had its roots in this city. The mafia members had a rule that they could date only within the mafia. It was done for security purposes. When, Abby fell in love with James, she knew she was risking his life for her own selfish reasons. To protect him, she acted like she was dating Winston. If the members got to know that there was something between Abby and James, they would have killed him and started a war between the two most deadliest mafias of the world, resulting in many casualties. To prevent that from happening, Abby had to take this step.
She wasn't entirely enjoying this mess. Having two boyfriends, one secret whom she loved and other didn't but had to prade around like some trophy. When Winston discovered this, he beat her up so brutally that she was left with some scars that might never heal. He threatened that James shall meet the same fate. So, Abby was left with no choice but to kill him and make it look like he died on a mission. She attended his funeral and cried for him, accepted sympathy from all the members who thought her beloved boyfriend had died.
Abby broke up with James because of the same reason. She started acting strange and distant. She purposely messed up things, forgot his birthday, their anniversary and leaked out photos of Winston and her kissing. Everything was planned, just to keep him safe.
