Gasping for air, Abigail suddenly sat up from her sleep and screamed the name "Lucky" as she held her chest, breathing heavily.
The movement she made along with the scream awoke Lucky, who sat up and hugged her, placing her head on his chest, even without knowing what happened. He was sure she just had a bad dream.
"Shh, it's okay, I am here," he comforted her, gently patting her hair and wiping away the tears on her face.
"Lucky, please don't leave me, no matter what. Promise you won't leave me. I don't want you to," she pleaded, sobbing hard on his chest.
"No, I won't. I promise I will always be with you. I never even think of doing that in the next hundred years. Don't worry, I will never leave you," he promised, snuggling her closer to him.
"Are you sure? I don't want to lose anyone anymore. I've seen more than enough death of my loved ones. I don't want the same thing again. Please don't ever leave me, no matter what. Don't... don't do it ever," she continued to plead, which actually made Lucky confused. What kind of dream did she have to make her scared and fearful to this extent? He had never seen her like this before.
Not wanting to ask about the dream anymore, he just kept patting her hair, trying to make her fall asleep.
"I promise you I will never let you go, never," he assured. When she finally fell asleep, he lay down and had her lie on his chest, using the duvet to cover them. Staring at the ceiling above, the thought in his mind was what type of dream she had to make her say all those words. Did he betray and leave her in the dream? He didn't know.
Putting all those thoughts aside, he placed his hand on her back, rubbing it gently, and he didn't even know when he also fell asleep.
The next morning, Lucky was the first to wake up while Abigail was still sleeping. He took his bath and prepared breakfast for both of them. When he finished eating and dressing up, he then went to Abi, pecked her on the cheek, and rubbed her neck down to her shoulder, which made her open her eyes slightly and smile.
"Good morning, darling. How was your night? I've prepared breakfast for you, and it's in the warmer. Whenever you are ready to eat, go take it there. I have some meetings to attend, so I have to go to work."
"Mm, okay. Drive safely, and come back soon, okay?"
"Yeah, I will be back pretty soon. See you later." Pecking her on the head and kissing her lips, he left for work.
