Confessions of An Ice Girl

Chapter 20-

Chapter 20-

I stared blankly at my cup of coffee, "Penny for your thoughts, Abby?" Josh, my co-worker/cubical neighbor said peering over the divider

"It's a long story, Josh...I wouldn't want to bother you."

"Details. Details." he said sliding his swivel chair over to my side

"Well...the father of my child..."

"James Neal."

"Yeah. He was in town yesterday...to see Ella and what not."

"And why is that an issue?"

"It isn't...it's just...things ended weirdly. We never really had real closure. Anyways...so things are going awkwardly and then he gets up to leave and he kisses me. Then he starts saying he loves me, but that he has to move on and I have to move on, because we cannot be together...because he won't ask me to leave Pittsburgh for him."

"Do you want to leave Pittsburgh for him?"

"I don't know...my friends are here. My job is here, my family is here...and they'll be pissed if I move away. Especially because they aren't that fond of James..."

"But?" Josh replied, eyeing me

"I want to be with him." I choked out "And I want him to want me there. I want him to ask me, but I can't tell him to ask...why is he doing this? Why can't he just ask me? Does he really want me to come? Or was he just saying that? So many questions and no answers."

"Men are complicated. We don't always say what we want. We say what we think you want to hear. Previously you had told him you did not want to move there with him, right?"

I nodded, "That was then...I don't know. Maybe I just miss him."

Josh nodded, "Well seems like you have some thinking to do." he replied rolling back over to his desk
______________________________________________________________________________

I had just gotten Ella into bed and was drawing a bath for myself when I heard my phone buzz. I grabbed it from the counter and a text message flashed across the screen.

James- I'm sorry about the other day. I shouldn't have kissed you.
Abby- Don't apologize...it's okay.
James- Ok.
I sighed. There was so much I wanted to say to him, but I didn't know what words to even say. I couldn't tell him to ask me to move to Nashville, could I? Did he even want that? Or would he just feel like he was making me? Was that even what I wanted to do...I didn't even know.
Abby- Okay.
I thought for a minute and sent him a second message
Abby- James, we need to talk. Can I call you after my bath?
James- Yeah. Is everything okay?
Abby- Yeah. I just need to talk to you. I'll call you in a few.

I sent that and got into the tub. A nice bath felt so relaxing. I soaked under the water and thought about what I was going to say, well, more how I was going to say it. I knew what I wanted to say. I wanted to be with him, in Nashville.

After my bath, I threw on some clothes and checked on Ella. She was still sound asleep. I smiled at her and grabbed my phone dialing James' number "hello?" He said

"Hey."

"Hey, Abby."

"How are you doing?"

"I'm doing alright. You?"

"I'm good." I sighed "James...listen. I know you don't want to feel like you're forcing me to do anything so I just want you to know that you aren't. This was a decision that I came to on my own, I just...I want to be with you, James."

"What?"

"If you still want me to, I want to be in Nashville with you. I...i love you, James Neal. I always have too...you're funny and sweet but you're also cocky and annoying and I just...you're so amazing. You're the father of my child and I want to be with you! If you'll still have me..."

"Of course I still want you, Abby."

"Then ask me."

"Ask you to what?"

"Ask me to move to Nashville with you."

James laughed "Abigail, will you please move to Nashville with me?"

"Yes, James. I will." I smiled

"Good. So when do you want to move over here?"

"Whenever I can."

"Okay. Um...I'll have to check the schedule and I'll call you?"

"Okay."

"Okay. Um Abby?"

"Yeah?"

"I can't wait to see you."

"Me too." I smiled

"Bye, Abby." James said

"Bye." I replied hanging up.
