Pierce pulled the chair for Abby to sit . He always did that for her or any other lady for that matter . He was a true gentleman .
Abby had no intention of talking business even though it was supposed to be a business meeting . She wanted to know the truth from him . She wanted to evaluate her feelings . Pierce went white on seeing the ring on Abby's left hand .
"I see you got engaged . Congratulations ." pierce feeling bad .
"Pierce , why are you here ? " softly as her eyes were filling up .
"Just for you ... i see you have moved on "
"What do you mean by ' i see you have moved on' ? Did you expect me to wait for you forever ?" getting agitated .
"No...no ... i don't mean it that way . i know i left you but it was for your good ."
"For my good !? do you know what it did to my life ? In a split second , everything was over for me . Your family knew where you were but no one told me . Not even Henry ! "
" Well i told them not to tell you . It was for your good . But what matters is i am here now ."
"why do you keep saying that it was for my good ? Why did you leave me in the first place ? And if it was for my good why are you back now ?"
"I ll answer all your questions but first you answer mine ."
"what do you want to know ?"
"Henry told me that you were seeing someone called Hugh Forman .Are you still with him ? I mean is he the person you are engaged to?"
"Yes . And you were in touch with Henry !? Why din't he ever tell me about you . he just kept saying he din't know where you were . He said only your parents knew."
"Interrogative and inquisitive as ever ... You have not changed a bit ." laughing.
"Stop laughing ! answer me !"
"I will ! I will ! Are you happy with Hugh ? " getting serious .
"I don't know . I think so . I mean i was until i saw you two days ago . Now i have all these doubts . Hugh is amazing as a person . he is wonderful and caring ....and he loves me ."
"Do you love him ?"
"i don't know . I think so " taking a sip of her wine and looking away.
"so you are getting married to him huh ?"
"Yes . that's the plan ."
"Still want to get married to him ? i mean..."
"Pierce this is the first time i have seen you in two years . Please don't expect me to break off my engagement and come into your arms . For all you know you might just leave again."
"hey i don't plan on leaving you ever again , that's if i ever have you again . and i don't expect you to break off your engagement , at least till we are all figured out . "
"Now will you answer all my questions ?"
"yes ...."Taking a long pause .
Abby just looked at him with her eyes getting watery again.
Pierce placed his hand over hers and wiped her tear off . She kept still . the moment his hand touched her's her heartbeat shot up.
"Abby . i left you because i din't want to ruin your life . You were just starting with your business after leaving your job . "
"Ruin my life !? what are you saying ?"with her eyes getting as wide as it could get.
"Abby please don't stop me ...." pierce said as she nodded.
"Abby ...ahhh...hmmmm i had ....aaaa.i had cancer . Penile cancer ..."
"What !?" Abby getting shocked .
"I am sorry . i dint want to go through the marriage and then land up like a vegetable or dying and spoiling your life ."
"what are you saying !? you had cancer ? and you were worried of spoiling my life ..... Pierce i loved you ....you could have told this to me ...instead of you leaving , i would have wanted to be with you and help you beat this thing .... Pierce how are you now ?"getting chocked up .
"I am fine and i am cured . They have have made sure that it does not relapse . Abby i couldn't have spoiled your life . i din't want to . That's why i told my folks not to tell you ... and yes i was in touch with Henry and he helped me through this ..."
"I can't believe this . you could contact your brother and not me .... you spoiled my life any way pierce . you did !" Abby bursted out and ran out of the hotel . Pierce got up and swung a hundred dollar bill and ran out behind her . she was quick and she got a cab . Pierce knew where she could go , so he hailed out a cab and went after her ........TBC
