Matthew opened the door for Abby and let her settle inside before he sat beside her."Matthew, your parents want you back home," John told him, and Matthew could see the worries in his eyes. "Okay, uncle. Can you drive us to Abby's apartment first?""Okay. "They arrived in front of Abby's apartment after thirty minutes. Matthew stepped out first, and Abby followed."Uncle, just wait for me for a while. I'll walk Abby inside. John nodded in response, smiling, and watched Matthew follow Abby inside her apartment.

PICTURE OF YOU 21 LET'S RUN AWAY
Abby was disturbed from her deep slumber by a knock on her door. She groaned in annoyance and picked up her phone beside her to check the time, and it read three in the morning."Who was knocking at my door this early morning? Wait, what if it's a theft? But I don't have anything here. What if it's a rapist?" She instantly feels nervous. Slowly, she tip-toed and peeked at the small gap in her door, but she saw nothing. She let out a sigh of relief with her palm on her chest, where her heart was beating rapidly because of fear. She returned to her bed, but a knock was on her door again. She frowned. She took a kitchen knife inside her drawer, unlocked her door, and yanked it open. She shrieked in fright when someone fell in front of her. Her eyes widened when she recognized who it was."Matt." She kneeled beside him, who was chuckling, lying in front of her. "You're drunk." She whispered, helping him to sit up and lean his body on her before she pushed the door close."Come on, stand
PICTURE OF YOU 022 I DID THE RIGHT THING
It was already dark outside when Abby opened her eyes with Matthew peacefully sleeping beside her. Slowly, she stood up, went to her bag at the corner, and pulled on clothes to change and her towel. She went inside the bathroom and took a bath. After bathing, she dried her hair, but Matthew was still sleeping. She sat at the edge of the bed and brushed her hair. She smiled when Matthew stirred up from his sleep. He crawled beside her and laid his head on her lap. "Take a bath, and we will find something to eat. I'm starving." She whispered and leaned down, then kissed his cheek. He smiled, wrapped his arm around her waist, and buried his face on her tummy.She ran her finger on his hair while her other hand was brushing her hair. "Hey! She shook him softly when she heard him snore. "Matt! Wake up now, I'm starving." She whispered. He laid on his back, looking up at her, smiling. She smiled and caressed his cheek. He held her hand and kissed her knuckles. "Come on, Matt, take a bat
PICTURE OF YOU 23 FIRST DAY OF WORK
The following morning, Matthew woke up with Abby no longer beside him. He went inside the bathroom and did his morning routine before he stepped out of their room and found Abby in the kitchen preparing their breakfast. She was already in her uniform, ready for her first day of work. "Good morning, Babe. Abby greeted, smiling, and went to him when she saw him watching her and peck his lips."Good morning. You wake up early. ""I'm excited for my first day of work. Sit down. Breakfast is ready." She put the food on the table while Matthew placed the plate and cutlery before he sat down. "You look beautiful today, Babe. " He commented. Her uniform fit her perfectly; she tied her hair in a ponytail, and she was wearing light makeup. "Just today? It only means I'm not beautiful in previous days?" She teased and raised her eyebrow at him. "You are always beautiful, Babe, but today, that uniform looks good on you." He smiled. "Thank you. I like this uniform, too." She smiled. Matthew sm
PICTURE OF YOU 024 LET'S EAT TOGETHER
"Matt, wake up. Let's eat breakfast together before I leave. The food is ready. Matt, come on." But she only got a snore as an answer."Babe, wake up." She planted a lingering kiss on his face and his forehead then shook him. He groaned but remained sleeping. Abby felt terrible seeing him like this. If he hadn't run away with her, he would still have been comfortable. "Babe!! She called him a bit louder and shook him a bit stronger. She wants to let him sleep a bit longer, but she's running out of time. She'd be late for work if Matthew didn't wake up now. Finally, he opened his eyes, but he still looked exhausted. Abby hugged him and kissed his cheek. "Good morning. Let's eat breakfast together before I leave. Just go back to sleep later." She runs her fingers through his messy hair. She felt sorry for him. Because of her, he went through this hardship. "Good morning, babe. " He whispered, sitting up, pulling her in his embrace, and kissing her forehead. Matthew got up from be
PICTURE OF YOU 25 MY PARENTS ARE COMING
As soon as their shift ended, Matthew hurried to the restaurant where Abby was working. He saw her already standing outside waiting for him. A smile quickly crept on Abby's lips when she saw Matthew walking towards her. "Tired." He whispered, wrapped his around her waist, and kissed her forehead. Abby nodded and leaned her face on his chest. Matthew pulled away from the hug after a few minutes and walked to where he had parked his motorcycle. He put on her helmet and scooped her up, sitting her behind him, then put on his helmet and drove home."You want to eat or drink something?" Matthew asked as soon as he pushed their door open. She looks exhausted, and it seems like she's going to faint any second. "Just water." She answered and slumped on the sofa. Matthew entered their kitchen and poured two glasses of water. He returned to the living room and handed her the glass of water. Abby quickly gulped it down as if she had been thirsty for some time. Matthew's heart hurt while looki
PICTURE OF YOU 26 WE BUILD OUR FAMILY HERE
MATTHEWI roamed my eyes around the small house that Uncle John brought us. It's made up of bamboo and has a single room, a small living room, and a small kitchen, and the furniture like chairs, dining tables, and living room chairs are also made up of bamboo and varnished. It's beautiful. The place looked peaceful, breathtakingly beautiful, and clean, and the air was fresh, unlike in the city. All houses made up of bamboo huts and fishing boats scattered at the shore. Just by looking at it, you can guess that fishing is the way of living of the people around here."This town's name is Mare, a Latin word for sea." Uncle John said. This town is small, and the houses are far from each other. The neighborhood is almost five hundred meters from our home, and there are few houses in this area. This area wasn't developed yet. I can see that Abby loves this place also by the way a smile plastered on her lips all the way here. "I'm sorry, Matt, but this is the safest place I know away from
PICTURE OF YOU 27 INSATIABLE
Matthew I was surprised to see the time when I opened my eyes. It was already five in the morning. We didn't eat dinner last night, and Abby is still sleeping. I smiled, pecked her pouting lips, and slowly untangled myself from her hold. I went to the bathroom and washed myself, and after that, I returned to our bedroom. I opened our bag and fixed our clothes inside our closet to have something to do while waiting for Abby to wake up. After an hour, I finished arranging our clothes neatly inside our shared closet, but Abby was still sleeping. I went to the kitchen to see if there was something to eat there. I open the cupboard and drawers and am glad to see some pots and pans and an egg and instant pancake mix. I think Uncle John came here before he brought us here. I checked the stove to see if it was working and overjoyed when it was. I take out the pancake mix and read the instructions carefully.***ABBYI groaned as soon as I opened my eyes. The sun's rays hit directly to my
