Abby couldn't help but laugh as Matthew muttered about ground rules. It was a real laugh though, not a mocking one or a bratty one but a real laugh. Smiling up at him as he took her duffle bag from her, she followed him out to the car. It felt good to laugh, she hadn't don't that in a long time. "Oh come on, now you are just taking the fun out of it. It was a kiss, no big deal. You need to relax a little bit Matthew. And I think we crossed that student/teacher line a while back when you started the whole kissing thing," she pointed out, but she wasn't teasing him or giving him a hard time. In fact she was just joking around with him, she was feeling really good. On the inside anyway, she was feeling relaxed and free. Free to act the way she wanted and she wanted to have a good time with someone. Matthew was her first option and a really fun one at that. He reacted perfectly to all her teasing and she guessed in a way, her affection.<br/><br/>"In fact, I think we're more a long the line of friends. And friends need to relax and have a bit of fun," she said, winking at him as he stuffed her duffle bag away and turned to her to offer her a hand up. Gratefully, she took his offer for help. Even though she had enjoyed that laugh, it had really fucked with her broken rib though she wasn't showing it too much. Abby's whole body tensed up as Matthew leaned to whisper in her ear. Causing her to close her eyes as goose bumps rose up on her skin from his breath tickling her ear. A fire began to ignite in the pit of her stomach and for once she was actually craving someone's touch. To be more specific, she was craving Matthew's touch. A whole lot and she wasn't sure how long his ground rule number one would hold out if they kept this up.<br/><br/>Grinning as she got an idea, Abby turned her head and raised a brow at his close proximity. Then in one quick, swift motion she nipped softly at his neck, pulling at the skin in a teasing manner. Finally she disappeared from in front of him as she clambered in to his jeep. "Well come on mister Grey what are we waiting for?" she asked, winking at him one more time before she pulled her seatbelt on. "I think we both know rules don't work well for me. But hey we can give them a shot," she finished. Now leaning back in his car's seat and trying to figure out how to keep the belt from hurting her with all her bruises and her rib.
