*Abbies POV*

We walked into work the next day, and instantly I saw Jenny and Irving talking to each other, and she half walked/half jogged over to Ichabod and I, pulling Irving with her.

"So how's the dog?" He said.

"How'd you know about the-" I started to say

"Dude, I already told practically everyone that was here about Alec."

Jenny said with a chuckle.

"Well now I know who to go to when I'm needing someone to keep a secret"

I said with a sarcastic grin in her direction.

Irving and Jenny started talking to each other and kinda leaving us out of the chat, so we went away back to the lounge room.

"Did you notice the way they were talking to each other?"

Said Ichabod, reaching out to grab a few cookies that were in the plate on the table while handing me one.

"What do you mean?"

I replied while biting into the doughnut hole.

He cleared his throat,

"I may be just imagining this, but I think that right before- or right as she was bringing Irving over to us with herself, they might've been holding hands."

I stopped in mid-motion, the other half of the doughnut hole hanging an inch away from my mouth and looked directly at Ichabod.

"Are you sure that that's what you saw? Even if it was true, it still could've been a coincidence- I mean, friends hold hands all the time, right?"

"Yes, of course."

"I'll go and talk to her later on about it, alright? And even if they were dating, I think they would probably be a cute couple"

I said with a laugh as Ichabod joined in.

"They both have that small spark that says 'get on my wrong side and it'll be that last thing you ever do.'"

We finished off our doughnuts (Ichabod grabbing a few on the way out) and went back out to work.

*lunch break*

*Jennys POV*

"Yes, I'll have a Big Mac, Two quarter pounders, and to drink we'll take 3 iced Carmel Coffees."

I said at the counter inside McDonalds (hey, don't judge- there food is awesome.)

"Would you like any fries with that?"

"Eh, why not."

"Okay mam, we'll have that at your table momentarily. What name would you like that under?"

Said the man behind the counter- Ted, I think.

"Jenny's alright, thanks." I replied.

I walked back over to where Abbie & Ichabod were sitting and sat down.

"I'm sorry but I don't really care about him."

Abbie was saying.

"Care about who?"

"Your sister is informing me on this 'Obama' figure"

Ichabod said, with his "thinking" face on.

"Oh- I hate that guy. I'm sorry but he's never interested me. Even when he was president for the first 4 years, I wasn't complaining- I thought he might turn out alright. But then another 4 years and- ugh I don't know."

I looked over at Abbie

"You usually shouldn't talk about this stuff where we live now- considering this whole town is a democratic place."

I said, ending my rant.

"Well, I get what your saying," began Abbie,

"But think of it this way- there's nothing we can do about it now so what's the point in stressing about it?"

"More wise words from Miss Abbie Mills"

Ichabod said.

I looked over at Abbie and saw her fist bump him- god they needed to get together already.

"Order for Jenny"

The speakers shout out.

"I'll get it"

said Ichabod, while sliding his chair back and standing up.

"Okay"

Abbie and I said in unison.

I saw Ichabod walk off to get the food, while Abbie turned towards me.

"Hey.. So is there anything new with you?"

She said a bit quietly.

"Umm.. Whadda mean?"

I ask curiously.

"Just in general anything new... New car.. New pet.. New house.. New boyfriendddd..."

She emphasized the boyfriend part.

*Abbie's POV*

"What are you trying to say? Spit it out Abbie!"

Jenny said. I could tell she was getting annoyed- she has a short temper.

I tried to chose my words carefully

"Well.. Okay. We kinda saw you with Irving and are curious if your dating.. Maybe.."

I said each word slowly to her, and watched her expression change from annoyed to calm.

"Oh- that's all you wanted to ask? Gosh, you made me worry all for nothing."

She said as Ichabod sat down with all the food.

"But yeah, we are dating- I was gonna tell you but I kinda forgot and thought you already knew."

She said normally while taking a bite of her burger.

"So.. Hows it going over here?"

Ichabod said awkwardly.

"Great."

I said with a small nod and a wink to let him know that she was dating Irving.

We all ate our burgers and went back to work for the rest of the day.

*Home*

*ichabods POV*

The snow outside was brushing up against the windows as I sat with Alec the dog and was observing the rectangular-like moving color box (apparently a Television?) and was thinking of all the things that could've happened if technology like this was here when I was a kid.

That's when the thought hit me.

"I want to get something for Abbie for Christmas."

I exclaimed to Jenny, who was sitting on the other '1 person' couch that Abbie had.

"Yep, that's usually what people do for other people during Christmas time."

She replied in a sarcastic tone.

"And keep your voice down, she's in the shower and could hear you."

"Ha. ha. ha. That's not what I mean. I want to get her something that- that she will love and keep forever- and I know how incredibly cheesy that is, but she deserved it. What kind of things does she fancy for gifts?"

Jenny looked at me and raised her eyebrows.

"Didn't you like, just get her a dog?"

She said, pointing to Alec.

"But still.."

"Oh I see.. Your one of those gentleman."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"No, it's the exact opposite."

She said laughing.

"Well then why are you laughing then??"

Okay, I was getting worried now.

"No, Ichabod, I can assure you it's not a bad thing- I wish all men were like you. You know, constantly doing things for ladies, even though you know that you don't need to, you do it anyway- and it could be anyone, your just a caring person like that, now do you believe me in saying that it's not a bad thing?"

*Jennys POV*

if only all men were like that. Abbie's a very lucky person.

I smiled to myself at the thought of both of them together.
