All Chapters of Twice Upon A Star: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

ABIGEALTHE WOMAN named Heather broke into a wide smile when Blaine said her name. “Oh my God it's been so long! You look gorgeous.” She enthused, wrapping her arms around him and giving him air kisses. He returned the hug, but hesitantly, like he wasn't sure what was going on. “Heather, what are you doing here? You're not one of our partners.” He said. She laughed like he'd said the most hilarious thing. “No, silly, you know I'm not into that kind of thing.”“No, he doesn't.” If what they were saying was correct, they hadn't met since…whenever the last time was, so how could he know?She glanced at me, her smile becoming a little more plastic. “Is this the lucky lady?” She teased, elbowing Blaine like they'd been tight for decades.I wanted to saw off that elbow. Maybe just take the whole arm while I'm at it.I blinked away the violent thoughts as Blaine turned. “Shit. Sorry. Abigeal, this is Heather Green. We went to high school together. Heather, this is Abigeal Starr.”I thou

ABIGEALBLAINE WAS shaking me awake. “Abigeal? Abigeal.” He called softly while I blinked and opened my eyes fully. “Hey.” He said with a smile. I realized two things at that time. The first was that somehow while asleep I'd managed to rest my head on his shoulder.The second was that the…activities that had been taking place had all been a dream.The car had stopped moving. I sat up like a string and shifted away from him. “Sorry about that.” I mumbled.“Nothing to worry about. You must be so tired, with the flight and all.” He said. “Are you ready to get out now?”“Yeah, sure.” I said and Blaine opened the door and stepped back to let me out. I automatically reached out and took his outstretched out. I got out of the car and stood there a moment with him still holding hands.Blaine lifted my hands up to his lips and began to nibble lightly.I jerked my hand out on this and he looked startled. “You okay? Did I do something wrong?” He asked.Except making me think about you so much t

ABIGEALI HAD to admit, zipping down a street in a brand new car beyond the speed limit was thrilling. There wasn't another car in sight, so I could do whatever I wanted without getting written up.What was not so thrilling, however, were the kids in the backseat squealing. With the way they were yelling, you'd think I was kidnapping them to sell into slavery.Another reason why I was grateful for the empty roads.I made a hard right turn and went back the same way we had come, slowing down when I got to where everyone else was standing.Gabriela had her hands on her hips and her lips pursed as the kids climbed out of the car. “That was a little faster than I would have liked.” She commented.I opened my mouth to apologize but Dolores scoffed. “Oh please. They go on joyrides faster than that at the fair. Besides, Abigeal won’t let anything happen to them.” She said.Blaine came out of the house checking his watch. “Alright, play time is over. Abigeal and I have to go.” He said, follow

ABIGEALI HEARD the crunch of leaves behind me seconds before I heard the scream. I ducked to avoid the dagger thrown at my head and whipped around with one leg out. My attacker was quick enough to leap over my leg and step back. I regained my feet, thinking quickly. I was almost sure it was Anna I'd heard screaming, and that meant she was still alive but in immediate danger. If I didn't get to her soon I might not be able to help her.I drew two of my daggers and tilted my head at the masked person heading straight for me. “Let's make this quick, shall we?” I said before slashing out. They dodged my attacks skillfully and even managed to get in a hit of their own. I stumbled back with narrowed eyes. “Wait a damn minute,” I said.This person's style of fighting seemed familiar but foreign also, like they had worked on and improved it.“I know you," I continued. To confirm, I started to circle and they followed. I watched their feet as she started to walk, then straightened with an a

ABIGEALI ROLLED over and contemplated a scream as the buzzing of my phone overtook the silence. I considered throwing it across the room so I could return to peace and quiet, but figured answering or rejecting the call was a more cost effective way to deal with the situation. I kept my eyes closed as I reached for it so I could slip back into sleep easier and tapped on the screen. “Hello?”“Why are you not with the target currently?” Morgan's voice demanded. I held back a groan. I'd popped a couple of sleeping pills before I went to bed and they hadn't worn off yet, so I wasn't in the right frame of mind to deal with this. “Morgan, it's barely 6 in the morning.” I said.“Yes, and I want to know why your shiny new car is parked outside your decrepit apartment building instead of undergoing an existential crisis next to the target's shinier cars.” He snapped.My drugged self smiled. “That was a nice analogy.”“Miss Starr.”“I basically got fired, and so what? I can still take him ou
