The Charade

Chapter 6

David walked towards the door and he was surprised Pierre actually let him go this time.

He got outside and dug his keys out of his pocket, he was going to do this, and he was going to do it right now.

If she wasn't there, this was going to completely ruin his plans; for the second time, but he knew Pierre wouldn't be there to walk in and interrupt like he did a few week prior, this was it.

David pulled up in front of Pierre's house and sat staring at the front door from the street. Her car was in the driveway, and Pierre's car wasn't.

He got out of the car and walked up to the front door and knocked; and waited.

Finally she answered and she looked genuinely confused to see David, but for once he understood her confusion. He was supposed to be in the studio, not standing on her front porch.

"David..." she frowned "Pierre's not-"

"I know" He cut her off, the less he had to hear her speak, the better. "Mind if I wait for him to get back?"

"I-I guess" she opened the door wider and David let himself in.

He didn't act right away, he didn't have to rush; they would be at the studio for at least a few more hours.

He was growing increasingly impatient though. He got up and followed her into the kitchen, she had her back to him, it was perfect timing.

David walked up behind her, standing a little too close.

He could feel something inside him flip like a switch.

She tried to turn around, but David was too close; he had his arms on either side of her, resting on the edge of the counter, trapping her there.

"David"

He could tell she was trying to keep her voice even, but he could hear the hint of fear; she didn't know the meaning of the word.

"Shut up and listen"

"Let me go"

David rolled his eyes and sighed. He went to speak and she thrust her elbow back into his chest.

He stumbled backwards and she tried running to the door. Maybe she wasn't as dumb as she looked, she knew something was up.

David grabbed her by the shoulder, she had her hand on the receiver of the phone and he grabbed her wrist pulling it off the hook and it clattered to the floor; she was tiny, it wasn't hard for him to overpower her.

He slammed her up against the wall and slapped a hand over her mouth before she could scream, that didn't stop her from trying though.

She screamed against his hand and tried like hell to shove him off, but he was stronger. He used his weight to pin her to the wall, the forearm of his other arm pressing against her throat, cutting off her scream.

"Shut up and listen!" He practically growled at her.

David felt like he wasn't in control of his own body anymore, that little voice was taking complete control; not that he would have stopped.

She swallowed and her eyes filled with tears.

"David p-please"

Begging, how pathetic.

"Don't do this"

"You ruined my life!" He clenched his teeth.

She squeezed her eyes shut as David slammed her against the wall a second time.
