The Charade

Chapter 7

Pierre sighed hanging up his phone; she wasn't answering either phone; that was really off, especially for her.

"Pierre?"

He turned around and Chuck was standing behind him.

"What are you doing?" Chuck asked quietly

Pierre just shrugged shaking his head. "Nothing"

"We're done, we can't do anything without him anyway, we've just been sitting around waiting for him to come back; did he answer when you called?"

Pierre shook his head "No" he lied.

If Chuck knew David had answered he would go ballistic.

"Go after him"

Pierre just looked at him and Chuck nodded.

"If you don't, this band isn't the only thing that's going to fall apart"

Pierre looked at him quizzically; he hadn't told Chuck, but he had a feeling Chuck knew anyway.

"Go Pierre"

Pierre left the studio and drove straight to David's, but his apartment was empty.

He sat on the couch and pulled his phone out of his pocket dialling David's number.

It rang and rang and rang and rang before it went to voicemail.

Pierre hung up and sighed; David was such a pain in the ass when he was fucked off about something.

He waited around for a few minutes and when David didn't come back, Pierre drove back to his own house.

David's car was out front; Pierre pulled in the driveway and let himself in the house.

"David?"

The house was quiet...too quiet.

Her car was out front too and she wasn't here, but her purse was, she never went anywhere without it.

"David?!"

The kitchen was empty. 

He walked past the living room and jumped when something caught his attention.

"It's about time" David sighed

"Where is she?"

David shrugged "I don't know, the house was empty when I got here, I've been waiting for you"

"How did you get in?"

"Door was open"

Pierre walked through the house; something didn't feel right about this.

He loved David, but-

"Pierre"

He glanced over his shoulder, but kept walking up the hallway.

"What?"

David grabbed his arm and Pierre stopped walking and turned to face him.

"Don't I get a kiss?"

"David..."

"I'm sorry" David smiled faintly "For today"

"It's fine" Pierre shook his head

He's quick to forgive you; he doesn't even know you've done it yet.

Pierre kissed him quickly and continued up the hallway. David stayed back a couple of paces as Pierre reached the bedroom.
