⭒ Charlie and Azura have been distant.
It had been at least two months since they had seen each other. Both had been busy but understanding of each other's situations; after all, they knew that realistically they couldn't have been together all, the time with their schedules.
They had discussed in length prior to their split schedules what they would do. Whatever agreement they had reached ultimately didn't matter. Charlie always texted her goodnight, and Azara left him good morning voice messages.
Charlie's schedule had finished a week earlier, and upon checking his girlfriend's very, very full schedule, he realised that she would be home after she finished up in her studio that afternoon.
He decided, Why not call and see how she's doing? It had been a while since they had time to call each other.
"Ray! What a delightful surprise." It was like Charlie could hear her smiling. "Anyways. Hey baby, what's up?"
"Not much. Are you home?"
"Hmm, not right now." The line goes quiet, but Charlie can hear murmurs and shuffling on the other side of the call. "Ray? You still there?"
"Yeah, I am."
"Kay. I'm at the studio, but I'm wrapping things up. I'll be home soon. Did you need something?"
"Not really; I was just calling."
"Charlie? Aren't you busy? Is something wrong?" Charlie is about to reply when Daniella speaks again. "Baby, give me two seconds, okay? I'm just have to say bye to Daniel. I'll call you back, yeah?"
"Who's Daniel?" She doesn't reply.
Charlie overheard their conversation. She must have forgotten to hang up.
"Hey."
"Hey, Azza, what's up? You need something?"
Azza? What kind of nickname was that? Charlie frowns.
"No. Just came by to ask Daniel about the finalised concert dates and say bye. Where is he?"
"Daniel? He's out for lunch. Where are you going?"
"Home. Lunch? That's odd. He usually tells me when he is going. I guess I'll call him later. Anyways, Bye."
Charlie hears a door open and close and takes note of how Daniella tried to cut the conversation with the guy short.
"Azza! Wait." Charlie hears her sigh.
"I'm busy, Michael. Whatever you are going to ask Daniel."
"You're always busy."
"I know."
"How about I take you out for a drink?"
Charlie tenses slightly. A drink? Lia doesn't drink.
"I don't drink." Her voice answers a moment later, voicing his thoughts.
"Come on. It'll just be you and me. How about it?"
"I. don't. drink. Now, move. I've got somewhere I need to be."
The guy was blocking her way, Charlie realised.
"Right. No drinks. How about I take you to dinner you haven't eaten yet, have you? It's on me."
He hears his girlfriend sigh in irritation.
"I have plans with my boyfriend."
A pause.
"Right, him. Thought you said he was out of town."
