I was gonna do a warning for smut but I mean... you're the one reading it

This time I had woken up to Adam stroking my face with breakfast on a tray. My eyes opened to see him smiling at me. "Morning, you feeling okay? You're not in pain are you?".

"No I'm actually okay", I sit up slowly. "What time is it?".

"I brought you some food but it's only 8am, I have an audition".

"Since when?", I ask. He hadn't talked to me about it.

"Just something my agent called me about, If you need me text me, if you're dying call me", he leans down to kiss my head.

"How long will you be?".

"Maybe a few hours I'm not sure hon", he gets upset me puts on his jacket. "I'll tell you when I'm on my way home though. Look I have to go or I'll be late. I love you".

"I love you too", I smile and he leaves. I hear the front door shut and I get out of bed, I couldn't possibly go back to sleep.

I drew back the curtains and watched his car leave then I go take a shower. I'll never get used to our shower.

Once I was done I got changed and decided to clean up a bit, first cleaning our room and bathroom. Then I go down stairs and clean the living room.

I put on music whilst I was doing so that I almost missed the house phone. I turn off the music and run over. "Hello Elizabeth speaking", I answer.

"Hi it's elara from the auditioning and casting desk, I was just phoning to confirm the cancellation of today's audition", she says in a cheery voice.

"Cancellation? So he's not there?", I ask.

"We had a phone call on Thursday to tell us he had cancelled it himself. I haven't made a mistake have I?".

"No you haven't, sorry that was me. Thankyou Elara nice to speak to you", I say and she says goodbye before I end the call.

So he's lying to me, but what for? Why would he cancel his audition too. I won't text him I want him to tell me himself. I checked the time and it was 11am. He's been a while.

Don't overthink it liz. Don't overthink it.

I text him.

'You in the audition yet? X', and 30 minutes later I got a text back.

'On my way home'. That was it. No reply to my question.

I cleared everything and then just sat on the couch with a cup of tea and watched the tv waiting for his explanation for when he came back.

Then it came. An hour after he said he was on his way he cane through the door with a folder. "You cleaned? It looks great", he says. "Wow we really are messy", he jokes. I look up at him with a stone cold stare.

"What's that?", I ask to the folder that was in his arms.

"Uh this? Just some papers. Boring stuff", he comes over and sinks into the sofa next to me and exhaling deeply like he was emotionally drained.

"How was the audition?".

"The audition?", he looked confused. "Oh yeah, uh I don't know if it went great".

"Did you have two today?", I ask and he looks confused again. "Two auditions Adam did you have two". He shakes his head. "Oh so you cancelled the other, it's just elara from the auditioning desk called to confirm your cancellation".

"Shit".

"Yeah, I wanna know two things. 1: why did you cancel and 2: why did you lie? We're supposed to be honest with eachother". he sighed looking away from me.
