We could hear John shuffling around the apartment, going about his usual business.

“Pierre!” he called out, sounding a bit annoyed. He walked into the bedroom and stopped short.

“What’s this?” he hissed, looking in my direction.

“We were just talking,” Pierre defended.

“I bet you…What is she wearing? Are those Elizabeth’s?” He said, slightly raising his voice, pointing at me.

“I, um…needed something to wear…” I mumbled.

“Because you came over here naked? Is that why?” He argued.

“Well, sort of, its a long story…” I began.

“Which you don’t need to hear,” Pierre said, standing up, “Besides, John, you’re late today.”

“My partner needed help, he was attacked by some vagrant in this neighbourhood! I don’t know why you want to live in the same building as all these international students and volunteers,” John said angrily. That last comment really got to me, he made it sound like I was some criminal.

“John, I don’t need you today,” Pierre finally said, reaching out for me.

    Oh good, more Marguerite/Pierre. This is a bit complicated because THX ’s taking it one way and you another, sort of. But it’s not really important; I love it.

    Ooh, John’s not going to be happy. Great job bringing out a bit more detail as to where they are and some of the dynamics between the various people. And yes, that silly THX is causing a diversion. What a blork. Even I’m happy to see how Pierre is doing.

    Someone made the suggestion in an earlier comment that maybe John was Elizabeth’s lover. That would add an interesting dimension to an already steamy plot. I’m guessing John has a lot of baggage! I guess I’d better stay tuned. :p

    Ooh! I really do love this series! I hope it’s continued. I agree with Ana Cristina. Sounds like he has something he doesn’t want to talk about, even though he’s the helpful friend. Keep up the awesome work! : )
