The afternoon had gone by fairly quick. Micha had spent a few hours with Grisha and his wife. When it came to opening up, he had left. MIcha didn’t want to bother them, after all they usually got slammed around dinner time. He had left, and had too much on his mind. Micha somehow ended up finding himself on the subway again. He had no place to go, but his mind was filled with thoughts. Micha needed to clear his mind.
After a few rounds, he finally made it back home. Micha made it inside closing and locking the door behind himself. It was getting late, and he hadn’t heard much from Samuel all day. He had received a few pictures, at least Samuel was keeping in somewhat contact. Micha didn’t want to be needy but he was. He missed him.
Food was not something he wanted at the moment He opted for a drink instead. MIcha kicked off his shoes by the door, heading upstairs. He still had a bottle of alcohol beside his bed from last night. Micha pulled his phone out of his pocket, checking his messages, and yet still nothing.

The more he spoke with the male, the more it felt like he was trying to make him feel bad for sleeping with him. Was he always like this? Or was he just upset about their abrupt meeting again? If that was the case, then it couldn't be helped. Samuel told him from the beginning that he was there on business. It wasn't his fault that Avery just so happened to be apart of that business. Samuel watched the male smile. He couldn't explain but he didn't like it. As the male spoke again, it clicked. Samuel gave a very non-nonchalant shrug. "And what makes you assume I'm going to face him with any lies?" He waited a moment for the question to sink in. "There's an ocean between us and by the time we meet again my marks will have faded. Not to mention, I've been giving him many updates since I landed. Speaking of which......hold still."
Pulling out his cellphone, Samuel slid his finger across the screen and tapped on the camera app. "Hey guys, look this way." With the camera facing them, Samuel held it at a length to photograph himself, Avery, Nicolas, and Jean. He waited for the foursome to squeeze together and smile. After taking the picture, Samuel sat back in his seat and hit the share option on the picture. He attached it to a text message with the words "Hey baby, the launch was a success!!!". He hit send and smiled at Avery. "See, no secrets."

After a long day, Micha was in no mood for anything. He was tired and wanted a long bath. Micha set his phone on his side table as he went into his bathroom. He turned the light on as he stripped off his clothes. Micha walked toward his bathtub as he turned on the water. He pulled the plug as he let the tub fill up. Tossing his dirty clothes in the bin, he went back to check on the tub.
When it finally filled up, he turned the water off. Micha slipped into the water as he leaned back. He closed his eyes feeling the warm water surround him. His scars had healed now, he merely had scar tissue forming. MIcha opened his eyes after a while, he ran a hand over his chest were a few scars remained. He sighed a little, glad to be alive, but he wasn't sure how well he was living.
A quick bath to relieve some stress was all he needed. Draining the tub, he stepped out. MIcha grabbed a towel and quick dried himself. He left the bathroom heading back toward his bedroom. MIcha went to his closet as he grabbed out of pair of gray sweats. He tossed his towel in the hamper as he pulled his sweats on.
Micha went back to his bed as he grabbed his phone. He checked to see he had a message from Samuel. MIcha sat down as he looked it over. He smiled, glad to hear Samuel’s launch had been successful. Glad to hear, just stepped out of the shower. Wish you were here to join me. wink Micha texted Samuel then went to his studio to work on his current piece.

There was no denying that Avery was a little annoyed. He hadn’t thought in a city so big he would ever see Samuel again. Avery wasn’t annoyed with him completely after all he hoped that he wouldn’t see Samuel again after tonight. He merely liked egging the man on. In a room full of other people he had nothing to worry about. It wasn’t as if Samuel would do anything to him, not that he expected it.
Avery had barely had a chance to talk to Samuel last night. Mostly he had been drunk and barely sober. When it came to speaking to him now, he was not in the least bit amused. Avery found Samuel to be rather annoying, the only reason he was sitting here now was because Jean would be angry if he got up and left.
Samuel was a good businessman, but not a good man. Avery merely rolled his eyes as Samuel spoke. He was soon caught off guard as they were all squeezed together and a picture was taken. Avery shifted a little in the bench. ”Well as long as your conscious is clear...now if you’ll excuse me I think it’s time I leave...Thank you and good luck on your business trip.” He spoke as he asked Jean to move so he could get out.
Avery didn’t bother asking for Jean to give him a ride, he left heading out the way he came. Jean was too confused but also didn’t want to leave. It would look bad if he had left especially while talking to Jean.

Samuel didn't care if the male found him annoying. It wasn't as though they were going out. And he certainly wasn't interested in starting any sort of relationship with him. Last night was just a drunken escapade. One that was not going to repeat himself the rest of this business trip. After snapping the photo, he took note of the males more annoyed look. He smiled to himself, holding back his laughter. While he didn't mind annoying the male, he did not want to push his luck in front of all his colleagues. Instead, he concentrated for a moment on writing out the message and sending it to Micha. He tucked his phone away and looked to the male, thinking they might continue their conversation. When the male spoke though, it was just the opposite. He smiled politely as the male rose from his seat beside him. "I'm sure it will be.....but yes, thank you for your time. It was good meeting you, Avery. Good night, and good luck with your own work."
Samuel didn't bother getting up or seeing the male out. He still had others to attend to and matters to discuss. The group continued to talk among themselves, barely giving a glance towards Avery as he seemed in a hurry to get out of here. Samuel sat back in his seat just as his phone vibrated in his pocket. "Excuse me gentlemen, I've gotta take this." Sliding out of the booth, Samuel walked around the club to find a more private area. He slipped down one of the halls for employees only and pulled up Micha's contact information, and hit the green call button. Holding the phone to his ear, he waited. He wanted so badly to hear his voice. Pathetic yes. But all these text messages, he wanted to talk with him. He walked a little ways down the hall as the phone rang in his ear, hoping the male would answer him.

Taking his phone with him, MIcha went to his studio. He turned on the light as he set his phone aside on his desk. Micha didn’t need it getting paint all over, or at least anymore. He grabbed a few tubes as he started setting up his palet. Micha finished as he moved to grab a couple of different paintbrushes. He had to remind himself tomorrow to buy some more paint and brushes.
After setting up, Micha turned on the small stereo next to his desk. He needed some music as compared to the silence. Micha didn’t mind the silene but it was getting annoying. He needed sound, or at least something calming. Micha grabbed his stool as he set up in front of his easel. It didn’t take long before his phone started ringing.
The sound surprised him a little as he grabbed it. He checked to see that it was Samuel. Micha was a little giddy as he grabbed it, he didn’t want to seem to eager, or that as he was expecting it. He answered the phone, turning it on. ”Hey you, I was just thinking about you.” Micha spoke not caring if he seemed needy, but it was true. He had been thinking about Samuel, all day.

The hall was quiet and empty as he stood there waiting for Micha to pick up the phone. One ring, then two....on the third he thought about hanging up. Maybe Micha went to take a shower. Or was getting something to eat. What time was it again in New York? He tried to do the math in his head when suddenly his call connected. Samuel was grinning widely as the male spoke. "That's good, I was thinking of you too." he replied. Samuel didn't mind if the male was being needy. This was their first time apart in ages. There was bound to be some separation anxiety. "So are you finally ready to hop on a plane and join me in Paris?" he teased. Although he already knew the answer to the question. He felt the need to ask it. After all, since leaving New York, Micha had done nothing but tell him how much he missed him and wanted to be with him. All he had to do was say "yes" and he could have him on the red eye tonight and see him by morning. But alas that was not the case. Samuel leaned against the wall, listening to the male speak. He could listen to him speak all night if he would let him. But he didn't want to take up too much of his time. He just wanted to talk long enough to feel as though he were with him. "By the way, how was your day? Do anything exciting?"

It was easy to forget about things. Micha knew they needed to work on their separation it had only been a day and a half at the most. He found being separated did him no good, but he couldn’t tell Samuel that. They needed time by themselves to be able to function. He couldn’t expect Samuel to be able to hold his hand through everything.
Smiling Micha heard Samuel speak on the other end. Of course Samuel had been thinking of him, otherwise why call? He wouldn’t say that however. Hearing Samuel speak, asking him about jumping on a plane was tempting. Micha had no problems with jumping on a plane at this moment, however he knew he would be only in the way if he went.
As Samuel questioned him again, however he responded ignoring the first question about coming to Paris. ”It was good, not really went and hung out with Grisha for a few hours, then came home.. Working on a new piece at the moment. “ Micha spoke, however found it wasn’t all that important. He hadn’t done much today as he would have liked to.

Forgetting his phone behind the curtains in the back on a table. Avery went back inside. He couldn’t leave his phone, after all it was his only connection to Jean and a few other people. Avery didn’t have a landline in his loft, after all what would be the use if he wasn’t home.
Grabbing his phone, Avery left the backstage area. He however had lost his way, wandering down the wrong hallway. Avery drew near spotting a familiar person. He heard the tone in Samuel’s voice, meaning only one thing, he was talking to his lover. Avery couldn’t resist, as he walked closer. ”Aw, how sweet. Talking to your lover in private...Say hi for me.” He spoke practically egging Samuel on.

It was useless to continue asking. He knew that Micha had his own life to get on with and he respected that. Still, it was hard for him. It was hard for both of them. It was going to take time not being able to see one another everyday. And even longer to get used to the withdrawal of physical contact. Already he missed being able to hold and kiss the male as he pleased. Samuel listened to the male tell him about his day. He was glad that he was getting back in touch with his old friends. He'd heard a bit about his friend, Grisha, but knew that since he'd been taking up so much of his time that Micha didn't get to see him as much as he would like to. "Oh yeah? Well me a picture of it when you're done. I wanna see it!" he replied.
Samuel continued chatting with the male when he heard a door slam at the end of the hall. At first he thought it might be one of the employees going on break. But turning around, he saw an unwanted familiar face. As the male came closer, he did his best to ignore him. He'd had enough of Avery for one evening. Unfortunately, the brat seemed to have other plans. Samuel was quite tempted to flip him off. But he couldn't be sure how the male would respond. "An idiot says hi." he said, smiling smugly at the male. Pushing away from the wall, Samuel started in the opposite direction of the male. He didn't want to talk anymore with Avery. He wanted to talk a little longer with Micha before Nicolas came looking for him. If the male had something to say to him, he could leave a message with Alaine since the number on the business card he had given him was for the office landline.

It was entertaining to mess with Samuel. The male was easy and he wanted to push his nerves. He took note of Samuel’s dislike for him, which only amused him more. Avery liked to annoy people, and it seemed he was doing a good job so far. He laughed softly as Samuel responded his words to his lover. Avery watched as he started to walk away, ”Idiot..That’s not what you said last night baby, especially with my mouth on your d**k and yours later inside.” He yelled back cheerfully as Samuel started to walk away from him. Avery started walking behind him fixing to leave as well since he had gone the wrong direction.

As he spoke to Samuel, Micha moved to turn down the music. He had it on a little too loud for his comfort especially for being on the phone. Listening to Samuel ask about his piece he smiled. ”Only when it’s finished.” He spoke knowing he would show him. Micha had only started on a few days ago. It wasn’t anywhere near where he wanted to show Samuel.
Listening, he soon heard someone speak on the other line. Micha heard a male voice, it seemed Samuel wasn’t alone. He knew he wouldn’t be if the was still at his promotion. Micha shifted a little as he sat down on his stool. However what threw him for a loop was when the male spoke next about having sex with Samuel the night before. He could barely understand the words, it hit him hard. ”What the ********> Micha spoke into the phone a little annoyed for now.

Walking the way he came, Samuel had hoped that would be the last of Avery. He had given him attention while they were in the club and even was nice to his manager. What more did he want? He listened as the male spoke, not surprised that he wouldn't even give him a sneak peak of his work. He never did, so why should he expect that to change. Samuel was now closer to the club entrance. the music was thumping and making the floor vibrate. He didn't even notice that Avery had started to come up behind him. By the time he did it was too late. The words echoed in the empty hall. Samuel stopped in his tracks as the model passed him. In his ear he heard Micha speak. His annoyed tone sent a shiver down his spine. Even an ocean away it was amazing how much fear the man could strike in him. Samuel was silent for a moment, not moving, not thinking. all he could see was red.
It took him a full minute to gather himself. When he did, he pushed past Avery. "Tell your manager you're barred from any future projects. We will not contact your agency. Nor will we hire any other your agency's models." Samuel's voice was dark and filled with anger yet his words were clear and calm. Pushing the door open, he was met with noise and music. People around him were laughing and having the time of their lives. Samuel still had not said anything to Micha but he was still on the line. He walked over to his business partner and company, informing them that he needed to leave. After many quick goodbyes and good nights he raised the phone back to his ear. "Micha.....Are you still there?"

On the other end of the phone, Micha heard movement. He was caught off guard and heard nothing from Samuel. Micha could hear movement but got no answer. He could hear the sound of music through the phone. Micha heard Samuel speak but not to him. He waited but wouldn’t wait long. Micha had gotten up and turned the music off completely. He stood in the middle of his studio waiting for Samuel to respond to his question. It seemed a full five minutes before he heard Samuel’s voice again.
His voice snaked around him as he stood there, he could hear the fear in Samuel’s voice. It crushed him, ”Yes, I’m still here…” Micha spoke almost gritting his teeth. ”Tell me...is it true?” He asked trying to remain calm.

Striking a nerve it seemed, had gotten the job done. He watched as Samuel came toward him. Avery smirked a little hearing Samuel threaten him. He didn’t care, wouldn’t be the first nor the last. Avery knew it was time to leave before he gotten himself thrown out. He left heading out the front door. There was still a few hours left in the day still. Avery was in the mood for a good drink, not simple champagne.
He left the club, heading down the street. Avery was content with himself, even knowing he had ruined a few gig opportunities with Samuel, but he didn’t care. He tracked down a taxi cab and started heading back toward his loft.
