Sex, Lies, and Violin Music

~ Chapter 3 ~

Ethan knew his separation from Justin was temporary. He knew once Justin read through his love letters and realized the flowers, red-roses in particular, were a sign of just how sorry the young violinist was, they would be making beautiful music together again. Not to mention he was sending Justin his favorite dark chocolate that he knew Justin couldn't resist. He doubted if *Brian* knew about Justin's love for that particular kind of chocolate. Ethan knew all Justin needed was some encouragement. The violinist had to admit, though, that Brian Kinney presented a small, teeny tiny challenge. He hadn't really expected Justin to get back with the ad-exec. In fact, he had really expected Justin to sit around moping about what a huge mistake he had made leaving his boyfriend. Ethan didn't know Justin had met his expectations perfectly. He sat around moping over the huge mistake he had made in leaving his boyfriend, only the boyfriend Justin was moping over was Brian, not Ethan.

Standing in front of Daphne's apartment building(he knew Justin living there was not permanent, that he would be living in Ethan's apartment soon, therefore there was no reason to refer to it as Daphne and Justin's apartment), Ethan was about to enter the lobby when the object of his affection came charging through the door. Paganini Jr. could not have asked for better timing. Justin would have certainly disagreed about the fortuity of the timing.

"Justin! Just the man I was looking for. You look great!" Ethan actually had the audacity to move in close and try to kiss the blonde.

Pulling away in utter disgust, Justin yelled, "Stay away from me Ethan! I mean it! I don't know what you're trying to do, but I can guarantee it's not working. You and I are through! Now leave me the fuck alone and get on with your life!" Justin was more than a little angry so the fact that he was shouting was understandable. He couldn't, for the life of him, remember why he had left Brian Adonis Kinney for ethan chin-rat gold. He suspected even drawing a comparison between the two would somehow screw up the universe and he certainly didn't want to be responsible for the ramifications of throwing the planets out of alignment.

Well, as much as he wanted to stay and play Ethan's game, NOT, he decided it was time for him to be on his way. He turned the corner and walk/jogged to the bus stop. He had no doubt the clueless musician would be hot on his heels. Luckily the bus came almost right away so Justin was able to slip away without having to confront Ethan again. He was on his way back to the loft. He knew he had to put an end to this insanity and he knew there was only one person that could help him do it.
