Part 10

Paul headed into the kitchen and found Wil just standing there leaning against the bench. When he saw Paul enter he quickly made his way to the fridge, acting like he was looking for drinks.

�What�s going on Wil?�

Wil closed the fridge door and turned to look at Paul.

�What do you mean?�

�Don�t play innocent with me Wil. I know you remember. Come on spill it, what�s going on with you and Rove?�

�I don�t know what you�re talking about Paul. I only got here about twenty minutes ago.�

Paul knew that Wil wasn�t being honest with him. He somehow knew that there was something going on between Wil and Rove, he just had a feeling in his gut, but he also wondered just how he was going to get Wil to admit it.

Corinne sat on the couch in the lounge room, flicking through the stations on the television but not really paying attention to anything that was on. A few minutes later Rove re-emerged from the bedroom, now dressed in black pants and a light blue shirt. He walked over and sat down next to Corinne on the couch.

�You been deserted?�

�Yeah Paul and Wil are in the kitchen having a chat.�

Corinne could have sworn that Rove looked a bit worried when she said that.

�You okay?�

Rove smiled at her.

�Oh yeah I�m fine. Are you?�

�What do you mean?�

�I don�t know. When you left this afternoon it just seemed like something was wrong. You don�t regret what happened do you?�

Corinne shook her head.

�Of course not. Come on let�s go see what the other two are up to.�

Corinne got to her feet and quickly headed towards the kitchen. Rove knew that there was still something she wasn�t telling him, and he was determined to find out what it was before the night was over.

�So there�s nothing going on with you and Rove?�

�We�re friends Paul, nothing more. What about you and Corinne?�

�What are you talking about?�

Wil smiled.

�I�m not blind either Paul. I saw the way you two were looking at each other when you came in here. You�ve got the look of love mate.�

�Corinne and I are just friends, nothing more to it than that.�

Paul hoped that Wil believed him, but it was obvious from the look on his face that he didn�t. That made Paul even more determined to figure out just exactly what was going on with Wil and Rove. He was about to question Wil about it again when Rove and Corinne came into the kitchen and interrupted them.

Rove saw Paul and Wil standing there obviously in discussion with each other and he shot a nervous glance at Wil. Wil gave him a quick reassuring nod that didn�t go unnoticed by either Paul or Corinne. Rove then addressed them all.

�Ready to go?�

Paul nodded.

�Yep definitely. Let�s go.�

The four of them headed out of the kitchen and then out of the apartment, all four of them with a few things on their mind.
