Part 3 already! I swear getting reviews motivates me to write, I NEVER write this quickly! This is turning out a bit like The Hangover….0_o well I had my idea and if it happens to be similar, then so be it. Although, really, it's different. What a pointless sentence. I hope you enjoy!
After almost an hour of waiting by the door, Antonio concluded that Lovina was going to need bringing home. He swallowed a couple of painkillers before grabbing his keys and hurrying to the car. He was surprised to see Lovina's car still in the drive, meaning she can't be far away. He realised she must be at her sister's so drove off and soon arrived. Trying unsuccessfully to do up his shirt without any buttons, he took the whole thing off and got out, knocking on Feliciana's door. She opened the door looking less lively than usual but he hardly noticed; there was only one thing on his mind and that was finding his Lovina.
"Is Lovi here?" he asked quickly, skipping his usual greeting.
"Toni! Oh, um, I-I'll fetch Ludwig." She blushed and nervously backed away from the door and hurried off to fetch him. Antonio frowned slightly, he didn't have time to talk to Ludwig.
Soon enough, Ludwig walked up to him, looking tired.
"Guten tag Antonio. Why you aren't wearing a top?"
"Oh that," he blushed a little. "I'll be gone soon but have you seen Lovi?"
"Ja, she was here earlier but the sisters had one of their fights and she left again. What happened between you two?" Antonio sighed and shrugged trying to look carefree but feeling like he was about to break down.
"She's mad about last night."
"What? Is that it? Mein gott, that woman..." Ludwig shook his head in disbelief and stepped away from the door so Antonio could come in, and he did so, angry at the insult to his querido.
"Feliciana," Antonio called out, trying to push away the worry in his heart that Lovi was needing him and he wasn't there. She sheepishly came out the kitchen and smiled weakly at him and then glanced at Ludwig, then back at Toni.
"What did you say to Lovi? Where did she go?"
Feliciana hesitated a moment and then after a stern look from Ludwig, everything poured out of her mouth, words tripping over themselves she spoke so quickly.
"She told me what happened at that thing all the men went to, Gilbert's birthday party, and she said Gilbert said that you said that I'm better than her and she blamed me but it wasn't my fault I was here the whole time and when Ludwig got back he was really poorly so I was just looking after him, I didn't do anything wrong! She told me that Ludwig said bad things too but I didn't listen to her, I don't believe Ludwig would say such things and I got angry. She was supposed to go home I thought everything would be okay!"
She burst into tears and ran past a dumbstruck Antonio who was still processing all that, and into Ludwig's arms.
"Veeee, me dispiace!" she sobbed, muffled against Ludwig. Toni felt himself getting more frustrated. So Gilbert was the problem. One of his best friends was responsible for this.
"Ludwig, we never said those things, did we?" he asked quietly, a frown forming on his face.
"In all honesty, I…I cant really remember much at all of last night. I like to think not."
"Call me if she comes back here." Antonio picked up Lovina's forgotten bag and walked back out the house over to his car, buckling Lovi's bag in the passenger seat.
"Where are you going?" Ludwig asked, Feliciana clinging to him like a limpet as he slowly made it to the doorway.
Antonio had to decide, keep looking for Lovina or get the truth out of Gilbert about that party. Did he even want to know if he'd said that? He glanced back up to Feliciana, still sniffling, and felt nothing positive, especially after she'd upset Lovina further. He wanted Lovi and only her.
"I'm going to wake Gilbert up," he smiled, feeling calmer now he has another plan, and even waved at them before driving across town to his old apartment where Francis and Gilbert still lived.
