A/N: Damn it! I said I wouldn't repeat characters but...ah well.
Lying by omission - omitting an important fact, deliberately leaving another person with a misconception
"Hello?"
"Allo, ma chérie [1]! Have you got any plans for today?"
Your mouth pulled itself into a taut smile as you heard the familiar French accent on the other side.
"No, Francis. I don't have any plans but-"
"Bonne, ma chère [2]! Then join me at the beach, d'accord [3]?"
I sighed. "Francis...are you asking me, or ordering me?"
"Who could order a lady as beautiful as yourself?" he chucked from the other side of the phone. You rolled your eyes, even though he couldn't see it.
"Are you gonna leave it if I say 'no'?"
"Mais [4], why? Why would you say no?" You sighed inwardly. Knowing Francis, he wouldn't give up until you said 'yes', and there was no way that you were going to ruin your beautiful summer's day with his incessant bugging...talking about a beautiful summer's day, it really was beautiful day outside, maybe it wouldn't hurt all that much...
"Fine. What do I have to bring?"
"Nothing, ma chérie! I'll be there in ten minutes. À plus! [5]" And with that he hung up.
You looked at your phone, puzzled. 'Nothing' probably meant nothing extra, right? Shrugging, you went to get your swimwear and other necessities...
~x~
When you got to the beach, you couldn't help but look around, shocked beyond reason.
"FRANCIS, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT THIS WAS A CLOTHING-OPTIONAL BEACH?"
Pretty basic things to translate, bet you guys won't need it! But anyway:
[1] Hello, my dear
[2] Good, my dear. Someone correct me as to whether it's supposed to be 'bon' or 'bonne'
[3] Okay?
[4] But
[5] See you later!
