Trap Drabbels

Only two, but they’re cut for language and adult themes. And a huge thank-you to the people who are following these. It’s nice to know that they’re being read and appreciated. First one is set around ‘The First Times The Charm.’ Second one somewhere around ‘Back 01’.
Tripping Up
“Rupert.”
His voice was casual, and that was enough to let me know something was up. I stopped dead, half-way through the sitting-room, even though every instinct was telling me to keep going, and to get out of there.
“Yes, father?”
“Where were you last night?”
Giving a mate some head. Oh yes, I could just see how well that would go down. Not. Adrian Giles, dead from a heart attack at the age of forty-five.
“Working in the main library. Like I said.”
“I came to pick you up.”
Bugger. That was a trap I just walked right into.
Playing It Up
Back tight against the wall.
Fear.
Heart pounding, every muscle straining. The sound of heavy footsteps, a shit-kicking tattoo being beat against the floor.
Was he still angry? I didn’t really want to find out.
He was drawing closer, I could feel it in the air. Could practically taste him, so close.
No way out.
I was caught like a rat in a fucking trap.
Then he came into view, gave me a smile that’d never fooled me.
“Ethan. Get your bloody arse out here before we start without you. Damned place looks like a bomb exploded.”
Forgiven. This time.
