Lie To Me

Chapter 10: 10

My days passed like a blur. I also just locked myself in my apartment for a whole week and if Hans

hadn't bothered me, I wouldn't have been able to go out.

All week I reflected on what had happened in the past few days, and to this day I still cannot accept

that my actions were just like that. And every time I do that, I only prove more and more stupid for that

person.

But is it my fault?

I have been questioning myself about it and this is the worst part of it. That every time I punish myself

for my actions I always end up with another question; that if it's my fault, I'm still acting like that even

years later? Is it wrong for me to be like that because until now I am not ready? I'm not ready yet

because I'm still hurting. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

I sighed.

I never thought I would end up with this thinking, with this situation.

If I only knew.

"What do you and Russell have?" Reysa asked. Startled, I turned to her.

This woman, come to me just for that question. It was still work time and many papers are waiting on

my desk for today.

"Friends." I answered.

"Friends my ass. You're always together then just friends? Who are you kidding?" She said.

"We're just friends." I repeated.

I stopped looking at him and resumed the work. Maybe later someone will see us and we will both be

sent disciplinary action because we chatted during work hours.

"No friends will pick you up at your house and are willing to wait four hours for your shift to end every

day." She said. "You two are more than friends, admit it when you're bored!" She insisted more.

I shook my head and laughed at his conclusion

"Girl, we are just friends, but he admitted that he likes me. But we're really just friends right now." I

admitted.

Her palm immediately flew to my arm. It hurts.

"You're so flirty! Is he courting you already?" She asked.

I shook my head. "No. I mean, he hasn’t asked me about it yet so I guess, he’s still not." I said

laughing. "We’re just friend, really." I repeat again.

That\s the truth. He didn't flirt with me because he didn't say so. He just admitted that he liked me and

that was it.

"What kind is that? Just admit it and then it's gone? It's just like that?" He asked more.

"Yes, that's right. So, go back to your place before the D.A sends us here." I'm away from her. I still

laughed.

"I do not believe." She said. "I know you don't assume but you're not dense either, I know you already

know what's next, Ja. I just hope you're flirting right." He struggled before getting up and returning to

his seat.

I just laughed back at him while he was still staring from his seat.

If I only knew that this was the outcome, I would have avoided it from the beginning.
