Lie To Me novel Chapter 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.

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.

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.
