You Lied.

Chapter 6

Keith Jace Carter’s POV

After what happened on the island, I chose to stay here for the rest of

The day Tristan respected my decision.

“Just call me when You want to go home and I will abruptly fly here

To fetch you, okay?” He said and I just forced a little smile and nod

At him.

When I was finally alone, I slowly made my m=way to the seashore and

Stare at its vastness for a while before going all the way to the sea

And let myself float in the water, not minding if my phone was still on

My pants; pocket.

I looked up to the night sky and it was filled with beautiful stars who

Are shining brightly with the perfectly round moon.

You're gonna love this view if you were here, Shanly.

I shut my eyes close sa I remember the day that I first had and

Encounter with Shanly way back on my last year in college

Flashback…

“What the heck, Keith? You’ve just kissed that girl for five seconds and

You already broke up with her?!” Tristan exclaimed as he wipe off the

Smudge from the food that dropped on his jacket caused by the girl

He said that I broke up just now.

“She’s a bore.” I just simply answered as I roamed my eyes around

The campus, finding a new person to have fun with.

Tonight is our acquaintance party and I’m obligated to attend this

Boring party because it is one of the requirements for the seniors to

Graduate.

Stupid school.

My attention was then caught by a commotion near the stage.

“Are you blind?! Look, my top’s all wet!” A girl hissed at another girl

Who had her head down now.

The girl who’s top are wet is wiping it as if it would dry that way and I

Can’t help but to scan her features.

She had this long brunette hair, perfectly drawn eyebrows, long

Thing eyelashes, proud nose, luscious lips, gorgeously curve body,

And her small round-eyes that totally made me turn my whole

Attention to her.

I don’t know what’s gotten into me but I just felt like I was obligated

To walk towards them and I unconsciously did.

“I’m really sorry, Miss Shanly.” I heard the other girl said as she still

Held her head down.

So Shanly is the name of this beautiful woman.

“What’s happening here?” I then butted in as i looked at the other

Girl who was seemed to be shocked as well as the other students

Because of my presence.

I don’t usually talk or start a conversation with other people aside

From if you’re my fu interest at the moment. I am just always with

My circle of friends and Tristan, so this intrusions of mine is quite new

To others as well as to myself either.

I then slowly place my gaze towards Shanly.

She then flicker her gaze onto me too and I almost passed-out when

I met her eyes.

Why the heck is my heart beating this fast?

She looked at me for about a minute.

“It’s none of your business.” She then deadly hissed at me and

Walked away from the crowd.

I was left agape as well as the students around us. Nobody talks

To Keith Jace Carter that way, especially in this school.

But then again, a mysterious force made me drag my feet towards

The direction she went, following her, not minding the comments of

The crowd and Tristan’s calling.

What the heck is happening to me?

I then saw her in the school garden. She’s still wiping her top as she

Murmurs incoherent words.

I slowly made my way towards her.

“Here, wear this. It’s cold and your top is all wet. It’ll make you sick.”

I said as I hand her my jacket with my usual smile that I use to allure

The girls around me.

I heard her cute gasp as she turned around at me with her hands on

Her chest. I laughed at her reaction.

Cute.

“What the hell are you doing here? Are you following me?

What are you planning to do? Are you going to r**e me? Don’t you dare, I’m a

Black-celter in taekwondo.” She then spotted at me she

Positioned herself into a fighting position with her feline eyes shooting

Me daggers.

That only made me chuckle more.

“Hold up there woman. I ain’t r****t, it’s impossible for a face like

This to be one, right?” I playfully answered her.

“And how could I r**e someone under the beautiful night sky like

This? I’ll just disrespect the universe.” I added as I look up into

The sky was filled with bright stars and a fully round moon.

Shanly then went silent for a moment and when I looked back at her,

I saw how her eyes reflected the brightness of the twinkling stars as

She looked at the night sky with a smile on her lips.

Beautiful.

But feeling my gaze unto her, she abruptly face me again and eyes

Me for about a minute before standing straight again, turning back

Intp her cold and bitchy persona again.

“What are you doing here?” She repeated her question as she still

Bore her eyes on me.

“Are you new here? I think it’s my first time seeing you in this shitty

School and I don’t think that I would miss out a beautiful woman like

You are in the vicinity.” Instead of answering her question, I bombard

Her with a question of my own with of course, a little bit of flirting.

But her retort really shocked me.

“I’m sorry but I won’t fall on your tricks, Sir. Carter.” She winked

At me and started to walk back towards the grand ball.

How did she know my name?

But before she could completely pass through me, She stopped and

Grabbed my jacket on my hands and wrapped herself with it then

Lean closer to my ears and whispered in an awfully seductive tone,

“And oh, thank you so much for this. Bye.” That was her last words

Before she continued walking away.

I was them left in there with my mouth hang open, whole being

Shaking, and my heart at stake.

“Shanly, you're gonna be the death of me…”

End of flashback…..

I slowly flickered my eyes open and smiled bitterly at the memory.

From that moment, I pursued Shanly and I completely change my

Whole life just to deserve her.

But then,

Are my efforts weren’t enough?

Am I not enough?

I sighed as the pain cut deeper within my heart once again.

Then I felt my eyes watered, teardrops from my eyes joining the sea.

“Why, Shanly?”

I whispered as I let my eyelids dropped and let myself be drowned by

The deep cold sea.

TBC.....
