You Lied.

Chapter 7

Shanly Celestia Cohen’s POV

“I’ll be gone for two weeks, Babe. Don’t miss me that much, okay?”

Kenji jokingly said as he buttoned his shirt back.

I just laughed at him as I wore my dress back too.

“Why don’t you go with me instead, huh Shanly?” He then said and

Started to walk towards my back and embrace me.

“You know that I can’t right? My company need me, and–” I didn’t

Even finished my sentence.

“And you can’t leave that good for nothing Man? For pete’s sake,

Shanly! You don’t have to be stuck with that Keith. I’m here to satisfy

You in all aspects that you want me too.” Kenji frustratingly exclaimed.

He then made me face him and hold both of my shoulders.

“You can leave him and be with me, Babe.” He added in a soft tone.

I closed my eyes as I felt what’s on my heart.

I cannot leave Keith like this, he gave everything to me, He is truly a

Good Boyfriend and a person as a whole, and he loves me

Unconditionally.

But Kenji given me the excitement, the thrill that I don’t know I was

Looking for.

I exhaled loudly as I opened my eyes again to look at Kenji.

“I’ll think about it, Okay?” I softly replied as I held his hand on mine.

Kenji then took a deep breath and let it out, sighing in defeat.

“At least you’ll be thinking about it. I’ll just settle with that for now.”

He replied as he placed a kiss on my forehead.

“Should I drop you off at your house?” He then asked me as he get

His keys on the hotel’s bedside table.

“No, thank you, Babe. I’ll be meeting Elyza on a restaurant tonight so

Yeah I’ll get going first.” i answered as get near him and placed a kiss

On his cheek then exited the room and went to hail a cab.

But instead of going to the restaurant to meet Ely which I said to

Kenji that I actually lied, I went to Keith’s house.

Even if I’m basically cheating on Keith, I still can’t deny the fact that I

Still care for him.

He’s been there in those times that I doubted myself, he constantly

Reminding me on how special I am and what great thing I could

Possibly do. He never left me when everyone does, he stayed even

Though I know myself of how Keith changed just for me, on how he turn

His back to him not so good old habits just show me that he’s Worthy of may yes.

But then, Here’s Kenji in my life. He’s one of my employees in my

Company. At first, It was just a plain boss-employee relationship that

Is between us, but not until he confesses that he likes me and tried

To seduce me which I unfortunately gave in.

I don’t really want to cheat on Keith but shits happened and I’m just a

Human beings who’ve been tempted.

Not long enough, the cab pulled over in front of Keith’s house. I then

Paid and abruptly went inside. Yet I noticed that it was unusually

Quiet.

“Keith?” I called as I turned the lights on.

I then looked at my wrist watch and it said 7:16 pm.

“It’s still early, I think Keith is still in his office.” I said to myself and

Made my way towards his bedroom’s bathroom to take a bath and

Change into comfortable clothes.

After freshen up, I decided to cook some dinner so that we could

Already eat after Keith arrives.

I was singing and dancing to the beat of the music I played while

Cooking.

Keith loves watching me cooking because according to him, I look sexy

While doing so and basically, he can’t cook something edible yet.

I unconsciously smiled as I remember his face while saying those to

Me.

Such a cutie.

After I finished cooking Keith’s favorite dish, I placed myself in the

Sofe in his living room and looked at my wrist watch once again.

My eyebrows creased, it’s already past 10 pm, Keith should be home

By now.

I then grabbed my phone and dialed his number.

Calling Kitty keith…

Yet the other line was answered by the operator.

“What the heck?” I muttered.

I remember strictly saying to Keith the he shouldn’t turn or let his

Phone off and which he willingly obliged until now.

I tried to call him again once again but it was still the same.

I frustratedly dropped my phone on my side but then I suddenly

Remembering Keith’s best friend.

“Maybe they’re together.” I said as I reached for my phone and stood

Up then dialed his number.

Luckily, he answered it after 3 rings.

“Are you with Keith?” I abruptly asked him, slight irritation can be

Heard of my tone.

I know how wild Keith’s friends can be and just by thinking what

Craziness they bought him this time boils my blood.

“Oh, well, hello to you too, Shanly Cohen.” Tristan then replied with

Sarcasm.

“Are you with Keith?” I just repeated my question at him with the same

Tone and manner.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m fine with Keith’s friends, we’re friends too but

When at a time like this, I just can’t help but to think of other things

Knowing their reputations way back on high school and college,

Especially Keith’s

“Nope, But earlier, yes.” He answered coolly.

One thing I like about Tristan is he has this long patience with his for

People like me.

“Where is he? And why the heck I can’t contact him?” I abruptly

Questioned him.

“He was at his grandfather’s private island and I don’t freakin’

Know why can’t you contact him.” Tristan answered.

His Grandfather’s private Island? That was quite far from here.

What the heck is he doing there?

But before I could ask that question, Tristan then spoke again.

“Keith set up a dinner for you two there. He said that you two had a

Misunderstanding and he want to make it up to you yet after setting

Up, he called you and I don’t know what happened after coz he just

Tightened his grip on his phone and when I approach him he

Suddenly burst out, he shove and broke everything away the

Cried.” Tristan lengthy explained.

My heart suddenly melted at what he said but at the same time,

Worries came to me.

What happened that made him act that way?

Keith is known for his long patience and deep understanding. He

Tends to take everything inside him even if it is hard or heavy it is.

“Oh, okay. Thank you, Tristan and sorry for the attitude.” I then

Apologize sincerely, guilty of my actions earlier.

“No worries, Shawny.” Tristan replied lightly and hung up the call.

I then took a deep breath and plopped myself back on the sofa.

Where are you, Keith?
