You Lied.

Chapter 18

Keith Jace Cohen’s POV

Iwas honestly startled seeing Shanly inside the bar, and to my luck

In the middle of me fcking someone senselessly on the couch but I

Took my all to show her that I don’t care if she caught me in this kind

Of this situation.

I looked directly on her with a smirk and locked my gaze on her eyes

As I suck my fingers clean from Alice’s o****m. She was a

Schoolmate way back on college and to her luck, my playmate for

The night.

These past few, I submerged myself on work at day and my

Fingers on girls at night. After working my ass of in the office, I

Always go to different bars to drown myself on alcohol and fine

Someone whom I can have fun with for the rest of the night and it

Wasn’t a hard thing to do given that a lot of girls tend to make their

Way towards me without me doing much effort.

And after fcking them, I just leave them like nothing happened, just

Like the old times, coz I don’t really do cuddles after s*x. Well, except

With Her.

I quickly shook my thoughts away as I focused my attention back to

That her, But I felt a pang of pain and guilt seeing Shanly’s eyes now

Filled with her tears.

Don’t be so foolish!!

She cheated on you first and did a lot more things with that guy!

Those voices in my head suddenly knocked some sense on me.

That’s right.

And with that thought, I dragged my gaze away from the brunette

And abruptly stood from my seat and left Alice who was still fixing

Herself.

“Hey, Keith! Wait up!” I heard Alice called me but I ignored her and

Just continued to walk pass through the huge crown in the dance

Floor.

But then when I was about to go out, someone called me but I know

For sure that it wasn’t Alice this time.

“KJ!!” I turned around and saw my good old friend, Gael.

“Hey, Bud.” I greeted him with a smile as we do some old handshake

Our squad used to make them.

Yeah, old school but tradition is tradition.

“I thought Shanly didn’t make it tonight but she suddenly called me

A while ago to help her get in.” He asked as he took a sip on the

Drink on his hand.

“Oh, yeah. You know her right? She had a terrible mood swings as

Well as decision shifting.” I forced a laugh, I just hope she won’t

Notice.

“Yeah.” Gael laughed too. “By the way, have you already seen you

Girlfriend?” he asked. I automatically winced when he utter the word

‘girlfriend’ but I Quickly hid it.

“Actually, I was on my way to find her. My phone went off that’s why I

Can’t call her.” The lie naturally rolled off my tongue as I was silently

Hoping that it would make him go his way so I can escape now.

“Oh, I guess your luck was on your side now, Cohen.” Gael then

Grinned at me and looked towards my back.

As my curious self, I turned around to look at what she was looking

And I crushed under my breath when I saw the least woman I want to

Talk right now.

“Hey, Shanly. Keith here was just looking for you, he said the his

Phone went off, that's why he can’t call you.” Gael greeted Shanly

As I almost want to slam my hand on my face.

“Oh yeah? How lucky it is for her, I’m here now.” I heard Shanly

Answered Gael but the sarcasm didn’t get missed by my ears.

“That’s what I was telling him1 Anyways, I’ll leave you guys here coz I

Need to find my girlfriend too. Ciao!” Gael bid his farewell which

Left me here alone with Shanly.

I don’t have any plan on talking to her nor sparing her another

Glance that’s why I just turn my back and started walking towards the

Exit like she didn’t exist at all.

When I was finally outside the bar and reached my car, I finally let

Out breath I didn’t know I was holding.

I shouldn’t have been to the party.

And I was about to open my car’s door when someone held my wrist

And pulled it to make me face whoever it is.

“What the fck?!” I yelled to whoever pulled me but my eyes

Widened when I was greeted by a fuming brunette.

“Yes, Keith, What the fck?! What the fck was that scenario I’ve

Witness a while ago? Huh?!” Shanly exclaimed, her eyes was

Obvious of anger.

I just looked at her but didn’t say anything. I just don’t think that

Having a conversation with a cheater still makes sense.

“What? Cat got your tongue? Or should I say, ‘That slut got you

Tongue?” She continued while still boring me with her intense gaze.

But then again, I didn’t answer her and just looked at her as if I was

Looking into something that doesn’t exist.

“Fcking answer me Keith! Damn it!” Shanly yelled at the top of her

Lungs with much anger laced on her voice that made those other

Person here in the parking lot looked at us.

I scan my eyes around first before I settle my gaze back at her again.

“You’ve seen what you saw. And I am very much aware that you’re

Not that dumb to not comprehend it yourself.” I coldly answer her,

My eyes and voice were void of any emotion.

And before I could once again turn my back on her, I saw how pain

Slowly painted and covered her eyes and how her tears once again

Cascade down through her soft cheeks.

Something then flicker on my heart at that sight of her; Pain.

But then my eyes still refuses to shed a tear despite of the intensity

Of the feeling.

Yet, I quickly erase the feeling on my heart, making it void with

Anything again.

Don’t get swayed by her lies anymore, Keith. You’ve been through a

Lot

Please…
