A Lie

    We reached on the street, He saw me looking for a cab in mobile.

    "I can drop you" He asked, pointing to the parking side.

    "I will manage" I replied, pointing to the phone.

    "You are coming with me" He held my hand and pulled me to the parking lot.

    He opened a door, I stepped in his car. I wonder how he managed to buy this expensive car, though his new job is a technician, it doesn't give him much salary to maintain this.

    "Is this yours?, this looks expensive" I asked, trying not to sound weird.

    "No, my boss's I asked him for once, for you" He replied starting the car.

    "Nice, I just love that man,"  I replied, looking all over inside the car.

    "Do you?" He asked, managing his mirror, and smiling.

    "I mean as a human being. He is great, but really any girl can fall for him. How beautiful his heart is, just take this example, you are newly joined, but he did not deny to give this car to you."

    "Yeah I agree" He replied in vanilla tone.

    "By the way, you never talk about yourself, I mean I told you about my family, my address, you almost know everything about me" I asked, raising my voice.

    "I have very less to share. I lost my mom many years ago, My dad lives in an Old age home, I live alone."

    "Old age home? Why? Don't you treat him well?" I asked frustratedly, looking at him.

    "Haha, It's nothing like that, I mostly stay out for my work, also his best friend lives there, so he lives there to show him the place is not abandoned, and it's a good place to live. So it was his choice, I don't bother him. I keep visiting every morning, I see him happy there, so I don't ask him to move with me again" He said, driving.

    "That's really great of you both, I mean he is an example for many."

    "Yeah he is"

    We remained silent for a while. I kept looking through the window, I am feeling so alive. Maybe it's because after decades I have shared what part of my life bothers me most. 

    Denver saw me staring at him through the side window. I immediately looked away. 

    "Do you want me to come tomorrow at 388" He asked, smiling.

    "Yeah if my computer shows any difficulty" I said in a vanilla tone, looking away from him.

    He noticed rage in my voice. He stopped the car at the side of the road, in the dark.

    "And what if it does not show any difficulty?" He asked, turning to me.

    "Then, good for you"  I said looking at him,

    "Anger doesn't suits you, I already said I have not taken transfer, it was just a joke"

    "No issue, I am leaving ADC soon, you will be free always"

    "What? I mean why?" He moved closer to me

    "I don't owe you answers" I said, looking into his eyes. Making a grumpy face.

    He pulled me towards him, grabbed my face between both his palms and kissed me hard. And whispered gnashing his anger "Don't make me mad"

    His kissing on my lips was too sudden, I did not realise how to react, I was still, looking into his eyes straight. He was looking back in to my eyes, expecting me to react, But he may have understood me being scared, my face was still stuck in to his palm, his he whispered again "I am sorry, but I don't like you angry with me" 

    He kissed me again. But this time it was different, This time he was not just angry, I felt something, it shook my whole body. I put my hands on his neck, I started rubbing his neck passionately, and kissing him back, he kissed more hard and passionately. 

    He removed his hand from my face and pulled me above him, he moved his hands lower. Rubbing my body, he unbuttoned a few buttons of my shirt, and moved his hand inside my bra, he grabbed my breast, rubbing my back with his other hand. He removed my hair clip. I kept rubbing his body. I removed his t-shirt, and started kissing on his neck, he kept rubbing passionately, we both were sweating, though the AC in the car was at its lowest temperature. We kept our eyes closed, kept caressing each other's body, moving our fingers all over the body of each other,  kissing everywhere passionately, We were lost in each other.  

    My phone rang, which made to come us in our senses, It was Linda's call,

    "Hello" I replied, managing my breath, moving my hairs back.

    "Hello, I have applied for leave for few days, don't wait for me" She said,

    "Ok, fine" I replied, moving back to my seat.

    "Are you ok?, you sound breathless" Linda asked in a worrying tone.

    "Yeah, I was just warming up, working out." I replied, trying to sound normal.

"You go girl, you should do it regularly, good for you, keep it up" Linda said, cheering me up.

    "Yeah, I will call you later" I said, embarrassingly thinking, what if she found out exactly what kind of warm up I was doing.

    I cut the call off, Denver was already dressed up while me talking with Linda. I turned my back to him, and closed the buttons of my shirt. I tied my hair again. Isn't it strange, that couple get naked together, and hide themselves while dressing up, I am one of them.

    We were both silent and nervous until we reached my place. I left his car immediately when we reached, I didn't even wait for him to come out to say good night. I stepped forward, as soon as I could, I did not turn. He may have left immediately, or later. I was embarrassed, I don't want him to notice

                                                                                            ***

    It's been 11.30, more than an hour has passed since I came in office, but still I haven't attended one call properly, whatever happened between me and Denver yesterday, is still running in my mind. I still can feel his hand on my lap, His lips on my neck.Thinking of last night is making me more embarrassed, I will not be able to face him ever, I have switched my phone off since I reached home last night.  I can't get over it. It's not because I did not like it, but because it was too sudden and fast, maybe not for him because he initiated it, but I shall not have acted desperately wanting it. 

    "What the hell is wrong with you, I tried to call you 100 times, texted you numerous times" Denver turned my chair to him. I definitely expected him to come to my office after me ignoring his calls texts, but not in this way.

    "Shh, It's my workplace, they will kick me out." I immediately whispered, getting up and handing him over the chair, so he could do the computer service drama. I sat on Linda's chair pulling near him so he would use his voice lower. This is the time I wanted Linda to be here, so at least Denver would have acted little normal.

    "Where is your phone, and why is it switched off?" He asked, he was mad at me.

    "Battery issue, what happened, come to the point" I replied, looking away from me.

    "I know, you are ignoring me, last night you did not wish me a night, you did not turn though I was waiting right there, since then your phone is switch of continuously, I warned you already, don't do this to me ever"

    "You are pissed off, because I did not wish you a night or turned to smile??"

    "See whatever happened last night, I did not mean anything, let's keep it casual, please pretend like it never happened, don't punish me for it please" He said in a convincing tone, looking into my eyes.

    I immediately looked away from him. Till now I was ignoring him maybe because it was nervousness after sudden making out, but I did not expect this from him. I felt something for him, also I felt he had some feelings too. It was not a casual thing, at least not for me. How he could say it so easily, I am blank with his words, I don't know how to react, I don't know what to say about he did not mean anything of whatever happened. I was very nervous, but somewhere I liked it, I wanted it to happen, I couldn't control myself because I meant every kiss, every touch. I am still and cold, his words made me silent.

    "So special Service for Special users" Austin jumped in between our conversation, in a sarcastic tone.

    I was shocked by what he said, I thought he was convinced with my answer last time. Me and Denver both looked at him with our eyes wide open.

    "Hello Austin" I got up and went close to him.

    "Why did you lie to me?" He asked, looking at me, with a smile on my face. Denver turned to the computer screen pretending to work.

    "What are you talking about" I asked, stuttering, trying to act normally.

    "You are dating Denver, right?" Austin asked straight into my eyes. Denver stopped typing and lifted his head up, His ears were on us, maybe to hear my response to Austin.

    "Be clear Austin, what happened?" I replied, trying to remember whether he saw me and Denver together in the office garden.

    "Why did you hide from me that you are dating Mr. Denver White, the agency owner and that's why he keeps sending his technicians for service, to make you feel special." Austin's voice was firm, he was uttering each word looking into my eyes.

    "Who told you all this nonsense?" I asked, frustrated.

    "I knew you were hiding something. When you called me Denver last time mistakenly, I started looking for Denver in ADC, I found out there is only one Denever in ADC, the owner of the agency, and then I remember you calling yourself his fan, you would have propose him if you could have, man with golden heart n bla bla and now he is sending his technician again and again for service, now this technician saying special user to you, maybe whole ADC knows about your affair with his boss, except me" Austin was upset, he left immediately, showing how angry he was with me.

     Of course, he had feelings for me, I knew it. We dated in back, he was trying me to come in his life back, he had all the rights to know if there was anything like this. But here I was broken too, I was betrayed by Denver. I looked at him, He got up, his face was clearly showing that whatever Austin said was right, Denver lied to me.

    "Is this true?" I went close to Denver, asking gnashing my anger, looking at his face.

    "But I was going to tell you soon" He immediately held my hand in his, trying to calm me down.

    "Please leave, don't ever show me your face again, Leave right now" I screamed, in a voice as low as I can manage. 

    "Babe please, listen to me once." He said, trying to hold my hand and convince me.

    "Leave" I said, lowering my voice. Looking away from him. 

    "Fine, But you need to listen to me once, switch your phone on." 

    A drop of tear dropped from my eye, when he left. I wanted to cry, I was broken, I was already hurt by his words about last night, it already had broken my heart in a thousand pieces but what Austin said made me fall into my own eyes. Believing Denver was the biggest mistake I have ever made. Also, I called Austin my friend. I was feeling guilty for him too.
