Love and Deceit

"Who is Concetta? And what girl are you looking for?" The sweet and familiar feminine voice caused me to swirl around almost impulsively.

"Belinda!! What were you? How long have you been standing there?" I asked with bulgy eyes because I knew I was in for some deep shit.

She stayed silent for a bit, but with the expression of fury in her eyes.

Her words soon echoed, more harshly before I could think up a plausible explanation, "Do you expect me to ask you for a second time?! Who the hell is Concetta goddammit?!" Her kitty eyes were now becoming bloodshot.

I couldn't muster up the courage to speak because whatever got my tongue glued was stronger than I thought.

Thinking my silence to be that I was indeed guilty of what her heart was telling her, she charged at me like an angry lion; almost prepared to devour me at once.
