You Lied

Lisa was thinking about him meeting a girl after she woke up. She was meddling to get over that feeling because she actualised that Louis was more than just a best friend for her. She was not a girl to keep her emotions and feeling to herself in her heart forever but then she thought she got a reason to keep.

Louis also realised that his feelings for Lisa were also more than just a best friend. She couldn't wait to get over her curiosity about him, meeting that girl secretly. So, she thought of asking him because she wanted to see what he says.

She texted him.

"Who were you with?"

"I told you that I went out for some work," he replied after some minutes.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, and why are you asking me that?" he asked.

"See, I know whom you just met. So, don't lie to me."

"What are you talking about Lisa?" he said in a frustrated voice.

"You went out to meet a girl. right?"

"No, I didn't meet any girl," he said.

"Then who was she?"

Louis didn't know what to say. He was thinking of an excuse to hide the truth of her mother. He couldn't let Lisa know anything about her unless she asks him to. So, he thought of an idea.

"I went to meet her because-," he texted but wasn't able to complete his phrase.

"Then, what made you fake it before me that you are going out for some work," she asked him through text.

"WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME SO MANY OF QUESTIONS?"

Lisa could understand that he was not comfortable about telling her anything related to that girl. So, she ended up the conversations with just one word.

"Okay."

He was cursing himself for yelling at her for nothing but he couldn't let the truth of her mother slip out from his tongue. His mind stopped working for a second, as he didn't know what to do.

So, he made up his mind to apologise for his misbehave to Lisa.

So, he texted her.

"I'm sorry Lisa. I didn't mean to behave that way."

She was just sitting silent for some minutes not because he yelled at her because he lied to her for that girl. She never thought that some other girl would come in between them. But she didn't know that he went out to meet her mother who wanted to know about her well being. She didn't notice his message.

He was waiting for her answer but it seemed different. He knew he messed up that time over a silly topic. With all courage, he got up and thought of having some minutes with her face to face. He knocked on her door, she came and looked out to see who was there but when she noticed him standing there, she just went inside without even asking him to get in. He got inside and sat beside her. She knew that for what he was there. Soon he broke the silence and apologised for his behaviour.

"Lisa, I'm so sorry for that," he managed to say with a guilty face. She just hummed in response.

"Please talk to me," he pleased her.

She turned her gaze and asked him straight.

"Why did you lie to me?"

He went blank with that question because he didn't know the answer.

"If you don't have an answer, then you may leave. I never thought you would lie to me for that girl," she explained.

"It's not what you think, it was just some work," he expressed with a sad feeling.

"Why did you lie to me?" she asked him again.

"I can not tell you the reason. And I'm sorry for that," he said because he was asked to keep that a secret.

She didn't want to ask him anything anymore and looked at him with an unhappy expression. He was so hurt to hide the truth from her about her mother but he couldn't do anything to make things clear between them.

He could never think of someone else because from his childhood he always liked Lisa as a best friend and more. He was out of thought because he didn't know what to do to make it up for Lisa. There was so much silence between them and neither of them knew how to break that. She was hurt and he was too. Without anything more, Lisa went away from there and got into her room but before that, she said, "If nothing more then leave." He could hear the sound of the door closing up. There, they both failed to understand each other's feelings.

Louis got up and left her house without making any sound with some tears in his eyes. Lisa tried to sleep again to get off those thoughts but wasn't able to.

So, she played some music to experience some good feelings. She was listening to music and a tear escaped from one corner of her eyes. She wiped it away and continued to listen to the music. Louis understood his mistake and even he apologised for lying to her but he also understood that he lied to her again which he never wanted specifically to her. He made his way to his house with a sad look on his face that everyone around could notice. He got into his room and his gaze falls on that stone. He took that stone in his hand and caressed those words with care and love that could be seen in his eyes.

"MY BEAUTIFUL YOU"

A weak smile crept on his face after seeing that stone and some tears left his eyes.

It seemed that it would take a long road to make them confess to each other because they both were unsure about each other's emotions.

The feeling was new to both of them and special too. They enjoyed their long journey from stranger to best friends.

"It seemed beautiful to fell in love with your best friend because I believe that they would stay with you always even in your hard times too."
