Broken Promise

I turned around to see Penelope already standing at the entrance of her house, her hands resting on her hips.

" Was that Alex?" Penelope asked me as I made my way to her with the parcel which Penelope send me.

" Yes." I replied. She let me inside her house.

" Is there something between you two?" she asked closing the door behind and taking me to the drawing-room to sit. I sat on the couch and put the parcel box on the floor.

" No." I said and she poured a glass of water for me.

" Don't lie. I have known Alex for quite a time. He won't just drop you at my house if he has nothing to do with you." she said and handed me the glass of water. I take a sip and gulped it down.

" Tell me." she said again. "Please." she said, joining her hands together and making a little puppy face.
