I'm A Good Liar

I stopped myself from gasping and quickly returned to watching the two quarrel.

Scarlet turned away and wouldn’t meet his eyes. Ricky uncrossed his arms and walked toward her then took her by the arm. “If someone did that to you would you like it?” he asked seriously.

If I remember correctly, Scarlet told me that Ricky saw her as nothing but a sister. A child even. She knew that he was aware of the fact that she likes him, but she also knew that he saw it as nothing but a childish infatuation. Ouch. I think Scarlet has a worse situation than I do. At least West doesn’t see me as a child… or does he? I frowned as I remembered that girl hug my West. MY West. I’m definitely going to ask the twins to help me with making her get away from him. Hehehehe….

“Scarlet!”

“BECAUSE!” she burst out, “You are an IDIOT! Why were you kissing her? She’s awful!”

Ricky narrowed his brown eyes at her, “Who I kiss is none of your business.”

Scarlet looked like she’d been slapped. She glared at him. “Right. None of my business. I don’t care. Why’d you kiss her? She’s your ex.”

“It was nothing but a kiss!” Ricky snapped. “What are you getting so worked up for Scar!?”

It seemed to me like Ricky really did think nothing of it. He did look like the kind of guy who doesn’t take a kiss seriously, and was just playing around.

But Scarlet didn’t like it. Meaning they must’ve done that in front of her. Ricky, you idiot.

“You know I like you,” Scarlet said.

Ricky looked uncomfortable. But he wisely didn’t say anything.

“And you’ve been ignoring the topic for as long as I can remember. I finally came back to hear your dumb reply. Why not shoot me down already. I don’t make assumptions of your answer based on your actions. I want to hear it straight from you,” she said angrily.

Before Ricky could say anything, Scarlet stepped forward and…kissed him.

I felt my face grow hot as I saw them kiss. Ricky seemed to respond.

Scarlet then pulled away, stared straight into his surprised brown eyes and walked out.

I was as stunned as Ricky.

Maybe five seconds after she left, Ricky snapped out of it. “Oh no, you’re not getting away from me that easily,” he grumbled as he ran out. I think I heard Scarlet scream.

I smiled. Scarlet made it look like a cool exit, but it was just a cover up so that she won’t have to face him after boldly kissing him. And Ricky figured it out as well.

Someone was cracking up beside me. “So they finally made some progress huh?” he said between laughs.

“You know Ricky and Scarlet?” I asked.

“Yes, the question is, how come you know them too? You’re not from our school nor do you live within this neighborhood.” His calculative hazel eyes rested on me and I didn’t know how to answer that.

“I’m Natt and Nick’s friend. They invited me here, told me that they wanted me to have some fun after being in the hospital for so long,” I said, looking at the floor to hide my embarrassment at telling such a lie. It was the story the twins had told me to answer people when they asked what relation do I have with them.

His eyes sparkled with amusement. “Hmm… So, how’d the twins meet you in the hospital? Why were they there?”

I gulped. Scratching the wig and still avoiding eye contact, I said, “Natt broke an arm and passed by my open room, they decided to talk to me and we became friends…” I said. My voice faltered at the end and I was so nervous that I think my right eye was twitching.

“Really now?” he said. “Why were you in the hospital?”

I knew that was coming. “Comatose. I hit my head when I was eleven and woke up last year.”

He smiled, “You’ve been through a lot, haven't you?”

I nodded. My heart was pounding in my chest and I was scared to death of saying the wrong answer.

He quirked a brow, “What was the name of the hospital?”

“Sorry, I don’t remember. Because I hit my head, I lost a few fragments of my memory and it also seems I’m down with short term memory loss.”

His lips trembled and twitched and he turned his back on me while his shoulders shook. I wondered why…

He turned back to me and leaned back. “What’s your favorite food?”

“Pizza”

“Color?”

“Blue”

“Sport?”

“Badminton”

He started firing rapid question and I was answering them nervously and most of the answers were truly mine.

“Birthday?”

“Feb. 2!”

“Cup size?”

“B!”

Wait.

Oh fudgecake.

The guy smiled and took my chin between his index finger and his thumb. His handsome face broke into a very charming grin while his eyes twinkled with amusement and mischief. He said, “My name is Walker Stone. Now tell me, what's your real name, Nash?”
