Rejection

Chapter 6: Ben's Fury

"Did you just say date?" Ben asked

"Indeed," she said

"Alex, what is she talking about?" he asked

"Look man, I can explain," I said still trying to find a way to fix this

"What does she mean by date?" he asked

"It's quite simple. I have instructed Alexander to find a location of our date" she said

"Is that true?" he asked looking at me

"Ben-"

"Absolutely. Lies never come from my precious lips" she said interrupting me

"Can you shut up for a second?" I said gritting my teeth angrily

"Didn't you say that if I went out with you, you wouldn't tell Ben" I said glaring at her

"No, I told you I wouldn't inform him of our kiss," she said

"You guys kissed!" Ben said shocked

"Oh f**k me" I cursed

"Twice actually," she said.

"SHUT UP!" I yelled at her

"I'm getting out of here," Ben said storming out

"Ben wait," I said chasing after him but before I could even leave the porch Elizabeth stepped in front of me

"What the hell are you doing?!" I asked angrily

"You have a date with me. How dare you up and leave" she scoffed

"ELIZABETH! I don't have time to deal with your shit anymore okay!" I shouted angrily

"I gotta go talk to my best friend before he becomes my ex-best friend. Thank you for that by the way" I said before running after Ben

"Ben wait for a second will you," I said running after him

"She's the one that asked me out! She's the one that kissed me" I said

"You think that's what I'm mad about" he scoffed walking faster

"Well...yeah. Isn't it?" I asked

"Then you obviously don't know me well," he said

"I've been getting that a lot lately" I joked

"You think this is funny" he glared

"No, I'm sorry. If it's not Elizabeth why are you upset?" I asked

"I don't care about Elizabeth. I care about the fact that you lied to me" he said

"That's bull. You told me you like her so I tried my best to stay away from her" I said

"Well, you suck at it. It's hard to stay away from someone when you're on a date with them" he said

"I tried to turn her down but I told you she won't take no for an answer. Plus she keeps blackmailing me" I said pleading my case

"Blackmailing? How is she blackmailing you?" he asked finally stopping

"She told me she'd tell you about the kiss," I said

"Kisses"

"No kiss. There was only one. I blocked her the second time she tried. There was only the time she kissed me at the party" I said putting my foot in my mouth

"So you did kiss someone at the party," he said picking up on my inadvertent confession

"That's not the...Yes I did" I said
