Lies or Love

Chapter 8

"Hey Miranda, you okay" Richard asked her as he walked into the conference room she was sitting in

"Uh yeah, I'm just relaxing my feet a little"

"Need anything?" He asked

"No sir I'm good" she smiled

"Mmhmm....well alright, I'll see you later" he walked out

"Please let me get through the day...okay" she said poking her stomach a little while smiling

"Baby you here" Miranda called out

"In the living room love" he said

"Ben, I need to talk to you and tell you something" Miranda said walking into the living room

"What's wrong" he asked getting worried

"I-" she was interrupted by his phone going off but he silenced it, but it went off again

"Just answer it" she rolled her eyes

"No this is more important" he said and his phone went off again

"Ben just answer the damn thing" she sighed

He walked into the kitchen and answered "what do you want" he whispered. Miranda eased her way to the kitchen door to listen because she wanted to know who was blowing Ben's phone up

"Listen Callie, I told you to stop calling I got everything under control" he whispered but Miranda heard

"Stop calling" he said and hung up, but when he turned around Miranda was standing there very upset

"Miranda I-"

"Why was you on the phone with Callie and what do you have under control" she asked

"What" he asked

"Don't play dumb Ben...how do you know Callie" she asked

"She's your best friend Miranda I-"

"She's my friend but how do you know her to have her number the only time y'all met was at the hospital, but she never gave you her name and neither did I"

"Look Miranda-"

"Don't try and lie to me Benjamin...how do you know her" she asked

"We met at the club" he sighed

"So you was going back there behind my back" she said as tears filled her eyes

"No Miranda, I would never do that to you" he said walking close to her but she backed away

"Miranda we met way before I met you" he said

"Tell me everything" she said

"Miranda-"

"Tell me and don't lie to me" she said

"Alright c-can you sit down please" he said sitting down at the table

"No. Now start talking" she said crossing her arms

"We met a week before I met you....."he started

*Flashback*

Walking around the club Ben saw this beautiful lady sitting at the bar in a black two piece lingerie, and he wanted her bad

"How you doing" he said whispering in her ear

"I'm good" she said turning around looking at him

"How about you come with me" he said kissing her hand

"I'm sorry but I'm not into guys" she said pulling her hand from his lips

"That's too bad" he said looking at her for a while then he walked away

Sitting at the bar she thought for a while and got up to go after him

"Hey, what's your type" she asked him turning him around by his shoulder

"Excuse me" he asked

"Your type...what's your type" she asked

"Any and every type...why" he asked

"Met me at the cafe a block from here in two hours" she smiled and walked away

"I'm here what's up, I thought you were only into chicks" he asked sitting across from her

"I am, I just wanted to know if you would help me with something, I mean your good looking for what I need" she said sipping on her drink

"And what's that" he asked

She told him everything she wants him to do

"But wouldn't she be mad" he asked

"Only if she finds out and besides it's just this one time" she said

He thought about it for a while"how does she look" he asked

She showed him a picture and he was down

"Okay" he said

"Cool, she runs at the park across from the school off Marylain on Thursdays at like 6:30am okay"

"Alright, but what do I get outta this" he asked

"A good time" she shrugged

"What's your name?" He asked

"Callie, you are?"

"Ben"

"Here's my number just in case you need anything" she handed him a card then got up and walked away.

*end of flashback*

With tears running down her face she took off her promise ring and throw it at him

"Baby wait-"

"So the both of you basically played me" she cried

"Miranda, I'm sorry" he sighed

She went into the bedroom and started packing a suitcase

"Miranda what are you doing" he asked walking into the room

"You don't love me, you don't care about me you never did...everything was a lie, I was just some quick fuck to you" she rambled on and on

"No-"

"Why...why would you agree to something so evil so nasty, I hate you I swear I do" she said picking up her suitcase and walking out

"Miranda please " he begged running in front of the front door blocking her

"Get out of my way" she said as tears rolled down her eyes

"Baby" he sighed

"MOVE!"

As he moved, he kept saying how much he loves her and how much he's sorry but everything was going in one ear and out the other as she got in the car and drives away

"DAMMIT!" He yelled and slammed the door. Getting his phone he called Callie

"What do you wh-"

"She knows!" He yelled cutting her off

"What" she said

"She knows, Miranda knows EVERYTHING" he said as tears ran down his face

"What...how" she asked panicking

"She overheard me on the phone with you, i told you to stop calling my phone!!" He yelled

"Excuse me-" But she was cut off by him hanging up on her

"What have I done" he said sitting on the couch trying to call Miranda but it keeps going to voicemail.
