Dirty Secret

Chapter 5 ( but no regrets )

( sorry for any typos )

As we were getting to the line he said "Oh damn do you want the beers, I could always grab another pack" I looked like I was in aww under my mask but I kept my composure and said "No it's fine keep it I don't need it that bad" knowing that I was gonna regret that later but right now I have no regrets.

We drove to the cafe in different cars but we still made it and when we entered the smell of fresh coffee and muffins hit my nose, the walls were a dark gray and the counter was a wood color it seemed gloomy but peaceful. We sat down and Star said "What are you gonna get?" I replied with "I don't know all of it looks so good I can't decide" truth be told the minute I walked in the cafe I was so hungry I could have ate about anything. After we started deciding 5 minutes later a waitress came up to us and asked what we wanted? Star said "A chocolate chip muffin with a black coffee" I chuckled and kept thinking how he was the still the same since high school and college then the waitress turned to me and asked me what I wanted "I'll have the blueberry muffin toasted with extra butter and a vanilla tea" the waitress said that will be out in 10 minutes and then I realized that I would have to take my mask off eventually.

Then when our food and drinks came out 10 minutes later I took my mask off and Star gasped lightly and his eyes grew wider just a bit. He then popped the question on me "Where did those marks come from and why is your lip busted?" In a concerned tone I replied with "You know how clumsy I am I knocked my face into an open cupboard and then I bit my lip on the way down on the floor" I replied with a forced laugh but he wasn't buying it and asked "Why are you lying?" I replied with "What do you mean?" He then said "You turn your eyes to the left when you lie so why are you lying?" I sighed when I realized I dug myself into a rat whole and I probably won't be able to get myself out of again. I debated between telling him the truth or just pushing my lie even more.

So I decided to lie "I'm telling you the truth dumbass" I laugh thinking that I could actually get away with it but he doesn't buy it and asks yet again "Where did those marks come from and why is your lip busted?" and we go back and forth and back and forth until I caved in and said stupidly "Fine I'll tell you but you have to promise not to say anything" he said "Yeah I promise" -"No you have to promise me that your not gonna do anything or say anything after I tell you"-"Yeah okay I promise I won't say or do anything" I could tell he was sincere so I told him everything starting from the beginning all the way up to now and I could tell by the look on his face and the tears swelling up in his eyes that he was scared not just of what I was saying but by how calmly I could say it but he was also

Scared for me as well.
