Blue's POV

'We need to talk." Kenny said immediately after I closed the door.

I knew something was wrong the moment Jake and him walked in through that door. One, he didn't kiss me. He may be gone for thirty minutes or twelve hours, but he always kisses me when he comes back. He didn't this time and I instantly knew something was up.

Jake and Charlotte aren't great actors too. Their somewhere-to-be story was a lie. It was clear that Jake was trying to get Charlotte to leave with him so I would be left alone with Kenny.

"Everything okay ?" I asked as I sat on the counter. Kenny sat on the opposite chair next to me.

"We found your weapons at your apartment." He calmly said. "Including the Hypersonic missle and the DSR 50 ripple."

"Ohh, did you pack them ?" I asked him.

"Yeah.. where did you get them Blue ?"

"My grandfather gifted them to me when I joined the army." I lied to him. I completely forgot about the weapons, I've been distracted about my dad wanting to kill Kenny that I didn't think this through when he said he'll get my things.

"You know what I'd prefer ?" Kenny chuckled. But you could see that he didn't find this humorous at all. "Blue I'd prefer you telling me you can't tell me something instead of lying to me."

"I'm not lying-"

"The Hypersonic missle was released this year. Only ten of them exist. So tell me, your grandfather gifted it to you two years ago ?" He cut me off.

I'm going to admit, I was caught off guard. I didn't think this through. I don't even know how to respond to him. How will I explain this ? I can't believe I was this careless and irresponsible. This wouldn't have happened if I didn't let Kenny fetch my stuff.

"Kenny-"

"Save it Blue." He said as he stood up and walked to the stairs going to the bedroom. He looked disappointed, I lied to his face how can he not be ? A tiny little lie could make a person stop trusting you completely. It shatters all the trust you guys worked so hard to build.

I groaned as I laid my head on the counter. I hate lying to him and now that he knows something's going on, I'll have to make up a believable lie. It's just lies after lies.

I stood up and headed up the stairs. I got inside our room and found it empty. I could hear the shower running in the bathroom so I decided to take off my clothes and went to the bathroom. I opened the glass doors to get inside and found Kenny, water running through his mascular body as he closed his eyes. I took a second to admire his abs and light veiny forearms, he was a work of art. The body of a Greek god. His long eyelashes and dark eyebrows, wet dark hair- he was captivating. Astonishing to say the least.

"I'm sorry." I said as I got inside and wrapped my hands around his waist. He sighed and opened his eyes, removing my hands from him. Ouch, that stung.

"Would you have apologized if you got away with your lie ?" He asked me and I shaked my head.

"Blue you have to know that there's nothing I hate more in this world than lies. I won't force you to say anything. I can be patient with you for as long as you like if you aren't ready to open up about certain things." He took my hands in his as the water ran through our bodies. "But I won't tolerate you lying to me. I despise lies with passion Blue. I hate.. I hate liars with my whole being."

Such a small lie got to him, I'm imagining how he'd feel if he found out that I've been lying to him ever since we met. He would never forgive, he would hate me.
