Dangerous Love

Chapter 9

‘I’m' waiting on an answer, Alexis.” Michael stared at me with daggers in his eyes.

“ Michael. Just please listen. I didn’t take my bag with me, but I was with my client.” I lied again nervously.

“You know, I really thought that we had that type of a relationship where we could be honest.” Michael winced.

“ Michael for heaven sakes, I’m being honest with you and I always have been. I think you’re just…” I paused as he interrupted.

“Ok, so you insist on lying to me. You forget I know this little routine. The same excuses you gave to Larenz months back.” He stared even harder at me.

“Mi- Michael… I…” I sighed as tears fell.  

Michael placed his finger over my lips  “Shhhh…before you lie to me again, I really want you to think hard about what it is you want to tell me.” Michael expressed.

  It was a long streak of silence before I even spoke. I felt like shit. I was so afraid he would go crazy on me. I thought all sorts of things and finally I spoke softly. “ Well… I told you about his visit to the shop and well…” I sighed and looked at him. “ He called while you were in the shower. He told me he wanted closure and I….” I paused as he spoke.

“ You felt the need to lie to me. Do you value anything we have?Or do I mean what Larenz meant to you?” He asked me coldly.

“ Are you really going to bring up the fact that I cheated on him with you?” I asked angrily.

“ Isn’t that what you’re doing?” He asked coldly.

“Are you seriously going to sit there and just insult me this way? Michael I met him so things can end finally once and for all. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have lied, but I’m only trying to do the right thing.” I exclaimed.

“Ok. I get that you feel .Hell I don’t even know what you feel, but if this was suppose to be for closure. Why in the hell didn’t you at least say something to me? See that’s the part I don’t get. You intentionally kept the truth from me.” Michael said.

“ It wasn’t meant to be that way. I just knew you would be angry especially with him coming to the shop. Baby all I want any of us to do is to move on without any issues or anger. You knowing what I was up to would only cause you to speculate all night.” I expressed.

“I disagree, Alexis. The secrecy is what makes me speculate. The fact that you felt you had to lie to me tells me something entirely different from the way you say you feel.” Michael exclaimed.

“Ok. Genius exactly what am I feeling, since you know me so very well. I’m sitting here being as honest as I can with you. Yes! I lied about my whereabouts tonight, but I did so for us. Michael, I love you and you should know that my heart is weak for you.” I stressed to him moving a little closer to him

“Ok.” Michael shook his head. “Where did you meet him?” He looked at me

“ Michael the place we talked at is irrelevant. He knows that I want nothing to do with him. I swear, Michael he knows I never want to see him ever again.” I exclaimed thinking about what I let him do to me.

“ It’s relevant to me. I want to know. Where did you meet him at?” Michael asked again.

 I sighed heavily because I knew this would be ugly. " Michael it didn’t mean anything. It was just to get closure.” I sighed.

“ Maybe I should give this Nigga a call. You won’t tell me and I’m sure his ass would love to tell me the happenings about tonight...” Michael groaned.
