Liar

Benson's POV

"Hey Benson". I raise my head from my laptop and noticed Smith standing by the door.

"What's up "

"Can I come in ".he asked 

"Sure".

He smiled at me and walk in.

"Seems you are dressed to go out ". I asked after I noticed he was dressed.

"Yeah, I'm going for a fire burn night at the beach, you wanna come ?" He asked 

"No". I said those words and went back to what I was doing.

"Benson".

I raise my head and stared at him.

"I was thinking we should go out together, you know, just you and me since we haven't spent much time together ". I stared at him and noticed the sincerity in his voice.

I took in a deep breath and closed my laptop.

"Fine, give me some minutes" 

"Thank you ".he smiled at me and left my room.

I hissed in relief and stood up from the couch.

I took a quick shower and put on a casual wear before leaving my room.

I step into the sitting room and saw Smith seated on the couch waiting for me.

"Where are we going ?" I asked 

"There is a fire burn camp happening at the beach, we should go there ".

I nod my head and walk out of the apartment with him.

"We should take the car". Smith murmured those words and open the car, 

I climbed on the passenger seat while Smith sat on the driver's seat and drove off.

"So you are leaving the day after tomorrow". Smith asked 

"Yeah "

"That's bad, I thought you would spend the new year celebration with us ".he murmured 

"I wish I could, but work has been pilling up for me ". I responded.

“I understand”.he muttered out those words and kept on driving.

In a few minutes we stopped close to a beach.

"We can't go in with the car ".he announced those words and got out of the car, I step out from the car and walked into the beach with him.

"This is fun". Smith exclaims happily.

I stare around and noticed so much crowd surrounding the beach with fire camp all over the place.

"Let's go ".

I followed Smith and went to the drink stand.

"What do you want "? Smith asked 

"Anything not too strong "

"Alright "

"Please get us two glasses of cocktail". Smith asked the bartender.

The drink was given to us, and we sat on the ground.

"I'll go get us some roasted chicken ".he stood up from the ground and walk away.

I was about to take a sip of my drink when I noticed Jesse talking to someone.

"Shit". I whisper when I realized she was also here.

I never knew I would see her again before Christmas.

I wanted to remove my gaze from her, but I couldn't.

I stared at her and noticed she was talking to a guy.

After talking to the guy, I wanted to remove my gaze from her when I noticed her place her hand on her forehead like she was in pain. I stared around and noticed no one was paying attention to her, everyone was busy in whatever they were doing.

She moved from the crowd with shaking legs, then I noticed something was definitely wrong with her.

I stood up from the ground and followed her, but I lost her in the crowd.

I started panicking and became restless.

I search for her in the crowd but couldn't find her.

Maybe she has gone home, I thought to myself.

I hissed in relief and was about going back to Smith when I noticed a figure sitting on a huge Stone in the corner of the beach murmuring something to herself.

I moved closer and realized the figure was Jesse.

She noticed me and gave me a very childish smile.

"Are you okay?" I asked, 

She stared at me and Chuckled Loudly.

I hissed and took a better look at her, and realized she was drunk.

"What did you drink ". I asked 

She did not say a word rather she smiled at me and look away.

I hissed softly and sat beside her.

"You should go home ". I murmured those words to her.

"Will you go home with me ?" She asked in a drunken voice.

I stared at her and look away.

"Come, let me take you home". I stood up and brought forth my hand to her.

She stared at me before staring at my hand, 

"Your hands still look the same after all these years".she whispered those words and took hold of my hands and stared at it.

I stared at her confused, but I knew she was drunk.

"I've been waiting for you for so long“.she murmured those words in a drunken state.

I shake my head and wondered what she might have taken to made her this way.

"You promised you won't leave me, but you did ".she murmured those words while staring at me in half tears.

I stared at her and wondered who she might be mistaking me for, but then I remembered how she told me about a friend of hers who was very close to her.

"We should go home". I muttered out those words and tried to take her hands,, but she slipped out of my reach.

"I'm not going with you ".she murmured.

"Why ?" I asked, confused.

"Because you are a liar, you lied to me ".she murmured those words hurt.

I stared at her and wondered what she was talking about.

I hissed softly and sat beside her, I stared at her and noticed she was indeed drunk.

"So now that you are back what should I do"she murmured in pain.

"You disappeared from my life and think you can appear just like that, who do you think you are". She asked in anger and angrily hits my chest.

I stared at her confused,, but I knew she was dunk, and she was talking because of the effect of the drink.

"You are drunk, Jesse, let me take you home". I demanded and tried to take her hands,, but she quickly shifts away from me.

"Stay away from me, you liar and heartbreaker" she expressed those words like she was so sure of it.
