DENIAL

Short story

Who invented parties??? 

They are so overrated!

Where is Bae when I need my frayed nerves soothed?

There he is!

 I wonder what’s up with him.He hasn’t said a word to me in two days.

I guess he’s in one of his regular dark moods.

Wait! I see him! I see the trace of a smile flirting around his lips.

I haven’t seen any of those smiles in ages.

…Suddenly his head swoops down to claim a kiss from a bony looking but pretty female.

My brain is frozen in time…

I retreat hurriedly , my heart is beating faster and harder than an African Shakara drum.

My heart is at war with my feet…

Should I return or keep running???

I am sobbing uncontrollably,embarrassed ,tears slide from my eyes in torrents.

I whisper to my self…

It can’t be! It’s not him!

I have the instincts of a bloodhound!

As I wrestle to gain composure, 

he swaggers towards me with hands in his pockets and says in a nonchalant voice…

I am so sorry you saw that,

I have been trying to tell you for months!!!

Wow, what an ending! I really like how you spoke volumes and wrote a picture of a thousand words in less. I could feel things in it in no time and again the ending was sad but powerful. tyfs
