Lying, by Girl Clone

[claire.livejournal.com]

This is not my entry for the Lying Challenge. I'm actually attempting to write something more than a drabble for this. I may even get betas involved. *Eyes friendslist thoughtfully*

However, some of you emailed me or commented on my last entry saying that you wanted to know what happened next. So did I. Here are two possibilities...


“Frase, you cannot breathe a word of this to anyone. Not anyone.”

I nod. “Of course Ray.”

“It's... it's a guy.”

'A guy? Ray has feelings for a man? I thought he was strictly heterosexual. Experimental hair and bracelet not withstanding.' These thoughts go whirling through my head like snow flurries. Then 'Ray has feelings for a man! It could be me.'

I really cannot breathe and I'm just about to smile as Ray says “His name is Anthony, I met him at the gym. Hey Frase, are you OK?”

I manage to smile wanly. “Of course Ray, I'm fine.”

---

Ray chews nervously on a fingernail. “You. It's you. I'm sorry.”

I can't speak.

He continues “You don't hate me now, do you Frase?”

I shake my head. “On the contrary Ray,” I manage “I have feelings for you, too.”

Ray leaps out of his chair and begins pacing. “You fucker!” He leans down and stares at me. “Why didn't you tell me?”

“I...” I begin, and then I can't say any more as Ray's pushing me down to the couch and stretching out on top of me.

“I... “ I try again, but Ray just leans forward and kisses me.

Ooh, I like that we have two options. I think either scenario works and both fit the challenge, but I must admit that I'm rather partial to the second option.
