Help! I'm In Love With A Liar

"Hey! What do you think you are doing? You need to go out of here right now. You can't just lie down here. It's time for the landlady to come for rounds," I scoffed at him.

He paid no heed to my words. I clutched his arm and tried pulling him, but I could not even move him a single inch. I tried to tug him again, instead he yanked me towards him and I fell flat on the bed. He guffawed at me and I stared at him pretending to look displeased.

"It was not funny at all," I resented, still reposed flat on the bed.

Wang held my arm tightly and smiled at me. He came closer to me and looked intently in my eyes. I dropped my gaze and turned my head to the other direction. He started caressing my hair and planted a kiss on my neck.

I turned my head to look at him, startled.

"You look beautiful," he said pleasantly.

"You, forever with me," he said intensely.

Suddenly, we heard a knock on the door. It was the landlady on her usual rounds. My heart skipped a beat. I swiftly hid Wang in the lavatory and fastened the door from outside. My heart was pounding so rapidly, I suspected I am going to have a seizure. I opened the door to her and pretended to appear very drowsy.

"Hello maam," I said heavy-eyed.

"Hello Cecilia. I am so sorry. I did not realize you were sleeping. Actually I heard some voices, so I came to check," She said amicably.

"Umm, voices? I don't know. I did not hear anything maybe because I dozed off. I think, you should go check the first floor then," I said, trying to sound candid.

"Hmmm, you are right," She said in a pensive mode.

Her glance was glued on the washroom door and the anxiety was taxing me from within.

"Ok, Cecilia, you rest now, good night," she said and left.

I heaved a sigh of relief. She proceeded towards the first floor and this was the appropriate hour for Wang to dash out of the gate. I opened the bathroom door and Wang was laughing frantically.

"Mighty performance," he applauded.

"What is so funny?" I asked him confounded.

"Oh, the funny part is, that," he said and pointed towards something. I realized I had hung my washed lingerie on the hinges of the door. I absolutely forgot about that in the immediacy. He was giggling and I did not understand how to react in this situation. I was feeling so self-conscious.

"Stop behaving like a kid and you should leave now," I said and pushed him out. He was still giggling at me, when he stepped out of the room. The moment he advanced out of the gate, I felt an urge to stop him. But I did not do it. I was yet devastated by the pain he gave me and had not forgiven him for anything.
