Chapter 12-Possible engagement? Part 2

Ana grumbles and defends herself by saying:

"I was meditating!"

Luke laughs and says:

"Ana, your nose will grow if you keep telling lies."

Ana frowns and stands up.

"I don't lie, I just omit the truth sometimes, but just now I was meditating and ended up relaxing a bit."

Luke asks:

"And what's the difference?"

"Lying is telling something that's false, omitting is hiding the truth of something that exists."

Let's face it, the fiancé story does exist, it's not a lie, she's omitting who this fiancé would really be, in her head she thinks that way she could give him free rein to date or marry whoever he wants, without it being arranged.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

Luke crosses his arms, smiles sideways, looks into Ana's eyes and says without any shame:

"Do you want to find out what it's like to kiss someone with a piercing?"

Ana rolls her eyes in surprise and chokes:

"Cough, Cough..."

Ana is in despair, Mr. Han is in the next room, not that he can hear, because the garden they're in is big, but you never know, she tries to answer, but shame won't let her, so she disguises it:

"Your father's next door, what if he hears that?"

"Oh, really, it needs to be somewhere more private."

This makes her feel even more embarrassed, and when she's embarrassed or nervous, she resorts to slapping the person on the back or arm, and slaps Luke on the arm.

"Well I have a boyfriend, have you forgotten?"

Luke feels Ana's heavy hand on his, and after that slap on the arm, he laughs and says:

....

"Oh, right, your boyfriend who's far away."

Ana adds, trying to be truthful in her omission:

"Far away, but he's in my heart"

(Wow, Ana you've gone deep now.)

"Well, I have to go, you know, it's getting dark.

Luke pretends to be touched by Ana's words, how emotional he feels that he's just seen an actress perform so well.

"Wow, there's a lot of passion in your words, take advantage and bring his photo, now I'm curious to know what this person who stole your heart is like."

Ana freezes.

(Damn, this photo thing again, I'm going to have to find a way to get a photo of someone and put an end to the doubt, but whose?)

"Of course, it's in my diary, but I left it at home, today wasn't the day for this story. Hehe"

Luke is really curious now, to find out what Ana's next "omission" will be. Ana says goodbye to Mr. Han and as she's passing through the living room she sees a fashion magazine, so she picks it up and flicks through it to see if she can find anything, Justin appears at the moment and notices Ana flicking through the magazine, Ana notices his presence, she disguises it by smiling at him, puts the magazine back where it was, says goodbye, and goes home, on the way she's thinking about what she can do to fix that "photo".
