"Can I help you with something?", he asked with a no sincere smile.
" Yes actually. I would like to talk to you about something", I said. I knew I was stalling. I had no idea about what to say hence the word something. I hope I'm not that transparent or this is going to fail before it ever takes off.
"What is it Mara?", he asked with a show of concern but with no actual compassion.
" I'm sorry, for being mean", I told him.
"It's Ok Mara. I always cared about you. I wish we didn't stand on opposite sides when we are fighting for the same side", he said with a gleam in his eyes.
" You have trained me and helped me every time but I always disrespected you", I said biting my tongue. It's tougher than I thought I wish I didn't have to lie through my teeth.
