STACH Short Story Contest #27

IF YOU HAD LIED ME, THAT HAD BEEN A SHORT LIE.

Roxana frequented a library where she met a nice boy who liked to talk with him. She observed that she has a friend who visits her too, a chubby girl and good looking. She detailed a lot of trust with him. It devoured the curiosity to know who he was, and one day he could not stand the intrigue and asked ... "You have something with the chubby?" The question weighing, because he expected another answer ... he said "Yes, some time ago I had something with her "and began to tell him with luxury and details all the intrigue of the adventure relationship she had, her life, and everything else she had lived ... It was sincere, she did not hide anything from him, she did not lie ... but Roxana would have preferred that he had given him a short lie to a complete truth ... she felt that being completely honest did him more harm than being a liar passenger. I would have simply said "No" and I would not have believed him, but I would have done him less harm. Sometimes you feel you prefer to cover the truth with a vague lie.
