Little White Lies Novels & Stories

He stared at it for a few seconds then looked at me. “This could be fake, Riley.” “It could be real,” I countered. He stared at me again. His eyes bore through me, as though he could see all of my lies. He’d said Riley’s name like he knew it wasn’t mine and he watched me like he waited for me to slip up. I took the ID back and stepped away hoping it would make his gaze less penetrating. It didn’t. “Are you Kalil?” “You ever danced before?”

Ethan is even more puzzled now— he isn't sure if it is appropriate, but Ethan knows he has to ask, the nagging feelings teetering defies silencing, "Excuse me for asking this, but is it because of Cameron?" Expression screws, Ryan narrows his eyelashes, "Don't say such foolish things. I've known Cameron for like only one day. I want to go there because…" no matter however Ryan chooses to put it, it is going to sound absurd, "...the building's interior somewhat resembles the orphanage I grew up in. I feel safe whenever I go there. It simply brings me comfort," which is a blatant lie. Ethan feels like there is more to the story. Ryan's explanation seemed too simplistic, too rehearsed. But he k

For a moment, I wanted to open up again, but I know that's not what I am going to do, ever again. My head was placed on her right shoulder, hiding my hurtful expressions, "You don't need to worry so much. I look after myself well, just like you asked me to." I lied feeling guilty. But I try to look after myself. I do, I really do try. Maybe that was just a justification for my lie She pulled apart from me and looked at me, like she knows, I am lying but didn't question me further about it. I felt horrible. I am lying alot these days, lying to people, to friends, to the one's I care about and to myself.

I explain as her tears dry on her sweet little pixie-like face. "I can understand that, but you lied to me. You told me you would never lie, and then you did. You told me you hadn't thought it...you lied," she says while sniffling, and my head tilts out of confusion. "I believe that's called a white lie...doesn't count," I mumble, and she begins to scowl. "It does too. I want an honest relationship," she says with so much sass her little hands find her slim hips.

“What does it mean when Mommy says it?” “A white lie.” Caprice raised another question. “What does white lie mean?” John smiled and answered, “It means not telling the truth to not hurt someone’s feelings.” He might have bought it if she had said that her feelings for Carl developed over time, but to say that it was love at first sight? Not a chance. "Ohh.” Caprice feigned understanding despite still failing to see the connection and expressed, “It’s so complicated.” John smiled and suddenly asked, “Caprice, shall we go see Mommy?"

I was about to go back upstairs to go check if mom and dad were in their room but then Hamdi stopped me with a question that I wasn't sure I was going to be able to answer. ***chapter begins*** "Why did you get married without my knowledge," Hamdi said in a rough voice, and I could hear the feeling of being hurt from his voice. I honestly didn't know how to answer his question, because I know I couldn't tell the truth about the situation, and lying to him would only break my heart, so I'm stuck between telling him a white lie or telling him something that I know is a complete lie. I stood for a while weighing my options before deciding to tell him a white lie even though I know a lie is a li

I swing open the fridge, grabbing a coke. “Yeah? When’s the last time you told a lie?” I ask Levi as I hold up a can of Coke. He nods and I toss him the can. “Yesterday. Told my mom her dress looked good when it was fucking hideous.” I crack open my soda and flop down on the couch beside Levi. I try not to smile, but a small chuckle escapes. “Yeah, well, that's a white lie. It’s different.” “How is it different?” “It’s harmless.”

“Because I played one for over eight hours straight.” “Well, this one isn't stressful, so please.” She said and he nodded. “Okay, the game is called Wishes, Truth & Lies.” She said and he nodded urging her to go on. “All you have to do is make three wishes, tell me three truths and three lies, and I will tell you the one that is true and will tell you the one that is a lie, if I am correct, you will do anything I want and if I am not correct, you will give me money.”

I cannot marry a man that I barely know, but I can have sex with him, even though I don't know him very well. It's the 21st century. "Thana, explain what you need to explain. If you will lie, you will also be the one who will have a hard time in the end because you know that it is difficult to live with a lie." Mom pours the tea and smiles. I took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. I don't want to disappoint her, I can use white lies. White lies are not that heavy either.

“You are officially dressed.. and even though you’re an undergraduate your CV is pretty good…” She doesn’t know I didn’t get the job because of these… “… I don’t understand why you didn’t get the job!” “I arrived late and lied about arriving early… so I was thrown out for being dishonest!” I told her. Her mouth just stayed open as I told her the reason I didn’t get the job. “But that’s a little white lie.. everyone tells a little white lie to save their asses!” “Right?” “Yeah.. you needed the job so bad and you can’t afford to lose your chance….”
