Flash Fiction: Just a Little White Lie!

“It was just a little white lie…” you told yourself, as you looked into the mirror, disgusted with yourself.  You didn’t mean to do it—but you broke your boyfriend’s iPhone when you decided to look through his messages.

You had suspected your boyfriend of cheating and wanted proof.  You knew it was wrong, but it was just there…nagging at you, “Have a look!  What harm can it do?”

Quickly, not wanting to upset your boyfriend, you put it down on the table where he laid it and waited for him to pick it up.

10 minutes later, your boyfriend comes in and checks his iPhone when he hears it ring….and notices the crack in the screen.

“Oh, okay.” Your boyfriend says.

You look at yourself in the mirror wondering how you could lie?

“Yes, darling, she doesn’t suspect a thing!” your boyfriend says into his iPhone……
