Believe Me I'm Lying

I dropped my glass as I heard someone walk on the bus dragging me from my daydream.
“Are you okay?” I heard a familiar voice say and turned round “Tally, what’s up you looked worried” he carried on.
I stared back at him, at the same person that seconds ago I had been daydreaming about one of the times we’d had sex.
“I’ll get it” he smiled bending down to clean up the mess.
“Sorry if I made you jump” he said smiling at me and I nodded.
“What’s with the silent treatment?” he asked and I shook my head.
“Little Miss Talkative has suddenly gone all shy” he smiled as his eyes twinkled, “Are you sure you’re okay?” he asked and I nodded again.
He went to hug me and moved away from him.
“Tally what have I done?” he asked and I took a deep breath trying to regain my confidence.
“Nothing, I’m fine” I said trying to smile.
“You don’t fool me Mrs, something’s up” he said and I shook my head.
“No really I’m fine” I reassured.
“Come on I know you a lot better than that. There’s no need to be shy around me, tell me what’s up?” he said his eyes pleading for the truth.
“Caleb will you just leave it!” I shouted as I turned and ran away from him shutting myself in the back lounge.
I heard him open the door and I wiped my eyes, “Tally have I upset you?” he asked looking worried.
I shook my head “I was just thinking about something that’s all you scared me for a minute” I lied and he put his arm round me.
“Sorry” he smiled “You want me to get Jonathan?” he asked and I shook my head.
“Are you okay?” I heard a familiar voice say and turned round “Tally, what’s up you looked worried” he carried on.
