Dirty Little Secret Chapter 39
The world slowly fades as I jump to my feet, I want to run to him and leap into his arms, but the awkward moment of silence that passes between us, warns me that’s not the action to take.“Bahbooshka?” I frown not sure I know what that word means.Michael stands to his feet and whispers in my ear. “Grandma”GRANDMA!? What the fuck, so that will mean Lorenzo is……“My grandson, which seems to me, you’ve met.” Olga smiles and stroll towards Lorenzo, embracing him.Michael place his hand on my back, “Are you okay? You look flabbergasted.”What the fuck did you expect? This is Lorenzo, the guy I love and now I discover, his the son of my enemy. Everything I thought I knew about him, fades away into the abyss. I look at Michael as I try to form words.“Want to leave now?” Michael ask. I gaze at Lorenzo and his grandma. His eyes glare at me as he runs them down to my waist where Michael’s hand is resting. Lorenzo’s jaws clenched.“Come sit with us.” I over hear Olga says.“I wish I could, bu

I open the door to Shane’s apartment, with a six pack beer, three bottles of wine and a whole bag of rocky roads Ice cream. Shane peeks up from the sofa as the door slams shut behind me.“Well, looks like both of us can do with some reflection” Shane mumbles as he gestures for me to come sit next to him. I stroll to his side and plot down on the sofa, handing him a beer.“Cheers.” I mumble half heartily.“Love sucks.” He mumbles as he gulps it down.“Agree.” I chuck it in one long breath.“Lorenzo?” He asks, I give him a nod.“His the, wait for it….. fucking grandson of Olga.” I say opening another beer.“WHAT! That will make him the son of …” I cut Shane of.“Gustav Lenkov. YIP” I say popping the p to make it sound more dramatic, I pop my eyebrows at him.“WOW, did not see that coming.” Shane says surprised as he sinks back into the sofa. He lets out a huff, and sips his beer.A few beers and a ton of wine glasses later we start to get a little giggly“I’m done with Love!” Shane pro
Dirty Little Secret Chapter 41
I don’t know how to help Clara, her situation is new to me. To be honest she never told me a lot about their relationship and I have no idea what I need to do to help her. I just want what is best, not that I think Rayon is, but for the child sake, he needs to know. After tonight, it’s in Rayon’s hands.A knock on the door makes me jump, Clara’s nervous smile greets me. “Hey”“Hi, Clara I’m so sorry.” I pull her in for a hug, she grips my jacket tightly folding it in her fists. She’s scared, so scared that’s she’s shivering.“Come in.” I pull from her embrace and open the door so she can enter.“I don’t want you to feel…” I say as she enters but she cuts my sentence short.“No, he has to know, for my sake. What happens after this, is all on him.” She smiles and strolls to the sofa.“True, but this doesn’t mean you have to marry him.” I sit down next to her gripping her hands in mine.She let out a soft chuckle, ”I’m not planning on it, I just want Ricardo to have a father, I just hope

As the doors of the elevator slides open, my heart starts to race. I spot Rayon’s computer, it is on, which means he is here, he did come into work today. I sneak out and hope to go unnoticed, but as luck will have it. I tip toe straight into Chad. “Are you okay?” Chad smiles brightly and extends his hand to help me to my feet. I gulp as I know this scene draw all the unwanted attention. “Thanks.” I grab his hand and with one swift move I’m on my feet again. “Lilly-Ann? You were my tour guide if I remember correctly.” He says unsure. “Uh, yes, that was me.” I smile politely at him. I use his muscular board shoulders as a shield to hide behind. He frowns slightly tilting his head and a playful grin tugs on the corner of his mouth. “Playing hide and seek.” He whispers grinning from ear to ear. “Just hiding from one person.” I replied, scaning the room. “Oh, well it shouldn’t be so hard then. So is it a man?” He turns to examine the room as well “Yip.” “Boyfriend.” He asks gri

With my heart in my throat, I slowly approach the table, gulping down the drool forming in my mouth, even my palms starts sweating. I clear my throat hoping to get his attention as I pull a chair out. “Good morning.” I stutter. Get a grip. He is unfazed and his eyes set on the laptop. “Lorenzo.” I mumble fiddling with my thumbs. This silence is unbearable, he’s not even acknowledging my presence. “I just want you to know, I waited for you.” His fingers stop typing and his jaw clenched, as his blazing glare shoots up. “Waited?” His tone is cold and fearful. I can’t look at him, I can’t bare that disapproving look in his eyes, my heart won’t be able to take it, so I keep my eyes set on my twitching thumbs. “Yes.” “Are you certain? The way that man had his paws all over you did not seem to me that way.” A daring smile tugs on his mouth. “ If that is what you call waiting, then baby girl you can go wait somewhere else.” He shuts his laptop, gives me a wicked look and rise. “If you’d e

The raindrops begin to pelt against my windowpane, a soothing melody to my broken heart. The gloomy weather matches my mood, although a new day has break, I can’t seem to get over yesterday. Did he really mean what he said? The tears that had been welling up inside me spilled forth freely, as I crumpled onto the bed.“Sweety?” Shane’s voice calls from the other side of my bed room door, “I bought you something to eat.” His voice is sincere, as he gently opens my door and places a tray of food on the desk. “Please, try to eat something, okay.” Shane says as he exits the room. “Will she be okay?” I hear Lesley’s voice as Shane pulls the door shut.“She’s stronger then you think.” Their voices fades into the background as I focus on the rain, my perfect symphony. If I only told him, if I only opened my damn mouth and told him that I’m not even writing about him, maybe, just maybe he would have acted differently. Although I still can’t believe he is the son of Gustav Lenkov, how can a m

Dusk brushes over the city and for the first time in a long time, I feel lonely. I had just made an agonizing decision, one that I might regret in the near future. I walked away from the man I loved, I had known for a while that our paths can not intertwine any longer. My heart feels heavy with the overwhelming love I still feel for him. I sink my head into the pillow and feel the anchor pulling me deeper into the realms of loneliness.A familiar creak of the door closing reverberates through the stillness.

You still awake?” Clara whispers as she tiptoes to my bed.“Yeah…” I flick the bed lamp on and push my body up. “I don’t think sleep is an option for me.”Clara sit next to me and looks at me worried. “You need rest, it's not good for you or the baby.”Easier said the done, I can’t get his face out of my head, that shattered look in his eyes. ”I know.” I pull my pillow to my chest and hug it tight, “But you didn’t see him.”“Ann, he is eng

My hands press hard against his strong chest as I try to breathe. He grips my wrist in his hand and bends down to my ear.“Not in public, baby girl.” His breath fans over my skin leaving goosebumps in its wake. I blink my eyes rapidly as I gulp down the last of my sanity. “Now if you would please excuse me.” Lorenzo strolls away leaving me spellbound, with my fingers prickling from our touch.Clara comes strolling by. “Hey, what’s the matter?” She furrows a brow, “Are you feeling sick?” “Huh?” I jerk my head in her direction as I lose sight of him. “Did you say something?”“Ann, what’s going on?” She looks at me with a concerned look in her eyes.“Nothing, nothing at all.” I know Clara only met him once but fuck he is not the forgettable type, how could she invite him. I check the guest list to see if his name is on it, but it’s not.“
