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

He exudes confidence and self-assurance.As he turns to see who’s approaching, I gulp hard as my heart skips a few beats. A smug smile pulls on the corner of his mouth as I freeze on the spot. I feel winded as his smoldering intense gaze examines me. “Dangerous game your playing, Sunshine.” His voice is low and dripping with desire.I clear my throat and regain my confidents, it’s only Michael.
