I was enjoying my lunch and a beer with James and Barry. I needed it after the last few days. I was worried about Becca and the way she is acting. She said she needs a few days, and I will give her those. I just hope she doesn’t want to end things. I would understand if she did, though.
“How are things at home?” James asked.
“Confusing, to be honest,” I said, “Lauren is being nice. She wants to spend time with me,” I added.
“I know things haven’t been easy for you recently, so is that not a good thing?” Barry asked.
“I don’t know,” I said, “I am waiting for her to turn again,” I added.
“Maybe she has realised what she has been doing,” James said.
“Maybe, but can we talk about something else, please?” I

Our little secret (Friends to lovers) Chapter Thirty One - I think I am in trouble!
RebeccaI was waiting for Jake to pick me up. He should be on his way over. He didn’t tell me where we were going, but only we will be away for most of the day. Why he had to choose this time, I don’t know. It was only seven a.m. God knows what excuse he has used to tell Lauren, especially if he said we would be away most of the day.I was feeling anxious as I waited for him. I know we would get back to our conversation we sort of had last night. I wish he would just leave it. Some things are better off left unsaid. I just wanted to enjoy today and forget about everything else.My phone went, a text coming through. He said he would text me when he was outside, rather than coming up. I made sure it was Jake before grabbing my bag and headed out. Jake was standing against his car, waiting for me.“Good morning, gorgeous,” He said brightly.
Our little secret (Friends to lovers) Chapter Thirty Two - I need a plan...
Jake Becca and I were still at the same spot. We hadn’t really moved much. We went a short walk and then came back. We had been here for three hours and not saw one single person. It was perfection.I was resting against the tree, and Becca was laying down with her head resting on my lap. I reached down, pressing a soft kiss to her lips. I feel her lips grow into a smile when I do. I miss her lips on mine when I don’t see her. There was something about them that felt right. I pulled away after a moment.“What are your plans for the rest of the week?” She asked.“Um, I am going away for the weekend,” I said.I can’t remember if I already told her or not.“With Lauren?” She asked, and I nodded.I couldn’t read her face when I told her that. It was blank. Becca ga
Our little secret (Friends to lovers) Chapter Thirty Three - The right thing to do...
Rebecca I was exhausted, mentally exhausted. I barely slept last night because I had too much on my mind. My day with Jake yesterday was incredible, but it also made me realise something. I was falling for him, hard, and that was not the plan! That was never meant to happen. And knowing he is going away with her for this entire weekend coming was pissing me off. I couldn’t get the thought of those two out of my head. And the idea of it hurt like hell. I have no right getting mad because they were going away together. Jake was her boyfriend, not mine, and he will never be mine. If he wanted to leave her, he would have, a long time ago, if things were that bad.I knew what I had to do. I knew what was best for everyone, best for my heart. I had to end things before I fall any harder for him. I have no right doing what I am doing, getting in the way of those two. All I am to Jake was someone to talk to, a friend who he
Our little secret (Friends to lovers) Chapter Thirty Four - I know what I need to do
Jake I stood there, staring at the phone. What the hell just happened? Everything was great yesterday, and now this? What has changed in less than twenty-four hours that have passed? I tried calling her back the moment she hung up the phone. I tried again and again, and she hit the reject button and then finally turned her phone off. I was so confused right now.I opened a text to her. At least when Becca turns it back on, she will see it.Becca, I am so confused right now. What has happened since yesterday? We had a good day, didn’t we? Will you please call me back, baby girl? I don’t want it to end like this. You didn’t even give me a chance to talk. Don’t do this, Becca, I beg you, Xx.She can’t just say something like that and not give me time to respond. That isn’t fair. Then again, none of this fair, especially not on Becc
Our little secret (Friends to lovers) Chapter Thirty Five - Tomorrow is a new day...
(Hey, I know you are probably wondering what happened when Jake went home, that will be the next chapter. I just wanna say hello, because I don't think I have yet. Thanks for reading my book 😊)Rebecca I was still in bed. Even when Jake showed up at my door, I didn’t move. I didn’t want him to hear me. Pathetic, I know, but I wasn’t ready to see him. I grabbed my phone, switching it on. The moment I did, the text from Jake came through, along with the missed calls and voicemail. I checked the text first and then listened to the voicemail. He sounds sad in it. He was probably confused and wondering what the hell happened. Maybe I should have given him time to talk before I hung up, but I can’t do anything about that now.It was tempting to text him back, but I didn’t. Instead, I grabbed my phone and called Paula. I was hoping she was free. It rang a couple of times before she answ
Our little secret (Friends to lovers) Chapter Thirty Six - Watch your back...
Jake I had been sitting in the car in my driveway for the last twenty minutes. I was nervous about going on. I know this is the right thigh to do, but that doesn’t make it any easier. I recheck my phone to see if Becca has been in touch, still nothing. I sighed, running my fingers through my hair. I hope she hasn’t given up on me completely. I think that will hurt even more than what I need to go and do now.I took a few deep breaths and got out of the car, and headed inside. The moment I stepped in the front door.“Jake, where the fuck have you been?” Lauren snapped.“We need to talk, Lauren,” I said.“Can it not wait? We have a lot to do,” She said.“No, we need to talk right now. It is important,” I said, “Can you please sit down?” I added.Laure

(I know this maybe sounds like the end, but just wanted to let you know, it isn't the end at all. There is still at least ten chapters to go 😊)Becca I got woken from my sleep with my front door get knocked loudly. I had a feeling who it was. I grabbed my phone and saw I had three missed calls from Jake and a text too. I knew it was him at the door. I opened the text to see what it said.Baby girl, I need you to answer your phone. I beg you. I need to talk to you. It is important. Please, Becca, call me back X I didn’t text back because I knew he was currently at my door. I hear Paula opening the door. I quietly made my way out of my room, just standing outside.“Jake, what are you doing here? Rebecca isn’t ready to see you,” She said.“Please, Paula, I need to see her,” He begged.
Our little secret (Friends to lovers) Chapter Thirty Eight - This feels right...
Jake Becca and I were laying on our sides, facing each other. I smiled, reaching in and pushed the hair away from her face.“God, you really are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, Becca,” I breathed out.“Oh, nonsense,” She said, her cheeks turning bright red.She tried to hide her face from me. I chuckled, not letting her do that.“It is the truth,” I said, kissing her.Becca whimpered into my lips and moved in closer to me. We pulled apart.“Becca, I need to tell you something about Lauren,” I sighed.“What is going on? You look worried?” She asked.“She didn’t take me breaking up with her well, but it turns out that she already knew about us,” I said, “And she said she was going to rui

Our little secret (Friends to lovers) Epilogue - Three years later...
*** Three years later *** Rebecca I got woken up with someone bouncing on the bed, a sweet giggle filling the room. “Mummy, wake up,” Everly shouts. I couldn’t believe that she was two already. I don’t know where the time has gone. “Mummy is sleeping,” I laugh. “Everly, I told you not to bother your mummy,” I hear Jake chuckle. I turn around to face Everly, and she stops jumping and comes to lay down next to me. I checked the time. It was close to nine a.m. Everly usually wakes up about six a.m., so I am assuming this morning she decided it was her daddy she was wakening up, rather than me. “It is alright,” I said, smiling up at Jake. He comes over, laying at the other side of Everly. I loved our time as a family in the morning. All snuggled up in mine and Jake’
Our little secret (Friends to lovers) Chapter Fifty Six - Ready for it all...
Jake I was standing, waiting for Becca. I had my two best men next to me, and my mum was sitting in the front row crying, along with Becca’s mum. I could see my father rolling his eyes and trying not to laugh. I wouldn’t expect anything else from either of them. I was nervous, but too much, probably because we were already married. Though my heart was still pounding and my palms still sweating. I hear the music begin, turning my attention to where my gorgeous wife would be soon enough. The bridesmaids came down first, soon joining my best men and me. And then there she was her dad next to her. She looked absolutely stunning in her wedding dress. It was enough to bring a tear to my eye. “Wow!” I breathe out. My heart started working overtime. Becca smiled widely at me as she and her dad walked down the aisle. She was soon in front of me. She kissed her dad’s cheek, hugging h
Our little secret (Friends to lovers) Chapter Fifty Five - Night before the wedding...
RebeccaIt was finally here, well nearly, tomorrow was our wedding. I couldn’t believe it had come around so quickly. I was excited for us to get married again, but this time in front of everyone we loved. We were spending the night apart. It would be strange being away from him. It isn’t something that happens often. We usually spend every night next to each other, but we wanted to do it right. Not only are we spending the night apart, but we haven’t had sex in a week, either, something we both agreed to.I had Paula and Sam staying in my hotel room with me tonight. We had ordered pizza and champagne, having a girlie night.“Are you excited for tomorrow?” Paula gushed.“Yes, I can’t wait to marry him again,” I said brightly.“What are the plans for after? Babies?” Sam asked.&ldquo
Our little secret (Friends to lovers) Chapter Fifty Four - New Home...
Jake It has been a crazy couple of months, in the best way possible. Our wedding planning was coming along great. We only had less than two months until our wedding. We found our house too! It was a beautiful three-bedroom house with a secure front garden and a massive back door. It was perfect for us and the ideal place to raise a family when the time comes.We were finally getting moved in because we had all the paperwork signed. The house was officially ours. We have both taken a week of work to get things moved and start on decorating.I was currently at the hardware store getting a few things that we still needed while Becca started the painting. Our friends were coming by to help too, so hopefully, it won’t take too long with us all working together.“Jake?” I hear behind me.It was a voice that I haven’t heard in a while and one I

RebeccaJake and I were spending the day looking at some wedding venues. We had our wedding date, now all we needed was a venue, and then we can work from there. We have a busy few days ahead. Today was wedding venues, tomorrow was house viewings, and then my girls were taking me away on Saturday night to celebrate my marriage. I had no clue what they had planned. They wouldn’t tell me. I know I could trust them, though. They would not do to me what Jake’s friends did to him.“Do you think we will find somewhere today?” I ask as we drive.“I hope so. We see four different places. Surely one will be what we want,” Jake laughs.“Hopefully! And then we can start planning everything else,” I said excitedly.I couldn’t wait to plan our wedding. Yes, I loved how we got married, but it will be good to do it this time properl
Our little secret (Friends to lovers) Chapter Fifty Two - Sharing the news
Jake I was even more nervous now at meeting our parents. It was nerve-racking enough without a damn shaved eyebrow on top of that too. I swear to God, I am going to kill my friends. They had sent me some photos of last night, but I refuse to look at him, not until after this lunch.“You ready for this, my love?” Becca asks, taking a deep breath.“As ready as I can be,” I sigh, slipping my arm around her.We headed into the restaurant, looking around to see if our parents had arrived yet. They were all here. We booked it under my name and told both sets of parents what to say when they arrived.“They seem to be getting along,” I said.They were talking and laughing with each other, all having a drink together.“It would seem that way,” Becca smiled.We

Rebecca I got woken from my sleep with Jake staggering in the front door. He was singing and laughing to himself. I checked the time. It was six a.m. well. He must have had a good night.“Wifey, where you at,” He called out, laughing.I giggled, getting out of bed and going to him.“I am right here, love,” I smile.“Becca!” He says, grinning widely.Jake staggered his way to me, nearly falling, but I managed to grab him.“Did you have a good night?” I laugh.“Yes, but I missed you,” He pouted.He went to reach for a kiss, but I turned away from him.“No chance, you smell of whisky and cigars,” I chuckle, shaking my head.“But I want a kiss,” He groans.
Our little secret (Friends to lovers) Chapter Fifty - A lucky man!!
Jake It has been a week since Becca and I got married in secret, and we still hadn’t told anyone. We were enjoying our own little bubble, but tomorrow that is going to change. We are getting our parents together to tell them. I have no clue how this is going to go, they will probably be mad, but honestly, that doesn’t matter. Becca and I were married, and nothing was going to change that. There will be a good chance that her father may want to kill me when he finds out. I will take everything he gives me.Tonight though, I was heading out with the guys to play some pool and have a couple of beers. Becca was at work until late anyway, so it gave me a way to pass my night. It is what I needed before tomorrow because that could all end in disaster.I headed into the snooker hall where we had arranged to meet. I found them at one of the tables, setting up, a round of drinks already sitting.

Maybe about another five chapters to go, and that will be it)RebeccaI slipped my dress off, hanging it up. I had bought a sexy white wedding night lingerie set when I was out. I wanted to drive my new husband, crazy. My husband! Wow! I was officially a married woman, and I can’t be happier about it. I pulled my hair down from my up-do, letting it flow over my shoulders in natural waves. I took my red lipstick from my bag and redone my lips. I fluffed my hair, smirking to myself before heading back through.Jake was sitting on the bed, anxiously waiting for me. He looked up when he hears my heels against the floor.“Oh fuck,” He groans, licking his lips.I put my sexiest smile on and made my way to him. I put an extra sway to
