All Chapters of Dirty Little Secret: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Maya Angelou once said. ‘Live is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away.’ It was something that didn’t make sense to me until last night. Our little magical moment which lead to another magical moment, that left me completely breathless and tired.Golden rays of sunlight stream into Lorenzo’s bedroom, casting a warm glow in his room. The air felt crisp and refreshing as it carries a delicate scent of blooming flowers and the bittersweet smell of coffee.I stretch out my limbs as my eyes flutter open and a pleasant sensation of contentment and energy course through my body. The memories from our night linger in my mind, filling me with a sense of satisfaction. I start to giggle like a schoolgirl as I pull the covers over my head, too embarrassed with the dirty thoughts that are occupying my mind. Those hands, man he knows how to put them to good use, and that sweet lips and tongue. I feel the arousal burning in my core as I squeeze my

As the night falls over the beautiful city, bathing it with the moon’s light. It is not quiet or calm, people are exiting the movies, and cues forming in front of nightclubs. The evening rush has just started as the streets fill with laughter and joy. I was them once, but my view changed and now I understand the importance of friendship and family.Tomorrow will be a big day, a heartbreaking day and I just need tonight to recharge. I pull in at Lorenzo’s mansion, I know he’ll make everything better.“Ma’am” Geon grabs my bag as I get out of the car, “I’ll take it.” He grins and strolls to the front door, holding it open for me.“Do you know if Lorenzo is back yet? I didn’t hear from him the whole day.” I’m kind of worried, he normally texts me and today nothing not even a heart emoji.“Sorry, no I haven’t heard from Steven either,” Geon says and gestures to me to enter. I let out a sigh and walk straight to the kitchen where Miss William is busy cleaning.“Hey, is Lorenzo home yet?” I

Happiness blooms in our souls like a rose in the middle of a meadow. It’s the warmth of a genuine smile, the embrace of laughter’s gentle caress. It dances in our hearts and paints our lives with so much gratitude and joy. Today, I’m overcome with happiness.In our little corner café, Clara and I shared some quality time together even with Geon following me everywhere. Lorenzo thinks my life is still in danger although Gustav is in the wind and he can’t seem to find him or his mother.“So.” Clara places her cup on the table and she gives me that, hungry for a sweet romantic story look, her eyes start to twinkle, and the corner of her mouth curves into a crooked smile. “Are the two of you officially a couple? Like, will you be going with him to the met gala and so forth?” Clara pops her eyebrows at me.I sip my coffee and shrug my shoulders. “I don’t know, I like the way we are.”“Seriously?” She pouts and rolls her eyes at me. “So you will be fine with it if he went with some other wo

A hushed stillness settles upon the city as the day drew closer to its end. The fading light gently caressed the horizon, casting a melancholic glow upon the world below. I’m tired, stressed, and afraid of what comes next. With Shane leaving tomorrow and my sister in her own new world with Ricardo, I feel alone. I gaze at the sunset through Shane’s empty apartment window, as all the unanswered questions run through my mind.“A penny for your thoughts,” Shane says as he breaks my daydream and hands me a cup of coffee.I let out a soft chuckle, “Waste of your money.” I roll my eyes and take the cup. “Thanks.”“If you’re worried about Lorenzo, don’t be, he adores you and won’t mind starting a family with you.” Shane smiles at me as he adds. “Just send me pics when you start to get fat, for my album." He winks.I let out a sarcastic huff, ”Yeah, sure” Shane throws his arm around my shoulders and pull me to him.“I going to miss you.” He whispers. “But just in case Lorenzo sends you packin

The sun’s golden rays spill through the curtains of our new apartment in London. Today is the day I have been avoiding, my first doctor’s appointment. With a mixture of nervousness and excitement bubbling inside of me, I take a deep breath and swing my legs out of bed. Shane said he would go with me, but I want to do this alone. He has his own new life to rebuild here and I don’t want him to fuss over me.I gaze at my reflection in the full-length mirror in my room. I’m starting to show, just a little, but the bump is there. A sharp pain in my chest has me clasping my T-shirt as memories of Lorenzo surface. It’s been months since I ran off, sometimes I wonder if he even looked for me. The only people who know where I went, are my sister and Regina, she even got me a part-time job at a small magazine here. I finger-comb my new short locks, which I’m still getting used to.Both Shane and I got a new hairstyle, he bleached his hair and got a nice deep faded cut and for yours truly, Shane
