A Secret Worth Keeping
by LaKisha
Johnson
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shelby
is a career woman turned housewife who enjoys the friendships that have been
built with her 5 best friends; Camille, Lynesha, Raylin, Kerri and Chloe. They
are all career women with different businesses, husbands and even children but
something is missing and they can’t seem to find it at home, in a store or even
in a book. So, they search for this missing piece in the beds, arms, cars and
even offices of other men who don’t mind paying for what Dem Dam Divas can
offer. They enjoy the thrill of sneaking, creeping and even vacationing on
someone else’s dime but they soon find out that all good things come to an end.
What happens when it becomes too much? From secretly wanting someone who
doesn’t want you, loving only to not be loved back and being caught up in a
dream that you’re about to be awaken from; will it be worth it in the end? Will
they regret their actions or stand by them? Will they finally question whether
this secret is really worth keeping?

Excerpt:
Chloe
“That was an
amazing dinner guys. Anyone care to join me in the Jacuzzi?” I asked.
“No, I am
beat and I’m going to turn in so that I can enjoy sightseeing and shopping on
tomorrow,” Shelby said.
“I’m with
Shelby;” said Ray and Lyn.
“I’ll pass
too,” said Cam.
“Me three,”
said Kerri.
“Ok, I won’t
be long. I’ll be up soon,” I said. I changed into my swimming suit, grabbed a
glass of wine and my IPod. “This water feels great,” I said whispering to
myself. Why I was whispering beats me,
maybe it’s the wine. Ah hell, may as well get another glass. I got up to refill
my glass when I heard a knock on the door that scared me. “Shit, who could that be?” I said walking to
the door.
“Chef Todd?”
I said surprisingly.
“I’m sorry to
drop by unannounced but I forgot to give you ladies the desert I prepared. I
uh, I” he said.
I realized I
didn’t have my robe on when I followed his eyes to my barely covered breast.
“Come in, I
was just enjoying the peace and quiet since my girls left me up. I’m Chloe by the way, would you like a glass
of wine?”
“No thank
you. I really didn’t mean to disturb you; I thought you ladies would still be
up.” He said.
“We usually
are but they were tired from the driving and we have a long day planned
tomorrow; are you sure I can’t interest you in anything to drink?” I asked
while grabbing the wine and walking back out to the Jacuzzi. I knew he was
watching my ass but I really didn’t mind because my husband rarely did.
“No but I
must say you are wearing the hell out of that swimming suit.” He said.
“This old
thing!” I said laughing.
