"Our Secret"

Chapter 30

After a while of great sex, we both lie on our backs, sweaty, and out of breath. And I can't lie, it felt great.

Page then gets up to find both of us long shirts. She puts hers on and hands one to me. After I put it on, she lays on my chest.

"So," she starts, head on my chest, arm around my stomach. "How was it?"

"It was..." I stop thinking about everything, and just about wanting to do it again. Though we just stopped. "Amazing. Really, it felt great. I've never felt like that before."

She laughs. "Well duh, it was your first. But, that's great. I'm glad I could give you that pleasure."

I smile for a moment. Then I stop.

"Hey, uh, Page?"

She looks up at me. "Yea? What's up?"

"So, I was debating on weather or not to tell you this, but..."

She gets up from my chest. "But... what...?"

I look at her and move my eyes down. "Mrs. Parker and I are still dating."

Her face drops. "What?"

"I know, I should've told you sooner rather than later. I'm sorry."

She moves her arm from my stomach, and moves her back to the headboard, saying nothing. Just silence.

I look over to her. "Will you say something?" I pleaded.

"Okay." She turns to me. "So, we just had sex, and you wanna tell me you're seeing another woman still?"

I just look at her and say nothing.

"Hm?"

"I... I guess so..." I stutter.

She laughs. "You think I care that you're cheating on her with me? Wrong. As long as your not cheating on me, I don't give a fuck."

My eyes widen slightly, then my eyebrows frown, and I smile. She then kisses me, and I let out a sigh of relief as she lays back down on my chest.

"Wait, you're not mad?"

"No, why would I be? Look... I don't care that you're still seeing Mrs. Parker. Really. And to be honest," she says as she gets up, once again. "I never liked that bitch."

I laugh. "Why is that?"

"Because she-" She looks down. "Because she had what I couldn't." She says.

"Which is?"

She looks up into my eyes. "You. She had you."

My smile fades. "Oh."

"That's why I would threaten you two. I wasn't actually gonna tell the cops or anyone. I promise! I was bluffing. I would never do that to you, Mariah. I just... I just wanted you. I've had a crush on you since, I don't know, forever. But now that this is finally happening, I couldn't be more happier. I couldn't be more grateful. And when I'm with you, nothing else in the world matters. Why don't you just dump her and be with me instead? I'm not 23, and we can actually be seen with each other. You're so important to me. And I know it's too soon but I really don't care. I love you, Mariah. I always have. And you don't have to say it back. I get it. But really, I love you. Okay?"

I couldn't be in more shock.

I just stare at her with my mouth slightly open. "Wait, so you're saying you've liked me for a while?"

"I mean, yea. What's not to like?"

"You're telling me your not playing me? You're not straight?"

She looks at me, confused. "Playing you? Why would I do that? And no... I'm not straight. I thought I made that pretty clear..." She says, as she rubs my thigh. "And, I like you. And I think maybe we could make this work."

I smile, then kiss her passionately. I break the kiss smiling, and looking into her eyes.

"I love you too, Page."

She smiles.

"And," I add "I'd like that idea."
