Your Secrets Safe With Me-Dexter Morgan

Secrets

I looked at the clock. 5:45. I wasn't nervous about Dexter coming over I just wanted him here for us to talk this fake relationship. I was wearing black faded denim shorts with a black and white flannel shirt that was rolled up to my elbows.
Ding Dong. I went towards the door and opened seeing Dexter in a gray full sleeves shirt and black pants. He was holding roses. I looked at him with confusion on my face but he gave me a peck and said " Hey babe, you alright?"
"Dex are you-" I got interrupted by him picking me up in his shoulder and closing the door.
"Dexter are you okay?" I asked as he put me down.
"Doakes was following me and I thought I might as well play my part as the boyfriend."
"He was following you!" I said angrily.
"It's fine. Look you wanted to talk so let's talk, forget about him." Dexter said sitting in the couch. I went over to the kitchen and took two beers out and opened them.
I sat across Dexter and handed him the open beer.
"Any questions?" I asked.
"Why are you so intimidated by Doakes?" Dexter asked. I might as well be truthful.
"He reminds me of my ex." I said taking a gulp of beer.
"Who was your ex?"
"No one important."
"Is he why you came to Miami?"
"Partly." I could feel my eyes stinging with tears at the thought of my life before.
"Grace are you hiding your past for a reason?" Dexter asked putting his hand in mine.
"Yes Dexter. My past isn't important, it'll just ruin things."
"Wanna tell me?"
"I can't." I said looking down. Dexter nodded then said.
"Let's go out for dinner."
"You do know we're no actually together." I said as he dragged me up.
"We might as well act like it. It'll probably make the both of us happy for a little while." He said smiling.
"So this how you ask for sex, Morgan." I said teasing him and he just smiled back at me.
We walked to Dexters minivan. He probably bought it for Rita's kids which I found adorable.
I looked across the street and saw Doakes car with him inside. Son of a bitch. I sat in the car and Dexter sat in the drivers seat.
"Let's go have fun" I said leaning back in my seat.
"We will." Dexter said putting his hand in mine and I gave a squeeze to his hand.

Dexter
I put my hand on hers and she squeezed back. She cared about me but I don't think she loved me. It's not like I loved her, she was one of my best friends. But I knew she was hiding something. Something big. Something that could bring her career and life down. I was going to find out what and make sure it stays away from her.
She didn't deserve it.
I started driving and looked at my rear view mirror. Doakes was still following me. Fuck off.
I know he was going to try and brain wash Grace into thinking I was a psycho, but she trusted me so much that would end up being a problem for him as I could tell Grace gets protective an wasn't scared to go violent.
I really didn't want to lose her to Doakes.
