Secret

part 1- The meeting

My phone rings as I lay in bed reading one of my Nora Roberts key trilogy books. I hesitated at first as I didn't recognise the number that flashed  across my phone screen. "hello" I answered with a polite enough voice as I had no idea who it was on the other line. "Hi" a male with a sexy American accent said. "did u send me a text today.

" thank you ,"I haven't laughed like that in a long time". We talked a little and he asked if he could keep my number and I thought to myself that another friend wouldn't hurt. So I added him to my friend list as kev.
