Our Little Secret {The Secret Series- Book 1}

Chapter 3: Secrets Revealed

*Ellington's POV*

Ross and I laughed softly as we pulled away from the kiss.

"Wow.." He whispered.

"Wow is right." I heard Riker say.

Ross and I quickly moved far away from each other.

"Oh! Hey! How long have you been standing there?" I asked as I casually propped my hand on the couch that was behind me.

"Hmm.. Let's see." He began. "Well, first I called tall for supper, and you didn't come. So we waited a few minutes, then Rocky called yall. You still didn't come. So, I took matters into my own hands. I walked in, and I couldn't believe what I saw." Riker said as he tapped his foot against the floor a bit.

"So...." I began.

"You saw...." Ross continued.

"You saw us..?" I asked.

"Yeah. I honestly never thought I would have seen something like this happen." Riker said.

"I... Uhh... Heheh.. Is that a bad thing or?" Ross said nervously.

"Yeah, uhh.. I guess you don't want us together... You know.. Because we're gay and all..." I said and Riker shook his head.

He slowly walked over to the couch and sat down, then patted one of the seats beside him. I hesitantly sat by him. Ross just continued to stand where he was.

"Come on, Ross. Sit wherever you want. I won't hurt you or anything." Riker said softly.

Ross hesitantly sat very close next to me. I slowly and sneakily grabbed his hand and intertwined our fingers.

"Listen." Riker began. "I am not mad at you, and I'm not disappointed or anything. In fact, I'm happy for you two. But, you know, Ross, our parents will freak out." He said.

I sighed as Ellington and I looked at each other. Ross leaned his forehead against my own.

"But, don't worry. I won't tell." Riker continued. "Trust me.. I've been holding so many secrets that so many people have told me for so long. I'm like... The secret keeper."

I glanced around. "Oh?" Was all I could say.

"Yeah. I'm going to tell you a secret." Riker said.

Ross shifted positions, now his head was resting on my shoulder.

"I have a boyfriend too." Riker confessed.

"Wait... You do?" I asked.

"I do." He began. "Sadly, I barely even see him anymore. I met him when we were on tour. So we talk on the phone a lot." He said with a small sigh.

"So... Who is it?" Ross asked.
