Dirty Secrets

I'd look good on you

I'll keep you
My dirty little secret

   Betty had promised not to tell, not after Mira had convinced her that kissing Mr. Lodge was an act highly influenced by alcohol. Once Betty understood that, she decided to keep it a secret from Veronica. Still, there was one other person who knew of what Mira had done, but she had no idea how to prevent him from speaking if he wanted to. Although she couldn't think of a single reason as to why he would want to confess what he'd done with her to his daughter, Mira still had to make sure. 

   "Why do you want to come over again?" Veronica asked while playing with Archie's hair.

   "To work on the anthropology project," Mira said with a forced smile. God, she found it hard just to look Veronica in the eyes as she spoke. All she could think about was the way Mr. Lodge's boner was pressed in between her legs that night, which would have been fine if it weren't for the fact she was talking to his daughter. 

   "But Betty's your partner," Veronica said. 

   "I know, but you know how Betty can be with schoolwork, girl turns into a psycho," Mira said. Veronica nodded in agreement but didn't seem fully convinced. "Besides, you're obviously way smarter than Betty."

   "Really?" Veronica piped up with a smile.

   "Of course," Mira lied. 

   "Okay fine, come by my house after school. I need to uhm help Archie with something first, so I might run a little late, but my dad will be home to let you in."

   "I really need help," Archie said seductively. 

   "I know Archiekins, but we have to wait. School comes first," Veronica said, tapping him on the nose with her finger.

   "Perfect," Mira smiled. She didn't have a lot of time with Mr. Lodge, but she had enough.

   Mira felt awkward, to say the least when she rang Veronica's doorbell. It wasn't every day she confronted her friends' father's about making out with them, but she just hoped he would be on the same page as her about keeping what they did a secret. Truthfully speaking, it kind of excited her to keep something as dirty as what they'd done from everyone. It was like a dirty little secret only they'd be able to think about in private. 

   When the door finally opened, Mira wasn't surprised by the shocked look on Mr. Lodge's face. Of course he would have been shocked to find the girl he had just made out with at a club standing on his doorstep. What Mira was surprised by was how god damn fine he looked standing in front of her in his tight button-up shirt that stretched to allow his muscles to bulge.
