You're My Little Secret

by Chenell Parker

  After talking to Brooklyn, I decided to stop at home and get me some clothes. I didn’t want to sleep home alone so I decided to crash at David’s house. I really wanted to stay the night at the hospital with Kennedi, but the choice was hers. If she wanted me to come back, I would be there in a heartbeat.

  “Damn it smells good in here,” David said when we entered his house.

  We walked to the stove and my mouth watered when I saw what Brooklyn had cooked. She hooked up some seafood pasta with fried fish and garlic bread. David grabbed a plate and dug in while I went to look for Brook. I found her asleep on the sofa in the dining room with the TV remote dangling from her small hand. I took the remote and turned the TV off right before I planted a kiss on her forehead. I thought the kiss would wake her up, but it seemed like she didn’t even feel it. I started kissing her all over her face until I got to her lips. When she opened her eyes and saw that it was me, a small smile crept upon her face. She is so pretty and I don’t even think she knows it. She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me in for a deeper kiss. Brooklyn wasn’t afraid to take control and that was one of the things that had me falling hard for her. When she stuck her tongue in my mouth, I opened wide and returned the gesture. Just that fast things started to get heated. I don’t know what it was about the kiss, but I was ready for more. David’s spare bedroom was across the hall, so I picked her up and headed right for it. She had her arms and legs wrapped around my body, but we never broke our kiss. As soon as I walked into the hall I saw David coming our way out of the corner of my eye.

  “Oh shit, I’m leaving. I’ll be back later,” he said before walking away. I didn’t reply, but I guess he got the picture. When I got into the room, I laid down on the bed with Brooklyn on top of me. She stopped the kiss long enough to remove the shirt that I had on. It was weird how we made eye contact, but no words were spoken. Brooklyn didn’t stop with my shirt. She took off everything I had on until I was completely naked. She started to take off her own clothes, but I stopped her before she did. I laid her down on the bed and undressed her from top to bottom, just like she did me. Her body looked even better outside of her clothes and that was hard to do. Her skin is flawless and I couldn’t stop touching it.

  “Are you sure about this Brook?” I had asked before we went any further. When she grabbed the back of my neck and kissed me, that was all the answer I needed. After kissing for what seemed like forever, I finally broke away. I kissed down her body until I came up to her virgin opening. Kennedi was the first and only women to ever feel my mouth on her love box, but something about Brooklyn made me want to explore. Without thinking too much about it, I dove in head first and didn’t look back. Brooklyn arched her back and grabbed the back of my head while I went to work between her legs. When I looked up and saw her watching me that only made me work harder. Twenty minutes later my face was covered in her juices as her legs shook uncontrollably. When I saw that she couldn’t take anymore, I stopped my tongue assault and crawled back up to her face. She surprised me when she grabbed my face in a passionate kiss and tasted her juices that lingered on my lips. Kennedi would die if I ever kissed her right after going down on her, but Brooklyn was a welcomed surprise. She reached between my legs and stroked my erection, positioning me right at her opening.

  “You know this is going to hurt right?” I asked as I searched her face for any signs of doubt.

  “I know, just take your time,” she replied.

  I lifted myself up on one arm and slowly put the head of my stiffness into her opening. I tried to enter her slowly, but she was just too tight. She had her eyes shut tight with an unreadable expression on her face.

  “Okay, I’m about to put it all the way in,” I told her. She nodded her head, but her eyes stayed closed.

  “Take a deep breath,” I told her right before I pushed. As soon as she breathed in, I pushed all the way in.

  “Ouch, oh shit this hurts like hell,” Brook complained. “It feels like you’re ripping me apart.”

  “You want me to stop?” I asked praying that she said no. She had her eyes shut tight while her fingernails dug into my arm. Her face showed the pain that she was in and I didn’t want to make it worse.

  “No, keep going,” she said through clenched teeth. I did just as she instructed and kept going. I didn’t know how it felt to her, but I felt like I could die right now because I must have been in heaven. This was the first time for both of us. Brook was the first virgin that I’d ever been with and it felt amazing. Never in my life have I felt anything so warm and tight. After a few strokes, the pain seemed to be going away and Brook seemed to be enjoying it just like me. The frown that was on her face had been replaced with a look of ecstasy. She was new at it, but that didn’t stop her from moving right along with me.

  “Brook wait, don’t move,” I begged because the sensation was too much for me at the time. She was tight as a closed fist and I didn’t want to explode too soon.

  “I don’t want to just lay here, show me how to get on top,” she replied, exciting the hell out of me. This was going to be an interesting night and I was more than ready for whatever.

  The next morning I woke up and Brooklyn was no longer in the bed with me. I thought she dipped out on me until I saw her duffel bag still sitting on the floor. She called Candace to cover for her so that she could spend the night with me. I looked at the clock and saw that it was only a little after nine. We had just gone to bed around three. A smile crept on my face when I thought about everything Brooklyn and I had done the night before. She was right when she told me that she could do whatever I wanted as long as I showed her first. She tried a few different positions until she got the hang of them all. Just like me, Brooklyn liked to try new things in the bedroom. I jumped out of the bed and put on my shorts and shirt that were thrown on the floor. I looked at my cell to see if Kennedi called, but she never did. I had a few missed calls from my mama, but that was it.

  I made my way to the kitchen and saw David sitting at the island while Brooklyn was standing by the stove. “Damn boy, you must have really put it down. You got Brooklyn in here cooking breakfast and shit,” David joked.

  “Shut up David. I’ll put everything up and you can eat them stale ass cereal that’s on top of your refrigerator,” Brooklyn replied.

  “No, my fault, don’t do me like that sis,” he begged. I walked up to her and put my arms around her waist.

  “Good morning,” I said while kissing her neck.

  “Good morning,” she replied. She smelled sweet so I figured she must have taken a shower. She had a fitted shirt with the matching pants that had the word “PINK” written on it.

  “What you cooking?” I asked looking over her shoulder.

  “I’m making seafood omelets with hash browns and toast,” she replied making my stomach growl. I was still having a hard time believing that she cooked as good as she did.

  “That nigga had enough food in here for you to make all of that?” David was a true bachelor. He kept cereal and milk, but that was the most food he had in his house.

  “No, I sent David to the store,” Brook replied. I looked at him in shock as he shrugged and smiled. He really looked at Brook as his sister-in-law and it showed.

  “I’m going to take a shower,” I said walking out of the kitchen. I wasn’t surprised when David followed right behind me.

  “Man you got you a winner. You better not let her get away, I’m telling you,” David whispered.

  “Shut your ass up. She got you running to the store and shit like you an errand boy,” I said laughing.

  “You can say what the hell you want. The only time I get a hot meal is if Brook is here, so hell yeah, I went to the store,” he laughed.

  I got in the shower after talking to my brother for a few minutes. I swear I couldn’t stop thinking about Brooklyn even if I wanted to. I didn’t know how I was going to handle this situation with her. I was really falling for her so letting her go wasn
’t going to be easy. Then there was Kennedi, who I was planning to marry and spend the rest of my life with. Brooklyn had already made it clear that she wouldn’t deal with me anymore once I was married. That was crazy, especially since she was dealing with me now. She claimed that I was still technically single because I wasn’t married yet. I wish I could have married Kennedi and took Brooklyn on my honeymoon. Her first time having sex was better than the two years of sex with my fiancé.

  After showering, I dried off and wrapped a towel around my waist. I walked down the hall to the room, but the voices in the kitchen stopped me in my tracks. I thought I was tripping until I made my way down the hall and saw my mama sitting at the island with a plate of food in front of her.

  “What are you doing here so early ma?” I said when I walked in.

  “Well, good morning to you too Dominic,” she replied sarcastically.

  “I’m sorry, good morning.”

  “I called your phone a few times, but I didn’t get an answer. I just wanted to check on you. I’m happy I did come over, this food is the truth. Ms. Brooklyn is pretty and she can cook,” she said while taking another bite of her food.

  “Your plate is in the microwave,” Brooklyn said while washing the dishes.

  “This food is good as hell,” David said with a full mouth.

  “Go put on some clothes and come eat your breakfast,” my mama said.

  I excused myself and went to put on my clothes. Once I was dressed, I ate my breakfast that was just as good as everyone said it was. David, Brooklyn, and my mama were all seated in the living room watching TV when I walked in.

  “Well, I’m about to be going. Thanks for the breakfast Brooklyn. You can cook for me anytime. Let me talk to you outside Dominic,” my mama said looking at me.

  I followed her on the porch to see what she had to say.

  “So what happened at the hospital yesterday after I left?” I asked.

  “Nothing, Kennedi still had that funky ass attitude. I was about to beat the breaks off of her mammy so I left not too long after y’all.”

  “I don’t know what the hell her problem is. She didn’t even try to call me or nothing,” I said frustratedly.

  “Did you try to call her?” My mama asked me. I put my head down without responding. I was so far up Brooklyn’s ass last night that Kennedi didn’t even cross my mind.

  “Yeah, I didn’t think so,” she said. “But let me ask you a question Dominic.”

  “What’s up?” I said looking into her eyes.

  “Exactly who is Brooklyn? And please don’t give me that same weak ass lie that your brother gave me because there is no way in hell that’s she’s over here for him.”

  “Why you say that?” I was curious to know why she didn’t think that Brooklyn was here for David.

  “First of all she doesn’t look like the usual hoes that he brings home. Then it’s almost ten in the morning, so I know he would have kicked her out by now if she was his company. And let’s not forget about how you feel comfortable enough to walk around her with only a towel wrapped around your waist. Plus, I saw the way you looked at her,” she ranted. This lady was too much. She picked up on all of that and she wasn’t even here that long. She always said she knew us better than anybody else and she wasn’t lying.

  “We’re just friends,” I said trying to convince her and myself too.

  “You’re playing a dangerous game boy. You’re engaged to be married, so you shouldn’t have any friends,” she said making air quotations with her fingers.

  “It’s not even like that ma, me and Brooklyn are just friends.”

  “I don’t know why y’all think I’m stupid. You really like her so this didn’t just start up. Don’t ask me how I know, I just do. But you better be careful. Don’t drive one car before you trade in the other. No matter how many you have you can only drive one at a time,” she said as she walked to her car.

  I stood on the porch until I saw her car disappear. She really gave me something to think about. I love Kennedi, but I really did like Brooklyn. Kennedi and I were free to do whatever we wanted to do whenever we felt like doing it. With Brook, things were harder because we had to lie and sneak around. There were so many reasons why being with Brook was wrong, but at the moment none of them were good enough for me to leave her alone.

  CHAPTER 15

  CANDACE

  Co-Co and I were going crazy trying to get things ready for our upcoming fantasy party. This was our third year doing it and they were always live. Bryce, Jaden, and Caleb were here helping us move all of the furniture from the living room to the spare bedroom that no one used. Brook sometimes occupied the other one so we couldn’t put anything in there.

  “Aye, I hope y’all don’t think my lil sister is staying here while y’all got some nigga slanging his dick around,” Jaden said to me and Co-Co.

  “Brook is sleeping at Tiana’s tonight,” I lied.

  “Good, I would hate to have to act a fool in here,” Bryce said.

  Tiana was one of Brooklyn’s friends from elementary school. She and Brooklyn went to UNO together and they were still tight. Bryce really approved of their friendship because she was Taylor’s cousin. Other than that he probably would have had something to say about her too. Little did he know, both Tiana and Brook would be here and Taylor was coming too. Everybody already knew what to tell Bryce and the rest of her brothers. Nothing really went on except for men stripping and sex talk from the fantasy lady that we hired. If anybody was interested in buying anything, she was very discreet with her products and she did everything in private. I was trying to rush them out so Brook could start on the food and Tiana could help us decorate. They had everything moved and they were just sitting around talking.

  “Alright, unless you niggas are planning on stripping it’s time for y’all to go,” Co-Co said when he walked into the room. My brother got on my nerves sometimes, but it was times like these that I loved him the most. He didn’t mind offending anyone, especially if they were family.

  “You got me fucked up,” Jaden said standing to his feet. Bryce and Caleb stood too as they prepared to leave. Once we said our goodbyes I called Brook and Tiana and told them to be on their way. We had about three hours to get everything popping before people started arriving.

  About two hours later, the decorations were up and Brook was almost finished with the food. We ordered the chicken and sandwiches so the only thing she had to do was a rice dish and spinach dip. My Aunt Pam did a few appetizers so we were all set to go.

  “Alright ladies, I’m going to get dressed before anybody gets here,” Tiana said as she walked away. Co-Co and I were already dressed so that only left Brook to get ready. She’s gotten better with her wardrobe so we didn’t need to pick anything out for her. Co-Co helped her with matching up her clothes and she seemed to be following his directions well. She even impressed him a few times and that was hard to do.

  “Okay, I’m done,” Brook announced coming into the living room. Before I had a chance to say anything, her phone started ringing and she dashed out of the room before answering.

  “You notice every time her phone rings to that ringtone she runs out of here like the buildings on fire,” I said looking at my brother. Brook had a Drake song as a generic ringtone for anybody who calls her. Lately when her phone rings to “My Little Secret,” by Xscape, she leaves out of the room before answering.

  “That’s probably her boy toy calling her. Let her be, it’s about time she acts like a damn teenager,” Co-Co said.

  When the doorbell rang about an hour later, my brother and I started welcoming our guests. When the dancers arrived, they were shown to the den to change and prepare for the show. Right now, the fantasy lady had the floor. She also had Brook’s undivided attention. She had a dildo in her hand demonstrating the proper way to give oral sex. She talked about different positions and even handed out pamphlets that had pictures of how to do it right. My little cousin was so interested in what she was s
aying she didn’t even notice when the dancers came out. The fantasy lady retired to the kitchen where she started taking orders from anyone who wanted to buy anything. Co-Co and I had hired three dancers. When they got on the floor, I wasn’t interested in anything but them.

  CHAPTER 16

  BROOKLYN

  “Brook slow down, you’re pressing on the gas too hard,” Dominic yelled. I begged him to teach me how to drive and he was getting on my nerves.

  “You’re making me nervous with all this yelling. And this truck is too big for me. I should have started off in something smaller,” I complained. He was trying to teach me how to drive in his Range Rover and I could barely put my foot on the gas.

  “This truck is not big. Besides, you’re not just going to be driving small cars all the time. You have to get used to driving everything.”

  I was doing good so far. This was my third week and I’d already been on the bridge and perfected my parking skills. I even drove David’s charger, but Dominic told me that I wouldn’t be doing that again. I didn’t realize that the car was that fast and I ended up doing sixty in a residential area.

  “Where are you sleeping tonight?” Dominic asked me. I’d been back and forth between my cousins’ house and my own. I hadn’t slept at David’s again since I almost got busted a few weeks ago. I forgot to tell Candace to cover for me and Bryce went to her house one morning looking for me. When he found out I wasn’t there or at my mama’s house he was about to go crazy. Thankfully, Candace got me on the phone before he did and told me what was up. Dominic got me to Tiana’s house just in time because Bryce was knocking on her door five minutes later. I told him that I was sorry for not calling and everything worked out perfectly. Now I knew how to be more careful and have a plan in place. Lately, I’d been sneaking Dominic into Candace’s house when she and Co-Co turned in for the night. He couldn’t spend the night so I had to sneak him out too. He stayed all night a few times, but I don’t know what he told Kennedi in order to get away. I kept the door locked, but my cousins never really bothered me anyway. Usually, they had company themselves, so they weren’t worried about me.
