Sweet Secret by Karina Castillo (Bekacastle) (classic reads .TXT) 📖

“Denzel doesn't want me to work with him anymore.” I expre"ssed. “I know you warned me about him, but I really wanted to help out on the paper.”

“Well, everything happens for a reason, Rebecca. I think…” My mother was interrupted by the doorbell. “Are you waiting for someone?” I shook my head.

My mother went to attend, but came back with Joe.

She made a face at me, crossed her arms, and waited until the boy deigned to say something.
"Sorry to bother you, Mrs. Eyre." He apologized. “I just wanted to come ask you for something.”
"What is it about, Joe?" my mother asked.

"I want to ask you to let your daughter go out with me." He blew out a breath. “I asked Rebecca to reconsider being my girlfriend.” Joe looked at me."

I covered my mouth with one hand.

What were you doing, pretty Joe?

My mother took a long breath.
“Why don't you stay to eat with us and we can discuss it like that?” My mother sat down, Joe smiled, and I went to get him a plate.

Welcome to the family, dear Joe.

(...)
After dinner was over I walked Joe out into the garden. His car was parked in front of the house.
"I'm glad your mom said yes, pretty." We lean into her car. “Seriously, I hope I don't disappoint you.”

I slowly walked over to Joe and placed a tender kiss on the corner of his mouth. He felt weak and with chemistry.

Joe pulled me against him and began to kiss me deeper, plunging us into darkness.
"It's a public area," I got excited hearing that voice, Denzel was in front of us with his stupid red cap and pursed lips.

"What do you want, idiot?" I'm kissing my girlfriend, do you want to get out?” Derricks glared at me, but I was sure he understood this whole situation.

She was back with Joe and nothing was going to change that, not even him.

"I just came to tell you that I congratulate you," he argued. “I was just going to apologize for earlier.”

“What did you do to Rebecca?” Joe insisted. “Stay away from her, Derricks. Rebecca is my girlfriend.”
“I know. He walked away.”

“I need to talk to him, give me a moment and I swear it will be the last thing.” Joe gave a shaky nod, and then I started to follow Denzel to his car.

“Go away, Rebecca.” he mumbled.

“I just came to remind you that I never want to see you again, Denzel.” he stopped. “Everything that happened between us will remain in the past, I don't want your help, nor your sexual desires.”

"Are you saying that you regret everything we did together?" It was ironic. “My God, Rebecca, I made love to you.”

I felt a tingling in my private part.

Forget it, Rebecca, now you're with Joe again.

“It was just sex.” I clarified.

"It wasn't just sex," she whispered. “I took you to my favorite place to caress every part of your skin. I made you mine, you can't just say that you regret all that.”

"I do, and do you know why? Because I hate you, Denzel. Since you appeared you have only destroyed my life. I want to be with Joe.

"You don't want to be with him." He raged, clenched his teeth and his face turned a little red.
“I'm with Joe. It will always be Joe.”

“I'm warning you, Rebecca,” he said. “If anything happens to you because of him, I'm going to kill him.” He pointed. “You understand me? I'm going to kill him if anything happens to you. Whatever. The slightest thing, I'll blame him.”
"Why the hell would you do that?" hesitate “You told me from the beginning that you didn't care about me.”
"Well, I care about you," he growled. “Joe has always had what he wanted throughout his life". But I assure you, he won't have you for long, damn it. You're driving me crazy, Rebecca.”

"That's enough, Denzel." I looked in Joe's direction. “Just walk away and let me be happy.”

Denzel was silent, he had the look of a madman, and unfortunately I wanted to kiss him.

“I'll be watching over you, Rebecca. I don't care what you say, understand?”

I nodded.
