                                   His Secret 

Bria:

I sat out back thinking of what happened between Mecca and I and I wanted to cry. He said he loved me yet he went out on a date with another girl. Sure he claimed he did it for my brother but I wasn't seeing someone else. I was mad at him and mad at myself because I had let this get to far, I had let him develop feelings for me. Why did he have to fall in love with me? Why did he have to make this complicated? Why was it hurting me that we are in this position? I looked up and saw my father walk out the back door, I moved my feet for him to sit down next to me. "You ok baby girl?"

"I'm ok." I lied truth was I'm confused as hell

"You sure? You've been mopping around here all day."

I moved closer to him as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "How did you know you were in love with mom."

He smiled, it was the first time I had seen him smile with the mention of her. "I think I was in love with your mother the first day I met her. We talked all night and even after I dropped her off at home I still wanted to talk to her. No matter what I was doing I always thought of her and wanted to be around her. Bria she wasn't always like that, she had a good heart once. Love has a way of changing people."

"Love doesn't exist."

"Oh it does, cause if it didn't exist your brother and you wouldn't be here. You can't run from love Bria, when the feeling gets you, it gets you." He stopped and smiled down at me. " Are you in love Brianna?"

"I don't know dad, I'm so confused and it's complicated."

"Than uncomplicated it, if you want than make it work out." He kissed the top of my head.

Pulling up to Mecca's I sat in the car ringing out my hands thinking of what I wanted to say. After talking to my dad I had come to the conclusion that I was in love with Mecca and it scared the shit out of me. Getting out of the car I walked  up to his door and knocked after a while I knocked again and froze as the door was swung opened and a woman wearing only one of his shirts stood before me.

"Can I help you?" She crossed her arms over her chest.

"I was looking for my brother Josh?" I lied but I didn't want to cause a seen.

"Your Josh's sister?" She looked surprised. "He and my husband are not here."

"Your Mecca's wife?"

"Yes, who else would I be?"

"Sorry I just didn't know her was married." I walked away from the door back to my car.

"I'll tell him you stopped by." She yelled after me.

"Please do." I yelled back getting into the car, I hit the steering wheel as I started the engine. "Bastard." I yelled as I sped down the long driveway. He was a liar and I let him use me. "Your so stupid Brianna." I told myself turning on to the main road.

"Why can't I find a good guy." I yelled as the guy in the car next to me looked over. I speed off as soon as the light turned green. "Because your worthless Brianna, and nobody wants you." My mother's words came out my mouth. "I'm ruined."

Mecca:

We pulled up to my house and the front door opened I pulsed as Veronica walked out in just my shirt. The last time I had physically seen her was the on the last day of our honey moon. I never had feelings for Veronica and our marriage was strictly a business deal. She needed cash and I needed a wife to take over my families business. Over the years I stared to despise her and she started emptying out my pockets. "What the  fuck are you doing here?"
