“Secrets”
Melissa
In the cool darkness of
the semi-crowded bar, I study the glass in front of me and consider my journey,
how many steps I’ve taken in the last two years, how far I’ve come. Memories of
my old life fade like smoke in a glass. The shame that held me so tightly now
dances at the edges of my mind like the whisper of a bad dream, a flicker of
shadows that no longer make sense in my world.
Young women in shiny
slip-dresses twist and laugh on the dance floor, but instead of resentment, my
lips curl into a smile. My old self—cynical, bitter, defeated—is a memory I
have to work hard to recall. These days I could dance all night with them, but
I’d rather spend my energy on other things.
The slim glass holds a
pale amber liquid, and I can’t resist taking a sip. An involuntary wince
pinches my eyes as I put it down. Seven and seven. Refreshing citrus dragged
down by the heavy undertone of whiskey. So
gross.
Sliding my palms over my
thighs, I realize my outfit isn’t much different from the girls’ on the dance
floor. The deep red silk is fitted at my waist, and drapes loosely over my
torso. My long, dark hair is swept over one shoulder revealing a thin spaghetti
strap. I lightly touch the delicate gold chain around my neck leading to the
floating heart pendant that sits between my collarbones, and light glances off
the thick gold cuff on my wrist.
Unlike that night almost
two years ago, I’m alone. My best friend Elaine is miles away with her new
husband, most likely indulging in that blissful honeymoon period of early
marriage. Make that, most certainly
indulging. I know those two well.
No, I came by myself to
this bar in Princeton after finishing my business with a client in town. My infant
son is in Wilmington, spending the weekend with his grandmother. Studying my
hands, I admire the deep blue sapphire ring on my finger, but I have no wedding
band.
At thirty-two, I’m an
unmarried mother of a beautiful little boy, and I wouldn’t change a thing… Yet.
The tiny silver scar at my hairline reminds me of what a bad marriage looks
like, and with my successful marketing business and the gorgeous cottage at the
beach I own, I’m satisfied with my life. Calm, not desperate. I’ll take my next
steps deliberately, with certainty.
All these thoughts
preoccupy my mind when I blink up and catch him watching me from across the
square-shaped bar. Blue eyes, strikingly blue because of the way they stand out
beneath his dark brow, coupled with collar-length thick dark hair.
He’s massive, at least
six-two, and elegantly dressed with a thick stainless watch on his wrist. I can
spot his type a mile away—rich, powerful, accustomed to getting what he wants.
I can’t deny the hum his gaze sets off under my skin. I know what he wants.
Catching my lip in my
teeth to stop my grin, I know what I want, too, and it’s no coincidence I
happened to look up at that exact moment to meet his stare. Still, I’ll make
him work for it.
He starts to move, his
eyes never leaving mine. I don’t look away either. Thick cords of muscle ripple
beneath the thin black sweater he wears as he glides past the oblivious patrons
talking and laughing. Some are more animated than others, waving their arms and
putting their drinks in peril.
Yellow lights hidden in
the recesses above the bar illuminate rows of liquor bottles in all colors and
shapes. Glasses hanging upside down above also catch the flickering light. It’s
a raucous atmosphere, but this man and I are in our own secret place of longing
and desire.
As he rounds the final
corner, and I see him in full, my breath quickens. My eyes drift from his broad
shoulders to his narrow waist, grey slacks and black shoes, then back up just
as he reaches me. A close beard shadows his face, and the muscles low in my
pelvis tighten at the thought of how it feels brushing the soft skin of my
inner thighs.
