“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.
