A Secret Worth
Keeping
by LaKisha Johnson
BLURB:
Shelby is a career woman turned
housewife who enjoys the friendships that have been built with her 5 best
friends; Camille, Lynesha, Raylin, Kerri and Chloe. They are all career women
with different businesses, husbands and even children but something is missing
and they can’t seem to find it at home, in a store or even in a book. So, they
search for this missing piece in the beds, arms, cars and even offices of other
men who don’t mind paying for what Dem Dam Divas can offer. They enjoy the
thrill of sneaking, creeping and even vacationing on someone else’s dime but
they soon find out that all good things come to an end. What happens when it
becomes too much? From secretly wanting someone who doesn’t want you, loving
only to not be loved back and being caught up in a dream that you’re about to
be awaken from; will it be worth it in the end? Will they regret their actions
or stand by them? Will they finally question whether this secret is really
worth keeping?

Excerpt:
Girls, this has been an amazing
trip. I’m kind of sad that it’s ending
but I am ready to get home to see my babies.
“Well, good for you; I can’t
say the same,” said Kerri.
“Listen ladies, I know that
these trips are supposed to be a release to renew our minds but they do no good
if you go back to home and accept the same mess you left. If you all are not
happy then make some changes. Life is too short to keep living in hell. You all
are beautiful, educated and capable of taking care of yourselves so why
continue to take less from your husband than what your husband is supposed to
do? Please don’t get me wrong, I am in no way saying that you all should head
to divorce court, however, I am saying stop lying down and accepting
everything. Stop accepting less than what your husband should be giving. Why
should you have to find part time love in the hands of someone else? Why should
you find pleasure in the bed of someone else when your husband should be
fulfilling your every fantasy and you should be filling his?”
“Shelby, I hear you but you
have all that at home, we don’t” Chloe said with tears streaming down her face.
“Yea, you have a husband whose
eyes light up when you enter the room, one who notices your new hairdo, one who
doesn’t mind shopping with you, one who holds you when you cry, sit with you
when you’re sick, stay up with you when the baby is sick; you have all that,”
Kerri added.
“Yes, I do but this is because
I wouldn’t accept anything less. Understand, we have our ups and downs but we
work through them. We are not perfect and I’d be lying if I said anything
differently but he knows my faults and accepts them and I know his and accept
them.” I said.
