In the meanwhile, the relationship between Danny and Tricia goes on and they have go on dates more often and are officially known as an item in school. However, there is another side to the story. *hmm* Here’s the deal, Brian and Tricia came to terms with their attraction to one another and decided to do something about it. Even thought she is supposedly attached, Tricia secretly dates Brian. It is a hush-hush affair and even Niki is unaware. But everytime they go out, they have to make sure no one sees them… it ain’t easy.
Tricia
I looked around me and made sure no one familiar was in sight. If anyone catches us, I am dead meat. I grabbed Brian’s hand and lead him into the park. "Hurry!" I pestered him.
"Okay Trish, take it easy." Brian said in an attempt to calm me down. I turned to him and smiled. Pecking him ever-so-lightly on the cheek, I grasped his hand even tighter.
"Brian, you’re such a great person! If only I had known you earlier…" I commented with a hint of regret.
"Well, everything’s just going fine, isn’t it? You and me, sneaking into the park for a *chuckles* rendezvous…"
I laughed. The first time we went out on a date was really hard on me. I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and all I could think about was how Danny was going to react to all these should he find out. But after a few more times, it seemed like a habit to me already and I managed to loosen up a little. Being with Brian was great. He brought out the best in me and I couldn’t imagine being without him.
All of you must be wondering why I keep Danny in the dark. I don’t know, but I feel a sense of responsibility towards him and I wouldn’t want to do anything to hurt him and I like him too. He was a sweet and doting boyfriend, someone I wouldn’t wanna trade away.
We made our way to the centre of the park. Making ourselves comfortable on the park bench, I had my head on his lap and was looking at the stars in the sky. It was a beautiful moonlit night and all you could hear were the crickets and your own breathing.
Brian placed his hands on my stomach. He looked into my eyes and I could feel my insides turning to jelly. Even after so long, he still takes my breath away. "Tricia, I’m sorry we have to be so secretive about the whole thing… I don’t want to lose Danny… he’s my best friend but I can’t let you go either. You mean too much to me." There were tears in his eyes and it was obvious he felt guilty.
I didn’t know what to say to him. How he felt was how I felt and I guess it was the kind of situation where words need not be spoken. We just sat there and enjoyed the serenity of the park, each warm in one another’s embrace.
