Secret

Gabe

It wasn’t jealousy that had me ready to break down, it was the feeling of betrayal. He wasn’t a baby, he’d been on this earth for years. If his nanny hadn’t brought him here, would I have ever known? Would Odis have kept me at arm’s length to keep him a secret from me?

The child wasn’t an issue. I didn’t have a problem with him. It’s the fact that I didn’t know about the said child. I never would have known about him if not for this chance meeting. I still wasn’t sure how I felt about him.

I was mad but not about him. I wasn’t mad that there was a history I didn’t know about. I wasn’t mad that the history I thought I knew wasn’t that. I wasn’t mad that there was a shit load of time that was unaccounted for. I wasn’t mad that she kept him a secret from me.
