Vows of Deception: Something old, new, borrowed, and BLUE... Read Online Free

better a way. A clearer path for her to take to get to where she wants to be. In his face she agrees, when he isn’t looking she is applying for better. So far no bites have even tickled her resume. She prayed that she wasn’t being black-balled by the very people she thought were on the up and up. Amongst some of Lamont’s most influential clients is the owner of one the top psychotherapy offices in the state but alas she has yet to get a call back.
    Oftentimes she just gives up thinking maybe this is all there is to life. Being a wife of a top executive at a financial firm because technically that’s all she is. Maybe that’s all she will ever be if she never becomes a mother. That could be another reason why she is so desperate to have a baby. By now her goals were to have about two kids, the job she wanted, and maybe even a puppy. Danielle giggled to herself at her wayward thoughts. Who was she fooling? Lamont simply adored her and she should be happy with that. Some women don’t even have that much going on in their lives and here she was complaining.
    “Knock, knock…”
    “Come in. Hey.” Danielle spoke to one of the therapist’s that works in their department. He was the only person of color that held that title so far.
    “Hey sweetie. How are you?” Beejay spoke giving her a side hug.
    “I’m doing pretty well. Another day, another dollar.”
    “I know that’s right.”
    “What’s going on with you? How was your weekend?”
    “Not as good as your time off I’m sure but it was good. We missed you around here.”
    “I wish I could say the same. I enjoyed my time off.”
    “I bet you did. Y’all didn’t come back with any babies did you?”
    “Nah, none of that. Anyway, what brings you by?” Danielle changed the subject in a hurry in order to keep her mood high.
    “Besides to see my bucket of sunshine? I need a favor.”
    “Figures.” She rolled her eyes in mock disappointment. “Seriously, what’s going on?”
    “I have this patient that needs a softer approach type of treatment. She will be admitted in about an hour.”
    “Why are you asking me? Just curious.”
    “Well…”
    “Quit beating around the bush.”
    “She is already treated through the outpatient program but she’s had a setback of sorts.”
    “What type of setback?”
    “It would probably be best if you assessed her yourself. I brought her chart down with me if you wanted to take a peak.”
    “That’s fine I will take a look at it. How bad is it?”
    “I was making some progress with her but now… I don’t know what has happened honestly.”
    “It won’t be until tomorrow that I will be allowed to see her but I will see what I can do.”
    “Thanks honey bun. Do you want to do lunch? Are we doing our usual for lunch?”
    “Of course.”
    “Alright I’ll save you a seat young lady.”
    “You better. Don’t work too hard.”
    “I’ll try not to.” Beejay blew her a kiss before exiting. He was one of her well kept secrets. Beejay was a colleague who was a bit older than she was therefore seasoned in the business. No matter how cool he was, she still never brought him up to her husband. They were good friends but mainly in the workplace only. Beejay understood that Lamont didn’t trust many people and knew for a fact he wouldn’t trust a male as his wife’s friend.
    Sadly everyone who was acquainted with Beejay personally knew Danielle or any other female was nowhere near his type. He preferred the male persuasion but he wasn’t the flamboyant type. One who is all out, flaunting his sexuality around so many judgmental people would be quick to judge. If one male comes in complaining he had been touched inappropriately, it would be a wrap for an openly gay worker. The first finger pointing would start in his direction.
    Danielle had been on vacation for their anniversary and just as other promises he made to her about spending more time together he magically had to rush back to work in the middle. The
