“Go right on in Ms. Pierson your father is waiting on you” the secretary commented as Nylan approach the receptionist desk. Nylan proceeded down the hallway to her father’s extravagant office. She opened the door and noticed he was on a conference call with someone, he motioned for Nylan to sit down. Keith ended the call and sat down at his big mahogany desk.

“Nylan I called you here this morning because there are a couple of things I want to discuss with you…first of all what are your plan for the future, I know its been a rough couple of months, the crisis center was a wonderful idea but do your ambitions go any further than what you’re doing now and asking you this as your father more than your boss because I’m concerned and I do want the best for you” he replied. Nylan swallowed wondering what she should say to Keith.

“Yes” was all she could muster up enough courage to say. “I mean music is my first love and enjoy being involved in this business anyway I can”. Keith smiled happy with Nylan reply.

“I’m retiring Nylan” she was shocked by Keith’s revelation.

“Where does this leave me…I mean…” Nylan stuttered. Keith smirked again.

“I’m glad you asked me that because when I step down as CEO you will be taking my place”Nylan’s heart dropped down to her uterus, how relieved she was that her father wasn’t kicking her to the curb. By now Nylan had risen from her chair and was now hugging her father.

“Keira’s on her way in” the receptionist spoke. Nylan wasn’t listening to the lady at all, she was too excited.

“I have someone I want you to meet Nylan” Keith started as the door opened and tall caramel colored beauty with hazel eyes and beautiful wavy hair sashayed her way over to Keith. Nylan stared back at her as if she were staring in the mirror and she smiled back at her.

“Nylan this is Keira…my daughter…your sister” Keith uttered.

How could I have been so stupid to make a mistake like I did. I love Al, with all of my heart, I really don’t know what came over me when I did it. Al and I didn’t exactly end up on good terms before I left on tour a month ago. We argued almost everyday the month before I left, it seemed like she was always working on some story or on KCRW. When we weren’t arguing we were having incredible make up sex but I realized something while I was away for a month one: we both need to grow up and face the reality of our relationship and two: I love Al and nothing or no one would ever change that not even the girl I cheated on Alice with…

Dana stared at the ceiling wondering how she got to the point where she felt she needed another woman to fufill her life when Alice did that and more. Alice stirred beside her and she cuddled closer to her. She had to tell Alice what she’d done but where would that leave her and Alice. Dana was afraid to think of her life without this woman so did she keep the secret or tell the truth…
