Keeping It Secret (Patreon)

I know, I know. Keeping secrets in a relationship is bad, but in my defense I don't think my boyfriend would believe me even if I told him the truth. Honestly keeping this under wraps is easier for everybody because it would just raise too many questions otherwise. I mean look at him, doesn't he look happy? There's no point spoiling that happiness.

No, I didn't cheat on him. I don't have a kid hidden somewhere in the city either. Personally I don't even think what I've done is that bad, it's just... complicated and I'm not sure my boyfriend's ready for that yet.

Let me explain. We've been dating about six months now and they've been the happiest six months of my life. Tommy is a real gent, always treating me with respect and going out of his way to make me feel comfortable. That's unfortunately not something I can say about any of my ex-boyfriends. All of those relationships ended pretty messily but this isn't about my past. It's about his.

You see, Tommy's a real good guy. Anybody would want him to be their boyfriend - and some aren't so willing to let him go either. I can understand, I don't know what I'd do if we ever broke up. Probably something morally questionable, but thankfully I don't need to think about that right now. It's because of one of his ex-boyfriends that I'm in this situation though, as that pathetic loser couldn't accept that Tommy had moved on.

It's kind of funny, he was insisting that I used magic to steal Tommy from him and wouldn't listen when I told them how ridiculous that was. He threatened to warn Tommy about 'what I was' and considering how crazed he was, I knew he'd do it too. It wouldn't take much to convince Tommy that his ex had completely lost the plot but why even let it get that far?

Instead I returned home from the confrontation with a brand new puppy as a gift for my perfect boyfriend. He of course loved it and why wouldn't he? He's entirely devoted to me and I know him better than anyone. I knew precisely whether he preferred cats or dogs, plus what his favorite breed was and I knew it all because his mind was an open book to me.

Okay, there was some truth to what his ex-boyfriend was saying which is why I had to make sure he couldn't share my secret. I'm perfectly happy without Tommy knowing I'm a warlock and I'd like it to stay that way. Besides, I think his ex is actually much happier as our new puppy. He's even warming up to me despite what I did to him!

Now, I have a question for you. Do you think that keeping this all a secret from Tommy is wrong? I suggest you think very carefully about your answer though because I can't promise what I'll do if I don't like what you have to say...

Let this be a lesson to anybody who thinks they can take my perfect man away from me!
