All that Glitters...

"I can't believe this" he said, his voice cracking, "I really thought I knew you. Now it seems like it was all.... just a lie."

I looked away and kept my eyes cast downward.

His face contorted in disgust as he hissed, "This... is.... SICK!"

I'm such an idiot sometimes... Yeah, I guess a small part of me always knew that he'd eventually find out. I guess I could have told him, but there just never seemed to be a "right" time for doing that..

Exhausted, he sat down beside me and whispered, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

I rolled the question around in my head for a moment, then decided to be honest with him, "I was ashamed, all right? I knew you'd FREAK as soon as you found out, so I didn't say anything."

He contemplated this for a moment, then asked "What about the kids? Have they been.... exposed to this?"

As I slowly nodded, he buried his face in his hands.

Since I'd gone so long without getting caught, I'd started getting sloppy about covering my tracks.

So now... The door on my Gary Glitter closet had been blown wide open when the greatest hits CD came sliding out of the Jeeps CD player, in all it's glam rock glory, and into David's calloused hand.

I've decided to cool it for a bit, as David gets use to the idea of the kids and I happily singing along to "Do you wanna touch me (yeah)" as we drive up to the store. (With the windows rolled up of course)
