Hidden Talents
Chapter 2: Secrets
The next day, Fred acted a little awkwardly around Wesley, and he didn't understand why she didn't want the others to know. He decided he was going to talk to her.
Hyperion, late afternoon. Fred was reading on the couch and Wesley was in his office. Angel and Cordy were upstairs with Connor and Gunn was out. Wesley decided he was going to talk to her. He headed out into the lobby and saw her on the couch. She heard him coming and looked up.
"Oh, Wesley, hi" Fred said closing her book and nervously sitting up. Wesley walked over and sat down next to her.
"I was wondering if I could talk to her," Wesley said looking at Fred.
"Yeah, sure, okay" Fred said almost afraid.
"Well, I was wondering, why don't you want the others to know about your talents?" Wesley asked.
"I…there not really talents and – talents, you only saw me play the piano, right?" Fred said confused.
"Well, I…actually saw you dancing the night before, also" Wesley confessed.
"What! You saw me dancing too! Why didn't…you should have…" Fred started to yell as she stood up. Wesley also stood.
"I didn't think you were going to get this upset," Wesley said, as he watched Fred pace.
"I, they were secrets, it was my way of leaving this world for just a few minutes and forget all my problems. It was like I was in my own little world, all by myself. Now that you know about them, it's not a secret, I don't have my own little world anymore" Fred said sitting down again.
"Fred, I'm sorry, I had no idea," Wesley said.
"Just forget about it, and can we keep it a secret, so it's our little world?" Fred asked shyly.
"Yes, what ever you want" Wesley said.
"Good, thank you so much!" Fred said standing up and hugging him and then she turned and ran up the stairs.
No one else ever saw Fred dance or heard her play, but Wesley. Sometimes, she would as him to play the piano with her. Fred didn't even tell Gunn her talents. Her secrets were forever, hidden talents.
