"I would die for a taste of what Angel had someone to live for Unafraid to say I love you," Joanne and Mimi yelled.

They have no idea "Unafraid to say I love you." They have no idea. It was so easy to say those meaningful words to past boyfriends who I just told myself I loved and who when I really thought about I didn't love at all. Past boyfriends who would leave me heartbroken, or worse with a death sentence hanging over my head. Adrian knew he had AIDS, and I should have guessed it, his beeper for "work" going off on a timed schedule every day. Once he left me and I got sick, and found out I had AIDS I said I would never tell someone I love them. Angel changed it, Angel changed my mind, but it was different with her……..

Angel lay in Collins' arms.

Only 48 hours after meeting and they were already in love.

He looked down at her naked sleeping form.

This is love I guess.

He was shy by nature, and that shyness was not making it easy to tell her what he wanted to tell her.

Angel stirred a little.

Okay Tom just tell her now.

Angel looked up at him and smiled "Morning Honey"

"Morning" He leaned down and kissed her.

I Love you, that's all you gotta say.

She cuddled as close as she could to him.

Say it now Tom now.

"You were great last night"

"Thanks"

She rested her head on his bare chest.

Why is this so hard? I've said it so many times before, all you have to is say...

"I love you" the last part he said aloud, with a hint of worry and hesitation in his voice.

"What?" Angel looked up at him

"Ummmm..." he blushed

"I love you too"

"Really?"

"Yeah" She leaned up and kissed him on the lips lightly, lingering there for a second.

Collins pulled her back down; it didn't take much time before the two bodies became one, and moans, giggles and playful growls to fill the room.

Newfound lovers expressing their love for one and other.

Suddenly...

"God I love you Angel" A low voice rumbled heavy with lust and love. No worry, no hesitation. Just love, and not the love that either had ever had before, this love was pure and undying, faithful and unconditional, and above all this love was true love.
