Introduction ... Angel Never Takes No for an Answer

by

Mark Walter Meredith

Short story about what happens after Thomas Collins and Angel walk off down that alley together and what I imagine his apartment looks like as she and him hem an' haw before their first kiss.

_ Larson owns ... in more ways than one!

_ That is because he rules and Larson OWNED!

_ Hilarity ensues for the audience as both their senses of humor clash and creates a spark of wits.

_ This is rated M…... ... because it's an adult situation.

I like, also, to artistically change every letter with boldface … Italysis...capitals ... underline...etc. … . .

In addition, this way it all might sound in the mind the way I would read it to you, maybe.

Perhaps it makes me merely seem "nuts."

That's for you to decide.

Angel Schunard 'Don't' Take No as an Answer

by

Larson, Jonathan & Meredith, Mark Walter

The time and date was...: ... December 24TH ... 9:10 P.M... ... eastern Standard

Time._

_ _ _Angel led him past the 11th St lot where a tent city full of homeless in their tents rose up from the grounds of the lot as Angel and Collins walked across the street crosswise. Angel turned around ... smiling at Collins ... slowly pulling his hand. Collins stopped a second saying, "My friends ... though ... why are you doing such to help out someone like me ... somebody you just met? My friends wait for me._ They are waiting ... spending Christmas together ... Davis, Cohen and I used to live together in this studio loft together._ It's Christmas!_ I have to go!"

_ _ _Angel said, "Wrong ... it's not Christmas ... it's Christmas Eve ... and Christmas Eve deserves a Christmas dinner don'tya think?_ I think you asked a question in the same breath you answered your question. Why am I doing it, you asked?_ I've already said it: I am doing it because 'Hell, it's Christmas Eve'!_ You should get more for a Christmas feast than a couple a' knuckle sandwiches._ Davis and Cohen can have Collins as a present on Christmas morning ... let me make you forget about being mugged."

_ _Angel led the way with Collins trailing after by his arm and gently grasping hand. Collins let her drag him along after Angel because this Angel intrigued him ... and he wanted Angel to pull him along after him toward his apartment. Collins knew he could break out of Angel's light grasp but he loved the gentleness of it and wanted to go to Angel's apartment with Angel! Collins knew from Angel's kindness and obvious sincerity that it wasn't a trick of any kind. It wasn't too good to ever be true ... Angel was too true to be bad for Collins. If Angel meant ill toward Collins, Davis, and Cohen ... then Angel would have been more blatant about having sex with him. He would make a lot of sex promises about all the explicit things she was going to do to Collins. Angel would take Collins to Angel's apartment and hit him over the head, turn his skin into a lampshade ... but she wasn't over advertising ... ... nor was Angel smiling evilly so Collins didn't have a scary feeling that this was too good to be true. So Angel was no Jeff'ry Dahmer ... obviously. Collins was only afraid Collins's friends would worry for him but Collins wanted to go along for the ride with Angel anyway! Collins joked ... asking, "What if Cohen and Davis are waiting for me to pitch in for a Christmas feast?"

Meredith-2 …n't Take No for an Answer

_ _ _Angel quickly answered, "You had no money to get Christmas dinner with."

_ _ _Collins replied, "Yeah ... I know._ … Just checking to make sure you're paying attention." Angel and Collins walked past the government recreation center where a homeless woman slept on a small mattress ... like usual. Being led by Angel ... Collins questioned, "Why do you all-of-a-sudden walk some sort of like a woman now that you met me?_ You've been outfitted in clothes which some sort of are macho ... y'know."

Meredith-3 …T Take No for an Answer

_ _ _Angel stated, "I walk as a woman due to how I AM a real woman._ Say for an example a homophobe comes up to me and says I'm a male that wishes he were a woman. I make it ... rule of thumb ... that I say back, 'I am a real woman.' _I was born a man.

I have the junk of a male but I have PUT a lot of work to walking like a model and walking in heels..., ... wearing clothes as a woman wears in public too._ Collins asks, why am I dressed macho?_ Angel says, 'I dress macho because I am a cross dressing super-heroine ... and I am in my secret identity now.'_ It's true ... all of it ... I'm a cross-dressing crime-fighter ... except for the fighting crime part ... of course._ I do dress up as macho at times so nobody can see I am cross dresser at times._ It is better for business when I am drumming for spending money ... tho….." By the time that Angel finished talking ... she led Collins up the stairs to her building stairwell ... and up into inside her apartment before he even knew and realized that he was through her unlocked and opened door. She told him to, "Wait in here." as Angel pointed down to the edge of the rug that Collins was standing at ... Angel pointing an index finger at his Timberlands-style boots... Angel had baby-blue polish on Angel's nails that looked like they were scraped partially off with a workman's fine chisel. Collins heard that the guy that made up the story for True Romance the movie would have his nails done in the same fashion as that only with black polish chiseled as such in early retro 80's punk style which was coming into fashion once again. Angel then said, "I'm going to the next room to get something to show for ya._ I want you to see!_ I'll be back soon!"_Angel walked through an opened door and shut it closed. The room was a study room with a desk and closet in back in a Japanese motif ... incense and an incense-holder was on the desk with music sheets Angel was obviously writing. Somebody obviously wanted to concentrate while writing music sheets and Collins saw a glimpse of a meditation mat in front of a Ninjutsu blade scabbard holder up against the other wall ... and then the door closed. Was it all part of the Oriental theme that pervaded the rest of the apartment to a lesser extent? There was more to Angel than met the eye ... her dreams and hopes..., ... aspirations ... her dislikes/likes. Perhaps Angel practiced the martial arts. Collins noticed Angel's legs on the way to this building ... thick. Maybe Angel could give a mean kick if somebody bothered Angel. Angel probably had good-looking legs. … Kind of bossy ... but Collins some sorta liked that from time to time to time from guys that were attractive. Collins stared at the wooden door in that still silence for a few seconds ... then looked around at the room he was in. Angel said from inside the door, "You don't have to stand there literally ... you can sit down._ Sit on the bed out in the living room ... not the sofa._ I can throw out the sheets but not the couch! I'll be out to put hydrogen peroxide on your knee in a second. I'm sorry the furniture is all rearranged in a weird way ... I'm trying to (pronounced FUNG SHWAY) feng shui the apartment so I can think when I write music._ … Will be right out after I'm changed for support group!" Hum..., Collins had noticed something strange about the king size bed with the living room and the bureaus in strange places but he didn't say anything about it. Collins sat on the edge of the big bed ... and tested the bounce a couple of times ... very cushiony. Finally the wait was over for him and Angel came out and Collins was astonished! Collins thought that she just felt sweaty from being out all day and forsake a shower for merely a change of clothes because Angel had a guest in her place ... but this was a change. Angel was wearing a St. Nick coat..., ... high heels ... a wide St. Nick belt, ... and a wig. Angel said, "Like it Collins?_Do you think it's cute Collins?"

Meredith-5 …n't Take No for an Answer

_ _ _Collins stared in awe, "I love it._ You're going to wear that to group?"

_ _ _Angel replied, "Of course I'm going to wear this to support group Collins!_ Don't you get it Collins?_ I'm St. Nick with a Christmas surprise!_ My surprise is that the reason I am dressed as St. Nick is because it's Christmas ... don't you get it Collins??"

_ _ _Collins answered, "of course I get it!_ I thought for a few seconds that this was for my own enjoyment ... and I was going ta' make sure this was all fer me ... not for group or giving presents to friends ... that's all."

Angel caressed Collins's face and replied, "I am ALL for you today hon.-E!"

_ _Angel knelt down ... continuing to say, "Now ... let's put some Mercurochrome on your leg._ Pull your pants leg up so that Nurse Angel could see the whole skin area._ Is Collins' jeans cuff big and loose enough for that? _Good ... now let's put some Mercurochrome on this."

Meredith-6 …Schunard Do…

_ _ _Collins said, "What the heck is Mercurochrome?" When Angel entered the room a second ago Collins marveled at her ... what Angel wore that he didn't notice the three bottles nor the band-aids in Angel's left hand by the necks of the bottles.

_ _ _Angel answered, "It's iodine ... Mercurochrome is the same as iodine ... just different name ... that's all._ This will hurt."

_ _ _Collins by now had pulled his pant cuff up over his knee and Angel put a drop of Mercurochrome on his leg where it was skinned. Collins yelped, "Ouch!"_

Angel stated "the fact," "It isn't as bad as all that is it y'big silly willy?"

_ _ _Collins said, "Yeah it is."

_ _ _Angel said, "OK ... maybe it is." Angel then used cotton in her palm to put on rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide. Angel put a band-aid on and the blood was cleaned by then.

_ _ _Collins looking at Angel's legs for a while by now ... said, "You've got nice legs."

_ _ _Angel said, "Thank you ... you should see them in my zebra stripe tights". She got on Collins's lap with Angel's arms around Collins's neck loosely and looked into Collins's brown eyes.

Meredith-7 …N't Take No for an Answer

_ _ _Collins asked seriously, "You aren't wearing any underwear under that St. Nick coat and belt are you?"

_ _ _Angel ... answered, "Not until I show you how I look in striped zebra tights ... I'm not at least." Angel put Angel's forefinger on Angel's thick tongue and then put her finger on the side of the bottom of the St. Nick coat and made the sound effect, "Tss!"

_ _ _DEcember 25TH ... ten P.M... ... Eastern Standard Time ... Collins slides open the studio door. Collins happily calls out, "Merry Christchmas ... bistchmass-ES!"

Cohen exclaimed, "14 hours later where were you"? Cohen grasped him and hugged Collins hard after being gone so long.

_ _ _He felt pain where his back had hit the alley wall and Collins' back drug down the wall ... hurting the muscles in his bruised back muscles ... he called out, "Ow-wow-OW wow ow!"

_ _ _Cohen asked ... concerned, "Are you O.K?"_

_ _ _Collins answered, "I've never been better!"_ ….
