Alejandro watched as Collins cried into Mimi's shoulder and became infuriated.

"I can't believe this!" he said. "I don't believe Ángel would be this heartless!"

"Alejandro, calm down," Alicia said.

"Calm down!? I'll calm down when I know why Ángel walked out on him . . . again!"

"Ángel is very sensitive, Alejandro! You know that!"

"Collins is in pain and you two aren't helping!" Mimi shouted. Alejandro and Alicia fell silent as Mimi gently rubbed Collins' back. "It'll be okay, chico."

"No it won't," Collins replied. "She's probably at home packin' all my stuff and puttin' it on the sidewalk. No . . . throwin' it off the fire escape."

"I know Angel. She loves you. She'll take you back."

"No she won't."

"Collins, I know Angel. You're the best thing that's ever happened to her. She wouldn't just throw all of that away."

"She walked out on me twice so that proves you wrong." Alicia walked over to Collins, stood him up, and wiped some of his tears away.

"I'll talk to Ángel if you'd like me too," she told him.

"Or we could just go back to the apartment and wait for Ángel to come home," Alejandro suggested, still a little angry.

"Alejandro, calm yourself down," Alicia demanded. She continued in a softer tone. "It's up to you, Collins." Collins looked at the floor before answering.

"I'd rather go home and wait for Angel," he said. "So I can try to get her to forgive me." Alicia nodded and she, Collins, and Alejandro left Mimi's flat.

The car ride back to the apartment was seemed to last forever. Alicia tried to cheer Collins up as Alejandro drove, gripping the steering wheel tightly. Once they'd arrived at their destination, Collins was the first to get out, very slowly, and Alejandro and Alicia soon followed. He had stopped crying, but wasn't completely happy. He and the two Schunards climbed the three flights of stairs and he opened the door. Inside, he was immediately pulled into a deep, passionate kiss.

"Ángel?" both Alicia and Alejandro said. The kiss was broken a few seconds later and Collins looked into Angel's eyes.

"What in the world wa-" Collins started.

"Shut up and kiss me," Angel interrupted, pulling her lover into another kiss. This time Collins broke the kiss.

"I thought you hated me," he said.

"I could never hate you. I can be pissed at you, but never hate you."

"Then why'd you leave?"

"I needed to think. Collins, guys have apologized to me before, but no one, except you, has ever got on their knees and begged for my forgiveness."

"So, does this mean you forgive me?"

"Partially."

"How is that possible?"

"In order for me to fully forgive you, you gotta start kissing up."

"'Kissing up?'"

"Yup. You'll start with my feet, work your way up to my thighs, then I want you to-"

"Your parents are right there," Collins interrupted.

"Then let's continue this conversation in the bedroom," Angel said, taking Collins by the hand. "We've got a lot of making up to do."


The next morning, Collins looked at his sleeping lover, leaned over to open the drawer of the nightstand, took the engagment ring he was hiding out of it, and slipped it on Angel's finger. Then he kissed her gently, causing her to wake up.

"Morning, honey," Angel said.

"Mornin'," Collins replied, watching Angel rub her eyes. As she did she noticed the ring on her finger and let out a high-pitched scream. "I'm takin' that as a yes."

"YES, YES, A THOUSAND TIMES YES!" Angel screamed. She jumped on Collins and kissed him passionately as her parents came into the room.

"Is everything okay in here?" Alicia asked.

"Mamá, he asked me to marry him!" Angel exclaimed.

"It's about time," Alejandro said. "I'm finally going to have a son-in-law."

After celebrating the couple's engagement, Alejandro and Alicia packed their things and took Angel and Collins to the airport with them.

"Hey, Collins, think of this as an early wedding present," Alejandro said, tossing the car keys to Collins.

"You're giving us your car?" Collins asked in shock.

"We've got three, dear," Alicia told him. She and Alejandro then boraded their plane as Angel and Collins watched it take off.

"So, when can I meet your parents honey?" Angel asked.

I'M DONE! WOO! Review please.
