Chapter 10
Meat was 15 when her best friend came out to her as Bi. Well, Bi curious. Aretha was only a year older than Meat. They sat in Meat's shared bedroom and talked.
"Meat, can I be honest with you?"
"Sure. We're best friends, ofcourse you can."
"Well, there's this person I like, and I don't know if they like me back. I don't even know if i'm into her like that."
"So it's a she? I didn't know you were bi?"
"I- I don't know."
"Well, do you see yourself possibly with her in more than a year?"
"Izzy? Yeah, if I knew what was going on with me. I'm freaking out."
"Chill hen. Why don't I help ya out?"
"What?"
"I may be dating Brit, but I'm still Bi. I'll kiss ya and then you can decide. Jus' remember, I see you as nothin' more that a frien'." Aretha thought.
"I don't-"
"You'll never know untill ya try."
"You're right. Here goes no-" She didn't finish her sentence, Meat's lips were attacking hers. It was OK, no, scratch that, it was brilliant, she began kissing her friend back. They were so preocupied they didn't hear the door open.
"Holly Hell. What the-?"
"Brit this isn' wha' it looks like." Meat said as Aretha scurried from the room mouthing a 'sorry' to Meat.
"Then what is it?"
"I was jus' helping a friend who was Bi curious. Aretha likes Izzy. I was helping her. An' a'l tell you wha' I told her. I see her as no more then a friend."
"Oh, babes, i'm sorry. I really, really am."
"I know. I forgive you. Although, Retha is a good kisser..." She teased as he brought his lips to hers. When she kissed him back, his earlier fearsbegan to melt away...
