Chapter 14
.
Sarah was shocked to have been kissed by Bianca. It wasn't the first time she'd been kissed by a girl, but in this case it was weird. It was not made any better when they realized Bianca's step-father Jackson was watching them at the club. Jackson came over and the three of them began their awkward conversation.
.
Sarah: How long have you been here?
Jackson: About an hour. Erica wanted me to make sure the club was suitable. They made me get the hand stamp because I left my driver's licence in the car. So I've been talking with a nice man about the Phillies until I realized he was flirting with me. It was only then I realized most of the couples dancing were of the same sex, which made me very curious. Bianca, is there anything you want to tell me?
Bianca: Yeah, I'm gay. Ryan and I have just been going through the motions because I'm not ready to come out.
Jackson: I see. Does Ryan know?
Bianca: Yes, he and Sarah have secretly been together for a couple of weeks.
Jackson: And yet you kissed Sarah.
Sarah: Yeah, that was just a little bit weird. I should go home. Jackson if you can give Bianca a ride I'll take the motorcycle.
Jackson: Yeah, no problem.
.
As Sarah left the club Jackson realized what he'd said.
.
Jackson: Wait, Sarah brought you here on her motorcycle?
Bianca: Yes. We both wore helmets.
Jackson: Still, I don't recommend it.
Bianca: Are you dissapointed in me?
Jackson: More like I'm concerned for your safety, motorcycles are very dangerous.
Bianca: I mean about, the other thing.
Jackson: You're like a daughter to me, I'm not going to stop loving you just because you're gay. Neither will Erica when she learns.
Bianca: I'm not so sure about that.
Jackson: It might take her a little while to get used to it, but she's your mother. She gave you life, she loves you more than anything. But I can't recommend kissing someone else's girlfriend. I also think it's a bad idea to keep up the pretense and deny Ryan and Sarah the chance to be a real couple.
Bianca: You're right, the three of us need to have a serious conversation. But I love Sarah, and hope she can love me too.
