They didn't talk for a while, but then Sunshine said, "Angel,
I'm really sorry..."
"Don't."
"Don't what?"
"Just...don't look like that. All injured. I don't want to
make you feel like that. I'm sorry."
They stood there for a while, feeling kinda embarrassed.
Then, Angel said, "Sunshine, I gotta question for you."
"Shoot."
"At camp, did you really kiss Gerry Bertier?"
Sunshine laughed. "You heard about that, huh?"
"Yeah. So....what gives?"
"Everyone on the team thinks that I am gay. Well, I
kissed one of them to prove a point."
"Which is..."
" I really don't give a f*** what they think about me."
Angel thought about this for a while. "Well, that makes
sense." Then she thought some more.
"So, are you?"
"Am I what?"
" Homosexual, silly."
Sunshine turned Angel's face until they were face to face.
He leaned in, and kissed her without either of them even
thinking about it. The kiss lasted about 45 seconds. When
he pulled away, Angel was breathless. "Well, does that
answer your question?" Sunshine said softly.
Sunshine pulled in front of Angel's house at 10:45 pm, 15
minutes before her curfew. He walked her to her door, and
they both stood there for a second.
"Well, I had a good time." Angel said.
" Yeah, me too. See you tommorrow?"
" Yeah."
Sunshine took Angel's hand and placed a soft kiss on it.
He backed off her porch, then turned around and walked back
to his car.
Angel walked into her house, feeling on top of the world.
In the living room, her big brother Matthew was waiting for
her.
"Hey baby-doll, how'd it go?" He said, taking off his
glasses and closing his book.
"Mattie, I'm scared."
He looked concerned. "What's wrong baby? Did he..."
" No, no. Nothing like that. I think I am falling in love or
something, and it's scary."
Matthew smiled. "Angel, you have got to let go of the
past."
Angel grimaced. "But I am a bitch, Mattie. Guys don't
fall for me. I put the last guy I dated in intensive care when I
found out he was cheating on me with the school tramp. What
if...?" She flopped on the couch in despair.
Mattie said, "Baby, listento me. You love passionatly,
and that's a good thing. People learn not to cross you and that
is also a good thing. You just have to rememeber....you were
young. And you flew off the handle. That's all."
"Thanks Mattie."Angel said, and hugged him.
I'm really sorry..."
"Don't."
"Don't what?"
"Just...don't look like that. All injured. I don't want to
make you feel like that. I'm sorry."
