Confrontation....

Oscar followed Sapphire cautiously into the alley. *Oh s***,* thought Oscar when he finally saw the expression on Sapphire's face or rather the lack of expression. It didn't look promising for him.

"What's goin' on between you and Mattie, Oscar?," demanded Sapphire.

Oscar was taken aback by the question. "Uh...obviously ya weren't paying attention ta what jist 'appened. You know she jist hit me and called me an a**hole." He put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the brick building.

"She told me about da kiss," Sapphire grounded out as she crossed her arms over her chest.

Oscar's lips made an 'o' before he dropped his head. He was silent a moment before he simply replied, "Dat...kiss should've never happened."

"But it did happen," she stated flatly.

"Dammit ya sound jist like Mattie," he snapped. "Why don't you two jist understand dat it was a mistake dat I regret?"

"Oh so now she's a mistake ta ya?," asked Sapphire as her eyes flashed angrily.

"Yes...no....s***, I dunno," replied Oscar exasperated.

Sapphire watched Oscar's expression for a second and then smiled slowly. "So ya like 'er dat much? Yer jist scared ta admit it. Yer afraid dat she'll be like me and turn ya down. Ya know, you can't let one rejection tear you down. It's not fair to Mattie that just because I don't think about you in that way, you've sworn off love forever." She smiled again and added jokingly, "Personally I'm not that important ta fret ovea anyway."

Oscar pushed off the wall with his foot and stalked out of the alley. Sapphire watched in shock as he disappeared. *Should've hit him while I had the chance. Might've knocked some sense inta him,* she thought angrily.
