We got through dinner and dessert pretty well except Hunter kept looking at me kinda weird and it started to worry me. Finally we were settled on the couch and before I could say anything Hunter started to talk. "Before our relationship goes any farther I think its time I tell you something kinda important." "Okay I have something to tell you also." Secretly I started to fear that Hunter was going to dump me and I hoped that I was wrong.
"When I was turning tricks for money I slept with the wrong person." "Well Hunter what happened are you okay." I think deep down I knew what he was going to tell me. "I'm HIV positive and I've been like this for a while so sex is an option but we just have o be careful." He said softly and I realized that compared to his news mine wasn't as important anymore.
"What was it you wanted to tell me?" Hunter asked softly. "Two years ago while I was walking home from Liberty Avenue I was raped by some guys and when I met you I was finally starting to heal." I replied and Hunter started to smile at me. "What a pair we make huh." He said and for the rest of our date we curled up and watched a movie till we fell asleep.
Justin and Brian came home around four a.m. and by this time we had already called and gotten permission for Hunter to stay the night. I just remember Brian carrying me up to bed and Justin covering up Hunter. "Night Bri. I love you." I muttered sleepily. "Night Angel love you back." Then he tucked me in.
