This one's a bit shorter than the other two. But…I still had fun writing it. Hope you like it.

3. A Kiss Is Still a Kiss

Gil had lost count of the number of times he had been tossed out of the chip shop for whatever reason. Sometimes he knew why, other times he didn't. This was one of those other times. But being who he was, he took it all with a grain of salt.

This instance, however, he had an idea, and a rather brilliant one at that. An idea that would leave, Uma speechless. Possibly Harry and everyone else in the chip shop, as well.

Gil sauntered over to the would-be sea witch with a maniacal grin plastered on his face. Uma glared at him.

"I'm leavin'," he said. "Just one thing before I go."

"And what's that?" She replied flatly.

Harry was staring at them, intrigued…and munching on clam strips.

The blond leaned into her as if he were going to whisper something to her. He placed his hand under her chin, lifting it up, and before she could react in any way, pressed his lips against hers. It was no simple kiss, nor was it quick. Neither was it devoid of any emotion. There is no part of him that didn't mean it. He had wanted to kiss Uma for some time now, but being who they were…. Not that he was truly interested in her that way. She was more like a bossy, younger sister (kind of like CJ was to Harry) most of the time.

Gil stepped back, a purposeful deadpan expression on his face. Harry stared, bug-eyed and slack-jawed. And Uma… Uma was frozen, her eyes the size of saucers. Yep, just the reaction he'd pictured. He turned on his heel and walked out of the chip shop, smiling.

Regaining his composure, and after stuffing a few more clam strips into his mouth, Harry turned to a still frozen Uma. "So," he began with a grin, "how was it?"

I'm sure Uma will recover. Eventually.

I couldn't resist writing this. I just thought it would be really funny. Hey, if Gil's going to get thrown out, he may as well go with a little style, right?

The next chapter of "Fallen Angel" is almost ready to go. It will a take a little while to type up (even though I use Dragon) since I write all my stories by hand first, and this new chapter is almost twice as long as the first.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it, my lovelies.
