The Gossip

Chapter 9

Angel's POV

Angel wakes up and sees Grey curled up against him. He reaches over to grab his phone and look at the time. It's 8. It's too early to be awake. He notices a text from Alec.

Alec: "When he is awake, will you call me?"

Angel: "Why?"

Alec: "Because I would like to talk to him while he is not acting crazy."

Angel: "He isn't awake, but I will let you know when."

"Who are you texting?" Grey asks as he sits up.

"Alec."

"Ew. Why?"

"He wants to talk to you."

"I would rather not."

"Why not? He's your best friend."

"No. I forgave you and that's it. He can sulk and deal with it."

"You shouldn't just forgive me. That's unfair."

"How is that unfair?"

"I did the same thing he did."

"Yeah but I like you and he is just a douche. I don't have to forgive him yet."

"You should though. He's trying to make it better."

"I'm going to, but not right now. Let me enjoy being with you without added stress."

"I want that too, but he's your best friend. You should try to talk with him."

"Angel. I'm going to shove my foot in your ass. I will talk to him. Not right now. If you keep rushing me then I will just not do it at all."

"Ok ok, sorry." Angel puts up his hands in surrender. Grey looks up at him and smiles.

"Thank you. Now what do we need to talk about to fix this relationship?"

"Well, what made you upset with me before? I honestly don't completely understand why you were so angry with me."

"Well you kept giving me hints that you wanted me and I was fine with that. But when you turn around and tell me that you're not gay a million times a day it hurts. Then it hurt even more when you continued our physical relationship. I felt like you were using me as some side piece to fuck then throw away."

"Um... alright. So, then we definitely need to work on being completely honest with each other. Also, we need to learn to communicate better."

"Well I think that I communicate pretty well. It's just even now I don't get an 'I'm sorry for making you feel that way' from you. It hurts Angel."

"Ok, so I need to learn to communicate. Also, I definitely am sorry for the way I treated you and for leading you on like that. I should have figured out my feelings first."

"Thank you. I'm sorry for being a self entitled asshole."

"Ok, so, are we good now? I think we've figured out what our main problems are."

"Yep and that means we can move on. Maybe we can start working on if we're going to be together."

"I definitely want to be with you. I have an idea, why don't we go on a date or something?"

"That's a really cute idea and I would love to. I actually have tickets to a slam poetry thing. I was going to ask you to go but then you decided to try and hook up with Alec."

"I didn't try to hook up with him. We're just friends. But that doesn't matter. A poetry slam sounds interesting. When is it?"

"Tomorrow night and in my mind you guys totally had sex."
