Giselle's pov
That talk with the priest made me feel better but I couldn't stop thinking about it, both the talk and that dream about Jessie and Mason. Why would i feel the interest in kissing Jessie but also enjoy being with Mason and want to kiss Mason too? Was I .....Gay? Like Charlotte?
Most recently, at a pier outing with my friends, Charlotte had come out to us that she was gay, i had no problem with that of course and it did explain why she seemed so stand-offish, it can be hard holding in such a secret. When father found out, he wasn't happy and tried to forbid me from seeing my friends again but i was able to convince him to calm down and let it go after a while. It didn't stop him from making a comment about how "Thank you to the Lord that my precious daughter isn't like that". Sure, i don't think i was gay but at the same time.......I don't think I'm entirely straight either. It's been bugging me, the priest said it was just a confusing time but then again, was it? i wasn't that young, surely something was up. I had to find out more.
On a rainy afternoon, I put on my cloak and had gone out to the bookstore. Father wasn't quite happy about me interested in any fiction books because he believed the Lord's word should be the only word I read but he let it go, it wasn't something he was extreme about. I do enjoy books though. But today, I had a different mission when it came to books. and technically, the books i was looking for were non-fiction.
I entered the book shop, giving a kind and quiet nod to the storekeeper before I began to browse. I definitely avoided the religion books, I didn't want them anyway and Father would probably smite me where i stood if i brought home a book not about our God. I passed the cooking books, despite being interested in making a few desserts i've seen in my favorite cafe. Skipping the fiction books, I arrived at what was known as the "LGBTQ+ books". It wasn't really a popular selection and not very diverse there either. I picked up a hard cover that said, "Sexualities and What they mean". That has to be simple enough to read. Maybe it would give me answers.
I picked it out but decided to pick out some more to hide the title. I picked out a dessert cookbook and then a bible. I went to the front to pay for them.
I didn't look the shopkeeper in the eyes as i paid for my stuff and left quickly. I ran straight home and came inside.
"Giselle, where did you go?" I heard father asked.
"oh, um, i wanted to get a cookbook for those delicious pastries we had at that cafe last week and i also got a new bible, my current one is falling apart" I only partially lied, still facing the stairs as he was in the kitchen.
"well, alright" He spoke before I headed up to my room. I breathed a sigh of relief as i shut my door. I looked at the books i had and set aside the cookbook and the bible. I made sure my door was closed and my windows were shut before i sat on my bed and opened the LGBTQ book.
The first few pages were of course intros and table of contents. I got the first page: Heterosexual
I read quietly, Heterosexual was what people called Straight, meant that you would be attracted to your opposite gender and only your opposite gender.
