Pop's Waitress

Asking Cheryl

I was at Cheryl's house. We've been hanging out a lot more. She was in the bathroom and I was in the kitchen eating strawberries.

"Hey Toni," Cheryl  said in a soft curious voice coming to sit down, "What was it like? Coming out,"

I thought a bit "I guess it was scary. I didn't want to be judged on who I love, but... I guess that's just like every other gay person." She smiled at me, "It's easier when you know that you have people in your life who would love you even if you killed them. I had the Serpents, my uncle hated that I dated girls. But they were always loving and nonjudgmental, and then I got Jug. He was the best person I ever knew. We used to talk for hours about the people we were dating. Why do you ask?"

"I don't know, I was just curious." She shrugged her shoulders. "C'mon, let's go prank call everyone."
We prank called almost everyone in our contacts then did other fun stuff. After all that I went home.

The next day I went to Cheryl's house. "Hey little mermaid."

"Greetings Pinker Bell. Please do come in." She moved out of the way so I could enter Thistle House.

I sighed, "Cher, can we talk?"

"You said that very strangely. What is it?" She said sitting on her beautiful red couch that matched her pajamas.

"Okay I don't want to overstep my boundaries," I sat down next to her and took a deep breath. "Cheryl, I get this vibe from you and it's like... Like you're screaming for help and it's like you need someone to give you the love your family never did." I looked at my legs afraid of making eye contact, "Cheryl I like you and I think that the you drank that wine to get rid of the feeling that your mother hates you because of who you love. Because you're like me. Your attracted to, people like me and it hurts you to admit it because you think once you say it out loud no one will love you anymore. But Cheryl it isn't true and it never will be because these past few days of spending time with you... It made me realize something." I paused, lifted my head and gazed straight into her beautiful shiny brown eyes, "Your not deviant... You're sensational. And I know you will find love and you are loved and I can promise you that because... I love you," she just stared at my eyes for a moment. "I-I'm sorry-" She attacked my lips with her's pushing me down on the couch with her on top of me. She stopped, "I was screaming, I'm glad you heard." She kissed me again, more passionately not pulling away. I wish it could be like this forever.
