CHAPTER 7: Just Talk
“John, earth to John. “ Brenda yelled.
“What?”
“You haven’t said two words to me since we lift Mc’ D’s. “
“Um sorry, thinking.”
“You know, Kevin is a how shall I put it, an asshole.”
“He’s not to bad, once you get to know him.” John told her.
“I’ll pass. Hey hon., wanna talk about it?”
“There’s nothing to talk about.”
“Well I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to call it a night. Lets take a walk thru the park. “
“Whatever you want.” John took her hand and pulled her close. “This feels good.” He thought.
“I love the park at night. The stars are really beautiful.” Brenda commented.
Honestly, John could say he loved this woman. Brenda was everything he was looking for, smart, funny and true to herself. Her ability to find the true John, the man deep down inside, intrigued him.
He held her closer, enjoying the feel or her body against his.
“Mr. Dixon are you getting fresh with me.” Brenda said as she laid her head on his shoulder.
“If you want me to.” John answered “B, why didn’t we take this further?”
“Because you were more interested in my brother than you were in me.” She replied.
“You don’t have a brother.” He laughed. “No really.
“Because our friendship is to deep. Besides hon., your gay. I don’t want to make you anymore confused than you already are.”
“What if I’m not confused, I’m thinking clearly. Doesn’t this feel right?”
“John, honey. Chose, who would you rather sleep wit. Me of Brad Pitt?”
“That’s an unfair question, have you seen his eyes.” John joked
“See what I mean.”
“So. I’m gay. I just feel so close to you. Know what I mean?”
“Yeah. Look Dixon, I love you, not just as my best friend, but as much more. I know, even if you
don’t, your not in love with me. I know you have love for me and I would be the easy way out. But with all the love you have for me, you’ll always love him more.” Brenda said, putting towards Steve and Linda.
John stared across the park at Steve. Until that very moment, he hadn’t realized his intense feeling for him. He’d wrote them off, thinking his emotion were self imposed, left over from the past. He still cared for this man very much, but he couldn’t face it right now. Steve and Linda hadn’t noticed them yet, so there was still time to get away.
“So are you going to talk to him?” Brenda asked breaking into his thoughts.
“No, lets just leave.” He said turning to walk away.
“Oh no you don’t. We’re going over there. You need closure."
“Yeah, and what should I say. Hi Steve, remember me.”
“How about hey Steve, can we talk. Then keep it real. Tell him what your feeling inside.
“Great idea, then we’ll go make love and live happily ever after. Get real B. Lets go.”
“John, we’ve talked about this man for the last two years. I’m tiered. If you don’t need closure,
hell I do. You still have feelings for him, maybe not love, I could be wrong about that. But he obvious has a place in your heart. Go talk to him NOW!
“Ok, what do you want me to say?” John asked. He wanted to talk to Steve, but he was already at a lost for words. What could they possibly have to say to one another?
“How about, I’m sorry for pounding your face in. Now come on.” She said pulling him across the grass towards Steve.
