“What do you think it means?” Shannon asked.
“I think it means he likes you,” Angel replied.
> “Oh, he likes you all right.” Crystal turned to Angel. “You should have seen him when she walked in the club Friday night. His jaw hit the floor. He didn’t leave her side the whole night.”
Angel turned, grinning at Shannon.
Crystal kept on. “I knew that outfit would do the trick.”
Angel looked at Shannon. “Have you, you know…”
“Have we what?” Shannon asked.
Crystal grinned, not afraid to be blunt. “Has he fucked you yet?”
“Crystal!” Angel reprimanded her.
“What? It’s what we all want to know, isn’t it?”
“You don’t have to be so crude about it.”
Crystal rolled her eyes. “Fine. Has that beautiful God of a man made sweet love to you yet?” She turned to Angel. “Is that better?”
Angel smiled. “Yes.”
They both turned to Shannon and said simultaneously, “Well, has he?”
“No, not yet.”
“Has he tried?” Angel asked. “Have you kissed or anything?”
“We’ve kissed and…some other stuff.”
“Ooo…other stuff can be yummy,” Crystal commented with an eyebrow waggle.
“And well he kind of asked me…”
“What? Asked you what?” Angel prodded.
“He showed me that cage thing.”
“Oh, yeah, the cage fighting. What about it?”
Crystal turned to Angel. “This is like pulling teeth for God’s sake.”
They both turned to Shannon and said, “Just tell us!”
“Okay, okay. He, umm…he said a woman like me didn’t just give it away, that a guy had to earn it.”
“Ooo, that’s so romantic.”
“He’s scoring major points in my book for that,” Crystal noted.
“He asked me if he won the fight next weekend, would I bestow a prize on him. When I asked what kind of a prize, he said he wanted me to spend one night with him.”
“Oh my God! I can’t believe you’re not already all over that boy. You two looked so hot for each other Friday night,” Crystal remarked.
“How do you feel about him?” Angel asked.
