OOC: This post contains reference to a real-world Christian radio personality named Janet Parshall. Her program "Janet Parshall's America" was, when I lived in Maryland, carried by radio station WAVA in the Washington, DC area.


The last period before Trig ended. A piece of music suddenly came to Alipang's mind: one of the two music themes alternately used to open Janet Parshall's Christian talk-radio program. Not the shallow, peppy one, but the solemn, wistful, noble-sounding one with an unusual blend of piano with trumpets and horns. Alipang had only heard this melody a few times; but it had struck him that if he were a movie character about to go to a gloriously heroic death, he would want that melody to be heard on the soundtrack. The tune came to him now, because he was going to a modest little death: the death of his very, very first (and overdue) boyhood crush.

The humiliation began to fall away from him like shattered chains. He knew that no matter how much scornful contempt awaited him in the luxurious dark eyes of Kim Tisdale, he had in fact done NOTHING to deserve her contempt. Not one blessed thing. This knowledge put a firmness in his stride as he went to meet his fate.
 
OOC: Freeze frame. Alipang's life cannot move one more step forward until Kim-the-actual-person gets back here and makes Kim-the-character DO something.
 
He entered the Trigonometry classroom.

There she was, her beauty stabbing his eyes like the noon sun....

And it remained for Dayhawk to decide whether this thread would end happily or agonizingly for Alipang...
 
OOC: It's the end of the day now and Chilena is taking Al home and she well be saying Dan later on the day :]

ic: Chilena and Al was in her car about to go home.
 
"Please, Chil, stop someplace out of the way for a little while."

When she did so and shut off the motor, Alipang unbuckled his seat belt, asked her to unbuckle hers--and then pulled her into a grand squishy hug, kissing both her cheeks twice each into the bargain. "I have to convince you that you'll never be unwanted, sweets, be-caaaaauuuse....KIM LIKES ME! SHE SAID SHE LIKES ME!!!!! And I don't want you to see it as ANYTHING but good news!" He hugged and kissed Chilena some more.
 
Al wasn't going to let her see any down side in his news if he could help it. They were near a wooded area, so he got out, came around, persuaded Chilena to get out also and lock the car, then took her hand and led her to a secluded spot. There he drew her into his arms again, and kissed her several times more in the time it took to say this to her:

"Chilena, honey....you are _such_ a huge part of my life....nothing can _ever_ change how important you are to me....We've talked about this before....You having Dan in your life doesn't bother me....because it's a different _kind_ of love....that isn't competing at all....If things go as well as I'm hoping with Kim....she wouldn't let me split her away....from _her_ sisters....and so I won't let her split me away from mine....Now, sweets, I'm way ahead, so you need to give ME a kiss or two to prove you believe me."
 
Alipang sat down with her, still holding her. "Sweets, I believe that God is in this, and He'll take it as far as He wants it to go, without letting me OR Kim hurt the other. But while I know you mean it about not wanting me hurt--" (he didn't have to say that he was remembering her blabbing to Kim, she knew he could hardly forget that although he had been swift to forgive her) "--that isn't the ONLY thing in the picture. Last night, you were sitting on my lap, telling me that you felt unwanted because of my interest in Kim. I think some of that is still hanging around your dear sweet mind." He kissed her firmly. "So what can I do to assure you that what WE have between US, what really counts about it, WON'T be destroyed?"
 
Kissing her yellow hair and then rubbing his cheek against it, he said, "But I care, so I need to know what you mean by you NOT caring. Do you mean you already trust me always to love you, so I don't need to prove it?" As he spoke, he was getting his back against a tree and hauling her into another lap-sit, his arms placed around her for the best possible cuddling effect.
 
" I trust you Al and I all ways well," she told him, laying her head on his chest " you are my brother I all ways love you no, matter what," she told him.
 
He squeezed her and held her and hugged her for a good while, then added, "I don't think that Kim is angry anymore about the confrontation with you yesterday, if she ever was; and I believe now that it actually _helped_ things along when you forced the issue. So--"

Exactly as he had done on so many past occasions beyond counting, he gently raised her face toward him again, and kissed her again. "THANK YOU, sweets. I love you now and always. I love you no matter what else happens. I love you, Chilena."

After still another hearty snuggle to punctuate that, he asked, "So does this mean you won't feel rejected, unwanted or unloved if Kim becomes my girlfriend? Be careful how you answer that; a lot is at stake. If you answer yes, I will hug you and kiss you again. BUT, if you answer no--I will hug you and kiss you again. So think it over carefully."
 
Alipang delivered the promised/threatened hug and kiss...cuddled her on his lap a bit longer....slid her off without really letting go...stood up with her, whereon they hugged and kissed again...then went back to the car with her, keeping an arm around her shoulders as her good arm was around his waist, until they had to let go of each other to get in. Then he hugged her again inside the car, before she started the motor and pulled out.

Their love would never die, never become unimportant.

Yet for whatever difference it might make, this had probably been their last snuggling time together with Chilena being the ONLY one of the two having a dating relationship with someone also.
 
They came home and Al told them the good news about Kim and him.
