Angel Chapter 7

"No, I've never had much interest." Angel had been compelled to compete in the sport as a boy, and had hated it, even more than she hated the other rough boys' games she had to play. Her enforced participation ended after she became a girl, to her great relief, and she had also never developed any interest in being a fan.

"Well, Rocky certainly seemed interested in you. What did you think of him?" Cheryl was looking for a juicy tidbit to gossip about with the other women.

Angel refused to provide any. "Well, he was certainly a pleasant gentleman."

"Handsome, too, isn't he?"

"I suppose so, for an old guy."

Apparently, the last comment made Cheryl drop her search for gossip in that particular area, and the conversation among them and the rest of the table turned to other things. Angel had effectively denied any kind of possible romantic interest in Rocky, but she felt quite a bit of it. Besides being "a pleasant gentleman", she did regard him as handsome, and just the kind of man she enjoyed being around, or in bed with. Furthermore, she agreed with Cheryl that he did seem interested, although Angel would deny having noticed anything of the sort. She would always have to consider her policy regarding employees or customers of the bank, and the fact that he might consider her to be some kind of a freak. Those two factors would seem to eliminate any furthering of what was still a non-existent relationship, although some day, she might be able to do something about them.
