“What does she know? Did Angel explain?”
“I’m afraid she wouldn’t let him. I…” Giles removed his glasses. “I told her myself.
I’m sorry, Xander.”
Xander nodded. “It’s okay. You think we should have told her from the beginning?”
“That’s hard to say.” Setting his glasses on the table, he gestured for Xander to sit
in the unoccupied chair. Crossing his arms over his chest, Giles continued, “Sex is a
tricky thing.”
“And the understatement award goes to…”
“May I ask you something?”
“Not like we have a lot of secrets, Giles.”
“Perhaps that’s true.” An exuberated sigh, then, “Do you consider yourself a
virgin?”
Xander allowed himself to be taken back by the question, then leaned back and
prepared himself for a very revealing conversation. “No.”
“But you’ve never had sex with a woman?”
Sigh “Right.”
“And it wasn‘t your choice to start having sex in this manner.”
“True.”
“Do you consider yourself to be gay?”
That one took a little more thought. “No. I mean, I’m not attracted to other men.
And I still like women.”
