1 Chapter 1

"You are leaving earlier today." Jake mentioned.

"Well, I came earlier today." Vera countered.

"So, why won't you have sex with me yet?" Jake blurted.

"Oh". Vera expressed, in a low tone.

The matter had been recurring on her mind for a while but she didn't think to ever mention it to Jake.

"I didn't know you cared enough", she added.

"I mean, you've just never attempted it with me. Why's that?"

"Huh? I've never attempted it with anybody." She said, shrugging.

"Really? That's crazy!" Jake was astonished.

"Yeah, that's that "are you lying right now?" look that I get from everyone when I reveal my virginity."

"It's just so hard to believe. You are like really badass and way enlightened… Neither are you lagging in exposure." Jake was still in awe.

"Thanks, I guess." Vera grinned, she was quite flattered.

"I've got to go". She adjusted her loosely worn dress and zipped it up.

"Here's your pant". Jake stretched his hand, holding the pant, forth.

"Was about to file a search warrant because of that". She teased as they both burst into laughter.

"Just go home without panties because I will be keeping this."

"Then I will be spending the night here because I can't go anywhere without wearing a pant."

"My parents will be back soon. Ma'am, kindly get out". Jake handed the pant over.

"Go to hell, sir." Vera snatched her pant.

They both giggled from inside the house, down the street. Vera boarded a bus; Jake went back home after they exchange their farewell.

On the ride home, all Vera thinks of is Jake's question. Although, she had the matter in mind beforehand, Jake's question still hit her abruptly.

Maybe I should actually let Jake be my first timer. Apparently, I have been longing to copulate but I just hoped it'd be intimate. The level of intimacy I crave; I have not attained with anybody since Wilson, but — I like Jake. It wouldn't even be a bad idea to date him except he won't let us go past Friends With Benefits. I'll surprise him the next time I see him. Vera soliloquized as she alighted from the bus.

***The following week***

"Oh, it's even Jake". Vera muttered as she grabbed her ringing phone.

"Heee… Hello?" Vera gasped.

"What's wrong with your dumbass?" Jake laughed.

"You are pathetically dense. I was running to get my phone. I thought it was a useful person ringing my line."

"So I'm not useful?"

"Apparently?"

"Oh", Jake was hurt.

"Chill now. I was just joking."

"Was quite scared, to be candid."

This was the part that Vera always got confused. Jake asserted he didn't want a relationship with her but whenever she threw it in his face that they were not dating or she didn't want him, he got hurt. Furthermore, when she willingly did sweet acts for him, he was always glad. Why are his actions different from his words?

"What did you call for, anyway?" Vera continued the conversation.

"I can't call you?"

"Bro, don't start. Just get to the point".

"Alright. You didn't say anything about coming to see me this week."

"Perhaps, I won't". Vera shrugged.

"Why not?"

"I'm pretty sure you don't exactly want me there. You're just really horny and you want to be sure if I'm the girl for the week or you have to put a call through to the rest of your options".

"Why you gotta be this crazy? You are coming or not? What you saying?".

Jake never liked to talk much. Even during arguments, he always managed to keep calm. He complemented Vera quite well because she was one to talk.

"I'll come tomorrow. Ugh!" Vera gave in.

"Good girl. See ya."

"Get out". Vera teased as she hung up.

I wonder Jake's reaction tomorrow when I tell him I'm ready to copulate.
