"James, I know my mathematics. One plus one equals two," Evonne told her younger cousin. "Mmm. I was good at math," Rosa said, nodding. "Even I can work it out." Rina began giggling on the sideline. "You guys, what James said has nothing to do with mathematics.
He means for you to sleep with Ulysses so you can have the sperm to make you pregnant."
"What?" Evonne's face bloomed pink. "Don't tell me you didn't think about that avenue?" Rina asked with a quirk of her eyebrow. "Of course not. I was just planning to ask him formally," Evonne said. "You could and see what he says," Rosa added because she couldn't even imagine Evonne sleeping with anyone.
Love was a deal-breaking factor in that department. "He would say no, cuz." James provided his opinion. "Who in their right mind would donate sperm to a woman just because she asked for it? Unless you sleep with them, of course.
And how is he supposed to deliver the live sperm to you anyway, if, hypothetically speaking, he agrees on your terms and conditions? Like when he gets his thing up and hard, then…" Argh, how could he explain this analogy to his cousin? Then he finally said, "You know that thing, and then he puts it in a petri dish for you."
"Thing? What thing?" Evonne asked, looking even more confused. James sighed. "You know… his little brother, ding-dong, willie?" "Urgh, James, that's gross terminology."
Evonne winced in disgust. "What am I supposed to say? Co—" "Don't even say it. I'll make you wash your mouth out when you get home," Evonne warned. "Enough about the terminology, then. What I'm trying to say is the best way is just to sleep with him. Get it once and then it's done. Just make sure he doesn't wear a condom, that's all."
" James, I'm going to smack your head in a minute. Stop suggesting such foul ideas." Evonne's cheeks burned even brighter. "You don't have to be shy, cuz. I know you've never done it before." "That's it. Rina, switch seats with me. I'm going to give this no-good cousin of mine a full-blown punishment."
"Rina, help me." James hugged himself closer to Rina. "You know, what James said is also true. I think he has a point," Rosa said after pondering his suggestion. "Rosa, how could you agree with him? You never agree on anything he says." Evonne glared at her friend as she'd just grown a pair of devil's horns.
Rosa and James hardly got along, but now it looked like the ray of friendship was shining upon them. "That's because I didn't want to admit he's smart. This time, he is smart," Rosa said. "Rosa. I love you. I am now officially your friend. Hug me."
James got up from his seat and went to hug Rosa from behind. "All right, enough now, little puppy. Let's get back to business."
Rosa patted James on the hand that he'd wound around her neck. "Now, be a good boy and go back to your seat," she instructed. Once James went back to his seat as Rosa had ordered, she turned to Evonne.
"You should listen to James 's advice." "No, no. I've never done it before." Evonne shook her head, not wanting to acknowledge the truth. "If you want his sperm that much, then you'll have to do it. I'll help you," James added.
"No!" Evonne said. "I want a baby, but that doesn't mean I have to beg someone to sleep with me. I still have my dignity, you know."
"Fine," James grumbled as he slid back into his chair. Meanwhile, Rosa and Rina watched their friend's sad face and wondered what they could do to help with her dilemma.
