From the origin of both friends, Charlie had known Harper to be a virgin, but she herself wasn't one. And because of that, she hardly discussed sex issues with Harper..
But this time around, she began to believe that Harper wasn't more of a virgin with a look at how she remained devoted to her lover, Alexander. She decided to ask her in order not to be left behind.
In Charlie bedroom:
" Should I ask you a question?" Charlie asked. The fact is that Harper sometimes spends time in Charlie house with her sister; because of that, the two are almost thought to have come from the same home, if not for the difference in their surname. This difference kills the idea of them being blood sisters among their casual friends.
" Go on, I'm all ears," Harper responded.
"You have decided to stick to Alexander with the belief that he has promised you marriage, and there is no part of a married woman you haven't given him except sex." Charlie spoke while pretending to be folding her wrapper that was in her wardrobe.
" You should have asked me if I had sex with him, rather than trying to beat around the bush," she said.
"Okay, let me hit the nail on the head properly. Have you? " She asked with the expectation that this time around, the wrapper she was folding wasn't held strongly.
"I believe I am no longer a kid. At the same time, although not necessary, you know more about my privacy if not for the strong relationship we both share. Anyway, to break your spanal cord with the shock you are about to hear, I am no longer a virgin. I have given my virginity to him. " She answered, smiling.
" At last, you tested it just like me." Charlie sounded, and they both kept laughing at each other. The fact that Charlie had heard of Rita no longer being a virgin and as friends, they went deeper into a sex discussion where she told Charlie not to let her curiosity about her sex life lead her into imagining that they are already the same because she and Harper only had it once and won't have it again until marriage.
" Whether once or twice, all I know is that you have had sex already and, with your condition, it is advised that you do. This means that, for the fact that you are to give birth as normal and not by operation, it is necessary that you be disvirgin,"Charlie told her.
" Dr. Sam, that is what you are." She makes jokes with her by calling her Dr. Sam and has told her some reasons why she needs sex.
" Before I forget, I have food in the kitchen, one of your favorite foods. And this one is prepared with fried meat. " But Harper sounded fine, except she needed a fresh juice, so Christy went out to get some fruit with her blender and they started making the juice in the kitchen.While preparing the juice, Harper brought up a topic on the Aiden Attitude.
"Has our friend arrived here after we last saw him at school?" Harper inquired as she peels the oranges. She also had beside her a glass of water, which she drank from.
" It seems as if he is hurt by what happened but is all on his own because he had always behaved like a child." Charlie answered.
" What do you expect from a coward? I remember how forcefully he was trying to approach me to express his love for me. I knew he was up to that, but I pretended not to know where he was heading to, just to keep my respect for myself. " She spoke. Charlie looked at her and smiled, after which she told Charlie "You may be the next in line;he will approach and I know you won't say no."
" Hahahahahaha! Charlie laughed and said, " I believe he knows how radical I am. He won't try this with me, not in his lifetime. "
" It will shock you when you realize that he comes with such a motive, which I know will be a great advantage if you accept him, knowing fully that we are already like family." She said
" The last time I checked, Aiden wasn't my closet friend but you, and I got to know him through you.Again, you are the one he wanted and not me. So what chemistry do you think will make him feel that way towards me? Abeg! "Let's continue with what we are doing and allow him there with his shy and cowardly attitude." Charlie sounds mean to her. Harper just paused, looking at her with an eye full of surprise. She knew it would be very difficult for Christy to accept Harper whenever he approached her. She kept smiling.
" Why the smile?" Charlie asked.
"I am just imagining what kind of lady you have built yourself as." She answered her.
Just as I have said, let's focus on the juice making. Aiden is a topic for another day, and as for my attitude, that is who I am. I hate people who are not courageous. If he didn't approach you properly as a friend whom you are, in what manner do you think he will approach me? She asked and forced her to concentrate on making the juice.
"Okay, oh! Harper exclaimed, " Madam Ontop, I appreciate your words and will concentrate on the juice making.
in the Chancellor office
Prof. Jasper office, like the university Chancellor's, had well-decorated and gleaming furniture, among which are a cushion, a cupboard,a table, and chairs where he runs his activities. In addition, things that are found there are the television, fridge, and air conditioner stand. Getting to his office, his mind runs down to the rumors he had heard concerning his son's act of having a student impregnated. He decided to have a talk with him in order to hear his own part of the story.
"How could you try to ruin my reputation within the institution?"You had a lady, not just a lady, but your student was impregnated and yet you couldn't inform your father. What is actually wrong with you? " He asked Alexander, seated right at his front with vestation, what he had done. On the other hand, Alexander tried to calm himself down so as not to run on the same scale of anger as his father, he said. "Yes, I got her impregnated and am proud that I took my responsibility." He answered his father with courage.
" What else do you want me to do after seeing what you have done to mum and how, with your own hand, you ran down your family with a sense of thinking to have me settle down as normal?" He added
Prof. Jasper stood from his chair and approached him face-to-face. " Look boy, what you don't know is more than you. Yes, I had issues with your mother that resulted in our divorce, but not to the point of raising an irresponsible son. " He yelled at him. The word irresponsible made Alexander feel angry that he had to defend himself.
"Father, I know I have flaws, but being irresponsible is not one of them, and I wouldn't mind describing you as such if not for the fact that you are my father," he told him and awaited his response.
Prof. Jasper remained silent for five minutes and he also reduced his yelling after that."Now that you have succeeded in painting my name black and blue, what is your next plan?" Prof. Jasper asked him.
In gentility, Alexander sat down as the same. He had his mind calmed down and drank from the bottle of water that he had bought while coming. "I am in love with her and willing to marry her." He sounded after he had drunk the water.
"Marry, who? Prof. Jasper yelled. " What wrong have I done to you that you want to bring into my home a low-class lady you just met on campus? She might be carrying your baby, but that doesn't qualify her as being your wife. " He paused and held his breath for a while. Do you really know how I planned your marriage, the type of woman you should marry?"He added, smiling, thinking he would use such an impression to grab his son's heart, but had the shock of his life.
" I smile because if being classic could keep a marriage, you should be the first to have a well-admired home, but you couldn't. Youu made use of your position to destroy your home despite your knowledge and exposure.Anyway, I need a wife and not a popuarity, a woman who won't cause me pain or push me into divorce. Besides, my mum is in support of this, and I believe I am well prepared to marry whoever my heart goes for. So father , all I care for, daddy, is a peaceful home. " He responded.
"You mean your mum is highly in support of this and you couldn't tell me? He asked. Alexander laughed and answered him. In the few years I stayed with you before joining mum, you haven't sat me down to give me fatherhood advice; instead, all you care about is drawing a map of yourself as the head of the family while the family is dying. She financed me in the same way that you do, but she was able to instill wisdom in me through her advice. Meanwhile, father, I am not neglecting you or trying to ignore the fact that you are my father, but I found it so difficult to bring up such a discussion before you, because I fully know that nothing less than what you have just said will be what you will say if I had related them all to you." He nodded his head and added.How I wish you would reconcile with mum, most especially now that your grandchildren are about to be born."
" If you had planned to have me support your action or be in part of your marriage, then you are wasting your time," Prof. Jasper spoke.
"Wow! He exlaimed, "That means you want someone else to take your position in my wedding and, in return, receive much blame from those that have supported your evil, because I believe that I have never been a reason for your problem with mum but be one of the major reasons you both need to come together." Alexander said calmly. At this point, his father thought it within himself to support him, but he, as a father, needed to play his own part of character in order to prove to him that he had truly done that which wasn't expected from him.
