Chapter 2

A few weeks later Tina accompanied Eric to the soccer training to watch the boys in action. Eric called his mate Harry.

Eric: Hey, come and meet my girlfriend!

Harry: So this is your hottie huh, cool to finally meet you. You’re just as beautiful as my girl.

Tina frowned. Cool? As if I’m one of them… after an awkward moment she finally said it was nice to meet him too.

Eric: Alright, time to burn some energy

Harry: Save some energy for your girlfriend later..

Eric: Yeah…

Eric strolled away and Tina thought about that statement. Why does it always have to be about sex? Eric and I are together for 7 months and we haven’t had sex yet. Is Eric frustrated? Does he want to go further? Does that mean I have to let the walls I built around me down?

My parents always told me I have to wait for the right person to give them this part of me, all of me. It has to be right and you have to trust your partner. Do I not trust Eric?

Of course I do, but I just don’t feel like having sex with him or with any guy. Oh my god! Am I insane? What girl doesn’t want to have sex with the guy she has a relationship with? Almost all my friends have done it already… should I just do it? Is it safe? Yes, of course it is, I’ve been using the pill for almost a year now… which doesn’t mean I can jump into bed the moment I have the chance to do it according to my parents. And surely, Eric has some condoms at home…

Tina shivered at the thought and decided to wait a bit longer..

After an hour of pondering, Eric called her name.

Eric: Tina? Where were you? I played good, right?

Tina: Oh, I’m sorry, I was thinking… yeah, you played good, keep this up!

She actually felt guilty for not watching her boyfriend and stood up to give him a deep kiss.

Harry: Guys, save it for later alright… I’m off. I need to burn some extra energy you know (smirking)

Eric smirked and said: Yeah go… Oh and don’t forget to ask her about a possible date to go out together okay?
