Chapter 2

2

Jake is seriously the sweetest guy.

He knew something was up, but he didn't press it. Instead, he held me close and stayed with me.

Lying in his arms, staring at him, I asked, "Jake, if I wasn't a virgin, would you still love me?"

He froze for a second.

Then he touched my nose, "What kind of question is that? My girl wouldn't be messing around like that."

I closed my eyes, saying nothing.

Jake and I haven't gone all the way.

He probably thinks I'm a pure and innocent type.

But he's wrong.

The only reason I haven't hooked up with him is because I'm scared.

Scared of the thousands of little worm eggs wriggling inside me.

If another person touched me, those eggs would release hormones that make me want to reproduce.

So to prevent Jake from being infected, I started giving myself tranquilizer shots before bed every night.

They calmed the babies down, made them a little less rambunctious.

…

Soon, Jake was asleep.

But I couldn't stop turning and tossing.

The eggs were multiplying and growing. The tranquilizers were losing their effect.

I… I have to find some guy to get busy with!

I got up, put on make up and a super sexy dress.

Before leaving, I kissed Jake's cheek.

I'm sorry, Jake.

I'm about to lose my virginity, and do it behind your back.

Please don't be mad, I'm doing this for your own good.

…

I texted Old Man Henderson, the butcher who always gave me extra meat: "Where are you?"

Henderson has a thing for me.

Every time I went to buy pork, he'd weigh out a little extra.

I thought he was nice to everyone.

Until tonight. He had no customers. He grabbed me and tried kissing me.

I freaked.

He scoffed, "What are you acting so innocent for? You walk around all dressed up like this, I figured you wanted to get with me."

I was speechless.

He took it as a yes.

He sent me an address, asked me to meet him at a motel at 10 pm.

…

I opened the motel door and saw Henderson, wearing his boxers, sprawled out on the pink bed.

He jumped up when he saw me, "Baby, you're here! I've been waiting like crazy!"

The eggs inside me got all hyped up, too.

They released hormones that made me want to be in his arms.

"Look who's coming on strong," Henderson grabbed me, his breath reeking of sausage, "Mmm, you smell amazing."

I shut my eyes tight.

I love Jake.

But I was about to do something terrible.

"Damn, those legs," Henderson's greasy paws came closer.

Suddenly there was a sound outside, "Annie! Annie are you in there?!"

My whole body tensed.

Jake was sleeping, wasn't he?

How was he here?!

Panic washed over me.

I didn't have time to think. I pushed Henderson away. "Don't touch me!"

He frowned, "Didn't you take care of your boyfriend?"

He pounced, grinning, "It's okay, let's continue."

"Stop it!"

The cheap wooden door crashed open as Jake kicked it down.

He looked like a beast. He charged at Henderson and punched him right in the face!
