The Bad Boy And The Mermaid

Hunter

“What’s a virgin?”

I started to think of a less explicit way that I could explain to Blue what being a virgin meant. Her large bright blue eyes stared at me in what appeared to be sheer fascination and curiosity. She was waiting for an answer. My word could be law.

“Well, person who has never had sex in their life is usually a virgin.” I explained.

Blue continued to stare at me, and that was making me nervous. “What’s sex?”

I blew out a breath and maybe I was starting to sweat a little. “When a man and a woman go to bed naked...they do things to each other.”

“Bad things?”

I shook my head. “Mostly good.”

“That makes me a virgin, right?” she asked.

“Correct.”

“And you are?”

I faked a cough. I couldn’t lie to her and say that I was a virgin too, it would be unfair to lie to her and I’d never lied to Blue before. She deserved to know the truth. “I’m...not really a virgin.”

“Oh.” She said, and I wished I knew how I could read her mind. “That means you’ve been naked with other women.”

I gave her a nod. “I didn’t know you at that time.” As if that explained anything.

“So you’re a boy and I’m a girl...” she started and I wasn’t ready for what she was about to ask me. “And we go to bed naked, I start kissing you and then you keep touching me and I’m constantly sighing...is that what sex is?”

I smiled. “That’s what it starts with, but the process towards the end is a little complicated than that.”

And now she was lying in bed, her chin resting on her hands. “How complicated?”

I sighed. There was no other way of explaining it. I was doomed to do the sex-ed talk. It reminded me of all those teachers in middle school who did their best to make the children understand. We used to laugh at them at that time, right now, I only sympathized with them

“A man has a penis and a woman has a vagina, during sex a man’s penis goes inside the vagina.”

“And is that how babies are made too?”

“Yes. You’re really smart, Blue.”
