"Tell me the truth. You've been hounding me for ages just for this, haven't you?" Karen wore a look that saw right through him; her scoff was dripping with contempt.

Jeffery was at a loss for words, but frustration bottled up inside as he held back.

"Karen, you sure have a way with summaries!" He gave her a thumbs-up as a sarcastic gesture, "Was it not who asked you first to be my girlfriend? And you said no! I never wanted such... such improper affair to maintain between us.” "You even know the word ‘improper, huh?" Karen shot him a piercing glance, checked the time on her phone, and nodded towards the market by the entrance of the community, "You better go shop.” Jeffery's mind could never keep pace with Karen's whims.

"Shop for what?" "Condoms! Or are you planning on making babies?" In silence, Jeffery's lips twisted uncomfortably. He disliked the way she treated their situation as if it was nothing more than a transaction.

Karen just wanted to shake him off and get away from his grasp.

"Still standing there?" Jeffery's lips quivered slightly, his voice involuntarily lowering, "No need to buy. I've got some in the car." "Hmph," Karen snorted, pushing him back a step, "Let's go then. Where to?" "Now? Right now?" "Mr. Turner, I'd appreciate it if you could make it quick. My folks are waiting for me at home." With those words, she strode off ahead, her casual indifference casting Jeffery in the light of a lover seeking validation.
