KASSY
_
“Kassy, why on earth are you calling me at this time?” my best friend Jenny groans on the other side of the line.
“Jeez, keep your voice down. Jenny, I’m kind of in trouble here,” I whisper.
“Trouble? What trouble?” she asks, letting out a strange sound.
I frown. “What are you doing?”
“Nothing,” Jenny says, but it definitely doesn’t sound like nothing.
I ignore the weird noises coming from her background and try to focus on my own calamity.
“Shawn is here,” I whisper, glancing back at the door to make sure it’s still closed.
“What is your fiancé—who doesn’t even like you—doing in your house at this hour?”
“My father invited him for dinner, and then boom, they told him to stay over because it was late. He’s in my freaking room because my parents think it’ll be a good idea for us to ‘get used to each other’ before marriage.” I groan softly, still whispering.
Jenny bursts into loud laughter.
“Your parents are really something,” she says, still laughing. “Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted, though? You’re so close to the love of your life—go get that dick, bestie.”
“Shut up!” I hiss, swearing under my breath. “I can’t freaking do anything. I’ll mess this up. I have no idea what to do. He can't stand people like me, remember?”
“He’s such an ass, who hates Vrgins…. “
I had no response for that.
“Go give him the best BJ then. Make me proud kassy”
“You know I can’t,” I grit out between my teeth.
“Ahhh—” A moan slips through the phone.
I freeze, eyes widening. “Is a dude inside you right now?” I ask, my voice sharp with disbelief.
Jenny chuckles, though it sounds more like a moan. “Tried to warn you…”
“Oh my god! I thought you were trying to sleep! Oh god!” I hang up immediately, pressing both palms against my burning face.
Jesus Christ!
I sigh and stare at my reflection in the bathroom mirror. God, how pathetic can I get? Hiding in the bathroom like this.
Jenny’s right. This is what I’ve always wanted. I’ve loved Shawn quietly for years. I’ve dreamed about him holding me, kissing me, making love to me… fucking me on the hood of his car.
When the arranged marriage came up, I begged my father to make it happen.
And now we’re engaged.
But there’s still one huge problem: experience.
My virginity used to be my pride, something I wanted to give my husband with honor. But then I overheard Shawn talking about how he detests virgins and inexperienced girls. He even joked about how one bit his dick and landed him in the hospital.
That’s when I knew it was over for me. Not only am I a virgin, I’m terrible at anything sensual. The last time I kissed a guy, he broke up with me the very next day.
Even if I decide to hide the virginity part, what about my freaking inexperience? he can't know that… I can't mess up our first time.
I sigh again, tying my long black hair up into a ponytail.
I always thought sex would be something I’d learn with my husband.
Now it's a different story…
I can’t risk screwing this up. I don’t want to be that woman he sleeps with once and then avoids forever. I want my marriage to succeed.
Maybe I’m just overreacting.
I splash water on my face, take a deep breath, and step out of the bathroom.
Oh god….
The sight in front of me made me wish I had stayed hidden forever.
I stop dead in my tracks, mouth and eyes wide open.
Shawn is sitting on the couch in my room, eyes half-lidded, lips parted, stroking his dick.
His dick.
My knees go weak.
Oh my god. It’s big.
My face instantly burns.
I shut my eyes and whirl around, my heart pounding so fast I can barely breathe.
This can’t be happening.
“What are you doing?” I manage to ask, my voice trembling.
“What does it look like?” Shawn says breathlessly. “I was watching something, got too excited. Wanna help?”
“What? No!” I almost scream, clutching my chest as my heartbeat goes wild.
I should run.
I should hide.
But then I feel his breath behind me, warm and heavy.
Oh my god.
My skin tingles and burns at the same time
“What are you being so shy for? Are you a virgin or something?”
Panic flares instantly. I spin around to face him.
“I’m not!” I blurt out, almost shouting.
Shawn steps back, confusion flickering across his face.
My heart is hammering so hard I can’t think straight.
“You’re so weird,” he mutters.
Say something, I beg my brain. Anything.
“I just… uh, I feel like it’s inappropriate to do it right now,” I stammer.
“What are you talking about? We’re getting married soon. What’s the big deal? It’s just sex”
“Exactly,” I say, forcing confidence into my tone.
Slowly, I walk toward him, praying my knees don’t buckle.
You’ve watched enough p**n, Kassy. Don’t embarrass yourself now, I scold myself silently.
Standing in front of him, I force myself to look down at his hard length, resisting the urge to bolt under the bed.
His half-lidded eyes stay fixed on my face.
I raise my trembling hand, run it over his chest, and pray he doesn’t notice how badly I’m shaking.
Holding my breath, I let my hand trail down and wrap around his dick, stroking carefully, terrified of scratching him with my nails.
I feel faint.
“I’m the last person on earth you’d want to call a virgin, honey,” I murmur, praying he doesn’t see through me.
I move past him, stepping behind, still shaking so badly I can barely stand.
“I’d love to give you the best licking and sucking of your life, but I wouldn’t want my parents hearing your screams, Shawn,” I whisper.
“Sure it’s my scream you’re worried about?” Shawn asks, still facing away from me.
“Is that a challenge, Mr. Rhode?”
He turns to face me. I immediately tuck my shaky hands behind my back.
I force a smirk, hoping it looks real and not like I’m seconds away from crying, like I really feel like doing right now…
Shawn hums. “Trying to act tough, huh? I know you’ve wanted my dick for years. You really gonna turn it down the moment you can finally get a taste?”
I keep my face straight. “What’s the rush, when I’m gonna have it forever?”
“Forever, huh? That’s a big promise I’m not sure I can keep, Kassy. I heard your little speech about making me fall madly in love with you. Wanna hear my opinion?”
He steps closer, leaning down until his breath tickles my ear. “I’d like to see you try.”
I'm gonna die
Then he pulls back, smirking. “Buckle up, sweetie. It’s not gonna be an easy ride.”
My knees nearly give out.
“For this—” he gestures at his dick—“I’ll take care of it somewhere else.”
My heart shatters, but deep down, I already knew about his playboy lifestyle.
He slips his shorts and trousers back on, cool as ever.
“Tell my mother and father-in-law I couldn’t stay long. Not like I was planning to. My friend’s celebrating her birthday tonight. See you later, fiancée.”
He walks to the door, opens it, and leaves without a glance back.
My legs wobble so badly I nearly fall flat on my face. Catching myself, I stumble back onto my ass.
“Fuck…”
Kassy“Where are you going?” Derrick asked, and he had the audacity to look confused.I stared at him like he had lost his mind.“Back to my husband,” I snapped. “You know, because I’m married.” My voice shook, anger and panic mixing together. “What do you even mean you want us to be together? You want me to go and divorce him? This is insane. I’m insane for even being here with you, and you’re insane for saying that to me.”The words came out sharp and bitter but I didn’t take them back.I sighed, running my hand through my hair.We were still in the car. Still in the mess we had created just minutes ago. My body was tired, my heart even more exhausted.“You’re insane,” I said again, my voice quieter this time as I reached for my clothes. “I don’t even know why I keep ending up in this position with you.”I pulled my dress back on with shaky hands and pushed the car door open.Before I could step out, Derrick rushed forward and slammed the door shut.The sound echoed inside the car.
KassyI almost dropped the piece of paper on the ground.My fingers trembled as I unfolded it, my heart slamming so hard against my chest it felt painful, like it wanted out. The words blurred for a second, then came into focus.Come outside….Left wing….I need to see you. —DerrickDerrick is here?My pulse roared in my ears.How is Derrick here?My mind scrambled, thoughts colliding into each other. Shawn glanced at me, concern flickering across his face. “Are you okay?” he asked softly, his hand brushing my arm.I had no idea what he saw on my face, but it must have been something alarming for him to show concern.I nodded quickly. “I’m fine,” I said, forcing a smile that felt stiff and foreign on my lips.The lie slid out easily. Too easily.“I… I need some fresh air,” I added, already pushing my chair back.“Okay,” Shawn said“I’ll be right back,” I turned and walked away before he could say anything else, my heels clicking against the floor far too loudly.What am I even doing?
“I can’t believe you’re carrying this out, this is madness,” Jenny says.I ignore her and keep staring at myself in the mirror.The boutique is quiet, soft music playing in the background, fabric everywhere. Bridal fittings. White, lace, silk. All things that are supposed to mean joy. I’m standing on a small platform, the dress hugging me perfectly, the mirror reflecting a version of me that looks calm, composed… happy.I look beautiful.And that somehow makes everything hurt more.“Kassy,” Jenny calls again, her voice softer now, like she’s afraid I’ll break if she pushes too hard.“Let it be, Jenny. Seriously,” I say, still not looking away from my reflection. “I need him to protect my child, and he needs me for his company. Win-win.”Saying it out loud makes it sound logical and clean….Like a business deal.Jenny shakes her head slowly, disbelief written all over her face. Then she looks at me through the mirror, really looks at me, like she’s trying to see something I’m hiding.I
Sitting across from Shawn like this felt familiar and strange at the same time.Familiar because I’ve sat across from him so many times over the years, watching his face, memorizing his moods, waiting for scraps of attention he never really meant to give. Strange because today I'm not trying to impress him…. I'm not trying to please him…. I'm not even a little bit scared of losing him.I want to tell him everything. And surprisingly, I'm not afraid to. I'm not afraid of his reaction, not afraid if he wants to call off the wedding. Maybe…Maybe that's what I really want. Maybe if the cancellation came from him, my parents’ anger would fall lighter on me. Maybe I just didn’t have the strength to be the villain in their story.Or maybe I just didn’t care anymore.Shawn wanted this marriage because of what was at stake for him. His father had too many children, too many potential heirs. Love wasn’t part of the equation. This marriage would secure his position, solidify his future in the
“This is fucking messed up.”I said nothing. I just stared out the café window like something out there might suddenly make sense. People passed by, laughing, talking, living their lives like the world hadn’t just cracked open for me.I was pregnant.I was actually, truly pregnant.The words didn’t even feel real in my head. They floated there, distant and heavy at the same time.I felt numb.Completely numb.What am I supposed to do now?A tear slipped down my face before I even realized I was crying.Jenny, for the first time since this nightmare started, had no words. She just sat there staring at me like she was afraid I might disappear if she blinked.I watched people walking in and out of the café. Some of them looked happy. Or maybe they were just pretending to be happy, the same way I’d been pretending for weeks now.I looked down at my hands. The crying I did earlier in my room before Jenny practically dragged me out wasn’t enough. It didn’t even scratch the surface. I wanted
KASSY“I think the honeymoon should be somewhere far,” my mom says, her voice soft but excited.I nod, pretending to listen, pretending to care. “Yeah, far sounds nice.”But I’m barely hearing her. My mind drifts in and out, floating somewhere between exhaustion and that constant ache I can’t seem to get rid of. The house feels smaller these days, like the walls are closing in slowly, inch by inch.My mother continues talking, going on about beaches and destinations, Greece, Paris, Dubai and all I can think about is how heavy my body feels. How heavy everything feels.“Honey, are you sure you’re okay?” she finally asks, breaking through the fog in my head.“I’m fine, Mom,” I mumble automatically, forcing a smile that doesn’t reach my eyes.She narrows her gaze like she doesn’t believe a word I just said, which….honestly—she shouldn’t.But I couldn't do this right now. I can’t sit here and talk about honeymoons or dream weddings when I can barely keep myself from falling apart.“I have
