Part 3
The next week was the most exhilarating and stressful time of my life. Unfortunately, Mum and Dad decided to hole up at home every day, so the only time Charley and I could continue our secret affair was late at night, after they'd gone to sleep. Three times, we'd quietly gone at it under the covers, hands over each other's mouths and wincing every time the bed creaked or our bare skin slapped together.
That was why I'd been eagerly anticipating today. It was Saturday, and Mum and Dad had told us they were off to a doctor's appointment for something or other. I had kind of stopped listening as soon as I'd got the news that they'd be out of the house.
I did feel a little guilty about dismissing it though, so in the morning I headed down to see them off before they left. I caught them as they were just about to leave, putting on their shoes.
"So, you guys never told me what this appointment is for. It's nothing serious, right?"
"It's fine," my dad said curtly. "Just a consultation."
My stepmum smiled and leaned over to me.
"He's going to get a vasectomy,"
she stage whispered.
Dad shot her a look, and I wrinkled my nose in disgust. "Ugh, come on Mum. He was right, I didn't need to know that."
"My mistake," Mum laughed. "Should have known the men in this household weren't mature enough to talk about something like this."
"Sure, sure," I replied. "But in all seriousness, aren't you guys a bit past the age where this kind of thing is necessary?"
Now it was my stepmum's turn to shoot
me
a look. "Hey! We're both still young, we're just in our forties! And believe me, you and Charley have been enough of a bother, we don't need to risk getting pregnant with a third."
I froze, though not really because of what she'd actually been talking about. But there were two words in there that sent a shock through my body.
Pregnant
and
Charley.
Suddenly, all the times I had cum inside her flashed in my mind -- slowly pulling out of her snatch, watching as my seed dripped out, running down her legs. Possibly the hottest thing a guy can ever see. And now, I was realizing, the most irresponsible.
Shit.
How had I never considered this? I'd just been so caught up in the consequences of what would happen if people found out that I hadn't even thought about the possibility of this happening.
Charley pregnant. Oh, fuck.
That would not be good. Not good at all. It would be pretty fucking hard to hide the fact that Charley was sleeping with someone if she literally had a baby bump. And that's not even thinking about the actual
baby.
I
seriously
doubted that it would fit into Charley's plan.
I must have been silent for a little too long, because my Dad noticed. "What's wrong?" He suddenly frowned. "I very much hope you're being smart about your
own
private life. You must always use protection. You're far too young to be in a situation like that, you have your studies!"
"Oh, yep," I squeaked. "Protection, of course I do. Nothing to worry about." I slowly backed up towards the stairs. "Um... hope everything goes well with your... testicles, or tubes or whatever they do!"
Hoping they'd just brush off how weird I was being, I turned and scampered up the stairs to Charley's room, breathing heavily. Once I heard the front door close, I relaxed.
Okay, Luke, calm down. You just need to talk to her like an adult. It's only been two weeks since the first time, it's definitely fine.
I opened the door to find her at her desk, working at her laptop. When she heard me come in, she quickly glanced up but carried on working. "Hey. Was that Mum and Dad leaving?"
"Oh... yeah." I had no idea how to bring up what I was worried about.
She smirked, still focused on the screen. "They tell you about the vasectomy? Crazy, right?"
"Uh-huh." I took a deep breath. "Actually... I wanted to talk to you about that."
She made a face. "Ew. You want to talk about how Dad's getting his tubes tied?"
"No, I... want to talk about you. And me."
"
You
want to get your tubes tied?" she giggled.
I sighed, exasperated. "No Charley, for god's sake." I decided to just spit it out. "I mean... we've never used a condom or anything. Is there a chance we... might end up with you pregnant?"
"What? Of course not," she scoffed. "I'm on the pill, and I can take a test every once in a while to be safe. We're good."
I suddenly felt like a complete idiot. This was Charley we're talking about -- she was never going to be dumb enough to overlook something of this magnitude. I flopped down on her bed. "Ok.
Phew.
Not gonna lie, I was kind of shitting myself for a moment."
My relief must have seemed a bit over the top, because she burst out laughing. "Jesus, Luke. Do you not normally think about this? Do I just have a bunch of step nieces and nephews running around out there somewhere?"
Highly unlikely, given that she was the only person I had ever slept with. "Yeah... don't think we have to worry about that."
She must have caught something in my voice, because she finally stopped writing and turned to face me, with a slight look of concern. "Wait. Are you a virgin?"
I frowned. "Did you hit your head?"
She rolled her eyes. "
Were
a virgin. I mean before me."
There didn't really seem to be any reason to hide it anymore, given everything that we'd done now. I shrugged. "Yes, I was."
"Oh my god," she groaned, resting her head in her hands. "I deflowered my little brother."
I snickered. "Yeah. You're despicable."
"I... I don't understand," she said. "You're at university. You're cute, you're fun to hang out with... how did it never happen?"
"Well, I got close a few times," I replied. "One time I was with a girl and just as we were about to, she told me she had a boyfriend. Another time, I was super drunk and couldn't... get it up. It just never ended up happening."
