Annabelle cleaned her glasses after she had been studying biology for two hours. She put on her spectacles again and yawned. She opened her notebook on the last page and wrote;
I have always been alone. It's a long time I've forgotten about love.
The girl sighed and sniffled. She was about to start to sob again when Rick knocked the door and went in her room.
"Hi, pumpkin, what have you been doing?" Her father asked her and touched the second button on his striped navy blue shirt.
"I was studying science, Dad," Annabelle said as she put her blond hair back with her finger. "I'm really tired!"
"Of course you are tired. You study too much," Rick said walking to the center of her room. He was a tall 45-year-old man with brown eyes. "You should have a break and go out with your friends. You look awful, sweetheart."
"Oh, thanks." The girl said ironically glaring at her father. "I know I've always been
awful.
And what friends are you talking about, Dad? I thought you already knew I didn't have any."
"Come on, Annabelle. You can always make friends. You can't keep on being alone in this dark room, you know. I'm really worried about you. I've heard you
crying
a lot lately." Rick sat at her desk chair and gazed at his daughter feeling sorry for her.
"I apologize, father. I thought I could sob silently. We've lived one year by ourselves since Mom passed, and you still don't know everything about me. I told you many times I've always been a loner."
"But you can change. I'm happy that we've tried to talk about everything with an open mind over the past few months. We have no secrets. I know you're a diligent and hard-working girl when school is concerned, but you find it difficult making friends. That's why I'll always encourage you to try to be sociable."
"
Sociable
, that is not Annabelle's last name!" She mumbled sadly. "I'm okay alone, Dad."
"No, you're not, sweetie. That is precisely what I want to talk about. I haven't only listened to you crying. I've also heard you,
hum
, making sounds. I mean, as if you were
touching
yourself."
"Oh, you've heard those too!" The girl blushed. "Tiny stupid apartment with connected walls."
"I think you need someone to love since you're going to be nineteen years old next month," her father pointed out.
"If I can get someone to love me before I turn twenty that will be miracle enough." Annabelle took off her glasses and rubbed her tired brown eyes. Rick stared at her and declared:
"You know, Annabelle. You would look even prettier if you dressed better, if you fixed your hair, and if you took care of yourself."
"Oh, thanks, Dad. When a man teaches us how to be beautiful, we know we've hit rock bottom, since guys are usually pretty sloppy. Anyway, I'm happy enough to be the smartest girl in my classroom. I don't need friends or
boyfriends,"
she pronounced the last word with disdain.
"Yes, you need a boyfriend, Annabelle. I need someone too. I've been lonely just like you. I feel like,
hum
, doing what you did to please myself while I don't find a girlfriend. I'm really desperate, but I've always thought it's wrong touching myself."
"Why is it wrong, Dad? You know it is perfectly natural, and you won't go to hell for doing it."
"I know I won't. But I stick to what my grandpa said once. A man should never waste his seed since it is
holy.
I would just feel dirty if I wasted my seed."
"Oh, boy, You have a strange way of handling this matter, Dad. However. You have a point there. I read semen contains actual nutrients including vitamin C, calcium, magnesium and potassium. There are studies that have shown that semen could act as an antidepressant in women. That's why I get sad sometimes, like I'm
missing
something. I study biology and I'm very concerned about my health. Unfortunately, I don't think I'm finding my charming prince fast."
"Poor Annabelle. I don't like to see you sulk." Rick caressed his daughter's white face. "Anyway, it's curious that I don't want to waste my seed masturbating alone, and you think you should absorb some sperm because of vitamins. I hope we'll get someone for us as soon as we can," declared the man and rose to his feet, but his daughter held his arm.
"Wait, Dad. I've figured out something. You can touch yourself, and then you can give your seminal fluid to me. I'll have what I need while I don't have a man, and you won't waste your sperm while you don't have a woman."
"Oh, no!" Rick exclaimed widening his eyes. "No, no, no,
no.
That wouldn't work out. We're family and can't be involved in weird ideas."
"What the hell are you talking about?" She yelled angrily. "There are no weird ideas, but practical solution. We are close enough, we love each other and we're pretty grown up to do things the right way."
"Oh, I got it. I climax in a recipient and give it to you so you can drink the sperm? I still think it would be really, really odd, sweetie."
"Of course it'd be odd, because the sperm has to come directly from the source to the woman's mouth. What is the matter with you, Dad? Are we mature people here or what?"
"Well, I don't think daughters should see their father's penis. Are you going to close your eyes?"
"Oh,
shit,
Dad, you drive me
crazy!"
Annabelle removed her glasses getting as angry as a volcano. "Think! If I close my eyes, I may
miss
my target. I know men have no control of their sperm direction when they ejaculate."
"Gee, pumpkin, you know a lot for someone who has never had a boyfriend."
"Dad, I didn't ask you to humiliate me. That taboo you mention is merely a convention of society. What is the problem with me seeing your
damn
cock if you're my father?"
"Well, I'm not sure, but what I do know is that you've cursed a lot, Annabelle. That's not nice language for an educated girl like you."
"If you don't want me to swear, so stop pissing me off with your silly comments, daddy," she snapped showing her small teeth."
Rick nodded and sighed, understanding that his daughter was likely experiencing a great deal of turmoil from being alone, which explained her intense anger. He cleared his throat and said:
