"Third person's POV"
Ace was devastating after hearing Eric's words. He had no hatred towards Eric because he understands how it has been felt for someone who always thought bad about s*x. He was worried thinking that will ever Eric be able to forgive him.
That's when Ace's eyes fell on the familiar face of Eric. His eyes told him how sad and repentant he was. The hesitancy Eric had was visible as he struggled to walk further.
Ace could read how sorry Eric was from each of his facial expressions.
"You are here, son. Come, sit with me. Let's talk?" Ace decided to speak first thus will relieve the burden Eric had.
Eric slowly walked towards Ace and sat beside him.
"I don't know how to start, dad. I'm sorry for being so inconsiderate. I shouldn't have said all those things to you. Today I realized how lucky I'm to have you in my life. Do you think you can forgive me?" Eric sheepishly asked.
"Of course my, son. I forgive you even before you asked. I know how hard it had been for you. The horrible scene will always be stuck in your head like a nightmare. But trust me, son. In order to let go of it, you need to try, okay?" Ace asked. The much care and love he had towards his son were visible in each word he spat.
"But I don't know how to start or where to start. I feel no interest in any girl. I don't know how to get rid of the thoughts I'm having," Eric replied while moving the flats of his hands all across his head.
"You need to figure it out. I believe you will." Ace patted Eric's shoulder.
"And yeah! You are now 27. There are only a few years left. You need to get offspring before you are 35 or else your share will automatically be transferred to an NGO. There's nothing I can do about it. It's a family ritual-like thing."
"I don't know if I will make it, "Eric spoke while his gaze was busily lost towards the calm waters of the swimming pool.
"You will. I know you can, son." Ace hugged Eric.
"But please don't force me into it," Eric requested.
"We are talking for your own good. And since now you have no doubt regarding having s****l relationships, you can see the pictures of girls your mom chose for you," Ace suggested.
"No! No! No! This is too early. I still can't figure out many things. I will go to the farmhouse before you again start the topic." With that Eric ran towards his car.
"But wait, son," Ace asked while laughing at his son's naiveness. He couldn't believe that other men of his age would die to get the girls that were going crazy for Eric while Eric was refusing to even talk with them or even looking at them was equal to a crime for him.
"No! I won't! Tell mom I won't be back tonight. Will spend my night at the farmhouse." Eric got inside of his car and skillfully drove it out of the house.
That's how Eric ignored the topic of girls and marriage. He will go to the farmhouse which Ace gifted him on his 20th birthday.
On his way to the farmhouse, he kept thinking regarding what Ace and Chelly told him about the will. He was afraid that he might not be able to protect the family's inheritance.
Even though Eric was the one who now was handling almost everything relating to the family business, he had the fear of losing the family inheritance. If that happened he won't ever be able to forgive himself.
Ava was still studying and she has 3 more years to graduate.
Lost in thoughts, Eric didn't realize he already reached the destined address. After crossing the main gate, he drove his car through the driveway and parked it in its respective place.
Isaac, the one taking care of the farmhouse came running towards Eric as he spotted Eric near his car.
"Good evening, sir," he politely greeted Eric.
"You can take off and come back tomorrow afternoon. I want some alone time," Eric spoke in a low voice.
Isaac nodded while adding, "as you wish, sir."
With that Isaac obediently left the farmhouse after handing the keys to Eric.
Even though it was a farmhouse, it looked vast in size and luxurious from each of the pieces of furniture it consisted of.
Eric went inside while lazily stomping his feet on the floor.
As he closed the door, suddenly the sound of raindrops conquered his ears. It was soothing at the same time irritating for him as his head was full of thoughts.
He couldn't figure out how to proceed with having a relationship with a girl. He never liked a girl in that way. After thinking of it numerous times in multiple ways, he decided to contact his friend, Mike.
Unlike all the other friends Eric had, Mike understood him better than anyone else and he never judged Eric.
"Hello, buddy. What's up?" Mike greeted Eric in his usual comical tone of voice.
"I need your help. The thing is...," Eric explained everything to Mike on how his psychiatrist told him about s*x and what the decision he had with his parents regarding the will.
"Yo buddy! That's not good. You need to find a girl as soon as possible. I mean a good girl. Not all girls are the same," Mike cautioned Eric.
"Yeah, man! But how to? Before trying on a girl, I need to learn how to perform. I don't know how it actually works like. You do think you can help me with that?" Eric sheepishly said. His cheeks were turning red as he felt immense shyness.
"Hmm... Let me think..."
"Yeah, you can watch porn videos. It will give you many tips," Mike suggested.
"Porn? What's that? Where do I get it?" Eric asked confusedly. His forehead was puckered out of uncertainty.
Mike couldn't believe how naive his friend was. But he decided not to giving up on him neither to laugh. He could understand how terrible Eric must be feeling right now.
"It's easy to find. It is a kind of video in which you can learn many things regarding s*x. Just search porn videos on Google and watch until you think you have learned enough," Mike explained without any hesitancy.
"Okay, man! Thank you!" With that Eric hung the call and hurried to search for the videos.
In actuality, Eric thought that someone will be giving lessons on how s*x works but he was shocked to see people performing on spot. None of them were covered. Not a single piece of clothing was on their bodies.
As far as he could see from the footage, the girl was enjoying it. There was no single sign of pain or discomfort on the girl's face.
"Oh god! What am I watching? They are all naked!" Eric felt disgusted and closed his laptop without turning it off.
That's when a knock came on the main door. It was still raining heavily outside. He wondered who it could be in this stormy rain while edging towards the door.
He twisted the doorknob and opened it only to find a girl standing in front of the door. As his eyes met the girl's, he couldn't take it off. She was the prettiest girl he had ever seen. There was a kind of electric pull which was pulling Eric towards the girl.
In simple words, she looked like an angel. The wavy blonde hair, the crystalline blue orbs of her eyes, the perfect body curves, the plump lips of hers, and many more.
It was sure that Eric felt something special about her. She was different from all the other girls he had met or seen before.
"Can I please come inside? I need shelter from the rain," the girl asked. It's when Eric got out of his thoughts and looked carefully at the girl.
The girl was wet from the heavy rain and it looked like she needed help.
"Yes, please come inside," Eric granted the permission. In actuality, he was feeling shy to be this close to a girl that beautiful.
