Finding my voice

Virginity ends in just one Night

Eva's eyes widened as she read the text message from Lucky. She couldn't believe the words that were staring back at her. "A piece of s**t"? "Premature carrot"? Was she premature to him?What did he even mean by that? She felt a wave of anger and humiliation wash over her, but she tried to calm herself down.She reminded herself that Lucky is too irresponsible for her to cry over. Although she was hurt badly by his words she didn't want to give him the satisfaction of getting under her skin.

So she simply blocked his line without responding, she didn't want to exchange any of her important words on him. he was just a waste of time. What a bad day!

She remembered the first day she met him, She was coming back from the market that day, and he kept on following her,she was excited at first, but on a second thought the excitement washed away as she began to imagine him a deceiver but she crossed her mind and tried to remove that thought from her mind.

"Hello, beautiful girl" Lucky stopped her

"Hi" she shyly responded

"My name is Lucky, can I know yours?"

"I'm Eva."

"What a lovely name,just like you, please Eva if you don't mind can I get your contact?"

Eva hesitated for a moment but on a second thought looking how handsome and neat Lucky was, she decided to.

Ever since she gave Lucky her contact, She began to feel somehow loved, the Guy was funny,lovely but one thing she noticed was his stinginess,or was it because it was her? Her mom always told her and her siblings, "Any guy that is not ready to spend on you but calls you his girlfriend,or claims that he loves you,is definitely spending that money on someone else". But anytime such thoughts came into her mind,she usually waves it out accusing herself of overthinking. She thought back to all the times they had spent together, all the laughter and conversations they had shared. She had genuinely thought that he was a nice guy, someone who was interested in her, someone she would call her man and depend on him and tell him her secrets. But now, it seemed like it was all just a facade.

Eva's mind began to wander to all the times he had asked her for s*x, and how she had politely declined. She recalled vividly when she complained about lack of trust in the relationship then he would say that only s*x could bind them together. She remembered how he told her and always tried to convince her that only s*x would make their relationship stronger, sometimes she felt like she was falling for it but she still had doubts on how s*x would bind them together,then she began to notice changes in him. He no longer responded to her like before, she began to feel that she was the one forcing the relationship. Anytime they had a good talk together he always uses that topic she dreads the most to spoil the mood.

She realized now that he had only been interested in her for one thing, and that was to satisfy his own desires. She felt a shiver run down her spine as she thought about how close she had come to giving in to his demands.

She looked around her room, feeling a sense of relief that she was alone. She didn't want to talk to anyone right now, not even Natasha or Alexa. She just wanted to process her emotions and try to make sense of what had just happened.

As she sat there, trying to calm herself down, Eva's phone buzzed again. It was another text message from Lucky but this time from a different phone number."Did you just block my line? Pathetic fool, Just wanted to tell you that Natasha is way better than you and who even told you that you are my spec? "

Eva felt a pang of sadness, but it was quickly replaced by anger. How dare he? She thought to herself. She was the one who had been wronged, not him. She was the one who had been deceived and manipulated. How dare he chat her again? She couldn't control herself anymore especially when he mentioned Natasha, She picked up her phone and replied him. " And who told you that I was into you before? oh you thought I would fall for your tricks? I'm so sorry but you hit the wrong girl. And speaking of Natasha my best friend, you have no right to involve her in any of my business because you are a homewrecker, A heartless deceiver" and boom she blocked the line after sending the reply. And that was the end

With a newfound sense of determination, Eva picked up her phone and said loudly "Good riddance,I'm better off without you anyway." after all life was moving smoothly without him in her life so why would he rob her of that? she wouldn't let that happen.

Eva felt a weight lift off her shoulders. She was done with Lucky, and she was done with the drama and stress that he had brought into her life. She was ready to move on, to focus on herself and her own happiness.

And as she looked around her room, Eva realized that she was exactly where she was meant to be. She was safe, she was alone, and she was free. Free from the toxic relationship, free from the drama, and free to be herself.

With a sense of peace and closure, Eva smiled to herself. She knew that she would be okay, that she would get through this and come out stronger on the other side. And as she drifted off to sleep, she knew that tomorrow would be a new day, a fresh start, and a chance to begin again.

*Next day*

(at School)

Eva was so burdened with what happened and the only way she knew she could wave it off was relating it with someone and it was only Natasha they she felt free to discuss such issues with.

But when Eva spilled her mind to her bestie, She was shocked by Natasha's response.

"How could you waste such an opportunity?" Natasha said

"What do you mean?"

" Eva,this is such a rare opportunity for you and you shouldn't let it slip through your fingers "

" I don't understand what you mean by rare opportunity. Giving him my virginity just for the sake to maintain a status as his girlfriend?.What exactly is he doing for me?"

" Eva, your problem is that you still reason like a child. For crying out loud, virginity ends in just one night! Nowadays, men don't even value it. Why don't you want to look like your fellow mates? you're just so odd!"

" Natasha, are you still a virgin?"

" why do you ask?'

"I'm just confused,the way you sound"

"Well that question has no answer, even if I'm not,does it matter?"

Eva began to have second thoughts, After all, it all ends in one Night.
