Genesis

Too young to quit

It's been exactly seven days since I became Coop's fiancé, and since I gave up my virginity. To be honest, I don't regret it at all, Coop has been a real gentleman about it. Though it's an everyday thing, he let's me rest and runs me baths after each encounter.

Our parents had dinner without us to discuss the wedding, and the whole living situation. They have all reached a mutual agreement and everything should get going soon. We've received the blessing to stay together, and my parents are happy about the online distant learning. Maybe it's because I've been a good girl in my life, but God has really showed up for me this year, I'm giving him thanks.

Coop has been asking me to change the design of the apartment, but he keeps saying that it's only temporary. I'm not sure if he's planning for us to move to a bigger place, or if he's just playing. I can't really put pink into the apartment, I'm living with a man (I never thought I would say that). He's been in and out of the house since the proposal, he's probably making plans for the wedding.

"Babe, the boys want us to go and watch the game tonight"

"That's nice, have fun with the boys love"

"Excuse me? Why wouldn't you be there with me?"

"But babe, I don't want to impose"

He gets on his knees next to the couch, and grabs my hands.

"I want you to listen to me. I proposed to you because I want to live this life with you. Also, I took time to understand what marriage really means and how it works. It's really not about authority and roles, it's about building a family from scratch and making sure that we make it together. So, with that being said, you will go everywhere with me, and I will go everywhere with you. Agreed?"

"Even to the beauty parlor?"

"I can't wait to watch you getting pampered baby"

"Oh baby, okay, I can't say no to you, my handsome man"

"So, what do you say? Give me a kiss"

He hugs me deeply and gives me a long kiss. It's settled, we're going to the game.

"The guys don't make you feel uncomfortable right? I want you to wear whatever you like, let me know if anyone tries to make an advance on you"

"I'll never leave your sight babe, so no one would try any of that"

"Okay baby, I trust you"

I learn so much from Coop, he really seems to know more than I do about being an adult. I can just see him being a father, he might not even let me breastfeed!

"Coop"

"Oh no, you're calling me by my name, what's wrong honey?"

"Oh babe, please bear with me, I'll get used to it. I want to ask you something"

"Sure, go ahead"

"We didn't use protection, we haven't used it at all. I was a virgin and I am not on any contraceptives. What do you have in mind?"

"Oh, I was afraid you would bring that up. I'm hoping to get you pregnant, what am I waiting for?"

My jaw dropped. I'm going to be a mother at a young age. Somebody pinch me?

"What?"

"You're going to be my wife soon babe. I don't see why we should wait for anything. You won't need to go to campus, you'll always be home, should you get pregnant. I'll be here for you, and you can have any type of birth that you want. Are you happy with that?"

I thought couples discuss these things, I've read blogs about couples testing together. None of that happened with us, should I be scared?

"Were you a virgin when you broke mine?"

"You really want to know?"

"I'm soon to be your wife, I think I should know"

"My wife is already so feisty, I love that!

Yes babe, I was a virgin when I broke yours. I was so good at it because I taught myself how to masturbate when we were 15, so that I don't rush into having s*x. I watched porn, read a lot and studied my man parts to know them better"

"I didn't expect to hear that, you've really never done it before? Wow"

"I'll never lie to you. I saved myself for you"

"So, what about getting tested and all?"

"Do virgins need to do that? I don't think so.."

The topic is dropped, he asked me if I want a drink and we didn't continue on it. Drinking champagne on the balcony feels so smooth, the view up here is amazing. My phone is ringing, it's Julie.

"Hey sweetie, how are you feeling? Are you still in the hospital?"

"No, I'm back home"

"That's great news, is the baby fine?"

"Yes"

"Cool. What's up?"

"You weren't going to tell me that you're engaged?"

"I didn't want to overwhelm you while you were in hospital, I really didn't want to stress you"

"Really? Marc knows, his friend told him"

"Julie -"

"Adelaide, I can see that I'm not important to you. We can just end this friendship. Have a nice life with your future husband"

She hung up. That was a really odd phone call, she actually sounds really jealous. How could she even speak like that? Okay, I'm not going to fixate my mind on this, I don't have time for negative energy. I don't mind losing people at this point, I'm at the happiest point of my life. I'm not even going to tell Coop, I won't even block her.

"Hey babe, are you fine? Who were you talking to on the phone?"

"Julie"

"Is she fine?"

"I don't know, she seems to be really upset about my life"

"No, what did she say?"

"She's angry that Marc was told about the engagement and she wasn't. I tried to explain and she felt that she should end the friendship"

"Babe, she's pregnant. Maybe her hormones are driving her crazy already"

"Really Coop? You're on her side?"

"I'm not babe, but you two can't just give up like that"

"Are you even listening to me?"

"I am babe, try and talk things out with her"

"Why? You know what, forget it."

I stand up and walk back inside, I'm boiling under. He's taking her side? Fix things? Did he even hear her?

"Babe, you didn't need to just storm off like that, here, you left your drink"

"I don't want it"

"Yes, you do. Get in the vibe babe, don't think about it too much. You're with me, why are you worrying?"

"You're siding with someone else"

"No, I'm not. I was trying to instill peace, and it's clearly not a good idea right now"

"Instill peace, nice"

"Babe stop. Please look at me? I don't want to see you upset, ever. Please smile for me? Forget Julie, she'll correct her mistakes when she's ready. For now, please come back to our life?"

"Fine"

"Good, kiss me, my beautiful wife"

Coop really knows how to calm me down, I was about to sulk over nothing.

We're using a normal car (according to Coop) to go to the game. A normal car is a Mercedes Benz, a black one. I'm wearing a black Nike hoodie, black bodycon short tights and black thigh-high suede heel boots (Coop made me wear them). My ass is sticking out and I look like Beyoncé on her way to a rehearsal, I look really good though.

We get to the stadium and park at the VIP base and head to our seats. I have to rush to the bathroom so Coop goes to the boys. I'm actually nervous, but I look in the mirror and put on a brave face. As I'm approaching the group, my heart is beating fast. The game hasn't started so everyone is just in groups and chatting. Everyone looks at me and they go silent. This time, I'm the only female in the group. Coop grabs me and hugs me, I think this is how the territory is marked.

"Hey boys"

"Yeah no, we need to up our game"

"Hey Princess Bride"

"Our boy really looks happy, and we see why"

"I'm also getting married this year, I need to be so content"

"Oh my God guys, I am just greeting!"

"Good evening Ma'am"

The boys are really silly, and they're now suddenly protective over me. We're in the front row I'm seated in between Coop and Jake, the colognes smell like a men's spa room, wow!

"Are you fine baby? You look amazing, by the way"

"I'm fine baby, thank you. Are you fine?"

"I'm fine if you are, I can see my boys are drooling over you"

"Haha well, you should be happy because I'm yours and all they can do is look and drool, nothing else"

"Look at you, and yes you're right, you're mine sweet thing"

The basketball game isn't too bad, the team that the boys support won so that means we're headed to the club afterwards. We all get into our cars and follow each other to another nice club that I've never been to.

"I'd like to go to the bathroom babe, are you coming with me?"

"This club is one of the safest, you'll be fine alone if you don't need me to come"

"Okay, let me go"

The bathroom is really classy, gold and white in colors. The girls I see in there are dressed casually like myself, not too much competition. They're all wearing too much make-up though, I am not on that stage of my life yet, I'm still fine with tinting my eyebrows and lipgloss, and straightening my hair whenever I want.

"That's Coop's fiancé"

"You're lying, it can't be her"

"That's her, I have him on i********:. If she's here, he's got to be here too"

"You still have a crush on him?"

"Yes, have you seen him? I need to get him just once, before he gets married"

"What the f**k, don't do such things"

"Why not?"

"She'll hear you, let's get out of here"

Wow, I just couldn't pee in peace. Also, why do I suddenly need to pee so much? I can't believe someone is after Coop, it's a pity I don't know which one it is.

I fix myself and go to the VIP lounge. Great, there are three girls laughing and chatting with Coop and the boys. It must be the girls from the bathroom. Coop sees me approaching and comes straight to me. He doesn't even report anything to the new members of the group.

"Hi babe, you were gone for so long"

"It was just 5 minutes babe"

"That's too long. Can you believe those girls are groupies? One of them is already asking me to follow her back on i********:"

"Maybe you should, I heard them talking in the bathroom"

"What did they say?"

"Oh my God, you're such a big gossip"

"Yes of course, what's a relationship if you can't gossip together? Come on"

"Well, one of them told her friend that she has you on i********:, she's aware that you'll be getting married soon, and she needs one shot with you before you tie the knot"

Coop laughs. He laughs so hard that the boys and the groupies turn our way to see what's happening.

"Wow, forgive me for laughing, what did you just say?"

"I'm serious, let's go"

"I'm going to laugh the whole time, I can't believe one of them thinks I would agree to that"

"This is a man's world, and it's nothing without a woman to make it better"

"My woman made mine better"

Coop picks me up, puts my legs around his waist and kisses me uncontrollably. He really wants to send these groupies a message, I think it's loud and clear now.

"Hey lovebird, you're looking great tonight"

Jake hugs me and insists that I sit next to him.

"Your man can't sit still in a club, I think you saw that on the night of your engagement"

"I did, I think he just loves having fun"

"He's our go-to guy when we want to turn up, he really knows how to get us in a mood"

"We are in the mood all right"

"Do you want something to drink?"

"I'll have champagne, I'm not ready to try any other alcohol for now"

"Let me go get a bottle for you, stay put"

I take out my phone and check on my mom. She says everyone is fine and all the new trucks have arrived. I'll call her tomorrow to hear more about it. I'm starting to think that Coop has assigned Jake to guard me, he's always next to me in everything that we do together. I don't mind, I just hope that Jake isn't covering for Coop, so that Coop can snoop around.

The groupies are trying too hard with the boys, even the conversation is dry. They get drunk quickly and they keep throwing themselves on the boys. The boys really know what they want because they aren't entertaining them AT ALL.

"We're back"

"Where's Coop?"

"He was right behind me, oh here he is, with your champagne"

Coop kisses me and pours me a glass. He gets back to his party mood. I'm not planning on being a stuck-up fiancé, one to decide what my man should and shouldn't do. I want him to enjoy his life, even when he's with me.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, are you?"

"Yes, let's dance"

The night doesn't go by fast, I'm on my second bottle and I'm not feeling tipsy yet. It must be the s*x that has changed me, I'm a big girl now. Coop and the boys are wilding, the groupies are still here and starting to get the message.

Something funny happens, I'm not sure how to react. While dancing, Jake dances behind me and holds my lower abdomen for a few moments. I quickly turn around and ask him what he's doing, he says we're just dancing. Coop didn't see, and thank God for that. We continue dancing, I think Jake likes me or is testing me. It's got to be one of them.

The night is over, finally. We say our goodbyes and get into the cars. Jake gives me a really emotional hug, and kisses me on the cheek. Coop doesn't see this, again. I am going to keep quiet about all of this, but I'll get into trouble if I don't say anything and he finds out. I could ask questions, yes, that could work.

"Enjoyed yourself babe?"

"I did babe, I'm not even drunk tonight, I feel great"

"I like that. Did Jake take good care of you?"

I get scared. Is this a scam?

"Of course he did, he cares about me as much as you do"

"Good, he's my best friend. If anything happens to you, I'm much to blame as he is"

"His hands are pretty busy though"

"What do you mean babe?"

"Well, he touched me in a weird way in the club, or maybe he was just in a vibe"

"Really? I didn't notice, he was maybe just happy huh?"

"Maybe"

"Did he try anything else?"

"No, nothing at all"

"Jake is my friend, I don't think he would betray me like that. In fact, I don't think you would ever do that to me"

"I hate being touched as it is, you're lucky because I'm getting married to you"

"Haha very funny baby"

"It was a great night though"

"I'm really hard, I tried to hold it in the club but seeing you dance just got my emotions dancing down there"

"You want to stop the car?

He stopped the car. He got out and got in the back, I just took off my tights and left my boots on, then jumped to the back. We've never done it in the car, I felt like such a wild girl. The way he held me, the way he kissed me. He was still a gentleman, even when we weren't in our bed.

"How are you feeling babe?"

"Don't stop"

When he whispers in my ear, it just sends my flying. I think my first experiences are always going to be favorite, it's better and delicious every time!

When we're done, we kiss and smile at each other. Coop keeps a smile on his face the whole way home, I have a feeling that it's going to be a beautiful night.

We both pass out when we get home, it really has been a long night. Coop tossed and turned all night, something must be bothering him.

It's morning and Coop isn't in bed, he probably went for a jog. I take a shower and get into my red lingerie, with its lace gown with fluffy edges. I go and have a glass of juice on the balcony, I have no idea where Coop is. I check my phone and see a text from Julie, I won't even bother to open it, she pushed it too far and I won't entertain her anymore.

An hour passes and Coop still isn't back, I've even cleaned the house and threw in some laundry into the washing machine. I should maybe make some breakfast, he'll be hungry when he gets back from wherever he went. Just as I am bending over at the fridge, the door unlocks and it's Coop, with other people!!

"Oh, look how sexy you are, my beautiful bride. Have you been awake for long?"

"It's been an hour babe, I was about to make you breakfast. Why didn't you tell me that you're coming with people? I feel so embarrassed"

"Don't be silly, you look so sexy. Flaunt that lingerie body for me baby. I missed you so much!"

He picks me up (it's a routine) and kisses me. After he puts me down, he slaps my bum gently and squeezes it.

"After this little meeting, we're going into the bedroom to get dressed for breakfast and I'm going to give you the best strokes of your life"

I love it when Coop whispers in my ear, he just makes my blood hot.

"So are you okay? You didn't really sleep last night"

"I'm so eager for us to get married already, I feel like it's taking too long for it to happen"

"Is that what kept you up?"

"No. I walked in on you throwing up, I'm worried about you and you didn't say anything to me"

"Oh Coop, I've been feeling a bit off for three days now, I must have eaten something"

"We'll go to the doctor today, it might be food poisoning. How are you feeling now?"

"How do you think I feel?"

I do a little twirl for him, and I don't realize that our visitors are walking in through the door.

"I'd like to have breakfast here everyday"

"I'm bringing my girl here for some lessons, damn Coop"

"Okay Mrs Grande, please, mesmerize us"

"Fellas, please, Mrs Grande is shy, respect my wife!"

"Oh sure, we respect her, she can't be shy when she looks like that in the morning"

Jake can't stop looking at me, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be comfortable with my dress code around them. My lingerie issue is forgotten in a few minutes, the boys hug me and they get on with the Playstation. Jake is still discussing something with Coop, so I haven't hugged him yet. I offer the boys some beers, they'd never say no. Coop alerts me that he's going to the car quickly, I'm left with my bodyguards.

"Hello sexy thing"

"Hey Jake, it's good to see you, you smell amazing"

"Of course, I knew that I'd be seeing you"

He hugs me around the waist and feels my hips, then kisses me on the cheek.

"I've got you, never be afraid around me"

"Really?"

"Yes. Please allow me to be your best friend?"

"I'd actually like that, but I'm marrying my best friend now"

"I know that, but I could take the spot he had before, he's been promoted now"

"Okay sure, let's do that"

We toast to that with our beer bottles, Coop walks back in with a big smile on his face. He has a huge bunch of flowers in his hand, and a gift bag on the other hand.

"For my beautiful wife"

"Oh baby, did you have to?"

"Give me a kiss please?"

He kisses me passionately and allows me to open the gift. It's a Pandora set. A necklace, bracelet, a ring and an ankle bracelet.

"This is beautiful baby, thank you"

"Anything for you baby, you don't even have to ask"

Jake puts the ankle bracelet on while Coop puts on the necklace. Jake's touch on my legs is magical, he's surely up to something and it's weird that I'm loving it. Coop is going to kill me if he finds out about this chemistry that we have between us.

The boys are here to announce to me that they are Coop's groomsmen, and Jake is the Best Man. I wonder who my Maid Of Honor is, my best friend decided to bunk on me. Also, Coop is asking me to choose the date. I need to hurry up with that, but I should probably find friends first.

After finally getting dressed (I actually just put on black torn Jean shorts on top of the lingerie and slipped on a leather jacket, and glass heel sandals), we're ready to leave for this breakfast party. I hope all of this is going to end when I go back to school, or else I'll go crazy.

Coop is crazy about my fashion sense, he says it doesn't suit a virgin, funny. He can't keep his hands off me today, I think he's getting into wedding fever. Jake is also always beside me, I really want to meet his girlfriend though.

"So babe, it's a breakfast party, and the boys are bringing their girlfriends so that you can finally meet them"

"Okay, I have no problem with that"

"You can deal with jealous women, right?"

"Psshh, I'm not scared of young girls. Have you seen what I look like? Do you know who I'm getting married to?"

"Yep, better put those bitches in their place"

"Oh s**t, my rounds"

"I have a plan"

As we're arriving at The Grande Hotel, Coop doesn't go in with the others, he uses another entrance. We're walking into the hotel, through a corridor that looks like it accommodates the elite. He opens a suite, it's his very own. Just as I close the door, he's got my hands on the door, my jeans are down and my lingerie is unclipped. This is what Coop calls a "quickie", he left me hot and wanting more. He also did this so that we can arrive late, and make a "Grande" entrance.

Everyone is seated, with their women. They all look happy in these relationships, Jake looks very uneasy sitting next to his girl. She looks nice, I could say that she's not much into the life that the whole squad is living. Coop grabs my hand as he greets everyone, asking them to also greet his wife. Well, at least they all cheered, the mood is a bit great.

My seat is right next to Jake, as always. I walk past and greet the girls, they actually seem like they're scared of me. When I get to Jake's girl, I wanted to not greet, but I had to.

"Hey, I'm Adelaide"

"I'm Mary, Jake has told me so much about you guys, it's lovely to meet you"

"Likewise love, you look lovely"

She stands up to give me a hug, I hate being touched but I'll breathe through it. Jake is staring is at me, and then he's staring at my thighs. What a naughty boy, I'm not surprised though, this is our "thing".

The host, my future husband, starts the breakfast party. The food is being set out on the long dining table, and these ill-mannered kids are already eating before we can even bless the food. Jake is assigned to pray for the food, I can't wait to hear this.

"Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for this day, and thank you for waking us all up today. I ask you to bless this handsome entourage, and the beautiful ladies. Please bless the food that we're about to eat, as we also think about those who have no food. We pray for Coop and Adelaide's union, may everything go well for them, with us on their side. We thank you Lord, Amen."

We all cheer at this prayer, so sweet and sincere, I had no idea. Well, that's my best friend! While Coop talks his mouth off and dishes up for me, Jake touches my thigh.

"You smell so good, you look so good. You're scaring my girl"

"Haha f**k off, I was nice to her"

"Sure, you don't want to see her next to me"

"Fine, I hate her"

"Good"

His laugh just sends me into the clouds, I can't wait to see how life is going to go for us.

"So guys, may I have your attention please"

We all pay attention to Jake, he better not say something stupid.

"I'd like to propose a toast. We're nowhere close to the engagement party or the bachelor party, but this is a great place to say this"

"Here, here"

"Here's to good relationships, stable lifestyles, good grades, business mercies and to our bride and groom"

We all cheers to the toast, the girls are now standing up to come and hug me.

"So let's all be clear. Coop and Adelaide are both my best friends, please don't try anything funny"

"I want Coop"

"No, I want him"

We laugh at the jokes, and I am happy that Jake has made our relationship exclusive.

I need to go to the bathroom, so Coop has asked Jake to escort me. Mary can't believe her eyes, but she can't overreact because it's my fiancé who made this happen.

"Can I hold your hand?"

"What?"

The elevator opens and we get in. Jake pushes me against the mirror wall in there, I can't believe this.

"Not yet, but soon, I'll do things to you, bestie"

"Don't joke"

"Coop is a very busy man, I love the fact that he has no time for girls because of work and school"

"Well, that's great"

"He's already prepared me to pick you up and meet with everyone whenever he has to get busy. These days are going to be mad hectic for him"

We're already at the bathrooms, I go in and Jake waits outside. He looks too good, as though he's Coop's twin. I'm out the bathroom quickly, and Jake welcomes me back with a tight hug.

"I'm going to show you what it's like to be respected"

"I can't wait, you've started"

"This is nothing"

"Mary is going to kill us, let's hurry back"

We're laughing as we walk back in, Mary looks very uncomfortable. Coop stands up and kisses me, he has everyone whistling and wooing us. It's time to go, we're apparently going to the fun fair. In one day, you could travel the world with these boys.

We're in the car and driving in a convoy to the fun fair, Coop is playing Bryson Tiller. He keeps turning to look at me, and then asks for a kiss every time.

My life is a fairytale. I'm the one with glass slipper and this is my prince. It's complete.
