After a couple of times over phone and chat. I realised that she was depressed. I sort of guessed that she probably doesn’t want to have this marria...e. I offered her out. She said it was not her call. I got to know she was heartbroken. One day she revealed everything to me.She said that she is not a virgin. She actually has had 3 partners. Two of whom she had sex with multiple times. I was shattered and wanted to call off this wedding. But she was so hot that it felt like loosing out on the. But that was a sin, too, and after a while it might not be enough. I had to stop everything. It was easy to say that now, when I was still shaken up, but what about tomorrow? And the next day? And all the long years ahead until I married Eddie, or somebody else?The thing was, I loved sex, and I wasn’t allowed to. At least not yet.Mom stuck her head in the door, checking up on me again. This time she liked what she saw.“Oh, she’s saying her prayers,” she said, and she left again.Finally, I said. There were eight of them in the room, Craig and seven of his fellow trainees, sitting round a table for twelve. They had all finished their initial training and were awaiting assignment to a colony where they would live. Craig had enjoyed the training, he’d come third in the class, but now he was looking forward to doing his real job: extracting as many people as possible from Earth.They all stood as Lieutenant Matthews came in. Once everyone was seated he started to speak, “First, you have. Hiroshi heard a contented sigh come from Daiki. "Aren't you jealous that I'm in the same class as Akane-san?"Both Gotou and Katsuo glowered at Daiki and his look of happiness. Hiroshi just shrugged.Oddly enough, Hiroshi had spoken to her a few times already. In fact, she seemed to have sought him out for conversations each time. And each conversation was just a little odd.Like the time she asked for his thoughts on women in the workplace. Or the time she wanted his opinion on same-sex.
