2001 Part 2: A Virgin's Odyssey Continues

We're parked outside my parents' bungalow. There's nowhere else to go. Especially when Gary exits the vehicle, with my keys in his hand, and heads into my home.

I feel unable to say no to him staying here for the rest of the week, but I refuse to engage in any intimacy with him. He must understand and respect my boundaries. However, why does he have to look so damned handsome when I try to stand up to him? Would it really hurt to close the curtains and explore my sexuality a little more with him?

I come to find it increasingly difficult to keep my affair with Gary a secret. My aunt Shauna keeps appearing, uninvited, and the next-door neighbours know something's up. While my mother's texts and calls are now more frequent and inquisitive than ever. She realises someone else is here and she's threatening to get on the next plane home. I should stop this now, but Gary wants to take me shopping for lingerie. And I just know I'd love the feeling of those sexy undergarments on my body.

Will we make it safely to Saturday? And what will become of us after he has to return home to his wife?

Based on a true story...

What evolved to become his choice,

Quickly became my chore,

But losing control of everything,

Led me closer to my own freedom.
