"S-SEX?" I LOOK at both of them baffled while the odd word rolls out my tongue. Who is sex? Is he the God who brings babies?
Anna stares at me for a moment while Gloria looks like she's had enough of this conversation and continues making my face pretty with makeup.
"Well—" Anna clears her throat and straightens her back while focusing on my hair, "You learn that in 5th grade."
"I haven't learned ... anything." I say softly as I realised that I have never actually learned anything my entire life. All I did was follow my mother's orders, just like how Anna and Gloria follow Angelo's orders. I'm more like them than I think.
"Basically—"
"Anna.." Gloria trails off warningly while staring at her.
"Jeez fine, I'll keep it pg-13." Anna rolls her eyes before continuing, "A man, only a man by the way. They have to insert their thing— onto a woman's thing— then boom, sperm, egg, fetus, baby."
I stare at her trying to digest what she just said. I have no clue what she's talking about but I pretend I do because I don't want her to be repeating herself for me.
"You don't get it, do you?" Anna raises a brow before sighing.
"N-No," I shake my head softly, "Insert what...?"
She clenches her teeth so her voice doesn't sound so obvious, "Penis... Vagina..."
"You can also do this at any time, not just after marriage.. Well in our culture it's preferable for us women to do it after marriage and of course for men it's the literal opposite, but who questions the male species these days?"
"They are aliens." Gloria adds.
I stare at her. I thought babies just magically appear after marriage, it never occurred to me that you actually had to do something to make a baby. I'm still clueless on what that thingy thingy or sex or whatever it's called you have to do means.
"Is there a ... photograph on how to do this .. sex?"
"Photograph? Oh there's lots of that. Even videos." Anna says while putting pins in my hair.
Gloria hits Anna on the arm and Anna hisses, "Cosa? hit Navea, she asked!"
"C-Can I see?" I ask. I wanted to see these videos or photographs, it would be better if I wasn't clueless about this because I knew I'd have a baby sometime in the future, definitely not now but maybe once I escape here and finish my studies and find myself a nice man.
Anna looks at me with her mouth wide open and Gloria starts cracking up as if it's funniest thing she's ever heard.
"W-What?" I look at them confused with my brows knotted together.
