Lost on Titan

{Part 24}

~Videl~

"Oh, V, he was most likely just trying to be a gentleman," Sienna explained, after Videl confided in her how he had practically bolted out of her quarters the night before. "I mean - " Sienna's voice dropped to a conspiratorial whisper, despite the fact that they were alone in Videl's place. "You said he was hard. He was probably scared he'd split you in half with it."

Videl's jaw dropped, and she blushed harder than she ever had before.

"Sienna!" Videl hissed, feeling like she might die from embarrassment.

"What?" Sienna asked innocently, mouthful of the waffles Videl had made from scratch for her, when she had asked her best friend to come over to talk that morning.

"You think he wanted to . . . you know . . . ?" Videl mumbled meekly.

"Fuck you?"

"Sienna!?"  Videl squeaked, covering her face with her hands.

"Oh, sweetie, of course he did." Sienna giggled, patting Videl on the back sympathetically. "He most likely knows you're a virgin, thanks to that Darcy bitch. He's probably just trying not to scare you off by throwing you down, and - "

"Oh, my Stars!" Videl cried, trying to shield her ears from her best friend's nonchalant vulgarity.

"See? You aren't even ready to hear me talk about it," Sienna smiled, shaking her head. "Guys can sense that. You should count yourself lucky that you've got one that doesn't pressure you into it before you're ready, just to get his dick wet."

Videl cringed at the thought. It seemed like her friend was speaking from experience, and she felt bad for her that her first time had been someone else's idea.

"Was Darcy right about me?" Videl asked hesitantly. "Am I really a virgin?"

Sienna swallowed and her eyebrows furrowed. "Well, yeah, V - about the virgin part. I don't think you're weird, though."

"Why haven't I . . . done it, yet?" Videl wondered with more than an edge of nervousness in her voice.

"Um," Sienna sighed. "You were never really excited about the idea - you had bigger problems to deal with, I think. And then, after Lars . . . you really   weren't interested in that kind of thing."

Videl winced as she nodded.

"Which is understandable," Sienna added quickly. "He tried to take your virginity from you, by force. And by the Stars, and a swift kick to the balls, you still have it. You should be able to keep it as long as you want."

Videl gave her a small, half-smile.

"And besides, who cares what Darcy thinks? She's just a jealous cow."

Maybe Sienna was right, and she had nothing to worry about. Kane wasn't cruel, regardless of her pretending he was, the night before. He had left because he didn't want to take things too far. It was true that she wasn't ready, even if she wanted him more and more each day.

"Thanks, Sienna," Videl said with a giggle of relief - Sienna's words had calmed her nerves. "I feel a little better, now."

"Glad I could help," Sienna winked. "And thank you,  for these delicious waffles!"
