Where Did The Time Go?

Olivia

5th January 2016

Another week, another venue.

I was watching all the boys sound check when Rian jumped down from the stage and over to where I was sat.

"Hey, dad." I smiled, "What's up?"

"Can we chat?" Oh god.

"Sure." I smiled as he sat beside me.

"You and Zack have been dating for quite a few months now, haven't you?"

"Yes...?"

"Crap this is awkward- um..." He paused, "Have you- uh- you know..." He made gestures with his hands.

"Spit it out!" I laughed.

"Have you had sex yet...?" He whispered.

"No! Of course we haven't."

"Are you still a virgin...?" He was still whispering.

"Yes, dad!" I laughed it off.

"Are you... Planning anything with Zack?" He looked adorably awkward.

"We actually spoke about it, and I decided I wasn't really ready yet. Maybe in a couple of months." He seemed to loosen up a bit when I said that.

"Okay, good. Cause it's legal you can do whatever you want just... Use protection when you do, alright?"

"Duh! I'm on the pill anyway." I smiled.

"Good... Uh- cool. Glad we could talk about it." He went back up on stage.

I don't think we could ever have a more awkward conversation.

After that night's show, Zack jumped into my bunk with me. It had become a regular thing now.

"Hey, Liv?" He broke the comfortable silence as I lay cocooned in his arms.

"Yes?" I kept my eyes closed.

"What did Ri want earlier at sound check."

"He basically had 'the talk' with me" I sighed.

"Huh?" Zack was confused.

" 'Use protection!' 'Are you still a virgin?' 'Have you planned anything?' You know, 'the talk'." I laughed.

"Ah right... What did you tell him?"

"The truth... Mostly. That we hadn't yet. That I'm still a virgin. That I'm on the pill. I also told him that we'd spoke about it to put his mind at rest." I smiled.

Zack looked as awkward as my father had, "Maybe we should talk about it... I mean, I didn't know any of those things until you just told me... So..."

"Well I'm ready. A little nervous as it would be my first time, but yeah. It's up to you big guy!" I giggled.

"We'll think about it, okay?" He smiled and kissed my forehead.

"I love you, Zacky." I sighed happily.

"I love you so fucking much." He pulled me closer into a hug.
