He's a Keeper

Chapter 24

Felicity

He had me take a shower with him, and he tried to get it out a billion times.

I even tried, but I can't even find it.

So, petrified, we got dressed and went downstairs.

His Mom just asked him about work.

Everyone is out here, and all my family is all in bed because they leave for New Orleans in the morning.

All his cousins are in here. His brothers. I bury my head in my hands.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Beckett asks me. "Are you okay?"

"Can I talk to you?" I ask her. "Like...alone?"

She looks surprised.

"Yeah, of course honey." She stands up. I stand up too, following her out of the living room.

She walks into the kitchen, turning to me.

It's all open. They can see us.

This is so embarrassing.

"I um..."

She waits, looking at me with caring eyes.

"I..." I bury my face in my hands. "This is horrible."

"What happened?" she asks.

"When you came upstairs...and Shane said he was getting in the shower...he wasn't getting in the shower."

She stares at me.

"We were having sex..." I bite my lip. "And...god, this is mortifying. Please don't tell anybody."

She smiles.

"I won't." she says. "Promise."

I nod, swallowing. "I was in his lap, and we'd never done that before, and when we finished and I got off of him...the condom was gone..."

I'm telling my boyfriends mother this. God, help me.

"Okay..." she trails off.

"And we searched the bed and it wasn't there so he um...he felt up there, and he felt it, but now it's gone, stuck inside me, and I don't know what to do. Like...am I going to get an infection? Lose the ability to have kids?"

"Did you try to get it out??"

"Yes. We tried a million times, both of us. I couldn't even feel it and he only felt it a few times."

"Sweetheart, it's possible the condom didn't fit." She says.

She doesn't look comfortable discussing her sons size. "Did it go all the way to the end?"

I shake my head.

"No, it only went just a little past half way."

"Well that almost defeats the purpose." She says. "It didn't fit."

"So what do I do? The condoms don't fit and we've used them. I not-oh god, I'm going to end up pregnant! Am I going to end up pregnant?"

"You could." She says.

"We used the condoms before, the night the boys recorded us. What if it leaked?"

"Well you took the morning after pill only two days before that." she says. "And it lasts five days."

"So I need to take it again?" I ask.

"Yes. And you need to either wait till morning and see if it comes out on its own, or you need to go to the hospital and have it removed."
