Chapter 14: There is trouble in paradise! part 1

Shami woke up from the morning with worry and a bit of self doubt about how she had conducted herself last night. She had finally slept with Tanatswa, but just one mistake had led to her lashing out like a drunken lady and she admitted to herself that maybe she hadn't completely thought things through when she seduced him into sex. She was genuinely worried that maybe she would eventually exhibit the symptoms of pregnancy: sore breasts, nausea and skipping her period, but at the same time she had to go look for the mana plant, continue to level up and hopefully meet up with the other members. What if immortals couldn't get pregnant? That would just be absurd because she knew that all her lady parts were still functional and that at this point she was just lingering on denial. If in the end she did end up pregnant, how would she go about it. She barely knew any substantial information about Goshem nor a lot about Tanatswa to trust him enough to be the father of her child. What if he flaked and disappeared. If having to deal with her proves to be difficult, he could just ditch her and disappear to the unexplored parts of the planet, but that was probably her considering the worst possible scenario. She really wished that he had not splurged inside of her because she was now maimed with paranoia.

Tanatswa barely slept and seemed to be dealing with some mental fatigue. As soon as the morning dew disappeared, he decided to confront Shami regardless of the fact that he had messed up. He had been unexperienced in the past and also a victim of his own inadequacies, but after having slept over his conflicting thoughts, he decided to face the music head on, even if it meant Shami ending up hating him. He got off the tree he was reclined on and headed towards the fortress. He leaped over it easily like a gymnast doing a high jump and landed inside. He trotted towards the semi finished cottage and encountered Shami who seemed to be all dressed up and packed for the journey. When they looked at each other, eye to eye, Shami saw him, but she seemed unhappy. As a newly virginity stripped man, he had to deal with two awkward emotions; having to talk to a woman who he fucked last night but now hates him and also having to talk to a friend who probably didn't like him anymore. Before he could say anything, she spoke first and told him, "About last night, I think a lot of things got out of hand and I could carried away. I don't think we should be doing anything physical with each other anymore. I mean we have to get the mana plant, level up and also find others in this place, so I think it's best if we don't do what we did last night ever again." The moment Tanatswa heard this, he suddenly got upset. Was she pulling the female bullshit 'let's maintain a health distance from each other' thing? Although he wanted to respect her wishes, and even if last night's sex was all just some vapid hedonism to quench her thirst, he actually didn't want it to end that way.

"No, I don't want shit to get weird between us, but I am not gonna go with your decision. I mean, yeah I fucked up last night, but everything was great for you and for me, like it was like a special connection." he said, trying to find the right words to convey his feelings.

"I have heard the special connection remark before and it ain't going to move me. Let's just be friends again or I guess, survival buddies. I think it will be for the better." she said, finishing her packing.

"No, I don't want that, I mean sure you're probably pissed, but it doesn't warrant us ending it all." he said, with a poignant tone.

"There was never really an us. I just got fucken horny and wanted to get laid, but forgot that shit could get real in the moment and yeah, I got careless and trusted you to do something that is in our best interests and who knows if your love juices got me pregnant or not. I guess I will have to find out in the next 4 weeks. Hopefully I won't skip a period cuz lord knows I would be fucked if that were to happen." she said, now looking at him with sharp eyes.
