Virginity in second marriages by Angela

After hearing this, Angelica's thoughts drifted elsewhere.

It seemed like a good idea to fall in love while she was still in high school and move toward marriage when she graduated.

But there was an age difference between her and Manuel, and by the time she would have gone to college, he would have finished college!

It simply would not be possible to be together every day, and the thought made Angelica's expression turn a little sad.

What a pity-

Genara, on the other hand, still held Angelica in her arms, her thoughts drifting far away and already thinking of a bright future.

" - Come for sure! You don't have to meet anyone if you don't want to. Eat the cake there, I'll be happy. You should never miss my party.

In the end Angelica could only agree. "Okay, I'll be there then."

"I love you Angelica," Genara said, giving Angelica a big hug before looking at Livia, who was sleeping on the top bunk, "Livia, you will be there with Angelica, so don't miss either of them."

Livia was still awake, and when she heard her scream, she couldn't pretend to be dead, so she said, "Then I might have to work part-time, so if my boss is okay with me taking time off, I'll go, but if not, then I'm sorry."

"Well, then you should apply to your boss and say some nice things, and you should be allowed to come."

"Well, I'll try."

After that the dormitory fell silent and no one spoke.

Everyone went to sleep with their own thoughts.

The next day, Angelica wanted to go shopping for Genara's gift-after all, she was going on her birthday and it was not a good idea to go empty-handed.

Consequently, she ran into Manuel just outside the school.

Surprised and amazed to see him, Angelica quickly ran up to him.

"Manuel, why are you here again?"

After the reconciliation, Manuel had come to see her much more often!

"Again? She squinted slightly. What else is "again?" Didn't you expect to come over?

"Of course not!"

Angelica shook her head. - I'm just surprised. You come to me every day, where do you find so much free time?"

"I can always find time for you. What are we going to do today?

And although they had not yet confessed their feelings, much less discussed the fact that they were now dating, they spent time together, the word was a real couple. Manuel accompanied Angelica everywhere, they ate together and step by step grew closer.

"I'm going to a friend's birthday in a couple of days, so I thought I'd buy her some presents," he said.

"A birthday? What friend?" Manuel had met Angelica's three roommates, and apart from Livia, the other two still seemed like people with bad intentions.

"To one of the neighbors. You saw them last time. One is called Genara and the other is called Michela. Yet, they are both crazy about you.

Manuel remembered the day he first saw them, and then, chasing his lips, he pulled Angelica's hand.

" - Okay, let's buy a present. You will only give it, don't go to the birthday party."

At these words, Angelica gave a puzzled look.

"Why?"

The girl was too innocent and Manuel wanted to protect her clean heart, so of course she didn't say anything bad about those two people in front of her, but only said in a light voice," - If you go, who will keep me company for dinner?"

Oh - Don't you have anyone to have dinner with? Angelica was completely confused.

-Yes, if you don't come, I will have to eat alone."

"But Manuel, why before......."

As if he hadn't gone to a bar all the time alone before. Angelica didn't remember him ever complaining about that, so she didn't understand why he was acting so strangely today.

- That was before. And now everything is different, he touched her forehead lightly. - Maybe there are other guys invited there, so do you want to go meet someone?

Angelica was shocked, because exactly the same words were said to her by Genara yesterday.

- How could you think of me like that? I didn't even have that in mind. Okay, I'm not going anywhere.

Angelica thought that if she went, Manuel would think that she really wanted to meet someone else.

- But yesterday I agreed. If I don't go, won't they think I'm not keeping my word?

"They won't think so."

It was important to keep people's word, but those two were already bad-hearted, and for these people there was no need to fear wronging them.

But if Manuel said nothing, I fear Angelica would continue to dwell on it.

"Just tell her you suddenly had other things to do, tell her you're sorry, and then give her the gift again, in good faith, if she gets mad at you about the...... issue." Manuel went no further with these last words, Angelica, though simple, was not unreasonable and soon understood what he meant.

"Understood, then let's go choose a gift, I will clear it with her then."

"Okay."

Angelica did not know Genara that well, not at all, after all she had had an argument before, and she did not want to know Genara's preferences.

Angelica had been used to perfumes since childhood, and she particularly liked sweet fruit flavors, so she was going to buy Genara a perfume this time.

When she dragged Manuel to the perfume counter, the lady thought the girl was buying it for herself, and Angelica immediately said, "I want to give it to my friend, what perfume would be a good gift?"

"If you want to give it to someone, you have to know what she likes--does she like it stronger or lighter?"

Angelica thought about it for a moment, but she couldn't remember anything, so she shook her head.

"I really don't know."

"I'll tell you what, since you're not quite sure, how about something that doesn't taste so strong, but not so bland either?"

That sounded like a good idea, and Angelica nodded, "Yes, would you wrap it up nicely for me? And I would like to write a birthday message, do you have a card?"

"We have all the cards, do you want us to write them for you or do you want to write them yourself?"

Angelica immediately said, "I will write it by hand."

She did not have time to do it herself, so she could not let someone else write the cards for her.

Manuel sighed as he watched the young girl write her card, too clean for her own good or ill.

But one could not force it; certain emotions must be experienced alone before one could understand them and then grow.
