Victim of Self

At the end of that day Wednesday, Sal suggested that we go visit Stella to see what was happening And to see how we could help our friend.

Stella unlike Sal and I was from an extremely wealthy home but she was the stepdaughter of her mom's husband who was a successful politician. This meant they neglected her most of the time. Her mom was so busy pleasing her new husband that she forgot how to care for her own daughter. The young man who aided our friendship was a family friend who she hanged around with most times. I think she likes him a little more than she admits. Stella and her parents lived at a ministerial exclusive neighborhood. And she mostly did volunteer work when most students had part time jobs. Different backgrounds, different processes.

When sal and i got to Stella's house, she was in her room. One of the maids took us to see her and with a few minutes of convincing her to open the door, she did. She went on her bed and started crying. It was apparent she had been crying the whole time.

Sal and I asked her what was happening. We first had to console her and then question her on what the issue was.

Sal: What's wrong, baby girl? You have been missing and now that we are here, we see you have been crying. What happened?

Stella: Nothing, hey I heard you guys have been inseparable. Some even said you looked like you were dating. (She tried to distract us).

Me: What? Who told you that?

Stella: Princess, my little half sister? You know how she is.

Me: Ahh, right.( Princess was Stella's half sister and she was a full on brat. She loved nothing but Poking her nose into other people's business. She was only 11 but had lackey's in our school who told her everything.)

Sal: We are together, kinda.

Me: Not really! We are just a bit closer than before. Nothing is going on. And you know my boyfriend is Semm. Him and I are in love. Very.

Sal:Ahh, whatever. Let's talk about you, Stella. What happened? And why didn't you call either of us?

Stella pointed to an envelope on her dresser and sal went to get it. Upon opening it , she realized that it was a pregnancy test and it read positive. She was pregnant. She was 2 months pregnant already. That's why she stopped going to school.

Me: You had sex? You don't have a boyfriend. Who did you give your innocence to?

Stella: Yeah, you always were proud that you were keeping yourself for that one guy.

Stella started crying again. Sal and I both hugged her and consoled her till she calmed down again and could talk.

Stella:

You know how because of my mom, my stepdad is taking care of one of my cousin. Step dad made arrangements for her to marry a family friend who I always hard a crush on. I was desperate. There was no way I could be with him if he married my cousin. And I knew he liked me too. I had to take action. I just wanted to be with him once at least.

I seduced my cousin's fiance..

Me: What? Who?

Stella: I know it was wrong but he is perfect and I always loved him. He has always been there for me, making sure I was ok, healthy, not lonely.

Sal: So how did you do it? Dish.

Stella: So you know my parents have not been around for a while. I went to stay at his place telling him that I was bored and did not feel so safe in the house. Being the kind caring man that he was, he allowed me to stay in the house with him .

Me: I mean, that's not a big deal, how did you seduce him?

Stella: In the middle of the night, when we are sleeping, I would pretend I was having nightmares and start screaming. He would come rushing to my room to hold me till I fell asleep so he would end up sleeping in my bed. I did this a couple of times and then I think he didn't feel weird about it anymore. So then one day I started touching him slowly without him noticing. Eventually I kissed him one day. I was curious, I wanted to know if he saw me as a woman too so I continued.

Me: woooooooooooooow. What happened?

Stella: He woke up and asked what I was doing and I told him I was sorry and I didn't know what came over me. He didn't overreact so then I did it again the second day but on that day he kissed me back.

Sal: Nice. You innocent devil. Up top.( Sal and Stella high five-ed).

Me: So you did it that day?

Stella: Yes, it happened so fast. It was so intense but beautiful. It hurt a bit at first but I loved it.

But then...

Me: Then what? Why rnt you talking?
