CHAPTER 20 - A Virgin’s Tale

  "Well, there's no other way to say this, I came here to lose my virginity."

  "I am. I mean, I was-", correcting myself, "I was in a long-term relationship with my boyfriend, Err, ex-boyfriend for more than seven years, and well-" I try to find the right words to say, "He, we, never even had sex at all. Not even once," I chuckle. On the other hand, Dmitri chokes in his own wine,

  "What?", his eyes are bewildered from what he heard.

  "Yep. I am here, aren't I?" I sarcastically retort his disbelief. I drink more wine to the last drop and pour another one. Oh, this is good. A hot bath and a bottle of wine under the clear night sky.

  "Sorry, I didn't mean to sound rude," he tries to explain unnecessary things.

  "None taken," I quickly answer.

  "He's either, asexual, gay, or just stupid," he revolts into a hilarious remark.

  I cackle uncontrollably, "I'll go with the last one, then."
