Making a Decision
The sun raised high up in the air over the farmlands of Sweet Apple Acres. The large field of apple trees were healthy, the animals were content in their little pens and Granny Smith herself was sleeping peacefully on her front porch. Apple Bloom was sweeping the dust off of the front porch while Big Mac was fiddling with his truck.
Out on the large field, Applejack was riding on one of the family’s horses. The horse galloped as Applejack held on tight to the bridle as she was taking it out on its daily exercise. After a moment of galloping, Applejack slowed the horse down until they came to a full stop. She looked over to the entire field of the farm and smiled at all of what her family’s ancestors had done to make it and what her current family have been preserving.
Trotting alongside, Sunset was steering another of the family’s horse while Soul was riding on the back and had his arms wrapped around her. The two stopped next to Applejack and watched out at the fields as she was.
“It’s so incredible that your family has this much land,” Sunset commented. “It must be a fortune to have gotten all of this.”
“Ya think that, but it didn’t for our great grandpa,” Applejack said. “It was way back when Granny was just a little girl and her dad and mother were asked to come down to this part of town to start up a farm. There was need for more farms at the time and the city needed plenty of food and supplies that only a farm could supply. Eventually our family started up here and ever since, we’ve been one of the most profitable farms in the whole state.”
“Makes me wonder why we’re not millionaires,” Soul commented.
“It cost a lot to maintain a farm, cuz. We can’t just have a farm here and make a lot of money just like that. Plus, we need to hire folks around to keep up with demands that are needed to get everything harvested and shipped out,” Applejack explained. “And Granny Smith is a billionaire. We don’t inherit any of it until she’s gone.”
“Wait, what?”
“Anyways, Ah’m glad ya two came here for a visit,” Applejack said. “Things have been kinda slow for a while and with everyone else spending time together what with school coming in a few days, Ah was beginning to get bored.”
“We were glad to come here, Applejack. It’s always fun to come here and ride your family horses,” Sunset said. “And just being here is so relaxing. The fresh air, the clear skies-”
“The benefits of riding the back of the horse with your best girl,” Soul added with a sly smile. “I think that one is the best of all of them.”
Sunset giggled while Applejack rolled her eyes.
“Well, there is that but I was also going to say that I’m glad to have such a sweet loving boyfriend with me,” Sunset said. “Who I love with me heart.”
“And with all mine too,” Soul said before he leaned down and kissed Sunset on the lips. The two were sharing a tender moment while Applejack only made a fake gag face but smiled at the two.
“So, Soul? Ya still not having hard feelings about me throwing ya in the trash can, right?” Applejack asked.
“I was at first but when I heard what you did to Rarity, I thought it was a good idea to forgive than to receive having green hair,” Soul replied. “Also, I thought that was funny. Clyde told me about it after he had a phone call from her and he had to comfort her for more than two days. I feel bad for the girl but Rarity did bring this on herself.”
“Ah just wanted to make it clear that Ah wasn’t interested in dating anytime soon and made some insurance of it,” Applejack said. “Ah do plan on having a man someday in my life but just not anytime soon.”
“Plus, you’ll more than likely end up with a lazy, good-for-nothing guy anyway, so might as well enjoy what good life you’ll have before that happens,” Soul commented with a wicked smile.
Applejack let out a low growl before she let out a whistle to the couple's horse. The horse suddenly stood on its hind legs as it waved it frontal ones in the air. Sunset held onto the bridle as she best she could but unfortunately for Soul, he wasn’t grabbing around Sunset at the moment and fell down to ground on his head. He then tumbled on his stomach and groaned in pain. Applejack smiled with satisfaction as she trotted away with her horse while Sunset’s horse was back on all four hooves. Sunset watched Applejack trot away before looking back down at Soul with a raised brow.
“Did you think it was a good idea to insult your cousin’s love life while we were riding on one of her horses?” Sunset asked with a raised brow.
“Augh….. Not anymore,” Soul replied weakly.
Both Sunset and Soul were back at his home after their time at Sweet Apple Acres and and bandaging up Soul’s head. The two laid quietly on Soul’s bed as they enjoyed the others company. Soul was looking up at the ceiling thinking he was the luckiest guy in the world while the girl of his dreams laid next to him while she had her head on his shoulder. He had his right hand under his head for comfort his slight headache while he had his entire left arm wrapped around Sunset and their hands interlocked with each other. Soul looked down to see Sunset having her eyes closed but knew she wasn’t asleep because she was feeling very happy being with the young man she loves.
Soul repositioned himself to his side just so he could be able to gaze at Sunset herself. She noticed this and gazed back into his serene blue eyes and warmly smiled at him. She leaned forwards and pressed her lips against his. She adjusted herself to be on her side like Soul did. Sunset wrapped her arms around Soul’s neck and closed what little gap was between the two. She let out small moans of pleasure as she felt Soul rubbing her back gently like she likes it while he was stroking through her hair. After for a while, the two stopped and there was moment of silence until Sunset spoke.
“Hey, Babe? Can I… ask you about something?”
“Of course, Sunny. What do you need?”
“Well, lately I’ve been having a lot of things on my mind. About, you know, you’re mom having another baby in a few months, getting Applejack to go out with someone and about how our relationship has been going,” Sunset explained. “I want to say first that I love you and I want to do anything to prove that to you.”
“Sunny, you don’t have to do anything for me,” Soul said with a warm smile. “As long as you’re my girl and best friend, you don’t have to do anything for me to prove that.”
“I know, but just hear me out, Okay?” Sunset asked before she took a moment to breath. “Soul, I’ve been thinking for a long while about us and… well.... I was hoping we could try taking it to the next level.”
Soul’s expression turned blank for a moment. He was trying to understand what Sunset meant by ‘the next level’ and the only thing he could think of was something that would make him hesitate. Steeling himself for what's to come, he look at Sunset with serious expression and spoke up. “What do you mean ‘the next level?’” he asked.
Sunset blushed slightly and let out a sigh. “You know, maybe we can…. have sex together,” she answered.
Soul blushed as the idea have him being intimate with Sunset was… well, it was pretty much what every guy ever wanted to do with their girl. Except for the ones that were not into woman but were… yeah. But it was also a very serious thing to consider. Soul was raised under moral responsibility every since he was very young and his mom has threatened to have him neutered. Although, in the back of his mind, he doubt his mom would go to that extreme length to punish him. Still, this was something he knew she would bring back up after she first approached him with it a few days after Christmas.
Soul took a deep breath and cleared his mind before he looked back at Sunset. “Well um, D-Did all of that really make you think about this?” he asked.
Sunset nodded. “Yes. I’ve seen how your mom loves your dad so much and seeing the others together with the ones they love makes me so happy for them,” she replied. “And everytime I see you, I have this burning passion in me that just wants me to scream I love you so much. I can’t imagine a world where you and I aren’t together. Not even one where we never met. And you did say we would talk about this at another time.”
“Yes, I did say that,” Soul admitted.
“I also remember you saying, ‘I have a half-naked chick sitting on top of me, what else should I do?’ Sunset commented before making a sly smile.
Soul chuckled. “Yeah, yeah, at least I matured a little bit since then,” he said. There was a pause between the two as he thought over Sunset’s offer. He then looked back at her with a small smile. “How about I think about till this Saturday? It’s a really big decision to make and I need some time to think it over.”
Sunset nodded. “Alright, I understand,” she said. After that she made a sly smile. “But just to give me a tip on my scale.” she leaned over to Soul’s ear and whispered into them. “I’m not wearing anything under my clothes right now,” she whispered.
Soul blushed vigorously as Sunset looked at him with bedroom eyes and a devious smile.
“You are an evil little hottie,” Soul commented. “Don’t ever change.”
A couple of hours had past and Sunset had left to go home. As Soul waved goodbye at her as she drove off in her car, he was left to decided what he needed to do next. He closed the door behind him and leaned against it for a moment. She rubbed his chin for a moment as he was trying to think of how he was going to approach this situation and whether or not to do what Sunset suggested.
Soul looked over to the living room where his mother, Dawn was sitting as she was reading a book while she sat down on the couch and drinking tea. He thought about what if he was going to ask his mother about all this and had a pretty good idea on where it would go.
*********
“Hey, mom?”
“Yes Soul, is there something you need?”
“Yeah, mom. Um, Sunset and I have been talking about taking our relationship to the next level and well… she wanted to express it in a physical way. Have any advice for that?”
“......”
Before Soul knew it, Dawn’s head exploded from the sudden shock and her body fell over to the ground. Soul took cover behind the couch when her head exploded and looked down at the remains of his mom.
“.....I’m guessing that was too much to take.”
*********
Soul knew that wasn’t going to be nowhere near what was going to happen. But he knew his mom would overreact to it and probably give him a sex ed speech…. again. He then saw his dad walking down the stairs and walking past the living room.
“I’m going to go take care of a few things real quick out in the garage,” Comet said.
“Alright, just don’t take too long,” Dawn said. “I’m feeling an itch on my foot and I need someone to rub it.”
“Really? Do you have any other itches you need taken care of?” Comet asked with a sly smile.
“Nope.”
“Oh….. Okay then.”
Comet walked out the back door disappointingly while Soul just rolled his eyes. Ever since his mom had gotten pregnant, she was less prone to ‘having adult fun’ and was more into eating all the pickles out of the refrigerator and drinking the pickle juice too. Soul followed suit and went to find his dad.
Soul walked out the back door and saw that his dad was going into the garage. Soul followed and went to see his dad was looking over his tools as he usually does every so often. He took a deep breath and went over to him to talk about his situation hoping that he would be less dramatic than his mom would act.
“Hey, um, dad,” Soul greeted.
Comet looked to see Soul and smiled. “Hey there, bud,” he greeted. “Did you need something?”
“Well, yeah actually. You see, I was talking to Sunset about… something today and I needed advice on how to handle this,” Soul explained. “It’s something serious that I’ve gotten myself in.”
Comet raised a brow. “Like what?” he asked. “Is there trouble between you two?”
“What? No! No, everything's fine between us. In fact it’s been perfect,” Soul answered. “It’s just…. we were just talking about taking our relationship… further and well…. it’s kinda...”
Comet looked at his son as he saw that his cheeks were getting redder and redder by the moment. It was then that he knew what he was talking about and understood what he was going through.
“Ah, I see. Which one of you brought it up?” Comet asked.
“She did.”
“Hmmm, alright, that’s actually kinda good. A guy is not supposed to bring something like that up anyway. Makes it sound like they're forcing the idea to them girls,” Comet commented.
“Yeah well, Sunset was trying to make it to where I would be having it with her,” Soul said as he rolled his eyes.
Comet chuckled. “I bet she did that just to tease you,” he said. “Anyways, you know how you were born, right?”
“Yeah, when you and mom had premarital sex the first time and then you had me,” Soul answered.
“Well, that was something your mom wanted to say to you. Truth is, we did have sex before we were married but we didn’t have you until it was after one of our casual times together,” Comet explained. “After we were having you, we decided that we needed to stop fooling around like young idiotic teens and be the parents that you needed.”
“Okay, I get that but what does this have to-”
“Hold on, I’m getting to it,” Comet said. “Your mom was worried that you would get into the same situation as we did. It wasn’t easy raising you. Granny Smith offered us to live with her and have us live together on the farm but your mom didn’t think it was a good idea to live in a home where your family was rich. She wanted me and her to make a living for ourselves and show you how people like us can stand on our foot and raise a kid like you. When the thought that you might get in the same situation, your mom immediately wanted to get you introduce to the idea of having sex until you were married as young as you were.”
“That explains why she went over it with me when I was eight,” Soul commented. “I remember not eating anything for about three days and I was paler than usual.”
“Yeah, I remember that,” Comet said as he chuckled. “Now, you’re growing up into a fine man and I can’t tell you how to live your life forever. I have to let you go at some point and let you decide on what to do for yourself. You love this girl, right?”
“Of course I do, she means the world to me,” Soul replied.
“And I know you mean that. There’s a lot of guys out there that would and will take advantage of girls like Sunset and leave them after they had their fun with them. A lot of boys do that and a lot of girls get heartbroken. I know that you will never do something like that,” Comet said. “Right now, you need to ask yourself this: Do you really want to do this? Do you think she’s wants to do this because she’s feeling pressured or she just feels she needs to know when you two should do it.”
Soul looked down at the ground as he went over what his dad had said. Part of him wanted to take this opportunity and proved to Sunset that he did loved her and he was willing to do anything for her. But another part of him wanted to not take any chances at taking something away from her precious. He looked back at his dad.
“Wow. It’s…. It’s not easy making this decision, is it?” Soul asked.
“No. The good book says that we shouldn’t do such things unless we were married to the ones we love. But that same book told us that we would be facing temptation and we would, at times, fail to resist it,” Comet replied. “I can’t tell you what the good Lord is thinking right now. But I know that you would do the right thing no matter what you choose. Whatever idea you have, it’s always been with good intentions.”
“Thanks dad, it kinda made it harder for me to do,” Soul said. “But…. It has given me something to think about clearer though.”
“Anytime son, I know you’ll do the right thing,” Comet said. “But, you know, if your mom finds out about this talk and you happen to have gone along with your girl’s idea, I have to say this or other wise, she’s going to kill me.”
“Wait, say what?”
“This: No, you can’t do that. The Lord says you can’t. Your mom say you can’t. I’ll lock you up before you even think about leaving this house of doing it,” Comet said. “There, I said it. I’m safe from you mom now.”
“Wow, you are a terrible dad with complicated, spiritual wisdom. Thanks for the talk,” Soul said bluntly.
“No problem. But if you do go along with your girl, I should at least make sure you get some protection,” Comet said. “Just to make sure, um…. how big are you exactly?”
“How big am I? What do you mean?” Soul asked with a raised brow.
Comet cleared his throat before walking over to Soul and whispering to him. He was explaining to Soul the importance of what he meant by ‘how big’ and the importance of why he needed to know so. After he was done explaining, Comet stepped back to see his son blushing before he coughed into his hand.
“R-Right. I think… maybe…”
Soul leaned over to Comet and started whispering into his ears. After Soul was done telling him his ‘size,’ he took a few steps back and remained quiet for a moment.
Comet let out a small laugh. “That sounds about the same size as me,” he said. “That’s prove that you’re my boy.”
Soul rolled his eyes.
“Come on. Since we’re apparently the same size, I’ll let you borrow some of mine,” Comet said.
“You’re seriously given me some of yours?”
“Hey, either I give you some or I end up a granddad. And believe me, I’m not ready for that yet. Especially since we’re going to be having a little girl crawling around here,” Comet replied. “Now let’s go while you’re mom is busy with her book. It’ll give us some time before she suspects something.”
Comet lead the way towards the house while Soul followed closely behind him.
A day has past and it was one day until Soul would visit Sunset at her home. Sunset was sitting in her chair nervously as she waited for the hours to go by fast. Her face was slightly burning as she imagined she and Soul being intimately close together and what kind of things he might do to her. She looked up at the clock to see that it was nearing eleven and her stomach was grumbling slightly. She put aside her thoughts for the time being and decided to see what she could do.
Just as she was making her way towards the kitchen, she stopped and looked at a photo of both her and Soul together as they lovingly held one another. She picked it up and smiled as she held it against her chest while all the warm memories of the two came to her. Suddenly, she heard her cell phone ringing and went over to it to answer.
“Hello?”
“Hello dear, it’s me, Rarity. I was hoping that you could come with me at the spa today. Fluttershy would have come but unfortunately she had to take care of a few animals at the shelter. I thought if you have the time, you would like to come along. It’ll be my treat.”
Sunset smiled. “Sure, Rarity, I would love to come along,” she said. “What time?”
“Around two would be nice. See you then?”
“See you then.”
Sunset hung up and placed the phone on the counter as she made her way towards the kitchen to make something to eat.
A few hours later and Sunset was at the spa with Rarity. The two were in the building and were being escorted towards a room with a large hot tub in the center. The two were left alone and they had gotten undressed before they had entered into the hot, soothing water. The two let out contents sighs as they felt the rich mineral water on their bare skins.
“Ahhh~ This feels amazing,” Rarity commented. “I wish Fluttershy was here right now. She’s missing out on all this relaxation.”
“But then I wouldn’t be here,” Sunset said. “You’ve never really did invite me to come along to these things.”
“Well, to be honest, Sunset, I just thought that you wouldn’t be into this,” Rarity said. “But when Fluttershy couldn’t come. You were the only one I could think of that would at least give it a try.”
“I used to go to spas with my mentor whenever she and I had a break. I just haven’t been going to them as much since, you know, trying to take over the world phase and what not,” Sunset explained as she giggled slightly. “But I’m always up for it whenever.”
“Well, I will certainly invite you to come along with me and Fluttershy. We could always have more company to have with us,” Rarity said.
Sunset smiled as Rarity closed her eyes to enjoy the soothing feel of the water. While Rarity was doing so, Sunset just stared at the wall as her thoughts were back on her and Soul together. Her face was blushing and she was unaware that her breathing was going through her mouth as she was getting more aroused by her thoughts of him. She leaned against the edge of the tub as Rarity opened her eyes for a moment to see Sunset’s face burning up. She raised a brow at Sunset and spoke up.
“Sunset dear, are you alright?” she asked. “The water isn’t too warm for you, is it?”
Sunset froze up for a moment as she cleared her thoughts and looked at Rarity with nervous eyes. “Wha- No! No! I’m fine, it just…. well….” Sunset looked at Rarity for a moment. She remembered that Rarity and Clyde had a very close relationship together and that Rarity would tell them about some of their intimate moments without going into too much detail. At the time, Rarity seemed like the only girl that Sunset could talk about what she’s feeling and maybe able to answer her questions. “Rarity, can I um… ask you a few questions?”
“Of course you can, what is it that you need to ask?” Rarity asked.
“Well… Eh… Would you mind telling me how… yours and Clyde's first time having sex together went?” Sunset asked nervously.
It was now Rarity’s turn to blush as she didn’t expect such a question. She took a moment to clear her throat and looked back at Sunset. “Um well, eh, Sunset dear, where did the interest of our first come from?” she asked. “I-It’s not really something you ask out of the blue.”
Sunset let out a sigh. “Soul and I have… been talking about taking a huge step together this Saturday and I was wondering what it was like when you and Clyde did it for the first time,” she replied. “I’m sorry if I’m intruding on your privacy.”
Rarity waved her hands. “No, I understand completely why you’re asking,” Rarity said. “I certainly was curious on how it would feel when I first wanted to be with Clyde in such things, after all, I knew I wanted him to be my first since I do love him so much.” She then leaned against the edge of the tub and relaxed herself before she started to speak. “You and Soul are planning on having sex?”
Sunset nodded nervously.
“Well, it does seem like the right time to consider doing so. Given that you two have gone out for almost a year now,” Rarity commented. “I hope you’re taking precautions on not being pregnant after words? I doubt you would want to be parents anytime soon.”
“Yes, I have some pills to take before we start,” Susnet replied.
“That’s a very good move,” Rarity commented. “So, you want to know how it was like the first time?”
Sunset nodded again.
“Then I’ll waste no time explaining. Now where should I start?” Rarity said as she tapped on her chin for a moment. “I will say that it would be a little nerve wracking at the beginning but that’s just being shy of being exposed to the one you love for the first time. Try to relax the best you can when he starts to feel around your body. I remember when Clyde was feeling around me.” She giggled. “His hands were shaking quite a bit. Guess it was him just being excited and nervous for feeling my whole body for the first time. If for some reason you’re getting too nervous, let Soul know. He’s a gentleman and he can wait until you calm down. Now when you’re both ready to take the next step, I recommend that you be on top. I’ve heard that it would be less painful when you let it enter you yourself.”
“Would it be awkward in anyway?” Sunset asked.
“Yes, it will feel awkward at first and a little uncomfortable. But trust me, once you get the hang of it, it’ll be very divine,” Rarity replied as her face blushed with her past experiences with Clyde. “What does Soul think of all this?”
“I can’t really say,” Sunset replied. “He was hesitant on the whole thing. Maybe he was suddenly nervous when I brought it up or he wasn’t sure on how to answer me.”
“That is normal reaction for a boy like Soul. Clyde was the same,” Rarity said. “But after he and I had did it, aahhh~ we couldn’t stop ourselves.”
“Do you think maybe I might have brought it up too early?” Sunset asked. “I think Soul might think it could be too early.”
“Well Sunset, I can’t really say that it is too early. I’ve seen how you and Soul act in public, which I believe you two are adorable together. But in private, it isn’t really my place to say. If you both feel that it’s right, you’ll both do it. And if one of you think it’s not, then neither of you shouldn’t try to force it. It’s a very special gift and it’s not one to take lightly.”
“Yeah, you’re right. I guess I’ll see what happens tomorrow,” Sunset said. “Thanks Rarity for the talk. I really needed to get it off my chest.”
“Of course, dear. Anything for friends,” Rarity said. “But um, after you're both have done the act, would you mind telling me about it? I would be very curious on how it went.”
Sunset giggled. “Sure, I’ll give you some of the juicy details,” she replied. “Just not too much of it.”
“I understand, dear,” Rarity said. “..... Oh! And even would you like, I recommend that you bring Soul here. They have a couples spa treatment here and trust me when I say, that it transformed how Clyde and I are intimate.”
Rarity then gave a wink as Sunset blushed violently.
It was now Saturday late afternoon. Soul was driving his motorcycle as he made his way towards Sunset’s apartment. While he drove, his mind was preoccupied about what was going to happen. He and Sunset were planning on being intimate with one another and he was still unsure on whether he wanted to do so or not. He didn’t mind that he was doing it with Sunset, that was never the issue. It just felt like a big step for him and it does kinda go against his beliefs. But whenever he thinks about being with Sunset and doing such a thing, it was everything he could ask for.
Soul noticed that he was getting closer to her home and left his mind for a moment as he went to park in the parking lot. He parked and removed his helmet off of his head to look at the window that Sunset’s room was in. He took in a deep breath and decided that whatever was going to happen, that it was all for Sunset and nothing else…. Maybe a little for him too. He got off the bike and started making his way up the stairs.
He eventually made it up the stairs and pressed on the door bell. Soul whistle for a moment as he waited for Sunset to answer. Then a sudden thought came to him. When did he learn how to whistle? The door slowly opened and when Soul saw Sunset, he’s jaws literally dropped.
Sunset was wearing a silk, crimson nightgown that shined as the light touches it. Her eyes looked at Soul with bedroom eyes and had a small smile on her.
“Hey there, babe. So glad you came,” Sunset said in a seductive voice. “I was beginning to think that you wouldn’t come.”
“W-What? And m-miss out on my best girl in the world?” Soul asked nervously. He was trying his best to keep his eyes on Sunset’s face, but failed as he continued to check her out “I-I see you put on something…. comfortable.”
“Just a little something I gotten for just such an occasion,” Sunset replied. “Also, I hate to say that I do have some underwear underneath it.”
“Oh…. So, I guess you don’t wan-”
“Because I thought it would be a real treat if I let you take them off for me,” Sunset added.
Soul’s heart stopped for a moment as his body began to shut down. The only reason why he was still alive was because his spirit resisted the need to leave his body and wanted to stay. Soul pulled himself together and gazed into Sunset’s eyes. Without saying anything, Soul walked up to her and pressed his lips on hers as he wrapped his arms around her. Sunset wrapped her arms around Soul as well. Soul stopped the kissing for a moment before he started to pick Sunset off the ground which made her squeak in surprise.
Sunset looked up at him as Soul smiled down at her and she smiled back. Soul walked inside the apartment with her and closed the door shut with his leg. After making sure the door was locked, Soul carried Sunset into her room. He gently let her down on the bed and leaned for another kiss before he started to get undressed. Sunset watched him undress in front of her as her face turned red seeing him becoming more and more bare.
Soul was now only in his boxers and before he drop his pants to the ground, he fetched something from his pocket and pulled out a few packages of squared plastics. He placed on the counter and looked to see Sunset with a confused look.
“Soul, you didn’t need to bring them. I said I was taking a pill,” Sunset said.
“I know but my dad mentioned that it would be best just to wear for other kind of protection,” Soul replied. “Like some diseases we could catch and some of the blood that would… well, you know.”
Sunset giggled. “Alright, I can see where there would be a need for them,” she said. She looked at the packages while Soul climbed onto the bed with her before she looked back at him. “Are you really that size?”
Soul blushed before coughing into his hand. “I may have lied to dad about that,” he replied. “I might be a couple of inches less than that.”
Sunset smiled. “Soul, I don't care how big or small you would be,” she said. “As long as it’s between me and you, that’s all that matters to me.”
Soul smiled back at her before he leaned in and kissed her once more. Soul slowly lowered Sunset’s head towards the pillows before he started going towards her neck. He sucked and kissed around Sunset’s neck as she was letting small pleasurable giggles. After that, Sunset tried to reposition herself to where she was on top of Soul and pressed her lips on his before she slowly was kissing him down on his neck and towards his chest.
Slowly, Sunset kept on kissing and sucking around Soul’s chest until she was around his stomach. She lowered herself further on down until her hand reached down towards his boxers. Just as she was about to removed them, Soul got his mind back together and spoke up.
“Sunset, wait.”
Sunset stopped and looked up at Soul with a confused look. “What’s wrong?” she asked. “Was I doing something wrong?”
“No, no, you’re not doing anything wrong it’s just…. I want to talk about this some more,” Soul said. “I… I still don’t know if I’m ready for this or that we’re ready for this.”
A frown formed around Sunset as she sat up and looked at Soul. He sat up and got closer to Sunset so their eyes would be on the same level. “Look Sunset, I think we need to be patient about this,” he said. “I mean, we do have our whole lives together here. And a lot could happen. Like if for some reason that…. we don’t end up together anymore…”
Sunset looked up at Soul with shock. “Soul, how could you say that!? she asked frantically. Tears were developing around her eyes. “What, are you saying you want to break up with me!?”
“What!? No! Never! I never want to break up with you!” Soul replied. “Look, I know that’s something I should never say but I think we need to think of all the possibilities. Like, if we did this and we end up breaking up, we might regret ever of having to do this. I pray to God that never happens, but if it does…. I know I would have regret taking something from you that wasn’t mind to take.”
Sunset remained silent for a moment before making a small smile and gazing into Soul’s eyes. “Soul, I’m giving this to you because you deserve it,” she said. “You’re not just the love of my life but my best friend as well. You’ve done so much for me. You comfort me when I needed it. You brought me back my parents and went through all the trouble to get them. And when we were just starting out dating, you made sure that I would save myself for another time when we were more mature and ready. I feel ready for this Soul. But if you don’t, please tell me and I can wait. Because I love you and that’s what matters to me.”
Soul smiled and hugged Sunset tightly. He gently stroked her hair as she stroke his. The two then gazed at each other once more before kissing. Soul broke off from the kiss and looked at Sunset. “Maybe we are ready for this,” Soul said. “But I think we should wait for a more appropriate time to act on it.”
“Like when?” Sunset asked.
“I don’t know, but I know that now isn’t the time for it. Maybe something more special and meaningful comes into our lives,” Soul replied. “I love you, Sunset and I just want what’s best for us. I promise that we’ll reach this step. Just when something wonderful happens for us.”
Sunset sniffed as she wiped away the last of her dried tears and looked up. “Alright, we’ll wait on something special,” she said. “Well, I guess I should put on something less revealing than this.” Just as Sunset was getting up, she felt Soul tug on her and she fell softly back on the bed. She looked back at him with a confused expression.
“I don’t think so,” Soul said. “I have a half-naked chick here. Now I may not want to have sex with her at this time, but I still want to cuddle up with her. Like it or not, I still like you to be more revealing in bed…. just not too revealing.”
Sunset giggled and leaned over to give Soul a peck on the lips. “Whatever am I ever going to do with you?” she joked. The two shared a wonderful night together with the promise of a future where they would be together in a special way. When the wonderful moment is right for them.
