Chapter 166

Chapter 166 Unexpected consequences

“Doris! What on earth are you doing out of bed?” Beth tore Doris out of her half sleep and into the blinding daylight. She felt as if a cloud was all around her and fogging up her vision to the point that it was hard to focus on her friend. “How long have you been on this lumpy couch?”

Doris sat up when Beth helped her. “I woke up sick again. I feel so nauseous and dizzy all the time, so it kept me awake.”

Beth froze for a moment until she lightly seated herself next to Doris. “I’ve been meaning to ask you about your symptoms.”

“I don’t think I was poisoned”

“No, no. That’s not what I’m concerned about.” Beth cleared her throat. “Have you and William been intimate yet?”

Doris felt her cheeks flame instantly, as well as a bit of shame swell up inside her chest to the point where she wanted to choke. Beth quickly silenced her. “You don’t have to say anything. I just want to know if you were… careful during those times.”

A new sort of panic formed to replace all that tried to scare her before. “Careful?” Doris whispered.

“Yes… with protection…?” Beth said gently as if she didn’t know how else to explain without going into gory details that would make Doris melt into the floor. 1

It was like all their heated moments flashed before her eyes and one thing was missing. One obvious thing that made her want to scream. Doris dropped her head in her hands. “How could I be so stupid?” She mumbled. 2

Doris’s mother had never taught her the first thing about sex or when to be careful, she learned all of that from books but somehow her mind didn’t consider the consequences for her own actions in the heated moments. Why hadn’t it crossed her mind once? Why did she live so blissfully in ignorance to her consequences? 1
