5 SEX EDUCATION

I got into our house, right behind my father. For the first time in forever our house looked new...

I coughed faintly and my dad turned around. "go freshen up" he said still with the smirk on his face. I was really nervous. I couldn't help but ask "dad? is anything the matter?"

"yes" he said without looking up as he was trying to arrange the fancy stone decor on the middle table in the house.

I hurriedly went into my room. I had my bath and comb my thick un relaxed hair. I tried to force it into a bun but it's still short... In thirteen years I've cut my hair about fifteen times but now I've decided to let it stay forever. Plus dad likes long hair.

I've started getting advancements from guys; I touched my boobs and tried to look at my butt...

pftt. Silly me. I searched my drawer and brought out a pair of sweat pants and a small crop top with a writing just in front. "I love my dad". I didn't like how the sweat pants turned out on me so I changed into a skirt and then another skirt, a blue plain trouser and finally I changed into a Jean trouser. Perfecto!

I touched my face and turned around looking at my reflection

I loved myself. full of confidence I walked out to meet my father setting the table for us to have lunch. He made beans and plantain before coming out to pick me up from school. I love you dad. I sat down and my nerves seems to have relaxed a little. he served the food and we ate quietly. In between I'd take a peek at his food, then his face and the focus in mine. The silence was defeaning.

"dad should I get us bread or garium to compliment the beans? "

I said. he looked up and and said "no thanks" he smiled and continued it. I lost my appetite and dropped my spoon.

"Dad can we talk?" I asked biting my lower lip

"finish your food first" he said still not looking up. I got tensed. I felt this rush of emotions and i got up as I yelled " enough dad! can you just talk to me?" he looked up and I saw the tears in his eyes. I felt terrible, how disrespectful of me. I bit my lower lips and sat again. "I'm sorry" I wanted to rip my throat out. I couldn't even look at him. "I've lost my appetite " I said again without a response from him... I blinked severally as I tried to force down the tears forming in my eyes. I got up and walked into my room. I made sure not to lock the door as I laid on my bed feeling exhausted.

I slept off...

It was few minutes passed 7pm I heard my phone ring. I checked it. A private number ? not interested.

I walked downstairs and i saw my dad lying on the couch. I walked to couch and sat on the small stool in front of the table. The house looks really clean. dusted Black upholstered chairs, white paint, white curtains,mopped black tiles formed in a triangular pattern and white tiles surrounding the black and four small grey stools.

all dull.

Thinking of how clean the house is I didn't realise his eyes are wide open staring at me.

"My queen" he said calmly. "dad" I blinked and continued " I'm sorry for yelling at you and being suspended and all"

he smiled "about the stain on your skirt ..." he looked into my eyes and continued "you're a woman now. It's your period.I didn't know how to tell you before. I was thinking about it. I was confused. forgive I've never looked after a child my whole life. I thought before you get to this stage your mom will change her mind and maybe do the honors." he smiled his eyes tearing. a little. he blinked as I tried to stop him "dad..its..." e cut me off

"wait... I love you. I dont think I've trained you well. I feel you miss your mother and that you need her. you're a woman now like I said". I was about to talk again and he shut me up with his hands on my lips. he hugged me tight. "I know you hate it when I lecture you. but we have rules now" I smiled and released me. "you'll have to be reserved now. mind who you hangout with. no late nights. no boys coming over. nothing. face your studies. I dont know how to convey the message but no boyfriend and no sex until you're twenty." I swallowed 'cause I already have a boyfriend and we've kissed. I better tell him now. "dad there's something you need to know" I shut my eyes and opened them "tell me" he said with a frown. I swallowed again. how am I supposed to tell him I have a boyfriend and also I've had my first kiss. "uhm dad, I uh... I didn't know periods come this way. I thought i was sick. so if its periods i need pads." I said calmly

"yes you do and I already got them and you'll burn the stained pants stained too they must be infected already..." I nodded and smiled. making up my mind to break up with Lucas the moment I got to school. yea Lucas is his name. my boyfriend.

after a while I asked him if mom has called. he said no. I asked if he missed her and he said so much... I felt pity for him. I'm a hand full and he tries to do it alone. I know mothers are superhumans what about Fathers... "I made us pineapple juice" I said as I dropped it on the dinning. He joined me. he changed the topic to how I'll spend my suspension in the house. things I'll do and things I won't do.

I went to bed and had a dream. A strong dream more of a nightmare
