There was no safe way out. I wasn’t sure how acting right felt like. I was thinking, Should I call him? Should I text him? Or should I just act normal? I didn’t want to seem clingy, but pretending like nothing happened, felt somehow…you know….We had done it. Casual it seems because he never wanted to define it. So the status was, ‘No labels!’

***

I got worried, and started texting.

***

He was sleeping. I was Googling. He brought the vibes. And I was left with the pregnancy scare. He had left the theater ten minutes ago. No strings. Just the Good vibes.

The divine goddess…Sex. They say sex equals shared experience. No, It doesn’t. Not when I am the one paying for the pills, googling the side effects of contraceptives and doing the math at 2 a.m. While he dreams of nothing, especially not accountability.

I cross my fingers every month and promise God never to fornicate again if I just get my periods, just this one time.

I got ghosted. Blueticks were worse. Not having that conversation about the sin got tart. We were both participants. Even the bed was a witness. It couldn’t withstand the weight of two. His part was done. He had moved to the next chapter. There was never us. I had always been me. I was fooled into thinking that he cared. But care would have meant thinking about condoms more than I asked for them. But then again, maybe he did. But not enough to be certain if he did it inside of me. He didn’t care. Not at all. And not caring becomes easy when the burden is never yours.

I had to be there for myself. I was going to see through it alone. He wasn’t going to be there. Not after getting what he wanted. He walked away. No, he ran. Probably even flew.

Two people had sex. One got to walk away. The other has to clean up.

  Not caring becomes easy when the burden is never yours 🙌🙌...Well said. It is true that the burden is always on the woman. Women should therefore ensure that the terms should be Ialways be in their favor....Alwayssss. If you are not ready for a child then use protection cause the pregnancy scare will be on you alone. Because men can always walk out and you will be the only one who's stuck.

  I looked forward to reading this and it turned out amazing...relatable. I believe it's high time we had these honest conversations, 'like what should you do?' This piece stands out as a call to initiate those hard talks swept under the rug.
