Sex
Zac walked home thinking about everything and nothing at the same time. He got to his parents house and walked around to the back. He got to his room window and peered inside. Tay was knocked out on his stomach across his entire bed. One of his arms was on the floor the other was hidden under his pillow. Ike was rolled over on his side, facing the wall by his bed. Mac was gone, probably still at one of his friends houses. He looked at the digital clock by Taylor’s bed. It was still before 7am. Wow, Why would someone want to get up before seven and run for 2 hours? God, Jen and Julie are insane!
Zac quietly slid open the window and hoped into his room. He slid the window shut again and walked over to his bed and got under the giant quilt that made up his bedding. He sat, thinking. Two days… two days and nothing else will matter. I wonder if Ike and Tay are making me have a bachelor party? Damn, please no naked girls! Kinda grosses me out. I mean yeah, it’s a naked girl, that’s not gross, but where has she been? Well, who I guess! Shit! I wonder what Jen’s gonna have Mia do? Bridal shower seems out of the question for Jen! That’s like a wolf eating a carrot instead of the rabbit! But male strippers are just wrong! Shit, what if she decides that she doesn’t want to do this! What if she decides that she wants to go and have sex with some other guy! Shit! Wait, why am I thinking about this? Damn! I’m acting like a girl! Why am I all of a sudden so self-conscience?
He let out a half growl half grunt by mistake and Isaac shot strait up.
“What happened? Where’s Zoë?” Isaac exclaimed waking Taylor who threw his pillow at him.
“Shut the hell up!” Taylor yelled at him.
“Dude! What’s your problem?” Zac yelled back pretending to just be waking up.
“Leave me alone!” Isaac yelled throwing the pillow back.
“Dude, dreaming about Zoë? That’s sick!” Zac teased.
“She was getting kidnapped!”
“Why would you wish something so horrible Ike? Man! I thought you were the good brother!” Zac smiled.
“Shut the fuck up Zac!” Isaac yelled throwing his pillow. Zac dodged it easily.
“Guys, both of you should shut up, I was sleeping! I don’t like being woken up!” Taylor yelled burying his face in his mattress.
The room got silent again and Zac went back to thinking. This time his thoughts wondered further into the future, not by much, just a few days. Being Married. The honeymoon. Sex.
“Hey Ike, Tay?”
“huut uuu” Taylor mumbled from his mattress.
“What?” Isaac moaned.
“Well… I mean I know that you have both… well… I was just wondering, cause I mean I… its just…”
“Zac!” Taylor said lifting his head from his mattress, “I swear to god, say it before I murder you!”
“Dude! Leave him alone! He is obviously nervous about asking about sex! I mean ‘I know that you both have’ shit! The one thing that we have done, that Zac hasn’t! He is worried about sex!” Isaac teased.
“Shut up! No I’m not!” Zac said slightly embarrassed.
“Oh my god! Wow! Of all people to be scared of sex I never thought it would be you Zac!” Taylor laughed.
“I am not scared of sex!” Zac yelled back.
“Then what? Afraid you ‘machinery’ won’t work? Cause, us Hanson’s usually don’t have that problem!” Taylor winked.
“No! I’m fine in that department!”
“Then what the fuck is your problem?” Isaac asked.
“Well, I mean, I don’t know! I mean I guess, what’s it…” Zac hesitated, “Like? And don’t laugh!”
“Be Gentle!” Taylor demanded, “Hurts her a whole hell of a lot more than you!”
“Be considerate! Think of her! Not yourself! She will ‘thank you’ for that!”
“Don’t push her into anything!”
“Let it be her choice!”
"Also, she may... How do I say this? Well, it's her first time too, meaning she's a virgin, meaning that she may... Pop.... And there may be blood, but try not to freak out! And it may hurt her! Just do it fast! It'll be over quicker and then it'll be fine! But Let's be honest, she lived with us her entire life! She popped years ago!" Taylor said looking at Isaac trying to make it sound better.
“Take your time! Savor her, it, whatever! You have all the time in the world!”
“If you want it she might not! Remember its 3 weeks and girls have,” Isaac paused, “things’ that happen to them.”
Zac sat and listened as Isaac and Taylor bombarded him with facts and details. He tried to listen and remember all the facts until Taylor said something that felt like a smack in the face when he realized it.
“Are you gonna use something?”
“What?” Zac said his eyes getting wider. Shit! I didn’t think about this! Does she want to? Should I? Why is this making me so nervous? I mean what if she does and I’m not prepared? Or what if I do and she gets mad that I did? I don’t want to have her mad at me! I mean we’ve never had a fight before! I mean yeah, debates on music in the studio, but that’s normal! It doesn’t count! I mean I don’t want this to be our first fight! I can’t let this be!
His eyes were darting back and fourth and his breathing got harder.
“Zac, Zac! Dude! Zac!” Taylor yelled eventually getting up and walking over to him.
“What?” Zac yelled back coming out of his daze.
“Dude! Calm down with the anxiety!”
“Damn it! Dude! I just don’t know!”
“Zac, its Mia, she loves you and you love her! There isn’t anything to worry about! This isn’t like if Tay or I have sex with some girl! Even if we ‘love’ them its not the same! You guys were basically meant to be! There’s nothing to worry about! It will be perfect! I promise!” Isaac told him.
“Thanks” He said looking up at him. Ike nodded, “But if you ever get all sentimental like that again, I just may have to beat you up!”
“And how is HE the mature one getting married and waiting?” Ike told him looking at Taylor. They laughed a bit. Taylor stood up and headed for his bed throwing himself on top.
“Now, if any of you wake me up before noon, I swear I will kill you slowly and painfully! Ok?” Tay said with a glare towards both Zac and Isaac.
“Ok! Well, I’m gonna go and raid the kitchen!” Zac said standing up. Isaac got back under the covers.
Zac quietly slid open the window and hoped into his room. He slid the window shut again and walked over to his bed and got under the giant quilt that made up his bedding. He sat, thinking.
