This is my first fic with anything more than non-descriptive kissing and hugging in it. So... Go easy on me, please! You won't actually get to the good stuff until the next couple of chapters. So, I hope you like it! Enjoy!
Prologue
Alicia is lonely. It's as simple as that. Every one is getting married or has just gotten married... And Alicia is all on her own.
She can't stand being at home, because her brother's wife Rosalind is there and she's such a control freak. Especially now. She just experienced a traumatic miscarriage, and the whole family is devastated.
Except for Alicia. She saw it coming. She's a fortune teller; what else did they expect? When Rosalind had jokingly asked her if the baby would be a girl or a boy, and whether it'd be healthy or not, Alicia had told her the honest truth.
"Your son is going to die before he gets the chance to see the light of day. I'm sorry," she had said. That didn't go over well with the rest of the family. Rosalind had been so upset, crying and everything for hours. Natalie and Ray were shocked and appalled that she would say such a thing. Of course, they paid no attention to her prediction at first. But when, only a few weeks later, Rosalind went into early labor, they all began to be afraid. They lost the baby, who was dead when he came into the world. Rosalind and Ray were heartbroken.
Anyway, staying at home was just awkward now. She had been living at the inn for the past few weeks. But staying there was also awkward because Ceci was so extremely pregnant with the child of her overly protective husband Jake that if Alicia even looked at the half-elven woman he practically threw her out of the building.
On rainy days, she automatically defaulted to her favorite past time: she would go to Mana's house and hang out with her. But that was before. Now the shop isn't Mana's house. Now, Mana lives with her husband... Kyle. Alicia was so jealous of her best friend's new found romance, upset that she found her happily ever after with the man Alicia had thought that she would be the one to end up married to.
Yes, Alicia had thought she was in love with Kyle. It turns out it was only lust. She had imagined so often what it would be like to be with the handsome red head... What it would feel like for him to touch her, caress her, squeeze her. Kiss her, use his tongue. What it would be like to have his manhood buried deep inside her body... It made her wet just to think about it.
But she could never have Kyle, no. Alicia may not have been the best of women, but there was no way she was going to seduce her friend's husband. And she wasn't going to just give up her virginity- yes, Alicia was a virgin, as surprising as that may seem- to any man. She planned on waiting to give up her precious virginity to the perfect man, on her wedding night.
If that night ever came. But if it didn't, what then? How would she handle that? Alicia was beginning to fear that she would remain a virgin forever...
Little did she know that she wouldn't have to wait very much longer.
Ooooh, the suspense! What's going to happeeeennnnn!?
Read and review, people!
