"Today is declared an unscheduled holiday," came the speakers voice suddenly. Jonas and Lily looked at each other, supressing their happiness. Lily went off with a few girl who looked to be Tens. Jonas could guess that they were going to teach her how to ride a bike.
Jonas rode through the community, and after getting into a little fight with Asher he was trying to figure out where he could go. He somehow wandered in front of the Annex Room. Jonas desperately wanted to go in, but feared that the giver would turn him away.
He took a deep breath, waving slightly to the secretary, who didn't really pay him no mind. When he entered he saw red and pink paper shaped oddly on the table.
He picked one of them up tracing the design with his fingers. "They're called hearts," said a voice from behind him. He turned to the Giver with a small smile on his face.
Jonas' eyebrows rose, "What are they for?" "Mostly decoration, some are used as gifts. I like to look at them this time of year."
Jonas looked at the bouquet of flowers, candy, and then something caught his eye.
It was black, and so soft. It looked to be clothing, but it could never be permitted
To be worn in the Community. "What is this for?" The Giver seemed slightly embarrassed, "It's called lingerie, in distant times women wore them for men on special
occasions." "Like when?"
"Well, there used to be a holiday called Valentine's Day to celebrate that kind of love."
"Like Christmas?" "Not really Christmas is more for family, and Valentine's Day is more for lovers." "What are lovers?" "It's when a man and a woman are together. Like husband and wife." Jonas stared blankly at the Giver. "Lie down I'll show you." Jonas laid on the bed, and felt the Giver's hands on him.
"I'm going to give you the memory of a honeymoon." Jonas found himself in a big luxurious room a lot like the Giver's. Plush bed, velvety drapes. Then a couple came into the room the woman wearing a puffy white dress, and the man a black suit and tie.
The man sat the woman on the bed. Jonas then saw them do something with their mouths, and he perceived the word-kiss. The man's hands moved to the back of the woman's dress, and Jonas felt a wave of anticipation.
When they were both nearly disrobed Jonas' eyes studied the woman's features. Her breasts jutted out, and he saw the notch between her legs. The man kissed and sucked down to the space. And the woman put her fingers in his hair. She groaned, and gave light screams.
At first Jonas thought she was in pain, but the smile on her face proved him otherwise.
The man moved his way back up to her mouth, positioning himself between her legs.
Tears leaked from the corners of her eyes, but after the man moved back and forth for awhile the woman's smile returned.
In what seemed to be an hour or two they both let out a low scream.
Jonas found himself back in the Annex Room, and he felt a pleasurable tingling in his pants. A smile came to his face, and he jumped down to find Fiona.
