I took out the small Durex packet from the brown paper bag and handed it to her.
She opened it and took out one of the three sachets inside. ‘It’s squishy,’ she said, squeezing the sachet.
‘Yes, because of the lubrication.’
‘It has lubrication?’
I smiled as I took the sachet from her and opened it. Like a diligent student, she sat up to observe how I wore the condom.
‘Does it hurt when you wear it?’
I smiled and shook my head. I pushed her shoulders back and made her lie back.
‘Is this going to hurt?’ she said.
‘It might. I’ll be gentle.’
She clutched my shoulders tightly as I eased into her.
‘Ow!’ she screamed in pain. Her nails dug into my shoulders.
‘Are you okay?’
‘Yes,’ she said, breathing heavily.
‘Okay.’ I stayed still for a second, kissing her gently to soothe her.
‘I can feel you inside,’ she whispered.
‘I can feel you too.’
She held me tight.
And a magical few minutes later, we lay next to each other, breathing hard, totally spent.
‘So, it’s all done now,’ she said after a while.
‘Yeah.’
‘I’ve had sex …’
‘Yeah.’
‘Wow. I, Payal Jain, am no longer a virgin.’
‘I guess not.’
Was she going to freak out on me now?
‘How are you feeling?’ I said, turning on my side to look at her.
‘It hurt a bit at the start, but it felt good later.’
‘And?’
‘Don’t worry. I’m fine. How are you feeling?’
‘I’m feeling too many things. A bit overwhelmed.’
