Is this destiny?

"What are you talking about?" Ade asked Hande when he found his voice.

Hande was overwhelmed with guilt and embarrassment. Why is he asking so many questions?

She turned to leave, and Ade grabbed her hand. "Where are you going? I need you to answer me."

Hande huffed. "How can you deny it? Do you think I imagined it? I clearly felt it, like this…" She stepped closer, cupped his cheeks in her palms, and kissed him, and she made sure to end the kiss with a tiny lick of his lower lip. She cleared her throat and said in a small voice: "Like that…"

Ade licked his lips while enjoying the sweet flavor she left behind before asking: "Hande, do you know how babies are made?"

Hande felt that something is off. Why is he smiling like that? Is something funny? But the topic started and if she can't talk to Ade, with whom can she talk about it?

"Babies are made when people kiss with the tongue. Right?"

Ade hid his laugher behind a cough. Now he knows why JoAnna is here and why the two of them are being summoned to the study. It's to educate this adorable girl who is standing in front of him and innocently expecting an answer. "Uhm… no. No one makes babies by kissing no matter if the tongue is used or not."

Hande was stunned, babies are not made with a kiss? That is how they do it in movies. They kiss and hug and breathe heavily, and in the next scene, the woman has a big belly.

Hande thought that there is a possibility of how they are skipping some parts in the movies, it's highly likely. How else can they show a lifetime in under two hours?

Hande exhaled in relief. Now she can kiss Ade without a worry about getting pregnant, but his answer revealed another mystery she needs to solve… "How are babies made?"

She saw that Ade is not willing to talk and decided to persuade him. "Can you tell me, please?"

Ade thought for some time before showing her three fingers.

Hande didn't get it. "What?"

"How about in three years we talk about it?" Ade suggested.

Hande was not willing to wait. "But I want to talk about it now. How come you know about it and I don't?"

"Hande, I'm sure that Anna will talk about it from the medical point as soon as we reach the study. But the two of us can talk about it in three years, as a couple."

Hande looked at Ade with mixed emotions which reflected on her face and she saw that he offered his pinky finger.

"A promise?"

Ade confirmed. "Yes. A promise that in three years we will talk about it, as a couple."

Hande didn't understand. Why does she need to wait three years for a talk? But she saw that Ade is serious and she has no intention of making babies before she turns fifteen years old, and kissing is confirmed as safe, so she hooked her pinky finger on his. "Promise."

…

"Hello… Young lovers…" JoAnna welcomed Ade and Hande when they entered the room. "Please sit…"

Ade and Hande sat on the sofa and observed JoAnna in silence.

"Sarah is in the kids' room, playing with Alice and Jayden. For the next hour or so, you are mine." JoAnna explained before continuing: "I'm sure you have questions why you are here, and you will get your answers in a minute. If you focus on the screen here…" JoAnna gestured to the television. "We are starting today's lesson which will cover male and female reproductive organs, their function and contraception…"

Hande listened with interest when JoAnna spoke about ovaries, uterus, and periods. She still didn't get her first period, so this part was interesting.

Hande's eyes were widening by the minute when JoAnna spoke about male parts and erection and she glanced at Ade.

"Any questions?" JoAnna asked Hande when she saw that Hande is distracted.

Hande nodded without removing her gaze from Ade. "Is that true? Do you get those erections often? Every morning? And randomly during the day? And you can't control them? Does it hurt?"

Ade hid his face in his palms. He was super-embarrassed.

"You should take that as a 'yes'." JoAnna answered instead of Ade.

"Yes, for which question?"

"For all of them, except for the last one. It does not hurt. Wait, I lied… it can hurt if it lasts for a long time and he does not get relief." JoAnna saw that Hande is confused, and she decided to explain: "It is normal for teenage boys to experience an erection. They have many, every day. Puberty for boys can start as early as eight years old, and considering changes in Ade's body, and that he is fourteen, he is definitely in puberty which means that he has frequent erections, and ejaculation is expected with enough stimulation… If you see or feel a bulge in his crotch area, don't panic…"

JoAnna was explaining to curious Hande and Ade wished that JoAnna stops talking. It might be normal but does JoAnna need to talk about it to Hande when he is present!?

Next, JoAnna moved to talk about reproduction and Hande felt that she is sinking into the sofa. There was a cartoon video which showed how things are working: arousal, erection, penetration, friction, ejaculation, how sperm travels to the egg, how a fertilized egg gets attached to the wall of the uterus, zygote, cell division, fetus… all the way to the birth of a baby.

JoAnna spoke about contraception, but Hande was not sure how much she missed because her head was buzzing. It was too shocking. THAT is how babies are made? And THAT is what Ade wants to talk about three years from now?

"Questions?" JoAnna asked when she finished.

"Uhm… probably later." Hande responded robotically. "I need time to process this."

JoAnna wanted to tease Hande, but she saw that Hande is in shock and she decided against teasing. "The video explainer is on the share, I will send you the location, so you can watch it again if you want… Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Anytime." JoAnna walked to the sofa and touched Hande's chin, making Hande look her way. "I am glad that you contacted me last night about protection, because it reminded me that you didn't have a lecture on sexual education. There is no need to be embarrassed… This is not about sex and making babies. It is about knowing your bodies and how they work…"

…

Hande is not sure how she reached her room. She plopped on the bed and she was startled when the door closed.

"You are here?" Hande asked Ade who closed the door.

"Do you want me to leave?" Ade asked in return.

"No." Hande responded and patted the spot on the bed next to her, indicating to Ade to join her.

Ade laid on the bed next to Hande, and held her hand in his, like many times before. He would hug her, or they would hold hands and talk for hours or sometimes just enjoyed silence, but now there was the topic of JoAnna's talk in the air and it was suffocating.

"I feel stupid." Hande said after some time. "I thought that kissing makes babies and now… I don't know what to think."

Ade turned sideways so that he can look at Hande. "There is no need to think about it. We will revisit the topic in three years. Until then, we can enjoy the fact that kisses are harmless."

Hande looked at Ade and smiled. "Thank you for not teasing me."

"Why would I tease my girlfriend? There are so many other things I would rather do with you." Ade said cheekily.

"Like?"

Ade thought for a second before responding: "I would rather kiss you."

Hande licked her lips. "OK."

In Hande's stomach butterflies rampaged while Ade inched lower, and she held her breath when his lips brushed against hers.

Hande's arms snaked around Ade's neck and she returned his kisses and it was wonderful.

A few minutes later, Hande noticed that Ade shifted his lower half of the body away from her.

"Do you have an erection?" Hande asked between kisses.

"Yeah." Ade admitted.

Hande smiled. She remembers from JoAnna's lesson that men get aroused when they are sexually attracted to a woman, and the fact that Ade is aroused… doesn't that mean that he thinks that she is attractive, as a woman?

"I'm glad…" Hande voiced her thoughts before adding in a serious voice: "But if you get aroused with another girl, I will be angry."

Ade hummed in agreement. "Only with you." And then he kissed her again.
