“Good morning, Stella,” Felicity greeted with a yawn. She grabbed some clothes from another room and disappeared into the bathroom. Shortly after, she came out, all set.
Stella pushed a glass of soy milk toward her and inquired in a hushed tone, “Where’s Vermont?”
“He went back to sleep,” Felicity replied.
Stella pursed her lips and finally asked after a moment,” How’s Vermont’s condition?”
Felicity let out a sigh. “It’s still the same. You know, we share a bed, but his member doesn’t respond to me at all. The doctor suggested surgery, but Vermont is dead set against it, claiming it’s too risky. But, I think, since he’s already living on the edge, what’s the extra risk? He could just continue living the way he is.”
Stella did not know what to say. Her best friend had a remarkably open mind.
“So, are you considering giving up on treatment?”
“I do want him to get better, but it feels like he’s resisting,” Felicity confessed.
Stella found it peculiar. Vermont was still young, so it was odd for him to reject treatment when he had a condition like this. If he was naturally indifferent to ***, that would be one thing. But, taking his history with so many ex-girlfriends into
consideration, he did not seem like the type to just let himself be.
Stella furrowed her brows and asked in a hushed tone,” When exactly did he start experiencing these issues? Did it suddenly happen, or was there an accident?”
Felicity hesitated for a moment. She glanced toward the room and whispered, “I’ll tell you, but promise me you won’t spread it around. Vermont cares a lot about his pride. If word got out and bruised his ego, he’d find even more ways to make me cater to him.”
“Why on earth would I go gossip about this?” Stella assured her. She would share a bit with Keegan, but Keegan was tight -lipped and would not spread it around.
After fidgeting for a moment, Felicity continued in a low voice, “Well, I’ll tell you the truth. It was when I accidentally burned him while I did the cupping for him.”
“What? How were you involved?”
