These Men

Those kind of women that are overly paranoid about men. The moment a man smiles at them, they suddenly entertain ideas in their heads that this man wants them. A man can't be nice to these women without them thinking "What does he want?". Why do these women behave this way? Feeling overly excited just because a man happens to glance at them! Some of us would say they are flighty, or seeking attention perhaps. But some of them are...

Three year old Sadie looks around for Greg, her cousin. Sadie, her baby brother, her mother and father are visiting her uncle's and she is enjoying a game of hide and seek with her two older cousins. Caleb is 14 years old and his younger brother Greg, is twelve.

Sadie feels closer to Greg. He pays her more attention, listens to her random chatter about dolls and when Michael her baby brother arrives, he is the only one who still seems to treat Sadie like the baby she's always been accustomed to being. The only time Greg upsets Sadie is during hide and seek because she can never find him and even at such a young age, she is already very competitive.

Sadie steps into the boys' room and she is sure she can hear breathing coming from the cupboard. Excited that she has finally found Greg for once, she creeps up to the cupboard steadily and opens it yelling, "I've found you!". Out comes Greg, sweating and panting. "Good girl Sadie! I thought you wouldn't. Come here".

He pulls her close to him, turns her onto the cupboard and kisses his three year old cousin with unbridled passion. As he crushes his lips onto Sadie's, his hands pinning her little body down, Sadie wonders what her cousin is doing to her. She is scared and his force hurts a little but she knows, loves and trusts Greg so she tries to stay calm and let him finish. While Greg sloppily kisses his cousin, his mother calls for him and just before she steps in the room, Greg lets go off Sadie and acts normal. "Here you kids are. Sadie, your mum and dad are leaving. Greg, come and say bye to Uncle and Auntie". "Okay mummy" Greg replies and bounds off after his mother.

That is the first time Sadie learns not to trust men as she thinks to herself "if what Greg was doing to me was alright, why did he stop so suddenly before Auntie came in the room?"
