Consumed By His Burning Lust

"Do you like Bryce?"

Hera chuckled and with her fingers, she jabbed the older woman's thighs playfully "Oh come on Mariam. Yes I do like Bryce. I mean I like him as a friend. Is there any other like apart from that one?" "Actually there is." Mariam responded leaving Hera astounded "There is another like apart from that one."

"What type of like is there? Back at the Convent, we were taught that you can like a person as friends and also as a married couple but I think the latter should be love and not like." She spoke carefully as though she was trying to remember everything that she had been taught. Deep down she knew that she likes Bryce but she also knew that she likes him as a friend.

Although lately, the strange feeling at the pit of her stomach whenever he is closer to her makes her thinks otherwise. The feeling cannot be described or simply explained by words.

"Well, you can like a person as friends but you can also like a person as lovers as well. It's called showing affection which is bigger than the one accorded to people whom we consider as our friends."

Hera crunched her face in confusion. "I don't understand anything Mariam. I'm already confused as it is. Isn't the both one of the same thing?"

Mariam laughed heartily. How is it possible that a woman like her still exists? It baffled her all the damn time. Though she was an adult but she has the mind of a child. It's very cute but also at the same time, very frightening for someone her age.

"Let me ask this more appropriately so that you would understand me better my dear." Mariam placed the tray on the stool beside her "Do you feel strange whenever you're with Bryce? Do you feel something, anything at all when you're alone with him?" Hera thought about the question for a while.

Yes she always felt something whenever she was next to him but she had thought that they were normal feelings that one is supposed to have for a person you consider a friend.

And recently, she had found out that she always gets sick whenever he kisses her. Not really sick to the point of taking medications but sick to the point of having an invisible fever and a flutter in her stomach.

And moreover, she always enjoyed his company. He always listens to her and made sure that she was okay so why won't she like him?

Staring at the older woman directly in the eye she spoke "I do feel strange." She responded truthfully "Whenever I'm with him, I always get nervous and I feel like my heart is about to explode. Sometimes, it feels as if I'm about to suffocate but in a good way." She explained with a small grin "Is it a bad thing? I wanted to ask the sisters about it but I don't know exactly how I'm going to considering the fact that we haven't had such conversations before."
