SEX WITH THE VIRGIN MAID

Hera knew the exact moment that Bryce left for work. He didn't stop by her house or anything but she heard his car driving out of the mansion when she had woken up earlier to pray in the morning. The fact that he didn't come to her apartment was enough proof that he was mad at her. She knew deep down that he was somehow upset but the fact that she doesn't know why was eating out on her.

They had just begun talking again so why was he upset? She only mentioned going out with him. It's not like she wanted to sacrifice him or something.

And he had refused to tell her what she did wrong. How was she supposed to pacify him if she didn't even know where to begin?

Placing the already washed dishes in the sink where they belong, she stepped into the bathroom to have her bath.

When she was done, she sluggishly walked into her bedroom and pulled out a simple dress from her closet. She examined it thoroughly before putting it on. It was no longer news to her that her day was already ruined in the worst way possible.

Stepping out of her bedroom, she was about to heat up her food when a knock sounded on her door. She quickly dropped the idea and hurriedly rushed out to open it but was a bit disappointed to see Mariam standing there instead.

"Good morning Mariam." She gave a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Today was definitely not looking up to her as she had hoped.

"You don't look happy to see me." Mariam pointed out conversionally "Were you expecting someone else?" Mariam eyed Hera curiously but she shook her head negatively.

"I wasn't." She lied through her teeth "I just wasn't expecting to see you here so early in the morning."

"I know. It's a matter of great importance." She proclaimed and Hera stepped aside and opened the door wide for her to enter.

"Thank you my dear." She told her gratefully and took a seat on the nearest couch.

"What's wrong Mariam?"

"I need your assistance with shopping for groceries today." Mariam announced finally. Hera, could not believe it. She had thought that something bad had happened and that was why she came to her apartment so early but it was only because she needed help shopping for groceries? "Mariam..." Hera tugged her arm playfully "You had me worried."

"I'm sorry child. I promise that I didn't mean to." She apologized sincerely "Bryce had asked me to do some shopping since he would be busy and I decided to do just that. I'll just need an extra pair of hands to carry them back home."

Hera smiled through Mariam's explanation. She didn't know how much she missed hearing his name until Mariam had mentioned it. "It's okay Mariam. Of course I'll help you but I'll have to eat breakfast first before we go." "That's not a problem. This woman can wait."

Hera left Mariam to heat up her food which she tried her possible best to finish up quickly.

When she was done, his driver had driven them to the grocery store.

Hera was fascinated at how big the store looked. She had never been to one before and she was extremely glad to have come with Mariam otherwise she would've missed out on this.

When they were done shopping, Mariam had left her to pick up something that she had forgotten from another aisle while Hera watched the salesperson wrap up their groceries.

Just then, she felt a light tap on her shoulders. She turned around and is surprised to see the stranger that she had met from the game yesterday.

"Benjamin?" She called out, stunned. She most definitely wasn't expecting to see him here of all places.

"Hello Hera" He flashed her a killer smile that made the dimple on his cheeks visible before proceeding to place the items that he had bought on the counter. "What are you doing here?" She went further to ask.

"Came to do a little bit of shopping." He pointed to the remaining items on his trolley and she nodded in understanding. "I wasn't expecting to see you here though."

His eyes did a sweep of the area as though he was frantically searching for something "I don't see your boss anywhere? Did you come alone?"

Hera bit her lips with a sad smile "I came here with someone else. My boss is at work."

"Oh..." He trailed off "Well Hera, last time we met you left in such a hurry and I didn't get enough time to talk~~ to you. Do you mind if I get your number so that we can talk more later? He requested and reached out for his cellphone in his pockets.

At first she hesitated. Bryce had warned her about not getting close to strangers. But Benjamin is not a stranger is he? And he looked downright friendly. Plus, he was only asking for her number right?

"What are you thinking about so bad?" He chuckled when he noticed that she had zoned out on him. "You've got creases on your forehead" "Nothing." She blinked twice and tried to maintain her composure.

"So what do you say? I'm simply asking to be your friend Hera and that's it." He added.

Hera stared at the cellphone In his hands before taking it slowly. She punched her number into the device and handed it back to him.

"Thank you." He smiled at her and just then, Mariam approached them.

"Hera, I think I finally found the " She paused when she noticed that they were having a conversation.

"Hi ma'am" Benjamin greeted and Mariam replied with a curt nod.

"Hello dear." She took a step closer to the counter "If you don't mind then I'll pay for this and we can go."

Hera nodded vehemently and Mariam immediately set out to settle the bill. When she was done, they picked up the grocery bags from the counter as they made to leave.

"Alright then Hera. Talk to you later." He waved at her and she did same before they exited the grocery store.

"Who's that?" Mariam had asked as they approached the car.

"A friend. I met him at the game yesterday. His name is Benjamin." She primped and placed the bags at the back of the car.

"Oohhh" She muttered a reply.

"Is that everything?" Hera inquired.

"Of course."

"Let's go home then." Hera made to enter but Mariam slapped her head as though she had forgotten something important. "Shoot!" She exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" She worriedly asked as she tried to understand what could've gone wrong now.

"Bryce had asked me to bring a file that he had forgotten to work so we'll stop by at his place before heading home." "His place? At work?" She repeated

"Oh I forgot, you have never been to his company before so we can do so now" Mariam answered gleefully before joining Hera in the car.

Hera on the other hand was in a fix.

Other

She wasn't certain if she liked this new development. Although she liked the thought of getting to see him but for reason, she didn't want to. Not after what had transpired between them last night.
