Chapter3: Forbidden Love

It's a Sunday morning, 6:30am and Sherri could see the sun trying to peep through her window blind. Wow! It looks so beautiful and feels lovely as she thought to herself.

Meanwhile, in her room, she is just lying there on the bed reminiscing over the previous day and everything that happened between her and Frankie. The thought of it brought her memories of her past experiences with different men. In most cases, they where always caring, loving and protective from the very beginning but after a short period of time, it will seems like they're now seeing a different version of her and she becomes unattractive to them all of a sudden, they will treat her so bad that she would wish she never had anything to do with them. Her encounter with men during her younger age was nothing to write home about, it just seems to her like every man that comes her way was just after her body and at a point, she began to think that she was cursed with beauty cause she could remember a man she once dated telling her that he couldn't continue with the relationship because she was too pretty and men will always loiter around her.

Most times she would sit and cry, asking love why she is being treated that way. It got to the extent that she thought love was not for her but each time she steps out, her looks and dazzling beauty will always draw attention to her from different men until she finally decides not to love anymore.

After a long thought, she realized herself and a sudden feeling engulfed her making her so cold inside and making her feel so relaxed that she could feel her cheeks rising and her lips expanding for a smile. She didn't know what it was but the feelings seemed right to her. She felt so tender like a baby nurtured with so much love by the mother, she loved the feelings and everything just felt okay.

What is happening to me? Haven't felt this way in a long while. She asked herself because she couldn't comprehend where the sudden feeling of love was coming from not until she thought of Frankie

No! No!! No!!! He is just my little nephew. She tries to rebuke herself but the feelings wouldn't go away, the more she tries, the harder it becomes. It felt so strong but it's not right she thought to herself, I can't be caught having an affair with my little nephew, what will people say about me, how do I explain this to my sister if she finds out, I was supposed to be a mother to him not a lover, how does he even feel about this, oh my! What is happening to me, I just wish I was dreaming.

As these questions ran through her mind, she had completely lost concentration and didn't know what to do.

Meanwhile, a part of her kept on telling her she had gotten what she wanted, that Frank was the right one for her. Being around him feels so right, it's like the final piece of a puzzle, the feeling of being complete, the feeling of loving someone and being loved, how it feels to be touched by the right man and in the right places, the feeling of being in a place where you're welcomed, that feeling that you want to wake up to everyday, again, she feels like it was her rebirth, it made her so happy as a mouse over a cheese, I think I am alive again, she said to herself.

All this went through her mind as she lay on her bed wrapped in her bed sheets and her pillow squeezed so tight against her two huge balls on her chest, they were so erect like that of a sweet sixteen. Finally I have someone to play around with these balls, someone to tickle my body, someone to adore them in the right way, someone to appreciate this wonderful work of nature, someone that wakes up in the morning and thanks God for having me in his life, someone I can call my own. Oh my! I feel so alive again and I pray this feeling doesn't go away, it's a new beginning for me and I welcome it wholeheartedly.

With all this in mind, it has become obvious that Sherri has made up her mind to give love another chance without minding where the love is coming from, who it was and the consequences behind it, she felt convinced about this one. And she said to herself, now I understand why they said "we find love in hopeless places" this is really hopeless because I don't think it is going to work.

Meanwhile, she is hit with the thought of Frank's reaction and feelings towards her decision, she doesn't know if he will consent to it, she doesn't know if his mind is mature enough to handle it especially with the fact that they are related, how about the age difference? He's just 18 and might think I am trying to take advantage of him.

Oh my! She exclaimed as she thought to herself. What do I do now, she asked. I need to discuss this with him to know how he feels about it, maybe during breakfast. While still in her nightwear, she went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Also, Frank has spent a lot of time in his room pondering over it. Dear God! He prayed in his heart while lying in his bed, I am sorry for the misbehavior, i derailed from mama's teaching and warnings as I didn't know what came over me, I tried but the temptation was just much on me, it showed me what have never seen before, the feeling have never had before, it took me somewhere have never been before, I lost control of my mind and I found myself doing what I never thought I could do. I pray this doesn't affect your love and plans for me oh Lord.

After his prayers, he felt relieved but not as much as he is feeling right now with the memories of the whole thing that transpired between him and auntie Sherri the previous day. What was that all about? He asked himself, could it be love? Is that how it feels to love someone? Why do these feelings seem right to me? Does it mean I have fallen in love with auntie Sherri? She's way much older than me. This can't be happening and besides that, she's my relative and we're not supposed to fall in love. Oh my! I just hope she'll understand how I feel and how sorry I am when I finally get to tell her about my feelings towards her, I just hope she won't report me to my parents because this is not something I can handle all by myself.

Frank really feels terrible and mixed up about the whole situation but unknowingly to him, auntie Sherri feels the same way about him. Am just going to give it time he said, maybe as time goes on, the picture would be clear and I will certainly know if I am really in love with her but how do I even know if this is love when I have never been in love with any girl before. If this is how it feels to be in love then I love it already, the touching, the romance, the kisses, the moaning, the bond that developed out of nothing, where did that come from and why did it happen like I have been doing it all my life. His thoughts of how he handle and played with auntie Sherri's body was surprising to him as he has never done such before, he felt like an expert and Sherri's response shows that she was really feeling it and wishing it never ended even when she couldn't take it anymore, she was still feeling the excitement that came with it. It was a perfect moment for them and the timing was right.

It was already 8:20 am in the and Frank got out of his room, went to the kitchen where auntie Sherri was preparing breakfast

Frank- Good morning auntie! He greeted

Auntie Sherri- oh morning Frankie! She

responded with a lovely smile staring right in his eyes.

He reciprocated and responded with a smile and they both stood and stared at each other smiling for a few moments without saying a word until she broke the silence with a question.

Auntie Sherri- how was your night?

Frankie- it was fine and different from other nights, he responded.

Auntie Sherri was thrilled by the response and decided to know why it was different from other nights, then he went on with the explanations saying "I felt so different, I felt like a burden was lifted off me, I felt so light and slept very easily, I felt like a baby that has no worries about how tomorrow would be, for the first time, every part of me seems to agree with each other, it even felt like I was smiling while I was asleep and waking up this morning, this same feeling engulfed my mind and I could see myself smiling without any reason, seems like my heart is pointed at the right direction though I don't know where it is but it just okay for me. This was my first time feeling this way ever since I was born. I feel mama's love and it's always warm but this feeling was different from that of mom and I must confess, I love these feelings. He could go on and on explaining how he felt all through the night. Then he popped the question, could this be love or was it as a result of what happened last night? He asked as he was anxious to get answers". By now auntie Sherri was already smiling at him why he explained to her and it was obvious to her that her little Frank was feeling the same way she felt. Her heart felt lighter and there was a calmness in her mind knowing that he felt the same way she did about everything. Unknowingly to her that she has stood for minutes even when Frank had stopped talking, smiling and gazing at him while she recurred but his voice drew her attention when he asked "auntie are you okay? Or did I say something wrong?"

Oh no Frankie! She responded. I am okay and you haven't said anything wrong but concerning your question, I don't really know what to say about it but I will think of all you've told me then I will know what to say but before I do, I will ask you some few questions but that will be during breakfast at the table. Alright auntie he responded, then he left saying he was going to wash off but as he walked out of the kitchen, she couldn't take her eyes off him then she thought to herself, where did he come from? Why is he so different from others? Just 18 but already looks like 28, he knows so much that I never expected.

Oh! I just hope it doesn't fade away cause it's going to be as painful as it feels right now, she thought to herself as she continued with what she was doing.

Now at the dining table, breakfast is saved and she calls out to Frank from his room.

He joins her and they begin to eat but while she eats, she pauses a bit to stare at Frank. Then she broke the silence when she cleared her throat, then the conversation started

Auntie Sherri- you said you're 18 right?

Frankie - yes he responded.

Auntie Sherri- do you have a girlfriend?

Frankie- well, I wouldn't say No and I can't exactly say Yes.

Auntie Sherri- how do you mean?

Frankie- I used to have this girl whom I was so fond of and I believe she really liked me but there was no form of intimacy between us.

Auntie Sherri- talking of intimacy, does it mean you have never kissed or have any form of sexual encounter with her?

Frankie - no auntie! We just talk, hang out and play volleyball together.

Auntie Sherri- then where did you learn to do all that stuff?

Frankie- what stuff's auntie?

Auntie Sherri- I mean the way you handled me like you knew exactly what you were doing, the touching, kisses and romance, everything was just right.

Frankie- honestly auntie, I didn't even know what I was doing, it felt like something came over me and took control of my mind, I was just acting based on the instructions from my mind, everything I did was as well a surprise to me, I really felt sorry about it and I hope you forgive me.

Auntie Sherri- it's okay Frankie, I should be the one asking for your forgiveness as I didn't know how to control my feelings and my emotions, I let myself down by trying to take advantage of you, I shouldn't have lured you into it but believe me, I promise it won't happen again.

Frankie- what does all this mean?

Auntie Sherri- it means we're attracted to each other or it could be that we've developed the feeling of love for each other but I don't think it is right because we are related and besides, I am way older than you and it's really going to look bad in the eyes of people if they find out something like this, your Mom will not be pleased with me and i don't think she will forgive, it is all my fault.

Frankie- I feel the same way about it but if it is true, I think I like it and I would have really loved to give it a chance if you don't mind. Frankie reached out to auntie Sherri's hand and held it while looking into her eyes and she seemed so surprised that she didn't know what to say.

Auntie Sherri- Yes Frankie , I wouldn't mind and believe me, I really like you a lot and I hope this will end well just that I am really concerned about your parents.

Frankie- I am worried about all this too, most especially my parents but I think we just have to keep it to ourselves for now.

At this point, they both agreed to give it a chance and see what becomes of it but under normal circumstances, they both knew it is not going to last long as they have so many odds against them, the society, the moral sense, the fact that they are related, the age difference and many more. While they were still holding hands, Frankie stood up and pulled her up, gave her a warm hug and a kiss on the forehead then whispered to her ears saying "I love you and I will fight for it". Her heart skipped as she raised her head and responded "I love you too and I won't let it go" then they looked into each other's eyes and locked kisses.

It feels so right for the both of them but the question is, how long will it last and what becomes of Frank after now???
