Love 'n' lust Arriving the party
"Is it always like this for you?" She asked, her voice more audible now than initially."Do you always have to evade the press like this?""Sometimes." He answered her question just before his phone began to ring in his hands, it was Jenna. He picked it up and put it to his ear."Are you really going to come?" Jenna's voice cane through and he thought she sounded worried."I will.""Really?" She sounded like she already concluded he wouldn't be able to come."I will, Jenna.""When? When will that be? I can't have my friends waiting, it's almost one o'clock, it's not even gonna be brunch anymore by then." She complained."Don't have them wait for me, you should start the party, I will join it when I get there.""Are you at the office?""No.""Thank goodness, now I know you will really come. Once you are at the office, you usually don't want to be disturbed." She said making him chuckle."I will be there in thirty minutes time or less, okay?" "Okay." Jenna said before hanging up.Ben tu
Love 'n' lust She's so lucky
"Please, the party's over here." Jenna said and started towards where she just pointed and Ben followed with Belle by his side."O my god, it's Ben Larkson!" One of the ladies there informed her friends the moment Ben walked towards where the little crowd were. He didn't mixed with everyone, he stayed at a safe distance with Belle because although many of the guests present were elites, they were some who were willing to overstep their boundary when it came to him(Ben)."She really did convince him to come like she said she would." Another person said as they all looked on, some with drinks in their hands."Who's that with him?" Whispered questions started to arise among the little crowd."Yeah, there's a lady with him.""I'm sure it's just a model he hired for today.""No, I don't think so, I've not seen or heard of her before.""She might be an upcoming model, look at her skin, she has to be a model to have such clear skin.""And she's with Ben Larkson.""I know right, lucky her.""
Love 'n' lust Love is pain, love is stupid
"Thank you so much for coming to meet him, Ben." Jenna said when they were both about to get into the car they came in. Jason smiled, genuinely this time."Don't tell your mum about her." Ben said to her. He didn't want her to converse to her mother, his aunt about Belle because then, his aunt would talk to his mother and she would want to delve into the matter and find out about Belle and what he had with her and most predictably beg him repeatedly and non-stop to start something serious with Belle and he couldn't do that.He didn't want any of that to happen and Jenna not telling her mum about Belle could stop all of that from happening. He knew and could see how excited Jenna was when he arrived with Belle, she probably assumed he had already started something serious with her and was only keeping it secret but that wasn't the case.When the car started to drive out of the yard, Belle decided to ask him what she had in mind before she forgot."Ben?""Hmmn.""Uhmmn....""What is it?
Love 'n' lust I don't love you
Both seated inside a different restaurant from last night, Ben watched Belle devour the dish in front of her. He couldn't stop smiling because it had been so long since he sat with someone, a woman who was willing to be as free as belle was as she ate the spaghetti she ordered.She didn't even remember he was there with her, the food was delicious and she was hungry, that was all she knew as she ate on. She sucked in a strand of spaghetti into her mouth even though her lips were pressed together. Some spaghetti sauce stained her lips when she did that so she reached for the table napkins at the middle of the set table and that was when she remembered Ben was sitting with her.Her right hand on the napkins like she was frozen, she looked up slowly and he was smiling, that genuine smile that she had noticed was rare and scarce to the public. She became grateful that there was no one else sharing the part of the restaurant where they sat with them, it was a reserved spot.Her eyes still
Love 'n' lust Don't fall in love with me
"You are beautiful Belle, very, very beautiful and I can't get my mind off you even when I try, many would mistake that for love but not me Belle because I know it's not love, it's not, I don't love you, I'm just sexually attracted to you, if love is a true thing then I am in love with your body." He said in what he thought was the simplest way he could explain his attraction to her. Belle just stared at him as he went on, she didn't believe he would actually say what he was saying. She had seen it coming, she had read all about him and his dislike for the topic of love. She knew he would say what he just said before now. He had told her during her interview with him that he wasn't a romantic. "Okay." She just said and picked up her glass of water in front of her, taking a sip from it. "Okay? Is that what you are going to say?" He had to admit, he was surprised at her response. "Mhmmn." She nodded, dropping the glass and looking at him. "Really?" "What do you want me to say?" She
Love 'n' lust No strings attached
"I like the way you are now, uncaring that I don't love you, we are better like this. Let's just have sex whenever we want too but let's do so with no strings attached.""Okay, I get it, no strings attached." Belle said again. She could listen to this man holding her, talk all day and agree with whatever he said."Alright then, let's go shopping." He held her and they headed out.The were still in the driving car, both in their own thoughts when Belle's phone started to vibrate in her purse. Ben looked at her to try and know why she wasn't picking up her phone as it rang on.He realized that her mind was lost, so he called her back;"Belle.""Hmmn?" She turned to him sharply, disengaging from her far thoughts."Your phone seems to be ringing.""Oh." She open her purse to get the phone out but it had stopped ringing.She checked on her notification block and saw who it was, calling her. It was Brie, her own cousin who had called her for the twenty seventh time. Belle's phone has been
Love 'n' lust Taking her Shopping
Are you okay?" Ben thought he should ask her because she looked distressed about the call she just had."Yeah." She nodded before putting her phone back in her purse."You are such a horrible liar, if you should know." He said and she looked up from her purse at him.He was right, she wasn't okay, she was worried and he could fish that out."You should have just said; I am not okay but I also don't want to talk about it." He said again before looking away from her."You don't have to tell me what the problem is, I mean you are not obligated to, we are not a couple now, are we. Just let me know if I can help."After that, the car became silent till they got to a boutique. As she was used to him doing since she met him, he got down first and came for her.His hand around her tiny waist, he walked into the boutique with her and she couldn't help but wonder what this man wanted. He had just told her earlier, back at the restaurant that he didn't love her and that he couldn't but here he wa
Love 'n' lust Taking her Shopping 2
"Ma'am, please try this." The man who had been helping her took out one of the packaged dresses in a bag and showed it to her. "My size?" She asked because she couldn't tell while it was still in the bag. "I think so, ma'am." The man replied so she took it and went to changing room to try it on. "It is my size." She confirmed as she walked out wearing the dress. It was a red short sleeveless dress and it accentuated her toned shoulders and her slender neck. The man thought the dress was made specially for her considering how much it fitted her and matched her beauty. "Are you taking it, should I add it to the list of things you want?" "Yes, it's look great, I love it." "So, ma'am, I think you should try this one next, it will certainly look good on you, just like the others did." The man said, taking out another bag(packaged with a jumpsuit). "No, that's enough. I don't want to try anymore clothes, just this ones are okay, I think." "Just these?" Belle heard Ben and turned to
