Semua Bab Love 'n' lust : Bab 101 - Bab 110

Weeks passed, and no one who knew Nathan heard anything from him, neither where they any lead brought to the media's notice from the police.Belle had to deal with listening to her workmates discuss about Nathan every time she went to work, and didn't know how to stop the guilty feeling that kept on recurring so one night, she made a big decision.She packed some of her clothes, together with some cash she had withdrawn earlier, and she decided to leave City S. No words to her sister, Brie, not even Ben, she just left first thing in the morning as the sunset. Leaving her phone behind so no one could reach her, she headed to a small town not so close and not so far from City S. ****"Heyy!" Someone tapped her on the shoulder after she got off a bus that just reached its final destination. She turned around and saw a girl about her age, at least that was what she assumed."You dropped this," the girl handed her purse which she had put all the money she had at the moment into back to h

More time passed than Belle calculated. She had begun to write an article about random things she noticed in the new town she was in, using Zina's laptop.One night, she was asleep when she felt warm breathing near her face. She regarded it as nothing because she was so much intoxicated by her deep sleep.The next morning, she was sitting in front of the kitchen counter, waiting for Zina's pancakes which she now enjoyed when Zina leaned in front of her, elbows holding up her head, she stared at Belle."What are you doing?" Belle asked her with a light laugh."Staring at you?" Zina replied."Yeah, I see that. Why are you staring at me like that?" "Because you are cute?" Zina smiled and then bit her lips."P-L-E-A-S-E," Belle laughed at what she just said."I haven't even gone out in like a month, I must look like a zombie or a vampire and you think I'm cute?""I think Vampires are cute too," Zina laughed with her."Your lips are just..." Zina couldn't take her eyes off Belle's cherry-l

Belle just looked outside the window while seated next to Ben as Zina drove. Once in a while, she would look at Zina and wonder how she didn't know that she was just there to protect her. She was so different now that Ben was with them; she talked less and smiled less even when she managed to speak. Belle sighed.The car drove by the Crisp-TV media house building before they got to her house. Zina came down first and opened the door for her, she looked at the ground while Belle got down, avoiding eye contact with her.Ben leaned by the door frame with his hands in his pocket as he watched Belle after she walked into her room. She stood for some seconds and looked at the bed, her phone was still there, where she kept it before leaving. She went and picked it up then went to meet Ben."I don't want to stay here anymore. I can't." She sniffed."Okay. I will make sure the first house by the media house is vacant by tonight, so you can stay there from tomorrow," Ben told her while holding

Belle was seated at the back of one of the cars Ben came with. She rested her head on his shoulders and enjoyed as he caressed her hair slowly. They were going to a hotel, it was almost night, and Brie decided to stay at the hospital."Thank you, Ben." Belle thought she should say to him."Next time something like this happens, I want you to call me immediately, okay?" He told her instead of a ‘you are welcome’ like she expected."What if you can't help," she sat up and turned to him."There will surely be a way to avert the situation. No problem is unsolvable, it just depends on how you approach it, and I don't want you to approach any problem from now on, let me be the one to take care of that for you.""..." Belle said nothing. She rested on him again but not on his shoulder this time, she laid her head on his thighs and he began stroking her hair again.She suddenly chortled to herself but he heard her."What is funny?" He wanted to know but Belle said nothing in reply. She wasn't

Morning.Belle woke up and Ben wasn't beside her. She sat up and looked around but didn't see him. Falling back on the pillows, she lay back down with a sigh, assuming he had left while she was still asleep.Her assumption was wrong because Ben soon opened the door to the room and came in with a tray in his hands. He kept it on the bed carefully, before leaning into her and kissing her on the cheeks."Is my hair messy?" She asked but Ben just laughed as a response."Glad you've woken up, else I would have had to, brought you breakfast. Thought you wouldn't be in the mood to make yourself something, seeing how tired you were last night.""Tired? I was tired. Did you see yourself last night?" She retorted and watched a smile come on his face. The smile soon became dry before diminishing. Her mind automatically went back to last night and all he told her, she knew that was probably what he remembered to make his smile fade.She stood on the bed and held his face in her small hands like h
