"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.""

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

"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

"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

"Belle, what is it, did he say he is interested?" She asked her. Belle went silent when she was asked that. This was why she didn't want to let them know about it in the first place but she couldn't keep up with lying about her whereabouts and leaving them worried whenever she went with Ben. At least, noe they would know she is with Ben and wouldn't get worried over nothing, she was going to tell them about the unusual sex pact she was planning on embarking with him. "This is where it gets a little weird." She told them, scratching the back of her neck."He wants me to keep on sleeping with him...." "What?" They both chorused before she could explain the situation further. "Just listen, he says he doesn't believe in love and therefore he doesn't plan on starting anything serious with me but...." She stopped when they were both giving her a non-acquiescent look, their arms folded across their chests. "Come on, hear me out first," She didn't like that they weren't all in on what she
