The smirk she saw on his face as he stared down at her brought her out of her shocked state. “Fuck!” She cursed softly, trying to adjust her night dress. Apart from the fact that it revealed her cleavage, it was a see-through satin dress. It was almost as though he was seeing her naked. “You knew I was going to come here, hun? No doubt you are prepared for me.” Dan’s husky voice came through. She was almost shutting the door at him when he put his leg, preventing her from doing so. “Get the hell away from here?!” She glared at him, feeling really exposed by the way he was looking at her as though she was a piece of meat, ready to be devoured. “For someone who had hit me yesterday, you’re definitely not being nice to me.” “What the hell do you want? Haven’t you ruined my life enough?” She said with gritted teeth, glaring at him. “How do you even know where I live?” “Why did you turn off your phone? I was worried.” Beatrice chuckled in disbelief. “Wow!!! You must have so much tim
Beatrice stared at Daniel in disbelief. For a moment, She thought he was teasing her but looking him in the eye, she was surprised to see him with a straight face. “What?!” She finally voiced out. “You heard me!” “Have dinner with me, Please.” “Why?” “To apologize to you.” “It’s actually a very nice gesture but No, thanks.” “Why?” “Why are you refusing me?” “So you can humiliate me in public again? That’s never going to happen.” “In as much as your words hurt, I don’t blame you for feeling that way about me.” “You may find it hard to believe but I feel terrible about what I did.” Daniel sighed, tucking both hands in his pocket as he stared at her, most importantly her lips. A small part of him couldn’t help but wonder how they would taste. “I feel more terrible about your job. That’s why I came here myself. To apologize to you.” “And for me to believe that you’ve accepted my apology, I want you to have dinner with me.” “I’m going to be on my best behavior. If that’s goin
“What?” She mumbled, finally finding her voice. “Your man ever commented on your beautiful eyes?” “Yes!” She answered after a while not knowing what else to say. Daniel chuckled. “I hope he told you that you are also a very terrible liar.” She glared at him. “I can say the same about you. You probably say that to every female you meet.” Daniel shook his head. “I don’t get the time to compliment people so I would hold my words to heart if I were you.” “Why should I? You are just saying anything you feel like so I could come to dinner with you.” Daniel sighed, thinking of what else to say to convince her. “Why are you keen on making me go crazy?” “You’re the one that’s making a big deal out of nothing.” “If you had not come to the cafe to grab my ass, I wouldn’t have hit you, I wouldn’t have lost my job, I would be gone this hour and you wouldn’t even be here. My home looks way out of your league so just help yourself out.” “I’m sorry that my actions freak you out but I pro
“Oh, please, Rita! I’ve had enough trauma for today. The last thing I need is for you to add to it.” “I’m not pulling your legs, babe. It seems you don’t know how much Debock is worth. Do you think he would leave his work just to come see you if he’s got no valid reason? Wake up, Sis, this guy is into you.” Silence. “You still do not believe me?” “Okay, tell me anything you remember him saying to you. Word for word and better be sincere!” “He said my eyes are very beautiful and asked if Frank had ever told me that.” “He said he loved his women looking really gorgeous so I should look beautiful tonight at the dinner.” “He said he had never stressed like this over any woman.” “He kissed my forehead before leaving.” “He did what?!” Rita literally said at the top of her voice. “Calm down with your tone, Ri. My head hurts already.” “Sorry darling, but this guy is fucking into you.” “I don’t care, I don’t want him, I need a restraining order!” “Besides, I’ve got Frank!” She add
Sighing, Bea took the phone away from her ear and tried to check the device for messages or voice note notifications. She was hoping to get at least one of those from Frank but not to her surprise, she didn’t see any. She brought herself to dial his number again and see if he was going to pick up. Just when she was giving up, he finally answered. “Hi, baby?!” Beatrice scoffed. She couldn’t help herself. His voice came through as though they were on good terms. “Really?!” She glared at him over the phone even though they couldn't see each other. “What do you mean? Is anything the matter?” “Come on, Frank, you really need to step up your game. Are you saying you are not aware of where we left off last night? You really can do better” “What do you mean? You hung up on me, how is that my fault?” “Wait, do you even love me or you are just messing around with me?” “There you go again, saying all these words!” “You cut the call and I assumed you wanted some space, that’s why I d
Beatrice groaned, slowly changing her sleeping position. “It’s on days like this that I regret that you own a key to my apartment.” “Wake up, Bea! You’re going to be late for your date. It’s already past 4 pm.” “I’m not going anywhere.” She mumbled, with her eyes still closed. “No, that’s not possible! Not when I’m here already. Get your ass up!” She removed the duvet from her body. “Why are you like this, Ri?” She mumbled, slowly sitting up. “You’ve got a date to prepare for. Why are you still on your bed?” “I don’t want to go on any date.” “Stop being a pussy! Go take a shower and let’s start getting ready.” “Stop using vile words to me.” “No! Because you are really being a pussy right now!” Beatrice glared at her bestie who stood just right across her bed with a skimpy gown and with her hands on her hip. “I’m really not in the best mood right now and the last thing I need from you is to bully me.” “If I have to bully you to make you go on that date, then consider it don
“Good evening, Miss Beatrice. Mr Debock requested I come pick you up.” The chauffeur said politely the moment she opened the door. “Good evening.” She nodded, not knowing what else to say, then followed him, hoping anyone who knew her wouldn’t see her or anyone who knew Frank wouldn’t recognize her. She felt her throat go dry when she saw the limo before them. The chauffeur was ahead of her so he opened the door for her. “Thank you,” She mumbled, then entered, comfortably taking her seat. She saw Rita smiling hard as she stood by the door of the house, waving her hand as the driver drove off. Beatrice took a deep sigh, trying not to think of something else but to keep an open mind and to enjoy the night as she promised Rita. After what felt like years to come, the chauffeur pulled up in literally the most expensive restaurant in the city. As far as she knew, it was only the richest of people that dined there and that included celebrities as well as dignitaries. Never had it cros
“Stop putting me in uncomfortable situations, Debock!” “You like that name, don’t you? You’re the only one who doesn’t call me by my first name. At least to my face!” “Just let me go!” “You’re not going anywhere and I mean it.” “Didn’t you notice we are the only ones here?” His statement hit her and then she looked around, realizing that this was a VVIP space but with glass doors. Only when you step outside will you see other people. “You're not going to hurt me, right?” She whispered, looking at him with her pure, innocent eyes which ignited a very strong feeling in his heart. Not only could he see the fear and worry in her eyes. He could also hear it in her voice, almost destroying every nasty thought he had towards her. “You’re too precious to me for me to do that.” “I know you got yourself a man but that’s not going to stop me from giving you your flowers where you deserve them. Besides, you are not married so that gives me all the right to go after you.” “I can hear your h
