Love 'n' lust Mood to kill
"But it's not his fault," she whimpered with fear for Nathan. When Ben didn't say anything after her, she decided to expatiate what she meant."I...I was the one who seduced him, this is not his fault, None of the things that happened were his fault, it was all me." She didn't try to look at him while she spoke."I had too much wine and I did something stupid, he was just visiting so none of this would have happened if I never seduced him.""Why are you trying to save him?" She looked at him now."I'm just saying what really happened and...""Nothing you say would stop me from making him suffer, Belle. He ate from the same dish as myself and that is very unacceptable to me.""But it's not his fault, it's mine," she repeated what she believed was true."There is no fucking way you seduced him, I'm not going to believe that." He wouldn't."But I did, Ben. It was my fault, I am telling you.""Why the hell was he with you anyway, when did he start to visit you, I asked you to stay away fro
Love 'n' lust His visit to her
The next day, Belle got ready for work even if she still feared that something might have happened to Nathan. Ben didn't return to her last night but she didn't call, she didn't want to have to face him again.She got to the office and everything was normal, The few faces she knew were all bubbling with energy for the day, and even Eric kept on using the photocopying machine with her, so she assumed Nathan was in the office and just doing as she asked; giving her space.It made her feel less of the heaviness deep down because she was no longer worried.*****Meanwhile, Alex had just returned to City S from City N. It was some hours since she returned and was just done resting when her cleaner informed her that he was ready to leave.A few minutes after he left, and she was about to head back upstairs, she heard her doorbell go off. Rolling her eyes with a sigh, she returned to the door, ready to scold the cleaner but was surprised by who she met at the door."Ben?" She uttered to show
Love 'n' lust Headlines
When Belle went to her workplace the next day, she saw that everyone seemed to be extra busy. After she entered editor Khan's office, he gave her some prints to arrange and put in order. When she didn't move from where she stood as quickly as he expected, he had to scold her."What are you doing?! Get moving, there's a lot to do, come on." It was then she started to do what she was asked.While sorting out the prints, she saw that they were different top headlines, all of which she had to put in place. She picked up the first print and saw herself on it and an unconscious gasp escaped her lips but she was quick to put a hand over her mouth.It was a picture of her and Ben at the charity event. The headline read;“Mr. Larkson seems to be angry at plus one whom he got the priceless piece for at City N." Belle was only glad that she had a mask on that day as she watched the pic of Ben grabbing her. Keeping it, she picked up another and saw another of her picture, but it was taken on the
Love 'n' lust What did you do to him?!
It was late evening, almost night. Belle sat in her bed at home, her knees up to her chin as she sobbed non-stop. Ben walked in and saw her that way, he felt a somewhat piercing pain inside when he saw her crying like that so he went and joined her on the bed. "What is the matter? Who hurt you?" He began to stroke her hair backward but got an unexpected reaction from her as she sat up so suddenly."What did you do to him?! Where is he?!" He heard her question and now knew what she was crying about.He looked at her, unremorseful and his lashes not blinking but said nothing in response."I just found out today, that he has been missing since yesterday. Is that where you were the other day? What about the cut on your lip, where did that come from?!""Too many questions, Belle." He finally addressed what she was asking."Too many questions? What? You expect me to sit back and fold my hands and not ask any questions?" Belle blinked some of the tears in her eyes away."All through today at
Love 'n' lust Leaving 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
Love 'n' lust Zina
Belle waited patiently all through the day as the girl had a good time sleeping, she didn't think she meant it when she said she would sleep till it was evening time.She was about to fall asleep herself when she saw the girl walk through the beaded curtain with a short towel around her neck which she used to clean her wet face and hair."Look who decided to take a shower," she smiled at Belle when she saw her."Hope you ate something?" Belle didn't give an answer so she smiled more."I would recommend you feel at home, eat whatever you want and you have the bed to yourself while I am at work tonight.""What do you mean tonight, you are taking me to a good hotel right now, aren't you?""Ohhhhh, did I say I would do that?" Belle felt her insides boil with anger when the girl said that."You said you would take me when you were done sleeping," Belle reminded her calmly."Yeahhhh, about that, I have to be at work in the next ten minutes, I'm actually behind time, so that wouldn't be happen
Love 'n' lust A kiss from Zina
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
Love 'n' lust Come back with me to city S
Zina stood still till Ben left for the room to meet Belle, that was when she could finally be at ease. She heaved a sigh of relief and ran her fingers through her hair, thanking her stars that he didn't find out she was feeling something for Belle.She immediately went and shoved down some of the flowers that hadn't completely entered the bin. She had seen the flowers while she was in the cab coming home with Belle, and had remembered Belle mentioning how she loved pink roses so she stopped the cab back then to go get her some but was met with Ben's surprising visit when she made it home.She sat on the couch, cursing herself inwards at how she had forgotten that Belle was in some tangled situation with Ben, and how she was only there to look after her and make sure she was safe.She knew she would lose so much more than her job if Ben got to find out that she was beginning to like Belle so she decided to erase every growing feeling that was in her concerning Belle.*****Late Morning
