Later.Belle woke up with suddenly. It made Ben sit up too."Ben," She called when she saw that he was also awake."Yes, I'm here." He held her, "Take a breath.""Okay," she nodded and did as she was asked, breathing in and out slowly. It made her relax and Ben noticed it."Good," he smiled."Talk to me, I'm listening." Ben wanted to know what made her get up with such suddenness."Earlier," She began, leaning back into his arms."Yes?""While we had sex, you said something..." She trailed, hoping he would catch what she was referring to. She didn't want to complete it because she knew he didn't like the topic."I said something? Be specific.""You know, you whispered these words to me...or did you?" She stopped and asked herself, biting her lips and thinking to herself.He didn't know but most of the time they had sex, she always imagined how he was saying how much he loved her while he fucked her. It was something she discovered that gave her orgasm reach a boost, and when he said ‘I
"What are you doing? I thought you were going to stay at your office all night. Don't you have a meeting to be at?""I finished early," he answered all of Belle's questions. "I planned to spend the night with my sister." She thought to inform him."Change of plans then," he put the flower behind her left ear to accessorize her hair. With a smile, he continued."I want to take you somewhere.""Where?""Midnight.""Is that a place?""Yes. Let your sister know you are leaving."****Zina was the one driving Ben and Belle today while the other convoys followed. Belle didn't know where she was been taken till the car they rode in came to a stop.Belle saw a small but bright signboard with an inscribed name on it. It read: MIDNIGHT. Belle quickly recognized that they were outside of a nightclub. She stopped looking outside her window and turned to Ben with surprise."Are we at a club right now?""Yes." She heard him reply before he came down from the car after Zina held the door open for hi
In the car."Do you really love me?" Belle asked once Ben joined her in the car from the other side."What do you think?" "I don't know...my sister doesn't believe it. She probably thinks I was joking when I told her you love me." She shrugged and crossed her leg over his thighs to sit on them while facing him."But I know you love me, I don't think you would say you love me if you didn't." He smiled. Belle leaned in to kiss below his jaw; near his ear. She felt his budge beneath her grow so she laughed in a low voice that could displace him."O my goodness, you are so big, I can feel it.""Thanks to you," she found his voice to be much more hoarse than before."You make me want to ride it right now but no, we are still talking." She readjusted her seating position still on him before staring at him dreamily for some seconds."You are one handsome man, you know?" She smiled."I wonder what day you would love me more than I love you."Ben laughed. He knew she was drunk so he just liste
Morning.Belle's face was buried in the pillows when she heard the sound of a vibrating phone. She lifted her head to see a missed call notification on the screen of the phone.She saw Alex's name on the screen and immediately knew the phone that just rang wasn't hers, it was Ben's. The door to the bathroom opened so she closed her eyes because she didn't want him to think she was going through his phone.Ben walked round the bed to near where she lay. He took his phone from the bed and left for the changing room with it. After he left, Belle opened her eyes and lay there in bed debating if to ask him about Alex because she remembered seeing a call from her once before when he was with her.When Ben returned from the changing room, he was dressed in a grey suit, his tie loose and unknotted. Belle had closed her eyes again to pretend to be asleep till she saw how he struggled with his tie.She went and joined him where he stood in front of the mirror. Placing her hand over his, she stop
Alex sat in the driver's seat of her car with her hands on the steering wheel while she waited for the red traffic light to turn green.She wasn't crying out loud but warm tears streamed down her cheeks. She was trying to stop herself but she couldn't. She wanted Ben and was used to getting whatever she wanted and it didn't matter what or who.She remembered the first few times she started to have an interest in Ben. She was seventeen, he was twenty one. She remembered it was during the holidays and he was taking Jenna to her favorite place but she tagged along.Jenna had forgotten her purse and went to get it back so she was alone in the car with him. From the back of the seat she had called him."Ben?" He had turned his head to her from the driver's side."Do you uhm have a girlfriend?" She remembered hearing him laugh shortly because of that question of hers."No." He had answered."Why are you asking?""I like you." She was a confident girl."You're seventeen.""Doesn't matter," she
The next day. Brie's apartment."So you're telling me that supermodel, Jenna, asked you to be one of her bridesmaids?" Cherry asked Belle."When you put it like that," Belle laughed."I mean it sounds different when you say Ben's cousin asked me to be one of her bridesmaids.""Brie should be here to hear this." Cherry wringed her lips."And I can't wait, I have to be at Jenna's by one pm so I'll have to leave soon." Belle said and tapped on her phone's screen to see what time it was. Doing that, she saw a message notification pop in. It was from an unknown number.She unlocked her phone to see what was sent to her. It was a video. She was about to d******d and view it when her phone rang in her hands. It was Randy. Ben had asked him to go with Belle to Jenna's so he was calling her to let her know that he was downstairs waiting to pick her up."Alright Cherry, gotta go." She stood up and headed to the door."Tell Brie that I will come see her some other time, I might forget to call her.
Jenna's wedding reception. Jenna was sitting beside Jason, her husband while they chatted and giggled with each other on the stage set for the newly married couple.Belle watched them been happy with each other and an unconscious smile appeared on her lips. Meanwhile Ben stared at her from where he sat far from her. They couldn't sit together. Alex had come up with the idea that all of Jenna's bridesmaids have a special seat near the stage and everyone agreed.Belle was talking with one of her fellow bridesmaids when Randy came and squatted next to her."Ma'am," Belle turned in her seat when she heard him."Mr Larkson wants you to join him at his table.""What? Is that why he sent you?""Yes ma'am.""Tell him that I can't come join him at his table!" She whispered loudly."..." Randy paused for a while before talking."Ma'am, he asked me not to leave this place till you stand up to come meet him." "He said that?""Yes, ma'am."Belle looked in his direction and got a smile from him but
"Son?" Belle heard a feminine voice call through the phone. "Mum, is there a problem?""No. It's just that I bumped into a friend of mine and her daughter...""Really?" Ben acted surprised like his mother hadn't done something similar before. He was very sure that she didn't bump into that friend of hers. He was sure that his mother had asked her friend to bring her daughter along for Jenna's wedding so they could be introduced to each other."Listen to me," his mother insisted."I am listening, mum.""Remember you made me a promise. I only agreed to dissolve my anger that day because you said you would make it up to me.""What do you want me to do, tell me." Ben sighed when he remembered that day. His mother was going to harm herself when she found out that he was his father's biological son from another woman, and not adopted like she was told. He had to find a way to calm her down so he made her a promise."You are still in the venue, right? Or did you leave, I can't see you in the
