Love’n’Lust

Morning, the next day.

“Did you think about it?” Ben leaned against the wall with both his hands in the trouser pockets as he watched Belle arrange her hair.

“Think about what,” she dropped her hairbrush and turned to him.

“Please tell me you gave a thought to what I told you last night.”

“Be direct, we talked about quite a lot yesterday,” she started to put lipstick on her lips while facing the mirror again.

“…” Ben scratched the back of his neck and bit his lips because he knew that she remembered what he was talking about.

“Alright, I’m ready.” She stood up from the chair in front of the mirror.”Will you drop me off at my sister’s or will someone else take me?” She asked, walking past him after picking her purse and hoping he followed like she wanted but he didn’t. Ben pulled her back by her waist and he did it so easily, it made her wonder if to do a weight gain diet so he couldn’t do that anymore.

“Please?” Be didn’t let her go after bringing her back to himself. His arms around her waist still, he looked her in the eyes like to hypnotize her.

“What are you doing?” She laughed when she noticed what he was doing with his eyes.

“Trying to hypnotize you to go home with me; I know you knew what I was talking about just now.”

“I can’t repeat a situation twice, especially one within my control. The first time I met your mother, I was unprepared but I don’t want that to happen again.”

“You don’t have to prepare for anything.” He told her something he was sure he repeated to her ears yesterday when they first talked about it.

“Says who?”

“Me?”

“The first time I met her at Jenna’s wedding, I was wearing this not-so-decent dress…”

“Your dress was perfect that day.” Ben told her but she shook her head.

“Don’t you remember? It had this long vline that went from here…” She turned around and pointed at her upper back.”… all the way to my lower waist… and I wasn’t wearing a bra or anything and we had just fucked that day, my nipples were out like that…”

“You’re just exaggerating things,” he had go stopped.

“What if she thinks I’m a whore?”

“My whore,” she heard him say.

“What?” She feigned anger with her question but he only laughed.

“You told me you would think about it,” he went back to the main point.”and you didn’t even give it a thought, at all.”

“I did, and I decided that I won’t see her till I’m ready. I’m going to visit Brie and after that, I’ll just come back home and have a good time rest. You better pick up when I call to check up on you after you get home.” She told him and wanted to walk out again but like before, he pulled her back.

Even if she didn’t like how easy he usually brought her back to himself, she liked how he always put him arms around her waist after.

“What if I offer a bribe,” she heard him.

“What?” She snickered, wondering the bribe he had in mind could possibly be till he leaned in and kissed her briefly. When their lips separated, she raised a brow.”Hold on, was that… was that the bribe?” She asked with a light laughter accompanying her voice.

“It wasn’t enough?” She heard him ask with a serious face before leaning in to give her another kiss. This time, it was deeper and wetter with his lips savoring hers.

“Mmmn,” he heard her and knew she was now drawn in so he suddenly stopped, leaving her wanting more. Belle opened her eyes which she had closed while they kissed.

“So?” He asked her. He just wanted to hear her say she would go with him.

“Come here,” she put her arms around his neck and kissed him more; that was what she wanted at that moment. When she was done, she bit her lips and looked at him for a minute.

“Okay, why do really want me to go with you?” She asked to know if to change her mind.

“You’re the only one that can divert her attention from me.”

“What?” She wanted to understand better.

“You know… if I take you back with me, she will forget that I ever left the way I did because she will be so indulged in you, and getting to know you and all of that.”All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“You’re scared of her scolding you?” Belle laughed.

“Don’t put it that way,” he laughed with her.

“… but what if she asks questions that I’m not prepared to answer, huh? What then? You’ll have to help me out.”

“She won’t, she already asked me most of those questions after you left to the bathroom that day but even if she does, I will help out.”

“Wait, what do you mean she already asked most of those questions that day, what and what did she ask about?” Belle got anxious.

“How we met…”

“What did you say?”

“We met at a hotel for a meeting,” he smiled after watching her exhale peacefully over the answer he gave.”We met at a hotel for a meeting and we fucked after.”

“What?! Did you tell her that?” He saw her eyes fall on him like they were ready to burn him alive.

“No, I’m just kidding.” He laughed and saw her roll her eyes.

“What else did she ask?”

“Why don’t I tell you on our way there,” he smiled charmingly, hoping she smiled back.

“I’m going to go see my sister first,” she told him her decision.

“…”

“And please, you are going to wait for me in the car. I feel like Brie is going to burn the place down if she sees you.”

“Then car sex before we drive to my…”

“No.”

“No? You want that,” he knew she did with the way she kissed him back.

“I do but not till you recover. I’m going to see my sister as briefly as I can them we will go see your mum.”

“If the doctors run their tests and check on me, and I am cleared as healthy before tonight…”

“I’m not going to agree to that; you could just ask them to…”

“Noooo, I can’t do that to my health.” He made an innocent face but she just shook her head.

“Let’s go, come on.” She took his arm to head outside.
