Love’n’Lust

11:49 a. m, late Saturday morning and both Brie and Cherry were still sleeping like logs of woods. Belle was the one to drag them home early this morning. She was frankly still surprised at herself, how she got them home.

They had gotten dead drunk at the club through last night and this morning but luckily Belle was not drunk like them.

She sat alone in front of the kitchen counter sipping some hot tea, her phone on the table. She wanted to search about Ben Larkson.

“Ben Larkson.” She searched and the many results immediately popped up.

“Current CEO of the Larks group of companies. Adopted only child to late Benard Larkson and Roselle Larkson.” The information on the first icon she had clicked on was brief. She tapped on the second icon expecting a broader information.

“Find out about multi Billionaire, Ben Larkson and don’t forget to tell us your thoughts on the comment below…..

Mr Ben Larkson named after his late father is the only son to Mr and Mrs Larkson. Born on October 30th 1993, he is 29 years old. He was adopted when he was still young, his age then is unsure of.

He is single and not looking for love, as we all remember he had said so himself once in front of the live cameras at an online interview.

This bachelor took over as head to the Larks group of companies at a young age of eighteen after his father passed away.

Hope you enjoyed the short biography of Mr Larkson which we could put together. Don’t forget to leave your comments and thoughts.

Belle scrolled down and there was no more news about him. She knew some of the things written here about him, they were some of the things she had asked him almost a week ago during the interview.

One thing stuck to her mind In all that she just finished reading; he is single and not looking for love. She wondered to herself why she was waiting for his call, if he wasn’t one who believed in love. She chuckled, sadly. He had told her himself during the interview, she should not have expected his call that much.

She was so glad now, that she had not yet said a word about him to her roommates, it would have been embarrassing not to receive a call from him after she said he would call.

**********

Later that day. 8:27pm.

All three girls sat in their night wears in the couch together. They were all talking and laughing loudly while they watched a romance soap opera, they usually watched by 8 O’clock every day.

“How can she be that stupid not to notice that he is using her, I mean it’s so fucking obvious!” Cherry said when the female lead of the show forgave the man she loved after he cheated on her.

“It’s just a movie series Cherry, relax okay?” Brie said laughing.

“But you know they should not be acting bullshit like these, who in the fucking hell forgives someone after they cheat and lie and even abuse them?!”

“They will surely have a reason for acting it this way, maybe she will finally leave in the end, who knows?” Brie said still laughing, she found it funny unlike Cherry who was very pissed.

”Love can be pretty stupid sometimes.’ Belle said.

“Stupid and messy, it’s why I quit on love, it ain’t worth it, you sacrifice your all and go all in but it only breaks you. I don’t even know how people are willing to stay long enough in a relationship to want to get married.” Cherry said.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“I plan on finding love again someday,” Brie shrugged. “not now though, when I’m done building my career. What about you Belle?” Brie asked her.

“I don’t know, if love comes to me, then I will surely hop on the ride.” She smiled.

Belle’s phone began to ring loudly, she looked around her and couldn’t find it, Cherry and Brie also checked to know if it was where they sat because it sounded close by.

“It’s on the kitchen counter.” Brie finally saw it and Belle rushed to it but it stopped ringing just before she could pick it up. She hissed in annoyance of not being able to reach her phone on time.

She took it back with her to the couch and unlocked it to see who it was, calling her. The phone buzzed with vibration in her hands before it started to ring again. She immediately picked it.

It was an unknown number, when she received the call, she kept quiet for the caller to say who him or her was but the person said nothing.

“Hello?” She decided to say.

“Belle.” She knew that voice. She could recognize the voice so easily, the deep sounding voice, it was him, it had to be him. The way he called her name, it sounded different to the ears.

“Excuse me.” She said standing up and leaving to the room.

“Why didn’t you pick up the call the first time I called?” She heard him ask.

“The phone was far from where I was.” She answered trying to control her nervous breathing so he didn’t hear it over the phone.

“Where are you?” He asked again.

“At home?”

“Good. Get dressed, put on something nice, I will send my driver to come up and get you.”

“Wait… what?” She asked but he had cut the call.”Hello?”

She tossed the phone on the bed and headed to the wardrobe to look for ‘something nice ‘ to wear before his driver arrived.
