Chapter 19 Chapter 19
Benjamin Jnr
As soon as I landed, I called my dad to tell him I was back but I also told him I didn’t want my mother to know and I will be staying in a hotel until I’ve met with Joelle and spoke to her. My father was quite happy with that, so I went to the hotel and took a much-needed shower and got dressed. I got one of my fathers’ men to drive me to Joelle’s house but when I got there, she wasn’t there she went for a run. I took that opportunity to sweet talk her mom I could see she wasn’t one of my biggest fans but maybe I can turn this around her father on the other hand was just business he didn’t care a bit that I slept my way through Europe. I was a man whore the pass few years and I will be the first person to admit it. I was getting somewhere with her mom asking questions about her life, I mean there is nothing rich women like more than the attention of a young handsome guy like me. Do I think a lot of myself? Yes, I do but there is a fine lie between confidence and arrogance and I think I walk that line very gracefully.
I heard the door open and then Mr. Wayne called Joelle to the living room, she was going to be so surprised but after last night’s conversation I couldn’t wait anymore I had to meet her. I didn’t turn around when I could hear her stand behind me and she asked her dad “Yes dad?” I turned around and the shock on her face was exactly what I expected, she looked amazing with the sweat running down her face her hair sticking to her forehead, it looked like she ran a marathon. I realized then and there the photos on social media didn’t do her justice. “Benjamin?” She asked “Jojo” “What are you doing here?” she asked in shock her mother was the one that berated her “That is not a nice way of asking him that Joelle.” I actually felt bad for her was this the way everyone was treating her like I was a king and she just had to fall at my feet or obey me like she said my mother told her. “No Mrs. Wayne I would have been shock to if I was her.” I couldn’t take my eyes of her “I came to take you out for dinner.” “You flew all the way from Paris to take me to dinner?” she asked still shocked “Well, that and I’m back.” I think she forgot to close her mouth with all the shocking statements I was making. I walked closer to her leaned into her and whispered in her ear, “You better close your mouth.” What I wanted to say would made her probable run for the hills so I just said close your mouth “Excuse me, I’ll go and get ready.” “No rush I’m speaking business with your dad while you get ready.” I smiled at her as she ran up the stairs.
Mr. Wayne and I went to his office and talked business he was very forthcoming with all the financial statements and even gave them to me to study, he wanted me to see what I was getting into and by the looks of it Joelle was marrying down and not up. The Wayne’s were doing so much better than us probable not something I should share with my parents just yet. It took about an hour for Joelle to come knock on her father’s door, which in my eyes was actually very quick models take so much longer. When she opened the door she looked like an angel, dressed in a black tight fitting mini dress with her diamond necklace, earrings and tennis bracelet and off course the Chanel bag. She looked as classy as I would have expected with a lot of naughtiness in that dress. I must have looked at her to long because she leaned into me and whispered “The cat cut your tongue?” “Touche Miss. Wayne touché.” “Well Mr. Wayne if you don’t mind, I’m going to take my fiancé out for dinner I’ll look over these tomorrow.” “No problem enjoy your dinner.” As we walked to the SUV, I put my hand at her lower back she flinches for a second and then she relaxed she was just not use to my touch. When I open the door for her, I took her hand and made her look at me “You look stunning Jojo.” “Thank you, Benjamin.” I leaned in and kissed her on the cheek which made her blush. As I closed the door, I thought that was very sweet, her blushing maybe she is really still a virgin.
I got in and the driver started to drive “How was your exam?” I asked her, she looked at me shocked “What?” I asked “You are just shocking me tonight Mr. Devon.” She said with a smile “Oh and why is that, Miss Wayne?” “Showing up, taking me to dinner, charming my mom and remembering I had a test.” “Isn’t that the sort of thing a fiancé should know and do?” “I wouldn’t know but to answer you question I think I did very well.” “Then I’m very pleased.” “My I ask you something?” “Off course anything?” “Did you call Morne to get my number.” Anger where rising up inside me I could feel it; did they still talk? But I couldn’t be jealous or ask her about it. “Yes why?” “Just asking.” “Did he say something to you?” I could see the expression on her face changing. “Sorry I shouldn’t have asked.” I said quickly. “Yes, he did let’s just say our break up was uglier than expected from my side, I thought I knew him but clearly I didn’t.” “Did he hurt you?” “Let’s rather not speak about him shall we, you came back and we are together to get to know each other, right?” She asked. “Yes, and I need to know what my mother said to you that you think you need to obey me?” “No, I don’t want to speak about that.” She said looking away from me. I touched her leg, which made her look at me “Well I want to.”
