Chapter 87: Chapter 87

Women are a kind of creature. He met the sweet good one and a few terrible ones. Maybe in every Pamela, there would be ten of Emma's and five of Nelly.

He doesn't have the time for women anymore. He just wants to be happy and live his life to the fullest. He's had enough of their meanness to the full and now, he wants a break.

Pamela closed early and got home, ready to meet Louis for the date. She's been calling him and sending him texts, but he's not responding. There's something going on that she was yet to lay her fingers on.

She got dressed and he sent her a text: my chauffeur is coming over to pick you. Pamela replied and said okay.

She got dressed in an armless peplum blouse and a short skirt. She got her makeup kit in her bag. She cannot predict how much she and Louis were going to kiss each other.

A minute to seven, his chauffeur arrived and Pamela got in. She sat alone at the back and asked the chauffeur where they were going and he said by the beach.

They arrived at the beach and Pamela got down. The chauffeur told her that the bodyguards would come for her and next, she saw them coming towards her.

She looked up and saw a flat plateau just ahead of her and a wooden stairs that the bodyguards descended from. She's never been to such a place before.

She heard the bustling of the water a little distance away and looked, the waves moving up and down and bringing sand to the shore.

The area was lit up. It was bright and a few lovers were still there by the river bank, chasing and hugging each other romantically. She would be doing such with Louis Hayden soon.

"Ma'am, the boss is waiting for you" one of the bodyguards bowed slightly in respect and Pamela nodded. He followed him and two other bodyguards were behind her.

She was scared initially when she stepped on the stairs but as soon as she stepped on it, she saw it was firm and could carry the weight of a hundred people at a time.

At the end of the stairs, she discovered a village of tents. Different tents were erected, few distances away from each other. The entire area was full of lights. It looked beautiful and she immediately called it the Beach side village.

This is an amazing project. This would bring in tourists and become a tourism centre. She kept walking behind the bodyguard until he stopped in front of the most beautiful tent.

Pamela kept looking and admiring the beauty of the place that she didn't notice that the bodyguard had stopped. She almost bumped into him before regaining her stamina.

She saw the bodyguard bowed slightly and beckoned to her to get in. She nodded and was contemplating whether to push the door open or just touch the bolt on the door when the door was open from within.

Before the door, stood Louis in jeans and a polo. He looked casual but his handsomeness will always radiate and bring out his charming physique no matter what he puts on.

She smiled and Louis said "come in" she did and he held her by the waist, making her body rest on him and instructed the bodyguards "I don't want to be disturbed except I call for you"

He got her in and shut the door. As soon as the door was shut, he looked at Pamela's dress and turned her round, swirling her around and looking at her body.

"You look sweet" he complimented and Pamela said "You look attractive love"

Louis narrowed his brow "I have always been attractive" he corrected and Pamela said she was seeing him in such easy wear for the first time.

"Hmmm" he grunted and suddenly, pulled her closer to himself and placed a hand on her back side and the other supporting her back head and crashed his lips on her.

He kissed her roughly and Pamela tried to get free from his grip but he wouldn't. He was punishing her, not just kissing her.

She couldn't breathe and felt suffocated. With the last bit of strength in her, she pushed him off and slapped him in rage.

Louis let her go and placed his hand on his chin that she slapped. He glared at her in anger, this was probably going to be their first misunderstanding as lovers.

"How dare you raise your hand to hit me?" He asked, his fury was all over him. "I will do it again if you try to hurt me again" Pamela replied, wondering if she was wrong to have come to him.

"Go ahead and hit me again. When he kissed you this morning and you smiled, caressing the part of your chin where he planted the kiss and even turned to admire him, did you hit him?

Tell me Pamela, did you? You let an ex kiss you and you didn't frown at it but smiled and touched your chin sweetly. Just tell me how many of us will be kissing you henceforth?" Louis demanded.

He turned away from her and went to the mini wine cellar and took a bottle of wine and two glasses and poured some into it. Instantly he gulped down an entire glass and poured himself another.

Pamela was dazed. He saw her and Lucas in the morning? What he said was exactly what she did. Did he retrieve the CCTV footage and saw her when they exchanged cars and Lucas kissed her.

She turned and saw him take a glass of wine to his mouth and emptied it at a gulp. She went to him and crossed her hands around his waist, placing her head on his back.

"I'm sorry. It was an innocent kiss and we attached no feelings to it. Nothing. Lucas and I are friends and no strings or feeling attached to whatever excitement going on between us" Pamela apologised.

Louis can't help but have a grin on his face briefly and almost immediately disappear. No feelings attached. Lucas was right, she doesn't know he still loves her.

"Mm" he grunted and turned to face her. He offered her a glass and glared at her. Innocent minded and thinks everyone else's mind is a replica of hers.

Lucas is madly in love with her and has kissed her to ease his desire to be with her and she's here telling him no feelings attached.

"Dinner" he declared and walked into the inner part of the tent. Pamela didn't follow immediately but let her eyes linger after him. There is still a portion for a dining table?

"Still not coming?" Louis' voice came from over the inner room and she quickly followed. She was surprised further. It's an apartment. There's a bed and a little wardrobe in the inner cubicle.

The dining table was only for two. Louis said "dish the meal, I'm famished" Pamela placed her glass of wine down and nodded, getting the dishes for them.

Louis didn't say a word to her throughout their meal. But he kept his gaze on her. When they were through, he cleared the dishes and stared at Pamela.

"I'm sorry my love" Pamela said and he leaned forward and asked her "how many of us will be kissing you henceforth?"

"Only my man, and that is you" Pamela replied and Louis looked away. He stood up and declared "let's go out for fresh air"

Pamela stood up also and glanced at her shoes. Louis saw her doing so and said "I brought your slippers' ' he said pointing to the corner of the tent.

Her slippers? Pamela looked and saw her slippers indeed. She was dazed. It's the slippers she used while she was in his mansion back then. He still keeps them?

"Why are you looking surprised? All your things are intact, especially the undies" Louis teased and chuckled aloud.

Pamela placed her finger on his lips. Why Undies, he was teasing her and wanted her to blush. Louis laughed and she laughed too.

She changed from her shoes into a slipper and Louis did the same too. They went out together and Louis took her around and they were talking and Louis was asking her questions about themselves.

"I love you Pamela and I am ready to go any length in proving my love for you. But then, there are a few things that I see as my weakness and one of such things is jealousy.

I am a very jealous guy. Not over you alone but everything that I see as mine. I grew up an only child and that makes me possessive.

You are my woman, even if I haven't owned you body and soul. I will be furious when I see you go a little beyond limits with any man. I feel cheated and betrayed. Please minimize your closeness with Lucas Wright" Louis requested.

He glanced at Pamela and took her hand. "I do not doubt your love but I want to be the only man occupying your heart" he concluded.

Some heavily armed security guards were parading and would salute him when they passed by. Louis would only wave a hand and continue walking.

"I only love you Louis. I agree that Lucas and I had a past, but I feel nothing for him except that I just want to remain a loyal friend" Pamela explained.

She leaned over Louis ' body and he stopped holding her hands and crossed his hand around her waist. No one said anything until Louis asked again "Yesterday, what did mum say to you?"

….Stay away from my family… Leah Hayden's words rang in Pamela's head. Louis' question made her remember her words. But she's not going to tell him what his mother says exactly.

"Nothing much. Just exchange a few pleasantries" Pamela lied. Louis paused and turned to glance at her. He raised her chin to make her look up at him.

"Has anyone told you that you look terrible when you lie?" Louis asked and let go of her chin. With so much blushing, she thinks he couldn't detect her lies?

Pleasantries and her countenance changed with moist eyes? She went to Lucas and he held her in a hug and she claimed it to be just pleasantries?
