HIS TRUE BEAUTY

She knew what I’m capable of so she quickly jumped back to her seat and paused her sobs immediately.

“That’s what I taught”.

I said, just then her phone ranged, it was a video call from Bruno.

“It’s Bruno!”She screamed excitedly.

I put my hand on my forehead, so much of being single.

“Hello baby*.

She said smiling at him on her tablet screen.

“Why are your eyes red?”

They both asked in a chorus and chuckled, realising they said same thing , at same time.

I peeped onto her tablet and found him rubbing his eyes.

I sighed and faced my window side, these two are one annoying duo.

He was crying too, who knows someone like Bruno could be so …so…. fragile?

I hate here?

This love fever is contagious.

“It was a flying insect”he chuckled nervously.

I rolled my eyes , well that a lie I am sure.

“I am so sorry, mine was Jessie, she mistakenly hit me on the face and my eye all red and itchy”she replied.

I was dumbfounded for the moment.

“Don’t you dare lie with my name!”

I screamed into her ears.

She chuckled nervously and whispered sorry.

“How are you feeling right now?”

Bruno asked her.

“It’s not a biggie, but yours are really red , let me help you blew it off your eyes”.

“Really! Please do my love!”

Bruno replied in excitement.

My jaw dropped.

I looked back at Beauty. She slowly pulled her hair to the back of her ear and started blowing air into the tablet.

I slapped my forehead in disbelief.

“Seriously, that’s embarrassing what are you guys 5 yrs old toddlers who experienced love for the first time”I said to her but she ignored me and went ahead blewing air.

“How is it now?”

Beauty asked and smiled biting her lower lip, she stroke her hair curling it up with her finger.

“Even your air was magical , it suddenly stopped the pain, I appreciate you, my saving grace, you are angel, is God aware of your existance on earth? Oh my God don’t tell me that you are fallen angel.

Bea blushed uncontrollably.

“Well give it as a secret, will you?”

“Yes boss!”

Bruno snapped.

That’s it!

I am done with whatever zee world, Telemundo, k drama going on right now!

I looked into the tablet and frowned at him.

“Sir Bruno I expected you to be more mature”.

“Oh hy Jessie, I didn’t see you there”.

He waved with a grin settled on his face.

“Can you two behave like humans please”

I snarled Sarcastically and turned to the window side again.

“She said , I am annoying”

Beauty whined like a child.

Bruno laughed out.

“Leave her then. Annoy me! please”

Bruno replied.

Beauty covered her face shyly and laughed out.

“So… what time will you come to work tomorrow, I… just want to know”

Beauty asked biting her nails nervously.

“9:00am, I think it’s been a stressful day today so I might a little late to work , tomorrow”

Bruno replied.

She took a deep breathe and smiled back.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“But you don’t looked stressed at all”she replied

Using my hand as a play thing to calm her nervousness.

“Really I don’t look stressed out?”

Bruno asked in disbelief.

“Yes, rather you look handsome even when stressed, you look hot”.

Bruno switched to the main camera then selfie back on.

“I don’t want you to see me blush, gosh you are so sweet”.

Bruno replied.

Beauty chuckling loudly and her fingers digged into my painfully.

“Beauty let go of my hand!”

I yelled at her.

She wasn’t paying any attention to me.

“Oh I just arrived home, will you like to speak with my family before meeting them in person”.

Beauty hesitated a little.

“Sure, I will love to”

She replied smiling back at him.

Then she suddenly turned paler and her breathe fastened, she must be dead nervous.

I peeped into the video.

He walked almost fall down trying to capture everything, then he gave to someone to video, Beauty was all red , smiling like a christmas snowman.

The house was quite huge, nothing like I have ever seen before.

Mr Hathaway is quite a classy man. No wonder is so strict with his fashion taste.

“And here is my elder sweet sister Abigail”.

“Hey sis”

He waved and signaled her to come over for the video.

“What? Asshole!”

She yelled back and walked towards him.

His sassy sister’s reply and name threw me off balance, I laughed out.

“Don’t you dare laugh at my Bruno”

Beauty said and hit me softly on the shoulder and frowned at me.

“Meet my girlfriend”.

Bruno introduced.

“Stop making a joke of having girlfriend, pick of one those women who keeps flooding our house everytime to seduce you and if you don’t like women get a boyfri…..”

Then she looked into his tab and saw us.

Bruno bent his head shamefully after his sister murdered him with her words.

“Oh my gosh! Bruno you finally have a girlfriend, not just a girlfriend, two girlfriends! I expected five of them though, what’s this a threesome first experience?”

I quickly adjusted away from Beauty.

“No, not two, it’s just one, the most beautiful one of the two”

Bruno corrected.

Beauty waved shyly, brushing her hair back.

“Wow thanks for calling me ugly Bruno!”

I snapped loud enough for him to hear.

“That one, I don’t know you like them…. big?”

His sister doesn’t look impressed with his choice.

It made me feel for Bea, she also notices the sisters facial expression too.

“Welcome to the family honey'”

She said with a tone that sounded forced.

“Thanks so much, you look lovely, I love your hair”

Beauty replied in a rap nervously.

His sis handed over the tab back to Bruno and went away.

“So let’s get into the sitting room, Mom must be waiting…”

The tab suddenly went black.

“Oh craps! My battery! Why didn’t I notice before”

Beauty snapped out.

Finally the video call ended. I am grateful to the battery, it’s a life saver.

“Give me your phone Jessie please”

She turned to me and pleaded.

I shook my head smiling at her.

“You know me better than that, you think I should give you phone to continue this madness? Sorry sweetie”.

I replied.

She tried stealing my phone, we struggled with it.

“Just for 5 minutes please!”

“No!”

“We are here”

The cab driver interrupted.

We both looked at the window side, to our notice. We arrived Beauty’s place.

Quickly she picked up her back, got out about to rush in and charge her phone.

She forgot her luggages.

I was in the cab, speechlesy waiting for to realize it.

Few minutes, she ran back to us.

“Sorry guys I forgot my baggages”.

“You are impossible! I scolded her with arched brows and little grimace.

She pecked me on my forehead.

“Bye Jessie!”

Then she carried them in.

I shook my head and smiled at her.

“Call me tonight”

I shouted after her.

“I will!”

She yelled out before entering inside the house.

“Let’s get going”.

I said to the cab driver.

I entered the cab and he engaged the gear and drove off.
