HIS TRUE BEAUTY

Then they heard the moan again.

“What the…”

Beauty tried to talk but Jessi was fast to cover mouth with her palm.

“Shhh, listen”.

Jessi scolded her in a whisper.

“Does it hurt?”

Bruno asked.

Her enlarged eyes stare into Beauty’s, she put her hand over her mouth overwhelmed.

“Ouch!”Matt moaned again.

“I am sorry it’s my first time doing this does it hurt much?”

Bruno asked.

“Yes, but I am good, I can endure the pain, dont worry”.

Matt said in between moans.

“It’s really tight I am sorry”Bruno replied.

“It’s okay, I am fine, you can continue Darling”.

“Darling?”

Beauty and Jessi chorused then listened quietly.

“The bleeding should have stopped by now”.

Beauty gasped and made to puke just then the heard Matt’s voice.

“Beauty and Jessi we know you guys are in there”

They stared at eachother, not knowing what next to do.

“Let’s go out, he knew we are in here”Jessi whispered.

“No, let’s wait till they leave , I can’t face them”

Beauty whispered back.

“Come on don’t be such a child, we all adults what the big deal, we will just promise them not to tell anyone about their secret relationship”.

“But jessi…”

“I’m going Beauty , you can come out later”.

Jessi said walked out of the bathroom with her cheeks red and a long grin on her face.

The two stood there, Matt was smiling as always while Bruno looked like he would want the earth to swallow him up.

“Hola”.

She waved at them and chuckled nervously.

Few seconds.

Beauty shamefully walked out of the bathroom, her face down, she went and stood at Jessi’s back, shamefully.

“I know what you are thinking, I am only feminine guy but I love girls too.

You see I cut myself back at the office luckily Sir Bruno, darling Boss here noticed and came over to inquire.

He tried tying it up with a handkerchief to stop the bleeding, It was really tight and it hurts me more Instead, could you please help us with a first aid box”.

They stood like statues looking at Matt still holding his bleeding finger, groaning with his feminine like voice, their braincells trying to get the whole thing.

Beauty’s face was priceless.

“Ouch!! Darling please, do something please”

Matt cried again.

“I guess they will take over from here, excuse me”.

Bruno said, he was totally avoiding eye contact and finally left the place.

Beauty drew a deep exhale of relief

“That’s right! Matt would literally refer anyone as darling, babe etc. How did I forget that, maybe I thought he would at least repsect Mr Bruno? He was just helping him with his injury.

So silly jessi, I am way more rotten than I thought”

Jessi laughed within her.

Beauty walked to Matt and started attending to him.

**SHELLY’S POV**

“The hourglass designs, wanted you to be the face of their company, have you reviewed their request yet?”

My mom asked.

She scroll through my mail box, there like hundreds of them.

“Mom, I am really not into all that now, there’s alot in my mind, you know, most importantly, I can’t wait to meet my twin sister”.

I was looking at my mirror reflection.

“You will meet her soon, as soon as you are done with this summer schedules, but please give those companies feedback, they really need your attention, I was bribed by one of them to get you to sign with them, can’t tell which one exactly”.

She said with a slight chuckle.

“Mom!”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

I snapped laughing.

“Well I needed the money so I had to okay..”.

I shook my head.

“Alright,, alright, I will do just as you said”.

“That’s my baby”

She pecked my forehead and left the room.

I took my phone and scroll through the emails.

Minutes later, Mom came back with a plate of salads.

“Take a look at this”.

She said as she put the plate on the favor just opposite the couch .

She walked to me and sat on the bed

I rolled to the other end where she was sitting.

“He is terribly good looking, isn’t he?

She showed me a pic on her phone.

“He is”.

“Well what do you think?”

She winked at me.

“Mom, when are you going to stop trying to fix me up with every good looking guy you cams across?”

She shrugged .

“Well he asked for your phone number and I am going to give him. now. …. Emmm sent”.

“Seriously!”

I screamed out in embarrassment.

**BEAUTY’S POV**

Ugh! Jessi is such an embarrassment, I can’t believe she made me think they were making out.

I was really embrassed about the bathroom scene, I walked back to my post while Jessi continue teasing Matt about it.

I heard them laughing over it.

I got some work to type, alot of them.

“Fatty, cancel my schedule for next week, I am traveling to Paris with my boyfriend”.

It’s Kathy, she will always torment me. First I am not even in the right position to cancel her next week appointments and also why telling me the details and purpose of all that, with her boyfriend.

“Kathy my name is Bea…”.

I paused to complete it, because it does sound weird to me .

“Bea … what, oh you are smart, I was prepared to laugh at you till you hide under the table”.

Kathy smiled.

“Laugh all you want, it won’t get to me”.

I snapped back.

She rolled her eyes.

“Where’s May?”

Fred asked.

Fred the new manager already resumed his duty, I quickly stood up.

“Sir she’s in the editors room”.

I replied.

He nodded.

Kathy smirked and turned to him.

“Hy Fred, your new girlfriend is in the editors room”.

“You should watch it, I am the manager, and I won’t take it likely if you disrespect me”.

Fred commanded.

I stood in awe, wondering what gave her the guts to act so towards the manager. I guess when you’re too beautiful , everyone will respect you, and admire you, some will hate you, but only because of jealousy.

“Rumours had it that they once dated”.

Jessi whispered into my ears.

She had appeared out of nowhere again.

Why is she always doing that!
