HIS TRUE BEAUTY

“Where’s Beauty, I can’t find beauty?”I said to each of them.

“Who?”Kathy replied sleepy or else she would have ignored me , after she understood I was asking for Beauty.

I tapped another person, it wasn’t helping , I got restless, I brought my phone, as beads of sweat summoned on my forehead.

I dialled her line several times, finally she answered.

I heard the voice from the phone but it sounded like she was here with me.

“You’re really troublesome you know that”

I turned and found her standing beside our tent, grinning uncontrollably.

I smiled back relieved.

She bit her lower lip and pulled her finger, continuously making the ‘come to me’ sign.

Excitedly, I took the shot. Along the way, I mistakenly stepped on someone.

“I am sorry , so sorry”I pleaded softly in a whisper, luckily he was deep asleep to care.

Beauty was dying of laughter with her hand covering her mouth. As soon as I got to where she was, I wanted to hug her but she went inside the tent instead.

I followed immediately .

“You got me worried”I said pouting my lip for a kiss, she pressed her finger on my lips instead.

.”We should sleep”she replied and walked majestically to the bed and laid down leaving me there emotionally drained.

“Mummy!”I called her in a childish sobby tone.

She was holding back her laughter, she turned and glared at me.

“I am not your mummy, it’s time for bed, so don’t get naughty”she scolded then she turned back to the other side.

I sadly went to the bed. I wanted to put my hand on her waist, she slapped it off, I did it again, same thing repeated , I let her be and closed my eyes.

Few minutes later, she took my hand and turned to me , resting on my hand , her legs cuddled up with mine. I looked at her and smiled, she smiled back with her eyes closed.

I kissed her forehead and hugged her tightly.

I wished there would never be a daybreak, let’s stay like this forever. Just you and me in our own world no disturba….

Just then, Someone drew the tent open, interrupting our moment.

“You guys!”she snapped.

We jumped up startled.

It was jessi.

“Jessi what the fuck is your problem?”I whispered, furious , frowning at her.

“Jessi not agaaain”.

Beauty said sleepily in a pissed groan.

“I just want to remind you guys, pregnancy is real, make sure you are ready , and also put off the lights before anything because we can see your silhouette from outside”Jessi confirmed.

“Ok that’s it , now get out of here”.

Beauty got up and dragged her outside.

I heard them laugh outside.

“Jessi must be a mosquito in her last life, very annoying “I snapped impatiently.

Then my face brightened when Beauty came back inside our tent.

“Shhh”.

She whispered, crawling towards me and she blew off the candle lights.

I felt her finger on me in the dark and then they tickled me.

“Don’t you dare laugh”she said holding back her own laughter, I was reaching my limits too.

She noticed and caught my face , leaned forward and kissed me, we both lay back on the bed , wrapped in eachothers arms.

“Hmmm, you smell good”.

She said sniffing my neck , her nose poking my face, cuddling, going to rest on my chest, we chuckled , I kissed her forehead , then I noticed she had fallen asleep already.

I can’t even sleep again, I have the river scene on my mind like it was installed there, it was my first and I never imagined it to be this amazing.

She cuddled tightly, maybe she’s cold.

I drew the blanket over our bodies and closed my eyes

**BEAUTY’S POV**

I woke up and found him sound asleep, I smiled at him who would believe it!

Am I dreaming?

I am sir Bruno’s girlfriend now right, a one sided crush for three years.

“Am I getting played again. no wave it off , you see the way he looks at you, he’s real for you”I said to myself.

I took a deep breath to calm my nerves then I turned and stared at him smiling.

I can’t really decide which one is more handsome.

Bruno, when he was awake or or Bruno, while sleeping.

I leaned and kissed his lips gently in order not to wake him, I kissed him again, about to go back to sleep, two hands caught my face in the dark and we kissed passionately.

“You should stop stealing kisses from me without my permission”.

He replied, smiling with his eyes closed.

“Well I thought it’s all mine now”.

He opened his eyes and smiled.

“You know it’s yours.. maybe next time don’t kiss so gently, claim it rather”.

I chuckled, my cheeks hot.

I got back to my position as we both cuddled up again.

He was really sleepy so I let him. I stared at him while resting on his chest, I had another weird dream that night.

I saw a slim version of me staring at me. It was horrific. I wonder what that means. She looked really pretty.

**JESSIE’S POV*”

Well the next day we all got ready to go back home to the states with lots of gifts from Mrs Lola.

At the airport, Bruno’s driver arrived, I already suggested that they don’t go together because it will make people wonder why they are suddenly close.

So they went their separate ways. Am happy for my friend beauty, this vacation is a life changing for her.

Bruno’s a good guy but well we can’t trust anyone fully, people changes alot, especially men who are handsome and can have any woman they want.

I just hope they find happiness together.

“So are we going together?”I asked Beauty.

She nodded sadly.

“Stop keeping your face like a new bride , who just bade farewell to her travelling husband”.

I snapped at her with a frown.

She cleaned her face, and sobbed loudly, I can’t believe she was actually crying.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

I rolled my eyes and signal the cab driver to put our luggages in the cab.

Only Ferd and few others entered the company bus. I went into the cab but she stayed outside , looking towards Bruno’s car until the driver engaged the gear.

“Come on in Bea!”

I called out to her.

As soon as she got into the cab, she fell on my shoulder crying.

“Don’t stain my blouse with your childish tears , Bea! What is it this time?”I snarled impatiently.

“Jessie do you think he’s real, I am really confused, how can a man like that love me…what if it’s some fetish he wanted to explore? What if he breaks up with me like the others what if he only sees me as a sex thing and… what if…”

I had to interrupt her.

“You overthink alot Bea, are you crying for your break up in the future, that’s ridiculous! Well cry no more bestie!”

She looked up at me.

“Really!”

“Yep, infact.. I know a very few good men on my hit list and Bruno is one of them. Infact he tops the list so, I will say he’s for real, don’t cry over it , he loves you and I know you can feel it too.. it’s normal to feel like he is just playing you because of his looks and status”.

She sighed hotly.

“I guess you are right Jessi, maybe am exaggerating”.

She said drying her face.

“That’s right girl, you need to woman up and own your man”I replied and smiled at her. Inwardly I was quite relieved she was done with her nags.

“Another thing, I .. I… miss him already Jessi”

She yelled out loudly and fell on my shoulder , crying again.

I rolled my eyes intensively, trying to endure her annoying attitude.

“Seriously Bea , you guys just seperated minutes ago, if you don’t stop crying now I will slap you back to your senses”.

I thundered with arched brows.
