HIS TRUE BEAUTY

I can see through his transparent white singlet how huge his chest was, I gulped hard again , and fist tightened, I think I need to hydrate.

He turned his back to me.

“Help me please”.

“Huh?”

“With the shirt…”

“Oh… ok…”.

I pulled off the shirt, never seen such an athesthetic body.

“Damn he is hot!!”

I screamed in my head.

This heart breaker is all round perfection.

“Thanks”.

He replied gently, breaking in my thoughts then he went ahead to take the photos.

He doesn’t look happy, and looks like he was forcing it.

“Sir Bruno stop please, you kept looking away from the camera, what’s with the distraction?”.

The photographer complained, he looked pissed, Kathy’s loud hiss was heard that instant.

Everyone got in front of the laptop to point the mistakes, I peeped from the back.

He was looking over towards my side? Why?

“First timer, i don’t think so, because you have been in magazine covers even as a child model, what’s with the distraction?”

The crew started mumbling.

“Please patience, everyone patience please, can we take more , Sir Bruno you have to focus on the camera Please, let’s get it right everyone”.

The director instructed again breaking into my thoughts.

Kathy looked so pissed.

“I need a break”.

Bruno told Ferd.

Ferd wasn’t pleased at all but Bruno’s father is in the company, he dare not belittle Bruno.

“Whatever”

He replied.

Bruno walked over to me.

“You.. you are sweating”.

I said and handed over a handkerchief from my pocket.

He took it and thanked me.

“Like I was say…Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Before I could finish he held me by my hand and walked me out of the office.

I didn’t ask him anything, I was silent curious to know what he is up to, every head we passed by turned to our direction.

We got outside the company building finally.

“What happened?”

I asked him curious.

**BRUNO’S POV**

“Get into the car, trust me”

I replied.

She must be really curious to know what I am up to, I love how, she didn’t argue and trusted me, as soon she got into the car, I closed the door and joined her.

“I am trying to get away from work”I replied and sighed deeply.

“What , but you are addicted to your work”.

She question surprisly.

“Yeah”I replied slowly like i was going to regret it later, but I feel like talking to her , and being with her, maybe I was addicted to work but not anymore, I am addicted to something else.

I stared at her , she turned to me, our eye met, I quickly looked away.

“Well I am glad you getting off your addiction, you can’t work everytime, it’s not healthy”She said softly.

I looked at her and smiled, glad she cares about me.

“So where are we going exactly?”

She asked.

“Paradise valley”.

“I heard it’s the most romantic place for dinners, the place is expensive. wait why are we going to this place exactly”.

“It’s not meant for couples only, we are just two single co_workers going there to chill, there’s much more to life than just romance”I replied.

I said without even knowing the meaning of what I just said.

She sighed deeply.

“Tell me about it”.

The way she said that made me chuckle softly.

“You …just laughed?”

She asked innocently, and curious , she effortlessly funny and cute.

“Thanks to you, I did”.

The silence after that statement was so intense, but not as intense as our eyes staring into each other.

She looked away immediately.

“Beauty?”

“Yes?”

She turned to me.

My eyes went to her lips, I blinked and gulped.

“Can.. help me get the leather bag, on the back seat please”.

“Which one?”she asked looking at the backseat.

I watched through the the front mirror.

“The black one”.

We reached our destination, I stopped at the parking lot.

Meanwhile she’s still struggling to get the nylon.

“I can’t grab it…”She said frustrated, I think I should help out.

“Let me help you”.

“Don’t worry! I got it ….”.

Same time I looked back at the backseat our faces crashed on eachother

but the lips brushed against each other slightly, one thing is sure, I like the feeling of this, I wanted more but still it was unexpected, I freezed.

Ours eyes staring into each other’s, hers looked more shocked, it was totally unexpected.

Then she pushed me back, impulsively.

I got cold feet, should I talk first, I turned to her but ended up glancing at her lips, hungry for more.

I forced my face back to the front, then I guess I was addicted to looking at her.

She closed her eyes probably embarrassed, her fingers were shaking nervously.

I have to do something, and apologize, it’s a mistake, but I have to respect her and apologize so she won’t feel bad.

I held her shivering hand gently.

She opened her eyes, they’re wet, she was staring at me sadly, My eyes won’t get off her face down her lips.

I wanted to apologise but I was obsessed and heed over heels that moment, and also stupid.

I kissed her this time I opened my mouth , she went along with it, or so I thought, but the next reaction proved me wrong. She gave me a very resounding slap, it did get me back to my senses.

“Open the door I want to go down!!”

She tried to hold back her emotions.

“I’m sorry.. I didn’t mean to.. hurt”.

“Just open the damn door …”.

“I wasn’t toying with you, I… really”.

Her face made me stop talking. I opened the car door.

She stepped out and banged the odor angrily.

I sighed with my eyes closed, I messed up , I never wanted this, I just want to spend time with her and have a conversation.

I got up and went after her.

**BEAUTY’S POV**

I wasn’t thinking straight or looking at the direction, where I was going, mumbling to myself.

I am just something for him to play with, he must have noticed I liked him , and think I should be made a toy, and maybe in two months he will dump me and call me ugly and fat.. just like others.

Mr Bruno? A man like that having feelings for me, Ha!

He thinks I’m a fool? He could have any lady in this universe, and then he want me? I maybe be fat but I am not stupid.

Along the way, I bumped into someone, embarrassed to look up at first.

“I am so sorry”.

I apologized politely.

“Beauty?”

That voice? I had to look up, raising my head to look at the speaker, my face turned paler.

What a day!

“Beauty what are you doing in a place like this?”

He laughed.
