HIS TRUE BEAUTY

“Well this is interesting, Mr Bruno in the female restroom hand trapped under the skirt”she said, we both stared at her stunned for a while then Bruno quickly removed his hands from beneath my skirt and left the bathroom with his face down.

“Go wash your hands eww”.

She snapped at him.

“Jessi can’t you knock first”I snapped angrily at her, buttoning up my shirt.

“Girl this is an office, not your house, you two should control yourselves for F**k’s sake”she said with a disgusted look on her face.

“He started it”.

I said shamefully.

“Oh yeah, but you were enjoying his super fingers and all that”She scolded, she then sighed and did a brief yoga pose.

“Take a deep breath Jessi, you won’t break your virginity till marriage, that’s if Beauty and her Bruno won’t oppress you with their office romance life”she snapped angrily at me again.

“Well atleast , let me enjoy it, let me be dirty or whatever, for the first time Jessi …. I am with someone who doesn’t call me fat and disgusting, he wants to make love to me and not just use me for his own pleasure, I don’t know if he is going to break my heart like the rest of them… but (sobs)…. I would be thankful atleast he made me feel like a woman… for the first time, I felt so loved, important and treasured”I cried more.

“Are you seriously tearing up, Beauty you are pathetic!”

She skook her head.

A minute later, I was still fighting back my tears.

“Come over here”Jessi said spreading her hands widely.

I went and hugged her crying out this time.

“Shh, Bruno is not like the others, I believe you two are soulmates, cheer up baby, you got nothing to worry, and if he ever break your heart, I swear I am going to do something crazy to him, I don’t care if he is the son of Hathaway”she whispered, consoling me.

**BRUNO’S POV**

After work , I had to take Beauty home, she told me earlier her dad requested had to meet me.

I was really happy, I guess this is it, we are officially couple , I will wait patiently till she is ready to take the lifetime journey with me.

It was a long silent drive since we both were too embarrassed about the restroom scene, at the office.

We arrived at her place, her parents were already outside waiting. I felt my body shaking, ofcourse I was nervous never done this before. I got down from my car and walked over the other side to open the door for her but she’s already out of the car.

We both walked hand in hand towards them.

“Welcome, you must be Bruno”.

Her father said offering a handshake, I accepted, beaming in smiles.

“Yes sir”.

The mother smiled at me.

“It’s nice to meet you dear and also my daughter didn’t tell me you look even hotter in real life”

She contributed.

“Yes I agree , he is a good looking young man and with a great character too”her father complimented too.

I smiled shyly and thanked them.

“Seriously, Beauty told me about your good looks, but she didn’t say it was in excess”.

Her mom teased.

“Alright mom that’s enough , Dad …. mom is flirting with Bruno”Beauty snapped.

Everyone laughed. She has such a nice family no wonder she is so lovely in person.

“Food is already set, Shall we?”

Her mom announced.

I nodded and followed Mr Greatson Beauty’s to the dinning.

Beauty went into the kitchen with her mom

We can overheard them mumbling exciting words in there.

“My daughter cares about you alot, she’s been through many ridicules and bullying because she got her weight from me, she worked really hard to achieve her body now and maintained it, although the bulling never ends, according to some, she is still fat, even with a healthy body mass”.

I stopped eating and listened.

“It’s hard for her to open her heart for another man, I was surprised when she told me about you, I became worried if same history is going to be repeated…”

“Sorry I had to interrupt Mr Greatson, but love Beauty and I won’t ever treat her like those guys, I really love Beauty sir, she’s like a purpose of living for me, my whole existence revolves around her, I was a complete different person before I met her”.

I said slowly thinking of a word to express myself more but I couldn’t find a word to describe how much I loved her in order to convince him.

“I can tell you are a good one, Bruno , I love how you tried to express your feelings for my daughter, but listen to me, I don’t want to tell you this in her presence,… but if you ever make her cry, you will regret ever accepting this invitation in the first place. I am giving a chance to think, is she the type of woman you really want? Is her body okay for you ? Trust me, if you say no today I won’t hold anything against you if you turn back now, even though you already proposed, but if tomorrow, you treat like a rag because of her appearance, you’re a billionaire alright, I can go as far as dying to prove my words to you”.

“Mr Greatson please I do understand you, and how you feel, but I swear with everything I am, I will never hurt Beauty, she’s my other half and I can’t hurt me, even if we have problem please I will fix it, I promise”.

I pleaded with a determination that I never knew I had in me.

“I like that, there’s no perfect couole, but willing to put things right I respect you for that”.

He said with a smile.

I thanked him.

“My daughter is everything I have , so I am leaving her under your care and entrust her to you”.

He said to me with a very serious tone in his voice.

“I appreciate, thanks for accepting me and g9vong me the responsibility of taking care of her, I will not disappoint you nor her”.

I replied smiling back.

St the same time, Beauty and her mom came out of the kitchen with a tray of foodies.

They put it all down on the dining table and joined us to sit round the table.

“So what are you guys gossiping about?”Mrs Greatson asked.

I wanted to say something but Mr Greatson gave me a sign not to.

“Well just passing on the family tradition to our new son”he replied her and winked at me.

“What tradition?”

Beauty asked amused.

“It’s meant for the male members of the family alone,”her father replied.

Beauty stared at me with curiousity, her expressions are always the funniest.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

I was trying not to stare back, holding back my laughter, grinning uncontrollably.

She leaned towards me and whispered into my ears.

“Tell me what you guys talked about”.

I still hold back my laughter ignoring her , she got upset and flipped her hair, pouting in annoyance.

“Hmphhh whatever”.

I glanced at her and smiled.

She pouted her lip , with arched brows.

“Let’s pray”.

Mrs Greatson announced as we all bent our heads to say prayers before the meal.

**BEAUTY’S POV**

I was excited, never been this happy, I mean it’s a good sign right? First my dad invitation went smoothly for Bruno.

They both can relate so well like they knew each other before I introduced them to each other.

Now his dad want to talk with me in person, I am so excited though nervous.

I just hope, I will be able win his heart so he will love me back as a daughter, I prayed silently.

We arrived and the guards saluted Bruno, we walked hand in hand into the building then Bruno went into his room to let see him, while I waited in the sitting room.

I sat on the couch my palms sweaty like they were dipped into a bowl of water

I kept cleaning it and brushing over my laps.

Very nervous, as soon Bruno came , I was relieved, but noticed he was wearing a long face.

“What happened honey?”I asked curiously, never seen him with such a sad face.
