HIS TRUE BEAUTY

“Sorry for the inconveniences, please how much is the bill?”

He avoided the question.

“$1090”.

“Transfer?”

“We accept”.

Bruno took out his phone, she was still hugging him, sobbing and mumbling words he had no idea how they are related to him or even had the energy to understand them

He paid the money.

“Thanks, please take her out of here, she is a mess”.

The man said and walked away.

Bruno sighed, he pulled Beauty to stand on her own, but she’s already dozing off.

“Miss..”

He took a closer look at her, she looked exhausted and tears were still wet under her eyes.

I guess I had to carry her out of the restaurant.

He thought.

He carried her on his back, he was surprised that she was lighter than he thought.

“Tim…your back is so warm”.

He heard her murmur.

“It’s Bruno”.

He replied calmly.

“Oh Steven”.

Now who is this Steven? First was Tim, now Steven?

He got to where he parked and put her down beside my car, about to get my keys from his pocket.

“Tim…can I get an ice cream please, give me a chocolate flavour ( she turned it into a song” maybe a stra…wbe…rry…Choco Choco…strawberry…Choco Choco…strawberry…Choco Choco…strawberry”.

Bruno sighed and took her by the hand.

“What have I gotten myself into? I guess she wants ice cream”.

He looked around and found an ice cream truck outside the restaurants, just a stone throw opposite where they are.

I can’t leave her alone here.

He thought and carried her with him.

“Can you get me a mixed flavour, chocolate and strawberry?”

The ice cream man nodded and scooped the ice cream.

He handed it over and Bruno paid.

Returning to the waiting bench, Beauty had dozed off, sleeping soundly.

He gently tapped her on the shoulder.

“Here you go”.

Her eyes opened slowly but seeing the ice cream, it got wider.

“Ice cream?”

“You said you wanted one”.

He replied.

She looked up at him, surprised.

“I did?”

“Yes you did, in song form”.

She laughed.

“Oh I guess I did”.

Then she looked up at him in tears.

“Are you okay?”

“You are so nice, why did you ever leave me Tim”.

“It’s Bruno!”

He got fed up by constantly reminding her his name.

“Why do y’all hate me.. I am trying so hard to be slim…I am trying…”.

She cried loudly.

“Let’s get out of the public first”.

Bruno replied, his face flushed with embracement, he helped her up but she asked to be carried instead.

***

Bruno got to the hotel and lodged in, as soon as he laid her down on the bed, stretching his muscles.

Beauty groaned and started pulling her clothes off.

Bruno’s heart skipped.

“You should keep it on, miss? Miss?”.

She wouldn’t listen to him, so she pulled her blouse up.

He closed his eyes then slowly opened. He was surprised at the amount of weight that baggy top took from her.

Beauty drunkenly kicked her trousers off her feet and fell on the bed wearing lingerie.

“Free at last!”

She shouted and next minute she straight up went into a deep snore.

Bruno walked to her, trying not to look, he pulled a duvet to cover her, sighed heavily afterwards.

“I guess it’s over, I should better get some sleep before it’s morning”.

He muttered to himself and was about to go, Beauty grabbed his arm.

Starled, he gasped and looked at her. He had thought she was deep asleep.

“Why did you hate me so much Tim!”

Beauty sobbed.

“I …am…Bruno”.

He replied slowly.

She sat up and held on to his trousers and cried loudly.

Suddenly resting her head resting below his belt level, because of the height difference, it should have been his tummy since the bed stand was high enough.

“This is awkwardly bad”.

Bruno thought to himself, feeling a bit tight.

He swallowed and tried to pull her back but she kept crying and burying her face in his trousers.

“I know I am fat and ugly but I tried so hard to lose weight you know, I don’t even eat foods I love anymore!”

Bruno knelt beside her if not for anything to avoid her caressing his crotch with her head.

“Hey .. don’t say that you are not fat nor ugly…I actually think you look good in your body shape”.

“Oh Tim!”

She yelled out crying again.

“Tell me what are the foods you love”.

Bruno replied with something to make her stop crying.

She sobbed and looked up.

“I love sausages, cheesecakes and burgers, and ice cream too, but I can’t have them or I won’t be slim. I promise I am not eating them anymore Tim”.

He got pissed and held her on the shoulder and shook her hard.

“I am Bruno!”

He was shocked at how high he could actually yell.

“Hmmm?”

Beauty forced her eyes open wide then dimming it back, she took his face in her arms. She brought his face closer to hers for a look.

Bruno’s eyes widened as he thought she would maybe kiss him.

She kept touching his facial features with her fingers.

“You don’t look like Tim, Steven?”

“No .. because I am Bruno”.

He replied.

Her fingers touched his nose and lips.

“”Ooohhhh Bruno?”

He looked at her shocked that she got it this time.

“Such nice lips”.

Reacting,, his face flushed and his ears red.

She leaned closer and closer, until their lips were less than inch apart

What is she trying to do!

Bruno panicked.

“I….. I…want to throw up”.

She murmured

Before Bruno could make a move, she threw up on him.

“What a night”

Bruno signed.

The next morning, Beauty woke up with a. Hungover, her head was hammering so bad, she groaned and helped herself up.

“Mum?”

She called and slowly opened her eyes.

Unsure if her eyes were deceiving her, she rubbed her eyes to clear her vision. The room looked so strange to her.

“Where…where am I ?

She panicked.

She looked around the room again, trying to remember anything but her mind was whirled up.

She suddenly felt her body cold and bare, she pulled the duvet up and found out that she was only wearing nothing!

I am naked!

Immediately the bathroom door opened, she gasped and quickly pulled the duvet up to her face leaving only her eyes uncovered.

Her heart was racing.

A man came out of the bathroom, a small towel drying his hair and another round his waist.

His body could be interpreted as an artwork, a very unique artwork that could make any one stare like an idiot.

The wet drips added a little bit of an effect on his sexiness.

Beauty’s jaw dropped. No one else has that majestic body except….

“Mr.. Bruno?”
