"Jess, I'm so sick. I have fever,my body is so hot, I feel like I could die. My parents aren't home, and I need you. Please come, urgently, if you can. Please if you can get some drug from a pharmacy, however if you can't I will understand."

She hit send, hoping Jessie would come quickly.

Curling back into her blankets, she closed her burning eyes, hoping the fever would break soon.

Then, she remembered the door was locked. Her body was weak, her muscles heavy as if weighed down by bricks, but she knew she had to keep the door open in case Jessie arrived.

She pressed her lips together and forced herself out of bed, her legs trembling. Each step felt like she was dragging herself through thick mud, her legs wobbly and unsteady.

Her breath came in shallow gasps as she moved slowly across the room, clutching the wall for support. She nearly stumbled but caught herself, her fingers gripping the doorframe tightly.

She reached the front door, using the last bit of her strength to unlock it.

    Just seeing her name felt urgent, leaving him worried. Something tugged at him, and without thinking twice, he tapped on the message.His eyes widened as he read her text."Jess, I'm so sick. I think it's fever. It's so bad I feel like I could die. My parents aren't home, and I need you. Please come, urgently, if you can. I can't even see the alphabets clearly to type. Can you save me? If you can't, I will understand."Bruno froze when his gaze landed on the time the message was received.Then he jumped to his feet."An hour ago?!" he screamed internally, panicking as he rushed to his wardrobe to change.An hour had passed since she sent the message. Beauty must have been waiting, thinking Jessie was ignoring her. Not knowing she had accidentally sent it to him instead. Worse, she was home alone.Without wasting another second,Bruno grabbed his jacket and keys and rushed out the door.He dialed her number, hoping she would pick up, so he could reassure her that he was on his way.Unf

    Finally, Bruno's car screeched to a halt in front of Beauty's house, his heart pounding in his chest.He jumped out carrying the medical materials he bought, rushing to the front door. He knocked hard, the sound echoing through the quiet night."Beauty?" he called, his voice filled with panic.No answer.Bruno pressed the doorbell repeatedly.Still nothing.Without thinking, he tried the handle, and to his surprise, it wasn't locked.He felt a bit of relief, but then a terrifying thought came to his mind."Had she been too weak to lock it? Or had she collapsed before she could? What if someone dangerous got here before you?!"The thought made his heart race even faster.He shoved the door open and rushed inside. The house was silent-eerily so-except for the faint sound of his hurried footsteps echoing across the corridor."Beauty!" he called out.The living room was empty. He was about to rush up the stairs when he heard a groan from the kitchen.He glanced in that direction and found

    The urge to kiss her was so overwhelming that it felt like the air between them was charged with an electric pull he couldn't resist.Her lips were right there... so close, so tempting. He swallowed tightly again as his gaze stayed focused on her mouth.The idea of feeling her lips against his, of tasting her, was intoxicating. His body was screaming at him to give in to the burning desire to taste her.But then, with a jolt, he snapped back to reality. "No," he muttered under his breath, pulling back."Focus, Bruno. She's sick. What the hell are you thinking?"His hands were still shaking as he grabbed the glass of water nearby."Beauty..." he called in a whisper, carefully lifting her head, his fingers brushing the back of her neck and feeling the heat of her fever against his skin.The touch sent another jolt through him, and he bit his lip, trying to control himself.Beauty moaned softly, half-asleep, and the sound went straight to his core. He felt his shaft tighten.Her lips par

    Shelley's face was flushed with a deep redness, and her hair clung to her damp forehead. She was shivering uncontrollably despite being wrapped tightly in her blanket.More surprisingly, it was a hot afternoon!Her mother instinctively placed a hand on her forehead and felt the burning heat radiating from her skin."Oh my God, you're burning up!" she exclaimed.Shelley tried to mumble something, but her words were lost in the chattering of her teeth as she shook like a leaf in a storm.Her mother wasted no time, grabbing a nearby washcloth and rushing to the ensuite bathroom. She soaked the cloth in cool water and wring it out before gently placing it on Shelley's forehead."Where did this come from? You were fine this morning," her mother muttered to herself, pressing the cool cloth against her forehead.She reached for her phone in her pocket to call the family doctor, her hands trembling slightly as she dialed the numbers."I don't understand how this happened; I was perfectly okay

    The next morning, Beauty slowly opened her eyes, the lingering grogginess of the fever made her feel a bit heavy. The sunlight filtered softly through the curtains.As she stirred on the bed, she perceived a delicious aroma in the room. Her stomach grumbled, and for a moment, she thought Jessie had come to take care of her after all. "Jessie..."Beauty muttered weakly, her voice scratchy and faint.She shifted under the covers and realized she felt a bit better, her fever no longer burning as intensely. The towel that had been on her forehead was now resting beside her, and she noticed her clothes had been changed into something clean and comfortable, too.She must have been really out of it for Jessie to do all that."Thank you, Jessie".She muttered with a weak smile.Curious and hungry, she pushed herself up with shaky arms, still feeling a bit weak.Nevertheless, she was determined to go to the kitchen and say at least good morning to Jessie and thank her for coming to her aid i

    Meanwhile, Bruno was so focused, his eyes moving between the cookbook propped up on the counter and the pan he was stirring, completely unaware that Beauty was standing there, frozen in shock. The way his muscles flexed every time he moved, his intense concentration as he tried to follow the recipe. It was almost too much for Beauty to handle.Beauty felt her face glow redder by the second, and she quickly tried to snap out of it. She wanted to say something, anything, but her voice caught in her throat. "Why does he look so good in an apron? It's just an apron" she thought, mentally kicking herself for even thinking about it. And when he turned slightly to reach for something, Beauty's eyes went wide at the full display of his length pressing against the fabric, so low she could see the V-shaped line, and that long weight of his... "Oh... my God." She immediately slapped her hand over her mouth, trying to stifle the gasp that escaped her lips. This can't be real.Bruno, hearing

    She could hardly think straight with Bruno all over her like this. She instinctively started fanning herself with her fingers again.Her eyes darted around, desperately trying to avoid looking at him, but it was impossible to ignore how close he was, how his muscled chest and arms towered over her.He tilted his head, his expression puzzled. "Hot? It doesn't feel that warm in here..." He leaned in even closer, looking concerned and, looking genuinely confused."Maybe I should check your temperature again..."Beauty practically choked on her own breath as he leaned in, his face just inches from hers.She could smell him... God, he smelled so good...and the way his muscles flexed with every slight movement was so distracting, it made her head spin."No, no, it's fine! Really! You don't need to...um...check again! I'm okay. Just... um... just needed some air."She blurted out, stepping back quickly, her heart pounding in her chest. Bruno blinked, still concerned, but he took a small s

    Bruno, noticing Beauty's flushed face and the whole situation, finally decided to do something about it.He awkwardly cleared his throat and excused himself."I'll, uh....go put on my clothes," he muttered, rubbing the back of his neck as he hurried out of the kitchen.Beauty, still standing by the counter, took deep breaths, trying to calm her racing heart.How am I supposed to be normal after all that? She thought, fanning herself with her hand.The image of Bruno in the kitchen apron was burned into her mind, and the lower part of his body... she couldn't stop the blush from creeping up her neck.She shook her head, then something hit her."My clothes!"A few minutes later, Bruno returned, but this time in his regular clothes-thankfully more covered now in a simple T-shirt and jeans.He found Beauty hugging her body as if she were naked."You... you changed my clothes?" she asked slowly."I... apologize for that. I had to take them off because of your temperature. I didn't mean any

    "I am still waiting for your reply," Jessie said, her voice strict."I-I choose to go," Beauty said slowly.Jessie sighed and gave her a hug."I know you can do it," she whispered softly."Thanks, Jessie," Beauty murmured. Just then, Jessie's phone rang. They parted from the hug, and she took her phone from where she had left it on Beauty's bed.She glanced at the screen and saw Bruno's name flashing."Bruno?" she muttered and looked up at Beauty, who immediately felt uncomfortable and opened her mouth to say something."Hold on a sec," Jessie said instead, holding up a finger as she answered the call."Hey, Mr. Bruno, what's up?"Bruno hesitated, as if thinking about what to say."Jessie, I don't know what's going on. Beauty called me about an hour ago and said I shouldn't worry about the reunion. Did I do something wrong? Is she mad at me?"Jessie's eyes widened, and she glanced at Beauty, who was now fid

    The sun was hot in the afternoon when Jessie arrived at Beauty's home, her face brimming with excitement.It's the reunion day, and she seemed more eager than Beauty, herself.Jessie bounded up to the door, pressing the doorbell repeatedly and impatiently.Behind her, Kai, the male makeup artist, stepped out of the car.He wore a fitted pastel pink crop top that hugged his slender frame, paired with high-waisted black trousers that accentuated his long legs.His platinum blonde hair fell in soft waves, framing his delicate features, and his bold, glittery eyeliner made his blue eyes pop. A few playful piercings adorned his ears, perfectly matching his vibrant, flamboyant style.Jessie sighed as she jabbed the doorbell once more."Don't tell me she's developed cold feet. This is not the time to be nervous, Beauty," she muttered under her breath.She pressed the doorbell again, repeatedly.Her phone buzzed in

    When the call connected, the screen flickered to reveal Beyoncé sitting at the head of a large conference table. Around her were several well-dressed individuals, clearly involved in some kind of meeting.Their eyes shifted toward the screen the moment Beauty's face appeared.Beauty nervously straightened up, took a deep breath, and leaned into the screen.She was able to recognize one or two faces in fact all of them!They were her high school classmates.Beyoncé was sitting at the center. She had the most glow up.Her blonde hair cascaded around her shoulders, styled in soft waves that perfectly framed her barbie-like face.She had a flawless complexion, her rosy cheeks accentuating her wide, doll-like eyes. And that low cleavage outfit that proudly announces the fullness and heaviness of her massive bosom. Hiding nothing except the peach center."Beauty! Finally, it's great to see you again...it's been

    Sitting down on the edge of the bed, Bruno ran a hand through his tousled hair, his eyes drifting toward the window.Deep in thought.The anticipation for Beauty's school reunion event stirred a mixture of excitement and anxiety deep inside.Tomorrow is D-Day!The day he will finally confess his feelings.He may go to the Reunion as a fake Boyfriend, but he is going home as a real one.She would say yes... Jessie assured him.He laid back on the bed, staring up at the ceiling.His thoughts were consumed by the memory of how Beauty had looked at him before they said goodbye that evening.He wanted to kiss her but...Bruno let out a slow breath.Tomorrow could change everything or nothing. And that uncertainty was what kept his heart pounding.****Beauty was going through her phone, the tweets about their reunion hashtags were all over the social media platforms.Re

    Abigail rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "Ugh, don't even get me started. I'm done with male assistants. Seems like every male assistant is gay and every gay guy available wants to work here for your sake. Very straightforward individuals. I'm tired of it.""Right. So you decided on... her?" He glanced at Chloe, who was still grinning like she was meeting a celebrity.Abigail shrugged. "Why not? She's competent, and unlike the others, she's not here to swoon over you."Bruno looked back at Trivia, smiling sheepishly at him and waving with her face flushed."Very convincing".Bruno replied.Trivia face flushed more red, and she quickly looked down at her tablet, nervously tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "I.... I just admire your work, Mr. Bruno," she stammered, "but I promise I'm here to assist Ms. Abigail."Abigail gave Bruno a pointed look, grinning like the cat that got the cream. "See? She's here for me.""Right..." Bruno muttered, unconvinced. He turned and sta

    Bruno pushed open the grand mahogany door of his family mansion, feeling exhausted all over. He dared to make a decision that may likely make his father roar like a wounded lion.But for Beauty...He took a deep breath and made his way across the marble-floored living room. It had been a long, intense day, and all he wanted was some peace and quiet. Unfortunately for him, his sister, Abigail, was seated on the plush, cream-colored sectional, her eyes fixed on her laptop. The soft glow of the screen reflected off the modern, glass coffee table in front of her. She looked up from her work as he walked by, immediately catching a familiar scent in the air."That... feminine perfume?" Abigail raised an eyebrow, closing her laptop slowly. "Bruno, who is she?"Bruno rolled his eyes subtly, too tired to entertain her questions. He simply ignored her and walked toward the hallway that led to his suite. The smell she mentioned was faint but noticeable, a subtle floral scent of Beauty's perf

    "I... am sorry... I need to head out now. I've got some things to take care of before tomorrow," Bruno said softly, his eyes intensely fixed on Beauty, waiting for her reply.She nodded and met his gaze."Okay... thanks again. I appreciate it."Bruno nodded and stood there, staring down at her, his lips slightly parted. Beauty felt her throat tighten at the way he looked at her. It was like he had something more to say or... do with those lips.Jessie, of course, noticed the body language and stepped back with a smile, giving them just enough space but still watching closely.Beauty tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, looking down at her shoes for a moment before meeting Bruno's gaze again. Their eyes locked for a moment.Finally, Bruno spoke first."I... I will see you tomorrow."Jessie slapped her forehead. "Come on, Mr. Bruno! I think Beauty deserves a proper goodbye. Remember, the sedu-practice the chemistry for the reunion. A hug? A kiss on the cheek? Or something!""Not so e

    As soon as Beauty was close enough, Jessie clasped both sides of Beauty's face, turning it left and right as if inspecting a masterpiece."You look like you just stepped out of a movie! What have you done?!"Jessie snapped.Beauty laughed, a little embarrassed, stepping back shyly."It's just a haircut, Jess. I also had a little makeover, that's all. Stop with the flattering"she blushed."I am serious here girl. You look amazing!" She turned to Bruno, who was standing behind Beauty, watching Beauty with a smile on his face."Bruno, did you see this? Did you actually see how gorgeous she is?!" Jessie teased."She's always been beautiful".he said, giving Beauty a look that made her cheeks warm. "Always been beautiful," Jessie said, imitating Bruno's calm tone."That's all?! I bet you were sitting there in the car, dying inside, trying to act all cool. Look at you.Mr. Cool Guy," Jessie said, crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow.Bruno licked his lips, his smile widening as he tuck

    Beauty's breath caught instantly. "I... mean ..I want you to see yourself as a beautiful, gorgeous woman that you are".Bruno added, clenching his fingers tightly inside his pockets."That's all? Please tell me that's not all," Beauty pleaded silently, her eyes focused on him. Her pulse thrummed in her ears, and she couldn't move her eyes away from his.She waited, but nothing more came from his mouth. She had to say something."Thanks...for...everything,Sir...Bruno...Bruno".She stammered."Also...the chocolates... I enjoyed them. Thanks... you're a really nice person," she smiled back at him."It's nothing. My pleasure".Bruno replied and cursed to himself as he held the car door open for her, his heart pounding in his chest. He had wanted to tell her not just how beautiful she looked but how much she meant to him. How much he wanted her. But, as always, the words stayed trapped in his head.What the hell is wrong with him?!"Thank you," Beauty said softly, stepping into the car.
