As they finished breakfast, Beauty’s mother, Mrs. Hill got up to fetch something from the fridge.Opening the door, she peered inside.She sighed and closed it with a slight frown. “It looks like we’re out of a few things,” she said, glancing over at Beauty.“I was thinking about going to the grocery store today. Do you mind going instead? I have a few things to take care of around the house.”Beauty nodded readily, wiping her mouth with a napkin.“Sure, I can go. I was planning to run a few errands today anyway.”A few errands or maybe a therapeutic walk to get her emotions in check. First about her high school reunion invitation and now.Her little cousin who just got engaged.Mrs. Hill smiled back to her daughter, appreciative. “Thanks honey. Just make sure to take your umbrella with you. It’s looking cloudy out there, and I wouldn’t want you to get caught in the rain. You have a thing for colds you know.”Beauty glanced out the window and saw the gray clouds gathering, heavy an
“He wasn't wearing anything that speaks celebrity, just a simple Hoodie and sweatpants, he was still able to pull a large crowd. Unfortunately for him, anything on that body of his will appear expensive and hotter. He should put more effort and wear a face mask. That face will always attract female admirers”Beauty pouted.She looked closer and noticed his awkwardness.“That smile definitely looked forced, poor Bruno, he hates such attention. He must be praying to disappear from there”. Beauty said to herself.When the women finally dispersed, satisfied with their encounter, Bruno turned to continue his shopping. Beauty waited, counting to ten in her head before daring to peek around the corner.The coast seemed clear.“Thank goodness, I better grab the things I need and leave before he sees me”.She murmured with relief.Quickly, she straightened up and headed for the next item on her list.She needed a jar of honey from the top shelf, but as she stood before it, she realized with a
Since she's finished with her shopping and headed to the checkout.She found herself smiling at the little conversation she had with Bruno playing in her head, and how he handed her the cake mix.It felt like she was in one of those K-dramas with a tall, handsome male lead.Well, except that I have never seen an actor that can compare to him."Oh my goodness, he is so handsome up close!"She giggled.He just gave her a K-drama moment. The way he stood behind her like that hot handsome tall main character in a romantic drama.Well, the only difference is that none of them had the same attractiveness as Mr. Bruno.She can't wait to give Jessie the full gist. First, she needs to stop thinking about it or her face will be so red and make her excitement obvious.The cashier at the checkout desk cleared her throat loudly to get her attention.Beauty blinked, only then did she realize she had been acting weirdly in front of the cashier."You are next in the line""Oh sorry..."Beauty murmu
"Even if I get a monthly payment, I would never date that whale"."At Least, she helps with homework".She heard them say as they laughed again and walked away.Beauty recalled how she walked through the rain, tears mingling with the raindrops on her cheeks, her heart heavy with sadness.Coughing and shivering.Her parents had warned her to always stay warm because of her condition.By the time she reached home, she was completely soaked with water and a sudden fever had claimed her.Her mother looked up from the kitchen, concerned all over her face."Beauty, you're soaked! What happened? Where is your umbrella, you are prone to cold" her mother asked, rushing to her side with a towel."I hate myself! Why am I so fat!"She cried loudly.Her mother paused instantly in fear, it wasn't a surprise scenery.The next reaction was necessary.She quickly took her phone to call their home doc
"Are you okay?"Bruno's voice cuts into her thoughts.She looked up and met his gaze, he looked genuinely worried about her.Maybe she is just overthinking all this, all this kindness is just more than she hoped for.Why will he be so kind to her?Is he this kind to everyone else?"Beauty...?"Beauty's heart leaped, and she blinked back to reality."Yes...yes sir... I ...am okay...thanks for the raincoat".Beauty replied nervously."You don't have to thank me for it".Bruno replied softly.Beauty nodded, holding her breath. It wasn't intentional; it was a reflex action to hand over her arm, holding her close to him like a gentleman.She so much wished it to be her waist instead, but that may likely be possible in another life.Together, they walked towards the parking lot in silence.Beauty wondered if she should ask him for a ride.But it's probably a bad idea, her parents will have questions, thousands, and thousands of questions.Also, the possibility that he would say no is much h
He looked at Beauty with a soft smile, his eyes warm and gentle, holding out the outfit towards her.The scent of his cologne was all over the outfit, she can't possibly turn this down! But what if it's a test to see if she can accept it?What lady will just accept an outfit from a man like that.Maybe afterward he can mock her In front of everyone at the company.She sneezed loudly."I guess I have no choice".She said to herself and took the clothes, feeling a bit overwhelmed by his generosity."I will take them".Beauty said slowly and took the hoodie and sweatpants with trembling hands, her fingers brushing against his as she did. His touch was warm, yet it sent a jolt through her that made her pulse quicken.She gave him a shy smile in return, trying to keep her composure. "Thanks," she mumbled, hoping he couldn't see the blush on her cheeks."Will it be my size? Please be my size!"She prayed silently."The back seat will be better so you can be comfortable".Bruno suggested.
Beauty stepped out of the back seat, looking slightly self-conscious in his hoodie and sweatpants. From Bruno's perspective.She looked incredible!The sleeves were a little too long for her hands. The sweatpants hugged her hips, emphasizing the natural shape he had always admired from afar. She looked natural, like she belonged in that hoodie. And that realization made his chest tighten in a way that his breath hitch and his heart ached. He never knew that outfit could look that good. Maybe because the body that is wearing it. It was loose on him, but on her, it's like a gym wear, showing every curve.Now that she is in his pants and hoodie. What next?She will be in his arms?Bruno swallowed tightly.Also, is she wearing an underwear down there?Just curious, possibly not, that's why she had her hand covering her front side.So we've been inside the same pants without underwear?We just had sex indirectly! Can we make a baby too?What will our kid's name be?"Sir Bruno? Is ever
"We are not a couple, not like we can ever be one! Stop thinking that and fantasizing! You will only get hurt by reality! And stop looking!"She yelled inside her head.Unfortunately, it was as if Beauty had lost control of her own eyes as they involuntarily traveled down the length of his torso, taking in the way his shirt molded to the ridges of his abs. From her side eye, trying not to get caught, she could see the faint trail of hair leading down from his navel, a detail that made her stomach flutter.She swallowed again.Jessie had told her that the ones with pretty faces have a small size, but that bulge doesn't look small at all. Besides, the men she's been with are not pretty faces, does it mean those sizes are big?She paused her thoughts abruptly as she noticed something else.The bulge us growing bigger!Wait, is he hard?Her heart skipped and her throbbing clit got intense.Just then, Bruno reached for the hem of his soaked shirt and pulled it over his head, revealing his
"So this is my contact..." Nia said, typing her number into Beauty's phone.Just then, someone clicked a wine glass with a fork to grab everyone's attention. The room fell silent as all eyes turned toward the podium.Beyoncé stood on the podium, smiling forcefully like a beauty pageant contestant."Good evening, everyone! It's truly wonderful to see so many familiar faces here tonight. Welcome to Prestige High School Reunion, Class of 2014!"The crowd erupted in applause, cheers echoing throughout the room."Well, the Bee is about buzz," Nia commented, rolling her eyes.Beauty felt her heart racing at that instant.Beyoncé would surely get back at her, and she would do it in a very unexpected way.Nia smiled brightly, her enthusiasm contagious."Thanks a lot. Oh my goodness, I was so nervous you would say no. If I were you, I would say no, but thanks a lot! We should definitely hang out sometime. I'd love to
Bruno, sensing Beauty's shyness, stood up and turned to the man, mistaking both for her classmates."You better speak to her nicely, or else...""Bruno!" Beauty snapped in shock.Nia and her husband exchanged glances, their faces darkening at Bruno's threat."I... I understand, but please, I am not here to make her feel uncomfortable. I came to ask her for forgiveness. I am Nia, and he is my husband, not a classmate," she introduced awkwardly.Bruno's eyes lowered a bit, embarrassed. He sat down slowly."I apologize; please have a seat with us," he replied, his tone suddenly friendly."Thank you," Nia replied with a smile, and she whispered to her husband, probably to calm him down after Bruno's threat.Beauty felt her cheeks warm as she looked up at Nia, who was radiating confidence and happiness."Hey, Nia," she finally managed to say, her voice barely above a whisper.Nia smiled happily and took her hands, maki
After the photoshoot, Bruno and Beauty walked into the party room, which was buzzing with laughter and chatter. The vibrant decorations created a festive atmosphere, with colorful balloons and streamers hanging from the ceiling. The sound of clinking glasses and lively music filled the air."Wow!" Beauty gasped."Are you okay?" Bruno whispered, taking her hand.Beauty nodded and smiled at him. "Just happy to see everyone again.""Even though they were rude and mean to you?" Bruno asked.Beauty smiled back at him. "They were high schoolers; it's a teenage attitude.""You know that's not how it works. A bully is a bully, no matter their age," Bruno replied, then scanned the room until he found an empty table in the corner, away from the crowd, and settled down."Great, a quiet corner," Bruno said beneath his breath."Come on, I found a table," he said softly, leading her to the spot.His presence didn't go unnoticed; eyes
Beauty watched from behind, feeling even smaller as the seconds dragged on. Everyone around her seemed so at ease, so comfortable in their skin, while she felt every insecurity bubbling to the surface.Her uniform was the largest size available, and though it was too big, she had to wear it since no senior was bigger than her.When it was finally Beauty's turn, her heart raced. The photographer's initial excitement quickly turned to impatience."Alright, let's get this over with," he muttered under his breath, not even bothering to look at her as he adjusted the camera.Beauty's stomach twisted into knots. She took her place in front of the camera, unsure of where to stand or how to pose. Already uncomfortable in her own skin, she now felt all eyes on her.The photographer barely hid his irritation. "Okay, um... maybe turn a little to the side. No, no, not like that. Try sucking in your stomach a bit... and could you lift your chin a little higher?
Beauty and Bruno stood on the red carpet, the flashing lights from the cameras illuminating their every move. Beauty felt as if every gaze was on her, silently judging.She panicked and smiled awkwardly at the camera, feeling uneasy. She had too many traumatic experiences with photographers in the past.Bruno noticed and leaned in close, whispering in her ear, "You look stunning... just focus on me."His voice was like a soothing balm to her frazzled nerves.Beauty took a deep breath and looked up to see him smiling at her. He leaned down further and whispered, "Actually, I needed you to look at me because I don't like the way those men are looking at you.""With disgust?" Beauty whispered back."Disgust? Impossible. They're staring with admiration and lust instead. You're so beautiful. That's why. But don't worry, you're mine now."Beauty was speechless, feeling a chill when Bruno's hand rested protectively on her waist, pulling her
Aliyah and Beyoncé froze at the awkward situation, looking around embarrassed as the kiss drew attention.Those two are out of their minds!A soft moan escaped Beauty's lips as Bruno's hand slid to her back, pulling her tighter against him. The sensation of his fingers pressing into her waist sent a shiver of desire down her spine.Bruno, on the other hand, was consumed by the moment. It was his first kiss, and yet it felt so natural, as if his body had been waiting for this moment all along.Of course, his body had been waiting!The feel of Beauty's lips against his was more intoxicating than he had ever imagined. He couldn't stop kissing her.Her taste, her warmth, the way her body fit perfectly against his-it was everything. It stirred up feelings he had never experienced before. His heart pounded in his chest, his mind clouded with nothing but the need to hold her, to feel her respond to him.The kiss deepened, and Bruno's
As the polished black limousine glided to a halt in front of the mansion, a hush fell over the crowd gathered outside.Heads turned, whispers floated through the air, and the excitement of the party dimmed momentarily as everyone's attention shifted to the luxurious car.It was clear this was no ordinary arrival; the anticipation crackled like electricity.With a smooth motion, the uniformed driver stepped out and opened the rear door."They're not joking. Who could that be?!" someone gushed in the crowd.Bruno emerged first, his tall figure commanding attention. Dressed in an expensive suit-though not from F&F to avoid suspicion and attention-he stood out. The suit emphasized his broad shoulders and trim waist."That is definitely the most handsome guy at the party," Aliyah whispered, and Beyoncé smirked."I found a one-night stand now... Who's the bitch? Happy breakup day," she smirked to herself.The moment Bruno
EAST ASIAShelley walked into the house, her footsteps heavy and her face clouded with frustration. She dropped her bag by the door with a sigh and made her way into the living room, where her mother sat comfortably on the couch, knitting.The rhythmic click of needles filled the cozy room as her mother hummed softly to herself."Good evening, Mom," Shelley said, walking straight to the refrigerator to get herself a cold drink.Her mother looked up from her knitting and smiled warmly at her daughter."You're home early," she noted, her fingers still working skillfully through the yarn.Shelley said nothing and kept gulping down the water like she had been deprived of fluids for a lifetime."What's wrong, Shelley? You look like the weight of the world is on your shoulders," her mother asked again.Shelley stopped drinking and sighed. She put the bottle of water back into the fridge and walked to the couch, her shoulders slumping
The evening air was filled with laughter, chatter, and distant music at the legendary Prestigious School's outdoor garden.Decorated with a large budget, a red carpet, a glow-up photo stand, a pool, and an archery target with your worst teacher's picture, many interesting and fun activities were available at the event.The guests and former classmates were already mingling, sipping drinks, and greeting each other excitedly.The huge hotel, where they would all be spending the night, was a new project sponsored by Beyoncé. Beautifully lit, it made the perfect backdrop for the reunion party.At the entrance, Beyoncé sat confidently on a plush chair, directing the flow of guests. Dressed in a sparkling, fitted sequin gown worth millions, she looked every bit the queen of the night. Of course, the award for the most expensive and well-dressed would be hers.Her closest friend, Aliyah, equally stylish, sat by her side with a judgmental loo
