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.
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
"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
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
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
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
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
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
"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
