HIS TRUE BEAUTY

His words were so soft, it’s the least you can expect from a man who just got rejected by you.

“I can’t Drew, my parents wanted me to move on, I and I can’t face everyone in his family after what happened between his father and I. I am so ashamed and so hurt, I can’t imagine being with him again, and that scary video of me doing those things kept hunting my nights ….

I sobbed.”But still I can’t get over him… Drew i really appreciate all you have done, I just want to raise my son alone, I don’t think I would be able to love again, Bruno is everything I live for”.

Surprisingly he damped my wet face smiling.

“I understand, for example I was just like you after my girlfriend died in an auto accident, years past I never thought I would feel like this again till I met you at the airport , but your happiness matters the most, so tell me , I will support you, let’s go back to the states and get you reconcile with Bruno”he replied.

I smiled back at his kindness.

“My parents will be disappointed, I made them believe that I am okay without him, they asked me to forget about him, his family and move on. I can’t bear to see them hurt again because of my choice, that’s why I decided not to let them know about Junior, besides Bruno and I have been apart for so long, I don’t want to bring back hurtful memories, I just pray he finds love again”.

“But what about your feelings? Since you are still very much inlove with him, why don’t you follow your heart, I am sure your parents will be happy instead of being disappointed in you”Drew stated.

“Thanks for your concern Drew, but I have made my choice”.

i stood up, picked my bag and went into the room.

**BRUNO’S POV **

I heard the noise coming from outside the office, I tried to ignore them, until I heard the name Beauty continuously, my heart raced, I got up and rushed out of my office.

There I found Beauty, I blinked uncontrollably, and wiped my face to make sure I wasn’t dreaming.

I still can’t believe it was Beauty that I saw, she was looking different but it was her, it was really her!

I ran and hugged her tightly not minding the stares from my workers.

“Happy birthday to you sir!”

Everyone of them chorused, happily they cheered for us.

I didn’t want to let go, I was praying for this to not be a dream, I closed my eyes tightly to seal by the tears in them.

Everyone in the room continued cheering loudly.

“I can’t breathe well Bruno, let go, just let go”Bea whispered .

I hugged even tighter as if I don’t understand english anymore, my heart was full, I never thought a day like this will come.

“I thought I lost you..(i kissed her cheek)I missed you so much, soo very much , I. .. am so sorry about everything, i promise you , nothing is ever going to separate us again”.

I sobbed happily, I felt stupid after realizing I once made a promise like that and I failed her.

“Okay that’s enough Bruno I really want to breathe, you are squeezing me, I am not chubby anymore! And everyone is watching!”.

She pushed me off a little harsh, catching her breathes , in between tiny coughs.

Her colleagues laughed out loud.

“Are you okay?”I asked passionately.

“Do I look okay to you!”

She sounded different and hard, well I don’t except her to come back with smiles after being made a sex play thing by my own father.

I wanted to help but she stopped me and went to sit on her desk.

I stood there smiling sheepishly, well this is the best birthday ever, as long as Beauty is here, she came back for me right, that means she still love me, as much I do, thank goodness geez I thought I was going to die.

I wiped my face with my palm laughing in tears.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Let’s party everyone you are invited to my place time 8. 00pm”I announced.

The looks on their faces was priceless, I guess it’s because they haven’t seen me that loud and happy before.

They cheered and side talk back as they return back to their various departments.

I stared at Beauty smiling, she didn’t even look at me, she was still serious tidying up her desk, my body and all of me still itching for her.

So I foolishly went to her, my teeth unable to close.

“You kill every look babe, chubby and slim”I teased , leaning towards her from the back, holding the urge to kiss her.

Her neck smelt so nice, she didn’t seem impressed by my words.

“You will be my special guest today , what do you say?”I asked with a wink.

“I am never stepping my feet in that house”she said bluntly.

“Actually I bought another one, not my Dad’s “I replied.

She looked up and smiled, I smiled back expecting a positive reply.

But that was it, she didn’t say another word, I guess it’s a yes then shamefully I went back to the office.

“Yes!”I shouted happily , so happy I danced to my phone ringtone, ignoring the caller.

Jessi opened the door.

“Sir… I have been calling your business line”.

I hugged her out of joy.

She freezes , she never expected me to hug her.

“Thank you, thank you Jessi, I know you helped to get her back to me, thank you, you are a darling mmmuwaaa “I kissed her cheek.

She just chuckled nervously and forced herself out of my embrace.

“You should not do that to every lady, I had to let go because you are Beauty’s man, you are too handsome to let go”she teased with flustered cheeks.

I chuckled embarrassed and scratched the back of my head.

“Well I am happy that you are happy boss, we’ve missed this happy you for long time, sir Bruno”.

“Ofcourse me too, I felt so alive after the past years”.

Then I stopped and went pale.

Jessi noticed.

“What happened boss?”

” I am afraid It didn’t feel same, maybe I am confusing my excitement with how i actually fell”.

“I don’t understand sir Bruno”.

“She’s here now right? And I didn’t feel like i used to before, when I gave her a hug”I replied.

Jessie went silent, like she understood what I was saying but I am sure she is rather confused at my strange behavior.

I chuckled out .

“Maybe I am just exaggerating, her energy wasn’t friendly but I know with time I will make her fall in love with me again”.

I said with a hopeful smile.
