HIS TRUE BEAUTY

“You can sit with Mr Tim over there”.

Jessi said and pointed at Tim who looked not happy about it.

Peaches hesitated then she got up from the floor where she had fallen, and went to seat with Tim as instructed.

Jessie was alone in her own world , sitting on the opposite couch, she was literally watching us four instead of the movie, then she stood up and went to the refrigerator.

Beauty’s Mom met with her, they talked after she came back with ice cream and snacks.

**BEAUTY’S POV**

I am really mad, the girl Peach is getting on my nerves. She kept flirting with Bruno, where he never gave her the attention, but he seems to be enjoying it.

I stood angrily, folded my hands.

All of them turned their gaze at me, I stormed out of the sitting room angrily and went inside my room.

I expected Bruno to follow, he didn’t.

I waisted for minutes, it was so embarrassing, I felt like crying.

The door knob finally turned, I quickly squeezed my face, ready to yell out my frustration.

“What do you think you are doing by getting that girl here?”

I queried.

He smiled.

“Why are you mad sweetie it’s just Peaches, you cute you know that”he chuckled staring at me softly.

I blinked trying not to fall for his charms. I turned my face from him.

“Don’t act dumb to me, what game are you playing?”

I looked back for an answer he simply shrugged.

“Oh, I know why! You said you needed my attention in the room. I ignored you you, that’s why you invited someone to satisfy you”.

He was just laughing making me more angry, I feel stupid.

“I am sorry but you are adorable”.

“Knock knock!”

I turned and found Jessie.

“What are you doing here?”

I screamed at her.

“You know, guys, it’s too early to fight, you been together for two days”.

I frowned at her.

Bruno held me from the back, pecked my head which was under his chin, because of the height difference.

Still angry so I push him away.

“Jessie can you please leave!”

Jessie rolled her eyes.

“You know I love it when you two fight, it’s just less annoying than when you are happy with each other, by the way the reality show I was watching won’t be complete without you two, come back to the sitting room please”.

She said and sip her drink.

I remove my flip flop she quickly ran off.

“Admit it baby, you are jealous, now you know how I feel with Tim around”

Bruno said smiling satisfied.

“Oh is that your plan? Sorry sir but I am not”.

“Admit it”

He said in a whisper, his hands circling my waist.

“I am not! I will prove it”

I snapped and pull away from him.

He smirked and rolled his tongue.

“Fine, if you insist”.

I left the room heading back to sitting room, he followed.

I got back to my seat, frowning at the television. I tried not to glue to him anymore, honestly he was right but worse, I was feeling intimidated by her, insecure. Tim is nothing close to Bruno in looks but for me. Peach is definitely a 10.. how can I compete with her?

“Wow, the scene changed”

Jesie cuts into my mind, sipping her wine and popcorn.

“So tell me about work Tim?”

I started a conversation.

“Well I actually have my own company now”.

“Wow that’s lovely!”

I exclaimed excitedly.

“You know you’ve always wanted that for a long time, I am glad you made your dream come true”.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Not like I wanted our friendship back”

He replied.

“Aww! Tim”.

“I hope this one lasts”.

“Awww! Tim”

“Can you even hear him out, before you answer, you just kept saying awww Tim”

Bruno cuts in.

“As a matter of fact , no, I think I should sit closer, peaches can you sit with Bruno please”.

I glanced at him.

He shrugged carefreely.

Excited Peach went and sat with him.

Jessie coughed out laughing at the drama, Tim was lost in the whole thing.

“You really have a nice slender body Peaches”

He complimented her.

“Thanks Sir Bruno, I am on a diet, my waist is 20 inches, the thinnest , you can grab to check”.

The crazy girl continued , then stood up and Bruno held her waist his huge hands covered it up.

“Wow! That’s really small”.

Bruno snapped.

Peaches giggled and sat down.

I was stamping feet angry, Tim and Jessi noticed, at this point I can’t take it anymore.

“I don’t think I can continue this relationship!”

I screamed out loud.

Every head turned to me puzzled except Bruno. That handsome devil was still smiling.

“Well I guess I am now a single man, let’s celebrate”.

He stood up and got drinks for everyone, even had the guts to offer me one.

I rejected it as fast as lightening.

After an hour or so, they had dinner made by Mom. I lost my appetite so I didn’t care to join them. Mother cane trying to convince me but I was stubborn.

“Bro what’s the time please?”

Bruno called out to Tim, who looked as shock as I was to hear Bruno call him that.

“Emmm, 8. 45.?”

“Thanks, our match is by 9:00 PM”.

He replied.

I angrily stood up from the couch and pretend a yawn.

“It’s time to sleep, good night everyone”.

“Take me with you, baby”.

Peach sobbed, she has been drinking carelessly and now drunk.

Jessie’s already asleep on the couch.

I looked back at Peaches if I leave her here with Bruno in this her condition who knows what might happen.

I glanced back at Bruno, he looked at me and smiled.

I helped her up and took her to our room.

An hour later… till unable to sleep.

I could tell Bruno and Tim are relating so well.

i heard them scream goal in chorus.

I closed my eyes and buried my face under the blanket crying.

He is not even sad like I am, is he truly happy and forgotten about me?

Why can’t I just confess it. I was jealous and I need him with me.

**BRUNO’S POV**

I woke up on the couch, hot, tight and heavy around my crotch, beads of sweat summomed on my forehead.

I glanced at my phone, it’s 1:am, then my glance shifted to Tim.

He was sleeping on the other couch , he was deep asleep, snoring.

I took my phone and texted Beauty.

“Are you awake?”

I sighed deeply, my heart was racing in an unbearable way.

I hope she replies, is she asleep?

Did she really mean that statement of being done?

I hope not..

I hope not.
