HIS TRUE BEAUTY

In front of me stood Tim, my ex boyfriend and first love , who dumped me after our first night then went on and mocked me infront of his friends.

He was wrapped up arm to arm with a beautiful slender lady, she Isn’t the person he cheated on me with, but she looked very beautiful, that I was jealous of her, her body proportions were insane, the beauty standard lot of man crave for.

“Well…I…I ..”.

I don’t know what to say, what am I doing in a place like this without a date.

Just then Bruno caught up with us, and stood behind me like a guard would do.

“Who is this?”Nathan asked, his face looked really envious looking at Bruno.

He looked intimidated by his height and appearance I guess.

Mr bruno is that type of man that can make good looking men appear stupid.

I sighed deeply.

“My co_worker and Boss’s son”.

“He looked familiar though”.

The lady with him contributed, gazing very hard at Bruno.

“Hy I am Nathan, her ex boyfriend”.

He extended his hand towards Bruno.

I cursed what a day for me, this is so shameful.

“Ex boyfriend? Your loss”.

Bruno said calmly, and accepted his handshake

Nathan got mad at that statement and pulled his hand off from the handshake roughly.

“I am sure it’s the opposite, no one would be happy to skip on a hippo everynight”.

Nathan sneered and faked a laugh, his new girlfriend joined him.

“You must have dated alot of animals, so you finally settled for…..(he glance over at the lady with him) a worm?”

…

Oh no! What are they doing? I stole a glance at the girl, she felt that but she seem to like Bruno not minding his words.

“Guys why don’t we go to a place and talk things out huh? I am Stacy by the way”.

His new girl seem nice, she offered me a handshake, I accepted and smiled back awkwardly.

“I am Bea”.

At this point I don’t want anyone to mock me because of my name.

Stacy wasn’t even offended by their argument.

We got into the hotel, romantic garden, we got a table for four and sat down.

Bruno pulled the chair for me, and help me with the order.

I wished he didn’t, Nathan would think I am now Bruno’s play thing, that’s why he is acting nice to me.

After minutes of silence, Nathan started.

“I apologise for everything Beauty, if you are holding any grudge against me please forgive me”.

I looked up shocked at that statement, it was unexpected.

Is this the same Nathan that dumped me years ago, apologizing?

Maybe he’s changed, I going to tear up.

“It’s fine, we are good Nathan”.

“I just want myou to understand, I reallly can’t keep up with the snores and drolling at night, the fish smell, the odours, the heaviness..”

Dude is still same as*h**e.

“I understand you Nathan, you can stop apologizing I have forgiven you long ago, you are not going to experience all of that anymore, you got a better woman now”.

I cuts in, I know what he is doing, to make me feel bad again, what did I ever do to him, to deserve all this humiliation.

Nathan turned to Bruno.

“So you are her co_worker? What are you two doing here I mean this place is nothing like an office related”.

He asked Bruno with a mocking grin but Bruno simply ignored him.

Just thenn Stacy screamed in high pitch tone.

“Oh my! Now I get it, I knew it”.

We all turned to her confused .

“I said it , you looked like someone familiar, you are .. Bruno Hathaway, the young billionaire and heart stealer, my favorite fashion idol, oh my! I am following you on all social media platforms, I love you so much. I am a huuuuge fan, oh my gosh!”

Stacy snapped excitedly at Bruno.

“Can you lower your voice please”Nathan snapped angrily at her.

The excited lady nodded, Nathan jealousy was obvious.

“Well Some rumours also had it that he is also gay”.

Nathan continued.

“What’s wrong with gay people?”Stacy fired at him.

“Well the rumours are wrong, I am sexually attracted to ladies”.

Bruno said slowly.

“Awwww that’s sweet”.

Stacy snapped and winked, smiling sheepishly at Bruno.

Stacy kept getting flirty with Bruno even in Nathan’s presence.

The food we ordered were brought to us, I was nervous about the whole conversation so I rushed the soup and spilled it on my body.

My face blanked out with shame.

“Oops sorry”

Stacy said to me.

Before I could get my handkerchief from my bag, Bruno already got his and quickly started cleaning the stains.

“Are you hurt?”

He asked in a whisper.

I ignored him, I knew Nathan must be staring at us.

“Let me see your palm?”

Bruno said, I hesitated then showed him.

He damped my palm with his handkerchief and gave me to clean my chest and laps.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

After I couldn’t look up, I was so embarrassed, I know I will embarrass myself infront of Nathan.

“I wish I had someone to look at me the way Bruno Hathaway looks at you, it’s like his eye is meant only for your body, fixed, are you guys really co_workers? because I love this chemistry”.

Stacy suddenly gushed.

I glanced at Bruno, same thing he looked at me , our eyes met.

I adjusted a little from him.

“He got a target , once he gets it, my old friend will be broken again”Nathan said with a smirk and drank his wine.

“Come on babe, don’t sound so shallow, not all Men are like that”

Stacy cuts in.

“So apart from gossiping like a woman, and being shorter than three of us, what else you do for a living?”

Nathan’s drink went into his throat that instant and he had to cough.

Bruno said something that offensive with a straight face nad a calm voice.
