HIS TRUE BEAUTY

I sighed.

“But frankly there’s something I noticed, Mr Bruno had this personality with you more than the rest of us…do you remember when he asked me to help him…I am pretty sure he was trying to make you jealous”.

“Well that’s ridiculous…there’s only one reason he would want someone like me, to know how it feels being with a plus size or being with someone of a lower class”.

What!

Why is she so insecure!

“Beauty, how many times will I tell you to stop being this pathetic? You are a very gorgeous woman and your soul is even more beautiful. Stop looking down on yourself for crying out loud”.

“This is my way of being strong Jessi, I am no kid anymore, I don’t need to listen to those sugar coated compliments about how I am beautiful. Men are blunt and say the truth no matter what, three of them told me what I am actually like and I believe them, believing that I am ugly will make bad words about my looks feel normal”.

She paused.

I notice drops down her cheeks.

“I don’t want to keep believing in lies.. Jessi…so please don’t think I am looking down on myself, I am just being honest, I am nothing but a fat ugly woman, who doesn’t suit the world’s standard”.

Does she even know what fat is!

Before I could oppose that , Ferd’s assistant, May, called our attention with a walkie talkie.

“The foodstuffs are provided for the roomates, cook for yourselves also the bus for the woods photography shoots and explore will be here in 3hrs make sure you are ready for the woods, as a fashionista you know how to dress for this explore out in the nature”she announced.

I rolled my eyes.

“Hey Miss assistant, Can you lower your voice next time you sound like a witch over that talkie walkie”.

“Shut the f**k up Jessi!”

she yelled into the talkie walkie.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Some of our colleagues laughed.

I wanted to fight back then Beauty tapped me to caution me that Manager’s coming

Ferd walked in the room

“Hope you delivered the message May”

“Yes sir”.

She answered tightly and gave Jessi a insultive look.

“Okay then start cooking if you’re hungry Ofcourse, if you’re not, suit yourself, the kitchen is big enough for all of you”

He ordered

Just then the host entered the living room with basket of gifts and flowers

“Bueno dias todos”Lola the Colombian stylist greeted delightfully

“Bruno .. what?”I snapped amused

“It means goodmoring everyone dumbass”.

Beauty whispered into my ears with a tiny slap on my cheek.

“I know, I just want you to react, you seen very obsessed with that name”.

I smiled back.

Her face reddened that instant.

“Jessi stop with that!”

She snapped nervously.

I chuckled.

“Alright alright”.

“Come pick your gift packages, It’s an outfit for each of you, with the help of Mrs Helen, I got your perfect sizes,”

Lola annouced.

I picked the one with my name labeled on it, it looked beautiful.

“Yours is my fav señorita”

Lola said smiling at Beauty.

“Emm, muchas gracìas”

she replied shyly.

“I don’t know you speak spanish”

I whispered to her.

“I am bad at it too, just exchanging peasantries”.

“Take Bruno’s he is the only one still sleeping by this time”

I whispered to her again.

She reluctantly took his and went into their room to give it to him.

I quickly rested my head on the slightly opened door to peep and listen

Ignoring if others are watching.

He just finished working out, I hope to have him a fitness coach one day.

“Why did you have to bring mine, the assistant can do it”

He snapped angrily.

“Well I was forced to take it actually , not like I wanted to”.

I heard Beauty reply.

She threw the package on the bed and removed her jacket exposing a low neck sleeveless bodice.

Bea, is blessed with front goodness, I must confess but why is she pulling her jacket all of a sudden?

“What are you doing…, are you going out there wearing that?”

He asked with a spark of anger in his eyes.

“Do you have a problem with my dressing?”

Beauty asked.

He closed his eyes and folded his hands.

“As a matter of fact no, as a man I will be honest with you, you look better covered up, frankly no one wants to see all that fat?

“Ouchhhh too far Bruno”

I screamed in my head.

Beauty was silent for a while, Bruno too.

He must surely be regretting everything now, and for Beauty I hope she is strong enough to handle this.

“Going to cook for myself, don’t worry about the fats, I wasn’t dressing to impress you or anyone out there, when you are hungry go and cook for yourself!”

She snapped and walked towards the door.
