She had never paid attention to something as subtle as her brother's cologne, and the fact that Raymond had been so aware of it made her realize how deeply Raymond's feelings for Bruno ran. "Wait," she said, processing his words. "You're saying Bruno had a feminine fragrance on him?"Raymond rolled his eyes in frustration. He didn't want to go into details, he felt jealous of that strange woman out there. "Yeah. And it wasn't faint, either. It was all over him. His clothes, his skin...everything." He glanced down, fidgeting slightly. "Whoever she is, he must've been really all over her. I also suspect that the hoodie is not his. Bruno never wears anything apart from gray color and black colored""This is unbelievable".Bruno was known for being reserved and keeping to himself, never one to flaunt any relationships or even hint at having a romantic life. If what Raymond was saying was true, it meant Bruno had a secret female lover and Abigail had no idea."Are you sure?" she ask
"Why do you hate me? You've always loved your little sister when we were young, but now you hardly listen to me! It's sad...it's heartbreaking...it's so hard for me...please open the door, don't lock me out... I will die".She faked crying.Sighing in frustration, he reluctantly walked to the door and opened it, trying to keep his expression neutral. "You should leave modeling, go into the movie industry and show off your talent".Bruno told her.Abigail immediately stopped her acting and dried off her tears. Without warning, she leaned in and sniffed the air like a bloodhound, her nose twitching."Did you just... sniff me?" Bruno asked, incredulous.Abigail ignored his question, raising an eyebrow. "You smell different."Bruno frowned, stepping back instinctively. "I don't know what you're talking about.""Oh, don't play dumb, Bruno She gave him a knowing look, her curiosity piqued. "You smell like a woman. It's all over you...all these while I thought you were innocent'"He r
Monday morning, Beauty arrived at the company with a heavy heart, her usual brightness was dulled by the storm of emotions swirling in her mind. She couldn't stop thinking about her conversation with Jessie last night. Jessie had sounded so excited when Beauty asked her to go ahead with Bruno, yet it wasn't from her deepest heart.Beauty knew she shouldn't feel this way because Bruno wasn't hers, after all. But the thought of Jessie getting closer to him, and even pursuing him, twisted her insides in ways she hadn't expected.As she stepped into the designer's office, her eyes darted around, instinctively searching for Bruno. She told herself to calm down and act like nothing happened."Don't be jealous! Beauty. It's just Jessie. She's your best friend. You can't be upset about this".She scolded herself internally.But no matter how much she tried to reason with herself, the pain was undeniable.The thought of someone else getting close to Bruno, let alone her best friend Jessie
Beauty wasn't her usual self.Normally, she'd greet him with a smile or a shy blush, her eyes lighting up whenever their gazes met. Even before they ever had a conversation. She was always smiling whenever they made eye contact."Perhaps the same with the rest of them".He thought as he noticed the female staff smiling and giggling at his new look.However, he attracted him in a different way. But today, she didn't even acknowledge his presence. She kept her head down, busying herself with whatever task was in front of her, avoiding any eye contact.Bruno's heart felt like his heart just got ripped out of its chamber.He tried to catch her eye, by intentionally walking In Front of her desk with the hope of sparking even a small greeting, but she barely glanced in his direction. She looked...determined to avoid him at all means, like she was deliberately putting up a wall between them.*What's going on? Did I do something wrong?*Bruno thought, feeling the sharp sting of anxiety prick
Eric, a tall, handsome and well-built man with smooth brown skin that glowed under the soft office lighting. His curly hair and honey brown eyes complimented his skin color.His chiseled jawline, perfectly trimmed beard and that perfect dentition was easily noticed by the female staff in the room. They giggled softly, their voices low, but their eyes never left the handsome newbie.He is an attractive one for sure.Eric had approached Beauty's desk with a soft smile, clutching a few files in his hand. He was still getting used to the company's workflow, and Beauty to him appeared to be the kindest and easy going although today, she seemed unusually moody and not the approachable person he had expected. Despite this, Eric gathered his courage and stepped forward. The pretty privilege can come to his aid this time.Beauty was reading an email to her inbox about the School Reunion."Beyoncé Robin? She is the main sponsor?"She cursed as remembered the particular incident where the sc
Eric smiled back."Thanks, Beauty. I sincerely appreciate your help," Eric said, his smile widening as he caught her gaze. "I've been struggling to get the hang of things around here, and you've made it so much easier... You're as beautiful as your heart. Thank you".Beauty chuckled softly, waving off the compliment, her cheeks flushed."No problem, Eric. I'm happy to help."As she spoke, she unconsciously brushed a lock of hair behind her ear, and Eric's eyes flickered to the movement, admiring the small, graceful gesture. Bruno saw it too, and something in him snapped. The way Eric was looking at her...like she was more than just a helpful co-worker...made Bruno feel like he was going to explode. She hadn't even looked at Bruno today, but here she was, smiling and laughing with Eric like nothing was wrong.He had to turn the monitor off totally, and rushed to get a chill glass of water from the water dispenser."Maybe I should respect her choices, she doesn't belong to me, why can
Beauty stared at the floor, her eyes welling up with tears she had tried so hard to hold back. She bit her lip nervously, trying to suppress her emotions.Unfortunately, her emotions are now like a tangled mess, and she felt like she was about to break."Talk to me," Jessie said, her tone softer now. "What's going on? What did I do?"Beauty took a shaky breath, and finally, unable to contain it any longer, the dam broke. "I... I am sorry Jessie, it's just ... . I am shamelessly jealous of you. That he liked you back, I am sorry. I shouldn't feel that way. He is never mine...not like it could ever be possible. You are beautiful and all that, and I am not a competition" she confessed, her voice barely above a whisper.Jessie was speechless, her expression softened instantly. She had been expecting drama, of course but didn't expect her to be this hurt.Beauty wiped her eyes, sniffling as she continued. "When you called last night and excitedly told me that Bruno called you and you guy
Beauty let out a long breath, feeling like a heavy weight was lifted off her shoulders in playful anger. "You're such a brat, Jessie! I was going crazy thinking I lost my chance!".Jessie grinned sheepishly. "I know, I know. I didn't mean to push you that far. Forgive me?"Beauty laughed, wiping her face again. "I'll think about it," she teased, though her smile showed that all was forgiven."Good because I'd hate for us to fight over some guy,you know. Not like we are certain about his sexuality. I have a lot of trust issues these days" Jessie said, putting her arm around Beauty's shoulders."He is not gay...stop it, Jessie".Beauty frowned. "Alright, alright. I hope so, too. If he is into women, it's obvious Bruno's more into you. I mean, come on, girl, have you seen the way he looks at you? He interacts with you more. He saved you the other day from getting bullied," Jessie pointed out.Beauty sighed. "You think? It maybe a pity attraction, nothing else".Jessie rolled her eye
Just then, a knock sounded on thedoor."Mmmm...Bruno... someone's knocking..Beauty moaned.Bruno responded by mumbling something inaudible while feasting on her breasts."Bruno... Bruno!" Beauty called, louder this time.Bruno's eyes snapped open, his breathing still heavy, his hands clutching the pillow as if it were her.He was lying on the bed, fully dressed, he looked over the beds; he was alone.He was lying on his bed, fully dressed.Turning towards the door, he saw Beauty and her friend talking, then both paused and gazed at him.Beauty looked like she had a lot of questions; she was also dressed in pajamas."Was it a dream?" he wondered, closing his eyes slowly as he realized and cursed."Yeah... I took my bath before her last night. I should've known...Damn... I almost lost my virginity to Beauty in the dream."He cursed.Suddenly he felt a tightness in his groin and rushed to the bathroom."What's with him?" Jessie askedBeauty, surprised at Bruno's actions.Beauty glanc
Trying to keep up, he over-swung a tad, and his right foot slipped on the sudsy shower floor, slamming his knee into the tile wall.He let out a pained hiss.Beauty gagged loudly as his entire twelve inches pressed deeper into her throat.She backed off for a moment, and Bruno saw his cock reemerge from her mouth.Beauty coughed to clear her throat and wrapped her lips around him again.She took half of it in, filling her mouth, and put a hand on each of his buttocks, squeezing as hard as she could."She's very experienced," Bruno thought.He had a flashback of the video with Stephen, his brows arching as he tried to wave it away from his mind.Then she sucked him with a force like she was trying to siphon gasoline from a gas tank three blocks away.Bruno almost fell over again, but within three or four hearty jolts, he felt his release nearing."I can't... I can't hold it anymore," he groaned loudly, moving faster.Beauty held onto him as tightly as possible, enduring until he finish
Beauty stood outside the bathroom door, drying with a towel tied around her bosom, her body still wet. Bruno had persisted in taking a shower.An idea came to her as revenge.She bit her lower lip and tiptoed slowly to the bathroom.There was mist in the air and a loud pounding of the shower.Fortunately, it was a large shower stall, and Bruno was facing sideways with his head directly under the showerhead.Beauty opened the smoked glass door and stepped into the shower."What the fu--," Bruno exclaimed as he turned to face her, startled, clearly not expecting her to come inside the bathroom.Not after she was embarrassed by him seeing her naked a few minutes ago.Was she just playing with him?"Need any help?" Beauty asked, grinning.Then she lost the towel around her bosom. It dropped down, and so did Bruno's eyes and jaw.Beauty smiled softly at him.She grabbed a bar of soap off the ledge and began lathering up her palms."Need some help?" she repeated.Bruno face flushed and he r
After the meal, Beauty didn't return to her room like the others; she stayed outside until night fell.Jessie joined her, and they chatted about everything that had happened. They talked, laughed, and vented, though only for a short time before Jessie finally retired to bed, leaving Beauty alone with her thoughts.Beauty checked the time on her phone. By now, Bruno must be fast asleep, she thought, a grin sneaking across her face as she walked quietly down the hallway.Slowly, she opened the door of the room, tiptoed inside, and closed the door quietly behind her.She found Bruno sleeping on the bed. Then she felt very uncomfortable in her skin, so she knew she had to take a bath as fast as possible.She wanted to take her clothes off, then paused and stole a glance back at Bruno on the bed. Her cheeks flushed hotly.He has seen her naked many times, right? He accepted her; what is she afraid of?On second thought, Beauty waved the motivation away."He must have noticed I'm in the roo
Kathy's gaze narrowed as she watched Beauty and Bruno's interaction across the table. She had been watching and enduring their interaction, but not anymore.She decided to do something to grab everyone's attention. With a smirk, she leaned forward."Wow, Beauty... slow down with the eating... it's embarrassing... you are a lady," she whispered just loud enough to grab everyone's attention.Every head turned towards her.Beauty's fork hung in the air as she chewed slowly."Excuse me?" Beauty replied with a frown."Oh, I didn't mean anything by it, it's just a joke," Kathy replied and smiled at her."Well, thank goodness she has an appetite," Bruno cut in. "Maybe you should eat more, Ms. Jones, add some weight so you won't have to come to my office crying about getting beaten up by your fellow lady."Bruno shrugged.The rest of them looked at him as if he'd just learned how to speak. He was never this blunt; he was usually soft-spoken and gentle.Jessie made sure her laughter was loud.
As Beauty sat, still lost in thought after her call with Nia, she heard a sudden burst of voices and laughter approaching the living room.Lola Cruz walked into the room with her team, their arms laden with platters of Puerto Rican delicacies that filled the air with mouth-watering aromas."Alright, everyone! Come on, gather up! We've got a feast waiting for you!" she called out.Her energy was infectious.Ferdinand and his assistant, May, stood beside her."Can you help, May?" Ferdinand said.Although a bit hesitant, May gave him a nod and walked toward the rooms' passageway, knocking on each door.As soon as they opened, she forced the words out."Ms. Cruz has invited everyone for dinner in the banquet hall. She's waiting in the main room; please head down promptly.""Finally, food," Jessie stretched and walked back into the room.Kathy was brushing her hair, getting ready for the meal and trying not to appear less attractive. She followed the hairbrush with blush, lip gloss, and ma
"Finally, I get to hear your voice. How have you been?" Nia asked softly over the phone."Hey, Nia! I am great, and you?" Beauty answered with a smile."Oh, I am good. I'm happy to hear you're doing great. And Jessie?""She's fine.""Great... mind if I ask, how are you coping... you know... the reunion... Beyoncé and...?"Beauty sighed deeply."It's... well... It's ...it's a bit complicated," Beauty admitted, glancing towards their room, her mind swirling with memories of their earlier interaction."Complicated? You mean because of him? Don't tell me you're thinking about ignoring the fact that he disrespected you and was sleeping with that bitch...""He was innocent, Nia."Nia was quiet for a minute, as if she misheard those words, and had to ask."Innocent?"Beauty sighed, rubbing her temples as if trying to erase the memory of how she messed everything up."Bruno was blackmailed by Beyoncé, Nia. He had to give in to save me from traumatizing shame.""What shame... how... what black
Beauty coughed and cleared her throat."Can you just... stay over there, on your side of the room? And put on a shirt, please..."She paused abruptly, noticing his clothes scattered across the floor. She picked them up before continuing."And look, I don't want all this mess here. We both have to share this room for the next few days on this tour, so don't..."She turned, and her gaze landed at his chest level, so you couldn't blame her for spacing out for a moment, staring at him."You were saying?"His voice brought her back.Beauty looked up, blinking."Please put on a shirt, for crying out loud!" she snapped, starting to gather up his things from the floor.What is this mess for?Is he a toddler?Bruno lifted a thick brow in a questioning arch."Why should I put on a shirt?" he replied dryly.She rolled her eyes."It's called decency, Mister Sir. You wouldn't like it if I walked around butt naked."At this point, she had no idea what she was saying.Her speech was translated to he
Beauty stood there, frozen in the hallway, feeling a mix of nerves and frustration as she watched Jessi-her supposed "best friend"-smirk, wink, and slip into her room, leaving her stranded in front of the door to the room she'd be sharing with Bruno.Jessie is going to pay for this!Beauty yelled inside. Then she glanced nervously at the door, taking a deep breath to prepare herself for the unknown."Okay, Beauty. You got this. Just... pretend he's not there. Self-respect, dignity. No stupid decisions; remember, show him you are not that Beauty anymore... it won't be easy, but good luck," she whispered to herself.After one more deep breath, she opened the door and walked in.The room was much bigger than she feared it would be, with two king-sized beds and wardrobes on each side.Thankfully, it was a relief for her.Maybe this would be easier than she thought."Please, please let there be separate bathrooms," she muttered, her eyes scanning the room.Only one bathroom in sight.Does
