"No, Beauty, it's fine," Bruno interrupted, regaining his composure.He sat up straighter, running a hand through his hair, still processing her invitation."I wasn't expecting the invitation, that's all. But I accept your offer.""Really?" Beauty's voice softened, relief washing over her as she glanced back at Jessie with a smile."Yeah," Bruno said, his voice more assured now. "I'd be happy to go with you."Jessie could barely contain her excitement, nudging Beauty as she mouthed, "I told you so!""Okay... okay...," Beauty said, her heart pounding. "Great!"She didn't know what else to say."Thanks, bye." She hung up, her heart leaping; she had to hold it like it would burst if she didn't."I can't believe he said yes," she whispered, sinking back into the couch.Jessie squealed in delight, throwing her arms around Beauty."I told you he would say yes! Who would say no to this pretty face!" Jessie teased her, squeezing her chubby cheeks."Stop!" Beauty snapped in embarrassment but c

Before Beauty could protest further, Jessie's expression shifted as she examined Beauty's appearance from head to toe.Her gaze settled on Beauty's hair, and her face twisted into a dramatic frown."Wait a second," Jessie said, narrowing her eyes."What's going on with your hair?"Bruno had to check out Beauty's hair like it was his hair being mentioned.Beauty blinked, instinctively raising a hand to her head. "What do you mean?" she asked, puzzled. "My hair's fine. It's always like this."Jessie stepped forward, running her fingers lightly through Beauty's hair before pulling back with a look of exaggerated disapproval."Fine? No, no, no. This won't do at all. You need a haircut. A slay one before the reunion, which is in two days, for crying out loud!"Beauty frowned, stepping back defensively. "What's wrong with my hair? My mom gave me a haircut before they left for vacation. It's perfectly fine."Jessie gasped dramatically, her hands flying to her hips. "Your mom cuts your hair?

Jessie glanced around the room, her gaze landing on something across the table. She walked over, picked up a well-worn sketchbook, and flipped through it, her lips curling into a smile."Here," she said, handing the sketchbook to Bruno. "Draw her something. An outfit for the reunion. Be her designer."Bruno frowned, confused."Her designer? Jessie, I'm not...""Just do it," she insisted, pushing the paper into his hand. "Give her a style you'd like to see her wear for the reunion. Trust me, it's going to be romantic."Bruno took the sketchbook reluctantly. He opened it, his eyes skimming over Beauty's sketches-impressive rough outlines of dresses, casual outfits, and even some abstract pieces. Her talent was genius-level. It made him admire her even more.Jessie tapped him on the shoulder, pulling him out of his thoughts."You stay here and get to work. I'll distract her and keep her busy upstairs."Without waiting for his reply, Jessie turned on her heel and made her way up the stair

Bruno, now alone in the living room, took some steps back in shock until he was leaning against the wall, his chest heaving as he tried to calm himself down. But his mind was betraying him, spinning a vivid and seductive scene that he wished could have happened minutes ago.He imagined Beauty walking slowly down the stairs, the towel still clinging to her damp skin, her steps were sexy. Water droplets from the shower tracing the slope of her collarbone, down the valley between her breasts, and further, with the towel only covering her nipples.Beauty will bite her lips sexily as approaches him, swaying her hips with a seductive glint in her eyes, like she knew the effect she had on him.Her damp hair cascades over her pale shoulders, sticking to her skin like silk, framing up her face in such a way that she looks like a goddess. She will then stop in front of him not too far and her eyes will lock with his, filled with the same hunger he felt. Her lips, slightly parted, would call

She applied a light touch of makeup-a hint of blush on her cheeks, a swipe of mascara that made her eyes pop, and a soft nude lip gloss."I hope this works. Please, God, please let this work." She closed her eyes and prayed, then slowly opened them.The scenes from her last date came back like a movie.She had given herself a makeover after many years and finally decided to give a blind date a chance, only to be treated like a clown."It's okay, Beauty. This is for Bruno. At least he never called you fat."A tear rolled down her cheek.She scoffed and carefully wiped it off, trying not to mess up her makeup, but unfortunately, she did. Seeing that made her break down, and she started crying. She angrily cleaned it all off, and after she felt like she had cried to her heart's content, she forced a smile and walked out of her room.As she stepped into the living room, she found Bruno standing with his back turned.Beauty smiled sadly.It's not the big reveal he must be expecting."You c
