HIS TRUE BEAUTY

He turned around and found her awake.

“Emmm Hello…you are awake”.

He said softly.

Beauty froze that instant, alot was going on in her mind but nothing made sense.

What am I doing in a hotel room with my Boss!

Beauty yelled inside.

Bruno looks like he is not talking but his words were completely muted by the questions flooding into her head.

“Are.. you listening?”

His voice cuts into her thoughts.

Beauty nodded still covering her face.

“You called me last night, you got into trouble with a restauranteur after a date, so I had to go pay the bill, don’t worry your clothes were removed by you, and I didn’t sleep on the same bed with you…also.. I…didn’t take advantage of you”.

Beauty sighed relieved and muttered.

“Yeah, I totally forgot he is gay”.

“What?”

He asked calmly.

Beauty, realizing she said it out loud, slapped her mouth in shock.

“No no, sorry. I mean I didn’t say anything”.

Bruno gave her a side eye, although he heard it loud and clear he decided to play it off.

“I see..”

He replied slowly.

He got his clothes to change, Beauty quickly buried herself in the duvet and closed her eyes.

Bruno looked at her after that reaction. He however went on changing into his new outfit.

“Here, you can go home after you freshen up, this is for your transport, you have no cash with you”.

Embarrassed Beauty pulled out the duvet from her face and saw the money he dropped on the table.

“Thanks”.

Bruno picked up his keys and walked towards the door.

“Sir Bruno!…”

He paused at the door and turned to her.

“I am so sorry! I hope I didn’t cause you any trouble last night? Please I am drunk .. I get drunk even at the smell of alcohol, I am not an addict …I.. just tasted it for the first time yesternight, so please don’t think of me as an alcoholic and if I did anything weird or bad , please forgive me”.

Beauty closed her eyes tightly and pleaded nervously.

He looked away and had flashbacks of her twerking in her underwear, drumming on his head with chopsticks as he tried to sleep.

Also , her throwing up on his body and then crying for hours calling out her ex’s and telling stories about how they left her, he barely slept last night even for 5 minutes and this morning he decided to take a shower.

“Not at all..”.

He replied quietly.

Beauty opened her eyes, surprised but relieved, yet thinking about it, she knew he was hiding some things, she must have done alot of silly stuff.

“Whosoever Tim, Steven , Nathan was, they are jerks, you deserve better”.

He said and left the room.

Beauty speechless, she froze for a few minutes shocked.

“No no no no! Don’t tell me I washed my dirt In Front of him!

My employer!

Why did I get myself drunk!

I can’t face him after this, he knows everything about me, oh Beauty you are such an idiot”.

She fell back on the bed and cursed.

“You stupid why did you call him, your boss has seen the ugly side of you, somehow I am grateful it’s not just any man who is attracted to women”.

She looked down at her naked body then searched around the room for her clothes.

She saw them hung up on the wardrobe, clean and neat.

She covered her face and cried inwardly.

“I am so dead!”
