HIS TRUE BEAUTY

She must be disappointed to thinking this message was delivered to her friend.

If the friend got the message, I am sure she would have done the same as I am doing now.

He picked up his car keys and sent off for the garage.

Settling in his he drew a deep breath, any heath care opened near me, he searched on his phone.

He got lucky and found one.

In a flash he drove out of the compound, as fast as he can.

Beauty was lying in the same position, suddenly her phone started ringing.

It was Bruno calling.

She forced her head up and glanced at the door which leads to her room, it looked like many miles away.

“Jessi..?”

She mumbled, too weak to say another word.

Bruno sighed.

He had called fir about 20 times, it made him owrried if everything was okay.

He pressed the door bell.

That sound was like a motivation to Beauty.

She is here!

She thought out loud.

“Open it’s unlocked”.

Beauty murmured inaudibly.

Bruno pressed the doorbell many times and finally trued a push. The door opened on its own accord.

“It was unlocked?”

He asked himself in surprise then entered inside the house.

“Beauty!”

He locked the door after

There was no sound coming from the room, he walked into the entire rooms calling her name.

Finally he got to her bedroom and saw the duvet on the floor.. leading to the kitchen direction. He galnced twords the open door and found Beauty sleeping on the kitchen floor.

“Beauty!”

He dropped all that he ad in his hand and ran to her.

The heat on her was so much that he felt it.

“What a fever”.

He carried her to the bedroom.

**BEAUTY’S POV**

The next morning, I opened my eyes, first time I noticed was that my headache’s was gone. I tried to sit up, I felt a sharp throbbing on my head.

I guess it’s not all gone but I felt alot better.

I also noticed I had my clothes changed.

“Jessi?”

There was a noise coming from the kitchen, also an aroma.

I was so down last night I didn’t know when she came in and attended to me.

God bless you Jessi.

I smiled and pulled the duvet off me slowly.

I groaned and stood up, started heading to the kitchen, a little bit stronger tagn last night, I walked slowly to the kitchen and opened the door.

“Jessi you made it, when did you..”

I paused as I saw a tall shirtless man, cooking with the fly pan.

“Who are you?”

My heart stopped, scared to death.

He turned to me, and it’s Bruno!

“You are awake”.

He said softly.

“Bruno?”

I gadoed then helf my head with my right hand.

I felt a bit dizzy, I almost fall down due to the face reveal.

“Am I hallucinating?”

I mumbled to myself.

“You need to eat before taking your drugs so I decided to make you something before you wake up, will be done in a few minutes”.

He smiled.

He smiled!

Who is this man!

This is not Bruno!

“You…how.. I…am confused”.

“You texted me instead of Jessi”.

He replied.

I looked at him in shock.

“I ….. I…am sure it was Jessi that I…”

I paused and remembered the name before Jessi was Bruno. I might have clicked on it instead die to my blurry vision.

“I am so sorry.. I didn’t intent…”

“It’s fine…I.. am glad to help”.

He smiled again.

“You changed my clothes?”

I flushed and looked down.

“I…apologize for that, I had to pull off the clothes due to your temperature, I didn’t mean any harm”.

I nodded.

He is gay afterall, I turned to lewv etge kitchen but hit my leg aganist the door.

He rushed to me.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah.. its just…”

Before I could say a word, he carried me in his arms. My breath ceased that instant, I feel so tiny in his arms, as big as I am.

He lay me down on the bed.

“You need to reserve the energy”.

I nodded.

He walked back to the kitchen my eyes followed him. Just then my phone rang it was Jessi.

“What if she comes and sees him here”.

I took my phone and texted her that I won’t be able to make it to work, but I will visit her tonight.

She replied “okay, take care”.

I sighed and put the phone down beside me.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Bruno got back few minutes later and gave me the pancakes he made, and the cup of tea.

“Sorry I am not very good at cooking”.

He said rubbing his hands together.

Is he nervous?

Why on earth would a person like this acre about what I think?

I heisted then took them, I took a bite into the pancake.

He did awful probably first time cooking.

I forced myself to take them regardless of it’s taste, he worked hard to do this.

I couldn’t even look up, I was too shy to so that, I can’t help but argue within me why I am favoured by him to care so much about me.

I was done with the food.

“Thanks I enjoyed…”

I raise my face to look at him and found him dozing off, he was sitting on the floor beside my bed, resting his back on the wall.

“He must be stressed out, I better let him be”.

I put out the dishes to the kitchen and surprisely the kitchen was sparkling clean I expected a mess up sight.

I came back and found him sleeping on the floor.

“I had to wake him up”.

I walked to him and tapped his shoulder gently.

“Mr Bruno”.

He opened his red eyes and stood up.

“Are you done eating?”

“Yes.. thanks, it was amazing”.

I replied, my face flushed.

“I am sure it’s awful, but I appreciate, now you have to take your medicine”.

He said imma and went to get a bag from the table.

“Emmm… Bruno, I can take care of myself now, you need to rest”.

He played deaf to my words bad got a glass.

“Here take these pills”.

“I will …not now”.

I replied, he was quick to figure it out.

“You don’t like pills”.

“No.. ofcourse i am not a child”.

“Then take it right now, in front of me”.

He gave them to me and hand over the glass of water.

I frowned and forced them into my mouth, I quickly drank the water but was slow to swallow, the drugs melted in my mouth. I felt like throwing up.

Instantly he pinched my nose, I forced them down my throat and gasped for air.
