HIS TRUE BEAUTY

“I was born on this day 25 years ago, but today I want to be reborn with you, will you please take this journey with me, and be my one and only till death? Please marry me Beauty, I don’t care if it’s too early when you are ready I am ready, for me I am very sure who I needed was you, it all depends on you..”

“Enough of the long speech dude, Beauty will you please marry my brother Bruno, just say Yes or no to the idiot, remember I am available”.

Abigail cuts in.

I frowned at her, then smiled back at Beauty still kneeling with the ring.

Beauty was sitting there, motionless.

“Its a yes Ofcourse, my dancing shoes are on”.

Grandma supported.

I looked at Beauty, still waiting.

**BEAUTY’S POV**

I can’t believe it!

Bruno proposed!

Why! How? Right here.

There are alot of things going on in my mind, what if the ring isn’t my size, Steven is watching, he looked desperate, desperate to see me get hurt or embarrassed.

What am I supposed to do, now

I closed my eyes and let my lips do their thing.

“Yes”I mumbled.

“She said yes!”

I heard Bruno scream, he hugged me tightly, so tight that I couldn’t even breathe.

His mom looked happy too but can’t tell about his father , his uncle and cousin sister, ofcourse and her husband Steven, but his other young cousins, sister and granny are the real shippers, they seem so happy about it.

Bruno went on his knees again, and wanted to put the ring on my finger.

“You don’t have to kneel again”.

I whispered, amused.

“I don’t know I am too excited!”

He laughed and went on.

I bit my lip nervously, I was panicking silently, quickly I closed my eyes, stretched my fingers out for him, but was so nervous my fingers were literally shaking.

Then he stopped my heart leaped, he didn’t put it in again, I slowly opened my eyes, my breathe fastene.

“What happened? Is it not her size?”

His sister voice asked curiously, others were looking at us with so much attention, that I felt really uncomfortable, I wonder his reasons.

Oh no please not again.

“Oh it’s nothing, it should be her size, it’s the average ring size, it’s just that I wanted to give her a choice to choose from”

Bruno replied, I was really confused.

He brought out a box from his pocket and opened it.

Inside the box was three different sizes of diamond rings and ofcourse I can tell my size.

“Pick anyone you love to be our engagement ring”He said to me and winked, way to go Bruno!

I choose the second to the biggest size , then he put it in , it was a perfect fit.

I hugged him in tears.

“Thank you”

I whispered, he really saved me the mockery of the ring size stuff.

“Thanks for accepting me”he replied.

Then we stare at each other nose touching eachother like they’re pushing us to kiss, I stared at his lips, as it lits up a soft smile, giving me a flash of his white teeth.

His young cousins started chatting

“Kiss kiss kiss”.

“Don’t do it”.

Grandma teased covering the eyes of his two underage cousins with her palms.

I was melting with shyness, I hope this is a dream I never get to wake up from!

Steven is witnessing this?

“Silent guys, don’t interrupt”.

Bruno said to his young cousins then pulled me in for a kiss, well I couldn’t resist.

Well we kissed and the champagnes were popped, I was so happy and excited my ears were red.

*******

Well wishers and our Co workers started pouring in, with their birthday gifts for Bruno, many looked quite surprised to see me there before now. They looked like they got lots of questions to ask me.

I told Bruno that I want to go home and come back for the night party, my mom must be worried about.

So glad he accepted without hesitation.

“Don’t stay long please”he said to me, I smiled back then I sighted Peaches chatting with a group of girls.

“As long as that girl, Peaches is here , I won’t”

I replied.

He shook his head, Peaches is one crazy fangirl of his, we kissed again and I left for my place, inside the cab, I quickly texted Jessie.

“He proposed and I said yes”.

Excitedly I took out my and sent a picture with the text. In the picture Bruno was kissing my finger holding the camera he used to take the shot.

She sent hundreds of voice notes, I am sure she is gone crazy, where should I start.

I laughed and ignored her.

She will go even crazier about it because I ignored her voice notes but it’s for the best, if I listened to one she will keep talking about it. I wanted us to talk in person so I will be expecting her visit.

I smiled and admired my ring.

Imagine up waking up everyday in his arms..

Then kids..?

Nah

I am throwing them off the end…just me and Bruno.

I smiled at my imaginations.

Getting home, I started screaming for mom to come, I noticed Dad was home too.

“What’s the problem?”

Mom asked curiously rushing out of the kitchen.

I was smiling with tears flowing down my cheeks.

“Mom… Bruno proposed to me”

I said trying not to break down.

She hugged me happily, I suddenly burst into tears.

“I love him so much , I am so happy he felt same way”.

“Oh Honey, I am happy for you, hey I told you the best is coming for you, didn’t I?”

My mom consoled.

“Come here, my beautiful princess”.

Daddy said and gestured at me , I went to my dad and sat on his laps.

I hugged him, with my hands crossed on his neck.

“You know, only a true man hold on to a real beauty when he sees one, I did not name you Beauty for just name sake, you are a rare beauty, her father’s daughter”.

I blushed uncontrollably.

“You see now taking your father’s body, isn’t bad, all you need to do is keep fit and shed a little bit of fat you are good to go , this is a motivation, not too much, you gotta keep that shape”he said, we laughed out.

“I will father, I will keep fit”.

I smiled and pecked him.

Just then, Jessie arrived beaming with smiles.

“Tell me you are pulling my legs bitch”.

She yelled breathing heavily as if she ran all the way from her place to our house.

I showed her the ring.

“Even from afar, this ring is shining so bright! I am so happy for you baby”

Jessie expected and took the ring off, I was left speechless with my hands opened expecting a hug.

“Emmm…are you forgetting something?”

I asked my hands still opened.

“This is an expensive bitch, she must worth a billion bucks!”she snapped.

I collected it back pouting.

“Hey I am not going to steal it “she giggled.

“You are paying attention to the ring more than me?”

I whined.

She laughed out.

“Oh that what it’s all about”.

She hugged me.

“I am so happy for you Bea”.

That made me smile.

“So let’s celebrate”

Mom announced.

“Actually.. guys, I am like Bruno’s birthday gift you know so I have to be with him tonight”

I said proudly.

“Hmm birthday gift, hopefully one day, I would be a gist to some guy..”Jessie teased.

“So you are not going to celebrate with us?”

Mother asked.

“No that’s not what I meant, we will celebrate later Mom just not tonight, he is waiting for me to return and join his party”.

I replied.

“I came with swimsuits, I really hope we going have a pool party, I also know he got some billionaire friends to flaunt this bikini body for”Jessi contributed.

“Jessie!”

I snapped loud trying to signal her about the look on my parents faces.

“So then, you are sleeping over?”

My mom asked with a suspicious look on her face.

I nodded innocently like a good girl.

“Don’t worry ma’am, I will make sure she sleep with me on the visitors room”.

I was scared since my dad never said anything yet.

He sighed.

“I want to see the boy Bruno, tell him I said so”.

“Thanks Dad”

I kissed his cheeks and did same to mom.

“You too Mom, I will go freshen up”.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I went inside my room and started searching for the perfect birthday party outfit.

Jessi entered my room.

“Get a good outfit girl, glam up, don’t embarrass a billionaire son, all eyes will be on…”

She paused and suddenly gasps.

“Oh my God is this your wardrobe or a nursing mother’s?!”

Jessie snapped, checking out my clothes.
