BEAUTY IN DISGUISE - CHAPTER 36&37
★★★★★
Quincy quickly got up and her eyes widened even more.
Polly stood too, her breathing is still unbalanced.
“You…you saved me” Quincy said.
Polly rolled eyes. ” Don’t take it to heart, I did it cos I was out of my senses” she replied and Quincy hugged her.
” Thanks for saving my life, I could have cracked my head open and died” Quincy cried.
Polly pushed her from herself and glared .
“Who said you could hug me?, And are you that daft to think Molly is nice?, Oh I forgot, you won’t detect since she’s always acting like miss goody shoes” Polly scoffed, adjusting her jacket.
” She called me and told me to come meet her here, she was crying so much so I thought she really needed me and…
“Even actors and actresses shed fake tears in movies and Molly is a born actor, she’ll be the best if only she could go into acting” Polly said.
” But I got here and someone suddenly pushed me off the rails, I don’t even know who” Quincy said and Polly grabbed her.
She slammed her back on the rails hard and glared at her
“How come you’re brilliant in class when you’re as slow-witted as this, by now you don’t get who the culprit is?, Should I just throw you down by myself and let you die since your brain died already?” She said.
” You don’t mean… Molly?” Quincy said.
Polly let her go and brought out her phone.
She played a video and showed her.
It’s a video of how Molly pushed Quincy from behind and ran off afterwards.
Quincy gasped and Polly smiled.
“Ion like you one bit, I h@?? you like f_ck but I h@?? when people die unjustly and that’s why I dropped my brain to save you” she said and left.
” Molly….why would you… why me” Quincy bent beside the rails
“It was all for show, how she went on her knees to beg, it was all fake” she sniffed and looked down the road again.
“My blood will probably be staining the road by now, that sounds scary” she said, fighting back her tears.
She’s still shaking as a result of the fear.
” Quincy!!” Kimberly’s voice came.
“Kim” she muttered.
“Quincy!” Kimberly shouted when she sighted her.
She rushed to her and inhaled.
“What are you doing here?, You left the house without telling me and you left me to worry, I’ve been searching everywhere till I saw your car down there” she said and Quincy looked at her.
Seeing her red face and how she’s shivering, she got the info that she’s not ok immediately.
She quickly bent down with her and held her face.
“What happened?, Why is your face like this and why are you shivering?” She asked worriedly, rubbing her cheeks.
” Kim…I….I almost died, I almost lost my life Kim” she replied with hiccups.
” Why?, What exactly happened?” Kimberly asked.
“I’d have been dead by now if not for her, it was so scary and I was so scared Kimberly!!” She finally cried.
Kimberly hugged her, patting her back.
“It’s ok, just calm down please” she petted.

THE KANG’S MANSION**
Molly got home and quickly changed her clothes, she started walking around her room restlessly.
“She should be dead by now, no one can survive falling off from that high overpass” she said to herself.
She sat in front of the mirror and brushed her hair with her fingers.
“I’m prettier than Polly, Riri is nothing compared to me when it comes to beauty and brains, if I can’t have Genny, no one will” she said to herself and smiled.
” When she dies, Genny will see me by then, I did the right thing” she smiled again.
She got her phone and clicked on gallery.
She edited many pictures of herself and Genova together, making them look like a couple.
“We’re cute together” she smiled and rubbed his face on the screen.
The rough opening of the door made her sprang up.
Polly barged in and came straight to her.
“What?, What are you doing here?” She questioned and Polly laughed loudly.
” You aren’t only capable of keeping a ki||er’s secret, you’re a ki||er yourself” she said
“What are you talking about” Molly asked.
Polly showed her the video of how she pushed Quincy and her eyes widened.
She tried to snatch the phone from her but Polly quickly took it away.
“How did you get this!” Molly said.
“I’ll always have means, I’m full of it” Polly smiled.
” Give me that!” Molly said, trying to snatch the phone from her again.
Polly pushed her and she fell on her butt.
Polly looked around her room and grimaced.
“Whoa, first time in your filthy room, it’s just like I’ve Imagined, unattractive” she said and squatted beside Molly.
” I did you a favor of showing it to Riri” she said.
” Riri?” Molly said shockingly and Polly smiled again.
” Oh I forgot to tell you, I brainlessly saved her” she said.
” What!” Molly gasped.
” I traced you out and I saw when you were making the call, shedding crocodile tears at the overpass, you only need a gun to become a serial ki||er right now” Polly said and stood.
” Should I just post this video on SNS?” She said.
Molly spranged up.
” No!, No don’t!” She said.
“Of course I won’t, you can’t go to jail right now, you have a greater sin to go to jail for and till I tell that greater sin to the world, you’ll get haunted by me like a ghost” Polly smirked and left the room, slamming the door behind.
Molly staggered as if she got pushed and backed the wall.
“No, this can’t be happening…no!!”
******
NEXT MORNING, QUINCY’S MANSION**
Kimberly entered Quincy’s room with her coffee and met her picking out a dress from her closet.
She did a lot before she could sleep last night, she shivered till she slept off and till now, she’s unaware of what exactly happened.
“Good morning Kim” she greeted cheerfully.
“Did you sleep well?” Kimberly asked.
“Of course” she replied, taking the coffee.
“It’s hot!” She said after taking a sip.
“It’s the best for you, and now are you ready to tell me what happened?” Kimberly asked.
Kimberly gasped after she explained.
” She tried to ki|| you?, You said she’s kind” Kimberly said.
“That wasn’t my best perception” Quincy said.
” We should get her arrested” Kimberly said.
” That won’t be fun, I’ll just do my thing on Monday” Quincy replied.
” It’s Saturday, are you going on a date with your fake boyfriend?” Kimberly asked.
” Reece?, He almost destroyed my phone with calls yesterday but not him, I’m going out with Polly, as Quincy” she smiled.
” Really?”
” Yeah, she loves me as Quincy but saved my life as Riri, I’m paying her back by granting one of her wishes, she said she wishes to go out with me someday” Quincy smiled.
” You got her number?”
” Sure, I texted her already and we’re meeting by 2″ she replied.
” Not bad, I’ll go mix your bath” Kimberly replied and entered the bathroom.
Quincy continued humming a tune till she successfully fished out a dress.
She took another sip from the coffee and her mind went to Genova again.
She thought of him countless times since she woke up already.
She picked her phone and made to try his number again but Reece’s call flashed on the screen.
“f_ck you!!!!” She screamed loudly.
She tried to calm down before picking.
” Hey sweetheart” she said with a smirk.
“Quincy why?, I smashed my phone cos you weren’t picking my calls and had to get another one but it was still same, I came to your house but Kimberly said you weren’t around i almost went deranged when I couldn’t see you nor hear your voice” he said and Quincy took the phone far from herself.
She covered her mouth and laughed.
“Hello?” Reece said.
She continued laughing silently.
” Please talk to me” he said again.
She stopped laughing and took a deep breath before bringing it back to her ears.
“I’m sorry but, you know I’m a model and I’m always busy with photo$h00ts and appointments, you should bear with me please, I love you a lot and it hurts that I have to see you seldomly too” she replied.
” You don’t have to say sorry I understand but, I just missed you like crazy, can I come see you today?” He asked.
An idea popped into Quincy’s head and she smiled
” I’ll come to your house instead” she said.
“Really?, You’re not joking are you?” He asked.
” Of course, I’ll be chanced to see my mother-in-law too” she replied.
“Gosh I can’t wait, when are you coming?” He asked
” I have an appointment by 2, I’ll be coming after I finish up by… maybe 4″ she replied.
” I’ll be expecting you” he said.
She could feel the excitement in his voice.
” Sure, see you by then” she said
“I love you” he replied.
“More from here” she said and hung up.
“Genny, don’t be surprised when you see me” she smiled.
*****
1:30pm**
Polly couldn’t be more overjoyed when she saw the mail from Quincy, telling her to join her for lunch at a private restaurant.
She could bet anything that this won’t be possible but here it is.
She dressed gorgeously as she left the house, she walked past her dad in the living room and didn’t bother to spare him a glance before leaving the house.
She met Molly by the door and bumped into her knowingly.
Molly almost fell as she went for her red car.
She got in and the driver zoomed out of the house.
She got to the chosen restaurant and came out proudly.
“Lab 24 restaurant, I should snap a picture in front of it” she said and brought out her phone.
She was about to snap when reporters swamped her, snapping pictures and throwing questions
? Miss Polly Kang, how do you feel about getting to have lunch with your role model?
? Are you two close?
? What should we be expecting after this lunch?
? Why did you choose her as your role?
She has no manager or guards, they’d have stopped the reporters.
A blue foreign car came to an halt in front of the restaurant and when Quincy came out of it, they shifted their attention to her.
More than hundred pictures of her were snapped within a minute as the camera lights kept shinning on her pretty face.
Kimberly rushed down and guards came out of another car, stopping the reporters from going near.
Polly stared with admiration
Even when she was still in Australia, she has always been the goddess of her heart
Everything about her fascinates her, the way she walks and talks, then her smile.
? Why did you arrange a lunch meeting with Polly Kang?
? Is this the beginning of a new friendship?
? Are you both $h00ting together soon?
The reporters threw questions as Quincy walked to Polly.
Polly smiled more widely and her nose inhaled much of her scent but…she smells like someone…
Her perfume brand is rare so why would she smell like someone?
*Maybe my nose is malfunctioning* she thought
Before she knew it, Quincy hugged her, making her heart skip beats.
The reporters snapped the hug quickly before she broke it.
“I’m glad to be here with her, she’s like my….sis” Quincy said to the reporters and Polly gasped
“gaja (let’s go) Quincy said and went in with her, leaving the reporters behind.
They settled down and Polly kept staring at her.
“You look too flustered, come on be free” Quincy said
Polly fanned herself with her hand
“I’m fine, just that, I’m still so nervous, you invited me for lunch and even hugged me, then you called me your sis, it’s like a dream” she smiled.
” More is still bound to happen so far you remain good” Quincy replied.
“I don’t understand” Polly replied.
“Rihanna Norbert, a student of your school, you saved her last night” she replied.
” How did you..
“Kimberly my manager is her guardian, she told me everything” Quincy replied.
” You’re a good person, just continue to be good and we’ll stay close” Quincy smiled.
“You’re older than me by a year” Polly said.
” You’re twenty?” Quincy asked.
” Yes, so can I call you big sis?” She asked.
“I won’t mind” Quincy replied.
” eonni ( big sis )” Polly said and she smiled.
The server came with their lunch and before a flick, the table is full.
“Eat well” Quincy said and Polly smiled before picking her fork.
They both started eating but Polly won’t stop stealing glances at her.
“Honestly I like you very much, you’re my phone lock screen and home screen wallpaper, your pictures flooded my gallery and…
“I’m thinking of doing my next photo$h00t with you, what do you think?” Quincy interrupted and Polly choked.
Her eyes almost dropped on the plate.
“boraguyo? (What did you say?)” She said shockingly.
*****
5pm**
Getting down from her car in front of the Alejandro’s mansion, Quincy smiled again.
The lunch with Polly was enjoyable and even after eating, that still chatted for more than an hour.
She saw her different side today and she’d swear anything that she’s sweet, lovely and lively.
Why she behaves bitter and h@??ful in school is what she doesn’t understand.
“You’re going in alone right?, I’ll wait in the car” Kimberly said.
” Why?”
” You’re going in there to stage the usual drama again and this time it’ll include the mother, the last time at the hospital I almost laughed in the ward, I can’t risk is again this time so you better go alone” Kimberly replied.
Quincy giggled and went to the door , she was about to ring the doorbell when Reece opened the door .
“Sweet…
She wasn’t chanced to say the heart when he hugged her tightly.
“Hey you’re suffocating me” she smiled, hugging him back
” I just missed you so much” he replied and remained like that till Hanna appeared.
“She’s here already?” She asked and Quincy broke the hug.
She hugged Hanna too.
“Welcome, I’m so glad to see you again, I’ve been preparing since Ree told me you’ll be coming” she said.
Reece hugged her again.
“Thankfully you’re here to tame your boyfriend” Hanna said.
” I know right?” Quincy replied.
” I’m sure this visit will be cursory, you’re a busy person” Hanna said.
” No, I’ll be here till 7″ she replied.
“Really?, Then tell the maids to start serving the meal” Reece said.
” No, I’ll specially serve her myself” Hanna replied.
” I’ll help you” Reece replied and pecked Quincy before following Hanna into the kitchen.
Quincy made sure they’re out of sight before slowly climbing the stairs.
She might just get lucky and run into Genny.
She opened the first door but no one is in, maybe Reece’s room.
She opened the second door and found no one too but the fact that there’s a lot of headphones on the dressing table made her wait.
Genny came out of the bathroom with a towel.
He just finished washing his hair and it’s still sticky and wet.
He looks too shocked to see her.
“Quincy?” He said shockingly.
She stared helplessly for a while before walking in, she closed the door.
“I used Reece as an excuse to come here, I actually came to see you” she said.
“Why?, You came to see me after slapping me?” He replied.
“I know you’re mad at me but I came to apologise” she replied.
” Please Genny, I’m at fault and that’s why I came, I shouldn’t have poured the blames on you and…
“It’s ok, you need to leave before your boyfriend comes here to rant” he replied, not looking at her.
” No you’re not smiling please…. just tell me you’ve forgiven me and I’ll leave” she said.
” Go back downstairs, it’s illegal to infringe” he replied bluntly.
” Hey don’t be like this Genny” she replied.
“Quincy please…” He replied.
“Genny please” she said and started tickling him
” Stop Quin…” He said, trying to hold her in place but she kept changing locations, tickling him till he started laughing loudly.
“Ok I laughed..stop now, stop” he said, still laughing.
She kept tickling, happy that he laughed.
He suddenly grabbed her hands and drew her to himself.
Their lips almost touched and she palpitated shortly.
His scent filled her nose and her eyes looked into his own.
The turning of the knob made Genova come back to his senses.
He quickly pulled them both to be bed and Quincy hugged his tummy before he covered them, hiding her.
Reece came in immediately.
He looked around the room.
“You lost something?” Genny asked.
Reece left without answering.
Genova inhaled softly.
“You can come out, he’s gone” he said.
Quincy raised the duvet from herself and peeped out.
“Game almost spoilt, how lucky” she smiled.
“Go back downstairs” Genova said.
“We’re still friends right?” She asked, looking at him.
” You won’t be on my bed if you’re my foe” he replied and she smiled widely.
” Promise me you’ll talk to me in school on Monday, let’s meet at the rooftop” she said
” Ok deal” he replied and she got up from the bed.
She started rushing out but suddenly looked back.
“Bye dummy” she winked and left.
Genova sat up and smiled widely.
“I missed talking to you, fool” he whispered to himself.
