BEAUTY IN DISGUISE - CHAPTER 77&78
★★★★★
May adjusted her fur coat Immediately her leg went back down.
Everyone with a phone are busy recording with O shaped mouths.
Hanna kept lying on the ground, wiping her bloody nose.
“How dare you!’ she barked and Maybelline smirked before bending in front of her.
“Want the map of England on your face?” She said.
Hanna shifted back in fear.
” You always like to behave like a smartass but turns out you’re not smart, that only makes you an @zz” Maybelline said, still stepping closer while Hanna kept shifting back.
“The fact that I left for a while doesn’t mean a piece of junk like you will get to do what you want, ok?” Maybelline said sternly
Hanna only stared defiantly at her.
” Ok!” May shouted and Hanna flinched.
“May” Max said, just coming out of the elevator.
He rushed to the scene and looks shocked to see Hanna’s bloody nose and lips.
“Max” Hanna said, standing up to stay beside him.
“You didn’t tell me you’d be coming” he said.
“Surprises are always accompanied with shock” May winked.
Max grabbed May’s arm and started going in with her.
” Max!” Hanna shouted.
May looked back and secretly gave her the middle finger.
Hanna stumped her foot on the ground before storming out.
Max took May to his office and she took her hand from him immediately.
“When am I resuming work as the chairwoman?” She said seriously
“May you have to exercise patient please… Hanna is…
“And how dare you make Hanna the chairwoman of our company after I left how dare you Maxwell!” She yelled, hitting her palms on his desk.
“May I….
“I was a no nonsense woman even before we got married, I’m a bit crazy” she said.
” I’m aware” he replied.
” But because of love, I cooled down after I got married to you, and that’s why you were able to beat me without getting a retaliation from me back then, you almost made me terminate my twins back then Max, all because of the rag called Hanna, you even had the nerves to impregnate her and she birthed a dumbass like herself, Reece is younger than my twins right?, He’s nineteen and my twins are twenty, but I heard about how that fool treated my Genny like trash during my absence, and now I’m back to take over my rights and you mentioned Hanna?, Are you crazy? ” She said.
Max went on his knees immediately and she giggled.
” I’m sorry, I know no amount of sorry can make up for it but…
“I’m resuming tommorow and you better put a leash on your dog cos if she tries crap, I’ll toss her into where she belongs,…..the trashcan” May interrupted before carrying her bag.
She left the office and Max stood slowly.
“I’m in trouble” he muttered.

MAYBELLINE COLLEGE**
Quincy missed the second class.
She has left Maybelline’s office since an hour ago cos she didn’t meet her in.
She’s currently walking back to class, hoping no one will be in class when she gets there.
She checked the time
12pm, she still has one class left by 12:30.
She sighed and thought about last night again.
She has been thinking of it since she ran away, she has been avoiding him too, she has no idea of how to start explaining.
“What if he gets mad at me for not trusting him?, What it he breaks up?”
She suddenly sighted Genny and her eyes widened.
She quickly hid in a corner and held her chest.
She closed her eyes.
“That was close” she breathed, opening her eyes.
She started tiptoeing out of the corner and Immediately she came out, she came face to face with him.
Her eyes widened again.
“Gen…ny” she stuttered.
He grabbed her hand and pulled her to the rooftop.
“Why are you avoiding me?” He asked, facing her.
She swallowed hard and started looking at the ground.
“Quin” he called.
“Huh?” She replied without looking at him.
She touched her ear, rubbing it as if it’s Aladdin’s lamp which she’s trying to rub out ideas from.
“Why did you run away last night?, Did I go beyond my boundaries?, Talk to me please” he said and she shifted on her spot.
He went closer and held up her face.
She was forced to look him in the eye and she blinked.
“What’s wrong?”
“I….. I’m sorry” she said slowly.
“Why?”
“I ran away because….. because I….I thought I gave my body to the others too but they all ended up leaving me, I’m scared of that” she replied.
Genny sighed and let go of her face.
“Let’s break up” he said and she felt her heart falling into a hot pan of oil.
” Genny….
” I mean it…let’s break..
“No…no I don’t want to….I don’t want to break up with you I’m so sorry if you’re mad cos of last night, I don’t want to break up I love you so much Genny please….
Genny started leaving .
” Genny!!!” She cried, rushing after him.
She blocked him and hugged him tightly.
“I’ll come spend the night at your place tonight, I’ll give you my body if that’s what you want, I don’t want to break up, don’t leave me, ….I love you insanely Genny I can’t live without you anymore don’t do it, don’t talk about breaking up…you promised not to break my heart …. Stick with me please I love you Genova, I love you” she said, her eyes filled with tears already.
She’s crying so much, still hugging him tightly.
“I’ll just ki|| myself if you leave me, don’t leave me Genny please I can’t survive it” she cried again.
” I told you when I’ll play my prank, you’ll know I’m the king of pranksters, now look…you’re in tears and I’m cursing myself inwardly” Genny said and she raised her head from his chest to look at him.
He smiled and started wiping her tears with his fingers.
“f_ck my life” he muttered as he wiped
“Genny” she whispered.
“That was my payback for your prank, I’m sorry it made you cry” he said.
“I’m sorry for leaving you hanging last night, we can just start from where we stopped tonight and…
“No, I didn’t date you cos of your body, you don’t have to give me your body to satisfy me, I understand it’s hard for you to trust and…
“I trust you I swear it, I’m just scared and…
” Shhhh…. I understand, it’s hard not to get scared after all what you’ve been through, I’ll wait till whenever you’re ready for me, I’m not impatient, you’re always mine anyways” he said and smiled after he has finished wiping her tears.
“Genny I love you” she said, holding his face
“I love you pink, like f_cking crazy” he smiled and kissed her forehead.
“You won’t break up with me forever, promise me” she said.
” I promise, with my life” he replied and she hugged him again.
” I love you ” she whispered, sniffing his scent.
“Never get away from my sight anymore, don’t avoid me ever again, tell me everything Immediately they happen, don’t ignore my calls” he said.
” I promise, I promise you all of that Genny” she replied.
He smiled and started stroking her hair.
“Hold me tighter” she whispered.
He wrapped his arms around her more tightly and kissed her hair.
*******
7PM, RED’S MANSION**
Not only students of Maybelline college but also students from other schools came for the sleepover.
The mansion is bedecked with students already, mingling and chatting amidst the loud electronic music.
ITXY Loco is currently booming in the speakers.
“Whooooo!!” Gennie shouted, stepping in with Craig, he has a yellow beret on .
He jumped in and girls started gathering around him as usual.
? Gennie dance with me!
? Can I get a kiss?
? I wanna warm your bed tonight.
? I love you Gennie!
? Ion mind f_cking!
Gennie kept flashing smiles around as he walked through the crowd of students.
There are definitely over eighty students in the gigantic mansion.
“Where’s Genny?” Craig asked.
“He’ll definitely be with his pink, ion know where they’ll be” Gennie replied.
” Guys!” Red appeared, rocking all red.
“Your parents weren’t wrong to name you Red, you love red” Gennie said.
“Welcome, have fun” Red smiled.
“Do you have a girlfriend?” Gennie asked.
“Oh Gennie” Craig sighed.
“No, but I think I’m getting one tonight” Red replied and patted Gennie before leaving.
“He’s the real vibe see?, He’s flat and straight, no zigzag” Gennie bit his lip slightly.
” Wh@??ver, let’s look for the girls, I need to talk to Bae” Craig replied.
” I miss Stonia” Gennie winked.
” You’re sick” Craig giggled as they continue touring the place till they came across Genny and Quincy.
Genny is sitting on a big couch while Quincy sat on his laps, resting on him, her arms are around him.
“What name befits them?, loverats” Gennie said.
“It’s called lovebirds, I said it, your head is in need of a brain” Craig rolled eyes.
” Stonia!” Gennie sighted the girls and rushed to them.
” Here he is again” Polly said, dropping her cup of martini.
” Hey” Craig waved at Bae.
” Hi” she waved back.
” Where’s Izzy?” Gennie asked.
“She’s serving pizza and drinks with Trinidad, they both work part-time at Subway so they helped their boss to sell here” Bae explained.
” Oh, then I’ll keep you company” Gennie said to Polly.
” Come with me” Craig said, pulling Bae away.
She followed willingly.
“You look more pretty tonight” Gennie said and Polly rolled eyes.
” Do you have a boyfriend?” He asked.
“Why do you wanna know?”
“I just want to, most boyfriends don’t want besties for their girlfriends, I have to know if your boyfriend is that kind of guy before I start befriending you” he replied.
” Who told you I’ll befriend you when I have four girlfriends” Polly retorted, drinking from her cup.
She was about to drop the cup when Gennie took it from her.
He drank the remaining drink and Polly stood.
He pulled her back to her seat by holding her arm and Immediately the contact happened again, she froze and gulped emptiness.
“Let’s just sit and chat, nothing more, no strings attached, I have a girlfriend” he said simply.
” Let go of my hand” she replied gently and he quickly did that.
She sat and took her cup to drink from but it’s empty.
“I’ll get you another drink, martini again or another thing?” He asked but she’s already lost, staring at him
” Hey” he waved in front of her .
“What?” She asked, coming back to her senses.
” Martini again or..
” Champagne” she interrupted and he smiled before leaving to get the drink.
Polly looked at the hand he held and sighed.
“He’s a jerk, he has a girlfriend, don’t get too attached” she reminded herself and gasped when she saw someone.
The guy she punched at the station the other day.
Twinkle!
“What’s he doing here!”
Before she could hide, he came over.
“Hey Miss Heavy Punch” he smiled.
******”
” Here” Craig said, handing Bae’s necklace to her.
She tendered her palm and he placed it right there.
“gomawo” she smiled.
“It’s nothing” he replied and she started trying to put it on but it’s difficult.
He kept looking at her as she struggled.
“Wait” he said and she looked at him.
He took it from her and went behind her.
He took her hair away from her back and dropped it on her shoulder before fixing it.
His fingers made slight contacts with her neck as he fixed the necklace.
Her body quivered and she had to fold her fist for control.
It’s like it’s taking forever to fix the necklace cos he’s not concentrating.
He’s busy staring at the star tattoo at the back of her neck, it’s beautiful.
He finally finished fixing just when Bae lost her self control.
He came back to her front.
“Done” he said.
“Not yet” she whispered and her heels stepped closer to him.
He stepped back till he’s backing the wall.
She started leaning in slowly, coming for his lips
Steadily… slowly. And….
*******
“What are you doing here?” Polly asked Twinkle.
He replied with an handsome smile.
“I didn’t ask you your toothpaste brand” she scowled and he stopped smiling.
” You’re not kind with words too” he said.
“Wh@??ver” she replied.
“But I find you interesting” he said.
” Oh, really?, I’m blushing!” Polly smiled but the smile vanished almost immediately.
“Were you expecting me to say that?, Not everyone is fangirling over your handsome face” she replied
” So now you admit I’m handsome” he replied
Polly was about to reply when Gennie came back with the drinks.
“Get up, I was sitting beside her” he said to Twinkle, dropping the bottle of champagne on the table.
” Who the hell is he?” Twinkle asked Polly.
” Hell?” Gennie smirked.
The stage lights suddenly became brighter and shone on Red.
Everyone screamed and he smiled, taking the microphone.
“I welcome everyone once again to my sleepover party, it’s been long since anyone hosted it in Maybelline and that’s why I decided to do it…. and also….i hosted this cos of someone really special” he said.
? Aww…
? Who could that be.
Red left the stage and walked to the server’s table.
He grabbed Trinidad’s hand.
“I already told you it’s my job, I can’t leave only Izzy to serve just because it’s your party” she said.
Red smiled and started pulling her to the stage.
“Red…Red what are you doing” she said, following him in confusion.
They got to the spotlight and stopped there.
Craig and Bae came out of where they are.
Bae whispered into his ears before leaving him.
Craig smiled.
“I know we haven’t been friends for long but, I must say the little time I spent with you means a lot, they’re the best moments I’ve saved in my memory, never to be forgotten, it might come as a shock but Trinidad you….you make my heart flutter and isn’t it insane that everytime I catch a glimpse of you I lose my breath?” Red said
Trinidad’s cheek’s reddened and her eyes kept getting wider and wider.
? Aww ..
? Gosh!, Trinidad let’s switch positions.
? Red you’re the real deal!
“Trinidad please don’t say no, let’s become an item, please date me” Red continued.
” Go for it Trini!” Polly shouted.
” I said it!, Trinidad talk!” Bae shouted.
” Babe say something!” Izzy shouted.
” Red just kiss her!” Quincy said from Genny’s laps.
Trinidad kept smiling at him and even if she didn’t say anything, the smile means a lot.
“I love you” Red said.
“Fool say your mind!” Polly shouted.
“I…. love you…Red” she replied.
Red held her shoulders and drew her closer that way.
He bent to her level and when their lips felt the warmness of each other, their hearts melted and a loud scream filled up the whole house.
“I knew it” Bae said.
“Trinidad hooks Red!” Polly said.
“What next?, Good f_ck” Gennie said and Polly smirked at him.
Quincy returned her face to Genny’s chest and he returned his hand to her hair.
“You didn’t tell me we’re coming to this party to cuddle” he said.
” I just don’t want to leave you for once, don’t try to leave” she whispered, unbuttoning one of his buttons.
She kissed his bare chest.
” I got the necklace already, I’ll give you tommorow” she said.
“Alright” he smiled, hugging her tighter.
*****
“Who’s he?” Twinkle asked again.
“My…. departmental mate” Polly said
“Satisfied now?” Gennie said.
” Wh@??ver, I’m not standing” Twinkle replied.
“You can as well swallow the chair” Gennie said and tried to leave but Polly held him.
” You said you wanted to be my friend” she said.
” He’s better” he replied, gesturing at Twinkle.
” Why are you behaving like a ?ï?k” Twinkle said.
Gennie smiled shortly.
” I’m tryna keep my f_cking cool but you kept proving that you’re the reason God created middle finger” Gennie said.
” Don’t try to keep your cool” Twinkle said with an annoying smile.
“Twinkle” Polly cautioned.
“He started it by telling me to stand when it’s not even his house” Twinkle said.
Gennie started leaving.
” I just don’t like motherf_ckers like him” he heard Twinkle saying and stopped.
” Jesus have mercy, I’m about to send you a candidate” he said and turned back.
He rushed to Twinkle and dragged him up from the seat …
“No Gennie” Polly said.
Gennie punched Twinkle on the nose but Twinkle returned it immediately.
Everyone gasped, Polly covered her mouth with her palms.
“Gennie” Genny said, standing up.
Gennie wiped the blood on his lips and faced Twinkle with a dangerous smile.
“f_ck you!” He spat and grabbed the bottle of champagne.
“Gennie!” Genny shouted.
