💋 Chapter Eight💋
Sally drove the car pretty fast. Beauty was gazing at her phone.
She saw something that caught her attention.
"Look, those ladies mocking me have been blacklisted from the modelling industry"
"What! What did that happen?" Sally asked concentrating on the road.
"Well, I don't know. I think it's Dylan" Beauty replied.
"Tch, what does a poor man like that has to do with this?" Sally rolled her eyes.
"Listen Sally, I think something is actually wrong somewhere. If he is poor, how did he get himself an assistant. If he is poor, how did he get a car. If he is poor, what was he doing in the head office?" Beauty suddenly asked.
Sally kept mute and stared at Beauty.
"I guess you are right. Why don't you ask him then? He seem interested in you"
Beauty blushed.
"Oh please Sally. No man can be interested in me except he is insane"
.
"What mom? Marry an insane man. I don't want to!!" Beauty yelled at her mom who brought a proposal her from a weird family.
"Beauty. But you have to get married. What can I do?" Mrs Jones asked slowly.
"I'll get married Mom. I just have to find someone who love me for who I am not what I have nor what I worth"
"Where are you going to find that when you are now ugly?!!" Mrs Jones yelled in reply.
Beauty closed her eyes and fell back on the couch.
She inhaled and exhaled deeply.
"I'll think about it"
"You'd better do" her mom said and left the house.
Sally walked into Beauty's room and sat close to her.
"Beauty, your mom is doing anything in her power to make you happy"
"I know Sally. I can't marry an insane man. What are my fans gonna say?"
"You said you wanted a secret marriage, what else?" Sally asked.
"Yes, I want a secret marriage. What of mom? She wants my marriage to be the talk of the town and... it's annoying as fuck!" Beauty yelled.
"Just forget about your fans. They are the same people who were mocking you that you've become ugly beauty"
Beauty lowered her gaze.
"Make me something to eat. I'm hungry"
Sally stood up and went to make something for her to eat.
.
Beauty swiftly ran down the stairs the next morning.
She was almost late to go to Granny's house.
Sally quickly followed behind.
"Beauty, do you have to go there again?"
"Yes Sally. I just have to keep doing everything she wants so that I can get my beauty back. Besides, I can't stay in this boring house" Beauty replied and ran out of the house.
Sally rolled her eyes and followed her out.
They entered the car and drove off.
Beauty went there and washed granny's clothes.
Something Beauty has never done in her whole life. The granny instructed her and told her how to do it.
Beauty tried her best to make it clean.
She squeezed it a little bit after rinsing it and dried them under the hot sun.
She stared at the time and sighed deeply.
"Jeez, I'm been washing all morning!"
She slowly walked back into the house through the back door and came to the parlour.
"I'm done granny" she said panting.
"Good. I know you are hungry. Go and prepare something to eat, Dylan will help you"
"No he don't have to hel.."
"Dylan!!!" Granny interrupted her and screamed Dylan's name.
He didn't respond, he was probably in his room.
"I think he is on his earphones again. Go and call him out Beauty"
She frowned and walked towards his door.
She knocked but still didn't get any response.
She opened the door and swiftly entered into the room.
Dylan saw her but acted as if he didn't.
"What are you doing here?"
"Um, granny said you should come out and.. help me in the kitchen" she stammered.
"I'll be out in a sec" he replied still nodding his head to the music.
Beauty left the room and went to the kitchen to prepare something.
Dylan came out of the room and glared at granny.
She nodded her head towards the kitchen.
He sighed and went in. He saw Beauty looking for something in the cupboard.
"What are you looking for?"
As Beauty heard his voice, she hit her head hard on the edge of the cupboard while coming out.
"Ouch!!"
Dylan closed his mouth as he heard the sound.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to" he said and helped her up.
"It's okay. I'm fine" she squeezed her face and touched her head.
Dylan slipped his hand into his pocket and stared at the pot.
"What's cooking? I mean, what should I help you with?"
"You can help me with the rice" she nodded towards the counter opposite her.
He nodded and started washing the rice.
"You met your mom yesterday?" He asked starting a conversation with her.
"Hmm mm"
"Nice. She really missed you I could tell" he said again.
"She didn't only came to see me. She said I'm having another proposal"
Dylan swiftly turned and stared at her.
"Proposal?"
"Yeah, I have a lot of proposals. But I think they would have vanish since they know I'm ugly now. Proposals comes in every week"
"Wow, why didn't you accept any of them?"
Beauty rolled her eyes wondering why he was suddenly asking such questions.
"I don't like any of them. They just want to get married to me because I'm rich and beautiful. But no man would want to marry an ugly person like me so my mom got me an insane man to marry me. That's insane" she said almost yelling.
There was a bit of annoyance in her voice.
"Ohh. Insane person. What did you say to him?" He asked again.
"I haven't. I told Mom that... Wait, why are you asking all these questions" she asked.
Dylan smirked.
"Just to know more about you. Nothing else. Besides, if we just keep mute here, the cooking will be boring"
"I also want to know more about you then" she said and closed the pot after washing the fish.
Dylan bit his lower lips and stared at the rice.
"You don't need to know"
"Really? You can know about me but you don't want me to know about you. That's so unfair" she turned her gaze elsewhere and folded her arms.
"I'll tell you when I feel like. Not now!" He said still staring the rice.
"Whatever"
.
After eating, granny sent Beauty to the store to buy some things.
She told her not to use the car. Sally secretly followed her.
.
"Granny, her mom is about to get her married to a mad person" Dylan reported everything he discussed about to granny.
She rubbed her finger on her chin.
"We can't let that happen"
"Let her just marry him granny. We don't match at all"
"Be quiet Dylan. If you don't get married to her. You will remain single forever" granny yelled.
"Is that a curse granny?" He asked squeezing his face.
"Why would I ever curse you? You are what is giving me joy" she said and kissed his forehead.
"What do we do?" He asked.
"Since it's a secret marriage... I have an idea" the granny said smiling with her old cracked lips.
Dylan nodded as he listened to her plans.
"I love you granny. I'll make sure none of my family find out about this. They will find out everything themselves. But now, I need to find trouble and see who my enemies are"
"That's the spirit butthead!!!" Granny raised her hands in joy.
"Yes gra...wait what??"
.
Sally and Beauty walked back to the cottage after buying some things.
They gisted on the way, talking about random things.
"No, English language teacher was hotter than the business studies teacher. Her ass was round and I'm sure she's hot inside also" Beauty said to Sally.
"Why should I argue with you? You know who is hot and not hot.." Sally replied laughing.
As they walked pass a sharp corner, some young boys saw them and started calling for their attention.
"Hey bitch!!!" Sally turned and stared at them.
She hissed and increased her pace.
"I'm talking to the girl in green not the ugly one" they laughed.
"The ugly one looks like the ass of a monkey" they laughed again.
Sally stared at Beauty.
"Don't listen to them"
"Why should I?" She smiled and continued walking.
"What about your lover?"
Beauty forces herself not to laugh.
"He is not my lover..."
"He likes you Beauty. I see the way he stares at you through the window"
"You've been spying?!!" She yelled at Sally.
"Yes, and I think he isn't really poor" Sally whispered.
"Told ya... He's pretty nice though"
Beauty muttered softly as she walked towards the cottage.
"Back to this... Place called house"
They both laughed weirdly as the walked more closer to the house.
