He's A Beast, I'm His Beauty

Chapter One

As I lie in bed, I can feel the warm sun on my face, it feels nice. I slowly open my eyes to see that the day has begun and once again I beat my alarm clock, what a waste of $5. I throw the blankets off and just lie there letting the warm sun bathe my naked body what a mistake because shortly after, the damn cat ran across my boobs and I swear cut my right n****e off. I curse Oliver (the cat) out as usual and start my attempt to get out of the bed. As usual, I’m reluctant so I swing my legs around and lie in this position for another five minutes and then finally stand up just as the alarm starts to play “Cassie” by Flyleaf. “I’ve got to get a new song for the alarm,” I mumble to myself as I make my way to the bathroom. Standing at the sink I stare at myself in the mirror taking inventory of all the flaws I see; Dark rings around my light brown eyes, freckles across my face, bushy eyebrows, wild and free hair. ‘f**k. This. s**t, I do not have the time nor the energy to deal with this today. Maybe tomorrow.’ I think to myself as I roll my eyes at myself and with that, I climb into the shower. I let the warm water rinse away my troubles like I’m being mind erased in that movie “Men In Black”. I complete my routine wash, meaning I washed my ass twice. I dry off leaving my towel on the floor and I wander into my room as if I don’t have to be at work in an hour. I pull out a pair of jeans, a band T-shirt and sneakers to match. I quickly throw on my outfit and work my way to the kitchen where I find Oliver patiently waiting on the counter, little prick has been told a thousand times to stay off the counter, but does he listen NO! I can only shake my head. I make me some eggs with spinach, green peppers, chopped onions, and cheese and dump it into a Tupperware bowl to eat at my desk. I grab my tumbler and fill it with OJ because I am not about that water life. I grab my keys and purse and head out the door.

I make it to the office early as hell so that gives me enough time to make it in and eat my food without being bothered. I reheat my eggs in the microwave and grab ice for my juice and then head back to my desk. Before I can get started with my daily routine and get started with my emails and to-do list Kallen peeks his head in “Hey! Stormy, you’re here early as usual”. I cannot help but roll my eyes in annoyance, Kallen is one of those guys if I didn’t have to work with him, I’d punch him in the face. “Morning Kallen, how are you?” I say I hope he can hear the annoyance in my voice as I slowly swivel my chair around to meet his gaze. He’s standing there staring at me like I’m a piece of meat waiting to hit the grill before he snaps back to reality, “Oh, I’m good. Thankful it’s Friday. Got any exciting plans for the weekend?” he asked as if that’s not the real question. What he really wants to know is I have any plans that he can be included in, and the answer is a flat NO. “Nope, no plans other than laundry. You?” I wish he’d just walk the f**k away. But no, he’s still standing here. The office is almost full of people in full motion and he’s standing at my office door like a mannequin in the mall. “No plans, but hey if you want to get a drink this weekend just shoot me a text. See you around the water cooler.” And with that he walks away, finally, I can breathe. The next few hours at work seem to speed by which is very weird because normally the morning meeting feels like it will never end. 4 PM finally came and I was out the door at 4:01 PM, the drive home was smooth while I jammed out to “KOD” by J. Cole. My phone rang and I chose to ignore it, at the next red light I quickly look to see who it was. Kelly, she’s always trying to convince me it’s a good idea to go out for drinks. As I cruise to the next light, I see my phone ringing again and it’s Kelly. I finally use the Bluetooth to answer, “Yes, Kelly. How can I help you?” I say already knowing what she’s going to say. “Stormy, we’re going out tonight. No, no, no. You’re not going back home to go to sleep. Plus, I’m already at your house with your outfit picked out. We’re going to look so hot!” She sounds WAY too excited about this.

I pull into my driveway and find my house taken over but none other than Kelly and Kendra. These two mean troubles for me, but I can’t help but love these weirdos. As I open the door all I hear is the radio blaring “Help you with your career just a little, I could’ve held ya down…” by Lizzo. I try to slowly back out the door and make a run for it, but Kendra spotted me.

“Storm get ya ass in here” She shouts from the kitchen, already drinking. How do they party before the party? Whatever these girls better go away. “Kendra, I’m not going. I’m tired and this weekend I’m starting hibernation early.” I say as I plop down on the couch and go through the mail. “Ummm, we’re not going to watch you wither away like an old plant. So, go take a shower, change them god awful clothes and let’s go!” Kendra is so damn pushy. “FINE! I’ll go but I’m going to complain the entire time.” And with that, I make my way to the bathroom and hop into the shower.

I climb out the shower to see Kelly standing there grinning from ear to f*****g ear. “Damn, can’t a girl get some privacy?” I say quickly wrapping my towel around myself. “Yeah ok, girl we’ve known each other since diapers. PUH-Lease on the privacy s**t. Now go in there and put on the outfit I picked out for you.” She then spins on one foot and dances out of the room. I walk into my bedroom and drop the towel like normal, except this time I stare at myself in the mirror taking in the person standing before it. I’m 5’7” not too short but not tall either, I weigh 200lbs to me that’s not too bad. I mean I wear a size 14 plump in all the right places. Big butt, small gut. Large breasts forget the rest. My natural hair stops at the middle of my back, but unnaturally dyed blue. I slip on my black panties set, which I just realized they were picked out for me. This girl better stay out of my clothes. And I find the dress lying across the bed, it’s a black-sequined dress that felt like a new layer of skin. Kelly & Kendra walk in just as I’m pulling the dress over my ass. “YASSSSS, I knew you’d look great. Now makeup and hair and we out the door.” Kelly said with a bit more excitement than I think was really needed. I’m forced to deal with pulling here, plucking there, burn mark over there and finally I’m done. They don’t even give me a chance to look at myself in the mirror because the uber is here. I’ll assume I look ok and off we go.

The ride felt like it was taking forever, going to a part of town I’ve never seen before. They both jump out and I’m half tempted to have the driver turn around and take me home. They pull me out, I guess they sensed my hesitation. Standing outside the car, I’m now in a f*****g field with an abandoned building in the middle of it. I can hear music bumpin, but I refuse to think it’s coming from that building.

“Kendra, wherein the hell did you and Kelly bring me?” I asked trying to back away before it’s too late. This is how horror movies start you know, going out to have some fun and f*****g Jason pops up and kills everyone. OH, HELL NO!

“It’s the hottest club in the tri-state, come on. We’re on the VIP because Kelly is dating the DJ” Kendra said with a hint of sarcasm at the end. I just rolled my eyes I know what that meant, means Kelly slept with him once and if he wants to do it again, he’ll let her in the club for free.

We walked to the door and Kelly enthusiastically knocks. The door opened and out steps this Amazonian, I swear she’s about 6’ she’s blonde and was wearing all black. “Name?” she said eyeballing it us all as if she’s about to kick our ass. “Kelly Windrum, I’m on the VIP” Kelly shouted. The Amazonian then went back in just to return with three glow in the dark wrist bands, she then guided us down a long hallway and opened the door. I swear the inside was much better than the outside. All you see are crowds of people dancing, drinking and having a good time. At the center of the club is the DJ booth and Kelly left me and Kendra to go join her new flavor. Kendra then turns to me and shouts “Let’s get some drinks” I nodded in agreement. We found our way to the bar and attempted to order drinks, however, as soon as the bartender saw our wristbands, she told us we don’t drink from that bar and then came around to guide us to the VIP section. The VIP section was much nicer than the rest of the club with gold and silver accents, chandeliers, softer music playing, actual seating and waiters that come to you if you don’t feel like going to the buffet and it’s all covered by the bands that nice bartender explained to us. Once we settled in the bartender disappeared, I guess she had to get back to her post.

I find myself sitting in the corner and somehow, I’ve lost Kendra among the food. Damn that girl can eat. Anyways, the waiter for this section came past and asked if I was thirsty. I told him I’d like an Apple Martini and he came over with food & a martini. When I attempted to reject the food he simply replied, “I’m sorry ma’am however the owner sent this complimentary and I cannot take it back. It’s chicken parmesan with roasted asparagus and zucchini noodles, it’s very popular. Please enjoy” and then he walked away quickly to tend to the rest of his patrons. Luckily, I was hungry and decided to taste the food, normally I wouldn’t have eaten it because well I didn’t ask for this, but it did smell SO GOOD. The first bite melted in my mouth, I washed it down with my drink and then ordered another drink, hey if I’m being forced to be here might as well drink a little right? I’m on my 5th martini when I saw this group of Greek Gods walk in and I’m telling you I wasn’t the only one that noticed them every girl in the place couldn’t take their eyes off them. There was one who I think stood out from the rest he caught my attention and caused my heart began to rapidly beat. He was about 6”, broad shoulders, you could see his muscles flex through his black dress shirt, his red hair stopped at his shoulders but was slicked back behind his ears which sported the biggest damn diamonds I think his ears could hold. His eyes were green like emeralds and his smile, well his smile I’m sure made a few panties other than mine soaked that night. He and his buddies made their way to their table and sat down, funnily enough, you’d think they were bad boys, but they weren’t you heard them talking amongst themselves but not above a whisper. They ordered food and drinks and kept to themselves that was until a bunch of girls decided to make themselves comfortable at their table. I decided it was time to find Kendra and Kelly and go home. The night was over.
