BEAUTY AND BEAST

GUEST

Beauty woke up very late the next day when her eyes met another pair that were looking at her as if solving a math problem.

Beauty blinked not believing her eyes, she was probably dreaming but why was he in her dreams?

"Pinch me." Beauty requested.

"Why do you want me to pinch you?" Micheal asked curiously.

"So that I can know if I'm dreaming or not." Beauty said.

"Then you have to be specific about the exact place where you want me to pinch you at." Michael said.

"My cheek." Beauty said. She wanted to say anywhere but thinking of his perverted nature, she decided to be specific.

"Okay." Micheal said and pinched her so gently on both cheeks that Beauty suddenly forgot the actual purpose why he was even pinching her. She couldn't feel any pain at all.

"I want to feel pain to know that I'm really not dreaming." Beauty said a bit annoyed.

You're not dreaming, you don't compulsorily need that thing. Anyways why do you think you're dreaming?" Michael asked.

"You're in my room." Beauty said.

"You're wrong, this is my room." Michael said.

"Sorry I forgot for a minute that the house was yours and so is every room in the house." Beauty said a she felt an inexplicably sadness overshadow her.

"I'm sorry I made you upset but this is really my room, you can look around and see." Micheal said and Beauty sat up a bit and looked around and realised that this was really not the room she always slept in and plus, it was the room she came to meet him in the other day.

"Then what am I doing here? I had fallen asleep in my own room." Beauty said.

"I brought you here, I had a nightmare and I was scared so I decided to bring you over to sleep with me." Michael said.

Beauty suddenly felt very sorry for him, if he was still scared of nightmares then what of the time when he was a child? She wondered who used to accompany him when he had a nightmare?

Before Beauty even got to realise what she was even doing herself, she had already hugged him instinctively as if trying to protect him and Micheal also hugged her back.

"If you have nightmare again I'll accompany you at any time so don't hesitate to call me." Beauty said and Michael couldn't help but feel inexplicably warm in his heart. This was the first time someone was actually willing to accompany him when he had a nightmare, even her mother wouldn't want to do that and he felt better when he heard her.

"Thank you." Micheal said.

"I think it's time to have breakfast." Micheal said and carried her.

"You really don't have to do this you can just put me down, I'll walk on my own." Beauty said.

"Let me carry you and you can consider it as a thanksgiving gift for keeping me company for the night." Micheal said to the girl who finally stopped struggling to get out of his arms and he wondered if one day she would try the same to leave him again. Beauty only relaxed when they got to the dining hall.

There were so many exquisite dishes packed on the table and Beauty wondered what occasion it was.

"What day is today?" Beauty asked.

"It's just a normal Monday." Michael said.

"Are you receiving guests?" Beauty asked.

"You're my guest." Michael said and Beauty was shocked beyond recognition.

"I can't eat all these." Beauty said, in fact she is not a foodie.

"You have to gain some weight but anyways just eat as much as you can my brother will join soon, but for today you're my guest." Michael said.

This was actually the first time Beauty had the chance to eat with Michael at the dining hall, she usually ate in her room alone.

"If I'm his guest just for today then what would I be tomorrow? " Beauty thought.
