A slice of Beauty

Chapter 9: Knight saves Queen

Before the maid could say another word, I snatched the note and I jumped out of the window like a crazy monkey.

Yes you might think I was crazy but I have no time to waste. Like I said, I'm doing this for love.

And not only love, but for the woman I loved with my whole heart.

I hero-landed on the clean grass and rushed back to the motorcycle

"THANKS AGAIN!" I called the maid out with my huge thank you and drove off

The maid just sighed and went back to cleaning

I quickly drove to the city where Veronicah's penthouse was at, I drove through the bridge between Pei-Town and the mesmerizing city.

And the moment I got there, there were a crowd of paparazzi surrounding the entrance of the penthouse while several guards kept on pushing them one by one.

I felt bad for one of the fan boys who were getting pushed down.

I seriously need to get in the penthouse, so I got off my motorcycle and tried pushing through the crowd,

but they kept pushing me back at the back of the paparazzi and the crazy fans

Like I just wanted to push everyone outta my way but I can't, I'm never that strong anyway.

How can Veronicah love a guy like me if I'm such a nerd and I'm just a low-life loser that Derrick always talks about.

(You might think that Derrick is the bully of the story but no he's not. He's like a best-friend who likes to insult my ass ALOT.)

"Thank you all! I would like to present this wholesome movie ladies and gentlemen." Some guy announced on top of the balcony with a lady beside him whose about 50 years old.

And I realized who those two people were... "Oh f#ck, right.."

Gino Galleto and Mrs. Wendell

I could feel my blood boil as I saw those two announcing their stupid movie.

I can't let them use Veronicah  like this, because I know from the bottom of my heart..

Veronicah is resting from all that paparazzi  and celebrity stuff. I mean, all famous people are just people, okay?

Even though I'm a loser, I know how it's like to have that kind of life since I try and understand Veronicah's words when we were resting at my house in a cold night.

Right after they started talking and saying some few things on the microphone, I just didn't care.

I need to find Veronicah, so I ran to the nearest backdoor of the penthouse and quickly got upstairs and checking every room.

When I came across a room saying "Superstar room" on a gold palette, I barged into it already knowing it's locked.

As soon as I barged onto the door, the lock broke.

Well that's easy-

I met Veronicah's eyes across the room, and it looked like she was putting on make-up.

"I thought I wouldn't see you again.." Veronicah stood up while setting her make-up supplies at the desk

"Veronicah! You don't have to do thi--" before I could finish my sentence,

she crouched down to my level and hugged me tight.

I hugged her back feeling so relieved that I saw her again

"Darling, I--"

Before she can finish HER sentence, I kissed her gently like she used to do to me.

As we kissed for like 26 seconds, she put her finger on my lips while her eyes were looking at me, shimmering with beauty.

"You don't need to worry about me, honey."

She looked at me calmly as she kissed my forehead with that same lipstick she wore, yeah it smells like Peppermint or should I say...Triple berries.

WHY am I blushing again for the fifth time!?
Or was it the millionth time since I get so flustered around her every. single. F*cking.  TIME!!!!

"We have to talk about your mom, she needs to give you a break."

"Well I haven't seen my mother for like 6 weeks because of the "break", darling."

" So I decided to meet up with her outside her house, it wasn't really that cold. She explained to me everything about the movie Gino was setting up. "

She settled down her eyelash material

"But I kind of heard the maid telling me that your mom is using you for money-"
