CEO PLUS-SIZE CRUSH

"I don't understand why you are angry".

Beauty said slowly, a bit embarrassed.

"If you aren't so fat! Maybe the ring would have been your size!"

That was the furious voice of her boyfriend Steven.

Beauty felt her legs weak and her heart pounding, as she tried to conceal her tears.

Every head in the shop turned towards them and all eyes were watching them as the scene was successfully established like Steven had wanted.

"We have larger sizes for her to try sir".

The jewelry store owner said to him politely.

Feeling sad for the poor girl, she had to come to the rescue.

"My fiancé may be hot-tempered, but I am sure he does love me...as much as I love him but..."

Beauty paused.

This wasn't the first day she's having this conversation with herself.

"It doesn't matter what size you have, it won't suck those fats away!"

"Baby, can we try another one please".

Beauty managed to say that with a smile on her face?

"Are you deaf!"

He yelled so loud that Beauty lost her power to hold back, her tears streamed successfully down her cheeks.

"I am so sorry Steven, I promise to go on a strict diet again".

She sobbed.

The jewelry store owner was left in the awkward situation, unsure how to convince the couple to buy the ring.

It was supposed to be her engagement ring, since Steven didn't know her size so he asked the big question before they set out to get the ring.

"Please Steven".

She kept crying.

The people watching started murmuring to one another.

"Another day of making people think I am a monster in public, good job, Beauty! I am done"

He snapped and walked out coldly.

"Steven!"

"Steven please".

He didn't look back or act like he knew that name.

The door closed, and another customer entered the room.

Beauty stood there, her head down crying bitterly, she opened her eyes to see her cold feet ... .big size feet.

Not the feet, a feminine lady should have.

She felt her blood drained, and her skin turned pale at that instant.

"Don't worry, he will change his mind, that I am sure of".

The jewelry woman consoled her.

Beauty looked up embarrassed, knowing that her eyes are now on her after that scene.

She pressed her lips and nodded.

Slowly, like a dying rat, she walked out of the jewelry shop, her steps unsteady and her vision blurry.

She felt heart pounding aggressively and her palms sweaty.

"He isn't fed up with the ring not fitting, he is fed up with me, just like Tim, like Nathan, and now Steven, they all dumped me with any slightest chance".

She suddenly felt a drop from her left eye and dried it off immediately.

"It's not the first time to get used to this already, fat is ugly... I am fat...beauty is privilege, and you are the opposite of your name, you are ugly...get used to...."

Startled, she looked up and saw a vehicle driving towards her, she gasped out loud. Someone grabbed her by the hand and pulled her back roughly.

"Hey! Watch it, you fat pig. The light is still red."

The man who saved her snapped.

Beauty apologized to him, but the man cared less about her apology

She panted heavily, still unsure what just happened.

It started raining heavily, the light turned green, and she was almost pushed down by the crowd running towards a shelter and running from the rain.

She was the only one relaxed under the rain, and didn't mind getting wet from the rain, it's the least of her problems now.

She had the flashback of Tim, the first man to confess to her.

He was her first love, and he loved her too...maybe...

After our first night together, he made known his intentions to her.

Beauty thought she was going to die back then.

"It's my first time".

She had whispered to Tim who had laid down exhausted, sweats dripping down his neck, her nervous hand twisting the duvet, cheeks burning with embarrassment and shyness.

"I can see that," Tim sneered.

Beauty expected more than that reply, but she shouldn't make a deal out of it, she thought and smiled back at him, trying to hide her disappointment.

"I'm glad it's you".

She said huskily, blushing.

After a few minutes of silence, Tim stood up from the bed.

"I am done".

"Huh?"

She chuckled, rather confused.

Beauty thought maybe she heard him wrong, or perhaps he was pulling her leg, her brain was unable to process the reason behind that utterance.

"I only dated you because I wanted to know how it feels like being with a plus size".

"Tim, what are you saying..."she asked softly, more confused.

"Do you think I will ever walk hand in hand with a girl three times my size?"

That statement got her speechless for a second.

"Tim! What the hell are you saying to me?"

She sobbed loudly.

"Look shit happens sometimes, I had to go, clean up the red stains before leaving".

He threw some bills on the bed.

"Tim.... What are you saying to me, don't treat me like some whore!"

She sobbed loudly.

"Get over it, not like I forced you to give me your virginity".

He snarled.

Beauty's heart pounding, and her tears flow endlessly.

He left and slammed the door after him.

Beauty lost words, she couldn't even think straight or say anything at that moment.

She didn't even cry out loud either, and had no idea if I could still breathe anymore.

She loved Tim so much that it hurts a lot ..... well, you know, a first love.

Beauty was only 16 when she got dumped by Tim, after confessing to her parents, they said she was going to heal and find someone better.

Beauty tried to forget Tim, but it wasn't so easy. However, 2 years later, she met Nathan at senior high school.

He made her believe in love again, calling her beautiful, thick and sexy.

He even flaunted her in front of his friends. Something Tim said he would never do.

Beauty was happy, very happy, finally found love, someone to love her genuinely.

Beauty was visibly glowing and happy, she went to gym and started dieting at a young age but unknown to her, she was only just a mere object of satisfaction.

That particular day she had walked into her boyfriend's house, a surprise visit, only to find him in bed with some girl.

Nathan didn't even flinch or apologize, even ran after her, he ignored her presence and led the girl on.

Beauty left the place shattered after some few days of not calling each other, she decided to go patch things up with him.

She didn't tell her parents about another love story that crashed but kept it to herself.

Getting to the door of Nathan's house, she

overheard horrible things that Nathan spilled out to his friends about her.

She was called fat and senseless by the same man who called her beautiful and bold.

He went on and bragged on how she can't do without him because she lacked love and dying for some love and affection due to her insecurities.

"She's sick of being alone, man, the bitch got me and can't afford losing me".

Nathan said with an air full of pride.

His friends laughed out loud.

"But how good does she skip?"

One of them asked.

"Just a heavy bag of pudding, nothing interesting, the last time I let her be a cowgirl, I almost lost my life and urge, lazy pillow princess, though she got hand and blow job skills I must confess, she can take you to heaven with her soft palms, you know what I mean".

He laughed, and his friends joined him.

"So you are ditching her for Kira".

Another asked.

"Well, you can't blame me, Kira is a whole upgrade more than the fat cum bag, you guys really don't expect me to be with her".

They laughed loudly.

Beauty froze at the spot, staring at her reflection on the glass door, her tears were flowing ceaselessly and hand glued to the door handle.

Hearing all he had said, she told herself not to blame him.

"If I got to choose a girlfriend for myself, as a man .... I won't pick me".

She mumbled to herself, staring at her reflection.

Nothing interesting in the image she saw, a bare face full of freckles, a brunette hair put up in her favorite ponytail, wearing baggy trousers and shirt to hide her body size, she cleaned her face and slowly let go of the door handle.

She turned around and headed home, there's no need wasting her life with a man who sees her as just an object of satisfaction and mockery.

She thought to herself.

That was 6 years ago and presently, there's Steven, whom she had opened my heart to and shared my past with.

He just unapologetically dumped her the same day he proposed.

Beauty opened the door to her room and shut it.

Leaning against the door, with her soaked clothes dripping wet.

She removed her clothes and went into the bathroom. After minutes of crying there, she got out and dried her body.

She put on her pajamas and climbed on the bed.

Steven's words echoed in her mind.

"If you ain't so fat, maybe the ring would have been your size".

"Wow! What a lady you are, Beauty, I am so sad for you".

She said to herself and kicked off the stuffed teddy on her bed and buried her face in a pillow, crying her soul out.

She fringed the pillow and sat up, crying loudly again.

"I hate my existence, I hate everything about me".

She screamed out bitterly.

"If...only ... I was as beautiful as everyone else...".

Minutes lapse

It's past 8pm, 4 hours after her mother had ceaselessly called her to have her dinner, but she ignored her.

A knock sounded on the door again and her mother opened the door slowly.

"Honey, you are going to starve to death, you are still young to worry about him, you will still have plenty of male interests in the future" she said softly.

"Why? Why am I fat and ugly! I have been bullied from my junior high until date".

"Beauty...".

Her mother sadly called for her daughter.

"Mom, you are ageless, a visual bomb and a nice body shape, why am I not like you?"

Beauty's mom was an ex beauty queen, people said she was the fat version of her mother.

"Sweetie, having your father's body isn't a curse, you are beautiful the way you are, look at those flesh most of them bullies envy them, you don't even have belly fat, you're thick...and chubby but definitely not fat, you have a healthy body mass index, who cares what people think, they are just jealous".

Beauty knew she was only trying to cheer her up, no one will ever envy a fat lady, Men want the slender and tiny waists.

Beauty just went mute, her lips shivering, holding back from crying in her presence.

"You know, I am going to tell you a secret".

Her mother said, trying to change the topic.

Beauty gazes at her with interest.

"What secret?"

She asked curiously, wiping her face with my palm.

"Promise you won't tell your dad".

Beauty hesitated, then nodded impatiently.

"Okay, yes, I promise".

Her mother started.

"Well I...."

She pressed her lips together like she was about to say something really heavy.

"I...kissed my cousin".

"What...EW".

Beauty snapped.

"We almost made out!"

This time Beauty's jaw dropped.

"Mom! You did what?"

"Don't act so innocent to me,"her mother laughed.

Beauty never imagined her mom to be that type, incest? That's so gross!

She covered my ear.

"I don't want to hear about it".

"We got all smoochy smoochy...and almost had sex,"

"What the..., he is your cousin, mom! That's rough, and so grossing me out now".

She chuckled at irritated Beauty and continued.

"I was a wild teenager and got drunk at my sixteen birthday, you know my couz Edward?"

"The one with a weird mustache?"

Beauty replied.

She nodded with a satisfactory smile.

"Yep, that was him".

"How could you!"

Beauty snapped loudly with a triggered anger.

"Calm down, like I said, we didn't actually get into it completely. I was drunk and asked him to kiss me, we both hugged tightly, and you know, we kissed and ended up in the bedroom.

Don't ever taste alcohol, I took a little and went crazy, not sure if you can keep up with it too".

"Ewww! Mom!"

Beauty yelled.

"I remembered he was a bad kisser and his baby mustache was there, remembering it now, it disgusts me".

Beauty slapped my forehead.

"Mom, you are really ...".

"Oh, did I mention, before we get all naked and stuff, your dad found us?"

Beauty's eyes rose, almost reaching to her forehead.

"Whaaaaaat! You knew dad then?"

"He was my first and only love".

She said it like a voice actor in one of those fairy tale movies.

"Dad's gonna kill him".

"No he was like..." what the heck is going on here, Vanessa, you are fucking your couz?"

I was dead drunk to even get those words right".

Mrs. Vanessa laughed.

"Wait, he did not kill Edward?"

"Of course not, I mean he is still alive right, he wouldn't be living now, if your dad had killed him years ago.

Nevertheless, he landed in the hospital, almost a week, they are yet to discharge him from the hospital.

Your dad visited him at the hospital out of pity,he said, but only to dislocate more bones the nurses saved him, poor Edward".

Beauty cracked up and laughed out loud.

"Just look in a mirror reflection and tell me how could anyone who isn't bitter call this angel ugly?"

Her mother's voice came calmly.

Beauty's smile faded slowly, her face clouded, as she stared at her reflection, eyes slowly getting wet with tears.

"I hope one day you will realize how beautiful and precious you are and flaunt your charms without giving an fuck what they say".

Her mother whispered.

"Mom..."

"Yes sweet".

"I want to be alone for a moment now,can you please leave".

Her mother sighed sadly.
