I guess you know what happened last time on "Beauty Unleashed from the Eye of the Beholder."
Bell MT community center, the moonlit masquerade; Andrew's point of view.
I guess everyone knows about me, I'm Andrew; I met Melinda when she was 7 and I was 5. Melinda had a vision of me dancing with a girl and we were friends ever since.
"Hay, Andrew." Olivia said.
"Yes, Olivia?" I asked.
"Have your parents ever treated you like a baby?" She asked.
"My dad told me that I can only tryout for cheerleading because he doesn't want any son of his to grow up to be a sexist pig." I replied.
"Yeah, my mom always told me 'no birthday parties, no extra curricular activity picnics and no school dances,' that's probably why I'm home schooled back home in Oregon." Olivia Said.
The previous song ended and the disc jockey just said that it was time to slow things down. "May I have this dance?" I asked Olivia trying to sound suave.
"Of course." Olivia giggled.
It was an experience to remember, holding each other close, her hands on my shoulders, my hands on her hips, swaying to the music. Oh man I felt like a man.
"Olivia, it's almost midnight." Bethy said when the song got to the end.
"Aw man." Olivia responded to that bit of info. "Mom is gonna kill me."
"I'll go with you, Olivia." I offered.
When we got to the exit, I was feeling a little vonerable. "Are you alright, Andrew." Olivia asked.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." I replied. "I'll get your cloak."
I went to get Olivia's cloak when an old man encountered me. "Oh boy aren't you a handsome devil." The old man said.
"No way, I'm with someone." I said nervously, you could tell I was nervous because my cheeks turn pink.
"Oh Sunny, I know." He said, but then he noticed Olivia's cloak in my hand. "Going so soon?"
"It's almost midnight; her mom is going to kill her if she knows Olivia's here and then she'll kill me." I replied.
"Well handsome devil, I know just the thing to resolve this matter." He said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a dark red apple. "Just one bite will make all your hopes, dreams and wishes come true."
"I sure do love Olivia." I thought to myself as the old man handed the apple to me. "I wish her life were as easy as she wants it to be; if this is a trick, then I hope that she finds someone who can love her the way I could've." I took a bite out of the apple, but then I felt tightness in both my throat and my chest and then blackness filled my mind.
I felt a pair of lips press against my own lips. When the tightness in both my throat and my chest dissolved, I woke up to the sight of a teary Olivia giving sigh of relief. "Olivia? Olivia, are you okay?" I said so weakly. Olivia was so happy that I was alright, she gave me a hug.
Nia wasn't very happy about this. "NO!" Nia screamed and then she turned her attention to my father and Olivia's mother. Who was there, I'm still not sure when they showed up. "Olivia was only trying to protect the ones she loves, but your rules make it so hard for her to do it, Wendy."
"I was trying to protect her." Wendy shouted
"By not trusting her? HUH? And you, Romeo, did you honestly think that if your son were in sports, he'd be a sexist pig?" Nia asked.
"He's so young; I can't bring myself to trust him." Romeo, my dad said. I hung my head in shame.
But then Olivia threw a stick that was on fire at Nia. Nia dogged it, but lost her balance and fell to the ground. "The more damage she does, the less likely I am to spare her." Olivia whispered. "But I will this time; next time, she better not cause much damage." Nia diapered.
I beg you to review, if I get nothing but good reviews, I'll write a bonus epilogue.
