I'm Guilty, My Beauty[COMPLETED]

"I did it!" Beauty cheered as she twirled around in delight in the middle of the garden. Ronald was watching her as he was guessing whether the lover boy would arrive or not at this moment after he sent Clarence the message she passed for the nationals. She only needed to get to the regional championship.

Beauty spread her hands wide and continued to twirl until she got dizzy.

"Whoa! Careful there," said Ronald as he caught her from almost hitting her head on a tree near her.

They were in an ambiguous position as he was supporting her neck and laid her head gently on the tree. From afar, it seemed Ronald was about to kiss her while her face was in an upward position and her eyes closed for being dizzy.

At this moment, Cathy was merely passing by when she saw the view. She was shocked as she whipped her phone out. "What's this? Clarence's girlfriend is playing tricks on him and had another lover? Poor Clarence!" She took a photo before Ronald could react. In fact, she was also offended. How dare this bumpkin take Clarence AND another man with that kind of face?

"Stop that! It's not what you think!" Ronald shouted and waved his free hand. He left Beauty's side after he was sure she could stand still.

"Why would I? It's done! Clarence and others had seen it. Bye!" Cathy replied with a laugh while scurrying without turning back.

"Damn stray …" He would spat if he could. Recalling their weird position made Ronald exasperated.

As for Beauty, she was still unsure what had happened after her giddiness left her.

"What happened? Why was Cathy here? Did she do something weird again?" Her confused words fell on the ears of Ronald whose irritation was heightened by Cathy's style to create problems for Beauty.

"She took a picture when I was supporting you from falling," Ronald roared with anger on his eyes. His eyes were roaming around to check where the three bodyguards were hiding. There within the trees, he spotted the lady under the supervision of Paul.

He sent a message to a certain Jenna, fingers tapping with force.

Ronald: Please grab her phone away.

Jenna: Don't worry, we'll take care of that. You better call Clarence to explain.

Ronald: OMG, should have done that. Thanks for the reminder.

Jenna: For you, always. :-)

"Ha? What's this?" Ronald was skeptical of what the last message meant. Recalling Jenna's face and body figure made him smile, absentmindedly stroking his chin. He was thinking that maybe she liked him. Is it time to end his bachelor's life?

Beauty caught his gentle smile while gazing at the nearby trees. "Hey, what are you mooning about? Look at that silly smile of yours! Haha, are you thinking of a certain girl? Hmm, probably?" She smiled … hesitant about the last part.

Ronald reprimanded her with an angry pout. "I've heard nothing but questions from you. I suggest you better call Clarence and explain."

"Oh, right …" Suddenly, a call came.

"Hi, I saw a weird photo being posted in the chat room." Clarence was skeptical while looking at the newly uploaded image of the two.

"Please, trust me." She wasn't sure what the image projected to the viewers, but she believed that it could be easily misunderstood. "I got dizzy from twirling around, and Ronald caught me before my head almost hit a tree."

"Okay, I understand. I trust you." Clarence started calming himself. "Tell Ronald to be careful next time as not to cause a commotion." He sighed and massaged his flexed neck muscles after hearing her concerned voice.

"What about the uploaded photo? What does it look like?" She became uneasy and bit her lower lip as a habit.

He rested his arm on the glass window pane as he watched the cityscape. "No need to know. I'll have it deleted. Don't worry. Miss you and congratulations."

Her agitation stopped, and her lip relaxed. "Miss you, too. See you in Manila for the nationals."

"Don't think you can get away and wait for the finals. I'm almost finished here, and I'll be with you ASAP," said Clarence with a smirk.

"When is that?" She grew excited to know he's coming. If only he knew how much she missed him, too.

"Hehe, surprise." He hung up the call and sent a message to the chat room mod.

ChefDeli: @TrunkHead please delete the image.

TrunkHead: Hmm, is this GleeGal in the photo?

ChefDeli: Delete it, please.

TrunkHead: The guy 'bout to smooch her.

ChefDeli: It was taken ambiguously. It's not true. No gossip allowed. Please delete it now, or I will create a storm in your restaurant. (huffing, puffing angry wolf emoticon)

TrunkHead: Hahaha, sure, I'll delete now. Don't come here, or my lady workers will go loco.

So the newly uploaded photo was instantly deleted, and Cathy was muted for 24 hours.

Cathy was so angry as she saw what the mod did. She was gnashing her teeth with ire when a lady bumped into her. The collision was so strong, making them both lose balance. The phone flew out of her hand and fell into a pond. It sunk deep underneath as the lights died.

"HEY, BITCH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? LOOK AT WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY PHONE!" Cathy couldn't contain her emotions anymore. She was in hysteria. First, the photo was deleted, and she was muted in chat. Now, her phone fell in the pond. Such unfortunate events happening one after the other at the same time.

"Sorry? What happened to your phone?" Jenna, holding a cane, stood three steps away from Cathy but was facing ahead as she talked. She was wearing dark sunglasses though it was late in the afternoon, and so no one could tell where she was looking.

"What happened to my phone? You still dare to ask?" Her teeth gnashed and wished to take out all her frustrations on Jenna.

"Sorry, but I really don't know. I'm actually blind." She turned and took off her sunglasses. White filaments covered her pupils. She was apologetic and said, "I'm really sorry for what happened, Miss."

"What? You're blind? How come no one is with you?" After seeing the lady's eyes, Cathy felt helpless and stupefied. Her anger was snuffed out as if cold water was poured on her.

"I have my cane, and my friend will be here soon." Indeed, the bulky man arrived next to her.

"What happened?" said her 'friend.'

After seeing the scary stern face and the large body of the 'friend,' Cathy got afraid and just said, "Never mind. Next time, don't leave your blind friend here walking on her own. She will cause accidents."

She left with a frustrated face. The two looked at each other in silence and went to different directions like nothing happened. Ronald received a message from Jenna afterward.

Jenna: Mission accomplished.

Ronald: Thanks, where are you now? Can we have dinner together?

Jenna: We will be heading to the dining hall.

Ronald: I mean just the two of us. Eat somewhere out there. :-)

Ronald: When will that be?

Jenna: Maybe tomorrow when Clarence arrives.

Ronald: Okay, just text me.

Jenna: Okay

Jenna giggled, reading his reply.
