"The Beauty And The Beast"

- Aaliyah Bose

It was impossible, unpredictable, unbelievable. The beauty and the beast. She was young, smart, kind, passionate. She would learn, observe, think, sleep, repeat.

She couldn't believe it. So she never said it. She didn't want it to be true. But deep down she knew... she knew that she loved him.She knew he loved her.

He knew he loved her, never admitted it. He was scared, afraid of the unknown, she was too. He wore a mask and she did too.

They played minds games not knowing that their minds were already connected. She knew they loved each other deeply but he didn't, he thought it was one-sided, because he couldn't believe it.

The beauty and... the beast.
