Chapter 5 - 5. The Mysterious Man… (1/2)

After lunch, Veronica ran towards her bed and jumped onto it giving a slight bounce to her body as the mattress was very thick and soft..When her head hit the soft pillow, she immediately fell asleep due to her exhaustion..

When the sun set down, a loud ringing sound came from her phone that woke the sleeping beauty up. She grunted sleepily because of the disturbance in her sleep and then picked up her phone from the bedside table.

”Yaaa....Niccy….” came a loud voice from the other side of the phone..

Veronica kept her phone far away from her ear as she couldn't bear the loud sound and said angrily, ” Lucinda Wilson.!! You better lower your voice otherwise it'll be no more time to turn me into a deaf person.”

Realising her friend's bad mood through her husky voice, Veronica's best friend Lucinda exclaimed, ”Oh! Baby, were you sleeping? Did I disturb your beauty sleep? Sorry if I really did it.”

”It's okay girl. Cool down. Now tell me why did you call me. Hearing your excited voice I can easily tell that there is something cooking in your little head. So speak up.” Veronica said rubbing her eyes..

”He he he” giving an awkward smile to Veronica, Lucinda continued ” Yes,yes, Niccy. You are right that I've something very important to tell you. So I'm starting now.”

”Hmm.. tell me now Lucy” Veronica said.

”You remember nah that tomorrow is the party of the Smith family?” Lucinda asked.

”Why everybody is asking me the same question??” Veronica shouted feeling annoyed.

” Eh Niccy, don't be angry now. I was just asking you. By the way, have you prepared any dress for yourself?

”Yeah.. I just went for shopping with Mom today morning. So I bought one from there. And what about you? Did you pick anything for yourself?” Veronica questioned her back.

”Yup.. I also bought a dress. Actually not one but three dresses. And now I'm very confused about what to wear in the party and that is the main reason I called you ” Lucinda said somehow being frightened of her friend as she knew when her bestie would listen to her reason of calling; she would burst on her. And as she expected....

”What???? Three dresses just for one party!! Are you crazy Lucy?” Veronica cursed her angrily.
