Chapter 53 - RED, BLUE AND PURPLE… (1/2)

Next Morning…

It was already 10 am but Veronica was still sleeping. Reuben came in the bedroom with a tray in his hand with full of foods.

He kept the tray on the center table and sat at the edge of the bed. He then removed the hair strands that were covering Veronica's small face and caressed her cheeks.

Pecking her lips, he whispered in her ear, ”Good morning Babe.. Wake up now. I already made the breakfast. So get up quickly and clean your face.”

Veronica moved her head from the pillow and placed it on Reuben's lap, rubbing it on his thigh gently like a little kitten..

Chuckling at her cute behavior, Reuben brushed her hair with his fingers and said, ”Aww.. My little kitten is being too much clingy today. And I like it very much.” As he leaned down to kiss her head.

Rubbing her face in Reuben's belly, Veronica replied in a hoarse voice, ”Good morning baby..”

”Hmm.. A very good morning. Now don't be a lazy body and quickly freshen up.” Reuben said.

Veronica's eyes that were shut tightly, instantly flew opened at Reuben's words and she sat up from the bed straightly, holding the blanket around her body.

She glared at him and spoke in a angry voice, ”What? Lazy body? Me? Have you gone crazy Mr. Reuben Smith or do you want me to beat the shit out of you?”

Breathing heavily, she continued, ”Last night, who was the person who tossed and turned me on the bed through the whole night? And only let me sleep before the sunrise?”

Controlling his laughter very hardly, Reuben feigned a face of innocence as he replied, ”Babe.. What are you saying? Don't lie about this kind of indecent things at the start of a fresh morning?”

Veronica's eyes widened and her mouth opened widely in total shock. She left a huge and deep breath and again looked at the 'so called innocent face' in front of her fiercely. Right then, she didn't want anything without strangling this innocent face in front of hers..
