Chapter 138 - Powerhouse of Energy... (1/2)

Finally taking her phone from the side table, she started playing with it in nervousness..

After taking three big and deep breaths to calm herself, she dialed the number, very excited to hear the other person's voice…

”So you finally got the time to call me back?” Reuben said from the phone.

”Woahh..! No hi and hello.. you just jumped into mocking me?” Veronica protested.

Reuben on the other side felt her behavior really funny. So he started chuckling at her making her more angry.

”Hey.. why are you laughing?” Veronica argued.

”Nothing.. tell me how are you? Are you having any trouble there?” Reuben asked.

Veronica puffed her cheeks in anger and said, ”Why do you care? Not that you are my father or brother.”

Reuben chuckled and said, ”Obviously. I can't be a father of a 20 year girl when I myself is only 22. And about being your brother…

First of all both Neil and Henry took that position for you. Secondly, I will never allow you to be my sister..”

”Why can't you be my brother? I can create a vacant seat for you in my life for your brother position?” Veronica teased him.

”Well, I can't take it as I'm not in the mood to be your brother. Now stop talking rubbish.. and tell me how are you doing there?” Reuben stopped her from teasing him further.

”Yeah.. I'm doing fine here. Even I got a new friend here.” She said the last part excitedly, making Reuben wonder about the uncertain things which could make his blood boil.

Couldn't able to suppress his curiosity, he asked in a serious voice, ”Is the new friend of yours a male or female?”

Veronica smirked hearing the question and said playfully, ”A very handsome male friend... Why do you ask?”

”A handsome male? Huh!! Is he more handsome than me? Nah... He can't be, as I'm always the best. And one more thing, stop making friends with guys in city B. No one is there to help you if you fell in some problems.” Reuben strongly spoke out his points.

Taking deep breath to control her laughter, Veronica mumbled in a low voice, ”You can't tell me who should I make my friend or not. Stop acting like my boyfriend when you are absolutely not the one.” Before Veronica could realise, the words slipped out of her mouth and she face-palmed herself...

Whereas Reuben's experience was the most iconic one to see and finally when he overcome his shock he teased, ”Boyfriend? Do you want me to be your boyfriend? If you want then…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Veronica yelled on the phone in embarrassment, ”Who wants to make you boyfriend.. You Moron..”

”But you just said that. Now don't act like you didn't say it few seconds ago..” Reuben continued to tease her.

”You.. you bastard. I don't want you as my boyfriend. Keep dreaming. Not even for a single day of my whole life, I can think of being your girlfriend..” Veronica shouted and cut the call.

She buried her face in her pillow as all the blood of her body rushed into her face, turning her cheeks completely red in shyness. She felt her face turned hot and she slapped herself to reduce the redness getting stronger and brighter.

”Oh…God… Why is Reuben behaving like this? Does he know about the little crush I've on him? No.. no.. no..he definitely doesn't know about it. Don't overthink Vero and have a good night sleep. Don't forget you have to go to class tomorrow morning.” Veronica muttered to herself as she suppressed her blush.

On the other hand, Reuben couldn't help but laughed out loud. He was missing his little mortal enemy so much..

-----

It's already been more than a week that she went to city B, leaving him here all alone. He was missing her cute bickering with him like hell..

There was not a single day he wouldn't think of her. The days without her was like lifeless to him. He was missing the fun of fighting with her.

The cute blabbering and argument of hers with him, was the most favourite part of his everyday boring life. Her nagging was the most favorable melody for him.. her sweet smile was his powerhouse of energy...

He couldn't forget her doe like eyes which would look at him with so much anger and sometimes with affection.. Reuben was certain that Veronica also had some feelings for him which was more than friendship..

Well, for him.. it was always her when he went to sleep or woke up in the morning. Her face would always flushed in his mind whenever he was working, eating or studying since their teenage days..

Now, the long distance between both of them, making him understand that how much he loved her and every passing second without her is like a torture for him..

*sigh*

However, now he has to wait for six months to see her beautiful face again…

Three months had already passed in a blink of eyes..
