Chapter 139 - D-Day closer... (1/2)
She felt like something was amiss with Alex today. Like Alex was not Alex today.. but a different person..
Like he had totally changed into a different man in just one night…
She also noticed that Alexander's appearance is quite different today. His fair face was a bit paler than his usual self. His cute chubby cheeks were also a little slender today. The sweatshirt he was wearing today was also a little loose on him...
But all in all, he was looking handsome rather than cute today...
The eyes which were always glossy that even seemed to become clearer and softer. He had a beautiful smile on his face whenever he was looking at her. This time no stealing glances instead it was a pure eye to eye look.
Veronica kept looking at him in astonishment as to think of the reason of his sudden change which was obviously good.
”Hey Vero… Are you listening to me?” Alexander asked her raising his eyebrows.
Scrunching her eyebrows together, Veronica couldn't held up her interest about his sudden demeanor change and asked, ”Alex, why do I feel like you have suddenly turned into another person?”
As if, Alex already expected the question from her, he cutely smiled and asked sheepishly, ”What change you are talking about?”
Veronica made a face like she didn't know how to answer this but still tried to phrase her words properly to make him understand...
”Look Alex.. I don't know how to express it properly but you seem to become more confident about yourself.. and for before...
Whenever you would meet me, your cheeks used to turn red in shyness but now you are looking into me right in the eye without getting all pinky on your cheeks.” Veronica said moving her hand in the air.
Hearing it, Alex chuckled and said, ”Actually. I couldn't sleep yesterday at all, so I had became a little skimpy.”
”Why hadn't you slept yesterday?” Veronica asked in confusion.
Alexander looked at her mischievously and then bowed his head shyly to avoid looking at her eyes and replied, ”Actually.. actually I have joined a self grooming class a week ago. And it was the training of them which makes me look more confident and smart.”
Veronica made an awkward face at this and then burst into a huge laughter. She then asked in between her laughs, ”Really? But why? You are cute in your own way. Is there any special reason for it?”
Smiling sheepishly again, Alonzo replied, ”In reality.. I want to impress a girl who is very beautiful. And if I want to gain her heart then I've to become handsome too like other guys. So.. so I joined the classes.”
”What? You want to impress a girl? Tell me who is she. I'll help you in this.” Veronica's eyes widened hearing her friend having a crush over a girl.
She was very happy for him that her always shy friend is showing interest on someone and trying to change himself...
Alex grinned at her and said, ”You know her already very well. But I'll tell you after I complete my grooming class. Now don't press me much about her.” He pouted.
”Aww..!! You are looking so cute. Though you are trying to convert yourself into a more confident man but remember this.. never turn your adorable heart into a stone like one. By the way.. I like the cute side of you more.” She said becoming all childish and excited.
Nodding his head at her, Alex showed her a bright smile and said, ”I promise, I'll never change to a cold person and always stay cute for you.”
”So it's a 100% promise?” Veronica asked letting her pinky finger out.
Holding her pinky finger with his, Alex said, ”100% promise.”
Veronica shook her head at him and said, ”Okay. Now time for our discussion about the manuscript. Let's concentrate on that thing.”
Alexander smiled and both of them started discussing about it..

One week passed by like this...
Veronica was busy with her studies and helping her classmates to learn the new software functions. The modelling part is quite difficult which was making everyone a little tensed and restless.
Therefore, all of them were really bragging Veronica to help them as she was already a pro in this...
