Chapter 140 - Trap you in a relationship... (1/2)

As the footsteps came nearer and nearer, Veronica took few deep breaths to steady herself and readied herself to kick off the person on the floor..

Positioning herself in the right posture she was about hit the  person who came extremely close to her when her wrist got caught in a tight hold of a strong man as he turned her over in a swift motion making her shriek in pain..

Trying to regain her balance, she tried to back-kick him when her leg also got pressed down smoothly by the unknown person while he tightened his hold on Veronica's waist..

”You bastard… Leave me right now. Do you know who I am?” Veronica shouted at him.

”Well my wild cat.. no one knows you better than me.” The man whispered in her ear fanning his hot breath over her bare flesh.

Veronica's eyes widened when she recognised the voice of the unknown intruder who was definitely not a stranger to her..

But what was he doing here???

Wasn't he supposed to be in City S? Then why was he there, holding her in a right grip?

When Veronica was busy in her thoughts, the man turned her over, making her face him and then started walking forward still holding her petite body in his arms..

Finally he stopped when Veronica's back was pressed on the wall, she shuddered feeling the sensation of the cold wall behind her while still staying in his arms..

”Did you miss me so much that you kept on looking at me?” The man teased in a low voice as he moved his left hand towards her face.

Caressing her cheeks with the back of his hand, he then roamed his hand from her shoulder to her arms. Veronica stood there quietly still in total shock as she hadn't any courage to say anything...

Regaining her sense, when she felt the man's face was very close to her, she was about to yell when he moved his face towards her right side and swithched on the lights of the room..

The lights illuminated the whole room, getting brightened up with the sudden electricity.. The lights fall on the two person's face who were looking into each other's eyes without caring about the world.

”Are you surprised to see me that much that you even forget to breath, Vero?” Reuben smirked at her.

Veronica left a big breath which she was holding till then without knowing herself. She looked at the man in front of her who was smirking in a teasing way and all her blood boiled up in anger..

”Reuben Smith.. What the hell are you doing here? And how did you get the house key of my apartment?” Veronica shouted as soon as she gained her sense back and noticed that there was none other than the great Reuben Smith, standing in front of her..

Reuben let go of her from his arms and distanced himself from her. He then bowed down a little and held up the grocery bags from the floor and straightly walked towards the kitchen, avoiding the fuming Veronica at the doorstep.

Veronica stomped her feet and ran towards the kitchen before asking again, ”Can you please tell me why are you here?”

Taking out all the groceries from the bag, Reuben started cleaning them one by one in the sink and said, ”Well, I'm here for a business meeting which will be hold tomorrow. So I have come to visit you as you are now in city B.”

Grabbing the clean groceries from Reuben's hand, Veronica started to keep them in to the fridge while asking, ”If you have a meeting here then which hotel you're staying in?”

”I hadn't booked any hotel. I'll be staying here.. IN your apartment.” Reuben said casually as if it was not a big deal to stay here...

On the other hand, Veronica gasped and said, ”Wha.. what do you mean? You can't stay here. Go book a hotel for yourself now.”

”Come on now Vero. You can't do this with me. Should not friends help each other when they are in some problems? I know that we're born enemy but think about our family friendship and let me stay here for one night.

How can you throw an innocent boy like me out of your house so late at night? It's not safe at all and if some horny girl try to r.a.p.e me!! No no.. I have to keep my body pure for my future girlfriend who would also gonna be my wife one day.” Reuben said looking at Veronica with a smirk which made Veronica rolled her eyes..

”Moreover I'm very tired to even move my fingers and you are telling me to move my legs.. sorry sorry.. Let me rephrase it.. You're telling me to move my whole body with my heavy luggages? That's not fair at all..” Reuben pouted cutely.

Though Veronica was not showing any softer feeling on her face but inside of her heart and mind, she instantly did a summersault out of happiness.

Unknown to them, both Reuben and Veronica missed each other very badly. So after seeing each other after three months, there was no horizon of their happiness of seeing each other after so many days..

Actually, truth to be told.. the meeting Reuben was talking about was not at all important for him to just attend personally.. but how could his heart stop him to catch the chance of seeing his long time love after months..

So the sole reason of his visit to city B was absolutely Veronica.. And now seeing her here all again, he felt refresh and lively again…

”Okay.. You can stay here tonight. Let me cook something for dinner then.” Veronica said, trying to hide the smile that was forcing to bloom on her plump lips..

After dinner, the biggest tension had arrived between them..

The problem of sleeping arrangements..
