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

As it was a one bedroom flat so there was only one bed there which was also not very big to fit two person properly without touching each other.

”You.. you sleep on the bed and I'll sleep in the sofa in the living room.” Veronica said to Reuben.

Reuben didn't argue about that because he very well knew he couldn't win over her about this.. Moreover he didn't want to waste the peaceful moment fighting with her. So he nodded his head and entered her bedroom like a good boy..

----

In the middle of the night, Veronica was soundly sleeping on the sofa in the living room when the bedroom door got opened very lightly, not to make any sound so that the beautiful angel would wake up from her sleep..

Silently walking towards the couch, Reuben sat on his knees very slowly and kept looking at her beautiful face.

Every lights without the table lamp was off so the soft yellow colour of the lamp fell on her face which was shining like a star..

Bending a little more, Reuben tugged her hair locks behind her ear and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. This kiss was of pure bliss and longing that he was feeling for her from the past three months.

”I missed you Ica.. so much.. I hope the rest three months would end soon and you come back to us again..” Reuben whispered very lowly.

Smiling at her pout which she was unknowingly doing in her sleep, Reuben ran his hands through her hair and murmured, ”You know what Ica.. I don't like to call you Vero like others. Because you are very special to me and I also want to be the special one in your heart. I wasted a lot time, bickering with you for our whole life. But now.. now I really can't wait to make you my girlfriend.

I know you need a little bit time and want to enjoy your life. That's why, I never tried to trap you in a relationship for the past years with me because I know you like your freedom very much. But these three months without you, had made me restless completely. I felt my heart is not with me anymore. So I decided.. after you finish your project here and come back to S City again.. I'll make you mine.

I felt itching all those times when you smiled so brightly or looked so beautiful yet I couldn't hug or kiss you because I didn't want to ruin your teenage life which is very important to everyone.. specially to a girl. But believe me, I can't help but be selfish now. I badly want you to be my girlfriend. Am I behaving like a bad guy then?”

Sighing deeply, he continued, ”I hope one day, you will also love me back, like how much I do. I want to call you Ica for my whole life but not secretly like I'm doing now. Because my endearment for you is not something I can express in mere words.

I love you Ica. Hope you will soon be mine.”

A tear slipped from his eyes as he professed his love to the sleeping beauty in front of him.

Kissing her forehead again, he said, ”Good night love. Sleep well.” Then he entered the bedroom again.

It was already morning when both of them were having their breakfast. And of course, Veronica was absolutely oblivious to the last night incident...

She thought she saw a beautiful dream yesterday night where Reuben was proposing her to be his girlfriend. She shook her head in a negative way, thinking it couldn't ever happen in this life. Reuben could never love her. It would always be one-sided love from her side..

Finishing their breakfast, both Reuben and Veronica got out from the apartment for their own personal works..

As they were standing outside the gate of their apartment building, Veronica's heart clenched thinking about Reuben leaving city B and she would be all alone again here..

Same was happening to Reuben. He didn't want to leave her but he couldn't step over the boundaries which led to her dreams. So with a heavy heart, he decided to say goodbye to his one and only love...

Before leaving, he caressed her head and teased, ”Behave well little girl. Don't be clumsy again because there is no one to protect you.”

Hearing the sarcastic remark, Veronica huffed, ”I'm not a little girl and not clumsy too. You are an idiot.”

Reuben ignored her banter and said, ”Take care and if any problem arises... don't hesitate to call me.”

”Hmm.. bye.” Veronica said pouting.

Reuben nodded but before entering his car, he motioned towards his secret bodyguards who were hiding in the corners, to look for her who were protecting Veronica from the past three months without her knowledge.

Giving her another smile, Reuben told his driver to start the call and soon it vanished from her vision..

Looking towards the way with a sad teary face, Veronica was about to enter when another male voice called for her, ”Vero..”

Turning towards the voice, Veronica smiled, ”Hi Alex. Good morning.”

”Morning. Are you ready for the class?” Alex asked and when Veronica nodded both of them started walking towards their college.

In the halfway, Alex hesitantly called, ”Vero…”

”Hmm…??”

”When I came to your apartment, I saw a man entering a car. Is he someone close to you?” Alex asked, trying to suppress the unknown jealousy in himself...
