Chapter 319 - Full fledged romantic story... (1/2)
Both of them leaned forward towards each other unconsciously as their noses slowly touched. Their lips also came forward more to each other and few seconds later, their lips were just few inches apart…
Their lips were about to meet when a sudden ringing brought them out of their trance. They jumped out from their positions as it was extremely close where Veronica was almost sitting on Reuben's lap.
Reuben quickly took out his phone which disturbed their sweet moment and cut it off. Both of them sat there awkwardly looking here and there, not knowing what to do..
This silence continued for few more minutes. Then finally Veronica decided to break it when she remembered something very important.
”Uhmm.. Reuben..” Veronica called his name in an extremely low voice.
”Yeah?” Reuben asked glancing at her.
”I have something really important to inform you which I absolutely forgot to tell you before because of all this fiasco..” Veronica said.
”Okay.. What is it?” Reuben asked patiently.
Veronica fidgeted with her fingers and narrated, ”Actually, there is a mandatory project for the top students of our college. They have to visit different branches of our college to promote our multimedia work and to teach our fellow friends about new softwares and their techniques..
As you know I'm the topper in our batch so I've to be a part of this project also. So I'm leaving for city B two weeks later as my campaign has been scheduled there. Willa and Louis are also a part of it but they are visiting different cities..”
Like this Veronica told him about everything like she was going to leave there alone like a normal middle class girl in an small apartment without any security..
Reuben was trying to gulp all the informations at first very calmly but when each and every words penetrated in his mind properly he freaked out..
”What!! You're leaving for city B two weeks later and you're telling me now? Most importantly, you're going to leave there alone without your parents or any familiar person...
Vero.. Don't forget that City B is going to be completely new for you. You just can't stay there alone like that. I mean if you want to stay like normal girl in a small apartment...that's completely okay…
I approve your wish but that doesn't mean that I'll allow you to stay there without any bodyguards following you. Your safety is the most important matter for me and I won't let you play with it..” Reuben told her or more like ordered her.
”Oh!! Come on Reuben.. I'm not a kid anymore. I can take care of myself properly. You don't have to worry about me as you know that I'm already a member of Secret 7 and I had learnt different kind of martial arts, boxing and many other fighting techniques..” Veronica said while pouting.
Her cuteness again worked on Reuben as he ran his hand through his hair frustratingly and said, ”Fine.. Do whatever you want. But I want you back here safe and sound..”
”Okay promise..” Veronica giggled and jumped on Reuben in excitement.
