Chapter 246 - Pick me up...

Still he wanted to confirm it from Cole so he asked, "Are you coming alone or bringing Regina with you?"

Cole knew that Alonzo didn't like Regina at all but still their parents were forcing them to get engaged which Cole himself didn't want because he thought that his sister Regina was not good enough for Alonzo...

Though Regina was his own sister but Alonzo was his brother too. And he could never deny the truth that Regina was nothing but an egoistic spoiled brat who didn't know how to respect other people.

According to him, his friend Alonzo deserved someone better who would cherish his love and take care of him whole heartedly which Regina certainly could not do..

Sighing deeply, Cole replied, "Yeah.. She will also be coming with me. But you don't need to give her any attention...

She will definitely nag to me about you but rest assured, I'll handle her. I don't want her to create trouble for you."

"Thanks Cole. It means a lot." Alonzo said.

"Come on Buddy. We're friends. You don't have to say thanks for these small things." Cole said.

Alonzo smiled and asked, "By the way, when are you coming and where you will stay?"

"My flight will land around 9 am and about staying, I'll be checking in a hotel." Cole said.

"That's not needed. Just come to my apartment." Alonzo suggested.

Cole smiled at his friend and said, "I know you want my wellbeing. But I can't stay with you bro...

You know that my sister will also be there. And her presence means brewing trouble over your head intentionally which I don't want."

Alonzo understand what he was saying and that's why, he didn't force on Cole's decision anymore, as he also would be uncomfortable around that Regina whom he despised with all of his heart...

So he agreed and said, "Okay. I'll then send either my driver or Bill to pick you up."

"Yeah... That will be great." Cole replied.

Next morning...

Love-Paradise…

Veronica was still sleeping when her phone rang. She ignored it at first as she wanted to sleep more because Reuben didn't allow her to sleep till dawn and continued their love making which left her all exhausted..

But the stupid phone was not listening to her prayers at all and kept ringing over and over...

Getting irritated, Veronica finally picked up her phone and without checking who was the caller, she just answered the call, "Hello.."

Veronica's voice was still groggy because her sleep wasn't enough for her yet and she wanted to sleep more which made the other person misunderstood her tone of voice as if it was filled with a little bit annoyance..

"Good morning Vero. Sorry that I disturbed you in your sleep. I didn't expect that you hadn't wake up yet." Myra's beautiful morning voice rang in Veronica's ears as she thought why she had suddenly called her.

Giving a big yawn, she sat up on the bed resting her head on the headrest and said after clearing her throat to make it sound more presentable, "No no.. You didn't disturb me. Though I was sleeping but thanks to you that I woke up at time otherwise I'd be late for office."

She said the last sentence checking the time on Reuben's phone which was on the bedside table...

Myra felt relieved after hearing that she at least didn't made her angry and said, "Actually Vero...I was thinking if we could meet one day when you and others get time. I need to clear some things between us."

Veronica furrowed her brows and was about to answer back when Reuben stirred a little in his sleep which made Veronica a little bit conscious so she patted his head to get him back to sleep which had gladly worked as always..

As Veronica was busy with Reuben, she couldn't talk which made Myra think that Veronica might not want to meet her after her confrontation with Alonzo.

So she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry Vero for whatever happened. I didn't know…"

Her sentence was cut off midway by Veronica when she got the idea that Myra was misunderstanding her silence as something else.

"Oh Myra!! You're misinterpreting things. You don't have to be sorry for anything which happened between your brother and me. It's not your fault. You weren't even aware of anything.

So for your happiness, let's meet on Saturday morning at Lucy's coffee shop at 10.. We'll talk there properly." Veronica said.

Myra heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Thanks Vero."

"No.. it's completely okay. I don't judge people on other's behavior. However, do I have to inform Lucy and Willa about it?" Veronica asked, suppressing a yawn.

"It would be helpful if you inform Willa and I'll talk to Lucy personally." Myra said smilingly.

"Okay then... Bye... I have office." Veronica said with a smile.

"Yeah bye. Let's gang up on Saturday." Myra joked making both of the girls giggle hard.

As soon as Veronica hang up the call, a hoarse manly voice asked, "Who was it?"

Veronica looked down at Reuben who was staring back at her with sleepy eyes and said, "It was Myra. She wants to meet with us, girls.. Maybe because she thought that we'll blame her for the past."

Reuben encircled his hands around Veronica's waist and placed his head on her lap before saying, "She is good by heart. Not at all like that idiot brother of hers."

Veronica chuckled and said while running her fingers through his hair, "Well... That I have to agree with you about Alonzo being a complete idiot."

Reuben also laughed with her and got up from the bed before saying, "Lets take a shower together."

Smirking at him, Veronica stretched both of her hands towards Reuben and said, "Pick me up then."

Shaking his head at his naughty girlfriend, Reuben picked Veronica up in his arms and headed inside the washroom with a smile plastering on both of their lips...
