"It better be something important otherwise I'm going to kill the person who tried to disturb us in our romantic moment." Reuben muttered as he wore his track pant grudgingly.
Veronica laughed out land at his statement and wore her top that she kept on the chair over her bra, before punching his chest playfully..
"Go and take a bath. I'm going to see who is there at the door." Veronica said.
Reuben nodded while sulking and went to their bedroom for a bath but didn't forget to comment, "If you see any unimportant person there ringing the bell for some stupid reason, then don't forget to kick his ass for me to ruin our s.e.xy moment."
Shaking her head, Veronica chuckled and went to see who was the person to visit them so early in the morning.
Though it was already 9 am but still it was a Sunday which means that everyone must be taking rest today.
As soon as she opened the door, a shrill voice entered her ear, "What took you so long, Niccy? I was waiting for you to open the door for so long.."
Yeah...
It was Lucinda who was shouting at Veronica after she got to see her best friend's face. But she was not alone. Her dear boyfriend and soon to be fiance Henry was also standing beside her at the doorway.
Veronica rolled her eyes at her bestie and said, "Don't shout and just come inside. I was busy in gym so it took some time for me to open the door."
Lucinda entered their house and Henry gave Veronica a side hug before greeting her, "Good morning sis."
"Morning bro. Let's go inside otherwise your girlfriend will kill me for holding her boyfriend up at the door." Veronica joked whereas Henry chuckled.
Henry and Veronica went inside after locking the door properly as Henry sat beside Lucinda who was puffing her cheeks in anger.
Veronica smiled and took the seat opposite them before asking, "So what bring you both here and what is in your hand Henry?"
Henry looked at the plastic bags in his hand said, "Oh!! I just bought some breakfast for everyone as I knew that you wouldn't have your breakfast still as it is Sunday. I actually thought you both hadn't woke up yet but seems like there is a change of plans for you guys..."
Veronica looked inside the carry bag and squealed in joy, "Oh my god! You bought my favourite sandwich and pastries along with coffee. Thank you so much bro. And about your assumption, we forgot to switch off the alarm today so when it rang we thought let's just wake up today and have an early gym session."
Henry nodded and asked, "By the way where is Reuben?"
"Oh! He just went to take a shower. Would be coming soon."
Before she could finish saying, she saw Reuben's figure descending from the stairs as he said, "I am already here."
Henry looked at him and got up as both of them had a bro hug before Reuben kissed the top of Lucinda's head and she smiled at him.
"What are you both doing here so early in the morning? Aren't you supposed to be spending your quality time on the bed right now?" Reuben said in a teasing tone which made Lucinda blush hard.
Henry laughed and said, "You are right bro. We should have spent some time on our bed doing a hefty amount of special exercise but your sister Lucy had some other plans."
"And what is the plan? I agree with everything except the shopping plan.." Veronica interrupted, feeling exhausted after reminiscing the previous day's shopping memory where she got extremely bored.
Lucinda smiled sheepishly and gave Veronica a pleading look, "Actually Niccy... As you know that my engagement is in four days and I don't have any beautiful dress to wear on that day, so I thought of asking you for going on a shopping today with me."
Veronica's eyes widened in horror as she heard the words 'shopping' from Lucinda's mouth and shrieked, "No way Lucy... You already had bought loads of dresses yesterday. Choose something from there for your engagement."
The boys laughed at Veronica's terrified expression as Henry said, "You are really the first girl Vero who doesn't like shopping. And Reuben is very lucky about it."
"Well, that I am.." Reuben said with utter pride.
Lucinda ignored the boys and made a puppy eyes before requesting, "Please, my cute bestie... Just think about me. It is going to be one big day of my life and I don't want to look ugly on that particular day for which I need a beautiful dress."
Veronica sighed at Lucinda as she was also right that engagement day comes only for once in every girl's life so it need to be very special...
But she didn't like the idea of shopping at all as it was also a big torturing thing for her. She mourned over the fact that today was going to ruin but she had no option other than helping her friend for one of her most important day.
But her thought took a break when suddenly an awesome idea hit her mind. She looked excitedly with her brown eyes and said, "How about I ask my dad to help us in this..??"
Each and everyone were now confused by Veronica's words when Reuben asked, "Honey.. What do you mean? How can Dad help you in selecting dresses?"
Veronica slapped on his head lightly before exclaiming, "Did you guys forget that Dad had appointed a new fashion designer for his upcoming new project?? So now it's time to see here designing skills...
I would ask Dad today itself to see if she could be available for designing your dress. As she is also the head of the designing department, she might have some important work. So let's ask her first before taking any decision."
Lucinda jumped in joy and hugged Veronica immediately as she said, "You are really the best Niccy. That's why I loved
you the most as you could solve any problem of mine like a true magician..."
