Chapter 325 - Warm touch of his cold lips...

Reuben had no bounds for his happiness as he didn't waste his time anymore and engulfed Veronica in a tight hug before muttering sensuously in her ears, "I love you too Ica. Wait! I can call you Ica from now on, right?"

Veronica chuckled seeing his curiosity filled eyes and pretended to be thinking something, "Uhmmmm… Yeah, you can call me Ica but I have one condition.."

Reuben scrunched his eyebrows together and asked, "What kind of condition? I'm ready to fulfil your every wish."

Veronica arched her eyebrows playfully at him and asked, "Really?"

"Yup.. Really.." Reuben affirmed.

Giving him one of her brightest smile, Veronica replied, "Then… You have to let me call you by a nickname also."

Reuben sighed in relief and smiled at her before saying, "If you give me a nickname too…then I'll be the happiest person of the world. Now tell me what kind of nickname you have in your mind for me??"

Veronica observed his face very closely and said, "You know what? Just like you, I also had the urge to call you by a different name from others but never found the confidence to do so. Now that we're a couple, I don't have to think about anything...

So, I'll call you with the nickname 'Bennie' from now on.."

Reuben's face lit up in a beautiful smile when he heard his new name which was only available for his Ica and said, "I just loved it."

He then slipped his hand into his pocket and took out a long velvet box and handed it to Veronica, saying, "It's a gift for you. Open it.."

Veronica took the box in confusion from his hand. But the moment she opened it…she was awestruck with the beauty of the gift.

It was a simple gold plated pendant which had a beautiful design in the middle part of it. Small leaves made with diamonds were carved through gold branches. It was really simple but beautiful.

"This is so beautiful.." Veronica whispered eyeing the pendant.

Reuben smiled and said, "Not more beautiful than you, my love. But can you guess, what is the reason of me giving you such a simple pendant, leaving other extravagant ones…"

Veronica shook her head in denial, so Reuben narrated, "The leaves are the evidence of our pure love and the branches are our heart which is binding us together...

I want our love to travel through different kinds of emotions while experiencing all kind of burning feelings...so that it can always stay together like the leaves are bound with each other with the help of these thin brunches.."

The meaningful description of Reuben, made Veronica teared up again. She was really pleased with the thoughtfulness he had showed for her. 

She didn't say anything but just handed the pendant back to Reuben making him confused as he thought that she wasn't accepting his gift...

But his confusion got cleared and a bright smile lit on his lips when Veronica said, "As you're the one who had gifted me such a lovely pendant…then you'll be also the one who'll make me wear it.."

Reuben happily took the pendant from her hand while Veronica turned her back to him. He slowly with shivering hands placed the pendant around her neck, giving a soft kiss on her nape which made Veronica shiver a little with the warm touch of his cold lips..

After they sat there like this for a few more minutes, Reuben stood up from the ground and extended his hands to Veronica and said, "Get up.. I have another surprise planned for you.."

Keeping her right hand on his, Veronica got up and asked excitedly, "Another surprise??"

Reuben beamed at her and replied, "Yes.. The last one for tonight.."

Soon they reached another part of the cliff. Again Veronica got entranced with the beauty of the place...

There was big rounded couch placed there with white colour cushions coating them. A small round table was placed in the exact middle where few candles were lying on.

A big bowl kind of thing was kept on the table covering something and like before the whole place was decorated with candles and roses..

Reuben made her sit on the couch as he also took a place just beside her. He slowly removed the platter which revealed a extremely pretty cake...

The cake was of white colour on the most of the part with a tintvif pink. It was decorated with pink, orange and purple colour edible flower icing which were made by whipped cream. It was looking really beautiful.

Reuben handed Veronica a knife and gestured her to cut the cake.

Veronica smiled and put his hand over her as she mumbled, "We're going to cut the cake together in the name of the celebration of our new born relation."

Reuben gave her a smile and both of them cut the cake and fed each other. As soon as she took the first bite, she was enthralled with the taste as she never thought it would be a chocolate cake.

As the coating was of white colour with a little touch of pink, Veronica thought it to be a vanilla cake but she forgot that Reuben was well aware of her likes and dislikes..

So how could he not brought her a chocolate cake which would be always a weak point of her??

After they were done with eating, Veronica enwrapped her hand around Reuben's and laid her head on his shoulder as they kept watching the night life of the lit city from there...

"Thank You Bennie…for everything. It was the best day of my life." Veronica suddenly said.

Reuben held her chin and made her look up at him before saying, "Don't say like that, Ica. Because now that we're together, I'd try to make everyday of your life better than this.."

Veronica sweetly smiled at him and Reuben returned it back with a gentle one. Soon their eyes locked with each other in an intense battle..

Without any knowledge, their faces got really closed to each other, making Reuben cup her left cheek while placing his other hand on her waist...
