Chapter 431 - Only yours for lifetime...

"So it's the last date night of us as a girlfriend and boyfriend, right? After all, from tomorrow on we're going to be married and I'll be known as your wife, Mrs. Veronica Reuben Smith.." Veronica muttered in a low voice but enough to be heard by her beloved.

Reuben nodded his head and replied, "Yes darling, from tomorrow onwards , you'll be my wife, Mrs. Smith. And I'm your husband, only yours for lifetime."

Veronica smiled at him and said playfully, "So what are we waiting for? Let's start eating to celebrate the last day of our bachelorhood."

Chuckling at her, Reuben nodded and served her food.

He was about to serve his own food in a different plate when Veronica interrupted him, "Don't Bennie. Let's share it today for the last time as an unmarried couple.."

Reuben nodded his head smilingly as both of them had their dinner peacefully, feeding each other while having some talks.

----

After the dinner was done, they started walking through the garden hand in hand, feeling the low breeze caressing their faces.

They were completely silent as if they were trying to savour the last bit of their time before entering into the married life.

Few minutes later, the alarm of Reuben's phone rang up which broke the silent yet comfortable silence between them.

"What happened Bennie? Why did you set an alarm?" Veronica asked confusedly.

Reuben cheekily smiled at her and without replying, he just kneeled down on the ground holding Veronica's hands.

Veronica stared at him in puzzlement and asked, "Bennie, what are you doing?"

"Nothing much Ica. Just celebrating the very special day of our life." Reuben replied beamingly.

Veronica too gave him a bright smile, already guessing what was about to come and as expected Reuben took out something from his pocket.

"Love.. As I've already said it to you countless of times that you're the bestest thing which ever happened to me. I love you so much that I can not even think of leaving without you for a single second...

You're my sunshine, my moonlight, my everything. You lighten up my life with your beautiful smile. I have always been in love with you, maybe from the time I've first saw you in diapers." Reuben joked at the last sentence making her too laugh with him.

Chuckling at her, he again started to speak, "Honestly, I was very much afraid to tell you about my actual feelings at first.

But when I finally got courage to profess my love to you, that day changed the purpose of my whole life. You accepted my love wholeheartedly, making me the happiest man of the world...

Thereafter, started the journey of our love life. We became so much accustomed to each other that we became completely inseparable. Like this, five years have already passed without us knowing...

And these five years are the best days of our lives. Thanks Ica for choosing me over everyone and being with me always. I love you baby."

Tears started to drop from her eyes but her eyes was filled with love for the man who had own her heart.

Reuben got up from the ground and wiped off her tears from her cheeks.

Veronica just kept staring at him lovingly as she whispered, "I love you too darling. The most in the world."

Sometimes words were not needed to describe your feelings because eyes were enough to do the job for you...

Right now, Veronica and Reuben's situation was the same. Veronica had many things to say to Reuben in her heart but she hadn't any words to describe it.

So she just kept quiet and let her eyes speak about the volume and depth of her love which Reuben easily read through without having any kind of difficulties...

Reuben then handed her the gift box and asked her to open it.

As soon as Veronica opened the lid, she got mesmerized by the beauty of the gift.

It was a pair of beautiful diamond earrings which was sparkling like the stars in the night sky.

Caressing the earrings with her fingers, Veronica said to Reuben, "Bennie, You didn't need to.."

But before she could complete, Reuben cut off her in middle as he asked her, "Ica, do you remember the day we went with our mothers to the jewellery shop to discuss about the designs of your wedding jewelleries?"

Veronica thought for a while and then replied, "Yes.. I do remember that day. I selected each and every jewellery designs for the wedding on that day...

But when I was about to choose the perfect design for the earrings to match with the necklace, you refrained me from doing so."

"Yeah love, you're right. I stopped you from selecting the design because I wanted to gift it to you today..

So Ms. Veronica Lopez, your soon to be husband want you to wear this beautiful pair of earrings tomorrow at the wedding." Reuben said.

Veronica was not at all ready to drop the smile from her lips which was the result of Reuben's love for her.

Smiling beautifully at him, Veronica said, "I would love to wear this beautiful earrings tomorrow darling."

Saying this, Veronica encircled her hands around Reuben's neck and inched her face closer to him.

Reuben too wrapped his one hand around her waist and placed the other one on her cheeks and touched his nose with her.

Soon the thin proximity between them closed as both of their lips touched, sending shivers down their spines.

The kiss was soft and gentle, pouring their love in that kiss..

Reuben softly nibbled her lips, urging her to open her mouth which Veronica obliged really easily.

Their tongues matched as they covered each and every corner of their mouth.

A minute later, they finally broke the kiss and joined their foreheads together as they tried to calm themselves down by breathing heavily.

Veronica stared at Reuben's beautiful grey orbs and whispered on his lips softly, "I too have a surprise waiting for you, love."
