LOVELY ENEMIES

Chapter 27

Veronica POV
I looked at my wristwatch, oh my God, It's late already, I need to go home.
Betty, I think I'll have to leave.

So soon, the party isn't over.

It's late, I don't want Daniel to get too worried.

Okay, fine, but I won't let you leave alone. Mark, can you help drop her at home.

Sure, it will be my pleasure.

Fine, let's go I can't spend another minute here.

Text me when you get home, she smirked at me.

Whatever, I said and walked away.

We walked out of the party, he led me to where his car was parked. He opened the door for me to go in, I went in, he shut the door and entered the driver's seat, starts the car, and drove off.
The ride was silent, I was getting bored.

You must love your fiance? he said breaking the silence.

Yes.

I observed.

So tell me, how did the two of you meet.

It's a long story, but to cut it short, he was my dad's bodyguard.

Wow, I've heard stories of ladies falling in love with their bodyguards, now I've seen it for real, he smiled.

So funny, I said.

Not really, but it's kind of crazy.

Well, our heart doesn't tell who it will fall for, it can choose anyone.

You're right.

You know what, I don't feel like going home again.

Why?.

I came out to enjoy myself and to get some shit out of my head, I don't think I've done that. Do you know any nice Bar we can go to?

Yes, I'll take you to one of my favorites.

What are you waiting for let's go?

Daniel POV
We waited patiently for the doctor to walk out of the emergency room, I kept walking around in fear, what if she didn't survive this I thought. Why can't she forget about me, why does she keeps trying to take her life.

Big Brother, come seat for a while, you've been walking around without stopping. I know you are worried about her safety, don't worry she'll get through this.

I won't forgive myself if anything happens to her.

Do you love her?.

I felt weak as she threw that question at me, I didn't know what to say.

You don't have to answer, I already know the answer, you are in love with her, if you love her why are you together with her stepsister.

In your dream is, I don't love her, I bluntly said.

Why do you keep denying it when the answer is written all over your face?

I said I don't love her, can't you get it, I yelled out

Fine, fine You don't love her, why   do you keep her caged up

To punish her.

I don't think so, it's because you can bear to let her go or see her with another man. After all, you feel something for her.

How many times do I have to repeat myself,  I don't feel anything for her, please can you stop pushing it.

Prove it then.
