Chapter : 26 : Desperate Heather

"Well, hello Mr. And Mrs. Sawyer.."

Veronica glances away from the smiling blonde. Veronica's parents chuckle at the welcoming greet.

"I never expected it to be Veronica's classmate! Hello, dear..!"

Chandler grins with a small chuckle in response, letting Veronica and her parents inside, closing the door as soon as they entered. I never expected it to be Veronica as well.. Chandler confidently smiles to herself as she heads to the dining area, sitting next to her parents, just across from Veronica.

Their parents chatter and laugh as they ate. Veronica tries to ignore Chandler's stare while trying to eat her food.

"Your daughter seems to be a quiet one"

Veronica perks up at Chandler's mother mentioning her while her own mother laughs in response, making her slightly embarrassed.

"Veronica's just shy. She's usually loud at our place! She keeps shouting at bugs that crawl in her room"

Veronica flushes in embarrassment, hearing a snicker from Chandler while their parents laugh as they continue to chatter.

--- Kitchen

"Look! A roach!"

Chandler points at the floor near Veronica's feet to successfully scare her. Veronica lifts her feet halfway, jumping in terror with a tiny yelp coming out of her mouth, immediately glaring at the laughing blonde as soon as she sees there's no bug.

"Yeah. Very funny"

Veronica flushes in embarrassment while glaring at the laughing blonde. Veronica rolls her eyes, grabbing her phone from her pocket, to skip time until she hears her parents chuckling in the living room with a strong fruity scent.

Veronica turns her head to the kitchen doorway when she heard a pop and a fiz, followed by a yelp from her mother and a laugh. Chandler rests her forearm on Veronica's shoulder with a smirk plastered on her face.

"I guess you'll be staying for the night~"

Chandler lowly chuckles while Veronica's irritation slowly grew, she doesn't make eye contact with the blonde but only stares at her phone.

"I can just drive them home.."

Chandler's arm gets shoved away by the brunette, causing the blonde to pout and cross her arms.

"But you didn't bring your driver's licence. You could get pulled over.."

Why is she desperate?.. Veronica thought, turning her attention towards Chandler.

"How would you know? How are you sure that I didn't bring my driver's license?.."

Chandler raises a brow. Well.. She's not wrong... But I'll die if I stay!.. Veronica thought.

"Veronica. Your parents didn't bring anything other than keys.."

Veronica tries to deny it by responding.

"My license could be in the car!"

Chandler sighs, uncrossing her arms, letting them fall to her sides, blankly staring at Veronica who turns her attention to her phone again.

"If you don't wanna hang out with me.. Just say it. What's even stopping you from doing so?.."

It's the fact that your my ex.. Veronica states in her mind. She doesn't respond to the blonde who wrapped her arms around the brunette's neck, leaning in to whisper in the brunette's ear.
