Remember Me, Darling

Remember Me, Darling (11)

Chapter 11

*Veronica POV*

It's been a few weeks since I talked to Van. I'm just trying to figure things out.. I mean, I like Frank. I like him a lot actually, but some part of me still held on to Van. Like a little piece was missing.. I've never gone this long without talking to Van. I'm kind of scared. I know it's for the better. He doesn't want to talk about it just as much as I do either. I understand. But I really do miss him.

Frank came over tonight, just hanging out. He came in casual attire, thank god. Every time I've seen him so far, he's been in a suit! But now he was in sweats, t-shirt, and tennis shoes. Actually, Frank and I's "relationship" is going good! We haven't really made it official though, and the paps haven't found us either. We're both pretty happy for that. Anyways, we sat down on my big couch on the living room and turned on the flat screen and guess what was on? LION KING. Frank and I watched the movie together, we even sang along to "Hakuna Matata"! That got me thinking..

"Baby, are you ok?"

"Hm? Yeah, I'm fine."

"I don't believe you, Veronica."

"What?"

"I can see it in your eyes."

"God damn, Frank. Is there anything you can't see?"

"Not usually."

"Well, it's just.. Van. Him and I haven't talked since that little...incident. You know how close him and I were and well.. I don't know. I'm just confused."

I decided to leave out the part about our "sharing of feelings".

"Why don't you go talk to him? Settle things a bit. It might help you, darling."

"Uh, I don't know."

"Veronica, you're going to talk to him."

"Whyyyyyyyy"

"Because if you don't, I'm going to kiss you!"

"Oh, GROSS. Ok, I'll talk to him."

"Thank you. But I'm going to kiss you anyway."

"Once for taking my advice," He gave me a soft peck on the lips, "and another for being the wonderful woman you are." Then he kissed me with such force. It was a deep and passionate kiss. Like it came from deep down in both our hearts.

I fell asleep in his arms that night. He made me feel safe. Like nothing else in the world mattered.

We woke up around 8:30 the next morning. I was still wrapped in his arms and he had his head rested upon mine. We fell asleep during the movie so the TV was still on. It looked like Big Bang Theory re-runs were on. I loved this show. I didn't want to be up alone so I figured I'd wake Frank up.

"Darling, wake up."

"Hmmm.."

"Frank, baby, c'mon."

"Hmm, I'm up"

"You aren't up until I see your eyes open."

Then he opened his eyes. His wonderfully blue eyes. We looked at each other for a bit before he leaned his head down to kiss me. We layed in bed for a few minutes more because we were too lazy to get up.

"Veronica, do you know what tomorrow is?"

"Sunday?"

He laughed at that.

"No, darling. It's the date that we've been seeing each other for exactly a month."

"Oh, right! Sorry, I should've known that.."
