You and only you

Chapter 10

Dan's POV:

Veronica and I stood outside of the hospital waiting for a cab. I stare at the road expressionless. I don't even know what to say. What to think. What to do. I can feel Veronica looking at me and for the first time, I don't want to look at her. It's not her fault. It was Phil's. I continue to stare at the road as I grab her hand. I don't want her to feel like this is her fault. I finally force my head up and I look over at her and smile.

The cab finally arrives and we hop in. The ride home is quiet. I realize I'm still holding her hand. I don't let go I just grip her hand harder. We continue to hold hands the whole way back.

We finally get back to Veronica's flat. I pay the driver and help Veronica out. We climb up the stairs and she opens the door. We walk in and Veronica goes and sits on the couch as I walk into the kitchen to get us some juice. When I walk out she has her face buried in her hands.

I set down the cups of juice down and sit down next to her. "Babe what's wrong?" I can hear her crying. She removes her head from her hands and looks at me. Her mascara in streaming down her face.

"This is all my fault!" She cries. "Phil wouldn't have kicked you out if I hadn't been there! I fucked everything up!" She looks down at her lap and continues to cry. I lift her head up and I look into her eyes. Tears continue to run down her cheeks but I wipe them away. "Hey, don't ever say that this is your fault! You didn't fuck up anything! I wanted you there with me. Phil was the one being the jerk. Babe, you did nothing wrong now I don't want you to ever say that again. Okay?"

She wipes her tear away, and meets my gaze. "Okay. I'm sorry I got so upset. I just...I know how much you care about him and he kicked you out because I was there and I felt like I had done something wrong." I see her eyes start to water again, "Hey don't cry. It's ok. I will love you no matter what Phil or anyone thinks." I grab her hand and lean in and kiss her.

I let go of her hands and grip her face bring her deeper into the kiss. I feel her tongue slip between my lips as she puts her warm hands on my neck. I pull her closer to me, feeling her warm body pressing against mine. I reach under her shirt and yank it off over her head. I break away for a moment as he pulls my shirt off.

I lay on my back and Veronica gets on top of me. I grab her neck and continue to kiss her passionately. I hear her mumbling but I can't understand, "What?" She removes her lips from mine and repeats,"We should move to the bedroom." She looks down at me and smiles.
"I couldn't have thought of a better idea." I smile back at her as she gets up, grabs my hand and takes me into our bedroom.

She pulls me in front of her and pushes me onto the fluffy bed. I lay facing the ceiling laughing. She climbs on top of me and stares down at me and smiles. "I love you." She laughs, "And I love you." She leans down and begins to kiss me again. I put my hands on her waist.

Her tongue slip between my lips again. I smile. This is nice, I think. We flip so I'm now on top of her. I feel her take her lips away from mine. "How about we get something to eat and finish this later?" She looks up at me with her big blue eyes. I smile, "Ya that sounds good."
