The world beyond me

"How odd that i was so engrossed in my own depression in my own sadness that i never looked at you and wondered that you may also have problems you may also hold a past and you may also hold your fair share of unhappiness. But you never said anything and i never asked, how selfish of me."

  Veronica's POV:-

"Yeah sure i'll go. The same place as before right" replying i waited for his reply but didn't hear a single word for a moment.

"Are you sure....i mean really? should i pick you up" he replied after a few moments.

"Yes Eric i am sure, that is if you're going to drop me back home and not kidnap me"

"Well anything can happen you know. I don't make such promises" he teased me.

"I am sure Care would murder you the moment she finds out"

"I know for sure she would do that, lately she's just all weird especially after your wedding" he said sighing at the other end.

"Something is bothering her because she never acts like that." I replied to him. She told me how Eric yelled at her for making me wear that dress at the club. He was being unreasonable at that moment because Eric of all people knows that i can handle anything. I guess all men are like that, seeing as Aaron got angry at me for the same reason.

"You know what i'll pick you up in 20 and we'll talk then. Alright?"

"Yeah sure but don't make me wait, i hate it" he asked me if i would like to go have coffee with him, just me and him because Caroline has a huge thanksgiving dinner at her house and Ashley and Lindsey were spending the day wit their father and some family friends for thanksgiving.

I know why he was shocked when i said i'd go because i straight out refuse whenever they ask me to hangout with them. But i felt like i needed to get out of the house for once.

Eric being away from his parents, had nothing to do and the girls were busy, so he called me. My heart wells up for him whenever i think how much he misses his family and of all people, Freya. Quick note; I would take him out for lunch today and later his coffee plan.

Last night Aaron slept in my bed and i slept beside him. The next morning that is today, i was practically in a mangled form with him. My head on his chest his arms wrapped around me, my legs wrapped around his. I fit in his arms completely like we were to pieces of a puzzle joined together to make one.

When i woke up the first thing i saw was his green eyes staring in mine, intensely.

"Good morning" i thought it was a dream when his lips lifted in a smile. It made me feel like all the pain and all the hopelessness had withered away, it was very rare when i saw him smile, especially after the wedding. His face is always a scowl or a frown  and when he finds things amusing he has that low chuckle or a smirk, But rarely a perfect smile.

He smiled and all i could think was "Oh Shit"

"Morning" i said untangling myself from him and sat up on the bed i just hope he didn't see the heat rising on my face, he followed and got up and off the bed, it was hard to not miss the warmth of his body and his hands wrapped around me. I could see the disappointment in his eyes that i am sure was in mine too.

"I should go." He said but made no move to go out, standing there he  just stared at me, looking unsure.

"Do you want me to make you some breakfast because you probably didn't eat last night" he was going on dinner with Allison so it was kind of a peace offering from me, i guess. i was guilty he didn't eat cause of me.
