My New Roommate (Short story)

1.2

2 weeks later

Veronica and I were at the park because there's going to have a firework sneak peak for the year 2017. We are sitting on a bench eating because it's still early. The day my sister confess about my past and veronica being my best friend it's become official. We are now 2 weeks dating and now I can see why me and Veronica are best friends.

We love swimming, eating.. We are both adventurous and we do crazy stuff like pretending to be a mannequin at the mall, asking strangers to marry us, pretending to be blind together and all you can think of crazy.

"I've never thought that I'll find you" veronica said. Her head is leaning on my shoulder while we watch the sunset. "Our heart leads us to each other." She chuckle. That's quite a little corny for me to say that shit.

"I love you so much, Felix" with her words a smile find its way to my face. "Veronica..." I started off. She look at me with a confused look.

"I never thought that I'll be change.. That I can change" I look down at my hands and sigh. I know mom wouldn't want us together, but I don't care. She don't tell me what to do, I'm not a kid who follows what mama want me to do.

"Tomorrow morning. We'll leave and I want us to meet my parents." Her eyes widened in shocked. There are fear in her eyes with a mix of worries and I know why. I caught her cheeks with my hands "you know I can't." She said. I shooked my head and kiss her forehead letting her know that I won't let anything bad happen to her.

"Yes you can and you will." She removed my hands on her cheeks and look away. "She don't want me for you and you know that."

Here we are again. Every time I tell her that I want us to have dinner with my parent's she always reject me. I'm tired of being rejected by her, I want us to be okay, I want us to live with no 'what ifs', I want to tell my parents especially mom that this is the girl that I one and only see in my future with my kids.

I run my hands trough my hair and let out a frustrating sigh. "And you know that I don't fucking care. Why don't you just agree for atleast mom knows even if she don't want you." She kept quiet and its makes me crazy! What is she thinking?! Is she going to break up with me? Or what? No, it can't. Not now.

"You're going with me and that's an order." She snapped her head towards me with furrowed eyes. I removed my gaze on her and look straight where the mens are setting up the fireworks. "Whatever." And that's a yes. She never turn me down. I love this girl.

A moment later she decided to buy some drinks I told her that I will go with her but she refused and said save the sits to us. She's right we have to make a good view right. At the time she left my phone rings and it's Scarlet

"Hey, scar." I greeted I wonder what make her to call. "Felix.." She call, her voice sounds like she murder someone and didn't mean it. "You okay, scar?" I asked I'm getting worried. What is the matter?

"I didn't know how and I didn't know when but.." What's with all the cut offs? She's making me damn nervous. "But what? Spit it, scar" I said in a hard voice. What the fuck us wrong? Why is she sounds so nervous?

"Felix she knows" I don't get her? What does she mean 'she knows?' Who? Veronica? No not her. Who? "What do you mean?" It took minutes before she answer.

"Mom.. Mom knows and she is so so freaking mad at me and dad. She said this is all planned that we planned it for you and veronica and she wants us to fly back to Australia as soon as possible. After you graduate, please don't run this time" how did she know? And hell I won't run this time. And if I do, I'll take veronica with me. But the real question is how did she knows?

"I won't. Not anymore. Tell mom, me and veronica will go there tomorrow." She was shocked at me I can say because she didn't response that fast but then she recover. "You're kidding. My little brother learn how to grow a balls! Man, I'm in tears" and she still gets to insult me. Wow. This is the reason I hate being the little brother.

"Stop being so sweet, scar. I know I know." She chuckled and I smirk. Then veronica popped in front of me holding a can of coke and a bag of chips. She sit beside me and gave me a 'who is that' look. "Gotta go." Then I hung up.

I won't tell about what scar told me to Veronica. I don't want her to over think about it, I want her to think that it'll be alright. Because I'm now here. And I don't have any any reasons to leave her.

"Who's that?" She ask and handed me the coke. "It's scar" truth.

"Why did she call?" She asked. "To ask if we're okay." Lie. I smiled at her and she does smile back. I hope she believe me. "But you look so frustrated when both of you are talking" okay. Shut her down. No more questions, no more answers.

"She's just annoying. Nothing special" I replied in a cold stone voice. Not wanting for her to ask more. She just nodded and ate the Chips she bought.

The fireworks started and it was so colorful and beautiful at the same time. But what scar told me earlier leave me thinking. Am I doing it right? Do I really have to do it? I love veronica and I don't want to lose her. I will risk everything, just for her.

I look at veronica who have a wide smile on her face while watching the fireworks.

I like to watch her more than the fireworks. She's the most perfect woman I've ever see, with all her flaws and bad attitude. I love every inch of her. Every inch of her that's mine.

I didn't notice that she's looking back at me with a smile. Damn, I love her so fucking much. "Thank you" she said.

"For what?"

"For trusting." I smile at her and kiss her head. "Thank you" I said repeating her. "For what?"

"For making me see, how beautiful the life was and for being a huge part of my life. I can't even imagine how my life will end without you." I hug her tight. Smelling her wonderful scent.

"Promise me something" I whisper on her ear. "What?"

"You'll wait."

"Huh?"

"Just promise it." She take a deep breath before saying it.

"I promise."
