I've switched some titles in a weird way. I do apologise if it seems oddly inconsistent..
"Have a jolly good day, dearest Vero." John imitated a posh accent, bowing lightly. Veronika smiled at the new nickname then waving at him. "You too-- I'm sorry for the umbrella breaking, again." She spoke up as he was just turning around to leave.
John turned his body towards her with a cool tone. "You don't need to keep apologising, it's alright."
"You must have been a bit uncomfortable.." She muttered, voice small compared to the rain that still beat upon the concrete around them. "But if you're uncomfortable, be uncomfortable. You've heard that before, yeah?" He went to put his hands in his pocket but stopped midway into the action. "No, I haven't.. But I guess it makes sense."
She smiled once more, looking around. "Well, I better head inside before my mum comes out with a pan and cracks me one." John nodded. "You've been a proper gentleman despite my previous expectations."
"Well, I know how to behave. I've had lessons." A smirk curved on his face, "Oh, I believe it." He lift his head up less than an inch, eyes squinting a little with a slight curl of a smile on his face. A loud burst of thunder broke the awkward interaction, the two remembered it was still violently pouring. "Well, I'm off. Good day, Veroni." He chuckled, trotting away ever so carelessly, in such a rush for that matter.
After he left her field of vision she scrambled a little and ran after him. "Hey, wait! John!" They girl found herself slipping a little as she went after but once she had gotten past the brick wall of her home he was gone. "This was a good night, thank you.." She whispered to herself, turning away in a disappointed attitude, swaying her arms to and fro.
She pondered the options of sneaking into her house without being detected. "Maybe.." She held onto the front door knob. "They're asleep.." Bee was no longer perching herself by the window in view of her, Veronika looking to the side with the raining finally subsiding. Only the sounds of light pattering from the left over water on the trees remained afterwards. It gave her the temptation to stay outdoors but the feeling of wet clothing sticking to her body was to much for her to want to deal with.
Be uncomfortable
The words vibrated through her head quickly, Veronika looking at the gate to the back garden. "I suppose.." She thought for a moment, squinting in contemplation before shaking her head. "Can't risk getting sick.." She traversed back to the front door, rummaging through her damp bag to pull out a peculiar little key. Before pushing it into the key hole, she looked outside. It was drearily quiet outside. It didn't seem normal giving how loud it had been earlier. She pushed the door open as slowly and quietly as humanly possible, the creaking scaring her a bit. As she slipped through the door she was startled by her cat meowing immediately at her. "Oh- Bee.."
She set a hand on her chest, stepping forward and picking up the ball of fluff. "You'll get me in trouble you fiend!" She whispered, walking up the stairs with little noise leaving her foot steps. Bee hoped out of her arms as Veronika headed into the bathroom. She shuddered in the cold, closing the bathroom door as she messed with her wet hair. She yawned, disrobing to simply plop herself into some hot water due to the cold she had been feeling for an hour or so. She started a hot bath, eyes wandering to herself in the mirror with disdain.
"How can you be so cocky.." Veronika muttered, tracing her finger lightly upon her collarbone, glaring a bit. "Forget it.." Her eyes turned away as she set herself comfortably in the tub, hot water flushing over her as her eyes closed peacefully. Minutes seemed to pass by before she had realised she fell asleep. The water was only a little warm by that time as she stepped out, wrapped a towel around herself and walking out of the bathroom, cloths still sprawled across the floor. She simply hadn't cared at that point, pushing the bedroom door open.
