Sour Romance [ON HOLD]

Chapter 11

"Where is he?" Veronica thought as she looked around the empty underground parking lot of her apartment building.

Cling cling

She heard a sound coming from behind the pillar and her anxiousness grew.

What was that?

Suddenly, her mouth was clamped shut and the only thing she remembered were those familiar green orbs staring down at her before she surrendered to the darkness.

"ARGH" Veronica groaned as she sat up quickly flailing her arms around as someone had thrown water on her. She heard a deep chuckle and turned to see Diego staring back at her with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Then it all came back crashing in her head with full force, together with a slight headache.

Diego had kidnapped her. 

"What is this!  are you crazy, what are we doing here." Veronica said looking around the small wooden cabin.

Diego didn't say anything but just got up from where he was sitting and went outside to what looked like a balcony.

"Wait. I'm not done yet-" Veronica's words got caught in her throat as she caught sight of the simple but yet beautiful dinner he had set up for them.

"Whoa". 

"

Y-you did this for me? "

He gave her a goofy smile.

"Nope. I did it for us" He said emphasizing on us. 

"My lady" he said pulling the chair out for her and she sat down with a flushed and completely stunned face.

"What is it. You don't like it? " Diego asked with a slight frown and Veronica's eyes widened.

"N-no, no. Its just-, this. I- you. No one ever did this" she said looking around the place, and definitely not by kidnapping me.

"What? You thought I'll take you to a fancy restaurant with expensive menu. Is that really what you want?" Diego asked through gritted teeth.

Veronica's eyes widened. "N-no no that's not what I meant. I mean. This is the first time someone thought of setting up a dinner for us.  Its so special to me and I love it. "

Diego's expression softened as he looked at her.

"Wine? " he asked with a smile and Veronica nodded, returning his smile.

"What am I getting myself into? " Diego thought as he stared at the beauty in front of him.

Could I ever hurt her?

Sofia gasped when she heard what he said and looked at his eyes, searching for any hint of lies or dishonesty.
