Chapter 19
"Take care, babe," Veronica said when she got out of the car.
Blake stared at her, "Babe?" he was confused.
"Yes, you kissed me, I kissed you back? It means we're now together, isn't it?" she smiled.
"Hmm, Veronica... about that...."
Veronica held his hands, "You don't know how much you made me happy, Blake. It was hard for me to hide my feelings for you that I even made myself busy. I thought I had no chance but here we are..." her voice was delighted and Blake was speechless and just smiled; a smile filled with artificial.
After taking Veronica home, Blake cursed himself for what he did, everything became more complicated for him. He parked the car in his garage and didn't know what to do next.
He was heading inside their home when he noticed Evangeline's window. The light was dim, only her lampshade was on. He sighed and he knew he hurt Evangeline.
The moment before he kissed Veronica, Blake feChapter 20It's been a week since everything happened. Pocco was slowly recovering, he was already fine to walk by himself. Evangeline help him with his medication while Blake was busy in the museum, avoiding Evangeline. He was always waking up early in the morning and coming home late at night. Making sure there would be no reason for him to have any conversation with Evangeline.It's already 11:00 at night, Blake got home and was surprised to see Veronica was there."Veronica?" he whispered, and Veronica walked closer to him and wrapped her hands around his neck and gave him a quick kiss.He didn't see it coming so he got speechless, same with Pocco and Evangeline, who was sitting on the couch, quiet and surprised."I couldn't reach your phone and decided to visit you, babe. And I found out that you are busy these past few days. So, I just wait here with Evangeline and Pocco," she said.Blake turned his eyes to Evangeline
Chapter 21 "Oh it's 2:00 am," Veronica whispered when she checked her phone. "Are you sleepy?" Blake rolled his eyes at her and Veronica nodded. "Yes, I would love to go home now?" she replied. Everyone then sat up straight and was getting ready to walk Veronica and Blake to the parking garage. "No," he shortly responded, making all eyes clearly wide open.Confused, she asked, "Hah? Is there a problem?"Blake stood up and stared at her, "You'll sleep here tonight, it's dangerous outside, I'll take you to your room," he said. "Not, if I'm with you," she winked. Veronica has a car when she came but she wished she just left her car like last time.Evangeline stared at Blake. "Veronica," he sighed. "I know but it's really late, your home is far away from here. It's better to stay here and have a rest immediately. I'm a bit tired as well, I couldn't drive you there..
Chapter 22"Goodnight," Blake said once again before he left the room. Veronica smiled and closed the door. The moment the door shut, tears flow through her face. She could feel that Blake was just pretending he loved her. She could see how Blake looked at Evangeline, the way he stared at Evangeline than her was too different. She knew that Blake was trying to tell him that but she managed to cut him off, she didn't want to break up with him, she was not ready yet.Veronica was trying to win his heart, she was assuming that there might be at least a few love he left for her. But the moment she kissed her, he didn't turn back the kiss, she tried to ignore it but he didn't as well tell her "I love you too," when she said, "I love you." The fact that after the day they became together Blake was all busy in the museum and didn't even ask her for a date."I'm right, he didn't like me, but why? Why does he have to tell me he loved me?" she asked
Chapter 23 Blake heard a knock on his door which woke him from his sleep. He immediately got up. "Who is it?" he yelled as he rubbed his eyes. "It's me, are you still sleepy? Should I come in?" Veronica said behind the door. Blake couldn't hear her, he wasn't focusing. It seemed like something was blocking his ear that he couldn’t hear what Veronica was saying. "Babe?" Veronica called but no one answered. "Hey, are you okay?" she asked. "I'm coming in, okay?" she said but still no response. Veronica thought he might still sleeping and she wanted to wake him up for breakfast. Tsk... Tsk... Tsk... Blake's eyes enlarged in horror the moment he heard his doorknob clicking. He hurried towards the door and shut it... Veronica was startled and taken aback. He was surprised that he left his door unlocked. "You're too careless, Blake," he murmured to himself as he leaned his back on the door. &nb
Chapter 24 Pocco chuckled awkwardly as he put back his gazes at Veronica. "That's a cool idea but... you know... I actually like a girl. Don't get me wrong, Evangeline is kind and most of all pretty, but I like another girl," he responded while Evangeline was still feeling sheepish. "Oh, is that so. I'm very sorry, I just hope we could have a double date. Anyway, we have to go," she said. "Should, I tag along?" Blake asked and Veronica grinned. "It's okay, babe. I and Evangeline will use my car. And I know you're busy, you should head to the Museum, I don't want to disturb your time. We'll be fine." "Are you sure?" Blake said. "Yes, babe. Don't worry, we'll see you after work," she said. "Alright, yes, but can we talk in private real quick?" he asked a favour and Veronica smiled at him. "Sure, let us excuse first," she said to Pocco and Evangeline. Pocc
Chapter 25"Relax! Relax! I'm just kidding, why are you that mad? Guilty?" he smirked.Blake bit his lower lip and tried to cool down his head as he stared at Pocco."Of course, not..." he groaned."Perfect, you say that okay? No turning back, I'm going to court Evangeline," he said as he tried to provoke Blake to spit out his annoyance."I thought you like Sheira?" he sharpened his eyes.Pocco shrugged his shoulders and sighed, "Well, yeah, but she likes you, and I know you know that clearly. She always seduces you, don't say you don't realize that?!"Blake looked up and thought about Sheira. He knew that Pocco was just stating the truth. Since the day he met Pocco and Sheira who were best friends and applied in the museum, he could feel how sticky does Sheira stared at him and how she always try to be alluring and seductive to impress him. He nodded and agreed to Pocco he said sorry about
Chapter 26"Pocco!" Sheira yelled as Pocco and Blake came to the museum together. She hugged him immediately and Pocco was tickling inside, he hugged her back and didn't let go of her for a long time. He was celebrating to feel her warm touch. Blake widened his eyes at Pocco, for he knew Pocco was taking advantage of the hug.Pocco smirked and let his tongue out and Blake couldn't hold his laugh. He chuckled and rolled his eyes as he thought how crazy his friend was."Gosh! How dare you for not answering my calls and messages!" Sheira exclaimed at Pocco.Pocco smiled a bit and winked at her, "Miss me, babe?"Sheira made a face and stepped back as she waved her hands a bit, "Ew! Babe? Stop that! My only babe here is..." she giggled and run near Blake and fastened her hands around Blake's masculine arm... "Him! So don't you dare call me that, okay. Gosh, babe? That's so much crazy, Pocco," she continued as she fan
CHAPTER 27While Pocco and Blake were heading downstairs, Pocco immediately noticed the girls at the edge of the building, near the exit. Observing Sheira's face he knew already that she was being mean with Veronica and Evangeline, he couldn't keep his chuckles by the thought of how Sheira felt insecure to see her rival, face to face."What's so funny?" Blake wondered as he glanced at him.Pocco shyly smile and said nothing, he then hurriedly walked downstairs and waved to the girls, "Hi, girls!" he yelled.The girls turned their eyes at him at the same time and smiled except Sheira who was rolling her eyes in annoyance but when she saw Blake her exasperated face shifted into a wide smile."Blake!" she said and encircled her arms around Blake.All of them were surprised, especially Veronica who was deeply feeling jealous and a bit mad by what she was doing, she could sense that she did
