~Veronica Beckham
What a combination!
An angry Arthur, with a bleeding hand and a shattered glass cup beneath him.
"Oh, my God! Are you okay?", I rushed to him, examining his hands.
"Of course, I'm not okay", he hissed in pain, jerking his hands from mine. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to check on you"
"I don't need you, so leave", he walked away to the bar cabinet, grabbing the whiskey from the table and chugging it down his throat.
I seized it away from his hand in anger, "Sure, you don't need me but you're mum and sis do, you don't plan on making them go through another pain when you bleed to death do you?"
"I don't need your talks", he moved closer to me, trying to take the bottle back.
"Don't you fucking touch me", I yelled.
I held it high up in the air but he was taller. He reached for it but before he could get to it, it slipped out of my hand, smashing on the ground, close to my leg.

I stared at the shirt and shorts, and I angrily grabbed them.So much for first impressions.I turned to look at him. Won't he leave for me to change? He just stood there looking at me."Aren't you gonna leave? Privacy?""Nope, you can go change in the bathroom", He took off his jacket, flopped down to the bed, and started scrolling through his phone.I huffed, walking back into the bedroom. Such an asshole!I stripped down, pulled the shirt over my head, then looked at myself in the mirror. I was literally lost inside it. It looked like an oversized short gown.I passed the shorts over my leg and tied it tight so it didn't fall off my waist.I felt exposed, looking at the way my legs looked in his clothes, then sniffed his clothes. It smelled like him, which I loved.I stared at my complexion in the mirror, at my unruly hair.I hoped Mrs Callaghan wouldn't think we were d

~Arthur CallaghanToday was the day we would say our last goodbye to my dad, though he lived in our hearts forever.It was going to be a hard day for my sis, especially my mum.She was shouting out orders, trying to make the day go as planned, paying attention to the details such as flowers to be used to decorate his casket; his favorite, White Orchids.We had to give my dad the perfect ceremony he deserved.We invited a few people, close work buddies of his, a few family friends and families, and just one photographer. Everyone was running around, busy with the preparations for the funeral, while here I was locked up in my room, trying to write a tribute but couldn't seem to put a word down.Torn papers were scattered on the table and floor. I couldn't write down my feelings and angrily closed the book when my door rattled."Come in." It was probably Ana coming to tell me it was time to go to the cemeter

~~After the ceremony people kept walking up to us to say condolences and I got tired of engaging in a conversation with strangers, I saw Veronica standing awkwardly watching people, then I waited for the perfect moment to escape and when it did, I took off. It would take some minutes before Mum notices I'm gone.I walked towards her."Hey, you're ready to meet my mum?" I smiled weakly.I was so tired of talking about my dad with total strangers. I still talked about him like he was still here and to realise he was not.I needed a break from all this and a hug.Veronica stood on tiptoe, and gave me a big tight hug, snuggling me which shocked me so much I became rigid, not reciprocating.She just held me tighter, and after a few seconds, I relaxed, burying my head in the nook of her neck. She smelled like lavender. This was slowly becoming my favorite scent.We stay like this in silence for a few mi

~Arthur CallaghanVeronica was the last person I wanted to see right now, especially in this state. I didn't want to say things that would hurt her feelings. That would even make her dislike me more."Oh my God! Are you okay?" She rushed to me, taking my bleeding hands to examine the cuts. Why does she ask questions she knows the answer to?Of course, I'm not okay. I just punched my uncle, drove more than the speed limit, and cracked a glass with my bare hands.She applied pressure to the cut and I hissed in pain, jerking my hands off from hers. "What are you doing here?""I came to check on you""I don't need you, so leave", I snapped at her.I knew I shouldn't have yelled at her but she shouldn’t have come. I needed more whiskey in my system, so I strolled back to the bar, grabbing the whiskey from the table, and chugged it down my throat.She ripped the bottle off. "Sure, you don't need me but your mum and sis do. You don't plan on making them go through another pain when you bl

"Can you stop staring? You're making me edgy?""You better get used to it then", I smirked, still staring."Now we are a matching, injured couple"."Thanks", I murmured, walking out.What a helluva couple we were, showing up to dinner both injured. She was not out yet, so what was she doing in there? I walked back. "What are you doing?" I peeked my head inside only to see her fighting vigorously with the dress."I'm trying to make the dress you ruined with your bloody hands more presentable""Oh come on", I took the rag, dumping it in the sink.She could just wear my clothes, I would send her dress back to her when it was dry-cleaned.I opened my closet, looked through and unfortunately I didn't have anything feminine. I just grabbed a t-shirt and shorts and chucked it at her face."I am not wearing your clothes", She flung them on the bed."Fine, go to the table reeking of blood then." Or naked, I really didn't mind.She stared at the shirt and shorts, weighing her options, then to

~Veronica BeckhamI stood at the entrance of the room, peeping. How do I show up for dinner looking like this, especially after Mrs. Callaghan just saw me minutes ago snogging her son’s face?I must have stood there for minutes before Arthur nudged my shoulders. "What are you still doing here? Come on”, he laced his fingers in mine, pulling me out. I spotted the food before I saw Analisse, the aroma making my stomach rumble. I hope he didn’t hear that. Ana looked at me from head to toe. “Ah… what happened to your clothes? Don’t tell me you guys—”, She paused, gaping. “I think I’ve lost my appetite”. She made a gagging face. Oh no! It’s not what you think, we didn’t have sex!“Arthur's bloody hands stained my dress, so I had to change, it’s not what you think”,“Oh, you should have just asked me, I’d have got you some dresses”,“Sure you do, but I wanted her in my clothes”, Arthur grinned at me.My cheeks can’t take any more redness or my face will explode from turning crimson.Ar

~~I opened the door to meet Lilly watching Tv, she looked at me from head to toe. “Why are you—” I raised my hands, cutting her off. “I’m not in the mood for your questions, where’s mum and dad?”“They went to the hospital for Dad's checkup," she grumbled, facing her Tv frowning.I was heading straight up to my room when Lilly shouted that Reese was in my room.Just great! I had been avoiding her since and today of all days she decided to show up. It was high time I faced her. I opened the door, throwing my bag on the table, and collapsing on the bed. I saw Reese on the chair, she paused the movie she was watching on her laptop, shooting daggers at me.“I’m sorry for ghosting you’, I pouted.“Nuh uh, don't give me that look, I ain't letting you off the hook that easily”, she shook her head at me. “You should also be apologizing for also not telling me you were in a relationship, you made me look like a fool setting all those dates for you which you never went on, now I know why”,

~ Veronica BeckhamThe D-day was ultimately here. To finally announce our engagement and clear all rumors people had been spreading about us. I woke up tired, dreading today. I was not really good with people, I didn't know how I was going to stand plastering a permanent fake smile on my face, my cheeks were going to hurt like hell. My parents decided not to come, they didn't want to be in front of the public eye especially if paparazzi and a lot of photographers and media houses were going to be there. But my sister wasn't going to miss something like this.According to her, this was the engagement of the century, the most anticipated one. She went shopping with Analisse a few days ago and like I predicted, they fell in love at first sight, they were glued to the hip, you would think they'd known each since forever. I was dropping her off at Mrs. Callaghan's house, she decided to get ready and leave for the hall from there.I haven't spoken to Arthur since the dinner I had with h
