"Shit! It's my dad, I gotta take this," Veronica got up as she checked her caller ID.
"Ok, is it ok if I take a shower," Weevil already knew it was a go head. She just nodded her head as she answered her phone.
"Hi daddy," she said shakily
"Veronica why haven't you been answering your phone," Keith asked and you could tell he was upset.
"Oh well I got kidnapped and took down to Tijuana for five days," she said it like it was no big deal.
"I'm gonna ask you one more time why weren't you answering your phone,"
"It was dead and I couldn't find the charger. So I went to the Cingular store and it was closed for the week because they were remodeling,"
"oh ok honey so how was school,"
"same old same old," making it seem like it was torture that he put her through school "so have you caught our criminal,"
"yeah I have and I'm flying out in the morning so don't have anything planned because I haven't seen you forever and it's going to be a daddy daughter day,"
"I can't wait,"
"Ok honey I love you,"
"love you too,"
"bye" she clicked off her phone as Weevil walked out of the bathroom. Her phone rang again and the caller ID said that it was unavailable .She sat on the couch.
"Hello," the apprehensiveness showing through her voice.
"Now what makes you think that just cuz you got outa TJ makes you safe Veronica, and your boyfriend he's the one that started all this shit. You just had to help him didn't you Veronica." The voice made her skin crawl.
"Who the hell is this and how did you get my number,"
"Watch your back V," the line went dead.
"It sounded like one of your old boys," she looked Weevil dead in the eye. "they said you started all this shit,…….. you need to fill me in," she was close to tears again.
"After they kicked me out and you came to pick me up they got pissed off that you helped me they wanted me left there to die,"
"oh so they takin it out on me,"
" I think so," everything was quiet for minutes. It wasn't the awkward quiet that has to be filled it was the comfortable quiet.
"My grandma will want us to come to dinner to night," Weevil was so proud of his family especially his grandmother.
"Yeah we can to that, sounds exciting,"
"So what do you want to do till then," he said that as thunder rumbled over head. This was followed by the piter patter of rain on the roof.
"Well now that it's rainin' outside why don't weren't a movie or two and cuddle up on the couch,"
"Sounds good to me," he smiled as she grabbed her keys off the kitchen counter. They ran out to her car through the rain laughing the whole way to the blockbuster video store. Opening up the door for her to go through he said, "What do you want to rent?"
"A horror it's the perfect day for it,"
"Ok but you come cryin to me in the middle of the night because you had a nightmare, I just might have to let you crawl in bed with me,"
"Well in that case lets get a couple then there's more of a chance of me getting scared," She grinned at him as he put his arm around her waist. After walking up and down the aisles for a half an hour they got two movies that pleased them both. Once again they ran to the car laughing and screaming like they were little kids again. She let them both in without bothering to lock the door behind them. He was getting the snacks and she was getting the blanket and setting up the DVD player. Veronica ended up finishing her tasks before Weevil was done getting the popcorn, sodas, and icecream.
"Who woulda known he's a sucker for chocolate ice cream," Veronica giggled at the sight of him diving into the ice cream container with his spoon. Horror flicks don't scare Veronica they were just an excuse to cuddle up with her man.
"Hey V I brought some snacks and a movie for today," Wallace's voice rang through the apartment as he stepped through the door way. When he saw Weevil and Veronica all snuggly on the couch he turned right back around and went back outside.
"I should probably talk to him," She said this as she made her way to the door. When she opened it she found him sitting on the bench on the right side of the door.
"Was I the last to know," he was looking at the ground when he said this.
"No it just started today and the only others that know about us is Logan and Duncan and I wanted to tell you first but they walked in on us making out,"
He smiled at this "Let me guess the ex's didn't like it to well,"
"Nope not at all so they left and we rented some movies. You should come in and join us,"
"I would feel like a third wheel,"
"Then invite Jackie,"
"Ok that actually sounds fun,"
"Good. You call her and I'm going inside," She let the door close behind her.
"So what's the deal with Fennel,"
"He's inviting Jackie to watch the movie with us,"
"uh..ok,"
"she's ok and so is Wallace,"
"I trust you V," The rest of the afternoon the four watched the movies and ate junk food till they couldn't eat anymore.
