Simon was secretly delighted he was glad that he didn't rush to confess that day given veronica personality she will definetly keep her distance after all the was worth he knows their is long road ahead he is glad he waited for right time its fine as it was of now we can slowly develop
That was the day Simon completely believed Ver is not with because he was comfortable to be with she has the feelings as me its not Simon didn't believed he feared she was with him because he during the past year from their relationship till now she never expressed her feelings aside from occasional miss you from there are no other words or any actions there was a one time Simon had the urge to hug her but as he tried to do that she was trembling her hands but still stood their for hug he stopped his actions and diverted her action from then to this day he was observing her all actions he thought it was early or he believed that she just treats him as close friend confused for other feelings still he thought he can get her feelings slowly as days go by he realised its not that she didn't have feelings she just closed all those feelings he just waited he tried to make her comfortable by his actions rather than words today he just tested her whether she tries to take a step ahead or completely backing away by pressuring her to say i love you he realised she had much strong feelings for him than he imagined even though something seems to stop she is trying to express her feelings in her own way .,something is still bothering him that she is fighting herself for some reason
Simon glanced her side and made a decision its fine if she is with him even with no progress even she is not ready to express for a life time its fine as long she is with him
Veronica silently glanced at their linked hands various thoughts drifted her mind she thought she is not completely moved on from those traumatic memories she thought she is willing to fight against the past to able to spend time with him she had trust in him that he will wait for her she may felt she was selfish but humans are not selfless creatures for her he is her selfish motive and rope to hang on ( veronica past will be explained in later chapters)
Veronica glanced at Simon and narrowed distance as she linked her arms to his leaned towards him
Simon glanced at her smiled and raised his arms around her shoulder to see her response she just enveloped her hands around his waist and smiling
Simon got the response he wanted simply smiled and walked through the road already they crossed the intersection for hailing taxi still either one of them spoke
may be weather or the atmosphere or her trust in Simon, she felt the urge to walk with him with the same posture for a long time ( after a long time it became a beautiful memory for them )
After crossing 5 intersection Simon took the initiative to stop cab for both of them and hailed
as Simon's apartment's is 5 mins walk from Veronica's dorm single cab enough for them
After reaching near veronica dorm Simon asked her to wait and then went somewhere came back hurriedly with ice cream seeing that Veronica smiled brightly while shanking her head
Simon waved ice cream Infront of her and gave her the bag said his good bye and left ,Veronica stood and watched until Simon disappeared and went inside

Simon slowly whispered in her ear : your very good my CFO lets going baby or else we will be late
after that Simon slowly relased her to widen the distance suddenly Veronica grabbed his hand and narrowed distance and hugged him and placed her on his shoulder and whispered some words which Simon didn't hear from sudden shock as it was first their proper hug and that to Veronica initiated and wrapped her hands around and asked again
Veronica slowly whispered in his ear : call me again what u called me before
