Sam June, 2005

I'd been on the road since 4am, it was officially the off season and I intended on spending all of my break in London, where my girl was. Candice had lined me up with endorsement deals which were all based in London but apart from those I had the the entire Summer break to be with Veronica, in our own private bubble. 

Tonight was going to be our fifth date, it feels like it took forever to get here, between my team's match schedule that only brought me to London on the very rare occasion and Veronica's international travels that took her out of the country for weeks sometimes, our dates had been very spaced out.

I'd planned out the most romantic night, dinner at the hotel's 5 star restaurant, French champagne, slow dancing, a stroll along the thames where we make a stop to get ice cream, then back to the hotel room I'd booked where I would put on some sensual music, light some candles and make love to her. 

That was my first reason for wanting to get to London so early today, I knew I had a lot of prep work to do just to make sure this night was perfect for her. My second reason for wanting to get into London early was that I'd booked a viewing of a flat that I was looking at buying, nothing too over the top like my last place, just something to call home when I'd come to the city. 

When I hit the city limits I dialled Veronica's number and switched her to speakerphone as I weaved through the heavy weekend traffic. 

"Hey." She answered after the third ring, her voice heavy with sleep like I'd just woken her up. I felt so bad, robbing her of sleep but I couldn't go to this viewing without her.

"Morning Bunny girl, I'm about a half hour away now, I'll bring you coffee." I knew the promise of a strong coffee would get me on her good side. 

"Thank you baby, I'll go shower and see you when you get here." She says while yawning.

Forty minutes later, when I pulled up out the front of Kate's store I was surprised to find Veronica sitting on the steps that led up to her flat. She looked so radiant in the morning sun, her blonde hair sparkling as the sunlight reflected off of it, so cute in her tank top and jeans.

 When she climbed into the passenger seat she leaned over and kissed me, as soon as I placed my hands on her body I didn't want to let her go, I didn't dare move my hand above or below her waist and yet I was getting so unbelievably turned on, I had to stop or else we'd risk going a hell of a lot further and ruin the magic that I intended tonight to be. 

"I've missed you baby." I tell her as I pull back from our kiss and she wipes her lip gloss that was smeared on my mouth, giving me that gorgeous Veronica, dazzling smile. She's all I've thought about since I last saw her. 

"I missed you too, you have no idea my Bear, this week has been torture and I've been counting down the days until you get her." She says as she moves back into her seat and fastens her seat belt. 

"Why torture?" I ask her worried that something has happened at work, I know that dick Jarred had been hitting on her but she shut him down. I hope he didn't keep trying or else I'd have to have my fist talk sense into his ugly face. 

"Well you know how Bridget moved back here last week and is now living with Shay and I?" She goes to explain but doesn't need to get into detail, I've figured out the problem before she says it.
