Veronica's POV

"Casper! FASTER!" I whined while clutching my small hands on his broad shoulders tighter.

He letted out a grunt and went faster. I bounced up and down slightly, my heart was skipping a beat from the sensation I was getting.

I closed my eyes as he was beginning to get slow. A loud cheer from the crowd was heard and I knew we won. I nuzzled my head on his neck causing him to chuckle.

We won the race, what did you think it was? *cue the lenny face*

Casper decided that we should join the 'piggy back ride race'. I snorted at the idea at first but my jaw fell wide open when he was actually serious.

--Flashback--

I ran my fingers through my untamed hair trying to somehow untangle it from it's knots. Sitting up on my bed, I reached for the alarm clock near me.

6:48 a.m.

I mentally face palmed myself because I would normally still be asleep by now, not a care in the world around me.

*knock* *knock*

"Who's there?" I asked with clear dissatisfaction on my voice, I hate it whenever people disturbs one's privacy.

After a few seconds I received a reply. "Dishes" he answered playfully. I rolled my eyes already knowing who it was, so I decided to play along.

"Dishes who?" I asked again but now with a smile creeping up my face, just the sound of him can make my day. So he uses this to get away with things.

I heard him giggling which sounded crazy by the way, "Dishes a very bad joke" he says opening the door and sitting on the bed with me.

Giggling with him on his knock knock joke,he grins at me showing off his Colgate teeth, so I gave him back one. He patted my head and brought his hand close to mine, intertwining them.

"Morning sunshine" he pulls our hands close to his face, kissing the back of my palm. I was flustered a little, but he opened his mouth to say something.

"Take a shower, I'm bringing you this year for our stupid family reunion...again" He says letting out a frustrated sigh. 'Well someone's excited' I thought to myself.

I got up from my bed and stood in front of him, I did a quick peck on his cheeks and made my way to the bathroom. Even though by back is facing him, I can already imagine the redness of his face caused by a little kiss. I loved my effect on him, oh but scratch that, I love him.

Sometimes I wonder how I even deserved him in the first place, I'm trouble waiting to happen.

Once I finished my time in the bathroom, I told Casper to just wait outside to let me finish.

After minutes of picking clothes I decided to wear an oversized mint green hoodie, which I stole from Casper by the way, some ripped jeans and a white beanie. It was the month of October so it's getting to start chilly here in Canada, but it takes autumn very well, let alone it has a red maple leaf flag.

And if you ask, no, I do not speak French, I know how to but I just didn't like it. I finished putting on light make up and took one last look on the mirror.

I walked out of my apartment building and saw Casper waving his hand at me and smiling like an idiot, he's really childish most of the time.

He was leaning against his black sports car and he approached me, "Mi' lady?" he asks for my hand and I give it with no doubt. He walked me over to his car and opened the door for the shotgun seat for me, I got in and he goes to the other side and gets inside with me.

"Ready?" his hands were on the steering wheel grabbing onto it.

I closed the car door and strapped myself in the seat belt, I nodded my head gesturing him to drive.

After a few minutes have passed and dead air is in between us. Weird, normally he would talk about random stuff like 'Hey Nica, who would win? Half of the universe or one purple boy?' but he didn't.

Someting is seriously wrong right now, it's either he's hiding something from me or he's holding back his shit. Wait, did I just think that?

I just waited until the car finally went to park, the venue for their family reunion looks like it was out of the movies, I mean who am I to judge, I'm not a critic (but I am, I just don't want anyone saying I'm judgemental).

He went out of the car and also helped me get out of the vehicle. He was looking fiiiiiiine. The many 'i's were appropriate.

We walked hand in hand to the meeting place which was a large and I mean LARGE building painted in cream with some modern touches. I bet these are the type of houses billionaires would live in.

"Nica," he told me in a serious tone. I would normally see his fun side but when he gets serious, all I can say is damn.

He grinned cheekily, "wanna join a race?"
