Veronica’s POV
The only thing I was wondering while walking towards the bus of Team Alex was that why on Earth my school organizes Basketball tournament in late winters as the cold weather was making me shiver, the blood in my veins already turned into ice, Aigoo ! my description is pathetic just like the work I’m given.
“ Veronica baby, calm down, put a smile on your face, you are supposed to welcome them with a warm smile as you can’t let anyone complain against your work, just hope so this team of boys are not notorious.
When I went near the bus no one was standing outside and how could I even expect them to do so as it's so cold outside for anyone to turn into ice.
The door of the bus was closed I knocked but no one opened and as the bus was soundproof so it was of no use to ask them to open it so I was left with no option but to open it by myself.
And darn it guys when I opened the scenario was pathetic in front of my eyes half of the buys were sleeping, some were snoring while the others were playing some online games they were in their pajamas with either no T-shirt or T-shirt pulled up to their stomach, someone throw me from a cliff why on Earth am I given a boys team I can’t even run neither I want to stay, they were that much engrossed that they didn’t even notice my presence, even the coach was not present in the bus for sure he must be there getting the entry done for his team.
“ Veronica think of a way but the point is how will Veronica think as the cold outside has already numbed her senses. “ I wanted to say something to bring everyone’s attention towards me but words were not coming out of my lips.
I was getting anxious as I was unable to understand what to do and then only I noticed one of the boys pulling his T-shirt further upwards, I can’t see anymore, I have to leave, are they not feeling cold that they are pulling their T-shirt upwards and as I stepped back to find the door of the bus I bumped into someone a muscular masculine body it was, my head hit his chest and he smelled like coffee the exact thing I needed in this chilling weather, his heartbeat was fast for sure he took a short run to come to the bus, his n*****s were erect due to the cold, “ Mam, may I know what you are here for? “ And as I heard him I was lost in his voice as it was raspy and seductive at the same time, I for a moment forgot that he was asking me that question.
“ Mam I am waiting for an answer … “. I immediately walked back and came back to reality I looked at him to answer, sharp jawlines, green eyes, light brown and black color hair, fair complexion, light pink lips which anyone would like to kiss and while speaking the way his lips, lower jaw and neck were moving in a synchronized way was quite seductive.
“ Mam, can you please let me know what are you doing here? “ Veronica come back to the reality you can’t get attracted to good things you made a promise right.
“ Umm, I’m assigned the work to escort you all to your respective room, I knocked but no one opened, and yeah the scenario you can see so I was going out to ask someone for help “. I spoke in the best of my English accent to give a good impression.
“ Boys “. I thought he’ll further talk to me but he didn’t, he just listened to what I had to speak and said boys, this time in an authoritative tone. And as soon as he said this everyone was on their feet, impressive. But the reactions of them weren’t, they were astonished and at the same time ashamed of the fact that I saw them at their worst. The Mr. Captain didn’t care for anything and started speaking.
“ Guys this is …. “. Then he turned towards me and raised his brows, I too did the same as I was unable to understand what he wanted to hear from me.
“ Mam your name please “ . he said in a little frustrated tone, Oh so he was asking my name.
“It's Veronica Steward “. I answered boldly
“ So she is Veronica, she will be escorting us to our rooms I expect you all to behave and listen to her no flirts allowed as … “ I was curious what were the next words after as … but he didn’t complete it, I guess he repeats it every time to his mates.
“ Miss Veronica can you please wait for us outside as I want to have a word with them. “ I didn’t want to go out as the bus was so warm, hope so he didn’t notice I was disappointed by his words but I had no choice I walked out of the bus.
As soon as I walked out of the bus the freezing wind hit my face, the mini skirt was so mini barely protecting my legs.
I waited for one minute, two minutes, three minutes but no one came they almost took ten f*****g minutes to come out.
And as soon they did I greeted them with a warm smile, “ Hello team Alex, I’ll be showing you all your room so please come with me, your room no. 98, fourth block, top floor.
“ Do you have a lift in your school? ‘’ One of the team members asked me, his name was William, he was for me a-okay, okay kinda boy talking about looks, wait Veronica you are not here to checkout boys.
“ Even I wish the same at times during tournaments but no, we don’t have “. I replied to his question in a bit friendly tone.
“ I am dead big brother “. He made a face and said this to the team caption the one whom I bumped into, he didn’t say anything as he thought it wasn’t necessary, he just gave him a look to let him know that he listened to him. I guess he doesn’t like speaking much.
“ Miss Veronica I was curious to know why our team is given a girl to showroom as boys team get boys “. A boy with blond hair asked me, his name was Nick.
“ Why ask her , let me tell you, it must be because she is a fan of our big brother “. He is a creep that’s all I can say, it was William only .
“ No, for sure our team popularity is that much that her school administration would have thought of treating us differently “. Huh ? Sort of Prince syndrome, named Jack. Before they make more stories I interrupted them.
“ Guys it isn’t like that its cuz … “. Then I realized even I don’t know why I was given a boys team, I am bad at making stories about what to say.
“ Are you all forgetting the promises you made to me ten minutes back .” And after one sentence from the team captain, everyone was silent, again this guy was making me curious to think of what his words might be.
“ Veronica mam can we please leave for our room as my mates need to take a rest before the match “. He is kinda egoistic too, he can even call me Veronica, there’s no need of saying mam again and again.
“ If you don’t mind can you just call me Veronica “. I spoke in the same egoistic tone he spoke to me. His mates were looking at us.
“ Why not Veronica mam sorry Veronica “. What was that he just said and started walking without me leading the way this guy is something.
“ Excuse me, captain, let me escort you too with your mates as that’s my work,” I spoke as politely I could.
“ Veronica I know the way you just escort my mates “. He didn’t even look back to answer and kept on walking.
He is acting like a pain in my ass, calm down babe and just escort his mates.
