With half-closed eyes, Max pulled back his mobile device from his ear and stared at the number.
He wondered who it was and why the person wasn't speaking up.
Supporting his weight on his elbow, he got into a sitting position. The light purple cover on him fell off, revealing his mouth watering-sexy upper body.
His chest rose and fell. The type that could have made ladies screamed, if he used the body for what it seems to be made for and showcase it on screen.
"Hello?" He spoke up again, this time with a more clearer voice, brushing his disheveled hair to the back, with his left hand.
"Since you're not saying anything, bye." And then, he ended the call.
Letting out the groan that he has been holding in, he tossed the phone aside and pulled the cover to his head, planning to resume with his sweet sleep, but the phone rang again.
"Grrrrrr." He made the sound in between gritted teeth and checked the caller. It was the same number.
"Sorry, who is this?" He asked, after picking up the call again.
There was no response again.
"I'm sorry, but if you refuse to talk and call me for the third time, I will put the number under blacklisted contacts. So…. hello?" Max heard the phone beep.
The caller ended the connection on his/her own.
"Please don't call me back." Max groaned softly and pulled his pillow closer, sealing his face on it and closed his eyes.
But within a few minutes of trying to sleep again, since he was busy working all night and just started getting his precious sleep a few hours ago, his phone rang again.
"Oh god!" He was reaching his limits.
He didn't bother to act gentlemanly any longer. He reached for the phone without sitting up and picked it. "Whattttt???" He stressed the word with a hoarse tone.
"I'm sorry Mr Walker, did I disturb your sleep?" Max heard a sweet sexy voice from the other end and raised his brow.
"Can I help you?" He asked, looking at the number, only to see that it's not the same with the previous caller.
"I want us to meet. It's a surprise and I'm sure you would be awed when you set your eyes on me." The excited voice said.
"Oh! And the name is?" Max had his nose cringed.
"It's Alicia. I won't say more than that until we meet." Alicia said.
"Well, I don't think I've ever heard such a name and don't have the luxury to make an appointment with someone that called and just said I'm going to be surprised to see her." Max tried to sound polite.
Being the shameless girl that she was, Alicia only chuckled in return. "Believe me Maximilian, you would be excited to meet with me and I would be glad if you can come with Emily. That sweetheart." Alicia said and Max finally relaxed his cringed nose and raised brows.
"I guess I should let myself be awed then, miss Alicia." Max replied and Alicia chuckled dramatically.
Hearing his voice alone was making her heart thumping crazily and damn! When he emphasized 'what' in that deep sexy half-asleep voice, Alicia could tell that her face was already having a hint of redness.
"Yeah, Max. I would be very busy today, you know….. weekend stuff, but I would be free tomorrow. How about you?" Alicia asked and Max found himself pouting his lips.
Who is this woman?
From Walker to Maximilian. And now she was calling his nickname. He was curious to see who she was and hoped the surprise would be as intriguing as the lady made it sound.
It has been a while he was awed, if yesterday even was excluded.
Thinking of the Smith's heiress, Max frowned deeply. He stayed up late because of her, since he just felt pissed and found it hard to concentrate.
He had to exercise for a long while, before he managed to block the name, 'Smith' from his memory.
"Hum.. Max? You there?"
Alicia's voice made him return to his senses. "Well, tomorrow will be fine, since it's the weekend." Max replied.
"Cool by me. Say hi to Emily." Alicia said.
"She would ask who the greeting was from. Since miss Alicia decided to remain mysterious, I guess I would do that after we meet." Max said and Alicia chuckled shyly.
"Bye, Max." That was her reply, before ending the call.
"No more calls." Max said and was about to venture into the dreamland before the sleep vanished, but his doorbell rang.
"Oh great!" He exclaimed and got up from his bed, while a deep frown still marred his expression.
He was putting on a white pajama trousers that had the band wrapping sexily around his waist.
Getting to the door, he peeped through the camera and saw the sexy figure of Heidi, grinning annoyingly as usual.
"Say something that wouldn't make you be six foot under the ground within a few seconds." Max said, immediately the door opened.
Heidi smiled, while her eyes traced his abs.
"Let's see….
1, You aren't holding a gun.
2, Your body look sexier than usual and could have make me straight
And hum… 3, I will tire you out before you manage to kill me, so a few seconds sounds like a bluff. I feel hurt, boss." Heidi replied.
