Chereads / The Bride's Replacement / Chapter 19 - Frustrated

Chapter 19 - Frustrated

Addison had been trying to reach Maverick through his phone but got no response.She had called and called but Maverick was not answering her call. She was glad that the final day of the competition had arrived and she would give him a surprise visit,which he loved most.The competition was to be done that day and during the day.Only a single winner was needed and that was going to be found out today.After the sudden disaperance of Angle C.S who had taken the first position at the first day of the competition,the competition came to a halt. Changes had to be done.They had skipped the semi final competitions and waited for the finals since only two participants were present.

This news had taken the headlines of every newspaper, magazines,radio stations and Television channels.The facebook pages, twitter and Instagram were discussing about the sudden turn out of events. No one knew why Calista had done what she had done,not even her manager,Lisa Xing nor her director but almost everyone was judging her negatively.

Only her fans supported her saying the Calista is a gem with talents and would not run away for fear of failure as the headlines read.

While all this was happening,the music competition and social media pages and accounts in chaos,Calista was in her room not aware of what was happening out there.

Bzzzzz! Bzzzzz!

A loud vibration almost made Calista hop off the bed.She did not have a phone so she least expected a vibration on her bed. Her action made Liz laugh out hysterically.She reminded his of her grand daughter who was also as afraid as Calista was.

Calista joined Liz in the chortle but hers was out of embarrassment.That was so embarrassing!

The vibration persisted and it was from the side of the bed where Maverick sat earlier.She checked that side,took the pillow away and there laid the phone. It was not so huge but it shouted money and wealth.

Curiousity took the best of Calista and she turned the phone to see who was calling.

The name 'Mi Amor' proudly popped on the screen,making Calista gulp in pain.

Did he kiss her so passionately even thought he has a girlfriend or an 'amor'?...

She pushed all that away though it really hurt her poor innocent heart.

She singed for this and she was ready for it as well.

She wanted to ask this but when she patted her lips,a different question proceeded out of her mouth.

"Is he Spanish?"she asked trying to conceal the hurt in her voice. Liz had also.seen the name that popped on the screen and she knew it was that bitch of a girl. She felt for Calista.

She was adorable and very caring and kind but on her first day here, betrayal and pain already screamed at her face.

"No dear...he is not but it's a long story as well,"she responded.Calista nodded.

"Why do we not go for that house tour now?...but I have to take this phone to..."Calista asked trying to push away the hurt and pain she was feeling. Liz kept silent to hear how she would call him but when she decided not finish the statement,she had to agree.

"Hhhm...that's a good idea,"Liz agreed and led the way out.Calista picked the phone and followed Liz out of the room.

They were almost at Maverick's room when the door opened and Jake walked out.His eyes widened the more when his gaze fell on Calista.

"I cannot believe this.Angel C.S,huh!"he asked with a broad warm smile on."You look more beautiful in person."

Calista flashed him her sweetest smile and muttered a thank you.

"I am on of your greatest fans and am thrilled to meet you in person without having to pay a fee for it.Am Jake Williams,your husband's lawyer,"he did not forget to introduce himself after his chattering.He extended his hand and Calista accepted it and shook it while smiling.

Jake mused at how soft and warm her hand felt.He could not be let it go.Calista looked at Liz who was staring at them.woth confusion.She never knew that her madam was that famous though she was not yet a real superstar like Cosima Andrews and Addison Atticus that she knew.

Seeing that Calista's gaze was that of 'Can you please help?',she moved closer to them and hooked her arm in Jake's arms.

"My dear,why don't you come with me downstairs?...I prepared your favorite breakfast tacos you know..."he coaxed him.

Jake loosened his grip on Calista and looked at the older woman.

"Ofcourse Lizzy...let's get to it but fast let me have a snap with my angel,"he spoke unhooking his arm from her.

They both posed for a photo and Liz took him downstairs after showing Calista Maverick's room.

Calista watched the two.ad they chatted happily while walking downstairs.She then made her way slowly to Maverick's room with the phone.in her hand and the name 'mi Amor' in her mind.

The door was closed so she had to knock.

Knock! Knock!

She began but got no response.

Knock! Knock!

She knocked again and this time the frustrated voice of Maverick came to her ears.

"Get in..."he spoke.It sounded as though he knew who was knocking and that made her curious.

Did he leave this phone on purpose so that I could bring it to him?...did he realize that he left the phone and was expecting me?

She slowly opened the door and stopped in with the questions still running in her head.

She did not even realize the man that was standing before her until he spoke.

"Need something?..."he asked,his voice cold and his face very stern.Calist looked up at him and his sight made all the words in her voice box melt to nothing.

He was half naked.

His face was handsome and his upper body well torn.He had nothing on,making his biceps and six parks...not six but eight parks visible.Her eyes unwillingly travelled down to his waist.

He had a sparkling white towel tied loosely on his waist that she could see the v-shape there and she could tell that he had nothing on under that towel.

I know that's much to observe!

She gulped as her body heated up all the way to her middle and her ears.

She gulped again.

This man was sooo beautiful!

"You like what you see,huh?"he asked again with a teasing smile on making Calista snap from her gaze.

That killer smile!...oh my!Calista felt blank.

Maverick moved closer to her, covering all the distance between them.He did not know what she was thinking and what she wanted in his room but his body yearned for her.His fingers wanted to touch her and his lips get back to what they had started in her room.

He pulled her against herself and she could feel his manhood press on her lower abdomen.

She wanted to faint out what she was fellings at that moment.

He tilted his head closer to her face and there lips met again in a kiss. First tender and sweet and it got firey at each minute.Maverick began exploring her body making a moan escape her mouth.

They began getting deeper but Maverick's phone vibrated in Calista's hand,making them break their contact.She raised her hand to him.as she passed the phone.

"What are doing with my phone?"he asked as he took it.They both saw who was calling and it pierced Calista's heart badly.

"You left it in my room and I was bringing it to you,"she answered calmly.

"And what were you standing here for instead for handing the phone and leaving this place?"he asked very harshly making her flinch abit.

'Is he serious right now?How was I supposed to remember what I came here for after seeing what I saw?...and whyis he being harsh at me? I did not initiate the kiss!'she thought angrily.

She was angry that his mood towards her changed because of the phone call and she was very frustrated that she did not push him earlier away even after seeing who called earlier.

"Am sorry about that..."she apologized but she was really about to burst in anger.

"Leave my room right away!"he commanded angrily as if he was talking to one of his servants.He was angry as well, angry that he let himself get carried away and romance with another lady. He was angry that his body was behaving out of his control because of this girl!

He was frustrated by everything he was going through since the hour his new fake wife stepped foot in his house.Everything was so annoying!

They were both frustrated for wanting each other and they were both frustrated at themselves!
