Calista got to the bedroom. It was already nightfall and Maverick was not back home yet. She was sure she heard him say that they were to go home that same day but he was not home and it was seven pm.
"Maybe he changed his mind"she thought as walked to the closet. She needed to shower and get ready for dinner.
She let out a loud sigh as she let down her hair which she had earlier packed in a neat ponytail. She was tired.
She had chosen to use the stairs when coming to the room instead of using the elevator and her legs were hurting from the long walk and the heels she was wearing were not helping her out.
"I had to wear these things for no reason at all. This man is so annoying!"she cursed. She sat on the chair before the dressing table and pulled off the heels.
She took a towel from the cabinet and undressed from the red wine dress she was wearing.
Calista wrapped the towel around her petite body then walked to the bathroom.Her eyes met Maverick walking into the room right before she could walk into the bathroom.
Somehow,she felt happy by seeing his beautiful face. Maverick's eye did not miss her standing at the door.
He admit that she looked edible in her towel dress. Her hair was let down and the towel hardly reached her mid thighs. She was walking bear foot.
He felt his heart summersault when his eyes held the beautiful smile on her face. Calista completely forgot how short her towel was.
She was just glad he was finally home.
"Good evening Maverick,"she greeted him with a warm smile.
Maverick nodded at her greetings.
"Good evening Calista,"his response followed after the nodding. There was no smile on his face but his voice was not cold.
Maverick began walking towards the closet while loosening his tie.
"How was work today?"Calista asked. Maverick stopped in his track and turned to look at her.
No one had ever asked him how work was before. Even Diana his mother. She would give him a welcome home kiss and tell him to be down in an hour for dinner.
Not even his girlfriend, Addison had asked him that.
He felt a certain warmth surge through his whole being. He was happy that atleast somebody cared.
"It was fine..."he curtly responded then walked to the closet.
Calista frowned.
"He did not even ask how my day was and neither did he tell me why on earth we are still here after saying that I should prepare for us to leave. Annoying man..."she spoke angrily. She grabbed the door, wanting to open it when another knock at the door came to her ears.
She rolled up her eyes before walking towards the door. The person knocked again at the door and Calista guessed it was a maid.She opened the door and as she had guessed,it was Malia standing at the door with some clothes.
"Am sorry for disturbing you ma'am. I brought the clothes back,"Malia spoke holding the clothes before her.
Calista nodded.
"Should I get in and put them at the closet?"she asked with her head bowed a little.
"No thanks Malia. I will do that and you do not have to bow your head when talking to me,"Calista said with a smile and Malia returned it. Calista stretched her hands and took the clothes from her. She then closed the door and started toward the closet.
Maverick had just stepped out of the closet with a towel wrapped around his waist. He was walking towards the bathroom.
Càlista's eyes bulged as he looked at him walk towards the bathroom.
'Did he not see the towel on my body.Thats supposed to tell him that I should go to the bathroom first and not him!'her mind screamed angrily.
"Hey hey hey!"she called to him and Maverick turned not knowing who she was calling.
He was surprised as well as amused when he found out that she was calling him actually.
He did not once think that she would call him that way. She really had the guts.
Calista placed the clothes on the bed then quickly crossed the distance between them. She looked quite funny with how she was walking.
"You can not go to the bathroom first. I should go there first,"she started and Maverick let out a sigh. Was that the reason she called him 'hey'?
Unbelievable!
"Who said that you should go there first?And if you just forgot then I will willingly remind you that this is my room and I do as I please,little wife,"he spoke in a low voice which sounded more of a growl.
Calista gasped,faking a shock.
"I actually have not forgotten that this is your room and you can do as you please. I have not forgotten that so I need no reminder but I took off my clothes first so I should shower first,"she insisted. She actually was even shocked that she was aurguing with this man.
Marrying Maverick made her know some characters she never knew she possessed before.
"Calista am pretty tired and I need to take my bath so please get out of my way,"Maverick responded.
Did he just say please!? ...Now that was new. Royal Maverick Atlas did not use the word please and he used it without even realizing it!
Calista almost gave him way but another part of her refused. He could wait for some minutes and she was also tired.
"I also had a busy day. Sitting around when Kim checked my hand and waiting for you half the day. Trust me it was as tiring as you can not imagine. But I did not have time to take a drink like you so you can wait for me to take the shower first,"Calista spoke.
She was very sure she got another smell emitting his mouth and she was sure it was the smell of alcohol.
Maverick frowned. He did not expect her to smell the alcohol in his mouth.
Two hours earlier,
Maverick was done talking to Eddy. He got on his feet and walked towards the door. He almost opened the door when Eddy called to him again.
"Two hours only and you can go..."Eddy convinced him and he could not turn him down.
They both left the office and walked to Super High. Super High is a club owned by Maverick.They got to the counter like everybody else instead of going to the VIP room. Maverick thought it best to drink among others than the VIP guests.
They both ordered their drinks and drank till he felt tipsy. He cared less about all the eyes that were on him and how the ladies in almost nothing eyed him hungrily.
***
Currently,
Without a word, Maverick walked inside the bathroom. She was different. He had walked passed his mom outside and sisters there but they did not realize that he was high but she did just by the smell. Not like he looked drunk. She was really different...
Calista groaned in annoyance when he got inside and closed the door behind him. He had been so quick that she did not see him move. He just heard the banging of the door and that was it.
"This man!!"she cursed under her breathe. She walked back to the bed and picked up the clothes and angrily walked to the closet.
"Why am I getting angry for no reason? I can shower after him,"she thought as she hanged the shirt and the trouser.
"And why on earth would he drink that much. If I could smell the alcohol then it means he is drunk. Just that he can handle it...but why would he drink in the first place!?"she could not let that go.
Was he stressed about something? If not,he would have told her that he went drinking for fun but he did not bother saying anything to her.
"Why should I care why he drunk or not. He can drink as much as he wants for all I care,"she tried dismissing it but it did not work.
She was worried about him. She let the thought of 'may be something is wrong' overpower that of 'maybe he drank for fun'.
"But he did not ask how my hand is now so why should I care about him. He can f"ck himself,"she spoke angrily still trying not to care.

Addison had had the roughest day of her life in case there were no more to come. Izara was still mad at her and she did not want to bother her. Since she moved to the other room,she thought she should give her space.
She laid on the bed ready to sleep but her phone rang.
"Hello?"she spoke when she picked it.
"Isn't it good to hear your ugly voice, Addison?"a female voice spoke slowly. Addison was quite for a while. It was a new number and she did not know who it was. The lady spoke again.
"How have you been girlfriend?"the lady asked and Calista finally got the voice.
"Casey?"she called.
