Calista's POV
The week just dragged itself along. It was such a boring one and I could not wait for it to finally came to an end. Summer had just began and the place was so annoyingly hot,though I really love summer.
Atleast with Rose, Cindy, Millie and Meshach,it was not that much boring for me. We had fun cooking at times and swimming though Rose was really water-phobic. She could not dare step into the water and that made her receive constant teasing from the rest.
Rose as being Rose, didn't give a damn about it. She would just tag along and sit on the sun lounger watching us.
It's now Friday,and am expecting to see Maverick today. He called the other night and informed me that he would be landing in the evening and would be home before dinner.
I thought I should make him that dinner I had prepared him last time but my mind was against it. What if he does not come home again tonight and my efforts go to waste just like the other time?
So I stayed in my room the whole day Netflix-ing.
The sun set so was so adorable to watch though I could not have a clear view of it through the window.
One thing I really love about this place or we can call it my home is that it's kinda secluded from the busy and noisy city. This place is so cool,serene and so beautiful. Watching the glazing lights from far at night is just so captivating and now that summer is here,the sunset is really a beautiful sight to behold.
I went to the gym and exercised for the evening. This had been my routine when I was still single at my mom's place. When I got married to Maverick, I was not so free.. actually I was not free at all. Feeling like a slave here and being married to a man I never even liked, I did not even know where the gym is. A whole month has passed now and I know the whole house as the back of my hand. I used to get lost almost each day but I got in track after almost a whole week.
After an hour, I was done with my workouts and sweating profusely. I picked the towel and wiped off the sweats from my forehead.
Just then my phone rang in my pocket and fished it out.
New number...strange!
Or maybe it was just Maverick calling from another phone.
I swiped the green button and pressed it against my ear.
"Yes..."I responded still panting,yet to catch my breathe.
"Hey, homewrecker..oh wait, boyfriend snatcher!"a feminine voice spoke and I frowned looking at the screen again before taking it back to my ear.
Okay,that's weird! Who calls on somebody's phone just to call them names!?.. desperate girlfriends. I heard of them thousands time but now here I am finally facing one!
We all really have first experiences.
"Homewrecker!.. boyfriend snatcher! May I know who am talking to please?"I spoke still maintaining my calm.
Oh how could I still keep calm with how rude that silly woman had just retorted at me? I love myself for this..like being able to keep calm despite how irritating someone can be.
"So innocent,huh! If only you knew how I hate you woman! Now listen and listen good. I know you are married to my soon-to-be husband but don't dare mess with my man. If you touch or even dare him...ofcourse he won't dare touch such a low life like you but if you seduce him,am coming after you,your psycho slut mother and your bitch lesbian sister...keep that in your filthy small mind!"she growled in a low voice.
goddess!!!
What's all this about?
I know I can keep my cool so well but like seriously calling mother a slut? and my sister a lesbian?...what's all that about?
With that,the phone was ended.
I looked at the screen my eyes still widened from shock and surprise... maybe
Tears welled up in my eyes. The thing is,I did not even know who just threatened me. And did that stupid woman threaten me because of that stupid Maverick that blackmailed my sister in to marrying him and my sister is not a lesb...
Wait if she was not a lesbian then why on earth did she run from home? I mean every lady prays for a rich and sexy-hot husband.
Not that I really like the fact that am married to Maverick. If I had my dream wedding then all would be cool since he is actually my dream husband.
Wait,does that mean I...
And does that mean Izara is...
"Ma'am?"a feminine voice distracted me from my thoughts. I quickly wiped away my tears from my cheeks and turned to look at who was just calling me.
"Millie.."I called trying to give her a sweet smile. I don't know why but she narrowed her eyes at me while furrowing her brows together and walked towards me slowly. Maybe because of the tears on my face or maybe I really looked shaken after that threat.
"Are you okay ma'am?"she asked,her voice full of concern.
I smiled again at her trying my best to hold back my tears but they stubbornly fell down my cheeks the more I tried holding them.
I nodded a yes while wiping off my tears not looking at her.
"Am fine Millie. Thank you for asking.Needed something?"I asked sniffing still wiping off my eyes.
"Um- I - I wanted to ask what to cook today if you need a change in the menu and to inform you that sir just arrived,"she spoke.
I certain feeling in me erupted when I heard that Maverick was home. What was it... happiness? Joy or gladness? But why would I still feel that way after a such a threat from whoever that woman was?
"Thank you Millie. You can stick to the menu today and I will be out soon,"I spoke still smiling at her warmly as if nothing happened but my eyes were stinging now.
Millie nodded and left the gym hurriedly. As soon as she left,I say down on the couch before me and let tears flow freely down my cheeks.
Like seriously,I never even wanted to marry that man. I was forced to give up on my carrier and get married. I was insulted on almost every social media platform and here I am,just received a threat from who knows who. Is my life going to be more hard than this.
I sobbed silently while hugging myself and when I finally calmed down,I carried my heavy legs and went upstairs praying not to bump into that handsome fellow.
That daughter of a bitch,if there is something of that sort,just killed the joy of me finally seeing my husband after whole week of missing him. And now all the miss ments had just vanished into thin air...or maybe they were still somewhere within me.
Such a killjoy!
And yes,I will not talk to him ever and I will ignore him to the fullest! I made up my mind as I walked in to my room.
****
I was in my room,dressed in an extra light nightie. It was summer and it could be very hot at night.The dress was having such small sleeved and very transparent,right for the season.I just finished having my dinner in my room and all I wanted was to watch and get my mind off that silly threat I received earlier. It was eating me up like some hungry lion. I never even knew why sister was a lesbian if at all that was even true...and my mum a slut?...Fresh tears rolled down at my thought.
This is it...I needed to do something to distract me or I swear I would keep on and on shedding more tears or probably cry the whole night.
I took my laptop. Right before I could even log into my Netflix account,I hear a knock at the door and before I even call in for the person to enter,the door is pushed open and the last person I wanted to see walks in to the room.
I wanted to yell at him to get out of my room,I wanted to pick the duvet and cover myself but all my body could do was stare back at him as he stared at me with those smoky gray eyes of his.
The gray sweatpants he was wearing, the black adidas shirt that was pretty tight on his body,his messy looking jet black hair that fell on his shoulders and his short but we'll trimmed beards,made me want to ponce on him and hug him, kiss him senseless and even,..what am I even thinking?
Shame on you Serenity! Shame! Shame!...I scolded myself at what I was thinking of.
His smoky gray eyes and his half full pink lips made him look smoking hot...
I gasped when I realized I was still checking him out and I quickly diverted my eyes from him and he chuckled.
"Hey there..."his voice was calm,low but very stern as if he would strangle me to death if I don't respond to him..just what I was planning on doing.
"Hey..."I found myself responding. I just gave in despite deciding not to talk him. But who could ignore such an arrogant handsome soul and that intimidating voice of his.
He remained silent for a while and ignored him for a while. Not that I really ignored him but just wanted to prevent myself from running to him and do what my mind were screaming for me to do.
"Is someone being a stubborn wife or a bad wife?"he asked and I flinched.
