MAVERICK’S POVIt was finally the day of the game. The game between Phoenix Hockey team and Devils Hockey team.Most captain from other teams who has a game the same day as we did might be warming up as early as 5am and also talk to the team members who might be nervous, but I did none of that.I wasn’t nervous and for my team members, I already gave them the necessary information about the other team some days before the game.So amongst all things in my mind at that moment, Kaida topped it all.Her reply from the previous day had me mulling over it for hours.‘Watch me, Jensen.’She was hell-bent on wearing the Devils Jersey to the game and the only thought crossing my mind was to win against the Devils and rip the Jersey off her, right in the arena.I had been watching her from the sidelines for five fucking years while she date Liam and one other brunette from high school. Though, I threatened to break his legs if he didn’t break up with Kaida, which of course he did.So why was I
MAVERICK’S POVI think I’m fucked. Yes, I am.So fucked beyond repair and every reasonable doubt.Chasing after women seemed boring to me. It took up more energy and time than I was willing to give, but that didn’t seem to be the case with Kaida.The girl got me so bad and obsessed over her like she was the goddess of the moon and even the Earth.Before her, I didn’t find anything to be obsessive over, not even hockey. But when she came into the picture five years ago as a freshman at the high school Ember and I attended, I couldn’t take my eyes off her.Funny how I never approached or made any effort to tell her how I feel about her because that would definitely make her scared and even run the fuck away from me.What I am feeling for Kaida wasn’t like or love, fuck my life, it was pure obsession. Unhealthy dark obsession.One that coats my eyes fucking red when I see her with other guys, but I couldn’t stop them. Hell, it wasn’t like I couldn’t, rather, I didn’t stop them because s
KAIDA’S POV It has been almost a week since the accident at the bar where I worked. The thought of returning to the same place, which could bring haunted and terrorizing memories, shook me deep in my bones. Ember had informed me when I woke up at the hospital that Manuel had been arrested and put in jail with the help of Maverick, yet, I couldn’t shake off the feeling as I marched towards the bar. My shift had begun and since it would be my last day at the bar before I resigned, I had to come. I couldn’t just send my resignation later without coming to the bar myself, even though I dreaded the thought of it. “Let’s get it done, Kaida.” I assured myself. But, tell me why I haven’t gone into the bar despite it having been over five minutes since I got there? It was harder than I thought it would. “Is it still hard for you?” Moses asked from behind and my lips stretched into a smile as I turned to look at him. “Hey.” “I’ve been watching for over five minutes. You a
KAIDA’S POV Yes. I loved the kiss more than I could admit and it angered me. Maverick shoved his tongue slowly into my mouth, capturing mine in his. His hand shifted from my waist to my ass. Just one spank on my ass and a moan threatened to spill out. I shouldn’t be doing this. Not with my best friend’s brother, but I was too into the kiss to break it and Maverick? He was down so bad. “Fuck!” Maverick let out an unsatisfactory groan. He wasn’t satisfied with just the kiss. He wanted more and I wasn’t ready to give. Another spank on my ass, got my brain returning like a wave in the seashore. My eyes peeled open and I pushed him with every strength I had in me. Annoyingly, he has great stamina, hence, my push only disconnected our lips but wasn’t enough to send him reeling backwards or even hit the wall. “What have I done?” I muttered as I dug my fingers into my hair in frustration. “Leave, Maverick.” My voice trailed off as I spoke. “See? You’re down so ba
KAIDA’S POV I remained in the restroom until my ragged breaths returned to normal and fell into a steady rhythm. And when that happened, I gathered my hair into a more tighter bun as the last made my hair rough and strands fell to my face. It took less than a minute to get it done and once I was ready to leave the restroom, I exhaled loudly and moved to the door. I knew I was going to receive an earful of nagging from Mrs. Cash for ignoring the needs of her VIP diners. Today wasn’t that perfect and smooth day, after all. With one last exhale, I grabbed the door knob and pushed it open, only to be met with those deep blue pairs of eyes I would rather not want to meet. Why was he outside the restroom? Where was his date? Did he leave her at the VIP hall upstairs, just to come see me? ‘Hey, Kaida. Don’t be delusional. Maverick would never.” I scolded myself inwardly, killing all other inner thoughts trying to sprout their roots in my mind and make me go crazy. I pa
KAIDA’S POVI had no intentions of letting Ember know what Maverick did.No matter how hard I thought about it, there wasn’t a single right in what he had done. Maverick had no fucking right to threaten Liam on our behalf.“Shit!” I took in my lower lips as my finger hovered the screen of my phone with Maverick’s number displayed on it.I wanted to call him to meet me at the park close to college, but I was running out of time for my next shift.Seconds turned into minutes and when I realized it was too late to call him, I turned off my phone and threw it into my pocket. “Let’s attend to our current job first.”I tied my hair into a lower bun, the tip touching the small of my back as I sprinted down the road to the restaurant across.It hasn’t been easy juggling two jobs coupled with studies, but I had to do it nonetheless.Reaching the restaurant, I pushed the entrance door open and a bell rang, indicating that someone just entered.“You’re here,” Naomi, a co-worker smiled at me from
