"This your face?" She asked and the man nodded.Maverick wasted no time in leaning in the dark to capture her lips in a fiery kiss making the dainty woman gasp slightly. The moon shone brightly that night as it reflected in the hospital room. Beneath the shining moon were two couples madly in love with each other were sharing a passionate kiss.Maverick's hand pulled his wife's body closer and as if he was discontented, his hand that was staying on her cheeks went to her neck tilting her head slightly. Not too much that it would give the woman a migraine but as much so he could gain more access to her lips.The woman however felt her hand go to the depth of her husband's hair. She moaned lightly against his lips with her eyes tightly closed. Her other hand was hanging on his shoulder while the hand in Maverick's hair played with the strands of his hair.Maverick slowly carried the woman off the bed and she complied since her leg wasn't working or so she believed. He guided her limp le
"What are you doing?" He asked shaking the bowl in his hand at Avery."Have your food. I'll go and request another bed." She replied instead and turned around walking towards the door. "Why do you want to look for another bed?" Maverick asked from behind her making her pause to turn around to look at him."We're two. The bed is one." "I know."The woman stared at him as if he had grown two more heads. If he knew there was just one bed, why was he stopping her from going to request another bed?"We can manage this.""I'm not sleeping with you on the same bed. Especially one as small as that.""We used to sleep on the same bed back at home." He retorted."I don't remember that.""Come over here. Ramon said if you visited places that you've been to, it might trigger your memory. Come and lie down here, you'll see you'll remember something."'I guess he's not lying since I've been having fragments of my memories.' She thought."What are you thinking about?" "Nothing.""It's not nothing
AVERY"I never imagined spending Christmas in the hospital," I said with a sigh. Maverick patted my head in response and I let out another defeated sigh."Don't you have a gift for me?" I asked turning to him with a smile on my face."A gift?" He asked and I nodded my head. We were both sitting on the couch facing the window. It was night time so the sky was covered with a thick blanket of unending darkness but the snow was falling rapidly.It's been a week since I woke up. I was fit to go home but Maverick says I should stay here for two weeks more before we returned home. I have one week left to spend in this hospital. Not that I'm complaining!"Oh, that's right. You don't celebrate Christmas. How did I forget that?" I mumbled before I faced forward."Do you want a gift?" He asked and I turned my face to him."Why? You would get it for me?" I asked and he raised a brow."It's fine if you don't want it." He muttered turning his head away. I grabbed his face before he could turn it fu
AVERY"What are you doing?" I asked stretching my neck to look at the papers in his hand."Just work." He replied marking a part of the paper with a red marker. He was sitting on the couch with papers sitting around him and on the table in front of him."Can I help? I'm so bored in this hospital room! There's nothing to do! No TV, no phone, no game, nothing!" I sighed throwing my arms up."You can't look at screens for a while.""So you insist," I mumbled to myself in annoyance. "It's for your own good." He replied having heard what I mumbled. I nodded my head and let out another sigh."Here. You can help me choose the gifts." He suggested handing me an iPad."What gifts?" I asked taking it from him. On the screen was a picture of an Apple PC."The new year's annual festival.""Who's holding it?" I asked excitedly."Me.""You're holding a festival?" I asked in disbelief."Why? Can't I hold a festival?" He asked finally looking up at me."Sorry, but you can't. You're not the fun type.
AVERYHowever, before I could say another word, a cold voice echoed in the room knocking the words out of my head."What's going on here?" I turned my head in the direction of the door to see Maverick standing there with a murderous gaze directed at something between me and Ramon.I looked back at what he was staring at to see he was glaring at the tissue paper on Ramon's lips. I shifted back like I had been burned before my eyes looked back to Maverick."Mave..." Ramon started getting up on his feet but he was shut up by a glare from Maverick."Maverick..." His eyes turned over to me and I wished for the ground to open up and swallow me whole.Whatever words I wanted to say vanished from my head and formed a lump in my throat. His eyes fixated on mine and I couldn't bring myself to look away."Maverick, I can explain." He said nothing more as his eyes washed over Ramon and then me. He marched over and grabbed me by the hand. He threw another glare at Ramon before he stormed out of
MAVERICK'Can we talk?' I stared at the message on my phone. It was from Ramon. My eyes went up to the time to see it was 11:00 pm. Avery was long asleep in my arms while I worked on the festival.I debated whether to send him a reply or ignore the message like I didn't see it. Avery muttered a few words and then went back to her sleeping. I fixated my eyes on her face and a ghost of a smile came up to my face. Slowly, I reached out to move the strand of hair from her face and my eyes darted to her slightly parted pink lips. Her eyelashes cast a shadow on her cheekbone and her button-like nose stayed there peacefully releasing a few breaths accompanied by sounds."Yet she argues that she doesn't snore..." I mumbled pressing the bridge of her nose. She raised her hand to swat my hand away before she turned face away, out of my view. I dropped my phone and turned her head back so I could see her face and she grumbled in annoyance turning her face back."Stubborn even in her sleep." My
MAVERICK His hands tightened around the Swiss knife while he glared at me. His eyes were black, I noticed and I could see his skin was white. A strand of his hair stuck out of his cap showing off his strawberry blonde hair. I saw a movement in his muscles and I immediately leaped out of my place. He crashed into the wall and I wasted no time in running to him. I attacked him from behind while he tried to cut me with the knife. He grunted and tried to free himself from my hand pinning his hand to his back. I hit his wrist making the Swiss knife fall with a clattering sound. I looked down to kick the knife away when he pushed the wall with his leg taking charge of the fight. A kick to my stomach made me go tumbling to the corner of the room. I looked up in anger to see a slight movement in his mask. Is he smirking right now? "You bastard!" I yelled picking up the pace and I slammed my elbow into his face. He fell to the ground and pulled me along with him. I turned him over and sat
MAVERICK As soon as the men saw me, they stood up straight. However, Ramon was either asleep or he was ignoring my presence. Nevertheless, I walked over to him and kicked his foot making him lose his footing. He grabbed my arm and steadied himself before looking up at my face. Guess he was really sleeping. He blinked at me and I nodded my head in the direction of the elevator. "Go home if you want to sleep." "I wasn't sleeping." He replied rolling his eyes. He straightened his jacket and leaned off the wall. I nodded my head and walked in the direction of the elevator. "So go on then. Tell me." "What? You're making it sound like a bedtime story." I mumbled pressing the button to the door of the elevator. "It's kinda like a story but nonetheless, tell me." I looked at his face and let out a defeated sigh. I explained to him the whole plan and at the end of it, he simply nodded his head. I nodded in response and stepped into the car. "See you tomorrow." "Hm." I hummed softly.
