Her Temptation

Chapter 4

Maverick

After I met up with Mya, she could sense that I was stressed out. "Are you okay?"

"Not really."

"What's wrong?"

"I just found out that my ex-girlfriend is pregnant."

Mya raised her eyebrows. "Your child, I take it?"

"Yeah. But I'm the one who didn't prevent it I guess."

"You can't fully blame yourself, Maverick. It is slightly her fault as well."

"She said she was on the pill, and I believed her, but I guess that was a mistake on my behalf."

"Well, as you already know, I am here for you."

"Thank you."

"Is she at your apartment?"

"No."

"Well, I really have wanted to spend some alone time with you. Do you think we could make that happen?"

"Sure."

I paid for the bill, unaware of what would happen, but I had to keep my hands to myself.

Once we arrived at my apartment, I unlocked the door and went upstairs to get changed. "Make yourself at home. There's beer or wine in the fridge if you want some."

"Sure. Thanks."

I quickly got changed and came back downstairs, grabbing a Coors Light before entering the living room. "Anything you would like to watch?"

"I am flexible. Can't go wrong with James Wan films."

"I agree. Which one would you like to see?"

"Maybe the second Insidious?"

She nodded. "That sounds good."

Halfway through the movie, I felt her move closer to me and placed her hand on my thigh. "Maverick, I... I have been so nervous to do this, but I want to tell you something."

"Of course."

"I have been a die-hard fan of yours and honestly after we met, I felt that we really hit it off and I honestly feel like I could talk to you for hours without running out of anything to say."

"I enjoy your company as well, Mya."

"I just want to confess something."

"Which is?"

"I know you just got out of a relationship, but you seem kind, loving and someone who I see myself with. If that isn't too bold to say."

"It's fine."

"I don't want to be friends, Maverick."

"So, you are wanting to just skip to the good part?"

She nodded. "Yes."

"So, are you asking me to pop the question?"

"I am a bold person, Maverick and I just really want to be with you."

I knew that it was not a good idea jumping into another relationship right away but at the same time, I had nothing to lose. "Sure. So, I guess I should ask if you want to be my girlfriend?"

"Of course." She smiled and put her head on my shoulder. "You have no idea how long I've dreamt of this moment."

"Never dated a hockey player?"

"Nope."

"Well, I want to take things slow, considering everything going on with my ex."

"That is perfectly fine. I just hope this lasts and you know... you won't do things behind my back."

"I'm not the cheating type, Mya. I promise."

"Well good."

I knew it was wrong to get into another relationship after breaking up with Lexie, and hell, I hardly knew Mya but I had nothing to lose. I had the capability of taking my time in this relationship but the only thing that I question is how Lexie will respond when she finds out.
