Italian Obsession

Chapter 112

Callie

Shock was an understatement when Maverick told me what he had planned. "You're buying an engagement ring for her?"

"I love her, Callie."

"Mav, she hasn't spoken to you ever since you guys got back."

"Yeah, I am aware. Thanks for shoving that in my face."

"I'm not shoving it in your face, I just don't want for you to get your hopes up and it doesn't work out."

"Did she at least explain things to you?"

"Not really. Besides thinking that you'd cheat on her, that's about it."

"I would never!"

"I've told her that."

"I think that it's rude to ignore me."

"I agree but you sure make good choices when it comes to women."

"Look, I know things are going to change for me once the baby comes, but Mya is different from the others, Callie. I love her and I want to show her that."

"You need to prove that to her."

"Why do I need to prove something? I haven't done anything!"

"Well, she thinks so."

"She's overthinking, that's the problem."

"What are you going to do?"

"I don't know, Cal."

"Talking to her is the only possible solution."

"Did she go home?"

"No."

"Where did she go?"

"She said that she was going to Cam's after he got home, whoever that is."

"Cam as in my teammate?"

"I have no idea."

"Well, thanks for letting me know." I left my sister's and drove to Cam's apartment hoping for the best. I knocked on the door and the moment Cam looked at me, I knew he was guilty. "Umm... Hey."

"Is Mya here?"

"Cam, who's at the..."

The moment she looked at me, her smile faded. "Mav, w-what are you doing here?"

"What is going on here?"

"Mav, I..."

"Shut up, Mya. I am speaking to Cam right now." I glared at him, noticing the guilt on his face. "What the hell is wrong with you? I thought you were my best friend!"

"Mav, shit happens. It was nothing to me but... I just didn't think about it. I'm sorry."

"That's all you can say is sorry?"

I looked at Mya and scowled. "I wanted to come and explain myself, but it seems like I have no reason to."

"Maverick, you cheated! What do you expect?"

"I have never cheated on anyone, Mya."

"Well, what about Lexie?"

"What about her?"

"She's having YOUR kid!"

"And you seemed okay with it when I told you. But overall, that is our business."

"You're my boyfriend, Maverick! How can you involve yourself with two women?"

"You know what? I have no reason to explain anything to you because it is now crystal clear that you aren't as loyal as you've said."

"Mav, wait! It's not what it looks like!"

I looked at her bare legs and the oversized t-shirt that she wore. "I am not stupid, Mya. Sorry I ruined your night."

Ignoring Mya's pleas, I got in my car and drove back to my apartment, beyond pissed. "Maverick, what's wrong?"

"I need you and Tyler to be at my house. Now."

"Be there soon, dude."

By the time Tyler and Dale got to my apartment, I already had a glass of whiskey finished. "What the hell is going on?"

"I went to Cam's."

"For?"

"He chose to sleep with my girlfriend."

"What the hell?"

"I just don't get it. Like, I'm planning on buying her a ring and everything and..."

"A ring?"

"I love her, Dale but... at this point, it seems pointless."

"I'm sorry, I wish we could do something to cheer you up."

"It's whatever."

I heard my phone ring and saw Mya's number on my screen. "Are you going to answer that?"

Shaking my head, I hit the decline button and grabbed the Crown Royal bottle to pour some more in my glass. "Do you really think that alcohol will help?"

"Maybe for a little bit."

"Look, heartbreak sucks but shit happens for a reason. She missed out on being with a great guy and I'm sure she will regret it for a long time."

"She fucking better regret it."

"But I need to get some sleep. We have a game tomorrow."

"See you in the morning?"

"Yep."

After Tyler and Dale left, I felt beyond pissed. I deep down had future plans with Mya, but now that she betrayed my trust, things will be completely different.
