Italian Obsession

Chapter 117

Mya

The moment Maverick came inside, I couldn't tell if he was sad or angry.

"You, okay?"

"I'm fine."

"No, you aren't. Talk to me, babe."

"I... I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"Not believing you."

"It's okay."

"No, it's not."

"I promise it is okay."

"If you say so, Mya."

"Look, I can understand why you don't believe me because, well... we both know why but I promised you that it wouldn't happen again, remember?"

"Callie wanted me to give you this."

He reached into his pocket and handed me the engagement ring. "Where did she find it?"

"In the bathroom."

"See? I didn't lie to you."

He nodded. "I know."

"I can't wait to marry you, Mav."

"Someday, Mya."

"Oh, I know."

"It's just a matter of when."

"I hope soon."

"You'll have to find out."

"I know."

"I have another surprise for you by the way."

"Really? What's that?"

He grabbed a bag out of the closet and handed it to me. "Happy birthday, babe."

"Oh my god, you didn't!"

"You've always been my number one fan."

"Thank you so much! When did you get this?"

"I've had it for a few months, but I figured giving you a game-worn one would be better."

"It is! Thanks babe!"

"Of course."

"I'm going to be sad when you leave."

"I know, but it will only be a few games a week."

"Where are you guys going first?"

"New York."

"That's so far away."

"I know, but I'm sure Callie will keep you occupied."

"Are you sure I can't go with you?"

"Yeah, I'm sure."

"Come on, I'm sure your teammates are able to bring their wives or girlfriends."

"No they don't."

"You really won't consider it?"

"I can't."

Mya began to pout, slightly reminding me of Lexie. "That's not fair."

"Life isn't fair."
