Caring husband II

Snooze* Snooze* Snooze*

The alarm was so frustrating and Addison could not even tolerate the noise. It was distracting her beauty sleep,that is what she always said. She believed that she ofcourse had to work but she did not believe that bosses had to wake up as early as their servants.

She stretched her hands from within the blanket and grabbed the alarm at the bedside table. She then swung it towards the wall in anger and the alarm broke into peices. Izara was at the bathroom having her shower when she had the shattering sound of something. She sighed then shook her head.

She disliked how tempered and spoilt that little brat was and her patience towards her behavior was starting to wear off.

She finished her bath then did her oral care before stepping out of the bathroom. She found the girl sitted on the bed,her eyes glued on the tablet before her.

"Morning..."she greeted her sweetly with a warm smile on as she walked to the closet. Addison got off the bed and hugged her from behind. She sniffed in to the rose scented soap she washed her body with then smiled.

"Morning beautiful...I love how you smell,"she spoke seductively as she reached her hand on Izara's mountain peak on her chest.

"What was that shattering sound for?"Izara asked calmly though she had seen the alarm remains.

Addison rolled up her eyes before talking.

"It was nothing really..just the alarm,"she spoke then placed a kiss on her cheeks. Izara could not believe how she spoke like the alarm meant nothing. Like seriously she loved the alarm and Addison new it. The alarm had a model that reminded her of her sister,Calista. It had a cat face and was white in color,just an exact copy of her younger sister's alarm.

"It's nothing you say!...Addison,"she could not even bring her self to say anything more.

Addison sighed inwardly. She ofcourse knew that her girlfriend loved the alarm but it was being a pisser and she did not mean to break it. And why on her name was she getting mad because of an alarm!!

"I did not mean to break it babe..."she defended herself. She sounded really sorry but Izara did not know whether she was really sorry or just putting on an act. The thing was, Addison did as she pleased without caring how others felt and she hated it.

"But you did anyways Addy...why do you always and always do as you please without any care. You know that was the only thing that makes me feel closer to my sister even though she is not.You just broke it because it was a pisser for a moment!!"she could not hold her anger back and never in her life had she been good at it. She was not like Calista and she could never be. She believed in airing out her feelings and not tame them.

"Am sorry babe...I will buy you a new one,"Addison spoke trying to easen the tensed up mood and besides,she really hated it when Izara got mad at her.

"You are not sorry Addison. You have never been sorry. You are saying it just because you have to but in real sense you are not sorry at all,"Izara spoke then broke free from Addison's hold and began walking towards the closet.

Addison gave up in asking for forgiven. That is one of her weakness. She was so impatient and intolerant atimes.

"Why are you making it a big deal Skylar? I bought the alarm with my money. It's not like it's yours!"she blurted out of anger.

That was it. Somehow,Izara had expected that. She halted in her step and turned to her. She moved closer and looked at her in the eye. She then left and continued walking towards the closet.

Addison did not know what to think or what to say more. She knew that she had overstepped her boundaries. She did not mean to say that but it just came out and she really did not know what to do.

She wanted to follow her and apologize but something held her back. She sighed silently and went back to the bed and sat on it.

"It seems like this will be one hell of a day!"she muttered as she laid back on the bed.

At the Atlas Mansion,

Calista stretched her hands sleepily as she yawned loudly. She hit her hand while stretching.

Calista sat on the bed in pain while holiday out her hand.

"Ouch..."she cried silently and began blowing air on it. She was in pain and her hand was red. It was the effect of the burn.

Maverick stepped into the bathroom fully dressed. He saw her blowing on her hand and walked towards her.

"What happened? How did you hurt yourself?"he bombered her with the questions as he sat beside her on the bed.

He blew some air on the wound. Calista smiled.

They were not real lovers and he was being so loving towards her.

'Addison is lucky for having such a loving and caring husband!'she mused in her head. Her eyes softened as she looked at him. Her sparkling eyes were replaced with sadness all of a sudden. He did not belong to her and he could never belong to her. He was Addison's and he had also accepted that fully.

"Calista!?"he called,bringing her back to reality. She cleared her throat not knowing if he had asked another question or it was the same.

"I hit my hand with the headrest,"she spoke with courage though she did not know if she was answering right.

"Do you have to stretch yourself that much?"he asked looking at her angrily,to Calista's confusion.

It's not like it was necessary for him to look after her if he was getting annoyed by her pain...or is it that he did not like it that she was in pain?

Calista could not help wondering. She was somehow happy that maybe...just maybe,he was angry because he cared for her.

But about stretching,that was reflexive and not like she planned on doing that and hurt her herself.

Maverick stood from where he sat and carried her from the bed.

"Let's help you take a bath then have breakfast. I will call Kim to check on you later,"he spoke as he was walking towards the bathroom.

Calista frowned while looking at him.

'Help me take a bath?... Impossible!'she mused in her head though she did not know even how she would manage alone.

And how was she even going to do her oral care with her hand hurting that much!?

"You seem like you were going somewhere. You are all dressed up,"she stated her observation and when they got to the bathroom.

"Yeah. I have a meeting at the office but I will ask them to postpone it to tomorrow,"he spoke as he took off his jacket suit.

It seems like he was just very ready to help her with the bath.

"Why should you do that?..."she asked innocently. She seriously did not see any reason for him to postpone the meeting just to help her shower. And there are maids who could help her do that.

"You talk too much you know..."he commented but his voice sounded with annoyance abit.

"Is a bad thing or a good thing?"she asked with a smile on. Maverick just looked at her but said nothing. She could be stubborn atimes and the earlier he got used to it the better for both of them!

"Will you take that off or should I help you?"he asked pointing at her white nightie. She was glad it was not transparent and she was well covered by it otherwise he would have seen how his voice and touch was doing to her.

"Take what off?"she asked as though she did not understand what he was referring to. He must be crazy if he thought she would undress before him! Never would she do that!

Maverick frowned.

Was she trying to act dumb!? It did not suit her then if she was.

"Planning to have your bath with that on or should I take it off as well?"he asked moving closer.

Calista took two steps back.

"I can do that Maverick and I can take my bath as well so you don't have to worry. You can go to work otherwise you will be late,"she blabbered since he looked hell bent on helping her and she was not comfortable.

Maverick smiled at how childishly she was reacting. It was like she was afraid of him and and it was not such a bad scene to behold.

"I cannot let do this yourself wifey..."

"Then ask the maids to come help me..,"she interupted him before he could finish his statement.

Maverick narrowed his gaze at her then walked towards the door without a word.

"Kim will check on you later and get ready to leave in the evening,"he spoke without looking back at her.
