8 The Green Monster Took Over

Things were working out well with the couple, although it all happened so fast, she had no complains, he was her first after all. On the other hand, Maverick is still having problems with a crazy stalking ex of his. He doesn't want Queshia to ever know of this just yet. This obsessed girl even followed them to the places they go for theirs dates or hangouts like going to a worship place, she watched them from not so faraway. Queshia trusted him too much to even notice his word actions just to let her avoid his ex, like going to the comfort room once in a while to warn his ex of coming near them, he didn't trust on Queshia's feelings towards him that much, he didn't know that Queshia could handle those kind of issues, let alone a skimpy girl! She have knocked out a man before, what could a skimpy girl do to her? But nonetheless, she never knew that she was being stalked by a crazy woman - disadvantage of not caring about her surroundings, but Maverick already taught her to always be wary of that people and happenings around her.

"After all that we've been through? You ended it with just because of ONE mistake? Please come back to me? I still love you...so much..." says Lenny - the crazy stalker. Maverick is simply like that, one wrong move he didn't like, her ends their relationship. He's a jealous man because of the women he treated seriously cheated on him, that's why he became so controlling. This particular lady, he caught with his own eyes that she was giving her number to a guy older than her - she was older than Maverick by a year. After what he saw, he beat the crap out of that guy and ended with Lenny.

He received another text, but from a different woman, Rika, his ex after Lenny, also trying to get back together with him, she's the third girl he treated seriously as a girlfriend, and sadly he caught her with a guy at an amusement park. After that, he played with girls like they have no feelings, he never treated anyone seriously, not until Queshia. But he doesn't realize that yet, he thinks that he's still playing with her, that's why he accepted Rika's message that she's be coming over to his house, his parents even thought that they are still together, not knowing that there is a Queshia on the equation. He kept his guard up, not wanting to get hurt, but on the process, he's been hurting Queshia, and these worst part is, he doesn't realize it.

Queshia thought that he's just busy that's why she's not receiving any texts or calls from him, so she decided to learn to cook his favorite dish and was going to give him the next day. Hey parents were even teasing her that she's sick - she doesn't cook at home, and yet she's cooking with a smile on her face, not knowing that right at that moment, Maverick was with his ex - that his parents doesn't know that they're over already, watching the comedy, "The Dictator" until midnight, and even played her a song entitled "Let Me be the One" with his guitar.

After dinner, Queshia was about to sleep, so she texted him goodnight.

"Hmm...are you asleep yet? haven't heard from you for awhile...goodnight! Sleepwell! I love you..."

Maverick called right after he read there's message.

"Actually no...my ex came over...she wanted to sleepover, but I refused" he then explained what they did.

"Oh...ok...thanks for letting need know then..." not feeling jealous because she's trusted him.

"You're not jealous? My parents think that we're still together, our parents know each other, she's just near our house, well sort of..."

"Do you...want me to be?" she asked confused, it's her first time after all...

"Yes! It shows that you really care...I'd like you to stake claim on me...like you want me to be only yours..." he reasoned

"Oh ok...well I guess it did get me a little upset that you didn't even text me...did you enjoy that much that you forgot about me?" the Green Monster is slowly taking over her.

"No...I was waiting for you to call or text me...I'm sorry for being a d*ck, I just wanted you to know that if I were you I'd really be jealous as hell...I wanted to know you care so much about me..."

"Well I do hope that never happens again..."

They talked until they fell asleep. Queshia was too ignorant, but she wasn't stupid enough not to know that he might be cheating on her, but she's still hoping he'd change for the better...for her. She wanted the bad boy to fall for her completely.

The next day she waited at a garden near their room to wait for Maverick to pass by. When she saw him he gave him the dish she cooked.

"Uhm...here...I had nothing to do...so I cooked your favorite...I...I just wanted to give it to you before you go to class...goodluck! bye! see you later!"

"Thanks...I'll let my parents taste this later! bye!" She was dumbfounded, she felt a little nervous because she didn't know if he would like the taste, let alone his parents!

The day went on like always, they'd eat together, go to their classes, go home and text or call each other. Maverick told her that his parents liked her cooking.
