Chapter 10 - Officially Married

It felt like the first time to wear silk pajamas and inside of it felt so soft. They are wearing matching pajamas and since she's on her period they can't have their first. It's also his first to have sex with an actual girl. Some women only thought of him as a sex material because he's good-looking and has a nice body. But Victoria looked sincere and she cuddled him which he wanted most.

"V," He called her softly.

"Yes?"

"I lost my job. But don't worry, Caleb already offered me something."

She reached his hand and traced the calluses on it.

"You are a very hard-working man, and I don't ask anything else." She told him as comfort and it's what she wanted.

"We are married and I don't want to slack off."

"You can be a househusband instead." She grinned.

"V, I don't want to stay like that."

"Well, you have to help me arrange things. Take Caleb's offer for a few days. How about that?"

"Oh—okay…"

"Tomorrow is Friday and on Saturday, I'll tour you around and show you the nearest grocery store. We can go shopping too."

"Sure…"

"And we'll visit my grandma in the hospital. I only peeked at her a while ago. She might be lonely."

"What would your grandma say about us?"

"Don't worry, I'll handle it. But I'll tell her once that she's feeling good."

She yawned and snuggled to his chest.

"I'm so tired and happy today."

"Me too." He kissed her forehead and caressed her hair until she fell asleep.

Kenzo felt uneasy at the moment. What would happen if he met her grandmother. What would she do? What would she say? At the moment, Kenzo didn't want to think about it but it was bugging. He tried to shrug it off and he wanted to sleep with her peacefully in this comfortable bed.

She woke up just right on time when her alarm clock buzzed. Her husband isn't on the bed. Maybe he's somewhere. She went to the bathroom and washed her face and her mouth and pee. Then, she readied her clothes to wear and the things that she needed. She went to the kitchen and found him making breakfast. It smelled famishing. She thought that she's going to eat in the office but her husband just made breakfast for her.

"Warm water as you like." He said and gave it to her. She smiled and sipped on her favorite mug.

"So, I make sunny side up and ham and bacon. I don't know what you like for breakfast so I make a few of it."

"I eat anything." She smiled. "Except for bitter gourds."

He pulled a chair for her and kissed her forehead.

"I'll serve you, my Queen."

Victoria blushed. No one ever called her that but herself. Finally, a man makes her feel important. She will completely fall in love with him in a very short time.

"Thank you."

"You don't have to thank me always."

He served her first before he sat down to eat with her. She started eating with a happy heart. She was sure that she'll leave the office with a big grin plastered on her face. They eat happily. And it's the first time that she had a breakfast like this. Happy and not anxious. He washes the dishes and waits for her to have a bath and dress up.

"Ken, can you please turn on the car to the machine?"

"Okay." He took the car keys and went to the garage.

He turned on her car and even cleaned it inside and vacuumed it. He would always do that to her. And if he would become rich, which he wouldn't think would happen, he would have lots of butlers and maids to serve her.

He cleaned it up and took her things and put them in the backseat. Then, he turned off the car. He went back inside to upstairs and she's putting her lipstick on without any eyeshadow. She already looked beautiful without any thick makeup.

"Don't impress too many guys… you already have a husband." He teased. She chuckled and put her lipstick on her dresser. She approached him and hugged his waist.

"You are mine and I am yours… I won't let anyone touch me but you." She told him, more like a vow.

"Good to know." He bent down and kissed her lips.

"I will leave now or I might get late."

He took her bag and escorted her downstairs. He opened the car for her and watched her leave. Then, he closed the gate and started with cleaning things and unboxing a few items, and organized it. He even turned on the music. He's happy to have a house like this even though it's not his. But she told him that it's already his house too since they are married.

He went to her library and she has her desktop. He set it up and checked the books. Lots of learning stuff and about business stuff. He had a few books that he borrowed from Caleb and studied on them during the night. Now, he was happy that he had more than one reference.

Maverick slept under the bridge. Last night went crazy. He noticed men that would go after him so he always wore a mask. This time, he started walking again to find something to eat or to find Kenzo to ask for help. He put on his hood and cap as he kept walking on the busy street of the city. He went to the convenience store and bought 500 ml water and a sandwich. Then, he continued walking around to find a job.

He decided to go to the club where Caleb always stays and he walked and then, his shoes gave up, opening like a hungry man like him. It made a big hole and the damn thing didn't keep up with him. He waited around the bar until in the afternoon. He nearly fell asleep too. However, it's already night and there are a lot of people coming and out. He decided to leave and went to the ally on the other side to sleep. He hugged his bag and made sure that it was close to him.

"Mave?" A familiar voice caught his attention.

He looked up at the man and Caleb sighed. He pulled him up.

"What the fuck man? Why didn't you call me?!" Caleb scowled.

He quickly stood and bowed his head.

"How long have you been sleeping in the streets?" Caleb asked.

He exhaled.

"I am fine with sleeping in the streets. But it's not fine not to have a job."

"You can always call me!" Caleb scolded him again, feeling infuriated to himself.

"Battery is dead and the keypads aren't working," Maverick said. Caleb became more exasperated. He calmed himself and looked at him softly.

"Man, we are friends. You and Kenzo are the only real friends that I know."

"Uh, where's Kenzo?" He asked, curious about what happened to the guy.

"He's with his wife… well, let's go. I need you to eat first. I'll let you stay in my place. I still have a spare room."

"Caleb, I~~I promise to pay you."

"Hey, don't say a thing for a while. Let's go now." Caleb pulled him to his car and opened it for him.

Caleb drove on the drive true and ordered him food that he wanted. Maverick eats like he's never been fed for days. Caleb felt bad for not checking up on his brother. When he reached home, he stopped the car first seeing her father's car and Samara's.

"Shit!"

"What's wrong?" Maverick asked.

"Sorry, bro." Caleb immediately pulled out. "I can't bring you there."

Maverick drove out of the subdivision to a different place. But it's a thirty minutes drive. Soon, they reached another house. He took him in and let pulled him.

Caleb knocked on the door and it opened. The first thing that Maverick saw is a beautiful lady wearing her robe. She looked familiar too.

"Stace!" Caleb cried dramatically.
