97-Thiago! oh Dear!
Lv.1
I have been sitting in the academy and it’s been a few hours already. I tried calling Maynard many times but couldn’t connect to him.
‘Just call him one more time,’ Nia had been in pain, she wanted her mate to contact her and let her know there is nothing sketchy going on so that she can be at peace.
‘I have called him twenty times already. If he were to attend any of the calls, he would have done it already.’ I grunted at her even when it wasn’t her fault that my mate was acting up.
‘Just one more time,’ she requested and I couldn’t ignore it anymore. I was aware of the pain she was feeling and it was beginning to make me worried for her.
I dialed his number with my heart racing inside my chest. I was praying he attends the call and thankfully, he finally did.
“Maynard!” the moment I said his name, Nia felt alive.
“Yeah! I am sorry I have been busy. I am just driving back and will be there with you in a few minutes,” he sounded casual like there was nothing he needed to explain to me first.
“You spent the entire day ignoring me and my calls,” I was holding back the urge to ask him about that girl. It was like I was afraid if I ask him he will say something that will break my heart.
“I am so sorry about that. I will be back and then we can talk,” he sounded very down, making me more worried than ever now.
He hung up on me because he was driving so I couldn’t really get mad at him for that. I stayed sitting in the academy in cold. I haven’t even eaten anything after he left with her, I didn’t get a single minute of rest.
“You heard him, he is coming back soon,’ I told her to calm her down but she was acting weird. It was like she couldn’t forget that he took the girl with him in the car.
After that, we waited for another hour and he still didn’t return.
“He called me,”
I was startled by the voice from behind me. It was Lazlo wearing a black long coat and holding a sweater for me. He had some other stuff in his hands but I didn’t pay attention to it.
“I spoke to him too. He said he will be back in a minute,” I replied, turning my face back at focusing on the door.
I thought maybe Lazlo was trying to make me feel some type of way by suggesting Maynard spoke to him instead of me.
“Actually, I spoke to him just a few minutes ago. He told me he had spoken to you and had told you that he will arrive in a few minutes. But then he called me and said his car broke down and his cellphone is out of battery too. He wanted me to inform you to not wait for him as he will be late,” Lazlo didn’t sound too excited to steal this chance. He sounded more like he was feeling bad for me.
I was just amazed Maynard could have called me instead but no! he decided to let Lazlo know only.
“He could have called me,” I said under my breath, pinching my fingers nervously.
