    2 Little Mistake


    Maverick POV


    After the meeting, I head straight to my office. I know Connor will have more to say about Ruby but I


    have an important phone call so I am saved from his ball busting for now. I close the door and pick up


    the phone. It rings twice before my mother picks up. “Hello sweet boy.” “Hi mom, how are you feeling?”


    “You know you don’t need to call me at the same time every day if you’re busy.” “Don’t be ridiculous,


    you are more important than any meeting I could have.” Sheughs and I love that sound. My heart


    sinks with the thought that there coulde a time when I won’t be able to hear it. “How did your big


    meeting go? How is your new boss? Do you think she will be a good fit?” I start tough. “That’s a lot of


    questions at once. The meeting was good. She seems really intelligent and driven. She definitely isn’t


    just there because she is Stephen’s granddaughter.” “I guess your worries are put to rest then.” “Yes, I


    believe that she will be an asset to the team. Stephen will be able to enjoy his retirement.” “I’m d but


    I’m sure he wasn’t worried about you running things, Maverick.” I would like to believe that but I don’t


    want to focus on work right now. “Enough about work, I want to see how you are.” “Maverick, I have


    been in the hospital for a week. I’m not really that exciting. I’ve watched more game shows and soap


    operas than I care to admit. The meds are helping with the nausea and hopefully the chemo is helping


    with the cancer.” “Not hopefully, it is helping. You have to be positive. That is as important as the


    medicine, mom.”


    “When did they say you coulde home?” “They want me here for at least one more week and then I


    can go home.” “You mean you cane to my home.” “Maverick, I’m sure that Delh is not going to


    want me hanging around your apartment. Besides, I’m still capable of taking care of myself.” “Mom, first


    of all, that isn’t true. Delh loves having you around. Second of all, my apartment is big enough for you


    to have privacy and I will be able to keep an eye on you. If you get sick, I want to be there to help you.”


    Sheughs “that’s a mother’s job.” “Well, it’s my turn to return the favor after all the years you took such


    great care of me.” We talk for another twenty minutes about her favorite tv shows and the nurses love


    life’s at the hospital. Despite what she is going through, I can tell she is smiling and happy. When we


    hang up, I sit back in my chair. I hate that she has to be in the hospital for another week but I know it’s


    where she needs to be. I give myself the same talk I do every time I think about her being sick before I


    get back to work.


    I look at my watch and realize that it’s already five. I’m supposed to meet Connor for a drink before I


    head home. Delh has ns with her friends so I agreed to the drink. Actually, he didn’t give me any


    choice. I was happy to go home and veg out on the couch. I pack up my briefcase and head for the


    elevator. “Have a good night Mr. Colwell”, Jennifer, the floor secretary, says as I step onto the elevator.


    I nod and the elevator door closes. I’m thankful that she was behind the desk putting distance between


    us. She has asked me out several times despite me being very clear that I am not interested and very


    taken. I would never cheat on Delh. The door to the elevator opens and I spot Connor across the


    lobby talking to a woman, of course. He meets me by the door and we head out into the parking


    garage. As we head to my car, I notice the parking sign with Ruby Sce written on it. Connor notices


    at the same time. “The next time I ask you about a woman and you tell me she is capable when she


    looks like that woman does” he says, pointing to the sign. “I’m taking your man card. I’m not sure if you


    realize this, but taken doesn’t mean dead, Maverick.”


    Iugh as I throw my briefcase on the back seat. “Get the hell in before I change my mind.” I slide into


    the driver’s seat of my car and Connor gets into the passenger’s seat. Before he can say anymore, I


    turn the radio on and pull out of my spot. “What bar are you dragging me to?” He smiles and I have a


    feeling I’m not going to like the answer. “The Den” he says and I grip the steering wheel. “That is not a


    bar. It is a night club with girls dancing in cages.” “They have a VIP lounge and there are no girls


    dancing in there. We can have a few drinks and then your boring a** can go home.” “Fine, a couple


    drinks and then I’m going home.” I drive to the club I’ve only been to on one other asion. It is


    packed and as we make our way across the floor I realize why I have onlye here once. People are


    packed on the floor and I try to dodge women who are trying to rub against me. Connor, of course, is in


    his glory dancing with every willing woman. We finally make it to the VIP section.


    Connor leans into the bouncer and ps his hand for a shake. I’m sure giving him an obscene amount


    of money to get in. He pulls the rope back and we head up a red carpeted set of stairs. A woman who


    is barely wearing a dress leads us over to an area with couches. We both take a seat and order a drink.


    There is plexi ss allowing the VIP section to see the dance floor. It’s a sea of people and I’m so


    grateful to be in VIP right now. The waitress returns and hands me my Manhattan. “Is there anything


    else I can do for you gentlemen” she says in her most seductive voice. I shoot a re at Connor before


    he can answer. He looks back at her, “no sweetheart, we’re good.” She walks away and he sulks as I


    sip on my drink. “You’re a terrible wingman.” “Yes I am”, I say andugh. After I finish my first drink, I’m


    feeling more rxed and slightly buzzed. I sit back just watching the people dance until my eyesnd


    on something that immediately sobers me up. “What the hell is wrong with you”, Connor asks, as I


    stand so I can see the dance floor better.


    I point and when he looks I know I’m right as the blood drains from his face. I don’t even think as I start


    to walk toward the stairs. “Maverick, be calm. Maybe there’s a perfectly good exnation for your


    fiance grinding on some random dude.” I turn “shut the f**k up right now Connor.” I take the stairs two


    at a time and manage to weave through the bodies until I reach the woman that is supposed to be my


    future wife dancing with some a**hole. I take a breath before I tap her on the shoulder. When we make


    eye contact she freezes. She tries to unwind herself from her dance partner, but I don’t want to hear


    what she has to say right now. I turn heading back toward Connor. When I reach him he has sympathy


    in his expression. I turn back toward the VIP area without a word to him. Once I walk past the bouncer I


    can hear Delh screaming my name. I turn back and the bouncer is stopping her from following me.


    “Is she with you sir” he asks me. I look at this woman that I love. “No, she is with some a**hole on the


    dance floor.” “Maverick, please I’m sorry we were just dancing. Please don’t do this. I love you.”


    Everything in me wants to believe that she drank too much and it was just dancing, but what would


    have happened if I hadn’t been here tonight? I turn and make my way back up the stairs and sit down


    in the same chair. I g the waitress down and order another drink. I have no intention of getting sh*t


    faced but I need another drink before I go home.


    “I’m heading home, Connor. Do you want me to drop you off?” “Maybe you shoulde to my ce


    tonight. She probably will be there when you get home.” “No, it’s my apartment. I’m going home and


    going to bed. We have an early day tomorrow.” We both head for the stairs and I pray she isn’t here


    and ready to make a scene. I’m grateful when we leave VIP and the crowd has died down. We head to


    my car and I pull up at Connor’s apartment building. “Are you sure you want to deal with her tonight?”


    He really is a good guy. “I’m good, I’ll see you bright and early.” He closes the door and I pull away. The


    drive home I rey the scene over and over in my mind which does nothing to improve my mood. I pull


    into the parking garage for ourplex and notice that her car isn’t in its usual spot. I don’t know


    whether to be happy about that or not. My mind goes to the fact that she could be with that a**hole. I


    shake those thoughts away and head for the elevator. I push the button for my floor.


    I turn the key in my door and once I’m inside I don’t even turn the lights on. I head down the hallway to


    my room. As soon as I open the door I stop dead. Delh is passed out on the bed. I take a deep


    breath before I head inside and grab pajamas out of my drawer. I grab a suit for tomorrow and head to


    the guest room down the hall. I don’t think I have ever been this angry in my life. After I’m showered


    and dressed, I slide into bed. I set my phone rm andy there staring at the ceiling. How the hell did


    everything go to sh*t in one night? I turn over and sleep finally takes me under.

    The Dream


    I’m sitting at my desk in the office when I hear the door open. When I look up, the biggest wolf I have


    ever seen is sitting in front of me. I expect to feel fear but I don’t. I stand walking around my desk until


    I’m just a foot from the wolf. Sheys down and I notice how beautiful her fur is. It is chocte brown


    and looks like silk. I have to stop myself from reaching out to touch it. The wolf whimpers and our eyes


    meet. She has beautiful green eyes that send a shiver down my spine. I take a breath before I start to


    reach out my hand.


    Dream Ends


    A banging brings me out of the most vivid dream I’ve ever had. I sit up and realize that Delh is


    screaming for me to open the door. I walk over “enough Delh. I have to get ready for work. I will talk


    to youter.” “Maverick please” she pleads with me. “No, I can’t talk to you right now. I’m going to get


    ready for work.” I pick up my clothes and head for the bathroom. Once I’m ready, I take a deep breath


    before I open the door and head for the kitchen. She rushes in and starts to try to exin what


    happened. I don’t respond and once I have my coffee, I walk past her. I head through the living room


    and she follows me. “Maverick, please don’t throw everything we have built away because I made a


    little mistake. It was just dancing.” I stop and turn around, looking into her eyes. “You and I have a very


    different idea of what constitutes a little mistake. I told you, we will discuss this after I get home from


    work.” She drops her head and I leave before I say something I will regret.
