152 Sugar plum – Candy floss

If Jeslyn had done the same thing he did with Vera, the guy would have long forgotten he once lived

on earth.

I want a Piggyback, my legs are aching.” Jeslyn only wanted to test him. She thought he would rather carry her bridal style than lower himself in front of her. Much to her amazement, he stopped walking and went down for her to get on his back.

This was too realistically unrealistic! She couldn’t believe that Maverick of all people would be this lovely towards his woman. Jeslyn was happy, so happy that her joy rubbed on Maverick and he set aside his worries for a while.

“Sugar plum, I’d be extremely happy to have our baby but not right now,” she kissed his head.

Maverick was dazed for a moment. Not because of what she said but because of what she called him-

sugar plum. Little Rossa used to call him that because he gave her lots of sugar plums back then on the island.

Vera also called him that on that first night. Although he was heavily drugged and wasn’t in his right senses, he knew he slept with a young lady. She was desperate, just like him and she called him Sugar plum several times throughout their ordeal. 3

However, when morning came, Vera was beside him, naked. He asked her to call him the name again but Vera couldn’t. She said she didn’t remember calling him that.

“Sugar plum?” He asked.

“Ah, that… I’ll call you that from now on.”

“Why?”

“Why not? They are sweet, and so are you.”

Maverick smiled. Rossa did say that too. ‘Why not? They are sweet, and so are you!

“You are too… candy floss.”

Jeslyn laughed out loud after hearing that. “Really? Can Mr. Maverick say such things too? You’ll be laughed at if you call me pet names in front of your friends.”
