"Popcorn, please."Maya stretched, picking up the red bowl filled with the snack and passing it over to Gab. Her eyes were focused on the textbook on he lap, nibbling the bottom of her pen,The sound of footsteps padding softly against the floorboard met her ears but she made no move to lift her gaze. Then she felt a weight beside her and Jason's scruffy blonde hair blocked her view of the anatomy she was currently invested in,"Trust me, if you keep chewing on your pen like that you're going to end up breaking the case," She made a small sound of protest when he snatched the bulky book away from her thighs, suspending it in the air and far from her reach. "You've been staring at this book for more than four hours now, you need rest, sweetheart." "Jason! Gimme that!" She moved to a kneeling position and tried to grab the textbook from his hand but he was too quick, "Jason!" She squealed when he shot to his feet, running around the small room.Maya rose as well, chasing him everywhere

"WHAT!?" He chortled, shaking his head in an amused manner. "You can't deny it, I can see it clearly in your eyes. The look of those four-letter words is written in bold fonts."Maya shook her head. Jason could say the strangest things sometimes. Why would he even say that? She? In love? That was impossible. She didn't even have a boyfriend or a potential guy for one. It was just her so Jason was making no sense at all."I think you've gotten it wrong, Jay. I'm not in love and even if I were, it would be with the free tripod stand I just got. Have you seen that thing!?" He scoffed, rolling his eyes in aggravation. "No, I'm not wrong. My love radar is never wrong and it's picking up signals from your end, sweetheart." He poked a finger at her cheek, "It's obvious though, anyone can see how much you're glowing recently and there's always this dazed loved-up look in those grey eyes of yours." Maya choked on her saliva. What? Dazed? Loved-up?Jason had to be kidding, right?One look a

She stared at the message for so long, her sight was beginning to blur. She wanted to throw the phone against the wall and scream at him for being a dick, she also wanted to smile and blush and laugh at the text.So she settled for the third option, she threw her phone on the bed and jumped on it, burying her face into the pillow. She stayed like that for several moments, debating how best to reply to him,"So what are you going to do? Will you go or not?"She shook her head fervently, "I don't know," She replied but it sounded muffled due to the pillow."I think you should go."She shot up instantly, giving her best friend a murderous look, "Hello? Did you not hear all I said? He called me dumb?" "Well, you were kind of dumb.""Gabrielle Walker!"Gab chortled, slipping into a black tee, "What do you want me to say? You were kind of dumb though, why would you approach him like that without surveilling the area? What if you'd gotten caught?" She puffed out a breath, hating that Gab

"But they are two entirely different things!"Alex chuckled but nodded, using the ballpoint pen in his hand to circle the word in the textbook. She looked at him with awe, eyes wide in astonishment and understanding. After much pleading on her end, he finally agreed to answer any questions she had about his class. Of course, he mandated that she asked only ten questions since this was basically cheating but she explained that she was a student seeking guidance from her professor. He wouldn't have it.She shifted on his lap, pointing at the word her circled, "So they're similar yet different?"His head bobbed again and he pressed a small kiss on the space between her neck and shoulder. "Yes, but that confuses most people who see these two situations as distinct.""Oh," He hummed, pressing another kiss on her skin and she giggled. "That tickles!""Is that so?" He tightened his hold around her, kissing her over and over. Maya screeched loudly, trying desperately to squirm out of his arms

"Hey!"Maya slid into the space beside him, offering the brunette a soft smile. Derek returned the gesture by nodding once, shifting so she could sit comfortably. "Hey," He greeted back. That was when Maya noticed they were matching, he had on a blue collared-neck shirt and dark jeans while she was wearing a similar-coloured tank top with a black flannel."We're matching," She informed him and his eyes when he noticed it too. She chuckled softly at the stunned look on his face.The library was fairly busy today, more students were hanging around the building and it didn't come as a shock, everyone was serious when it came to their exams. Derek had texted her a little while ago, asking to see her in the library. At first, she found the request strange but agreed later on. "So, um," She cleared her throat awkwardly, placing her purse on top of the reading table. "How have you been?" He arched a brow at the question making heat creep to her face, "Sorry, that was a stupid question.""N

Maya shoved more popcorn into her mouth, chuckling along with the characters on the TV screen. Gabrielle plopped down on the couch beside her, watching her quietly,"Don't you have somewhere to be?" Gab asked, peering at her through narrowed eyes, "It's past six." Maya's head swiveled in her direction, mouth filled with the buttery snack, "What?" A few of the crumbs went flying out of her mouth making Gab grimace in disgust before throwing her a pillow. "Ouch!" She yelled when the fluffy cushion hit her smack in the nose. "What was that for?" She rubbed the sore spot with the heel of her palm.Gab lifted a shoulder carelessly, "Maybe next time you should fucking close your mouth when chewing." She scoffed and Gab snickered, "But seriously, shouldn't you be dressing up or something."Maya sighed, returning her gaze to the screen. She'd been watching reruns of Grey's Anatomy and stuffing her face with loads of popcorn. Alex hadn't called or texted her all morning and she was starting

The moment she walked through his front door, she was attacked by different people, all eager to either measure her or get a glimpse of her face. She'd barely seen Alex since her arrival, he was also busy as well. The makeup stylist was excited to try new products on her face, the hair stylist was busy figuring out what type and colour of wig would suit her face shape and well, the lady in charge of the dresses wouldn't stop at one gown,By the time they were done with everything, it was already late into the night and Alex had come into the room like fifty times only to get chased out by the ladies. The three of them had decided on a black strapless lace corset-style gown that had a slit that started from the side of her thigh down to her leg. The top was sheer with only her breasts concealed while the bottom was a tight-fitting satin skirt that fell like a pool to the side. The entire outfit was paired with black open-toe stiletto heels and a silver studded clutch bag. Maya found th

When they stepped into the ballroom, she was awed beyond measure. Her lips parted slightly at the magnanimity of the room, the place was packed full of different people and they were all beautifully dressed, matching the occasion."Wow," She scoffed, amazed at the decor, "This place is wonderful."Alex hummed in agreement, patting the back of her palm lightly. As they walked into the room, more and more people began to notice them and she suddenly felt self-conscious. She knew why Alex decided to forego his mask for the meantime but she wished he had worn it. That way they could blend into the background and enjoy the evening like a normal couple. But nothing about this was normal. Nothing about them was."Alexander!" Someone called loudly from the crowd. Maya spotted a woman sauntering towards them, a large smile on her ruby-coloured lips. Alex gently peeled his arm off Maya to wrap them around the woman."Happy birthday, Mom." Alex kissed the side of her face making the woman giggl

|SIX YEARS LATER|"All flu patients please come to the second floor. I repeat, all flu patients please come to the second floor."The voice behind the intercom echoed loudly in the space and she walked over to Mrs Carlyle. Before she even got within a foot of her, the woman sneezed noisily into her kerchief."Mrs Carlyle?" She gently called and the woman snapped her head. "Please go to the second floor, the nurses there will attend to you quicker."She bobbed her head up and down, grabbing her bag and rising to her feet, "Oh, thank you, darli-" She sneezed again and Maya winced as the elderly woman walked away. "It's not even winter and the flu is spreading like wildfire already." Someone said behind her and she sighed.She knew who it was without looking back, "It's heartbreaking seeing all these patients come in looking so sick." She spun around and the blonde exhaled when he saw the look in her eyes."Are you still blaming yourself for Lucy?" He placed a comforting hand on her sho

"Come on, come on!" Jason yelled at them, urging them to run faster. Her legs pumped with each step she took, her heart pounding erratically. Derek was close behind her, his harsh pants could be heard in the quiet hallway. Today was their last exam and as fate would have it, they were all writing the same course. Psychology.They arrived at the lecture hall in time and Jason raced in first, followed closely by Maya and then Derek. The hall was packed full and the professor was already at the lectern, handing out exam sheets to the students. "Thank God," Jason groaned, moving towards the end of the queue. The line moved fast, each student receiving their sheet before settling on the chair.Maya was surprised at the number of people that showed up, they weren't usually this plenty during classes and she wondered why they didn't attend any either."Thank you!" Jason quipped, collecting his sheet and hurrying towards the rows of chairs.Alex looked every bit professional today, his dar

Her mother had fallen in love with Esther Grey. She wasn't kidding, at first, the two women were quite reserved and spoke quietly to each other, sometimes speaking through Maya but after a few glasses of root beer, all three of them had loosened up and they were partying like a bunch of high school girls.They had booked a private room since Esther didn't feel comfortable being in the public eye, which she understood, and sang to their heart's content. After about an hour of jumping, drinking and screaming their lungs out, Maya decided that she had had enough and chose to lounge on the couch, rather preferring watching the two older women. She took a sip from her glass and sighed in satisfaction, her fingers were already buzzing and her vision was starting to double. She blamed the bottle of tequila that they'd added to their glasses."Maya!" Her mother called, swaying her hips lightly, "Are you sure you don't want to join us!?" She giggled drunkenly, the microphone in her hold almos

"Thank you!"She gracefully accepted the large plate of pork ribs and placed it on top of the table. Her mother made a moaning sound as she sniffed the air and Maya rolled her eyes at the childishness. "What!" Her mother flared defensively, "This smells good." She rubbed her palms together and licked her lips.Maya found the whole situation hilarious especially how last year, her mother was adamant about never eating pork because she grew up on a pig ranch and considered them her family. And now,She shook her head in amusement, unable to hide her smile. Ever since Derek showed up yesterday, her mother kept bugging her about him. Asking if he was he was her future son-in-law and complaining about how skinny he looked. Maya had told her like a billion times that they were just friends but her mother didn't buy it.According to her, friends didn't hug each other. Maya shrugged her off, deciding to take her out to dinner since it had been a long time since they had some girl's time. T

Air whooshed out of her lungs, eyes wide with surprise. She fumbled for what to say, her gaze darting between Gab and her angry-looking mother. She took another step forward, hesitantly going towards her mother. "What are you doing here-" She shook her head, realizing how wrong it sounded, "I mean it's a surprise to see you!" Her mother chuckled softly, rushing to embrace Maya tightly, "Oh, mija¡ I've missed you so much." She pulled back to properly look at her, "Look how thin you've become and why did you dye your hair!? I think you're studying too hard and this town is giving you strange ideas, you were better as a brunette. Gab told me everything about it." Maya instinctively patted the ends of the wig and then gave her friend a skeptical look. Gab shrugged carelessly, "What do you mean?" "She said you spent the entire night studying at the school's library." She patted Maya's cheek lightly, "I know you care a lot about your studies cariño but you care for yourself better, oka

Maya gaped dumbfounded at the door, unable to move from her spot. She didn't know what to do at that moment, Then it hit her! Alex!He would surely have a solution for this. Just as she scrambled to her feet, the door leading to his room flung open and a shirtless Alex walked out. His eyes still looked bleary and his hair was flying all over,"Maya?" He looked surprised to see her but the expression quickly turned into concern when he saw her wide-eyed state, "Shit! What happened?" He rushed towards her, cupping her face,She silently lifted her phone, positioning the screen in his direction. She watched as his eyes grew dark and his lips turned down slightly.He threw a wary glance at the door before releasing her. Maya grabbed his arm when she noticed that he was heading for the door and gently shook her head,"What if it's them?" He smiled reassuringly and pried her fingers off his arm before heading towards the door. She watched with bated breath as he gazed into the peephole be

"Here." She quietly watched as he placed the glass on the table, the red liquid sloshing slightly from the motion. He settled on the space beside her, taking a sip from his glass. The living room was dark, their only source of illumination was the fairy light adorning the walls.After the whole scenario, Alex walked her back to the penthouse where he suggested they grabbed a bottle of his favourite wine. Maya patiently waited for him, whenever he looked at her, she would offer him an encouraging smile, "Can I hold your hand?" His request startled her a bit but she quickly blinked it away and nodded. He took her hand and squeezed gently, "I don't even know where to begin." He did an awkward laugh, shaking his head from side to side.Maya sighed softly and squeezed his palm, "Start from where you feel comfortable.""You might need a drink for that." He said in a joking manner and she chuckled alongside, "I mean it, Maya. Drink," He motioned to her untouched glass.Maya looked between

"Yes."He turned away from her, his back facing her agonized face. The first tear rolled down her face, shaky gasps escaped her parted lips as she fought to keep her emotions in check. She itched to reach out to him, to touch him. But he didn't spare her a glance so she squared her shoulders and swivelled around.She shrugged on her sundress ignoring its wet state, she gave him one last look before rushing out the door. Her heavy footsteps padded on the ground, leaving wet trails as she walked. Maya slipped into the elevator, relieved that she was the only occupant. Her trembling fingers managed to press the ground button before clutching the straps of her bag tightly. Once the doors closed shut, she allowed herself to fall to the ground, her chest racked painfully and she heaved for breath,Maya sobbed until she felt like she couldn't breathe anymore, her vision was obscured by glittering tears and her entire frame shook. If she closed her eyes, she could still vividly see the emotio

Maya was awed by two things; one was the fact that the pool was above the ground with a deck and the other was that it was jacuzzi-styled. She floated around the pool, flapping her arms around as she played with the water. "So this place is open 24/7?" She turned around to face him. Alex was leaning against the wall of the pool, watching her intently."Yes." He answered simply and she scoffed in amazement.Maya began doing a backstroke, resting her head against the water. The fairy lights adorning the entire space made everywhere seem magical and she sighed, "If I lived here, I would make good use of this place." She heard a wet plop and cracked her eyes open, but before she could turn her head, he had already wrapped his arms around her. "Hey!" Maya squealed, kicking her legs in the water as she struggled to break free. Alex casually turned her over so that she was now facing him. Instinctively, she wrapped her legs around his torso and flung her arms on his shoulder,He didn't s
