(Harry's POV)

I rush over to Maya as she grabbed the bags from the cart. I instantly snatched them from her hands as a confused look appeared on her face.

"Go in the car, I can handle this." As what I said finally made sense to her, she smiled slightly and walked to the car.

"What gotten into you?" She said very surprised at the fact that I was being a gentleman. As much as I wanted to say "you got into me" to her I know that I couldn't. She's my step sister for god sakes and who knows how she'll take it?

"I don't know, maybe I just feel like being nice today." She stared at me for any signs of me lying but I wasn't so she opened the car door and climbed in.

I grab a few more bags and loaded them into the trunk as I watched my breath look like smoke since it was so cold. When I was done, I walked fast back to the car and hopped in trying to get away from the cold weather.

My numb hands grabbed the keys from my coat pocket and inserted them into the ignition as the warm air started to blow out.

"Why didn't you put the key in before I came in the car?" I said rubbing my hands together trying to get some heat. When Maya didn't respond to my question, I looked over at her. I stared at her as her hands covered her face and all I can see was her eyes.

Her tiny body was shaking and her bottom lip quivered as she let her hands down. She had her sleeves pulled up to her hands as she shook from the coldness.

I immediately grabbed her hands and cuffed them bringing them up to my lips. My eyes never left hers as I breathed into her hands trying to warm her up.

Her eye brows furrowed together as I did this but when she finally realized what I was doing, she calmed down and slightly smiled at me. Once she bit down her her bottom lip and shook her head up and down enough for me to see, I parted from her and watched the rode as I pulled out the parking lot.

"Thank you.." She mumbled under her breath. I just looked at her for a split second and genuinely smiled reassuring her there was no problem.

(Maya's POV)

The ride to the house was silent after what Harry did. I mean, what do I say? What do I talk about after that? All those questions rummaged through my mind as we drove home.

I wanted to start a conversation with him so badly, but I didn't want to say the wrong thing and make these moments more awkward then they already were.

Once we got home, that's when Harry told me that he was going to get the groceries as I can just open the house door for him. I just shook my head up and down and did what I was told.

As I opened the door, I saw my mom and Jeff talking so I decided to not interrupted them. I walked up to my room just as Harry walked into the house. When I got into my room, I'm instantly locked the door and jumped on my bed getting ready to go to sleep.

I get awoken from my sleep when I hear the loud knocking on my door. I sluggishly get from my bed and suck my teeth as I open the door letting Harry in. I sat back on my bed as Harry walked into my room and roamed it looking for something.

"Can I help you?" I wasn't trying to be rude but they way it came out maybe have rubbed Harry the wrong way by the way he looked down at me. I could tell he was really holding back on saying something but he stopped before those words exited his mouth.

"I just wanted to tell you, your mom told me to come and get you for dinner." I nodded my head up and down and got up from my seat. My eyes watched as Harry grabbed one of my private clothing from the dresser. My cheeks instantly flushed to pink as I grabbed it from him stuffing it back into my draw.

"Don't go through my stuff please." I say really annoyed. I walked down stairs to go get dinner with Harry right behind me.

I kept sticking the chicken on my plate with the fork not bothering to eat. I wasn't in the bed mood. Maybe because Harry just pulled that stunt and kept not talking to me basically the whole time!

"Aren't you going to eat your food?" My mom said as she cut her meat and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Erm.... My stomach hurts right now. I'm basically not in the mood to eat. Can I go upstairs?" She stared at me for any signs of me lying but after a few seconds she nodded her head and I left the kitchen as everyone ate their food.

I walked back into my room , not bothering to lock the door. I jumped onto my bed and stuffed my face into the pillow remembering the kind of day I had with my step brother Harry.

(Harry's POV)

I sit at the dinner table debating on going to talk to Maya about today. I mean, should I? What should I say? How will I say it? A these questions entered my mind.

"Would you like me to go check on Maya to see if she's fine?" I said to Mayas mom. I wasn't sure what to call her even though Maya called my dad Jeff so why shouldn't I call her by her first name?

"Yes please Harry." I excused myself from the table and walked upstairs to Maya's room. I counted to three in my head before knocking ink the door. Why am I so nervous? I say to myself.

"Come in..." I walked into Maya's room to see her laying under her covers just laying their. I chuckled when she peeked her eyes out and looked at me.

"Your mom wanted me to see if you okay." I sit on the edge of her bed as she sits up pulling her hair to the side. Gosh, I loved when she did that.

"Yeah I'm fine." She blankly said looking down, picking at her shirt not looking me in my eye. She hasn't looked me in the eye since we were in the car and it's kind of irritating me.

I sat there in silence wondering if I should bring up what happen in the car, but I decided to just leave it alone for now. I got up from her bed and walked to the door as I heard her tiny voice call my name. I smiled slightly as I looked behind the door to see Maya staring at me.

"Hmm?" I said.

"What was that in the car?" She asked shyly. Should I tell her? What should I do? I had to think because she would defiantly think something's up if I keep stalling. So I decided to store my feelings up for Maya and just let us be brother and sister.

"You were freezing, so I wanted to make sure my little sister was okay. What kind of brother would I be if I just let you be cold?"

I gave her a fake smile so she'll think that what I was saying to her was real. All she did was look down and shake her head making me guess she bought those words that just exited my mouth.
