MAYA

It was Thursday morning, and I have been literally bouncing with anticipation all week. Only 2 more sleeps until all my best friends were here. It’s safe to say I was ecstatic. I rolled around lazily in my bed. Harry wasn’t here, unfortunately, he had spent the night with Gemma, which of course I wasn’t mad about. I dragged myself out of bed and walked towards the bay window, I took a seat and opened the window, breathing in the cold morning air, hoping it would soothe my slight distress about Josh. I looked around at the stormy sky outside, fucking England. I felt my phone start to buzz in my hands, it was a call from Zay, how strange. Zay was obviously one of my best friends, but we never had long one on one conversations very often.

“Hey” I said with a smile when I picked up.
“Hey!” He hollered back.
“What’s up? I never get personal Zay calls.” I laughed.
“Consider yourself blessed.” He retorted. “I wanted to talk about us coming to England.”
“Oh, okay cool.” I said somewhat relieved, “What about it?”
“Well Hart-Hunter, I want to party.” He stated matter of factly.
”What?” I laughed.
“I know you’ve met Harry and that’s cool and all, but you haven’t met anyone else have you?” He said.
“Harsh, and I totally have.” I defended.
“Yeah? Like who?” He said with obvious sass in his voice.
“Harry’s sister. Gemma.” I said.
“Great! So she’ll hook us up with the party.” He finished.
“Now wait just a minute-“ Before I could finish Zay was already talking again.
“But on to more serious things, Josh.” He said calmly.
“Ugh, do we have to talk about?” I groaned rubbing my forehead.
“I feel like, everyone’s so worried about how Josh coming is gonna impact them, but no ones really asked you how you feel about it. So how do you feel Maya?” He asked,
“To be honest, I don’t really know.” I sighed, “I haven’t thought about it, how I feel I mean. I guess I’ll know when he’s here, won’t I?”
“How does Harry feel about it?”
“He definitely wasn’t happy, he insisted on staying at my house while you guys are here.”
“Sounds about right, thanks for the chat Maya.” Zay finished. We hung up the phone call and I couldn’t help but smile. Zays kindness and his charming attitude were infectious. I decided to finally hop in the shower, letting the steam consume me and my thoughts. I couldn’t help but think of Harry. It was like I struck the jackpot. I couldn’t believe that I had bumped in to him at an airport, on a pissed off, miserable day, and now just seeing him made me happy. He was so sweet, and so patient, and he was so incredibly protective of me, I’d never had any of this with Josh. Harry was the sunshine of my life, he never failed to make me feel brightened, after all, who can’t be enchanted in the presence of sunlight?

After my feelings filled shower, I hopped out and got dressed, black ripped jeans, a metallica t shirt, with my black combat boots of course. I applied some makeup and did my hair up, I looked good. I hopped my way downstairs and found Shawn in the kitchen on his laptop.

“What’s up kiddo?” He said briefly looking up from his computer.
“Nothing,” I responded, grabbing an apple, “I’m kind of bored to be honest.”
“You haven’t really been out since we’ve moved.” He said simply.
“I guess that’s true.” I shrugged, “I guess I could call Harry.”
“You know,” He started, “That could be good. Listen, while you’re out could you grab snacks and such for your friends? I haven’t been out to do it yet.”
“Yes you lazy slacker.” I laughed and made my way to the living room. I plopped myself on the couch and rang up Harry.

“Always a good day when an angel calls.” He said softly right as he picked out.
“Alright Romeo,” I chuckled, “I want to get out of the house today, maybe even get some inspiration. Oh and Shawn wants me to go grocery shopping.”
“Sounds like something I can do.” He said sweetly, “I’ll be there in 10.”
“See you soon.” I said.
“See you soon, Penelope.” He whispered before hanging up.

HARRY

I grabbed my coat before heading out the door and making the short walk to Maya’s front door. I knocked a few times before putting my hands inside my pockets, it was chilly today, I’d have to remind Maya to bring a coat. My thoughts were interrupted by Shawn opening the door.

“Hey man.” He said patting my back as I walked in.
”Hey Shawn, how’s your day going?” I asked while rubbing my arms to help me warm up.
“Working like a dog,” He chuckled, “Maya’s in the living room.”
I thanked him before walking in to the living room finding Maya on the couch. I found myself thinking about one of our first nights together, during the power outage and the storm. Maya was like an ocean, she was this wild, reckless, untamed thing that could so easily destroy you, but if you knew her, and the way that she moved, if you admired her beauty (not like you could miss it), she became the easiest thing to fall in love with.
“Hey lazy.” I said.
“Oh my god!” She jumped, I had obviously scared her and I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Asshole.” She muttered walking towards me.
I opened my arms and hugged her tightly before lifting her head to kiss her softly.
”Ive missed you.” I whispered.
“Me too.” She whispered back, “But I really do need to go grocery shopping.”
“Your request is my command.” I said and bowed letting her go in front of me.
“And they say chivalry is dead.” She chuckled walking to the door.
“A day out on the town with my favorite girl.” I said sweetly as I followed her. I watched her walking to my house so we could get my car, everything about Maya was radiant. She was working her way in to me, I felt like I was being consumed by an unending kind of beauty and love, and I didn’t want to stop. I didn’t care about Josh, or anything else. I knew then that Maya had me, and that she always would.
