Welcome to Town.

MAYA

”Hi?” I asked curiously, why was he here. And who is the beautiful girl accompanying him?
“Hello!” The girl spoke, “I’m Gemma, and this is my brother. He lives just down the road from you in that house over there.” She turned to point at it, and I saw how embarrassed he was, this definitely wasn’t his decision. I nodded along when she turned back. “Anyway, he told me he hasn’t welcomed you to town yet, and I thought that we just absolutely had to rectify this situation.” She smiled, she seemed sweet, she had good intentions.
“Um sure.” I laughed, “Would you like to come in?”
”Absolutely!” The girl, Gemma, answered, he still hadn’t said a word the whole time. I opened the door wider and let them in shutting it behind them. The took of their coats and I showed them to the kitchen.
“Can I get you anything?” I asked as they sat at chairs across the island from me.
“Just water for me.” She answered politely, I looked to Harry for an answer, “Same for me.” He mumbled. I nodded and broke out 3 glasses and filled them with water. I gave them theirs and took a sip of mine, suddenly aware of how dry my throat was.
“So um,” I cleared my throat, “I’m Maya, Maya Hart.”
“Maya Hart! Isn’t that just precious, Haz?” She turned to her brother.
”Uh, yeah, sure” He answered, man, he was kinda cold.
“So Maya,” She continued, ignoring her brothers remark, “Where are you from? I notice the accent.”
”Uh yeah,” I nodded, “I’m from New York.”
“Really?!” She asked, I nodded. “New York is one of Harry’s favourite places!”
“That’s cool, it’s pretty great.” I answered.
“Blondes are also Harry’s favourites.” She said tilting her glass towards me. I choked on my water a little when she said that. Before I could even respond, she spoke again.
“Where is your bathroom?” She asked.
“Um down the hall, first door on the right.” I directed, and just like that she was up and gone again.
“Sorry about my sister,” Harry finally spoke, “She’s a little-“
”Forward?” I laughed.
“Um yeah. Anyway, I’m not sure if you remember, but I bumped into you at the airport a few days ago.” He offered.
”Yeah I remember, fell straight on my ass, how could I forget?” I laughed.
“Well yeah, um anyway, when we were gathering all your things, this latched onto my jumper, and I think it’s yours?” He pulled a ring far too small in his hands from his jeans pocket.
“Oh my God.” I gasped with relief, “My best friend gave me that when I was 14, I thought I had lost it forever.”
“Well I’m glad I could return it to its rightful owner.” He smiled, he took my hand in his, and they were warm and soft, his one hand could’ve probably covered both of my tiny ones. He smiled at me as he slid the ring back on my index finger. As he did this, I swear to God I felt a jolt of electricity travel down my spine, and suddenly all I could do was look at him. And he looked at me. His eyes were so beautiful, and I felt like he was looking straight into my soul.
“Well isn’t this a sight?” I snatched my hand out of his and turned to see Gemma standing in the kitchen, looking at us.
”Oh don’t stop on account of me.” She joked, I laughed awkwardly.
“Anyway, I’ve gotta go.” She said gathering her things, Harry rushed up to her,
“But um, Gem you just got here?” He asked, but it sounded like more of a statement, a demand. She gave him a look I couldn’t decider, and turned to look at me.
“It was lovely meeting you, Maya. I hope to be seeing you often.” And with that, she was gone out the front door. And now it was just me and him, standing awkwardly in the kitchen.
”So um, if you had this the whole time, and you knew I lived here, why didn’t you bring it to me sooner?” I asked him about my ring.
“Well I guess I didn’t know if it was yours.” He answered.
”Oh so women tend to lose jewellery around you? Or your just around so many you don’t know who’s it could be?”
“I-I, no, I guess I’m just not great with people, new people” He answered with a sigh.
”Relax,” I laughed. “I was kidding. I’m not so great with people either.” He seemed to relax a little more, but we still stood in awkward silence.
“Do you wanna go to the bay window?” I asked nervously, he would be the first person to ever sit in it with me, and I think I would like that, maybe.
“The bay what?” He asked. I laughed and led him up the stairs to my room. Look at yourself Hart, bringing another boy into your room, a stranger no less! I stopped my thinking as we entered my room.
“This is nice. Plain walls though.” He commented.
”Thanks I guess, um I have plans for the walls though.” I said as I led him to the bay window and took a seat. I loved the bay window I had set up. The cushion seats were lavender, and the curtains were a darker purple, with other curtains that were a see through shimmery teal, with blue and purple pillows littered across the seats.
“Like what?” He asked, sitting next to me.
“I don’t know yet,” I answered, “I guess there’s a lot I don’t know yet.”
“Well I still don’t know what a bay window is, exactly.” He offered politely, “Care to explain?”
“Um you know,” I laughed rubbing my forehead, “I kinda can’t. It’s kinda an unseen force. Back in New York, me and my best friend we, you know what it’s stupid.” I shook my head.
“No, no, please, keep going.” He urged, he looked genuinely interested in what I was saying.
“Okay,” I started, “Well, me and Riley, my best friend, we had the bay window our whole lives. It’s how I met her.”
“Really? You met her in one of these things?” He asked
”Yeah actually, I was like 5, and my parents were fighting a lot, and I was climbing up some fire escapes, to see how high I could get, but I could still hear their voices in my head, the fighting the yelling. But I was on this one set of stairs, and I heard this singing, bad, no tune, off key, little girl singing.” He and I both chuckled, “But, but I thought to myself, that’s happy singing, I wanna see who’s happy enough to sing that terribly. So I climbed through the window, into a total strangers apartment. And there was Riley. And it’s been her and I ever since. The bay window was our safe place, it helped us through the hardest of times.” I finished. “Sorry, that was so weirdly personal”
“No, it’s okay, I liked hearing about it. Riley’s bay window sounds great, but I really like yours.” He smiled, “I should probably get going, but here take my number.” I smiled and put it in my phone. I walked him downstairs and waved at him from the front door as he left. I felt so incredibly comfortable with him, more than I had ever felt with any other guy before. Today, with him, was so great. I laid on my bed and texted Riley,

Maya: Guess who has airport guys number ! ;)
Rilessss<3: OMG! You lucky bitch!

I laid there that night, trying to fall asleep, and all I could think of was him, so I decided to risk it, all the walls I had built around my heart, and I texted him.

HARRY

Spending time with her was incredible. As much as I hated her for it, I had to internally thank Gemma for forcing me to go over there. She had felt comfortable enough to open up to me about her “bay window”, and about part of her life in New York. I couldn’t help feeling that she had some secrets and some of her past left there. But I couldn’t help feeling weirdly happy that she shared even a little bit of it with me. What is it about this girl? Lost in my thoughts about her, I felt my phone buzz, and I saw she had texted me.

Maya H: Hey :)

Looking at that, deep down, I knew I was starting something, something I didn’t wanna end.

"“Gem, I need your help.” I said.
“Okay do you mean what shoes should I wear or hide a dead body help?” She asked and I laughed." -this is iconic and I'm going to use this on my siblings! Sorry for stealing...I'll credit you though.
