"I just don't know Missy, everything with Jordan had been great and I simply didn't felt that way anymore." Maya said as she sipped a little bit of her drink as they were in the counter of a bar, she sighed.
"Maya, you lasted like two years! We're 26, you know that if you last like two years it's like you're already marrying." Missy said as she looked at Maya with discontent, and how not to? Maya wanted to punch herself too.
Maya felt terrible, beyond terrible if she was honest. As she asked the bartender another drink she thought how Jordan was getting his things out of her apartment, she had left hours ago but she didn't find the courage to go home and find everything empty. It wasn't that she didn't love Jordan, she did indeed loved him very much but the thing was… It was getting too serious for her and she was scared. Maybe it was because of her daddy issues or that she didn't like to settle with someone for so long, but the thing was it was getting serious and Maya didn't wanted that. She had been petrified the day he moved in and the only reason he moved in it was because he had begged Maya to move in with him or get a home together and clearly neither worked for her. She wanted to be safe, she didn't wanted to take the risk of losing anyone and being left once again, she only felt safe with few people like: her mother, Riley, Missy and Farkle but that was basically it. But she couldn't deny that she felt her heart squeezing when she saw how Jordan's expression lost light when she told him off, he was calm, he didn't asked for any reason and just nodded, saying he understood and that he loved her anyways but if she wanted that he would respect it.
"But that's the thing, I am not ready to be married and less have children like that's not in my near future." Maya responded, she was being honest with Missy, everything had been a little bit hurried for Maya and she didn't felt comfortable enough.
"I swear he was going to propose next week Maya, I could feel it." Missy said and Maya tried to brush the guilt she was feeling, she shrug.
"Could you simply stop? You're making me feel bad and you're suppose to be one of my best friends you ass." Maya said as she punched Missy in her shoulder.
"That's exactly what I'm doing Maya, I'm being totally honest and that's why we are friends." Missy said furiously as she pulled Maya's straighten hair.
"You are suppose to making me feel better." Maya said as her eyes narrowed Missy who was carelessly lean in the counter of the bar looking at the void, Maya expected a more responsive action from Missy as she turned around to face Maya.
"You're eye make up is all over your cheeks from crying." Missy said seriously and then both of them just snorted.
But Maya's thoughts were disturbed when she felt her phone vibrating in the pocket of her long coat. After she broke up with Jordan and left her own place she went running to Missy but not before she texted Riley about what had happened, at that moment Riley was in an important meeting on DC and Maya didn't wanted to bother her with such insignificant stuff. They had arrived to the bar like half and hour ago, but not before Maya got an intense Ice cream therapy, enough sugar she hoped to get her drunk to forget the little guilt she was feeling.
"It's Riley, she's going to kill me." Maya said as Missy looked at her with a scowl, Missy had been blurring out for years how she wanted someone like Jordan, she wanted to be married by now but she hadn't found the guy. Maya knew Missy wasn't mad because she broke up with Jordan, but because she had threw to the trash the future that Missy wanted.
"I hope she does." Missy said with an annoyed voice and Maya just chuckled, the alcohol was getting to her.
"I'll be right back." Maya said as she left her coat on the little stool and walked to the bathrooms of the bar where there was less noise.
As she walked towards the lady's room she caught a glimpse of some green sea-foam eyes, Maya loved that color for her paintings, their gazes lingered for a seconds. The guy had this perfect bone structure that made Maya's mouth dry and he had this suit, he obviously just got out of work, his blonde hair was a bit messy and Maya could swear she had seen him somewhere else.
Nonetheless he quickly broke the stare down when another girl sat on the other side of the table, they were clearly on a date. Maya chuckled and continued her path, she wasn't looking for boys anyway, she had just broke up with the love of her life, that's what at least Riley would say. Maya arrived to the entrance of the bathrooms and stayed there, she still had a clear view of the green sea-foam eyes guy.
"Honey! How's Wa-" Maya began saying but was quickly cut off by her best friend whose voice was all squeaky cause she was mad.
"Maya Penelope Hart! What were you thinking?"
"-shington." Maya said with a shaky voice, she cursed in her mind, Riley was definitely mad at her.
"Oh, I don't know, It was fine! I just got out of a meeting with the ambassador of France, everything went perfect and I might resolved an international problem!" Riley said with a sarcastic tone, but Maya knew it was truth.
"Honey! I'm so proud of you Riley, you're totally government material! The president is lucky to have you there." Maya said as she bit her lower lip, she knew that Riley hadn't finish.
"But suddenly I happily check my phone to find a TEXT, not even a missed call, from my best friend who apparently couldn't stay in a relationship with the love of her life!" Riley said exploiting, almost screaming at the end.
"I'm sorry…?" Maya said carefully in a low pace.
"Of course you are Maya Hart, he had perfect genes and your children would've been lovely! He was totally in love with you." Riley said a little bit loud but calmer.
"Honey, I'm sorry really but I wasn't ready and he was going too fast. You very well knew that in the first place, he just, he wanted more and I didn't, I'm not ready for more Riley and you know it." Maya said honesty." And I'm aching too okay? It was hard for me to let go but I knew he wasn't the one."
"I'm sorry Peaches you're right. I'll be home by tomorrow and we can have a sleepover and watch a ton of scary movies although you know I hate them." Riley said with sweetness, Maya smiled happily, she loved Riley so much. Maya had known Riley since they were seven and from then on they had been best friends. More than that, they were family and nothing could put them apart.
"Ring power?" Maya said softly with a smile on her face and she could feel her best friend smiling too.
"Ring power." Riley said between giggles. "I'll see you tomorrow." Riley said and then hanged up.
Maya remained there for a few more seconds trying to cool down, she swallowed hard, she felt a little bit breathless and how not to? She had this beautiful dark blue tight dress that reached until her ankles and made her look classy and sexy. She had worn it for her meeting with some persons who owned a gallery and wanted to show her work. Many guys were staring at her in the club and in the street but she wasn't in the mood for that at the moment, she felt her heart squeezing, not necessarily for losing Jordan but for the fact that she felt guilty about it, Missy was right and Riley too, he might have been the one but Maya had dumped him.
But her thoughts were clear when she then turned her head and saw again the green sea-foam eyes guy, Maya smiled. She couldn't see the guy very well since she was facing his back but she had a clear view of his date. The girl was talking with such an emotion, pretty hype and not good for a date since the guy was always looking at his sides and sipping frequently from his drink, Maya thought he was actually trying to get drunk. Maya chuckled, this probably had to be a blind date obviously, it wasn't normal for someone to be so nervous or jumpy that the guy and the girl, she was probably embarrassing herself. Maya then walked near them, she wanted to go back to her respective stool next to Missy and continue to drown her sorrows but she couldn't help to peep into the guys conversation with the girl, she walked slowly and sit just behind him, in the next table, facing the girl who was too busy to notice her, or too drunk. Maya began to get a good audio of their conversation.
"So you're a doctor?" The girl said a little bit too loud, she giggled hard and she had her feet on the chair, her heels on the floor and her drink in her hand. Yep, she was definitely drunk.
"Yes, Yes I am and uhm, hey- you might want to go slow on the drinks." The guy said as he watched the girl sipping her drink, who was almost done. "Did you drink before you got here?" The guy asked fairly concerned as he tried to take the girl's glass before she ended it.
"Maybe, a little. You know Zay said such nice things about you." The girl said looking at the drink in her hand, the guy backed off. "You're such a Prince Charming." The girl purred and Maya just giggled, she knew she was kind of bad when she was drunk but not this embarrassing. "With how many girls have you slept with?" The guy scoff a bit, but the girl didn't mind at all. "I have slept with around 19, you could my lucky number" The girl said as she took a hold of the guys face and caress his lips, the guy brushed off her hand and chuckled nervously not saying anything, or paying much attention to his date, picking his phone to see the hour, Maya did the same, it was only 10:00, he will be in for a long night.
"I mean really, you are this strong Mississippi guy who-" The girl said but was quickly cut off by the guy who cleared his throat, somehow to give the girl a hint to shut up.
"I'm from Texas, actually." The guy said seriously to the girl, he began looking at the dance floor again.
Knew it Maya thought, his accent left that clear and Maya found it a bit goofy. When she thought about Texas so many nicknames had pop up in her head but she dismiss them when the girl keep the conversation going.
"Yeah, right, Zay's from Texas." The girl said but quickly change topics as she sipped another drink she had on the table, god this girl will have such a terrible headache tomorrow, Maya thought. "So you're a doctor hmmm." The girl said as she began to lean more on the table, her breast almost hanging out from her bright purple tight dress as she gave a racy look to the guy and he remained stiff and began taking a sip from the drink.
"Uhm, yeah I am." The guy said trying to look another way, when he turned sideways Maya could see how flustered he was, such a gentleman not trying to look at the girls dressed, Maya laughed a bit, what was his deal.
"I think my boobs are sick, *cough* *cough * " The girl said as she moved her upper body to seem like her breast had moved, the guy almost spit his drink and Maya just lost it.
She began to laugh so hard that people who were walking by stopped and stare at her, she almost fell down the chair, she couldn't believe that the girl had really said that to the guy who although she wasn't looking at him, was surely petrified. Maya continue laughing for more time, not caring about what anybody thought but suddenly she open her eyes who were dripping tears of laughter to find the confused sea-foam eyes as the looked at her. Maya stayed stiff, both the guy and his date where watching at her with confusion, she was going to stand up and just simply walk back to Missy but she knew how desperate was this guy in the date. Maya didn't knew if it was because she had just broken up with Jordan, the drinks she had with Missy or maybe it was the feeling she had of seeing him somewhere else.
But Maya took a decision quickly; she stood up and began to cry, uncontrollably and awkwardly. She had been very good at acting, who knew that her mother acting practices would serve a purpose some day? Maya began crying and stood at the middle of the table; the couple seeing her too confused, the girl slack-jawed and the guy had just his lovely eyes fixed on Maya, then between sobbing's Maya began to speak.
"You, why would you cheat one me!?" Maya began screaming at the guy but she almost lost it when the guy gave her a more confused look but she gave him a sign with her eyes, he understood it after a few seconds he looked back and fort at the girl and at Maya.
"My love, what are you doing here? This is not what it looks like." The guy said following the game perfectly looking at the girl who was beyond disordered in this mess, the guy knew had to act too.
"You promised me the day we got married that you wouldn't cheat on me again." Maya responded between sobs and she saw how a small smile appeared from the guy's mouth, Maya almost smiles as well but the girl began to talk
"Lucas, you are married?" The girl said in shock, it was like all the alcohol that was inside her had abandoned her.
"Zay didn't tell you?" Lucas said with surprise and the girl simply scoffs, but Maya continued
"Yes! He does and you're taking him away from me, who do you think you are to be breaking marriages uh?" Maya responded as she pointed at the girl, between sobs/laughs.
"I'm not doing anything." The girl said beyond petrified to Maya's accusing finger and she quickly stood up. "I'm out. WORST blind date ever." The girl said as she quickly took off from the table and towards the door.
Maya smiled, she had safe someone from being in a total mess. She thought the guy was too nice to denied her a second date and she was drunk enough to ask him, it would continue until the point they will be living together but the guy wouldn't want any of that and then everything would suck, just like her past situation, but not like this. Maya clean the fake tears that were rolling down her eyes, she had to get her purse to put her make-up again, she hadn't cried like this when Jordan left which made her chuckled a bit, as she was going to took off the guy clear his throat.
"Hey, Thank you for saving me." The guy name Lucas said, Maya turned around and smiled a bit. He was standing right behind her and had gathered his stuff. "Although you were laughing at my expenses."
"No problem, been there done that. I thought you wanted a way out Huckleburry but you simply didn't knew how." Maya said as she smiled and began walking but suddenly he trapped her wrist and made her stop, he had this strong and warm touch that made Maya shrive.
"Huckleburry?" Lucas said with a smirk as he walked beside Maya and let go off her hand, Maya finally let go off the breath she had been holding. Was he flirting with her? Because she wasn't interested, well maybe he looked like an angel if she was honest and a doctor? Who wouldn't want that but she just couldn't she had just broke up with someone. But he wouldn't stop walking with her and looking at her like some new thing found in the space.
"You're accent, Mr. Mississippi" Maya responded as she chuckled and he did too.
"It was really bad, wasn't it?" Lucas said and Maya just nodded in agreement, they were about to arrive to the part of the counter where Missy was but then she groaned when she saw how Missy was, barely falling off the stool with a bunch of drinks near her and Maya was sure she was almost sleep on the counter.
"Fuck." Maya said as she hurried her pace and began caressing Missy's back and examining her, to see if she was already too drunk and the results were clear when Maya saw puke on her hair and on one of the glasses. Maya almost vomits to the scene but she quickly and reluctantly clean the puke of her hair and said to the bartender he could pick off the glasses and that she needed the bill. "Missy come on, we have to go sweetie."
But Missy just moved reluctantly and groaned a bit, Maya knew this was bad. If Missy couldn't walked alone it meant that Maya had to carried her but she wasn't strong enough to carried her which meant she would have to ask someone help but usually the guys who offered would touch the girls butt or something like that, she had already live it.
"You want help?" Lucas voice appeared again, he was standing behind them, he had an honest look on his face, their gazes' link in a moment. Maya was sure she had seen him somewhere else but she wasn't sure why, she trusted him, she really did.
"If you want to Huckleburry, help me carry her to outside." Maya said harsh, as she gathered Missy's stuff and hers too, Lucas took a strong grip on Missy's hip and she began leaning into him, he carried her outside the club and Maya just followed them to the street.
"Okay now we need a cab." Maya said as she took a hold of her cellphone and looked at the hour, she scoffed. "Missy it's only 10:20! Are you kidding me? I was the one who was supposed to be drunk." Maya said furiously and Missy just let little groans out, Lucas laughed a bit.
"Hey, can I take you home?" Lucas said almost like he didn't know what other connotations that phrase had and Maya just raised a brow, his eyes then open up and began to stutter. "Oh not like that, god, I mean I have a driver and I'm going to go anyway so I can take you."
Maya doubted a bit, she was defenseless if she agreed. She meant if Lucas was a thief or an murdered both of them would be doomed, he was too strong and big for any of them and Maya had a drunk Missy who she knew for her state wouldn't be reactive until tomorrow in the afternoon. Maya could maybe put of a fight but he would quickly beat her. She stared at him with doubt as Lucas was waiting for an answer.
"I don't know you that well." Maya said perspicacious as her eyes hostile.
"You safe me, I own you one." Lucas said with modesty, there was something so transparent about him that Maya simply couldn't deny. She knew if it was 3:00 am she would get a cab without a problem but it was 10:00 pm and no cabs were stopping to take a drunken girl and her friend.
"Fine." Maya said and Lucas quickly took out his phone. Lucas quickly got his phone out and began talking to the driver, in no time a very expensive car appeared outside the club. Lucas helped Missy get in and Maya walked to the other side along with Lucas who open her the door.
"What a gentleman." Maya said mocking him just before she entered the car but he just lean in and tip an imaginary cowboy had before winking at her.
"Whatever you need m'am." Lucas said with a more exaggerated Texas accent and Maya just laughed.
"God you are such a dork." Maya said before getting into the car, Lucas closed the door and then sit next to the drivers sit.
"Where are we going?" He said looking at Maya through the rear-view mirror, his sea-foam eyes looking at her intensely which made Maya feel waves of excitement through her.
"Greenwich Village, please." Maya responded with a smirk, her eyes fixed on Lucas as well and the car began to move.
