Zig was lying on the couch watching television, though he should have been working on his Ancient Greek History paper. It was due next week, but he wanted to get and A in the class, so starting it early would be a big help. He couldn't pull himself from the couch though. It was Friday and he didn't have class today, so he basically had a movie marathon all day. If someone were to tell him that he would be in the living room for eight-plus hours, he would have pictured a very boring day, but the actual events turned out to be quite the opposite. He'd been able to catch some pretty good movies and just laze around all day.
He was on movie number five when Maya opened the door and walked into the apartment. She took off her jacket, hanging it on the coat rack, and walked toward the kitchen. She roughly set her keys and purse on the counter.
"Let me guess," Zig began, sitting up. "He didn't show?"
"Nope." Maya sat down on the couch next to him. "He's a freaking jerk and he's completely oblivious to that fact. He wasn't even in class either. He'll try anything to get away from me. He's the best example of immature. Open a dictionary and boom, there's his picture." She sighed.
"My, the best thing to do is just ignore him. You deserve way better than him."
"Yeah, I know. I don't even know why I was with him in the first place...Thanks, by the way." The foods wrappers and dirty dishes surrounding them gave Maya a hint to what Zig's day had been like. "So, how was your day of 'lets treat the living room like my own personal trashcan?'"
"Pretty good actually. I caught some great movies." He grinned.
She picked up a bowl from the coffee table, about to take it to the kitchen to begin washing the dishes.
"No, I got it." He took the bowl from her. "Just...relax or something. You deserve it. Unlike me. I've just been in here all day watching t.v. and eating."
She rolled her eyes. "You do everything for me though," she pointed out. At around six months pregnant, Zig was practically her personal slave. It's more than Zach ever did...
"Well, you're pregnant, so there's an excuse for me to do things for you." He smiled. "Oh, do you still need me to drive you to your appointment tomorrow?"
"Yeah, my mom can't get off of work."
"Okay."
"I can't believe I've only got three months left." It felt like just yesterday she and Zig were in her bathroom awaiting the results of the pregnancy test. "Hopefully raising him won't go by so quickly."
Zig expressed his agreement and then began to do the dishes.
Maya remained silent, listening to the sound of the water running before eventually falling asleep.
I know it's been a long time since I posted. Since December, I know. I need to stop being lazy. I have too many stories to leave you guys for so long without updating. I sometimes realize how long I've left all of you without a new post and then I make a note to write something and it just never happens. I'll try harder though. I was working on a one shot and a new story that I hope to post soon! Oh, by the way, Zig and Maya are sophomores!
