This story started as a story of seduction then revenge but those aren't the stories I want to tell. Maya is a hurt and confuse teenage girl in love. The story I want to tell is about a girl who is in love with someone a little older and don't know know what to do. She is confuse , nervous and acts weird and she contradicts herself. Enjoy your reading. :) ;)
"Are you like this because of my uncle? You should move on,Maya, I believe it hurts…but you are just going to deepen the wounds this way." Riley watched her friend on the subway, waiting for a reaction but Maya stubbornly kept her her face blank.
„Riley, can't we wait to get to your place? I don't feel like talking here." Maya really didn't felt like talking. She just didn't realized that the need for revenge was consuming her. Maya was trying to be confident but under the way she dressed and acted Maya grew more and more insecure because her whole different behavior made her lose herself. But the blonde was way to stubborn to stop her plan, even though she didn't have a real one.
„Why are you delaying this?" She just wanted to understand her to know how she could help you her, but her friend was to headstrong.
„I already told you we speak at you, what do you want from me?" Maya asked raising her voice , exasperated by Riley's questions.
„Fine." Riley was confuse by her friend's outburst. She knew that she won't get anywhere so she kept her mouth shut.
They barely got into Riley's home when she again restarted the conversation. „Bay window, bay window right know." Riley pushed her friend in her room pushing her onto the bench under her window.
„Now, you can't delay it anymore. If you try i am going to use the ring power." she spoke fast. Maya sighed not knowing what to say. All the way here she tried to come up with something but failed miserably.
„Riles... I am hurt." She averted her gaze because she feared that if she'll look in her eyes she'll break down and all of her barriers will crumble. „Can't you accept that I need a way to cope with this heartbreak. I need to rebuild my confidence and self love." spoke a tearful glared at her friend uncomfortably ,regretting that she pushed her. She just wanted the best for her friend but she forgot that Maya just got her heart shattered, and just needed a friend not judgments.
„You are right , Maya , I pushed you but you are always yourself, strong , tough, secure and confident and sometimes I forget that you have a soft heart. And I was just confused because I thought after that night that you will go back to the clothes you used wore and love."
„It's fine ,Riles. Maybe I lied. I am not fine but I'll be."
„Lets go to the kitchen to get some caramel ice cream." Eating ice cream after a serious conversation was their tradition.
After their finished their dessert, the girls just sat in the kitchen in silence, none of them feeling an urge to break it until Riley went to the bathroom.
„Hi, Maya." Josh said startling a thoughtful Maya , who yelped and got up suddenly scratching her leg in the table. „Shit...Ouch." She almost yelled lookind at her bloody knee. „You scared the crap out of me."
He watched her half amused and half concerned.
„Sorry. Sit , I'll go find something to tie your wound" Josh said giving her a napkin. Maya sat hating how klutz she acted . Where was the confidence she wanted to show him. When Riley came back found Josh holding Maya's thigh with one hand (a little to up) and tying her wound with the other.
„What happened?" Riley asked confused at the images that played in front of her eyes.
„Maya hit her leg in the table and I offered myself as a her personal doctor" Josh said smiling , his hand still on her thigh even though he finished tying her wound. Maya kept her face blank, not giving him a sign that she was affected by his warm hand on her thigh. She looked at Riley's confused face ignoring his fingers which started to make circles on her skin. She did liked it even though she hated him or maybe just wanted to hate him.
„Josh , you are still holding Maya's leg. Where is Brooke?"
Josh gently let go of her thigh and started to fidget.
„Uhm, she broke up with me, earlier today." Maya was annoyed by this fact. She wanted to break up the two , now what? He splat from her and seems unaffected. A small part of her still hoped that he broke things up with Brooke, because of her.
„Why?" Josh niece asked a gleam of curiosity dancing in her eyes. She looked at her uncle straight in his eyes waiting for a plausible answer, fearing that he might hurt her friend again.
„She was to clingy, you know that I always hated clingy. We've been dating for just two weeks and she already had some serious jealous outbursts." Maya felt like she was slapped the color leaving her face . She usually acted pretty territorial with Josh like he was hers. Perhaps that was the reason why he was never drawn to her. She still couldn't explain then why he gave her false hopes .
„I understand." Riley said softly analyzing the two of them , Josh who let go of her thigh still being close to Maya. And her friend looking clueless about that small detail. She flashed a goofy smile hiding her deductions. This time she will not interfere. It's about time. Riley told herself. „Come, Peaches to watch one more than episode of Pretty little liars." Maya jumped from Josh's side and hurried to her friend's room. Riley throw one more glance at her uncle who watched the place Maya was with an indecipherable look on his face.
Maya couldn't concentrate at the episode Riley and she watched. Her mind drifting to Josh. She thought that that Josh tried to make her understand that he will never want her because of she was to clingy. But then why act so concerned about about her scratch. Maya was definitely confuse, he made her confuse and she still didn't knew if she wanted him or revenge. The lines between the two blurred. He was single but he still hurt her feelings and he probably dated other girls the past year. She was sure just of one thing, she again acted like an idiot around her. Maya hated the effect Josh had on her.
„Well that was a creepy episode of." Riley said her eyes still blocked on the laptop screen. „Don't ya think ,Peaches? Who you think A is?"
„What?" The blonde asked not paying attention to what her bestie just said , still lost in her mind.
„This episode, the Tv series . Do you even listen to me?"
„What was the question?"
„I asked you who you think is A?"
„I always thought is one of the girls or maybe someone really close to them. And you?"
„Hmm." Said Riley thoughtful. „I have no idea, this thing is screwed up."
„I think it's my time to go home. See you tomorrow." Said the blonde and climbed hardly out of the window , carefully because of her tight skirt. She walked home in silence not knowing that Josh followed her from distance, afraid that someone may prey on her from dark because of what she wore. Eveb though he liked it because she was hot, he was sure something happened to her. The vulnerable Maya he seen today wasn't the tough ,passionate girl she used to be.
