Oh look, I actually updated, holy wow. Um, okay so...this chapter was kind of hard to write because I spent a decent portion of it knowing what I wanted to do, but then I had that nice chunk in the middle where I didn't know HOW I was going to get to that part. It was like a half blur. But, in the end, I worked it out and it's kind of cool. You're getting a bit of different interactions here, you get the ever so lovely Maia/Bellas and I think a nice favorite of people, Maia/Nick but you also get some Maia/Colby and it's awesome and it's candid and I actually like it. Onto shoutouts. First and always it's the lovely nicoletisha because let's be honest here, if she doesn't text me about it, she's probably secretly stalking the fic. Guest, 1 Crazy Brunette Goddess, NatalieNicole99, HouseofWolves12, xSamiliciousx, Pinayprincesa, Seth rollins babe and Paisley2 who gave a bit of positive constructive criticism. I agreed with the things she said-which goes with no limit to comments or reviews although I do welcome them a lot. It lets me know you are enjoying the story, that you loved the chapter and what you'd love to see happen in the story. I love seeing you guys react to what you've read, because it means I'm doing something right and since I can't see your reactions when you just follow or favorite the story (although that does say a lot, it means you want to know when it's updated and such), reading you guys' reactions and love for the writing, it makes it all worth it. So I will no longer say "six to ten comments/reviews gets you the next chapter!" but I do want to keep seeing them because, it's great to see what you guys say.
Anywho, here's the normal drill.

Chapter Eleven: Thnx Fr The Gving
"This is weird. I'm at Smackdown. I mean, usually when I'm here but it's to fight. Tonight I'm not. What has this come to?" Maia mumbled as she found herself sprawled out on a bench in the Divas locker room for the night. It wasn't many Divas on the card tonight. Nikki was to have a match against Emma, with Brie on her side while Charli was to accompany Dolph to his match. "Is this what it's like as a valet? I'm not sure if I dig it so much now."
Nikki chuckled. "We did it for a good half of our career. It's kind of draining, actually."
"You'll be fine." Brie added.
This made Maia sit up. "Did you two switch personalities for the day or something, Brie you just said something your sister would say."
Brie bit her lip. "Twin magic?"
The younger woman shook her head. "Hey, I have a question and give me honest answers, okay? April isn't here so, I want to know the real answer. Did you guys really say it was okay for her to say 'talent is not sexually transmitted' to you guys and are you seriously not hurt about that?"
Nikki and Brie shared a glance at each other before Nikki sat down in front of Maia. "We gave her a bit too much free reign. Ever since the Pipe Bombshell promo against us Total Divas cast members, creative doesn't exactly write her promos. They give her bullet points and she mostly follows them until she sees something to change for reaction and shock factor. Did she come to us, asking what she should say and what would be okay? Yes. Did we know that's what she was going to say that? To an extent."
"Does it mean it didn't hurt? No. We as divas, we get compared to our male counterparts. If you had actually stayed with Phil, you would have been the one getting the CM Punk chants. If you were to date Jon or Nick or—hell, even Colby, you'd be getting the chants of their names too. By default, I get the 'YES!' chants and let's not even get started on the things people say about Nicole..." Brie continued as she took a seat next to Nikki. "We brushed it off, we know none of us got here because of who we're married to, or who we're dating or whatever. We got here because of talent and no promo, last minute freestyle or anonymous blogger can take that away from us."
"We're not mad or angry or hurt by her words. Words are words and that's it. We've come to terms with that. We're not the same people we were when we started." Nikki added, a small smile on her face. "You're not the same person since you started. April isn't the same, no one is the same since they started. It's all on how you grow as a person that makes you different for the better or for the worst."
Maia smiled small. "I realized, we never get to just sit down and talk like this, you know? Just be women and talk like mature women and not gossip over things like I'm more than sure a decent portion of the roster thinks we do..." she started with a small laugh. "I doubt I changed for the better. I still have a million walls up."
"But you've let in a few people. You've let us in, you've let in a nice portion of people, you're letting Nick in. You let in Cena and—and April and Saraya and basically all of us divas that you've toured and worked with. You've let in quite a few people. You've let Jon in, which no one saw coming because he's like...Jon Good," Brie spoke "that's an improvement right there compared to the small company you kept about a year and a half ago. You're growing. You've got more growing to do, but you're growing."
Stretching as she stood, Maia sighed. "I hate it when you two are right. Fuck." Heading over to the locker, changing into black, white and blue—the colors of Dolph's shirt before it came in pink since he wore the pink one—the young woman turned back to the twins. "So, how long is your match tonight?"
Brie scoffed. "Two minutes at best?"
"Could be a whopping three and a half. It's an improvement from Survivor Series, that's for sure." Nikki bit down on her lip, obviously torn up about not having the amount of time she'd like to have as champion. AJ would have lengthy matches and even Charli as she once had it, but her time frames for matches seemed small, miniscule compared to past champions. Nikki opened her mouth before stopping and squinting. "Did you hear that?"
Maia squinted herself. "Hear what, Nicole?"
Silence between the three divas in the locker room, faint sound of light breathing before they heard it again.
Carson.
"Is that my last name I hear?" Maia asked, slightly terrified. "What the holy fuck...?"
Brie quickly grabbed at Maia's arm. "Don't go toward the door! It could be some crazed psycho out there who managed to get by security and wants to lure you out!" Maia turned her head, mirroring the same look Nikki had, which just simply asked wordlessly if she was serious. "After a break in, anything is possible, okay?"
The doorknob began to jiggle, the girls backing away from the door before it opened and Tenille—or in ring, named Emma—appeared and the girls collectively sighed. "Jesus Christ, you scared us..." Nikki breathed.
Tenille looked out the door and then back in. "You do know Nick is out there laughing his ass off, right? Why is he laughing?" The look on Tenille's face mirrored confusion. "What is going on?"
"I'm going to murder him..." Nikki replied through clenched teeth before Maia extended her arm in front of the Divas champion.
"Not if I get to him first. Tenille, please step aside before you witness a murder in the locker room." There was a darkness in Maia's eyes as she spoke.
Tenille dropped her bag an stepped aside. "I actually want to see this."
Maia opened the door, eyes noticing to the side Nick with his hand over his mouth, face borderline red from laughing so hard and tears in his eyes. His laughter only erupted once he realized how angry and tiny Maia was which made his laughs louder. "You guys were so terrified-"
"You're an asshole! That wasn't funny!" Maia said between hits to his arm, which made him laugh all over again. "Brie was terrified, you know that break in sucked ass."
"But you guys are Divas. Trained professionals to fight people off and you got scared from a few whispers and jiggling of a doorknob like this was a horror movie. Holy..." Nick started before laughing louder. Maia stood there with her hands on her hips, thinking about the situation, which led her to laughing herself. "You see? You were terrified over nothing!"
Maia shook her head, laughing before looking up at Nick. "Just like you're going to die later...over nothing. Sleep with one eye open, Nicholas."
Nick stopped laughing as soon as Maia called him by his full first name. "Wait, I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry." Stepping forward, his hands grabbed for her wrists, pulling her close to him before wrapping his arms around her waist. It mirrored how Dolph and Charli stood in the ring just the night before after the win he got on Raw. "I'm sorry. But it was too easy and I'm a jerk when it comes to pranks like this, okay? I admit it. I'm sorry. I apologize." The blue in his eyes were somber as they looked into the colored irises of Maia's eyes. With a sigh, Maia looked away, arms still by her sides. She actually did forgive Nick, she just wanted him to grovel for it. "Maia!"
"Yes?" Maia replied shortly. Nick sighed, the look of guilt over his face. "I heard you. Doesn't mean I'm not going to kill you."
"That's a double negative."
"Would you like your life to be a negative, because you're working diligently at that, Nicholas."
Nick flinched. "Stop calling me Nicholas, it let's me know I'm in trouble."
Maia scoffed. "Because you are! Right now, with me!"
"I apologized. I'm sorry, okay?"
"Please accept his apology, he looks like a wounded puppy and that's kind of sad..." Brie spoke from the door frame. Maia's eyes met the three females who were at the door.
Tenille just shrugged. "I was promised a death, this is why I'm still standing here."
Nick shook his head. "Listen to them, okay? Listen to your friends. They said forgive me."
"No, technically, Brie said to forgive you, not me. And we're not her friends, we're her best friends and what we say is pretty much golden rule." Nikki folded her arms across her chest, Maia couldn't help but smirk and nod.
"Since when are you two best friends?" Nick questioned.
Nikki shrugged. "Just now decided."
The blond looked down at the younger woman. "I thought Jon was your best friend."
"Please be specific. One Jon I haven't spoken to much, the other I take extra seconds trying to make sure I'm not confusing him and his brother, another one I see because of best friend with an identical face over there..." Maia trailed pointing at Nikki "and the last I hang around because I want to get into heaven."
"I was referring to the last one."
"Eh. Friendship up for debate" Maia added.
Nick sighed, clenching his jaw. "Are we still at least friends and stuff? Or is that up for debate too because of the stunt I pulled?"
Maia sighed, closing her eyes in the process. "No, we're still friends. You're a jerk, but at least you admit and own up to it."
Nick rested his forehead against Maia's. "Are you coming ringside?"
"I'm contractually bound to, so yeah." The young diva laughed before pushing away from Nick, who just nodded his head, smirk placed on his face. "I need to get dressed. Since you're covering the pink aspect of your shirt, I'll handle the blue. I like that one better anyway."
The blond male just nodded. "I'll wait for you right here."
The former Divas Champion stopped moving. "Your match is at the end of the show. That's a long time to stand outside of a locker room."
"Wait, you're not going to hang out here with me?" Nick asked.
Maia smirked and shrugged. "Let that be a lesson for being a jerk. I'll see you at nine!"
"It's six thirty now!"
"Go to catering!" Maia yelled, the girls laughing as the door closed. Nick laughed and shook his head before standing against the wall.
HEELZiggler: Never prank a girl. You'll be left to suffer and stand for hours. On leg day.
RealCharliWWE: HEELZiggler moral of the story, don't be a jerk.
Twenty minutes later, Maia left the locker room with two chairs and sat down, laughing at a pouting Nick.
Dressed in Dolph's "It's Too Bad I'm Too Good" shirt with blue accents, a black and blue jacket, black jeans with blue and white sneakers, Charli emerged from behind the curtain playing out to the crowd as Dolph did his usual entrance. The duo walked down the ramp together, Charli giving the crowd high fives and even going down to hug a boy who wore a Dolph Ziggler shirt in the crowd. Everything was normal with the two, a few stolen glances and a bit more touching could be seen though. As Dolph stood focused in the ring, Charli stood behind him, leaning against the ropes and tilting her head as if she were checking his ass out. Nodding and looking out at the crowd with a laugh, the young woman moved herself from the ropes and began to rub Dolph's shoulders with a smile.
The lights went out, Luke Harper's music playing with his titantron of his eyes moving. White Intercontinental Championship belt in hand, yet Dolph didn't pay attention to that. Grabbing hold of Charli's hand, the blond man made the former Divas champion look over at him, speaking softly and telling her to stay away from Luke and to stand ringside, safe from harm. Charli nodded and exited the ring as Luke approached, Dolph pacing back and forth in the ring. The two met damn near face to face, Charli biting down on her lip in terror for Dolph as the bell rang.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the WWE Intercontinental Championship!" Eden Stiles announced, Charli clapped from ringside. "Introducing first, the challenger. From Hollywood, Florida weighing in at 213 pounds, Dolph Ziggler!" Dolph pandered to the crowd as the sounds of cheers roared through the arena. "His opponent, weighing in at 275 pounds, he is the Intercontinental Champion, Luke Harper!"
Charli covered her mouth with her hands, closing her eyes as the belt was raised and sighed as the bell rang. This match was going to be the death of her.
Charli's head was in her hands as Dolph laid on the outside of the ring, Luke Harper fast to find him. The larger man grabbed hold of Dolph, easily throwing him over the announce table and Charli gasped and took a few steps forward before the words Dolph spoke earlier about her being safe rang in her ears. Instead she just cheered for him, pleaded for him to be okay and to get up and keep fighting. Luke didn't take heed to it, looking over at the small girl before throwing chairs and tossing Dolph back over the announce table. Grabbing Dolph once again, Luke aimed to throw him back into the ring before they were counted out. With quickness, Dolph stopped himself and geared up, a superkick landed right on the chin of Luke Harper. Charli cheered, jumping up and down in joy as the count the referee was currently at eight.
"Dolph come on!" Charli yelled before watching the blonde climb and roll into the ring just before the count of ten. Dolph had won the match, but he didn't win the title. Luke rose from the floor, throwing chairs and kicking JBL's hat before entering the ring and attacking Dolph Ziggler once, ramming him down to the mat. Charli quickly climbed into the ring, checking on the blond before seeing Luke return. She quickly crawled to the corner, Dolph struggling to stand. Luke held the title in hand, focused on Dolph before charging at him. The former Intercontinental champion ducked under the force of the belt, leaped up as high as he could before grabbing hold of Luke and bringing him down to the mat with a forceful Zig Zag. Dolph scurried to the other end of the ring, Charli following suit and making sure he was okay, placing her hands at the sides of his face and examining him, running her fingers through his fluffy hair before the referee came to raise his hand in victory.
"What are your plans for Thanksgiving holiday, Maia?" Brie asked the young woman just as she began to change into a bigger sweater since the cold had been kicking ass. "I know you don't have much family."
Maia shook her head. "No, I hardly have any, that's the right term you were looking for..." she started with a sigh. "I don't know. I could see my older brother Chris, but you know how he and I are, I don't even want to think of spending a holiday with him. I could see my sister Reagan, but I think she's off traveling the world with her boyfriend. I could be wrong about that. I don't know, maybe I'll see my aunt and uncle, they've always been good to me. Or maybe I'll bother Jon, I heard Vegas is good most times of the year."
"What about your mom?" Nikki asked.
Brie gasped and hit Nikki in the arm. "Nicole!"
"Ow, Brianna, what? Oh shit..." Nikki spoke, realizing she shouldn't have spoken about Maia's mother. "Maia, I'm so sorry, okay? I forgot, I forget things like this because I'm an idiot at times. I'm so sorry-"
"Nikki!" Maia spoke with a small smile. "It's okay. It's been like twenty years. I'm okay. Maybe I'll just stay home, you know, Florida and just relax there. Eat a TV dinner or something."
Clearing of a throat was heard, all eyes landing near the door. "Or, you could always come hang out with me?"
"People could be naked in here, Nick."
"With the door open?" Nick asked. Maia rolled her eyes. "Thought so. Listen, I'm not saying come and spend the whole holiday when I know you don't want to, but I'm thinking you'll be in Florida, I'll be in Florida...why not spend some of the day together? We can even do the cheesy Black Friday shopping. "
Maia shook her head. "I hate Black Friday, I'm terrified I'm going to be trampled or something. I'm tiny."
"Maia..." Brie spoke this time. "Go. No one should spend holidays alone."
"I thought you lived in Arizona?" Maia asked Nick as they drove to the airport together. The ride was mostly silent since the young woman barely agreed to go to Nick's home for Thanksgiving, she was just going to appease everyone else. "What's in Florida?"
"You." Nick smiled softly, looking over at the female. "Actually, I was supposed to go and spend it with my family over in Cleveland, but you're all by your lonesome. You're my partner in crime now, can't have you by yourself on a day full of turkey and stuffing and cranberry sauce."
Maia scoffed. "I actually hate cranberry sauce."
"You are the devil!" Nick shouted from the driver's seat. "What do you mean you don't like cranberry sauce! You drink cranberry apple juice!"
The younger woman laughed. "Exactly! I drink Cranberry apple juice, meaning it has to be mixed in order for me to want to drink it. As for the sauce, I was never one for cranberries or cranberry sauce and it's even worse if it's coming out of a can."
"Canned cranberry sauce is rank. It's disgusting and should be banished." The two arrived at the airport, sighing and shutting off the car as they dropped it off at the car rental place. Maia rested her hand on Nick's shoulder and blinked. "What's wrong?"
"I appreciate you, Nick. God, I really do. You should go to Cleveland with your family. You've got Ryan and your parents who don't see you as much. I get to see your handsome mug every day while we're touring—even more now since we're slated to be together on the show. I mean it, next year, I am all yours. You can kidnap me and tie my hands together with one of your headbands-"
Nick raised an eyebrow. "Kinky."
"Shut up, you perv. I mean it, you can hold me hostage and you can drag me to Arizona or Cleveland, wherever you're going for the year and I will not put up a fight. But you deserve to be with your family, and they deserve to have you to themselves, not with the girl you've recently been around who works with you." Maia smiled brightly, meaning every single word she spoke.
The blond looked down at his hands and smirked. "Does this mean you plan on keeping me around for a long haul?"
The former Divas champion smirked. "As long as you don't annoy me, I can see you sticking around for another 365 days."
"Promise?"
"No, because they're made to be broken." Maia retorted quickly. "But I do mean it and I plan to stand by it. Go home. I can always just be alone, hell if it's too depressing, I will fly my ass to Vegas and bother Jon, he's spent a Thanksgiving with me before anyway, we get along rather well."
Nick just sighed, nodding his head. "You make sure, you have fun for the day, okay? Don't be alone."
"For the sake of not getting maimed and killed by a Bella?" Maia asked with a smirk.
The blond male just shook his head. "No, for the sake of me."
With a smile and a sigh, the young woman nodded. "You've got it."
Walking through the small park in Orlando, near the performance center, Maia loved the decent weather she had here. Granted, she walked around in one of Nick's Kent State hoodies that she borrowed—which was more like stole but she didn't want to admit that—and a tank top with distressed black jeans and Air Max sneakers, she loved the peace and quiet. Jon decided he'd spend Thanksgiving with her in Florida since she came to Vegas last time and was going to take a flight that should have left about an hour ago. They'd have a late dinner together, sleep until noon since they barely get good nights of sleep anymore, and then possibly do shopping or she'd show him around the parts of Orlando he may not have seen. Looking down at the ground, a small dog came to her feet and with a smile, Maia bent down and scratched the dog's head. "Well aren't you a cutie? Are you lost? Where's your master, huh?"
"Kevin! You can't just...Maia?"
Maia's eyes met familiar brown ones. "Colby?"
"What are you doing in Florida?" Colby asked as Maia stood, hoodie hanging off her shoulder.
"I live here. We have Thanksgiving off, so I figured I'd come back home. You? Last time I heard—which is every match you're announced to contend in—you're from Davenport, Iowa and this isn't Davenport."
Colby laughed. "I came to see Kevin and spend some time with some old friends. I even hear Jon is coming here so maybe we can catch up since I haven't really spoken to him too much."
Maia nodded. "I'll let him know. He's spending the holiday with me since you know, family isn't an option for him."
"It's not one for you either?" Colby asked, leaning against a small piece of railing. It was then that Maia fully caught a glimpse of him. He wore a graphic tee, as he always does it seems when she's near him, perfect fit blue jeans and black vans with a white sole that looked just like the pair Nick wore all the time. His hair was hidden underneath a snapback, his eyes behind his glasses. Colby felt like a jackass after seeing Maia's face when bringing up her family, which she just caught his gaze and then continued to play with Kevin. "Sorry."
"No harm, no foul. You didn't know. No. No family for me. The little I have, I don't talk to for reasons..." Maia smiled softly at Kevin who sat patiently at her feet. "But if you happen to run into the Bellas before I do when we get back on the road, I wasn't alone today."
Colby smirked and nodded. "No problem. I'll tell them how you spent the day with a lovely guy named Kevin that I know in Orlando. Then you decided to take a walk with me for a bit before picking up Jon from the airport and spending time with him."
This time, the young woman stood and placed her hands on her hips. "Is that so? I'm just going to take a walk with you and leave the amazing Kevin? I don't think so."
"Well, Kevin is coming with us. As his master, I'm sure he's going to listen to me and we can all just take a nice walk together. It's Thanksgiving, what do you have to lose?"
"It's not Christmas, I don't have to be in a joyful mood..." Maia joked with a laugh lacing her speech. "But, in the spirit of Turkey day, for the turkeys who have lost their lives to be on tables nationwide today...I guess I can spend some time with you and Kevin." Colby smiled a bright smile, one Maia couldn't actually look away from while following the hyperactive little dog and alongside Colby. "So wait, who was watching Kevin while you were away?"
"Leighla." Colby responded.
Maia's eyebrows furrowed. "Who?"
"My ex girlfriend. We ended on slightly good terms and so I get to see this little guy when I come home. She doesn't travel too much and since he's used to her, I keep Kevin around her." Colby spoke, looking down at the tiny Yorkie. "I have to make sure he's okay, he's half blind you know."
Maia let out a small gasp. "I didn't know that! Poor baby, aw Kevin."
Colby smiled. "Yeah, he was hit by a car before and he almost died. He had to re-learn everything. Even potty training."
"Ah, the fun times, potty training..." Maia chuckled. "Bad ass heel in the business, has a tiny little Yorkie named Kevin who he loves. I'm going to plaster this all over dirt sheets."
Colby laughed a hearty laugh, a real laugh, not his heel laugh that seemed more like a cackle, but a real one. "Good luck with that, it'll only make me a chick magnet."
"No, it'll make Kevin a chick magnet. Isn't that right boy?" Maia asked in a baby voice, Kevin's little tail wagging happily. "So no actual plans of food and laughter for you on Thanksgiving?"
The older man laughed a bit. "I don't know if you've seen my Instagram, but it's mainly a bunch of fitness stuff like Kliff bars and Progenx stuff. I eat food, but me cooking it? Good luck. What about you?"
"Jon is coming in like three or four hours and I last minute bought a small enough turkey for he and I so we can attempt to have a normal Thanksgiving. I'm known for cooking when I'm home." Maia looked down at her feet, hands in the oversized Kent State hoodie. "It'll probably be enough left over I could feed some of the Divas roster."
"And me. Can't forget me. And Kevin, the new love of your life that you met today."
"Can't forget Kevin. Kevin gets first crack at the white meat..." Maia joked. "I guess I could feed you. Can't let you live on Kliff bars and protein shakes on a day full of cheat days, carbs and sleep."
Colby smirked ad looked down at the hoodie she wore, clenching his jaw just a bit. "Save some for your loverboy, huh?"
"Are you calling yourself or Jon that?"
"Nick, actually." Colby whistled lowly for Kevin who stopped running too far ahead. "Where is he anyway?"
"Cleveland last he told me. Spending it with his family, like I told him to do. He wanted to make sure I wasn't alone. I told him to go be with his family. I guess it worked out right, if he came, I wouldn't have met the love of my life, Kevin" the young woman responded with a laugh. "But he's not my loverboy. We're friends. We're in a storyline together. Nothing more, nothing less."
Maia missed the smirk on Colby's face. "Okay. Just making sure. I'd hate to see Kevin go after Nick's ankles for your love and affection." The older man chuckled as his hands dove into his pockets. They walked in a comfortable silence, walking along the trees and grass, Kevin barking at other passing dogs with a wagging tail, the two adults laughing at the tiny little Yorkie. "I'm glad I ran into you."
"Why?"
"Because every time I actually see you, I have to be in Seth mode, which is probably not helping my case in the 'I'm not a wild card' argument..." Colby started. "but I'm glad to see you now, when I'm me and no need to be someone else. I meant what I said, when I said I wanted to prove to you I'm not who everyone thinks I am—some...guy who has a hard time separating on screen from off screen. I'm a good dude."
"Only good dudes with a shady character say that."
Colby scoffed. "Seth Rollins is shady and he's a character, so yeah."
Maia couldn't help but laugh. "I didn't mean it that way."
"I know you didn't. Look, we have all of this time to cross paths and try and work on a friendship. You have my number, use it sometime. I have to get Kevin back to Leighla and I should start getting ready to hang out with some friends tonight. You have to be all...domesticated and non-sailor mouthed Maia and cook food."
"I'm cooking for Kevin, he deserves the best."
"And I don't? Again, you're hurting me here, Maia..." Colby laughed.
"You'll live." Maia's phone began to ring, Nick's number appearing on the screen. "I should start heading back, you're right, I have to be a proper female."
Colby shook his head. "You are one."
After hitting the side of her phone to lower the ringer volume, Maia looked back up at Colby. "I'll make sure I give Jon the message about going out with you and friends tonight."
Nodding, the two-toned hair colored man spoke. "You should come too, you know."
"Maybe."
"Maybe is better than flat out no." Colby looked down at Kevin and nodded in the direction out of the park. "Ready to go, boy?" His eyes of brown, soft brown that Maia knew were just Colby's and not Seth's met hers. "Happy Thanksgiving, Maia."
"Happy Thanksgiving to you too." As the two parted ways, Maia dialed Nick back, getting his voice mail. "Hey, sorry I missed your call, I was out taking a walk and I didn't want to be rude in the middle of a conversation with someone. I'm actually on my way back home and I'm gonna start cooking so if you're bored doing whatever Nick Nemeth's of the world do...call me back, okay? Or FaceTime me, I think I might actually miss your mug and roots that need to be dyed."
Maia didn't have much, but she did have a lot on her mind now.
Like I said above, keep the reviews/comments coming because I like to know what you guys think while reading the story! Who do you think she should be with? What's the deal with Colby? How sweet is Nick? How hilarious are the Bellas at times? What about Maia? What about Maia's friendship with Jon? Tell me because I write this for you guys and seeing your guys' love, makes this all worth it.
