I felt bad about not updating in a little while so, to make up for it, here's an update on what's happening in the world of Ms. Maya Heart! ;)

CrazedAndConfusedFor5SOS said: I didn't realize I needed this chapter until I saw you made a post. This chapter did answer some questions I had and it made me happy to see Riley have an outburst. She was always everyone's rock and I'm glad to see that when she needed someone to be her rock she got one.

Reply: Yeah, Riley deserves to have someone to lean on. I was writing last time and I don't know why but, I just really wanted Riley to just lay it on them. I think I just like seeing her go crazy every once in a while lol.

Enjoy the chapter! Review if you like it, if you don't then let me know how I can improve! Thanks!

Maya could not keep the smile off her face, no matter how hard she tried. It was early afternoon, her mom and Shawn were both gone off to work. After waking up with Josh, they had laid around for a long while, neither of them wanting to leave. Now, though, Josh was taking a shower and she was attempting to cook them breakfast.

If she were being honest, her cooking probably wasn't the best idea. She hardly ever cooked anything seeing as Riley and her mostly ate take out, plus she just generally sucked at cooking. Looking around the cabin, she found what she needed to make mac n cheese, the one thing she rocked at making. She started the noodles before walking over to the living room to turn on the stereo.

Swaying her hips to the music, Maya went back to the kitchen and started setting her and Josh's places at the counter. When that was done, she went to check the noodles. She hadn't realized she was still moving to the beat until she felt hands on her waist. She stopped moving and, as she felt lips on her neck, let her head fall back against a muscled chest.

She hummed contently and he chuckled. " What are you making?" he whispered in her ear.

It took a moment for her brain to start working again. " Mac-n-cheese"

" Sounds good" she felt him smile as he rested his head on her shoulder. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she felt safe and happy. It was such a nice feeling. She wanted to stay here, with Josh, forever.

A while later, after Maya and Josh had finished eating and cleaning up the kitchen, they were laying down on the couch in the living room. Well, Josh was laying on the couch, Maya was laying on top of Josh.

They weren't really doing anything except enjoying each other's company. Josh was running his fingers through her hair and she was about to fall back asleep because it felt so good.

" Remember the first time we ran into each other at college?" he asked randomly.

" Yeah, why?"

" God, I hadn't even recognized you. You were so different from when you were younger and good lord, you were stunning."

" The first time you saw me I was wearing yoga pants and a tank top." she said incredulously.

" I have never appreciated yoga pants so much in my life" he joked.

Maya smacked his chest for the comment but smiled all the same. She remembered college days with him vividly.

" Remember when we were going through one of our dating phases and I saw you across the lawn with that other chick? I completely lost it on you, right in front of everyone." she laughed.

" Ha! Yeah, man, I don't even remember her name now. But I remember how scared she looked when you came at us like that. You looked so pissed!" he exclaimed.

" I was! I thought you were cheating on me!" she defended herself.

" I'd be an idiot to do that. I would never cheat or leave you" he said, leaning up to give Maya a peck on the lips.

When he pulled away, he was smiling. She wasn't. She didn't understand why he had to bring that up right now. They had been having a moment and he had to bring him into it.

Maya pushed away from Josh in frustration and went upstairs to her room. She shut the door before he could follow her. She made her way t the bed and curled up. The tears were already pricking the back of her eyes but she refused to cry. Instead, she just lay there staring out a window.

Short and well, mostly sweet ;)

Thanks for reading, leave a review to let me know what you think!
