"What's the matter, Riles? You almost don't look happy to see me." Maya teased. I tried to smile but I ended up with the look on my face that I would have if I was going to walk passed my parents and then sneak onto the subway. Maya giggled at that, the way she does when she thinks I'm being "adorable".
"Well come on, Riley." Maya said taking my hand and dragging me out the door.
"Maya, wait." I finally managed to say. "I'm still in my pajamas..." I needed an excuse. I needed to find a way to escape Maya's sudden change of attitude toward me.
"Alright, I'll meet you in front of the building in 10 minutes." Maya winked at me again.
"Okay..." I responded. She squeezed my hand then let go and walked out of my apartment. I let out a sigh of relief. Maya looks really good walking away... wait, what?
"Honey is something wrong between you and Maya? Did you have an argument? You two were acting very strange." Mom said.
"It's just...girl drama." I told her and walked up to my room. Definitely GIRL drama. I went into my room and closed the door. But I still felt uneasy. Maya could come in the window, or she could be here already, in my closet or...oh gosh...what if she's hiding in my bathroom? I checked everywhere to be sure she wasn't around before changing. Once I had changed I was too nervous to go meet up with her right away. Maya came into the window.
"It's been longer then 10 minutes, Riles." Maya said walking over to me. I was trying my best not to show my fear, not to back away. Maya approached me and wrapped her arms around me. I forced my arms to move and hug her back. After that I felt a little bit better near her.
"I'm sorry, Maya" I choked out.
"sorry for what?" Maya questioned.
"I'm sorry that you felt this way all this time and I openly obsessed over guys I liked in front of you..." I explained.
"Don't worry, Riles. One day you're gonna love me like I love you. I know you will." Maya smirked at me. I felt a little uncomfortable so I backed away from her. But every time I took a step back, she took a step closer. I took another, so did she, and another. Then I was against the wall. Maya decided to close the distance between us. She had me pinned against the wall. she put her hands on the wall on each side of me, and leaned her body against me. I could hardly breathe. Her lips were so close to mine... it sent tingles throughout my whole body. I don't know exactly how this happened, but I found myself closing my eyes and reaching for my best friend's lips...
