Hi guys so it's 1am so I'm writing this in a delirious kind of state and it's not much of a chapter really I don't think, so...Yeah. Have fun. Fun fact: I've been an Arianator (Ariana Grande fan) since 2010, so I knew I had to add some sort of Ariana thing into this. Hahaha :) R&R TELL ME WHAT U WANNA SEE NEXT, MA DARLINGS! I love you all so much! Byeeee.
(MILES)
Miles and Maya had planned a date. Miles borrowed Chewie's favorite bow tie without asking, and put it on with a white button up. He personally thought it looked kind of dumb, but he thought Maya would like it. He wasn't sure why, but something about a bow tie screamed, 'Maya!'.
The date they were going on was at the local restaurant that Miles had heard people talk about over and over and over and...well, you get it. He'd never been because his father was way above chicken fingers or milkshakes. The only time Miles got junk food was while traveling with his mother.
The restaurant was called 'Little Miss Steaks', and Miles wasn't sure what the joke was, but apparently it was pretty funny if a restaurant was named that. It was Maya's choice. She said it was a surprise why they had to go that night, so Miles hoped it was some kind of event. But, Maya wouldn't give him a hint. They'd been texting all day and all night, but no hints. It was actually aggrivating. But in a cute way. Like a squirrel running in front of your car. You wanted to be mad, but you couldn't because it was cute.
(MAYA)
Maya put on her favorite outfit for karaoke night at Little Miss Steaks. She went every week and it was always fun, so she figured maybe Miles would like it. She had no idea if he liked to sing, but if he didn't, he probably still would sing with her. Like Cam did...
Maya's favorite outfit was a pair of paisley grey and black jeggings, a black v-neck, and her black Doc Martens. It seemed dark, but Maya really liked it and thought it made her look edgy. She wanted to be edgy. She didn't want to be the goody goody who dressed like everyone else because that was what was cool...Even if she kind of liked the current fashion, she usually didn't follow it.
"Ready?" She typed to Miles. "Ready as ever. :)" He typed back and Maya swooned. Their relationship was so...good. She loved being happy with Miles Hollingsworth. It was...happier than ever, or at least in a while.
Maya got a ride from Katie, who picked Miles up from Winston's address. Maya refused to say 'Chewie'. She thought it was dumb, even if it was kind of cute because Miles made it up.
Katie and Miles meeting wasn't as awkward as expected. Miles was a gentleman without being a suck-up. He complimented her raven black hair and said it was a nice color on her. Maya actually saw Katie blush, and made a mental note to slap her later. 'Mine. My boyfriend.' Maya thought quietly, as her fingers interlaced with her boyfriend's.
"By the way, I didn't want to be weird, but I love your bow tie." Maya saw a smile creep on his face. "I knew you would." She got on her tip-toes and kissed his cheek.
As we stepped in Little Miss Steaks, terrible singing was automatically heard. "By the way, it's Karaoke night and we're singing a song."
Miles laughed.
"I'm not kidding!" Maya spoke louder.
"Oh...shit. Yeah, that's not happening." He said, as a waitress I didn't recognize seated us.
"Yeah, right." I thought back to when Campbell said he wouldn't sing. He did. Different guy, same scenario. Way different guy.
The night consisted of small chat about school, books they'd read, Chewie's family's ridiculous rules, music and how cute the other was. They were on about their 30th time saying "No, you're cuter!" When the Deejay for the Karaoke got up on the small stage and said, "Any volunteers?" Maya grabbed Miles' hand before he could react.
"What song?" The Deejay asked Maya.
"The Way by Ariana Grande."
The man just smiled, and Miles gave Maya a look. He knew the song, yes, but he'd never admit it because that was girly.
"You know the rap, at least." Maya poked Miles' shoulder.
Miles shrugged slightly, again, pretending he didn't.
The song started and a smile appeared on both of their faces, and Miles started with the rap, stumbling only a little on the words, but staring at his girlfriend the whole time, putting his hands on her hips and she laughed.
"I think about her every second, every hour, do my singin in the shower pickin petals off of flowers like,
do she love me do she love me not?
I ain't a player I just crush a lot.."
Maya started singing.
"You give me that kind of somethin', want it all the time need it everyday,
On a scale of one to ten I'm at a hundred, never get enough, I can't stay away,
So if you want it, I got it, I got it everyday, you can get whatever you need from me,
Stay by your side, I'll never leave ya, and I ain't goin nowhere cause you're a keeper,"
Miles joined in on the chorus quietly.
"So don't you worry, baby you got me...I gotta bad boy I must admit it,
You got my heart dunno how you did it,
And I don't care who sees it babe, I don't wanna hide the way I feel
when you're next to me,
Baby I love the way, I love the way..."
When the song was done they got applause from the audience, and Miles did a bow, and Maya curtsied. They both got off the stage laughing and holding hands.
The couple paid for their dinner, (well, Miles did) and headed out holding hands again. They stopped against a car and kissed for a while. When they came up for air, Miles decided it was confession time.
"Maya, I think I love you."
Maya backed up with a paralyzing fear. She knew that saying I love you too early was going to be bad. But...maybe she did love Miles. She didn't know. It had been 3 months since they met in real life, a week or so since they started dating...Too early to say, honestly. But..Maya could love Miles. Apparently the silence killed Miles because he was looking at the ground.
"I get it, I shouldn't have said that."
"No, Miles, wait..."
"What, Maya? I just made an ass of myself. God damn it!" He kicked the tire of a car.
"No, you didn't, just calm down."
"Okay..." Miles said slowly, trying to calm himself.
Unluckily, he'd gotten his father's temper, but luckily, he'd learned to control it much better.
"Tonight was fun. Don't feel the pressure to say you love me if you don't."
Maya just nodded, still unsure if she loved Miles or not. She knew she liked him quite a lot, but love? It was very...quick to say that.
The rest of the night had an awkward tension, but it was still fun. They kissed a lot, held hands or held each other, but it was just a little off. When Katie dropped Miles off, she told Maya that she'd noticed they were off.
"What for?" Katie asked, quizzically.
"Um nothing. Just, a weird conversation."
"Tell meeeeee, now your big sis is curious. I promise I'll have advice!"
As if Katie's advice was a great big reason to tell Katie your personal life details. But, Maya needed to talk to someone and Tristan and Tori were out of the question, so...
"He said he loved me." Maya admitted.
"Woah, wow...That's um...How long have you known him?"
"A few months."
"Too soon. Did you say you love him too?"
"No, I didn't."
Katie sighed in relief. "Thank goodness. That would've been...weird."
The rest of the car ride was just listening to the radio. The Way came on and it reminded Maya of Miles and she smiled. Maybe she did love Miles after all...She just needed to think.
