Chapter 25

Alex's POV

As I load the bags into the car Maya groans even louder. She has taken her place on the steps, refusing to help me with our luggage, not that I mind. But she has been complaining with every bag I bring out, she doesn't want to leave.

I close the trunk, rest on my hands and look at her. She is laying down on the steps with her head halfway buried in her arms.

"Baby we can come back anytime you want"

"Can we come back tomorrow?" she says in a whisper knowing I will hear her.

"No" I laugh and step closer to her. "Lily wants to spend some time with you and I have some things to take care of. After that we can do whatever you want."

"Fine" she sighs and stands up. "If I am grumpy, it will be all your fault."

"You can take a bath in your favorite bath tub tomorrow night?" I say with a cheesy smile as she walks to the passenger side of the car.

"Yeah we'll see" she mumbles and gets in the car. I only laugh and shake my head.

She really isn't happy about leaving and her misery makes me smile because this means she is comfortable with us being alone.

Coming here was a really big step and I was honestly stressed about it. I was scared she would climb in her shell and worry about unnecessary things.

But she didn't. We were here for a whole week and it was honestly the best week of my life. I could kiss her whenever I want and cuddle with her everyday. We didn't think about anything or anyone else then our time together. That was are main focus and it makes me so happy.

The drive back too town is long and quiet but a comfortable quiet. Maya hasn't let go of my hand since we pulled away from the cabin. She is quietly mumbling along with the song on the radio and every now and then I will glance at her.

She is absolutely fucking breathtaking.

They way her blonde hair falls over her shoulders, giving off a beautiful golden glow from the sun and the extra brightness of her blue eyes makes me hold my breath. I could stare at her the whole day. Then of course that infectious smile she has that takes me to another world. I would do anything to keep her smiling like that for the rest of her life.

She deserves everything.

"Baby do you want something to eat?" I ask, lightly squeezing her hand.

"Are you sure?" she laughs. "Roadside diners have a really distinctive fried-food smell. I don't think you would like it"

I smile at het thoughtfulness towards my absolute hatred for human food but I know she needs too eat. She was being a little bitch about breakfast this morning, so she didn't eat anything.

"I'll be fine."

But I wasn't fine....

Ten minutes into Maya's brunch I couldn't handle the smell. I don't know how that place is still open. There is absolutely no fucking way it passes the health inspection.

Maya sensed my struggle and took her food to go. I objected to the idea but she simply ignored me and did it anyway.

And now driving down the road again, I feel much better. I only smell her food and even though it's still horrible, I can handle it for her.

"I am going to miss you tonight." she whispers and rubs my thigh.

"Me too baby" I give her a small smile.

She and Lilly planned a girls night for her last night in their house. Lilly offered to help Maya pack and then bring her over tomorrow afternoon. I actually encouraged it because I can understand how Lilly must feel. Her best friend is moving out. They have spent the last few months together and this might be an emotional moment for her. She will still see her all the time but things will change.
