gaiety

gaiety; noun: the state or quality of being lighthearted or cheerful.

i have never been truly gaiety before. it was always fake or half-way.

gaiety is a hard thing to be.

I felt such a beautiful amount of happiness as I left Topper's home. It's been a while since that has happened.

When I normally leave parties early, I am upset. Today, I left with a grin ear-to-ear.

"Logan? Is that you?" Maya whispers from the top of the stairs.

The whispering led me to believe she had just put Aria to bed.

"Yeah." I mumble back.

I hear her footsteps walk down the steps and I hope she's in a happy mood.

"Wasn't there a party tonight?" She questions.

"Yeah. I left early."

"Everything okay?"

"Yeah. It was great." I smile.

She nods, convinced. Maya isn't the type of person who believes you quickly. She needs more of an explanation, but she seemed content with the information I gave her.

"Where's Ben?"

"The Cameron's. He's with Wheezie."

"Ah." I laugh.

Maya and I always teased Ben for that. We all thought he had a thing for her and we never let him live it down.

"He painted his nails before he went though." She adds.

I'm not saying a boy painting their nails is bad, but.. isn't that? You know what, it doesn't matter.

If he's homosexual, transgender, etc. I don't mind. It's none of my business. If and when he wants to talk about it, I'll let him. I'm not the person to assume his sexuality-- or anyone's.

"What color?"

"A blue he found in your bathroom."

I smile, knowing which she's talking about.

"You seem very gaiety tonight." She smiles.

"Gaiety?" Questioning the word I'm not familiar with.

We continue to stand in the entryway. I shuffle my car keys in my hands.

"Lighthearted or cheerful."

"I guess."

I was. Very.

I had just become closer with the Maybank boy and already felt a special connection.

We were just friends..

with benefits.

But I couldn't stop myself from feeling extremely connected to him.

"I'm gonna go to bed." I smile.

"Goodnight, my Logophile."

I went upstairs and immediately checked my phone.

I didn't want to be obsessive, but I couldn't stop myself.

When I was about 9 years old, my dad took my into the woods with a bunch of wood planks and we spent all day, and part of the night, building a tree house.

I've never taken anyone here.

I felt JJ would be the person I would share it with.

He gets things.

he gets me.

I hope he likes the tree house. It used to be run down and old but I added a few things to make it mine.
