Wounded

Chapter Eleven

You enjoyed the rest of the team, but it was time to go home.

Everyone else had already left, you and Maya had stayed back to finish cleaning up.

"I really had a lot of fun this week." You said, putting the last dish away.
"I did too. I'm really glad you came." She wrapped her arms around your waist.
"You know what?" You asked.
"What?"
"You're cute."
"And you're cheesy. C'mon let's get you home so you can see Miss Kitty."

The two of you got in your car, and drove to your house.

You unlocked the door, and walked inside. "Miss Kitty Fantastico? Mommys home!" You shouted through the house.

Maya saw a girl pop her head up from the couch, "She's over here Y/N."
"Awe hi baby! Mama missed you." You said snuggling the cat.

"I'm Lexie by the way." She held her hand out to Maya.
"Maya." Maya shook Lexie's hand.
"Oh yeah Lex this is my girlfriend, Maya this is Lexie. My brothers ex girlfriend." You said, still snuggling your cat.
"I fell asleep this morning after feeding her. We had a rough night at the hospital." Lexie said stretching.

"Do you need a ride home?" You asked.
Lexie checked her phone, "No thanks. Mark just pulled up. But I'll see you later. It was nice meeting you Maya!" Lexie hugged you, and walked outside.

"She's cheerful." Maya said.
"Very. But she's nice. You'll like her when you get to know her better."

Maya put your bags in your room, and walked back out into the living room.
"I guess I gotta go home..." She said sadly.
"I really don't want you to."
"I don't want to either."
"Can you stay tonight?" You asked pouting.
"I would love to." She gave you a kiss.

"You hear that Miss Kitty? Maya is gonna stay the night with us." You said picking her up.
She meowed in response.

"I think she likes you."
"Good. Cause I like her too." Maya said petting her.

Later on, the two of you had eaten dinner and was sitting on the couch watching tv.
Your phone rang and you looked down at it.
"Why the hell is my mom calling me?" You picked it up and answered the FaceTime call.

"Hey mom."
"Hi honey. How's your day?"
"Uh it's okay. What's up?" You got up and walked to the other side of the room.
"Can't a mom just call and check on her daughter?"
"Mom I haven't heard from you since Dad died."
"Well I'm sorry. That was hard on me too." She said with an attitude.
"Mom unless you really need something, I gotta go."
"I'm sorry. I just wanted to check on you."
"I'm doing okay. I've just been working a lot."

"You work too much. You're just like your father."
You smiled awkwardly and massaged the back of your neck.
"I just wanted to call and check on you. I love you sweetie."
"Love you mom." You hung up and walked over to Maya.

"She seems nice." Maya said pulling you next to her.
"I'm surprised she didn't ask me for money." You said rolling your eyes.
"Does she do that often?"
"She tries. Sometimes I can afford to give her some, sometimes I can't. It is what it is." You said shrugging.

"Let's not talk about it. Let's go to bed, we gotta get up early in the morning."
"Ugh I really don't want to go."

The two of you walked into the bedroom, and got in bed.
"Can't we just not go into work? I just wanna lay in bed with you all day."

"Y/N we have to. I'm Captain and you're dating the Captain."

"Ugh fine. Goodnight Maya."
"Goodnight Y/N."
