Inferno desires

32

Maya's POV:

Oh my gosh this is so exciting! Right now I'm on this cool plane that has so much candy on display, it's like a dream come true.

There are gummy bears, sour patch kids, kit-kat, nerds, basically just any candy you can think of. And of course I have to gobble them all up because it's flippin CANDY! And it was delicious.

I hop out of my seat, and scurry over to Xavy who was sleeping soundly on mamma's shoulder. Mamma was sleeping as well, and had her head layed upon his head.

"Xavy," I whisper crawling onto his lap as I squish his cheeks. "Xavy wake up."

"Mija im sleeping," he mumbles.

"Xavy wake up," I repeat. "I have to tell you something!"

"Is it important?"

"Yes you dummy," I say, opening his eyes with my hands.

"What are you doing," he mumbles, finally waking up and moving my hands away from his face.

"I'm tryna tell you something stupid," I say in a joking manner, poking his cheek.

He looks at me as he tries to hold back a smile. I know Xavy wants to smile, so after what I tell him he'll have no choice but to!

"What do you wanna tell me mija?" He asks, wrapping his arms around me and kissing the top of my head.

"You're my best friend, and I love you," I smile, tightening my arms around him.

I just want him to know how much I love him! He instantly made me feel comfortable as soon as I met him, and not to bash on mammas and my relationship, but Xavy is my bestest friend! I tell him everything, and I like how he actually listens.

Besides him, mamma, and Ayla, the rest of the adults in my life like my papa, grandparents, aunt, and uncle (beside's Nico) don't listen to me. They just talk and talk and talk, without actually understanding what I'm saying.

Mamma's body is so warm. Kind of like the herbal tea she makes me. I love when mamma lets me sleep with her because I always have a good sleep. Today I have woken up earlier than her, but I decide to not leave the bed.

I like being there when mamma wakes up so I can give her a big hug to start her day.

As I stay holding onto her, I hear a creak come from the opposite side of the door. I initially am spooked by this sound because what if there is an intruder in the house, but then my fear is overtaken by my desire to keep mamma safe.

I slowly get off of her, and grab the bat she keeps under her bed. She was sleeping so I definitely didn't want to wake her up, because if I did then she'd be grumpy for the whole day, and no one likes a grumpy mamma.

I slowly open the door, and spot a man with tattooed hands sitting on the couch in the living room. He had brown, almost black hair that looked very soft. I wanna touch his hair, oh my gosh it looks so silky!

I slowly creep towards him, and I then raise my bat.

"Sorry silky haired guy, but your reign of terror is over!" I state, swinging the bat blindly at him.

I have closed my eyes since I didn't want to see the aftermath of my actions. I didn't want to hurt him, I just wanted to scare him. He is a big guy. I'm assuming he can handle a few hits.

As my bat swings at him, he turns himself around just in time, and grabs the bat. His grey eyes look at me in curiosity as a small smile sets on his face.

"Well good morning to you too little girl," he chuckles, taking the bat away from me, and examining it.

"I-I'm gonna call the cops!" I state, raising my hands as if we are in a boxing match.

"Oh, so we're boxing aye?" He says, raising his hands into a boxing stance. "You're on!"

Whaa?! I never thought he'd actually accept this challenge? I thought he'd just ignore me.

"I was just joking. I'm way to strong for you," I state, lying through my teeth.

"Really? I'm scared," he says, throwing a blanket over his head trying to hide from me.

"I can still see you," I say.

"Liar! I'm invisible."

"No you aren't," I laugh. "You're right there," I say, pulling the blanket off of him.

He looks at me in shock.

"Are you a superhero?" He asks.

"Maybe," I say.

I wasn't going to tell him I wasn't. Duh.

"We'll do you need a sidekick? I've been looking for a person stronger than me, and I've finally found them," he says, crouching down to my level. "What do you say? Will you take me under your wing?"

I look at him. Contemplating if I should accept his request or not.

"Sure. But first I need to know your name," I say.

"It's Xavier."

"Xavier," I repeat. "That's a cool name, but I think Xavy would be even better!"

"That's cool," he smiles. "And your name?"

"Maya. Maya Myers."

"I love you as well Mija," he says. "Love you so much."
