Never Let Go

Chapter 71: Special Wink

Maya is curled up on the sofa with a notebook on her lap. While I stand in the doorway I watch her for a breif moment before speaking up. She's staring at the TV in a trance state, not really watching it - she looks like she is in deep thought. She eventually snaps out of her trance and begins to doodle in her notebook.

"Hey, P.Y.T, what are you up to?" I asked with a smirk as I leaned against the door frame with crossed my arms.

She lifts her head up and her eyes lock on to me from across the room.

"P.Y.T?" She said curiously with a grin.

"Pretty young thing." I flash a cheeky smile and attempt- poorly attempt a wink, making Maya giggle.

"What was that?"

"What was what?"

"That weird blink you just did."

"It was a wink."

"A wink?" She lowers her eyebrows and laughs a bit harder.

"Yeah, I know... I'm not the best winker." I laugh softly, feeling my cheeks burn.

"Aw, Michael." She frowns, trying to suppress another giggle. "You can't wink? I've known you for so long - how didn't I know that?"

"It's not something I do often." I chuckle. "Although, I probably would do it more often if I could actually do it."

"That's really cute." She grins and bites her lip. "At least I don't have to worry about you winking at other girls. They would probably think you had a problem or something."

"Funny." I smirk and roll my eyes. "You don't have to worry about that anyway. I would never wink at someone else. You're the only lucky one who gets my special wink."

"Blink." She giggles. "And it's special alright. I feel honoured."

"Thanks." I laugh and shake my head.

"I mean it in a good way. It's really cute, and just when I thought you couldn't be any cuter. Feel free to throw me your special blink any time."

"If it means I get to see that pretty smile then I will."

Her cheeks begin to turn pink and she bites down on her bottom lip. She becomes embarrassed and breaks eye contact, fixing her gaze on to the TV. I lick my lips and smile at her shy reaction.

"Do you want to watch a movie?"

"Yeah, ok." She nods and flicks her eyes back to me.

"You can pick what we watch. I'll get us some snacks."

"Ok."

I come back with popcorn, chocolate, a couple cans of soda, and a couple of other snacks to keep us going. I sit on the sofa and Maya examines everything I've just put on the coffee table.

"No hot sauce?" She raises an eyebrow.

I smirk and pull a bottle from my jean pocket. She looks surprised and starts to laugh.

"I couldn't juggle everything in here."

She moves up from the end of the sofa and snuggles up next to me. I drape my arm around her and kiss her head before looking at the TV.

"Did you find anything to-" I stop what I'm saying and my eyes widen as I take a double look at what's on the TV. "What's this?!" I exclaim.

"I don't know!?" Maya exclaims back at me and laughs at my reaction.

"They're having a threesome!"

"How come you're acting like you never seen a threesome before?" She smirks.
