*Recap for those of you that didn't read the last chapter* Maria and Hawk skipped school again to get tattoos. Hawk got the one of the bird on his back and Maria got one that said Mamacita in cursive a few inches underneath her left breast. That's it be sure to read!

"I need somewhere romantic, but not too romantic." Miguel said, looking at his friends as they stretched.

Maria was shocked that her brother asked out Sam LaRusso, she had no idea he had a thing for her. Maria was a little worried, considering Sam used to be a bully, but if her brother liked her than who was she to tell him no?

It's been a week since Yasmine's post and Connor leaving Maria's life. She's mostly better, but she has dreams. Dreams of reliving the moment in the cafeteria, and she hasn't told anyone this yet.

Maria leans down and stretches her legs across Hawks, pecking his lips with a gentle kiss.  He smirks at her, and Maria returns it with a smirk if her own.

"You could take her to get tattoos," Hawk suggests.

For a moment, Miguel is silent, but then his eyes shoot to Maria and he gasp's. "Is that what you guys did yesterday?"

Maria and Hawk give each other a glance before standing, Maria pulling open her gi and Hawk taking his off completely. They showed off their tattoos.

"Oh, shit." Miguel whispers. "Mom's going to kill you."

Maria ties her gi back up and sits down with a shrug. "What she doesn't know won't hurt her."

"Those are badass," Aisha says, looking between the two.

"Fourteen hours in the chair for me," Hawk says, flexing in the mirror.

"Mmm, do it again," Maria said to her boyfriend.

He followed orders and did it one last time before continuing to stretch.

"Wait, are your parents okay with that?" Aisha inquires, looking specifically at Hawk, considering Maria already gave her opinion on the parental matter.

"Uh, they have no idea." Hawk replies. "I'm definitely going to have to wear a Tshirt 'till college, probably longer. Please don't tell them."

Maria chuckled and kissed his lips again. "Uh . . . any other suggestions?" Miguel inquired, trying to get the four back on track.

"Don't look at me," Aisha puts her hands up in a surrendering manner. "Sam and I used to be friends. We're not anymore."

"Please?" Miguel begged. "I need your help."

Aisha sighed. "Fine, I know she likes chocolate and astronomy."

The four stretched in silence for about two seconds, before sensei's yells echoed from his office. "Banned? You don't ban be, I ban you!" Several bangs sounded.

Miguel gave Maria a worried look before jumping to his feet and sprinting towards the office.

"Wonder what's got him all worked up," Hawk says.

"He does have some issues with his anger." Aisha noted.

"Yeah, but he's a good guy." Maria assures. "He definitely has some issues though, who doesn't?"

The Ecuadorian girl shifts moving to sit in between Hawks legs, stretching her limbs out in a 'v' shape along his. They stretch together with Aisha, getting in a productive practice.

"Want to go out tonight?" Hawk asked Maria as they walked home. Miguel had already gotten home, knowing that his sister and Hawk liked this time with just the two of them.

"Sure, since Miggy has his date with Sam, and my mom's working extra hours it would be just me all alone at home." Maria informs. Hawk immediately perks up at the idea of an empty house, and she feels bad about raining on his parade when she adds, "Except for my grandma."

"Where do you want to go?" Hawk inquired.

"Oh, we could go on a double date with Miguel and Sam!" Maria realizes.

"Uh . . ."

"Uh, what?"

"It's nothing," Hawk meets her questioning eyes and lets out a sigh. He can't keep anything from her. "It's just . . . going on a date with my girlfriend and my best friend, who happens to be my girlfriends brother . . . kind of awkward."

"Please, babe?" She yanked on his arm that was draped over her shoulders lightly. "It'll be fun!"

"You have to ask Miguel and Sam." Hawk's grasping at straws now. "Or . . ."

"Or what?"

He sends her a smirk. He waits until they come to a complete stop in front of Maria's apartment before speaking, pecking her lips and holding her hands in his. "Or you could just come over to my place . . . we could order pizza since my Mom's on a business trip . . . go for a night swim in the heated pool?" 

"Mhmm," Maria takes a deep breath and closes her eyes, picturing all the things Hawk speaks of. Just thinking of them makes her smile. "When does your mom get back from her business trip?"

"Tuesday," Hawk replies with grin, leaning down to meet her lips for a goodbye kiss.

"Then we can do all the wonderful things you speak of tomorrow, and go on a double date tonight!" Maria swoops away, leaving Hawk where he is without a kiss goodbye, smirking at him as she waves goodbye over her shoulder from the doorway.

Hawk chuckles to himself. He's falling hard for her, he knows it. Maria is the one. He's positive.
