The Reunion (Part 1)

chapter 38

A week after going to the firehouse together, Maya had planned a meal at her place with Carina and Mason, who had just returned from Europe.

She had set the table and tidied up her apartment as if she was going to host the President of the United States.

The Italian had arrived first.
The blonde had come to open to her and she had let her return, limit without a glance, before returning in the kitchen.

-"are you okay?" Asked the brunette with a smile in the corner

-"Yes, I just need to get this out of the oven."

- "why did you set a table like it was New Year's Eve?" Asked the Italian as she entered the apartment and took off her coat.

- "for... You."

- "Maya it's just Mason and I"

- "yes, exactly!"

- "looks like you're going to introduce your new girlfriend to your homophobic father"

- "you haven't seen each other in a while and you both count so much..."

- "hey, relax..." She said as she came and put her hands on her waist.
The blonde had then turned around: "hey you"

- "hi"

- "I missed you..."

- "I missed you even more"

- "and you're gorgeous... The outfit is also for... Us?"

- "the outfit is for you"

- "I like it... A lot"

The blonde had put her arms on the brunette's trapeze, her hands crossed in the air.

"I love it when you put your arms around my neck." Carina whispered as she tightened her fingers on the blonde's waist and pulled her closer to her body.

- "okay so now I'm troubled, and not for the same reasons"

- "we sleep together tonight?" Asked the Italian in a deep and suave voice.

- "I uh..."

-"Maya it's been a week... I want to sleep with you, I want to get up and look at your face" she said, sliding her hands down her back.

The intercom had rung and the blonde had withdrawn her arms from her shoulders to leave in the direction of the door. Carina had caught her by the hand.

"I want an answer, before you go to open up," she made as she looked into her eyes, making it clear that this was an order.

- "y-yes."

The Italian had smiled and let go of her hand.

- "go open the door to your brother"

She had gone to the door and opened it for Mason, waiting next door for him to come up.

- "Mayaaa!!!" He said as he saw her from the top of the stairs.

- "Masoooon!"

She had come out on the doorstep and jumped into his arms.

- "how's my favorite sister?!"

- "I'm your only sister"

- "as far as we know! But you are still my favorite... So when is she coming?"

- "she's already here..."

He had started to walk towards the apartment, while still having Maya hanging around his neck. The Italian woman had come to the door.
