That was so stupid of me. How can I just ask her to stay with me? No idea what she would have thought about me. Hope she didn't get any bad ideas from me. But I couldn't just let her go. It has been a long time since I felt someone's presence in my life. Now I have her and I don't want her to leave me alone here and leave.

After Maeve went to the office, I literally had nothing to do. I was used to being alone, never got bored. But now things were different. I played my guitar a couple of times and was eagerly waiting for her to come home after work.
Maeve was home around 6 in the evening. She even bought me a pair of shirt and pants. She said it was a gift for my performance the previous day. It was exciting to receive a gift from Maeve. But the real gift was when she told that she is ready to share the rent with with me and will stay here for the time being. I couldn't control myself hearing that and hugged her real tight. Again, hope she didn't get any bad ideas about me.
From that day, I felt out of the world each day. I really enjoyed her company. Maeve would wake me up every morning. We would cook the breakfast together. Then she goes to her job and I engage myself with the practice sections. She said we could take turns sleeping in the bed, since she is planning to stay for a loooooooong time. But I convinced her to sleep on the bed every day.
She's more talkative nowadays. Some days we sit on the balcony with a cup of coffee and talk for hours. She told me about her life back home with her parents. It was so evident she missed them a lot. I tried to talk her into going and meeting them. But I failed. She has a lot of regrets, I guess. She said she don't have the courage to face them right now. Well, let her take her time then, I thought.
We spend weekends walking around and exploring the city. She loves to show me around and describe the scenery to me. I'm sure her words make the place more beautiful than it actually is. Last sunday she took me to this fancy restaurant. I had some mouth watering dishes I have never had before. And she has promised to take me back there the next sunday.
And one day, "Hey Zane, let's go for a walk."
"Now? First, it's midnight already. And second, I am in the middle of something."
"A couple of dishes to be washed can wait Zane. But I cannot. Come with me." Without waiting for my answer, she dragged me out by my collar.

As soon as I stepped out, I could feel the cold breeze on my face. "Well, I think it was a good idea. Such a pleasant climate for a walk. Maeve, are you ok? You are awkwardly silent."
"Zane I want to get drunk."
"What, at this time?"
"Yes. Please Zane. I want to get a drink."
"But we won't find any shops at this hour."
"But..."
"Oh, Maeve be careful." She slipped and was about to fall. But my reflexes must be so good. I held her with my hands. But now came the harder part. We were so close to each other, with she in my hands, face to face. It was exactly like one of my daydreams. And I had this sudden urge to feel her lips. My heartbeat was raising. I slowly cupped her face in my hand. I could feel her cold skin. She was so close that I could sense her warm breath. She wasn't moving and was looking at me. Maybe she wants the same. I slowly leaned toward her.
"Aman..."
Wait what? What did she just call me. I suddenly moved back. "Maeve...it's Zane"
"And what did I say?"
"You...you were calling me Aman."
"Did I? Leave that. By the way, how did you catch me? I mean obviously you can't see me. So how did you do that?
"I...I kind of sensed it."
"What? that doesn't make any sense Zane."
"That isn't important right now. Let's talk about you. You look strange. Hey what happened? You are not fine."
"I...I did the procedures for my divorce today. And that wasn't easy."
She hugged me tight me and started to cry. I hugged her back.. I didn't know how to console her. I silently listened to her weeping. And I had to cheer her up. "Hey, do you still want that drink?"
"What? I thought you said there won't be any shops at this hour."
"If you want to, we can look for a shop." We both walked until we found a store.
"Zane this store is closed. What will we do now?"
"Break in!"
"What?"
"You wait here. I'll be right back."
"But what are you going to do?"
"Shh...you can't make any noise."
It only took me minutes to open the front door. I came back with 2 cans of beer. "Do you want more?"
"Did we just steal this?"
"Oh, no way. I have kept the money there. So it's no stealing."
"But we were not supposed to...I mean...How did you open the door."
"Consider it some inborn talent. When you are alone there on the streets you learn many such things."
"What were you, a thief? "
"God, no"
"Then?"
"Relax, it's nothing like what you think. So just enjoy your beer. Ok"
"Fine. But I'm a very bad drinker. Will you manage me if I get drunk?"
"You are going to lose control after a single beer?"
"Maybe, I can"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of you." And she was soon drinking and running on the road.
"Zane, come join me. This is fun you know." And there she fall on the road.
"You ok?"
"You come sit here...sit down." And she pulled me to the ground. "I want to talk to you."
"Yes talk"
"You know what? Aman never let me drink. He says I can't control myself. Such a liar"
"He isn't lying in this case, but I can buy you a drink occasionally."
"buy or steal?" And she started to laugh. "Aww...you are so cute. I just want to hug you" She soon jumped on me. And both fell on the road. "Cuty Zane"
