Maya Hart My Heart - Rilaya

Chapter 6

Maya looked around and had no clue what was going on. But it looked pretty interesting considering this is what she woke up to:

1. She was in her bed with Riley snuggling up to her.

2. It was the middle of the night and the room was lit dimly with candles.

3. She had no idea how any of these thing came to be.

"Maya you're up!" Riley said as she hugged Maya tightly. Maya loved the feeling of Riley hugging her but of course she had to conceal her feelings as usual.

"Yeah, yeah. What happened?" Maya asked pushing Riley off of her. But Riley refused to let go she knew how Maya really felt.

"I'm not letting go, Maya. Because I love you too much to let go." Maya's heart was palpitating. She loved every second of Riley holding onto her.

"I love you too, Riles." Maya said smiling and returning the hug. "But really what's going on?"

"Well, we are having a sleep over..." Riley was hesitant to tell Maya all of what happened. "The power went out so you lit these candles."

"How come I don't remember any of this?" Maya asked still completely confused.

"Do you remember seeing Farkle?"

"Yeah that's the last thing I..." Maya realized. "what did he give me in that hot chocolate? some kind of drug?"

"Yeah...that crazy Farkle." Riley decided she didn't want Maya to know about all the things that had happened between them while she was under the influence of Farkle's little experiment. She wanted Maya to be able to tell her how she felt, for real. When she was completely herself.

"So what should we do now?" Riley said trying to change the subject. Maya stepped out of the covers of her bed.

"well,we could- oh man it's freezing!" Maya said and jumped back into the bed snuggling up to Riley's warm body.

"Yeah, this storm is really intense. It hasn't shown even a little sign of stopping all night. But if I'm going to be stuck with someone because of a storm, I sure am lucky it's with you." Riley said smiling at Maya.

"Aww." Maya said turning her face away so Riley wouldn't see how hard she was blushing.

Riley climbed over Maya so that she was in front of Maya in between her legs and leaned her back against Maya's body. Maya wrapped her arms around Riley and rested her chin on the top of Riley's head. Maya thoroughly enjoyed holding Riley.

As Riley was lying against Maya, Maya realized that she didn't have her phone where she usually kept it.

"Hey Riles, did you happen to see where I put my phone?" Maya asked.

Riley just laughed.

"...Well...?" Maya asked confused.

"You put it on the nightstand." Riley said still laughing.

"Okay..." Maya still didn't understand why Riley was laughing, but she let it go just because she was so darn adorable.

"Riles?"

"Yeah, Maya?"

"I think I'm ready to tell you what was bothering me after school." Maya said shyly. Riley smirked.
