My New Assistant

After Maya and Carina's walk they headed back to the house to check on Gio to make sure she wasn't driving Martha crazy.

"Mamma! Martha said she was going to feed the pigs! Can I go mamma please!" Gio plead jumping up and down.

"I don't know bella I think Martha might need a little brake." Carina said as she caressed Gio's face.

"It's alright with me if she comes darling. I don't mind it one bit. We haven't had a kid around here since Maya and Maryanne would run around here in nothing but their tiny underwear." Martha said making Carina and Gio laugh and Maya go red.

"I would pay money to see that." Carina said after she was done laughing.

"Oh I have plenty of pictures I can show you." Martha said with a smile.

"Nope. Not happing." Maya said shaking her head.

"I'll get them from you later." Carina said looking at Martha with a smile.

"Well alright then. Why don't you two go freshen up before dinner while me and sweet pea head to feed the animals?" Martha said looking at Maya and Carina.

"Are you sure?" Carina asked still holding Gio's hand.

"Absolutely. Now let's go sweet pea the animals are waiting." Martha said stretching out her hand out for Gio who instantly grabbed it.

Seconds later Gio and Martha were out the door leaving Maya and Carina behind. Maya grabbed Carina's hand and pulled her upstairs.

"This was the room I used to sleep in when I stayed here. Wow I can't believe everything is still in here" Maya said leading Carina in the room.

"I'm glad it is. I get to see what you were into after we broke up." Carina said letting go of Maya's hand and walking around the room.

Maya smiled as she looked at Carina who was looking at everything intently. She saw her pick up a book and laugh a bit.

"50 shades of grey? Really Maya?" Carina said laughing.

"It was a gift from an old friend." Maya said as she laid down on the bed and took out her phone.

A few minutes passed and Maya noticed how quiet Carina had gotten. She looked up only to see Carina with a picture frame in her hands. As soon as Maya saw the frame she knew what picture was in there.

"Who's this girl you're kissing in this picture?" Carina asked not taking her eyes off the frame.

"That's Delilah." Maya said putting her phone down as she looked at Carina who gave her a look that meant she should keep going.

Maya stretched out her hand for Carina to take. Carina put the picture down and walked over to Maya before grabbing her hand.

"Delilah was a girlfriend of mine you could say. After we broke up and I came here I wanted to get you out of my head. A couple months after coming here I met Delilah and we started dating. I thought dating her would make me get over you but it clearly didn't work." Maya said looking down at their hands that were intertwined.

"So my fear of me coming to find you and you already moved on would have been true if I did leave Antonio at the altar." Carina said not looking at Maya.

"I would have been with Delilah yeah... But honestly Carina if I saw you again I wouldn't be able to let you go. Delilah was... She was amazing at many things but she wasn't you." Maya said lifting up Carina's face.

"Did you love her?" Carina asked looking Maya in eyes.

"At some point I thought that I could love her and start a family with her but it never happened because just the thought of loving someone else that wasn't you broke me. I told her about you. That day Delilah broke up with me and told me that I should go find the one girl who made me happy." Maya said before caressing Carina's face.
