"We were just kids when we fell in love (the inBESTigators)" a mauzra story

CH3: last night

Ezra's pov:

We were all alone in the inBESTigators office I was a bit tired though, I looked over at Maudie she looked exhausted and beautiful...

You heard nothing...👉👈🥺

Anyways I was just scribbling over my homework when Maudie said something.

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom." She said getting up.

"Ok." I nodded in response.

She got up and went to go and use the bathroom she left her phone and everything I looked over her opened notebook and I couldn't help but find the small hearts and smiley faces she was doodling on her notebook.

It was so cute when suddenly I hit startled by the sound of Maudie's phone ringing it said "Dad❤️" on it so I'm guessing it was her dad ofc but then I missed the call it's rude to answer a call from someone else's phone.

So I decided to tell Maudie when she got back instead then she got back and sat down.

"Y-your dad called you." I stammered.

Why did I do that?

It was so embarrassing I couldn't say one word with being completely nervous.

"Oh, I'll just call him b-back..." Maudie stuttered.

Is she okay?

Why did she also stutter like me???

Maudie grabbed her phone and called her dad she went to the other room to take the call then after she was done she came back.

"What did h-he want-t?" I asked.

"I just hand to be home by 8:pm." She answered.

She sat down next to me as I checked the time it was now 6:57pm so we still had time to hangout for a bit in here.

Why do I feel so happy right now?

She smiled at me and I awkwardly smiled back as I turned around to continue my homework a few minutes later a felt something on my shoulder I turned to see Maudie asleep on my shoulder.

What is this feeling?

Why am I nervous?

Yet happy...?

Am I getting...

BUTTERFLIES???

I decided to stay calm and not freak out mentally though I rested my head on my other hand and ended up falling asleep as well.

I woke up a bit later after I checked the clock.

7:49pm.

Wait but Maudie said she had to be home by 8:00pm

I woke her up by shaking her gently she stirred slightly and her eyes fluttered open.

"What?" She asked, getting up.

"it's 7:50pm." I said

"What?!" She exclaimed.

She got up quickly grabbed her phone to actually check the time her eyes widen she had to be home in less then 10 minutes she got up and grabbed her bag.

"I have to go." She said.

I nodded as she suddenly stopped.

"Can you come with me? I'm scared of being alone at night." She said.

I froze.

She wants ME to come with HER???

I suddenly got butterflies again and felt stupid.

I snapped back into reality.

"Ofc sure." I said packing my bag.

Then I grabbed my bag and we both headed outside when she grabbed my hand I almost collapsed from the sudden movement I think Maudie noticed cause then she asked.

"Ezra, are you ok?" She asked.

"Y-yeah totally definitely fine ok don't even worry about it!" I stammered very quickly.

I felt so dumb after.

Maudie nodded and then we reached her house and I knocked on the door.

"Hey Ezra." Maudie said.

"Yeah what's up?"

"Thanks for you know... walking me home." She thanked.

"You're welcome."

She smiled as the door opened it was Mr. Miller ofc.

Maudie's pov:

I felt so embarrassed as I smiled awkwardly then the door opened and there was my dad it was 8:02pm so he wasn't that worried I gave him a hug as my dad thanked Ezra for bringing me home safely.

I was very exhausted so without hesitation I went upstairs to my room and slumped onto my bed to sleep.

I woke up the next morning with a slight headache but I was okay then I realized I have school I quickly got uk to get ready as I remembered last night.

why am I so happy that Ezra walked me home?

Or was he just being kind and generous?

Well I decided to keep that thought out of my head as I got dressed for school...

Hey guys I know this chapter is a bit rushed and made you cringe at least once but I write it longer than usual cuz I don't know when I'll be updating but I hope it's soon.
