Maya's POV

I was exhausted. It was the longest day ever.
I got home and opened the door to my room and decided that i wanted to take a nap. I got undressed and grabbed a T-shirt and some shorts and slipped them on. I pulled the covers and curled up in between them. It was cold since we were in the middle of October. Then slowly i drifted into a deep sleep

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I woke up to the pounding in the front door. God who was it!.
I tossed the covers aside and headed downstairs sleepy. I notice that i was still in my mini shorts and one of my moms T-shirts. I for once did not cared. I opened the door only to see the last person i was expecting. Lucas.
He was wet. I guess it was raining pretty hard outside. "What are you doing here cowboy ?" I asked sleepy. He was still under the rain so i motin for him to come inside. He did. "I just wanted to come by and see you. Maybe talk.?" He said. We haven't talked for a long time. I really didn't wanted to see anyone right now. But he was here and wet so i guess i should just talk to him.
"Um. Sure. Do you want an extra T-shirt? I have some of my uncle." I said yawning.
"Yea, sure. Are you sure you want to talk? You seem sleepy." He said with a boyish smile.
"Im okay. Let me get you a shirt." I left only to look for a shirt.

A few minutes i came back with it. I gave it to lucas and he thanked me. He left to the bathroom but left the door ajar.
I walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. Finally there was food inside, my mom finally went shopping. I grabbed some grapes and headed for the living room, but when i was passing by I saw lucas without a shirt. And can i say, He Was Hot!!
I was caught up in the moment. Then suddenly i saw him looking at me. He caught me stearing. I blushed fifty shades of pink. I ran as fast as i can to the living room with the grapes on my right hand. I heard him clicked the lights off, i pretended to act casually in the couch. "Hey, um, im very sorry about that. I was passing by and i just accidentally saw that." I said blushing. He took a spot next to me in the couch and lifted my legs so he can put them in his lap. "It's okay." He said with sarcasm in his voice.
He put his right hand on my tight and slowly started to shape patterns. This was weird, but i like it. I was still sleepy. What time is it?
"Hey what time is it?" I said. I notice that it was dark outside.
"It's almost 9:00pm." He said looking at his phone.
So i must of slept around 4:00pm. I was a really good sleeper.
"Hey maya, are you tired?" He said. He notice that i was closing my eyelids.
"Yea, i just had a rough day at school." I said yawning.
Then there was a loud thunder and lightning that lighted my whole apartment. Then the lights went off. I was scared. I do not like thunders.
"Lucas? Lucas where are you!!?" I said freaked out. "Hey maya, im right here. It's okay. It's going to be fine. " he said in a calm voice. He found my hand and linked them together. He pulled me close afterwards. He was laying in the couch and i was laying with him between his legs.
I was starting to fall asleep slowly. "It's okay. Im here. You can sleep." He whispered in my ear.
That made me shiver. He pulled me even close.
I started to drift off.
For once in my life, i was sleeping peacefully.
"Goodnight lucas. Thank you for staying here with me." I said sleepy.
"Anything for you." He said.
Then i was off.

I woke up to the smell of pancakes and bacon. Who was cooking?
I was still in the couch.
Then it hit me. Lucas.
"Lucas? Are you still here?" I said loudly.
No response.
I checked to see what time it was, 9:00am. It was pretty late. Good thing it was saturday. My mom is not home until 10:00pm. So it's not her.
"Riley? Is that you?" I asked. Still no response.
I slowly got up and made my way into the kitchen.
Lucas was making pancakes. "What are you still doing here?" I said.
He turned around and smiled at me. I was still confused.
"My parents think that im in a sleepover with Farkle. " said lucas.
But why did he stay?
"Okay. But why did you stay?" I asked.
"Because i didn't wanted to leave you all alone in here." He said making his way towards me.
"Well that is a good excuse. " i said sarcastically. He was closing the distance between us. This was really awkward. We were looking into each others eyes then he put both of his hands in my waist bringing me close to him. Our breathings were increasing. I was looking straight into his pink lips. I just wanted to kiss him.
But he liked Riley. I can't do that to my best friend. Even though she said she did not liked him i knew she still has feelings for him. I hated what i was about to do.
"Lucas. The pancakes are burning. " i said almost sounding in a whisper. He gave me a quick kiss in the cheek and left to turn the stove off. I just needed to make sure Riley and Lucas did not have feelings for each other. "Okay, pancakes and bacon are ready." Lucas said while placing plates in the table. I grabbed some cups and poured some orange juice. Afterwards We sat in silent and eat.

A few minutes later we cleaned the plates and cups and left to the living room. "Well it was nice hanging out with you. I hope we do this more often." He said in his cute cowboy accent. He was really driving me crazy. "Yea sure, it was nice. Thank you for the breakfast cowboy." I said blushing. I opened the door for him to leave. But he stopped. He gave me another kiss in the cheek and left. I close the door and once again i was alone. I needed to find out if they had feeling for each other. And i needed to figure out my feelings for him.
