after sun

"...Recently reunited couple... Maia and Miguel!"

The duo popped up on the screen laughing. "How's it going?" Miguel greeted. "Welcome to Aftersun." Maura introduced. "Hi, Maura." Maia sang happily. "Pleased, to be here." Miguel also said.

"How's life in the Villa?" Maura asked. "Yeah, it's-it's a lot." Miguel said truthfully. "But we loving it. We loving it." Maia nodded along to his words. "You two are officially back in a couple. We love to see it, especially after Casa Amor."

"Yessir." Miguel confirmed to Maura making Maia smile. "Why do you think you gravitated back to each other after the blow up that was Casa?" Maia winced dramatically as Miguel laughed. "I guess I should let you talk on that one." He gave it away.

"Oh thanks." She said sarcastically and everyone laughed. "I don't think for me, at least, it was gravitating back towards each other, or him, in this sense. I was always gravitated to him, and that never changed-surprisingly- after Casa. I more so just told myself I wasn't allowed to act on it because of what happened. It was essentially saying, 'Hey girl this is what got you where you are now. Turn that shit off.' So that was my side of it. I don't know about Miguel though." She finished and looked at him.

He looked down at her with a small smile before sharing. "Obviously, when I first, like, started speaking to Maia I slipped up with Nicole..." he danced around making Maia shake her head. "And she handled it so well. She reinforced it in me that she wasn't messing around and from then on we really just stuck to each others sides and formed a really strong connection." He kissed her shoulder after he said it, it was comforting to both of them.

"I left Casa with the intent of testing how strong our connection was, and I definitely did go about it very wrong, I can admit that. But I ain't gone lie, without being disrespectful, I knew immediately who I wanted to get back with. When she was standing up there in that dress, with her hair did." Maia chuckled shyly at that. "Even if she was having a proper go at me-"

"You deserved it." Maia cut across.

"-which I deserved." He said, looking down at her. "But I knew the moment I stepped in."

Everyone awed at Miguels words and Maia chuckled as he blushed shyly. "Maia are you happy he's back in your arms."

"No." She shook her head. "Someone save me." She whispered and she felt Miguels head snap to her. "No, no, I'm very happy to have him back. "

She said as everyone laughed comically at her switch. "It's been a pleasure thank you guys." Miguel tried to leave which made her laugh. "Maia, you've forgiven him though, haven't you?"

Maia looked at him as if pondering. "Yeah why not, he's cute." She shrugged and everyone laughed again. "Of course I have. I forgave him when he started chasing me around the villa to apoligise." She chuckled, making him shake his own head.

"What's the best part about being in a couple together?" Maura asked. "Out of everyone in here, I feel like she definitely understands me the most. With her, I can just be myself 100%. I'm not holding back at all. We have great conversations, and at times, as well, we can literally just lay there next to each other and not say anything and just enjoy each other's company. So it just feels very natural and very comforting." He said before looking at her quickly.

"Yeah. I'm enjoying where we at right now. She's closed off and she's mine." He said wrapping her in a bear hug. "Aw!" Maia teased kissing his head. "What about you, Maia?"

"I genuinely feel we're always on the same page, and we don't have to try to do that. He just makes me feel at home when I'm with him." She said resting her head on his shoulder. "It's easy to get home sick in here, especially when you aren't speaking your native language 90% of the time. It makes you feel like you're turning into someone else and Miguel does really well in letting me teach him some French, and just letting me talk to him in French even if he doesn't understand it." Everyone awed. "Overall I'm very happy." She summed up.
