Maeve had started to try and start dating again after the slight rekindle with Renee, she knew that was a no go - for now at least. And Taylor definitely doesn't feel the same as Maeve does to her so that's also a no go - forever.

Currently, Maeve and a few of her friends - Gigi, Nova, Ember and Hazel - where out shopping, going into most stores just to look around and buy a few things (half the store) not for specially though.

Whilst they were walking around the streets of LA they had all come to the mutual agreement that they were all hungry, so they went to find a lunch spot - after what felt like an hour - they agreed on a pasta place they they'd all visited before.

As they entered the restaurant, there was a little paparazzi, they knew this would mean there'd be people camping outside of the restaurant.

Maeve lets out a sigh as she sees them, slipping her hand into Gigi's anxiously. Maeve wasn't big on crowds specifically when there's flashing lights and cameras everywhere.

Ever since she started hanging out with Taylor, the paparazzi had doubled. It wasn't because she was more famous because of her affiliation with Taylor, the paparazzi had just started to assume that wherever Maeve was, Taylor was.

Which was true, most of the time.

Except when Taylor wasn't there, it pissed her off even more. Or maybe it was just harder to cure her anxiety, which pisses her off.

That's beside the point, so back to the point.

The group entered the restaurant, they didn't have a reservation but luckily it was pretty chill and not that busy. A server greeted them before leading them to the table, they requested one at the back, just for a little more privacy.

Maeve untangles her hand from Gigi's as she slips into the booth in between Nova and Gigi with Ember and Hazel facing them.

The women take a quick look at the menus before Gigi speaks up, "so what are we thinking?"

Maeve looks up from her menu, "uh - I was thinking bottomless pasta, you guys?"

"Wait, ugh that's such a good idea, should we all get it?" Ember questions.

"Oh fuck yeah." Hazel replies as the others nod their heads enthusiastically.

Soon after, the waiter had come over so that they could order their food. A few minutes after she came back with their plates and their drinks.

The group of women went to get their food, Maeve only getting a few toppings with Ember on the other hand who had practically piled all the different toppings on top of hers.

"Mm, okay now do you guys wanna hear about some 'dating' drama - well news I guess?" Maeve asks after they had all settled back down.

Hazel raises an eyebrow, "Eve- I swear to god if this isn't about you and Taylor kissing and admitting your love to each other then I don't wanna hear it."

Oh incase you didn't know, Hazel and Gigi are the biggest Tayeve shippers - in fact they have a group chat called "they will kiss, one day" with Gracie.

"I hate to break it to you but that didn't happen.."Maeve places her hand on Hazel's, speaking sarcastically, "what I was gonna say was I'd started dating again-"

"You what- what? And you didn't tell us?" Nova groans.

Ember lets out a loud sigh before putting on a fake sad tone, "I guess she doesn't love us enough to tell us.."

"Wow.. I can't believe this.. how dare you not tell us, Maeve Abrams." Gigi replies, in a similar tone to Ember's whilst, shaking her head mournfully.

Maeve lets out a snort of laughter, "I- guys it's been so shitty, literally nothing has happened. Not even a single hook-up."

"Not even one? You're literally so hot, Eve-" Hazel starts.

"Oh, I know.. these men are so ugly - I swear no girls wanna fuck me.." She pouts in reply.

"I think we should just kill all ugly men, specifically the ones with huge egos.. like why do they even exist." Gigi sighs.

"Was Zayn not an ugly man with a huge ego..? And you had a full child with him." Nova questions jokingly.

Gigi lets out a gasp of offensive. "Possibly a little too big of an ego but he's not ugly! I would never date an ugly man - you know that, Maeve back me up, you've known me the longest."

"You better not attack me for this.." Maeve puts her hands up defensively before she continues speaking. "he's not ugly per-say, he's not the most attractive man though, but god-damn he is gorgeous."

"Given the fact no one else wants to defend me, I will take that. I guess.."

Maeve lets out a small laugh, "Oh god, story time, lock in chat. So basically - there was this guy and , you know he wasn't so ugly, unlike the rest. So we'd gone on a second date and i'll admit it, we were gonna have sex, reminds, gonna. But as we were getting undressed, he smacked his ass but he completely missed it. I got the biggest fuckin' ick ever so I said that I had a family emergency.."

"Oh.. Well that's unfortunate.. You should sleep with Taylor-" Hazel starts.

"Hazel, no. That's never gonna happen, get that cute fuckin' button nose of yours outa my business."

Hazel grins at the brunettes words before she decides to tease her playfully, "Awh you think my nose is cute?"

"Ugh, I guess.." Maeve replies playfully before letting out a small giggle.

Because it was a week night, all of Maeve's other friends had work in the morning, apart from Gigi and of course Maeve.

So, the pair had decided Maeve would spend the night at Gigi's because it had been a while since they'd just had a night just them both.

They had been such close friends a couple of years ago but during quarantine they had struggled to stay as close as before but they were admit to stay close.

The blonde and brunette friends were sprawled across Gigi's couch with two half full glasses of wine on her coffee table.

"How's your sister? it's been a whilst since I've seen her." Maeve asking sincerely whilst looking over at Gigi.

"Oh, she's great - I swear she's living her best life right now. How's Gracie, and August?" She answers.

"Gracie is - well she's thrilled to open for Taylor and so she's already gone through the five stages of grief about it I swear," Maeve chuckles. "But uh, Auggie, he's just Auggie - like an average teenage boy but my god I swear he's got a secret girlfriend or something"

"I fear that I was that type of sister - I literally didn't tell anyone my business when I was his age." Gigi replies before picking up her wine glass, she puts it up to her lips and takes a gulp of the alcohol.

"God, me too..." Maeve whispers slightly before bursting out with laughter. "You know what - Gracie was the perfect fucking teenage, she was so sweet. I think I set the bar really low for her though."
