PLAYING WITH FIRE

Chapter 94: IVF Talk

Andy couldn't help but tease her. "You, being all lazy? Now that's a sight I never thought I'd see. Captain Bishop, the workaholic, enjoying a day off. Carina must be thrilled."

Maya rolled her eyes, knowing well that she did have a tendency to work too hard. "Yeah, well, even I need a break sometimes, you know. Carina's convinced I'm part machine because of how much work I do. So, she kinda forced me to take the day off."

Andy nodded understandingly. "That sounds like Carina, alright. She knows you better than anyone. Gotta admit though, you do look kinda adorable all bundled up like that."

Maya blushed a little. "Hey, don't go getting any ideas. I may be adorable right now, but I'm still not above using my Captain authority to kick your butt."

Andy laughed, enjoying the banter. "Okay, okay, I get it. You're adorable but still scary and badass. Message received, Cap."

She looked at the chocolate in her hand and an idea popped into her head. "Hey, speaking of Carina, have you noticed how whipped you are for her lately?"

Maya raised an eyebrow, a little defensive. "Whipped? Me? I'm not whipped. I'm just..." Her voice trailed off as she realized the truth in Andy's words.

She sighed, "Okay, maybe I'm a little whipped. But can you blame me? Carina's amazing. And she's my freakin' fiancée, so I kinda have to be whipped for her."

Andy chuckled at Maya's response. "Oh, I don't blame you at all. If I had someone as incredible as Carina in my life, I'd probably be just as whipped. Besides, it's nice to see you happy and in love."

She took a step closer, a mischievous gleam in her eye. "But it's still fun to bug you about it."

Maya rolled her eyes again, but couldn't suppress a small smile. "Yeah, yeah, I get it. I'm an open target. But trust me, if I didn't love Carina so much, I'd be giving you a hard time too."

She leaned back into the couch, pulling the blanket tighter around her. "How about you? How's the love life, Herrera?"

Andy looked at Maya and said "Perfect your sister is great at sex."

Maya nearly choked on her own spit. She looked at Andy, a mix of shock and disbelief on her face. "Excuse me? Did you just say what I think you just said?"

Andy laughed at Maya's reaction, clearly enjoying the flabbergasted look on her friend's face. "What? You said ask about my love life, so I'm telling you that my love life is going pretty damn well."

Maya regained her composure, but her eyes were wide. "Yeah, but I didn't need the details, Herrera. That's my sister we're talking about!"

Andy shrugged, still amused. "Hey, you asked. And I'm just keeping it real. Your sister is amazing. Though I'm sure you didn't need me to tell you that."

Maya shook her head, still processing the information. "I know she's amazing. But some things I definitely didn't need to know."

She paused for a moment, pretending to contemplate, before adding, "But... since I'm whipped and all, I should probably ask... how amazing are we talking here?"

Andy smiled mischievously. "Oh, you really want the details, don't you?"

Maya blushed, realizing her curiosity was getting the better of her. "Yeah, okay, I do. But just... spare me the explicit stuff, please."

Andy chuckled, knowing she had caught Maya off guard. "Alright, I'll keep it PG, don't worry. But let's just say Megan's really making me happy, and we've got a pretty good thing going."
