Love is for Suckers (Joshaya)

Chapter 2

Maya hated the subway, she hated having to be surrounded by a bunch of rude people who have no manner and just shove eachother. But unfortunately living in New York meant having to take the subway a lot.

She especially hated it when she was without Riley. She apparently had to head staright home because her family was coming to town and her mom wanted her to have everything ready for them. so she couldn't stay in art club after school with maya like she usually does. So maya was left to fend for herself.

There was no room to sit so she was left to stand up and hold on to a pole as she made her way home.

As she waited for her stop she felt someone come stand next to her

"hey baby, hows it going?" a tall dark blonde guy looks at her with a sleezy smirk.

"don't call me that" she tells him

"oh come on, I'm just trying to be nice, listen my place is at the next stop what do you say you and me get off and head over and have some fun"

"not interested" she says and starts to walk aways but they guy grabs a hold of her wrist.

"hey don't you walk away from me" the guy says very aggressively

"let me go" she demands as she tries to pull his hand away but his grip only tightens.

"let her go"

maya turns to look at who the voice belonged to and she saw a tall guy with

a leather jacket and a beanie standing in front of them.

"and who's gonna make me" the blond asks

"she says shes not interested now let her go and just walk away and no one gets hurt" the guy in the beanie says

"are you threatening me" the blond asks

"I don't make threats " beanie guy says

both guys have a stare down, the blond lets go of maya just to throw a punch at the other guy but before his fist could connect with his face beanie guy grabs his fist and twists it until blond guy is kneeling on the floor.

"ow ow ok I'm sorry man let me go" the blond practically begs

beanie guy lets go and then the subway stops

"get out of here" he tells him

the blond gets up and runs off the subway defeated

beanie guy looks to the girl he just helped

"are you okay" he asks her

maya simply nods "yes I'm ok, thank you"

beanie guy just smiles at her "no prob,"

"so do I get to know the name of the pretty blond I saved" he asks

maya rolls her eyes " I don't really talk to strangers"

he laughs "that's a pretty good rule , a lot of psychos out there"

maya tries to look any where but at the guy and waits for him to just leave but instead he stands next to her.

"I just got rid of one stalker I don't need a new one" maya tells him

he smirks "don't flatter yourself, theres no where else to sit"

maya simply looks the other way trying to ignore him

"so you visiting or do you live here?" the guy asks

"if I don't tell you my name what makes you think I'm going to tell you that kind of information, for all I know you could be some stalker who follows me home and grabs me and takes me into a dark allyway and kills me, then chops my body up and puts it in a trashbag and then just dump it in the nearest trash can, you'll take my wallet and they'll never be able to identify me" she finsihes her rant

the guy just stares at her for a moment then begins to laugh"wow you are a very paranoid person"

"well this is New York, its not that far fetched" maya point out

"true" the guy agrees

the subway comes to another stop and beanie guy starts to leave the train but before he gets off he turns to maya

"take care of yourself gorgous" he winks and walks off

maya rolls her eyes but she couldn't help the smile that crept on her face.

She had to admit beanie guy was cute. But she had to realistic, she was probably never going to see him again
