Maya and I were now sitting at my bay window, giggling with one another and just simply enjoying each other's company.

"Maya," I began.

"What did you mean when you were describing the girl you're in love with to me?"

Maya chuckled softly, looking down at her hands that lie in her lap, folded together. "Well, Riley," Maya began, still focusing on her hands, as if she was talking to them instead of me.

But, she looked up, her icy blue eyes looking directly into my warm brown ones as her words rolled off her tongue and fell out her lips.

"What I mean was, you. I know we haven't known each other for a year or months or whatever, but I what I do know is that we have a connection; a really special one that I've never had with anyone else before. I feel as if you understand me and that I can just simply tell you my deepest, darkest secrets without a care in the world. I feel so comfortable around you already, it's like your my- my home. Riley, I know that what I'm saying right now may be a lot, but I just need to explain to you my feelings about you, because I want you to know that whenever you look me in the eyes- ever since you first looked me in the eyes, my heart flutters and gives me this feeling as if a bunch of colorful butterflies are erupting in my stomach; like my heart is suddenly so full of love and admiration that it might just explode."

She breathed, looking down briefly before looking back up at me.

"Riley, I'm in love with you."
