"What are you doing this weekend?" Josh asked Maya as they made their way to her apartment Wednesday after class, it was now almost natural for Josh's arm to be draped around Maya's shoulders or slinked around her waist as they walked together.
Maya shook her head, "Not a damn."
"You should come over Sunday," Josh said without missing a beat.
Maya looked up at him, trying not to act like his comment caught her off guard.
"Hayley works 12s on Sunday. You should come over. Come hang out."
Maya pushed her bottom lip out slightly and shrugged, "Okay," she agreed. Maya had nothing better to do, and even if she had other things to do, nothing would sound better than hanging out with Josh. She missed being around him.
"That was easy," Josh laughed. Everything felt so natural when he was around Maya. Josh didn't have to think about every move he made or every word that he said. Maya demanded nothing of him, and he demanded nothing of her. They both just existed so perfectly amongst the other.
Can it be Sunday already? Maya closed her eyes.
Josh opened his front door and was greeted with a smiling petite blonde. "Maya," he smiled.
"Josh," She smiled right back.
"Come on," He nodded, opening his door wider, stepping to the side letting Maya in. "You hungry?"
Maya furrowed her brow, "Have you met me?" She asked and pointed to herself. "Always hungry."
Josh laughed and walked into the kitchen. "I'm making biscuits and gravy."
Maya looked around the kitchen, flour spread across the counter. "What an odd..."
"Just trust me." Josh told her.
Maya shrugged and grabbed a seat at the bar. She rested her chin on her hands, watching Josh intently. "Wait," She said sitting straight up. "You're making biscuits?"
Josh turned to face Maya, his brows knitted together in confusion. "What part of 'I'm making biscuits and gravy' was unclear...?"
Maya raised her eyebrow challenging Josh's sassy reply.
Josh put his hands up in the air, "I'm just curious."
"Get back to work, I'm hungry. How long is this going to take?"
Josh shot Maya a look. "Maya, good things come to those who wait."
Maya sighed dramatically in response, laying herself across the counter.
Josh shook his head laughing at her. "Do you want to learn?"
Maya once again propped herself up with her hands. "I'm actually already a really good breakfast cook." She said examining the fingernails on one of her hands.
"Oh really?"
"Yep. Just ask Lucas." Maya chirped back.
Josh instinctively clenched his jaw. He didn't like that Lucas knew something about Maya that he didn't. "Why haven't you ever made me breakfast if you're such a pro?"
Maya looked up at Josh, her eyes wide.
"I mean, you'll officially owe me after today, so..."
Maya nodded, a small smile creeping onto her lips.
"You got next Sunday." Josh said more than asked as he redirected his attention back to the food he was making.
Maya nodded to herself; that sounded perfect.
