"Hey what do you what for Christmas Boing?" Josh looked up from the screen of his phone to see Maya peering at him from across the table.
"Me?" He asked.
Maya glared at him and shook her head.
"No! The other Boing in my life." She retorted sarcastically, earning her an embarrassed laugh from Josh.
"I don't need anything." Josh told her, turning his phone off and sliding it to the side of the table.
"Do you want anything?" Maya repeated, her tone hopeful in some sort of way.
Josh thought for a moment, but nothing came to mind. "Just to hang out with you." He assured her. Maya smiled faintly at the older boy's response.
"You're so cheesy." She muttered, leaning back in her chair with her arms folded across her chest.
"It's part of my charm." Josh joked, and Maya rolled her eyes. He laughed and stared at her across the table.
"How about mistletoe?" Maya asked, a gleam in her eyes. Josh felt nervous and knew the wheels were spinning in her head.
"What about it?"
Maya's face lit up and she grinned.
"I'll get you that for Christmas!" She shouted happily.
"Why would I need-" Josh stopped mid sentence when everything clicked in his head.
"You're not eighteen until after Christmas though." Josh reminded her.
"Then maybe you know what I want for Christmas. . . " Maya teased, her voice only a soft whisper.
Josh shook his head, it couldn't help smiling. He would've loved mistletoe, but it wasn't right and he didn't want to start their relationship that way.
"On your birthday." Josh quickly said, and Maya frowned. Josh tried to distract her by naming random things he might want.
Yet sitting there with her he realized there wasn't anything he wanted, cause he was satisfied.
