Chapter 48

Moana's POV

  Three days later...

   Maui and I are currently eating lunch with Gramma Tala. She made a giant pineapple pizza for the three of us to split. Maui's already eaten three slices while Gramma and I have only eaten one pizza each. We look at each other and then each grab one more slice before Maui attacks the last two slices. He catches us in the act and fake pouts. "Aw come on guys. I'm a hungry guy. Don't deprive me of pizza." I giggle. "Maui, you need to let us eat too. You've already attacked almost half of the pizza. There's still two slices left for you in addition to the three you've already eaten. He tries to look serious but then begins to smile. "I know. I'm just messing around with you love." 

   I glance over to a cabinet that Gramma Tala is standing by. She seems to be hiding something in it that she doesn't want anyone to see. I raise an eyebrow at her. I make my way over to where she's standing. "Gramma, what's in that cabinet?" She's quick to block my path to get to it. "Nothing worth seeing Moana. Now go back and finish your pizza before it gets cold." I sigh and do as told. I look over to Maui who looks like he's going to have a panic attack. "Maui is everything okay?" I get no response so I snap my fingers in front of his face to get his attention. He looks at me and blushes. "I'm sorry babe. I zoned out. What'd do you say?" "It's fine Maui. I just wanted to know if you're okay. You looked like you were about to have a panic attack just a moment ago." He takes one of my hands, raises it up to his mouth, and kisses it, causing me to blush myself. "I'm fine love, I promise." 

     We finish eating our pizza before Maui asks me if I mind him excusing himself for a minute to talk to Tala. I tell him I don't mind at all. He pecks me on the lips before gently leading Tala outside. He closes the door behind them. Me being the nosy person that I am, I'm annoyed by this because I feel like this may have to do with me. I have every right to know about this if it pertains to me. 

Maui's POV

    Tala and I are standing outside right now. I would have kept the door open, but I had a feeling Moana would try to easedrop in the conversation. As much as I love her, she can't know about this proposal ahead of time. I'll do anything it takes to keep it a secret for four more days. I want this to be special. I want it to be a day that we'll never forget. "Tala, I need you to promise me that when Moana leaves the house, you'll rehide everything. I absolutely can't have her stumbling upon those things, especially the ring." She nods. "I promise I'll rehide everything Maui. In fact, do you think you could take her out or home for awhile?" I nod. "I can do that." 

   We head back inside and I tap Moana on the shoulder, telling her that we need to go for a bit. Her stubbornness gets the best of her and she refuses to budge. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I gently swing her over my shoulder and carry her down to the shore. When we get there, I place her down on the sand. She crosses her arms and looks up at me. "Would you care to explain what's going on Maui? I feel like you're hiding something from me." I scratch the back of my neck, another habit of mine when I'm nervous. "Well to be honest with you, there is something I'm keeping secret from you, but I swear it's nothing bad. It's a project of sorts that Tala is helping me with. Though, don't ask me what it is because I'm not going to tell you." She playfully pouts at me and I laugh. "Aw please Maui. I really want to know." I kiss her on the forehead and nose. "Sorry love, no can do. But I can promise you that you'll know in four days time. Can you last four days?" She sighs. "I'll try my best." "Good." 

    We sit in silence for a minute before I get an idea. I lift Moana up once again, this time bridal style and carry her into the water. "Maui, I'm not dressed properly for a swim." I smirk at her. "You don't need a swimsuit babe. Just take off your clothes. I'm pretty sure you have a bra and underwear on right?" She nods and I grin. "Alright then. Strip off your clothes my lady." She runs back to the shore and throw her clothes on the towel before joining me back in the water. She takes one step at a time, trying to get used to the temperature of the water. Once she's comfortable, she smirks and starts splashing me. I dodge most of her splashes with delicate grace until she produces one so big, it knocks me over. She laughs at me clumsiness before extending a hand to help me up. 

     "Moana, you helped me realize something tonight." She smirks at me adorably. "And what would that be?" I smile. "You helped me realize that I might be a bigger clutz than you are." She swats me. "I'm not a clutz Maui." Right after she says, she trips over her own two feet. I catch before her face reaches the ground. I tip her over my knee and gaze down at her. "Is this a habit of yours, falling over stuff?" She looks up at with me a smile. "Only when you're around to catch me." I smile back,  lift her up, and kiss her with the uttermost love and affection.
