His Whole Life Stand

Captivating stories#19

Maya and Lucas were cuddling in the couch like Shawn said, he was cooking and eavesdropping a little bit. So what ? He has to.
"When I was a kid I used to do that" Lucas chuckled out
"You cowboys.. I will never understand you" Maya said sounding desperate, Lucas chuckled and pull her even closer to him.
"I grew up riding horses and feeding cows and sheep. What were you doing when you grew up ?" Lucas asked her.
Maya thought a little "well I was drawing, singing. Dancing under the rain, playing instruments, going to school, I had a happy Californian life" she said as she stared at the tv.
"Sounds interesting.. but what I was doing was even more interesting"
"Sounds boring" Maya suddenly said, then laughed. "Oh shut up!" Lucas said as he blocked her mouth with his arms.
"Mmmmhhmmhhh" she tried to speak but couldn't, so instead she bit his arm.
"AAAAAAOUCHH!!!" Lucas suddenly yells as Maya was evilly laughing.

Dinner was ready and served, Maya sat next to Shawn and Lucas was across Maya.
"So Lucas, I don't know much about you but I'd love to" Shawn said smiling.
"Oh well I'm maybe I'm gonna annoy Maya with my cowboys stories so..." Maya smirked and looked away. "So what ?" She finally spoke, raising an eyebrow. "So here's the story of my life" he said tipping his imaginary hat while Shawn was laughing and Maya let out her tongue. "Well I was born in Austin, Texas, I wasn't very close to my father, I've always been to my grandpa's, it was the best place in the world for me.
So when he died, I became that lonely crying guy and that's where I respect you Maya," she raised an eyebrow "because you got up immediately and helped yours. Anyways, my mom was supporting me but my dad wasn't paying attention to me, for him he has only one son, and it's Tristan Friar, my big brother who's in Chicago right now..." he said then took a bit of his plate. "So; basically, my dad was hating on me and treating me like I was no one, at least in his eyes I was no one.. so I  wanted to get his attention, by flirting a lot with girls and smoking but nothing, I was still a good student, I could ruin my social life just to be someone to my father but school is something really important if I wanna prove myself what I'm capable to be"
Shawn nodded and then smiled. "And what were you doing with your grandpa ?" He changed the subject, Maya was looking at him, not daring to look away from him, she was thinking about how a hare past he had with his father and that she understood why he was playing a fuckboy. "Oh well with my grandpa I used to take care of all the animals he had in his farm, I sheep rode once" he said "Captivating" Maya mocked, accenting the 'cap'  which made Lucas laugh. "Excuse my daughter" Shawn said smiling. "No it's okay, she's funny" Lucas said giving an eye contact with Maya. They smiled at each other and pursued their conversation.
"When Shawn met my mother he was a photograph" Maya said looking at Shawn. "Really ? I always loved photography but I can't take pictures" Lucas said smiling. "Well yeah I used to take pictures of towns and also at weddings sometimes, but I was a journalist so it was more of animals and landscapes" Shawn completed. "But I remember when I met Katy for the first time. She was auditioning and I was photographing the moment for an article in San Francisco and when I was done taking pictures I saw a girl with blonde hair, she was drawing. She was about 13 when I met her, and I went over to her and we started talking, I showed her some of my pictures that were on a book and I proposed her to draw one of them and she agreed, some time after Katy came back and we introduced each other and I fell in love that day" Shawn sais daydreaming. "That's a really cute love story" Lucas said, Maya looked at Shawn and hugged him quickly.
