One Shot #27 (Cont.) 

Maui's POV

 The next morning... 

   I'm just eating breakfast and trying my best to ignore all the nurses that keep pestering me. I'm sick of them. When they aren't in my room, they're standing right outside and gossiping about me. They think I can't see or hear them. Like come, I'm paralyzed/handicapped, not blind or deaf. A group of them are doing it right now. Frustration boils within me as they stare at me. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU BITCHES STARING IT? FIND SOME OTHER FREAK SHOW TO GAWK AND TALK ABOUT!" I snort as they immediately flee from my sight. Soon after, Moana comes walking in. At the sight of her, I begin to relax a bit. 

   "Hey Maui." I give her a small smile. "Hey Moana. What are you doing here? I thought you'd be in school." "I took today off so I get settled into your place as well as check on you. I'm completely off the clock right now. Adam doesn't need to pay me for the daytime hours." "Nonsense. You deserve to get paid Moana." She looks down at the ground. "It's really not necessary Maui. I came here because I wanted to. Believe it or not, I enjoy your company." I find myself excited over that. "I enjoy your company too." Both of us stare at one another awkwardly for a few minutes before I break the silence. "So Moana, how do you like my place?" She lights up. "It's amazing. I'm so in love with it. You have so many cool things and it's so big." I chuckle. "I'm glad you found it to your liking. Feel free to use anything in and around the house. You may be my maid, but you're also now a friend." 

    Moana looks at me in surprise. "A friend? I've never had one of those before." My smile quickly turns into a frown. How could anyone not want to be friends with this girl? She's smart, witty, hardworking, strong, kind, and super pretty. I motion with my eyes for her to come closer. She does. I gently reach a hand out as far as I can and grab a hold of one of hers. "Well you have one now." "T---tthhhannnk you Maui." I wink. "You're welcome. Now tell me more about you. I want to get to know you better." 

     Moana laughs. "There isn't much to tell. I already told you my sob story and the rest of things about me and what I like are rather boring." "Nope, that's just an excuse. I want to know everything about you. Even the little things like your favorite color, hobbies, and more." She sighs, but begins to telling me about herself. I find out a lot over the next few hours such has her favorite color is blue because she loves the ocean, her favorite hobbies are singing and writing (both songs and stories), she enjoys traveling but has never left California, and is a major book worm. In return, I told her a few things about myself. I haven't conversed with anyone like this in so long. I've forgotten how good it feels to have a real conversation. I need to do it more often.
