One Shot #27 (Cont.)

Maui's POV

 Half an hour later... Checking into the hotel...

   Moana's checking into the hotel. I made the reservation in my name, but wasn't feeling up to going up to the counter. As I was being wheeled around the airport, I began to feel a little light headed. By the time I got into the limo, I was holding my head in my hands. I'm trying to put on a brave face for Moana. I don't want to disappoint her. Moana comes back with a room key and bell hop. An attendants puts our luggage onto it and wheels it while Moana wheels me up. "We're on the third floor Maui. I hope that's okay." I smile. "That's fine Moana. When we get upstairs, do you mind if I crash for a little while? I'm really tired." She raises an eyebrow. "We just got here though. Are you feeling alright Maui?" I nod. 

    The elevator opens and Moana's leading us to the room, which is room 305. It's only three rooms down from the elevator thankfully. She slides the key in the door and a beautiful suite is revealed to us. Moana and I both gasp in unison. I tip the bellhop. He gives us a grateful smile and wishes us well. Moana jumps up and down. "I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT!" I chuckle. God she's adorable. I say that a hundred times a day, but it's always just as true. I wheel myself around the room taking everything in. There's a massive plasma screen TV, a full menu for room service and nearby restaurants, tour guides on what to see and do, a loveseat couch, a king bed, huge bathroom, and a balcony overlooking the ocean. I knew I picked the right room for us when making the reservation last week. 

   After taking everything in, Moana helps me into bed. Surprisingly though, Moana joins me. Though, she decided to strip off all of her clothes but her bra and underwear. I've never seen her this bare of clothing before. I eye her body up and down. Moana smirks. "Do you like what you see Maui?" I bite my lip. "I really do. Moana, you're really tempting me here. You don't understand how badly I want to have my way with you... but I can't." Moana frowns. "I know your movement is limited Maui, but I'm sure we can still do a few things." Moana climbs on top of my body. "Moana, I love you and if I were able to, I would absolutely go through with this, but I'm a broken man down there. Nothing works anymore. If I can't move my legs and walk, what makes you think I can have sex?" 

    Moana gets off of me quickly, sitting up beside me in bed, but with her back facing me. "I'm so stupid." Her body shakes and she begins to cry. My heart breaks. I did this to her. I caused her this pain. "I'm so sorry Maui." "Moana, come here." She doesn't move an inch. "Please..." Moana slowly moves closer to me and lies down beside me, though she doesn't meet my eyes. I stretch out my arms careful and hold her until her body relaxes. When it does, I cup her face gently and get her to look at me. "You didn't do anything wrong Moana. This moment was going to happen sooner or later. It happened and now we can move past it." Moana gets up suddenly. "Get some rest Maui. I'll be sitting on the balcony for a bit. I need to some space to think." I panic internally as I hear how empty and lifeless her words are. When she opens the door to the balcony and steps out, leaving me alone, I end up crying myself. 

   I hate myself. If I were the man I was before, I'd be able to make love to my beautiful girlfriend, still pursue wrestling, walk, run, and many other wonderful things. Moana's going to get sick of me at some point. She'll eventually feel regret of allowing herself to get so involved with me and stare at me in pity. I was just hoping that I could delay that for as long as possible...
