Part 20

Maya:

"You are so beautiful and now you smell of sweet berries." He said smiling and I laughed.

Our faces were inches away from each other's and I could feel his warmth radiating onto me. Sending shivers down my spine. But the good kind.

"Stop it. You're making it really hard for me not to kiss you." I said softly and his eyes went wide, but then he smiled at me. "What's stopping you?" He whispered with a small smirk.

"That little bit of yogurt on your lip." I said laughing softly. He got embarrassed and wanted to wipe it away but before he could I crashed my lips onto his.

I felt he was shocked, but only for a second, and he kissed me back. He cupped my cheek with his free hand and I wrapped my arm around his neck deepening the kiss.

But then I pulled away, "Woah." He said with a big smile. "I-I'm sorry." I said and ran off. "Maya! Maya wait! What happened?" He yelled running after me.

I stopped in my tracks and felt his hand on my arm.

Gently. Nothing like Marcus. His touch was soft, delicate. Not harmful or hurtful.

And so were his intentions.

He's to innocent to hurt. And he isn't the kind of harming someone or something. He cares and he loves.

"I-I'm afraid. I don't want to get hurt." I said turning to him, tears pooling in my eyes. "Aaliyah told me what happened to you. And please don't be mad at her for telling but I want you to know, I will never do that to you. Never. You're to kind, special and incredibly unique to go through something like that. I'm sorry that had to happen to you." I said and then took a deep breath.

"But I also don't want to be in a relationship. The word alone connects with so much heartbreak and pain that I just can't cope. I do-" I wanted to finish but he kissed me to shut me up.

His lips were so soft and plump. Our lips moved in sync and then he pulled away.

"I won't hurt you Maya. God I don't even know why someone would ever want to hurt you. He was a dumbass to do that to you. But I wouldn't do it to you. I promise you." He said and I smiled.

"You have a show." I said and then realization sinked in. "Oh shit! YOU HAVE A SHOW!" I yelled and grabbed his arm and we ran back to the hotel.

Everyone was outside standing at the car. "There you are!" Aaliyah yelled and we ran up to them.

We apologized and jumped in the car.

When we arrived at the arena I quickly changed into my team uniform, consisting of jeans and a black shirt with 'Team Mendes' printed in kn the back.

I'm so Team Mendes.

I know this is all moving a bit to fast. But he'll understand when I tell him than we can take it slow. Not in any way will my feelings towards him change.

But I'm also afraid that, because I haven't loved someone who cared and respected me in a relationship for so long, that my intentions on this is wrong.

Maybe I'm just to out there in search for love that I'm desperate to have it back in my life.

I'm not gonna hurt him. Even if I have to hurt myself in the process, his heart meeds to be protected.
