True Love : A Raia Story

Chapter 5

Maia

(you'll get Ross next chapter *wink* *wink*)

Everything is black. All I hear is muffled voices. Nothing really sounds clear like it should. It's almost like I have water in my ears, only I can't get it out.

Then I feel a warm hand on my own. The connection I feel behind the hand lets me know that it's Ross. Only his touch can make me feel this way.

All my senses are starting to come back. I can hear things better now, I can smell, and I'm pretty sure that I'm moving my arms.

I open my eyes to see nothing but whiteness. Bright sunshine shines directly in my eyes. It's hurts so bad that I close them again and roll over. But I collide with a hard body. I open my eyes again and see Ross staring back at me. Our faces are so close together that our noses touch.

He carefully leans in and plants a soft kiss on my lips.

He pulls away and smiles, "Good morning my sunshine."

"Where am I?"

"At home. Why?"

"Where is Lainey?"

"You remember..." He sits up, "The doctor said you wouldn't remember first thing when you woke up."

"Wait, what? I was with a doctor? When? Why?"

"Yes you were with a doctor, two days ago! Maia, you passed out." His concern carves lines across his forehead.

I remember everything clearly. Everything. Lainey, the ambulance, the knifes, the pots and pans.

"Wait! Why am I not at the hospital? How's Lainey?!"

"Ok, maybe you didn't hear me. That was two days ago!"

The shock hits me like a baseball in the face. Two days ago!?! I've been asleep for two whole days. That's crazy!

"Two. Days. Ago."

"Yes, two whole days. I can imagine how much more you're caught up on sleep."

I laugh. "But Ross, didn't you stay with Lainey?"

"Um no.. She has parents you know."

Face palm. "I guess I should've figured that out, right?"

"I think you could've." he smiles softly.

I get up and walk over to the closet. I pick out a nice outfit that will do well for the beach weather. After getting dressed, I walk out and see that Ross hasn't moved one bit.

"Get up!" I say playfully.

"But why?" He whines. Oh god, Ross, please don't whine like that. It's so cute, I just want to pinch his cheeks and squeeze the life out of him.

"Because I want to go to the hospital to check on Lainey."

He just stares at me blankly for a couple minutes. I could tell he was going to say no, so I did what I knew would make him say yes. I put on the best pout I could!

"Oh my god Maia." He says

I don't reply, I just keep pouting. If I pout any harder, I will start to cry. Yes, yes, I can make myself pout so hard that I cry.

"Maia, I swear if you pout any harder I will cry myself." You see that? He knows what will happen if I pout any harder.

"Ugghh!" He groans/yells in frustration.

I slowly walk closer to the bed.

Before I have time to react, he jumps up and literally body slams me on the bed. It doesn't hurt the way he did it, Because he did it in a very delicate way.

I lose my pout I start to laugh. My back is on the bed and His body is fully covering mine. I can't help but laugh harder. He just stares at me.

"I swear, you're to cute to be human!" He says before he pushes his lips against mine.

And I kiss him back. Obviously.

After about two minutes of kissing, we pull apart. I get him out of bed and he gets dressed.

I'm in the bathroom brushing my teeth when he comes up from behind and wraps his arms around me.

"I love you." He whispers in my ear.

"I love you more." I say with a mouth full of tooth paste.

"No, I love you more!"

I spit out my tooth paste and rinse out my mouth with cold water. After putting away my toothbrush, I turn to him and say,

"No! I love you more!"

He laughs and ends it all with a kiss.
