So Close But So Far

wanna order pizza?

Maya's P.O.V.

I changed into a black top that said 'DREAM' on it and grey shorts, I had spent the beginning of my day looking for houses and shopping.

There were none that I liked, none of them were my type which was incredibly frustrating.

I got into contact with a really lovely woman who was going to let me know if there were any houses she felt that I would like. The only downfall was that it was going to take some time.

Obviously, I knew that buying a house was quite a long and big process, and me being a picky person wasn't helping. I just didn't want to bother Jackson for much longer, I felt bad as it was.

But Jackson, being the amazing person he was, consoled and reassured me that I wasn't bothering him and that he didn't mind me staying at his home. Heck, he didn't mind if I stayed in his house forever.

How couldn't you love him?

The rest of my day was spent with Holly and Jackson, we were baking cookies and watched Moana because Jackson had never watched it before.

He was jealous because we knew the lyrics to all the songs and he didn't.

...

It was now eleven at night.

I hated to admit it, but I was wondering where Hudson was.

The fact that he was on my mind annoyed me, a lot.

I didn't want to ask Jackson or Holly where he was, that would be weird.

Whenever I would hear a car pull up, my heart would beat a little faster, hoping it was him.

But it wasn't.

Ayanna hadn't rang me, I was hoping she would apologise and tell me that she was tired yesterday and that's why she didn't want to speak to me.

She didn't so I took the hint.

I wanted to fix things with her, I was going to ask her to come house searching with me.

Surely, she wasn't going to stay in Kayla's house for ever.

And she never even had enough money to buy her own.

I heard the front door opening, butterflies erupting in my stomach.

I was no longer tired.

It's gotta be him, I thought to myself.

I was itching to go downstairs and see for myself.

But I couldn't.

Then he'd think I was waiting for him and came to see him.

And we could not have that.

Maybe I could pretend that I never knew he was even there?

I could use me being hungry as an excuse.

Fuck, yeah! You're a genius, Maya.

Hudson's P.O.V.

I walked into Jackson's house, stomach growling, the smell of cookies not helping.

They better have saved me some.

I hadn't been home all day.

It was Adrian's birthday so he forced me to hang with him, all fucking day.

My head was banging, I regretted not eating that pizza Chloe offered me.

Honestly, the main reason of my migraine was fucking Chloe.
