The Story of Us

My Girl

Omg a blurb of Maya agreeing to be T'challa's girlfriend? My heart is thumping thinking about how cute he would be about it. Or did you already do this?

****

-I did already do something like this as a blurb but it was a long ass time ago. But this gives me a chance to tweak some things and make it a full oneshot.
I love writing T'Challa x Maya's love story and adding things I didn't get a chance to before.
No warnings. Just fluff.

"And the Oscar for best Actress in a movie goes to..."
"Maya Porter in Uphill Battle."
Maya's eyes shot open and she looked around the room in a daze. The dream was all too real, "Did I really win an Oscar last night?" She asked herself. 

Maya observed her surroundings more, she was definitely still in the far too expensive hotel suite her parents paid for, for the night of the awards. 

She swung her legs over the side of the bed and stretched and walked over to the balcony and saw the famous Hollywood sign off in the distance. 

Something twinkled out the corner of her eyed it was the Oscar. Her Oscar. She squealed and held it up and kissed it. Maya Porter Best Actress, she traced the engraved gold plate and sighed happily. 
It most certainly wasn't a dream, she won and beat out women who were all so talented. She were the first black woman to win the Oscar for best lead actress in over 20 years. She had made history and it still felt like a dream. 

The constant vibrating of her phone broke her out of her haze. It was literally booming with congratulation texts and screenshots of hilarious tweets, tweets from the likings of The Obamas, screen shots of Bey's instagram page with the recording of Maya's speech with the caption: Record breaker, HERstory maker. Congrats sis❤

That was a big deal to a lot of people because no matter how close she was with someone she hardly used captions. 

Tae sent a video of him literally screaming and singing, "We Shall Overcome" like the fool he was.
She had received similar texts last night, literally seconds after her win. But one text in particular meant more to Maya than all of the other ones. 

Congratulations, entle! I would like to celebrate your historical triumph with brunch, if you would have me.

Maya couldn't type 'yes' fast enough. She missed her friend and wanted to soak up every minute with him.
His heart jumped at the simple response. 

"She said yes Shuri!" He was video calling her from the Royal Talon, she was half paying attention. 

"Great."
"Bast, I am so nervous."
"For?" He heard the voice of Erik and his wide face came to view on the screen. 

"He is going to finally ask Maya to be his girlfriend."
"About fucking time!"
T'Challa groaned, "I didn't need you to tell him that Shuri."

"Why not? You should be begging for my help. I can give you tips."
"I will pass." T'Challa stood up and looked over Okoye's shoulder to observe to coordinates. 

Okoye was sick of him breathing down her neck to see when they would be there, "We are only an hour away my King."
"Eh, can't you make this thing go a little faster?"
Resisting the urge to roll her eyes she turned around and smiled, "No, you know I can't kumkani. Just be patient, it'll make the moment more special."

Ayo snickered and continued to look out the window. T'Challa was antsy and honestly nervous as hell. He had never really felt this strongly about a woman before and if he didn't hurry up and ask Maya out, he was afraid she would be gone and with another man.
Erik ignored T'Challa's pass on tips, "You need to walk in there and be like 'Aye girl, you mine now'."
"What?" T'Challla sat back down in front of the screen.
