Confrontation

Uncle Rex's note: Gabe, do better.
***********************************

Gabe's POV

I nearly drop the phone and trip over my own shoes when I hear the door burst open, revealing a girl in a towel. Her dark hair is scattered in different directions and she's struggling to keep the towel around her body.

Huh?

I hurry over to the redhead, clutching the phone tightly, and Maya gasps.

"Gabe?!" She shrieks.

The redhead doesn't even acknowledge me when I hesitantly tap her shoulder. Her eyes are trained right on Maya.

"Oh my god...Lexie!" The girl in a towel gasps, and steps slowly back into the house.

"You fucking slut!" The redhead Lexie girl shoves past Maya, who's eyes are still trained on me.

"When did you get here, Gabe??" She confusingly asks.

"I—" I'm cut off by arguing.

"It's the SECOND time! What the fuck is your problem, Asher??" Lexie shrieks.

"Gabe...hello??" Maya snaps her fingers in my face.

My mind spins. Maya was on the doorstep of, I would assume, Asher's house?

Wait.

Asher. Asher. I keep hearing this name. Why does it sound so damn familiar?? Asher. Maya. Masher. Holy shit.

"Oh my god!!" I yell causing Maya to jump. "It's Masher!! My one true ship!"

Lexie whips around to face us. Her eyes are bulging.

"What the fuck did you just say, bitchface?"

Oops.

Her devilish green eyes train on Maya. I move quickly, pulling Maya behind me. She pulls away, glaring at me.

"We didn't fuck, Lexie!" Asher says urgently, attempting to defuse the situation.

"Ooooohhhh you expect me to believe your little lies!" Lexie shrieks, almost maniacally as she throws her arms up. "So this whore—-"

"Her name is Maya." I snap.

"This whore," Lexie continues, ignoring me. "Comes sauntering out of your house with the "whoop de doo I just got banged" face and you appear in a towel and you EXPECT me to believe that you DIDN'T fuck her???"

I look over at Maya and she looks like she's about to cry. I have half a mind to punch Lexie in the face but my brain just said run. So that's what I did. I cautiously leave the phone on the ground, because what else am I supposed to do, and run.

Pulling Maya's arm, I drag her to my car and push her inside. I ignore her protests, and hit the gas. The car screeches and accelerates causing us to fly back into our seats. The wheel jerks around in my hand as I attempt to regain control of the car. My feet fumble for the brake pedal and Maya continues to scream loudly in my ear.

"GABE! Slow down!" She grabs the handles of the seat and gasps as I jerk the wheel harshly to the right. Once on a different road, I slow down.

She breathes heavily. "What the fuck was that??"

"Surprise! I'm here!" I give her a huge cheesy smile.

She narrows her eyes. "Not that I'm not glad to see you but...what the fuck?!"

"I was gonna surprise you but then I crashed into that redhead named Lexie at the restaurant, literally, and then she forgot her phone so then I—-wait. I don't need to explain. What the fuck was that about back there??"
