I open my eyes to Maya sprawled on top of me, breathing ever so softly. I run my fingers through her hair as I wait for her to wake up. I take notice of every little detail that made up the girl that was snuggled up against me. Her soft skin, her freckles, her lips.
I really wanted to kiss her lips.
A few minutes later, her eyes flutter open. She lazily lifts her head and looks at me with a cute little smile before she drops her head back down.
"Morning."
"No, I wanna sleep more," she mumbles against my shoulder.
"Well, at least let me get up."
"Will you come back?"
"Sure."
"That doesn't sound very convincing," she frowns.
I gently move her off to the side so I can go freshen up. Once I make my way back to the room, I see Maya attempting to get out of bed, but falling in the process. I chuckle as she plummets to the ground.
"Don't laugh you bitch."
My eyes widen and I step back. "Jeez, sorry."
I move off to the side so she can go to the restroom. I mentally note to not mess with her in the mornings.
She walks back a few minutes later, slightly less irritated. "Sorry, I'm not a morning person."
"I can tell," I cautiously reply, looking through my phone.
"Mom and Shawn are going on their honeymoon."
"So you're gonna be all alone?"
"Unless you wanna come over for a few days. . ."
I pause for a second. "Nah, I'm good."
She pouts and shrugs. "Okay."
"I'm kidding, of course I wanna come over. Especially if I get to spend time with you."
She smiles and kisses my forehead.
"Hey, um, my parents aren't gonna be here tonight, so do you wanna go out for dinner?" I ask.
The corners of her lips curve into a breathtaking smile. "Like, a date?"
"If you want it to be," I hesitantly say.
"Yeah, without a doubt."
"Then it's a date," I smile, trying to fight the blush creeping in.
"Where are we going?"
"I don't know yet," I tell her, walking over to the edge of the bed. "But I want it to be a surprise."
"Okay," she smiles, making her way next to me.
I hear a knock on the door. "Come in."
The door opens and reveals my favorite curly headed boy. "Hey, Auggie."
"Hi, Riley and Maya. Mommy and Daddy are going to watch a movie and they said you have to babysit me."
"Wait, the whole day? Like, as in tonight, too?"
He shrugs and walks over, sitting in between us.
