Always, It's You

Chapter 53

The doorbell was ringing repeatedly expressing the person's impatience behind the door.
Ashley knew who was it from just the sound of the doorbell.

"Have some patience dude!" Ashley opened the door to let Maya in.

"Ok Ok....don't freak out!" Maya rushed in, "everything is alright, don't freak out."

"Why would I freak out?" Ashley frowned, "you are freaking out."

"That was for me." Maya thumped on the couch.

"What happened?" Ashley sat in front of her.

"I am going to die!" Maya laid back on the couch, "No, I should die."

"Are you gonna tell anything if you are done talking nonsense?" Ashley was impatient already.

Maya again sat back and raised her left hand, a puzzled expression written all over her face.

"What?" Ashley was dumb at the moment.

"Look at my finger you dumbo!" Maya shouted irritatedly.

There was a ring on her finger.

"Oh my! Don't tell me..." Ashley was freaking out this time.

"Yeah. Troye proposed me." Maya let out a deep sigh.
"And don't know why I said yes!!"

"Oh god!!!! I can't believe this!!!" Ashley was jumping in excitement.

"What do you mean you can't believe this? I can't believe it first!" Maya again laid back on the couch.

"I can't believe that YOU said yes. Troye is a nice guy, I do not doubt him!" Ashley chuckled.

"I thought you were my friend, Pip. Why are you getting into his side?" Maya rolled her eyes.

"Never knew there were two teams! And of course, its because you are the trouble maker in this relationship."

"Are you sure you not a double agent planted by him secretly?" Maya groaned.

Ashley laughed and sat beside Maya.
"I am so happy for you, M. You two would make the best couples out there."

"I don't know, Pip," Maya sighed and hid her face pulling a cushion over her face.
"I am always a hot mess. Why would he choose me?"

"That man loves you, M. You know that. And you said yes cause you love him more than you admit. "

"I was a terrible girlfriend who broke up with him every month on a regular basis.
You forgot to shave? Break up. You told me to take a job I like? Break up. You asked me how am I doing? Why are you so cheesy? it makes me cringe. Ok, let's break up!" Maya was rubbing her temple frustratingly.
"Now I can't imagine that I can't get a divorce every single month."

Ashley broke down into laughter.
"You know, that alone makes this whole relationship unbearably cute?"

Maya just pouted in response.
"What if it doesn't work out? What if it fails measurably? Oh my god! I should say no. There's still time for it."

" I'll kick you out right now if you do that," Ashley warned her. "You can come to a whole uncertain battlefield to fix me with someone, travel thousands of miles just for a hunch, push me into a relationship I have no idea how to handle, yet you are too dense to make your one work out."

"I am terrified, Pip," Maya confessed.

"Aren't we all? Just let it go. Everything will be fine. Believe me for once," Ashley held her hand.

And the next moment Maya screamed in pain from the punch Ashley planted on her stomach, "it hurt!"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
