New Year Cuddles

PTW: slight mention of blood

Maya's POV

December 31st. The last day of this indescribable year.

This year has been crazy to say the least; I graduated High School, got into NYU and my favourite part, becoming Joshua Matthews' girlfriend.

I was hanging out at Josh's apartment, like most other nights, but we were getting ready to head out to Cory and Topanga's loft as they were hosting a New Year's party on the roof.

We had planned to leave Josh's apartment at 7.30 to get to the loft at 8pm where we all were ordering pizza, and pizza was exactly what I needed because I felt off all day.

It was currently 7pm and I was stood in the bathroom trying to apply eyeliner when I felt the worst cramps I'd ever experienced.

I suddenly felt so sick to my stomach and I was stood in a black dress and I had a thong on.

I quickly went to the toilet and I had came on my period. Way to end the year.

I quickly cleaned myself up, grabbed a clear pair of underwear then went to try something from the bathroom cabinet, only for the basket where I had left period products incase of an emergency like this to be completely empty.

"Fuck." I groaned. I put some toilet tissue in my underwear then walked to the living room to find my boyfriend.

"Josh?" I stood awkwardly with my arms up covering my breasts.

"Yeah?" He turned around to face me then stood up when his eyes met mine. "You okay gorgeous, you look like you've seen a ghost."

"I-" I took a deep breath. This was the first time I had came on at his apartment or been around him alone when I was on.

"It's okay, I'm here." He hugged me, tight, and kissed the top of my head. I hate that when I was on I felt vulnerable, especially right now when I had nothing and felt so disgusting.

"Can you please run to the drug store for me? I'll give you money." He pulled back and looked at me.

"This isn't the part when you ask me to go get a pregnancy test-"

"No, no," I interrupted him. "The opposite actually. I just got my period and my cramps are bad-"

"What do you need me to get?" His hug got tighter.

"Pads and ibuprofen please." I smile duo at him.

"What kind of pads? There's so many." He asked causing my to chuckle.

"Ones with wings and re quite thick."

"Okay baby, you got absolutely nothing with you?" I shook my head. "Why don't you go run yourself a hot bath and help yourself to some bath bombs and relax while I'm out. When I can back I can give you a massage. Oh, there's also a hot water bottle in one of the drawers of my dresser, but it doesn't have a cover over it so you might need a towel so it doesn't burn you."

I reached forward and pinched him.

"What was the need for that may I ask."

"I was just checking to see if you are real because you see way too good to be true." He chuckled.

"I promise I'm real, I love you." He kissed my lips gently.

"I love you. We can't do all those things because we gotta get to Riley's."

"I'll call and say you're not feeling the best. We can stay here, you can put on comfy clothes and we can lie with fluffy blankets and watch the countdown on the couch together."

"Okay. I can't say no to that. I'm gonna go run the bath." I leaned up to kiss him then walked to the bathroom to run the bath.

"Maya?" He called as I heard the front door to the apartment.

"In the bathroom." I brought my knees up to my chest when we came in, but Josh being Josh covered his eyes. "You're acting like you've never seen me naked before."

"You know I have, but I just feel weird because this isn't a sexual setting and I don't want to make you uncomfortable."

"Please uncover your eyes. I trust you completely." I smiled. He put his hand down from his faces and smiled at me.

"I got you a couple different kinds of pads because I didn't wanna get the wrong ones, I also got some of your favourite snacks since we're staying here now, then ibuprofen, a new packet of underwear because I didn't know if you had some more spares here, and finally, a 'Hamilton' hot water bottle cover."

"You know me too well." I smiled. "Thank you, I love you so much and don't know what I'd do without you."

"I love you my girl." He leaned down and kissed my lips. "I'll go heat up the hot water bottle and wait for you in the living room. I have the blanket ready and Riley said its okay about not coming."

"Okay, thank you." I smiled and reached down the side the bath for my towel.

I dried myself then got myself dressed in clean underwear, one of Josh's t-shirts and a pair of baggy leggings then made my way through to the living room to see he had queued up Wild Child for us to watch.

"You know you're perfect, right?" I said to him.

"No gorgeous, that's you." I smiled and climbed under the blanket, cuddling in next to him.

I smiled up at him as we watched the movie and celebrated the new year started.

It may not have been the way we wanted to spend the start of the year, but I had Josh and that's all I needed.
