Four years. That's how long it has been since Sebastian saw his best friend's sister Maya. She was the sweetest seventeen year old girl you probably ever met. Now? Not so much.
Her brother Theo moved out and her whole world fell apart after that. Sh...

"When are we leaving?" Maya asked as we entered the motel.
I looked at my phone. "In two hours. You can change, for now, I'll pop over to get some food."
"Pizza?" She looked at me with hope in her eyes.
I don't blame her for being hungry. The food at Dave's wedding was disgusting. I will never look at caviar in movies as I did before.
"I was thinking onion rings, but if you want pizza..."
"What no!" She stopped me when I was leaving. "Onion rings and pizza."
"Can you get any more unhealthy?" I was joking.
"Says a guy who stinks of cigarettes." She crossed her arms over her breasts.
"Says the woman with the package in her purse." I smiled.
"Get out." She laughed and pushed me towards the door. "And beer!" She screamed as I closed the door.
I shook my head and laughed. I wonder why she has to be so perfect.
Perfect? First beautiful and now perfect? Get it together Sebastian, you're beginning to act like a high school student that has a crush.

I came back about half an hour later, with two boxes of pizza, one container full of disgusting onion rings, and four beers.
When I opened the door, Maya was nowhere to be found. I put everything on the table under the window and only then did he hear her from the bathroom.
"You did not." I heard a woman's familiar laugh. Julie.
"Oh yeah, I did." Maya laughed. "Right in the crotch. But he deserved it." I walked closer to the ajar door.
"I'm so proud of you, you can't even imagine."
"Stop it, I'm starting to blush." She changed her tone of voice to a flirtatious one.
"But you felt amazing, didn't you? You finally told him to his face."
"It was liberating." She breathed a sigh of relief. "Shit Julie, what kind of makeup did give me, it won't come off."
"Don't complain, Mimi."
"Julie." There was a warning in her voice.
"What? Sebastian can call you that. Why can't I?" She sounded offended.
"Because. Don't ask stupid questions."
I shouldn't listen to their conversation. I am not included in it. I reached for the handle to open the door and let her know I was there when Julie spoke again.
"Are you going to tell him?" At her words, I pulled my hand away from the handle.
