-Maya's POV-
I got woken up this morning by my phone ringing. I don't even open my eyes, I feel around for my phone on the night stand and answer without looking at the the caller ID. "Hello?" I said groggily.
"Hey Maya" That's what makes me openly eyes and sit straight up.
"Um hi, Jeremy" I fix my hair behind me eye as if he could see me.
"My Jenna is having a barbecue, I was wondering if you wanted to stop by"
"Yeah, I will love to, what time?" I'm smiling now
"12?"
" That works see you there!" Hang up with a smile on my face and decide to get up and get ready for the day now so I can just chill till I have to go to the Gilbert's house.
I brush my teeth, do my hair, make my bed, you know the basics of the morning and after that it's now 9:50. So I chill in my room till about 11:45. I walk out of my room and downstair to leave, when I hear Tyler start talking to Mason talking in the entryway. I wouldn't normally be interested but from everything that's been happening I can't help but over hear.
"Hey, man you got a second?" Ty starts
"Nah man, barbecue at Jenna Sommer's house." Guess he's going too
"C'mon man, give me 2 minutes. Alright? You can't keep dodging me. I'm freaking out over here" Freaking out over what?
"Tyler, what do you want me to say man? Yes, I turned into a wolf." HE WHAT?! AND HE CHUCKLED ABOUT THAT?! "No It's not gonna happen to you or Maya." Oh thank goodness
"How do you know that?"
"Because you're not gonna trigger the curse." Oh that's so assuring. "Your dad din't know anything about any of this, neither did I till it happened to me."
"How does it get triggered." I would love to know that too
"Ignorance is bliss. Trust me." TRUST YOU?! WE MIGHT TURN INTO FREAKING WOLVES AND YOU WON'T TELL US HOW TO AVOID IT!!
"You blow back into town with some supernatural family secret, and you expect me not to ask questions?" I agree with Tyler.
"I can't say anything more, I'm sorry Tyler." I am past shocked right now. "It's just better for you if I don't" What logic is that??
"You ever find that moonstone?" Tyler ask right when Mason was about to leave
"Do you know where it is?" He turned around way to fast and sounded way to suspicious for me not to ask questions
"What's so special about it?"Tyler answers a question with another question
"I told you. It was my mom's. It's sentimental" I don't buy that. "Look, don't worry about it. Forget I even brought it up, alright." I wish I could forget you guys brought any of this up. "See you later." Mason walks out of the door. Tyler pulls the stone out of his pocket, looks at it and turns to walk down the hall the opposite way of the door. I'm in the study, the next room over, mind blown. I'm just gonna go to the barbecue, have a great time, maybe kiss Jeremy again and forget any of this ever happened. Plan? Plan. And with those thoughts I walk out of the door, to my car and drive off.
-Jeremy's POV-
"Thanks for letting me invite Caroline. She can use a day of distraction." Elena said feeling a little bad for her friend
"Yeah thanks for letting me invite Maya too." I had a smile on my face.
"Well, they're not the plus ones that I'm worried about" Jenna said, I already know whose she's talking about, I don't like him either.
"Why is Damon coming" Jenna asked
"Because Alaric is a pity-taker." Elena explained
"C'mon Jenna be nice, you too Jeremy."
"Elena, I don't like him the fact that he's in our house doesn't put my mind to rest." I said
"I'll be nice when Damon learns to keep his paws off of you." Jenna retorted to Elena original request
"Ah, good news, I found the shot glasses." I hear Mason say walking into the kitchen. If he's here then Maya should be here by now too.
"That would be my exit" Elena says.
"Yeah, I'm gonna go find Maya." I said leaving the kitchen and walking towards the front only to bump into someone. Maya. I catch her before she can hit the ground and just look down towards her since she's shorter than me
"Hey" I said smiling
"hi" She replied back
-Maya's POV-
I was walking the front door and I looked down to the ground for 1 second only to bump into someone. I look up and it's Jeremy
"hey" he said looking at me
"hi" I said, I think to myself 'hi? that's all you're gonna say?' So I said next, " You have a nice home, it's welcoming." Mind you my face is red because I know I sound absolutely ridiculous right now and because we are still standing so close, so I just stop talking and let him talk over the conversation.
" You're cute when you get flustered, you know that?" That makes me blush even harder and I dip my head a little to hide it. He lifts my head back up by my chin and gives me a quick peck on the lips.
We continue to just look at each other when we hear Alaric come around the corner "Hey, foods ready, come get it." He had a knowing smile on his face. Jeremy and I look at each other and go get some food.
After we eat they break out the games and we start to play Pictionary.
"Dress! Ballerina!" Jenna said fast
"Puppy! Puppy! Puppy with a tutu!" Caroline said hold her hand out
"No" Damon said and turned back around to keep drawing
"um, a dog show?" I guessed
"Dog. Hound dog? You ain't nothing but a hound dog!" Jenna guesses again
"Still no" Damon said
"Dances with wolves." Mason guessed unimpressed.
"Mason wins...again." Damon announces
"Thank you, captain obvious" I rolled my eyes
"Your welcome." He retorts. Then Damon walks over to the kitchen where Elena is. I look at the time and turn to Jeremy.
"Hey I'm gonna head out, I still have to get ready for our date later." I say softly
"Yeah ok, I'll walk you out." He does so we say goodbye and I go back home to get ready for out date. After I'm done I call Amelia to give a once over. Of course she was almost more excited than I was. Almost.
-Jeremy's POV-
Once Maya leaves I start to get everything ready for our date. I know she doesn't really like the flashy stuff and that she is really into the constellations, so I planned to have a picnic then we can watch the stars and see if we can find some constellations.
I grabbed the picnic basket that we have in the closet, made some sandwiches, got some drinks and stuffed the rest with all the snacks that I know she likes.
"Hey whatcha doing" Aunt Jenna asked seeing me load up the basket and grab some blankets
" Maya and I are going on a date.. so I got all of her favorite foods." I saw lifting the basket. "And then we're going to watch the stars" I said pointing to the blankets.
"Cool" She said with a smile on her face. "You really like Maya huh"
"Yeah" I said smiling a little wider than before
" I'm glad you found someone that makes you better and happier."
"I'm glad too." She just smiled told me to have fun but not too much and left me to finish preparing for the date.
I finished preparing and went to get myself ready. By the time that was all done it was time to go pick up Maya, so I did just that. When I saw her all that was running in my mind is that she is beautiful. We went to the place that I picked out. I was this hill that had a waterfall off towards the side. *the same one Elena and Stefan went to when Damon fed Elena his blood.*
-Maya's POV-
When I got in the car Jeremy would not tell me where we were going. Even when we were climbing up the hill he still didn't tell me. But it was all worth the not knowing because when we go to the top my jaw dropped. It was stunningly beautiful up here.
"It's beautiful" I say to Jeremy and when I tell you this guy does the most cute but cliche thing but I for some reason liked it.
He goes, "Yeah, it is." Not looking around us but looking directly at me."
He opens the back of the trunk and it opens to blankets set up in the trunk and Jeremy sets up another blanket on the grass and puts the picnic basket on the blanket.
"So, I thought we could sit down and eat then do some star gazing?"
"That sounds amazing" We do just that after we finish eating and we're laying down watching the stars he turns to me to ask,
"Will you be my girlfriend?" He says it so fast I didn't know if I hear him right.
I turn to look at him, now we're laying down face to face now and say, "What?"
"Will you be my girlfriend"He repeats. I just smash my lips against his.
"Does that answer your question?" I ask slightly out of breathe, both of our lips are swollen
"If I say no will you do it again." I do it again anyway. And that's how we spend the night star gazing, talking about future plans and anything that comes to mind. Wow... I have a boyfriend. My first boyfriend!!!!
