Jayden and Maya were having their breakfast, and Jayden was stealing gazes at her.
“Do I have something on my face? why do you keep staring at me?” she asked as she gulp her tea
“Why, you don’t like it if I stare at you?” he scoffs.” so, are you ready to grant my first wish?”.
“Seriously, I am not a fairy godmother”. she said, and Jayden chuckled.
” Do I need a fairy godmother before my wish can be granted?”.
“Fine! What do you want?”.
” Good, my first wish is for you to start sleeping in my room from now on”. he said and stare surprisingly at him.
“What? What happened to my room?”. she frowned.
” Is just a week”.
“Fine!”.
” I will tell you my second wish after the first one is granted”. he resumes back his breakfast and Maya stares hard at him.
Later in the day, Maya went to the hospital for a check-up
“How is my baby doing, Doctor?” She asked as they seated in the office.
“Your baby is in perfect shape and healthy, try to consume enough whole fruits, veggies, whole grains, protein, and fat-free dairy, ok?”. he said smiling.
” Sure, I will, thank you”.
“You are welcome, don’t do things that will stress you, especially Jayden, don’t let him annoy you”. he said jokingly, and Maya chuckled.
” Sure, I will be on my way now”. she stood up to leave.
“Do, take care of yourself”.
” I will, thank you”. she said and left, she came out from the hospital building to stop a cab, and suddenly, a familiar car parked in front of her, she sighs knowing fully well who it is.
“Hi”. Lucas said as he came down from his car, standing in front of her.” what are you doing here? Are you sick?”.
“Why are you here? Why are you stalking me?”.
” I am not, I was just passing by and I saw you hailing for a cab, I can drop you to where you are going”
“No thanks, I don’t need your help”. she said coldly.
” You are still angry, what will I do to have you forgive me?”.he asked.
“I am not angry with you, is just that I don’t want to be seen with you”.
” So, you think I am bad?”.
“I don’t know, please I will like to leave”. she tries to walk, but Lucas stops her.
” Hold on, did Jayden tell you that I am bad? Did he say something to scare you away from me?”.
“Why will he do that? he is not the reason why I keep pushing you away, I really don’t want to get involved between you two, and I don’t care to know whatever grudges you two have against each other, I just don’t want to get involved”. she said and halt for a cab, it stops and she left to enter and they zoom off, Lucas let out a sigh and left for his car and zoom off.
