The next day, Maya and Mia went out to hang out. They sat down on a shaded tree and had a snack with apple juice.
“Is Justin not coming again? I thought you invited him over?”. Maya asked.
” Yes I did, I guess he is on his way”. Mia replied.
“OK, so, tell me how is it going between you and Ryan?” She asked and Mia stared confusedly at her.
“How do you mean?”.
” You know what I mean”.
“Nothing is going on”.
” Are you sure?” she asked staring unknowingly at her.
“Don’t give me that look, Maya, Nothing serious is going on between us, we are just mutual friends”.
” Hmm, well I don’t think so, It seems Ryan likes you”.
“Why will you think like that?”.
” Because is the truth, the earlier you realize it, the better for you”. She sips from her drink.
“Yeah, whatever”. she said.
” Ok, but anyway I have something to tell you”.Maya said.
“What?”.
” Am going on a vacation trip with Jayden”. she said and Mia stared surprisedly at her.
“What? A trip?”. she questioned.
” Yes, we will be leaving in a week”.
“Oh my gosh, Maya”. she said excitedly as they held each other hands.” Are you for real?”.
“Yes, he said it would be good for my health since a lot had happened for the past few months”.
” Exactly! You deserve it, so which of the country are you two going?”. she asked smiling.
“Miami”.
” Aww! That is so cute, am so happy for you”.
“I know right”. They smile at each other
” But it kinda seems like you two are going on a honeymoon”. she teases.
“That’s silly of you”. she said.
” Seriously, girl, I am happy for you, I am happy for meeting a man like Mr.williams, You two really look like the best couple and I admire you a lot”.
“Yeah, but I am still doubting the whole thing”. she said, Paley.
” Meaning? Do you think what is happening between you two is a fantasy?”.Mia asked.
“I am just scared to wake up one morning and discover this whole thing was a dream”.
” You are not dreaming Maya, Mr.williams has feelings for you, and he is showing it to you in every way”.
“But the contract, if I had my baby, everything would become a fantasy”. she said sadly and Mia caressed her hands.
” Everything will be fine, you are not in a fantasy, you will both live happily together “.
” I don’t know why I am so drawn to him, I feel empty if he is not around me, am scared to let go, What I feel for him is deep and I sometimes wonder if he feels the same way for me”.
“He does, I believe it”.
” Do you think I should give him some time for him to realize his true feelings for me?”.
“No, why would you wanna do that? I know mr. williams cares about you and the baby, Don’t let the contract between you two determine the sweet relationship you two are building now, okay?”. she said and they smiled at each other. Then they got interrupted by Justin.
” Hey ladies, sorry I am late”. he said and he sat down next to them.
“We thought you would make it”. Maya said.
” Sorry about that, traffic was terrible,”.he said.”So, how is it going?”.
“Good”. Mia said.
” How have you been Maya?”.
“Great, and you?”.
” Good, am sorry about the trauma of the press and social media thing between you and Mr.williams, It must been very hard for you”.
“Yeah, but it’s over now”.
” That’s good to know”.
They continued chatting, Justin went to get a snack for himself and later came back to join the conversation.

A week later, Jayden and Maya were set for their travel, The driver drove them to the airport where Jayden’s private jet was already waiting for them. Everyone in the airport was staring amazingly at them as they were escorted by a lot of men, Maya was nervous with the way everyone was staring, Jayden noticed her mood, and he tightened his hand on her to ease her nervousness.
Soon they got to where the private jet was packed on the roof. Maya was amazed.
” Wow, you own your private jet?”. Maya asked as they were both walking hand in hand.
“Yes, you know I love being private”. he replied.
” Indeed you are”. They chuckle and the hostesses bow to them as they step into the jet.”This is amazing”. She stares amazingly at the whole place and Jayden smiles at her.
“You like it?”.
” Yeah, is beautiful”.
“Am glad you do”.
” This is like a dream come true, and I wish never to wake up from it”. she said.
“You are so funny, you should sit and relax”.
” I wish I could, I feel this is like a dream”. She said and Jayden gave her a pinch in her hand.” Ouch!”. she screams in pain. “What did you do that for?”. She frowned at her.
” Is to remind you that you are not dreaming, does it hurt?”.
“Of course!”. she yelled and Jayden chuckled.” Does it sound funny to you?”.
“Yeah, you need to see your face right now”. he teased.
” Oh really, how about I pinch you back?”. she said as they were both struggling with each other, The hostess smiled at their funny attitude.
“Stop”. Jayden giggled struggling with her, and then he grabbed her waist and pulled her to himself, Their face was an inch apart, and the hostess saw the intimacy they were, They quickly turned their face away pretending not to see anything.
Maya gulped nervously. Jayden pulls his face closer and his lips crash on hers softly, he strokes her hair and deepens the kiss, the kiss becomes tense as they don’t mind they are in the moving jet and the people around them. Maya circled her hands around his neck responding passionately to the kiss.
