Maya's POV
"Maya, hurry up please." I ignored Ella's constant attempts to get me too hurry up and get ready. I had agreed to go to Josh's and Ella's anniversary party, even though it took much persuasion. I also forgave Ella, after she apologised countless times. I mean, if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have kissed George...
***
"Heeey Maya!" I walked over to JJ, who gave me a bear hug.
I noticed in the corner of my eye, that George had his arm around Sarah, but his eyes were fixed firmly on me. I caught his eye and then blushed, knowing that we both just thought of our kiss.
"Riiiight guys. I need JJ, George, Sarah and Olly tidying this place up before Josh and Ella get here. And Maya, please can you sort out the kitchen? You're the only one who might not break anything. On second thoughts, you're as dopey as the rest!" I hit Jaymi playfully and did it. I needed to avoid George.
I was busy cleaning up the pieces of plate I just broke. I sliced my finger whilst picking up a sharp piece.
"Fuck!" I stood up and turned towards the cupboard that held the first aid box. But George was already there.
"Looks painful." I ignored him and tried to put the bandage around my finger, single handedly. It was so difficult. George stepped in and help and ignored my protests.
"You know the problem with you, Maya" he began, "is that you're so stubborn."
I ignored him and looked away whilst he bandaged up my finger. He put it in place so the bandage was secure. However, he still hadn't let go of my hand.
"Maya, stop pretending that it never happened."
I finally looked at him. I said nothing.
"Say something! You know what? I think I preferred you when we argued. At least you spoke to me."
He finally dropped my hand. But instead of keeping his hands to himself, it cupped my face, which forced me to look at him. I pushed his hand away, gently.
"George, I'm not pretending that it never happened. But why should I keep going over it? I mean, we both know that even if we wanted to be together, it would be too complicated. You know that, and as much as we both feel as though we need to be with eachother, we need to settle with friends, if that."
I watched his expression. He had looked wounded when I said that. But then he smiled.
"Just friends? I thought we were best friends?"
I glanced down. How could things possibly go back to normal?
"I know you're probably thinking that we could never go back to how we used to be, but we can. I mean, we've been through some hard times, no easier than this situation. Though, I do have to admit, none of our arguments have ever been so.. intimate!"
I giggled. I couldn't help but love this boy! He giggled back.
"So where does this put us?" He said, a bit timidly.
"Where we were. Best mates."
