things do start getting a little steamy from here
(grace's pov)
"gracie! you're up by yourself!" taylor exclaims, as i walk down the stairs.
"i'm just looking forward for school," i say, smiling.
"i see, i see," she said, making me turn red.
after i eat my bagel with jalapeno cream cheese before rushing out the door. i walk to school and see riley, lucas, and farkle, but not maya.
"hi grace!" riley says, after spotting me.
"hey riley, where's maya?" i ask.
"we don't know, we're waiting for her," riley explains.
we all stand there waiting for maya but none of us see her and once the bell rings, we each go to our classes. i worried for the next couple hours cause she wasn't there in third or fourth period either. once the bell rings for lunch, i rush to riley and bombard her with questions.
"did maya respond?"
"have you seen her in the hallway?"
"is she okay?"
"grace! calm down! let's go look for her," riley said, putting her hand on my shoulder.
"i'll help, and so will smackle, and lucas," farkle adds, as they three walk over.
after searching the school and outside, as i was walking back in, i saw blonde hair behind the school. i walk over, the rest of them following me, confused. once i went over, i saw maya there, she was with zay... they were kissing.
"ahem." riley said, catching her attention.
"oh, hey guys" she said, looking down at her feet.
"you skipped school to make out with zay!" riley exclaimed.
"chill out, it was one day," maya said, shoving past me, walking away.
"m-maya?"
"fuck off gracie,"
"maya, c'mon,"
she walks over to me before pushing me down. i would have been on the floor if riley didn't catch me. she runs her hands through her hair and walks over to me, making me shake. she grabs my arm and twists it, looking over at the bruise i got from being shoved.
"riley, go clean this up," she said, dropping my hand.
and the next thing i know... she was gone.
i couldn't think as riley pulled me down the road. all i could think about was maya. why did she look at my arm? why did her eyes look worried? what's going on.
"grace! grace! GRACE!"
i look up in surprise as i saw mrs. matthews waving her hand in front of my face. i look down and see farkle wrapping up my hand. i pull away and stand up.
"i'm fine, guys. i'm going out," i say, as the half-wrapped bandage falls off.
i check my phone and see ten missed calls from mom and dad. fuck. i quickly call back.
"GRACE! where the hell are you?!" mom yells through the phone.
"i'm just with friends, i'm sorry i didn't tell you. i'll be home for dinner tho," i respond.
"god gracie, don't ever scare me like that again. just be careful and be back before eight," she says.
"sure mom,"

i walk around the park and since no one was there, i sit down on the bench and look at the statue of the two boys and two girls. i look to the side and see a blond haired girl staring at a butterfly, then i realize it was maya. i walk behind her and stand there for a minute.
"it's pretty, isn't it?" i whisper by her ear.
she turns around and pushes me. she looks at me as she sighs in relief. then she looks at me in anger.
"i told you to leave me alone!"
"but i missed you,"
"just go aw- did they not bandage your arm?" she said, grabbing my hand.
"maya i-"
"no, lead me to your place. they're so stupid they didn't even bandage your arm," she said.
i walked in front of her back to my house, and since i have a key, i went inside and my mom pulled me into a hug.
"t-taylor swift?"
"you must be?"
"i-i'm maya,"
"oh, maya, grace talks a lot about you," mom said, grinning at me.
i looked back and maya was smirking at me, as my cheeks turned red. after we went upstairs and i got her the first aid kit, she pushed me onto the couch. she sat next to me and bandaged my arm the best she could.
and now she was sitting on me and trying to take out the little pieces of wood and grass out of my hair from the fall in the park. she looks at me while her hand was in my hair. the way she was staring at me made me squirm. her intimidating gaze made me feel things i've never felt before.
"m-maya please,"
her hands cupped my cheeks as my hands trailed down to her stomach. she wraps her arms around my neck and pulls herself closer. she pushes me fully onto the couch, not breaking the kiss. she straddles my waist as she wraps her arms around my neck.
"ahem."
maya pulls away from me as we both look towards the door. taylor was standing there with an unreadable expression on her face. this was the first time i saw maya blush, which made me blush. taylor comes in and sits on the bed.
"what's up besties?" she asks, smirking.
"no! you're not staying here!" i exclaim.
"oh yes i am, i don't need you two doing anything in my house,"
"mom! we weren't going to!"
"your hands said differently," she said, raising her eyebrow.
"let's just watch a movie," maya suggests.
"great idea!" taylor said, grabbing the remote.
taylor wiggles her way in between me and maya, separating us. she puts on grey's anatomy while petting dibbles. after a couple minutes i hear light snores but maya wasn't on the bed. i looked over and taylor was asleep so i got out and went downstairs. maya was on the couch looking at something on her phone. i walk up behind her and jump onto the couch, landing on her knee.
"fuck," she said, smacking me.
she was laying down on the couch and i was hugging her legs, letting my legs hang off the couch. one of her hands was playing with my hair while the other one was holding my hand. i closed my eyes as i slid up, having my face now on her stomach, which was a lot more comfortable. then i finally decided to sleep.
gosh i'm so in love, i think as i open my eyes, getting adjusted to the bright light of the sun.
"ow!" i mutter, as someone hit me on the head.
i rub my eyes as i look up. taylor was standing above us with grandma. i look down and see maya in a bra and shorts, and my eyes widen. i know what they were thinking, but it was just really hot yesterday so maya just took off her shirt.
"mom, no we didn't- i don't wanna hear it," she interrupted.
"we didnt have sex!"
"her shirt is on the floor right there, and are you even wearing a bra?"
"i- mom- it- it looks bad but- but nothing happened,"
she sighs and says, "i trust you."
as she walks to the kitchen, i quickly wake up maya, making her groan. as she got up and saw my mom in the kitchen, she scrambled to her shirt and quickly put it on.
"don't worry, she knows we didn't- yeah okay," maya said, quietly.
we walk over to the bathroom and i hand her a toothbrush and some clothes. i walk over to mom's bathroom and get ready. as i wast past my room to go downstairs, i see maya standing outside.
"maya, you could have gone downstairs," i said, as we walked.
"it would be awkward," she said, following behind me.
maya practically hid behind me until we had to sit down to eat. she clinged onto the back of my shirt and since she was shorter than me, i covered her.
"so, what did you guys do last night, maya?" taylor asks.
i looked over at maya and she was red, like really red.
"w-we umm just hung out. w-we didn't have umm you know," she said, tripping over her words.
"no i don't know, explain," taylor teased.
"mom!" i interfered, as maya couldn't say anything.
