"You want to taste it?" Although Maya was very tall, Aiden still had to look down a bit.
With shock Maya raised her head, her eyes looked straight into his. "Too close!" Maya exclaimed in her head as she shook her head and walked past him, "On what price?"
She didn't believe that he would let her taste his ice cream without asking for anything in return.
"You let me taste yours! Simple." Aiden smiled.
"Nope! Hahaha!" Maya said as she ran forward. Aiden enjoyed her playfulness and rushed towards her.
"Oops!" Maya exclaimed, "Do you have a napkin or a handkerchief? I think I accidentally got some of the ice cream on my face."
This was so embarrassing!!
"Huh?" Aiden saw that there was a tiny bit of it besides her lips.
Conveniently making use of her present absentmindedness, Aiden lifted his hand as his thumb wiped it off.
Maya looked at him and said, "Ewww! How can you just-" But before she could complete, Aiden said his thoughts out loud, "Well that had a wonderful taste... I didn't expect Mint flavor to be so nice!"
As Maya heard these words, she completely forgot about the disgust she was feeling when she saw Aiden taste the ice cream and shouted, "Wait, did you just cheat and have my ice cream!!?"
There were several things that Maya didn't like, but the thing that ticked off her and Sofia the most, was someone eating or even tasting the food that they were having, be it with permission or without.
"Now since you have already had mine, let me taste yours as well!"
Who would have expected that these two people who were always serious towards the world would love playing childish games with each other?
Aiden lifted his hand up high so that Maya could not reach it. Just a little bit of jumping and Maya's face was already on par with his face. Looking at her so closely, Aiden was mesmerized but Maya seemed unaware of it as she kept on stretching and jumping to reach his uplifted hands.
Just one last jump and she would have her hands on the Moose Tracks ice cream!!
"Hupp-!!" Maya jumped. Both of their hands collided as she got what she wanted.
But that wasn't the only thing that brushed past each other… Her lips landed on his. Maya widened her eyes.
"Shoot! what the hell am I doing!!!" As if something exploded inside her mind, Maya roughly pushed Aiden and ran away.
Since they had already reached the entrance of the hotel lobby, she ran straight into the elevator and pressed the sixth floor button. Seeing that Aiden was also walking towards her, Maya immediately closed the doors.
Aiden was also as shocked as she was, in fact far more than that. He had never imagined that a little game could lead to such beautiful thing! And it was his…
…
Once Maya entered her room, she quickly went inside the bathroom and splashed some good amount of water on her red face. She was burning up! What the heck just happened!?
It was not as if she had never kissed someone, she and Lucas had been in a relationship for about five years! Apart from other things, this sort of intimacy had already been experienced by her.
So what was this? Her heart felt as if it would leap out of her any moment. She was very flustered right now.
Realizing that a lot of water already seeped into her clothes, Maya decided that she should just take a bath.
After coming out from a warm and fuzzy bath, Maya felt exhausted. She had overdid herself today. Forgetting everything else, right now she just wanted to hit the bed and fall asleep.
Right when she was about to lie down, her phone started vibrating. "Ugh! Who is it?" Maya asked with an irritated voice.
"Aww I feel offended." Came the voice from the other side.
"Hmm?" Sleepy Maya was unable to recognize his voice.
"It's me Aiden. The guy whom you just-" Listening to his half sentence, Maya who was half awake was now wide awake. "Oh he-hello!" She stuttered, "What's up?"
Aiden jokingly looked up and said, "Sky?"
Maya was taking everything seriously right now, "You are outside?!"
"Um… Yes, come out to your balcony, you can see me here."
"On my floor!?" Maya was shocked, "You claimed up all the way!!?"
"Just come out woman!" Aiden laughed at her thoughts.
Maya got up and hurriedly came outside, only to see that her balcony was empty. She had been cheated by him! Again!
Aiden, who had been watching and reading her expressions like an open book ever since she had come out, suddenly said, "I didn't lie. It's the truth that I'm standing out."
Maya looked at her phone, the voice sounded very real and not what was generally heard on the phone. Then she looked towards her left and there he was!! Standing in the balcony of the room beside her!
"Wh-what are you doing here!?" Maya realized that she was stuttering a lot today.
"That was my first kiss lady." Aiden looked at her and said huskily.
Maya felt as if she was going to turn into a tomato today! "What?!" She didn't want to say it but blurted it out involuntarily.
"Yeah, and so I need you to compensate me for it."
"H-how?" Again! What was wrong with her? Why was she so flustered when she was with him?
"Just let me kiss you back!" Aiden could barely hold back his cheekiness.
It was his first kiss after all… Maya knew that anyone would have treasured it so much and she had just wasted it in a fit. She felt that she could at least do this much for him. "Okay…" She agreed reluctantly.
All of a sudden Aiden climbed up the railing of his balcony.
"HEY! What are you doing!?" Maya exclaimed. Was he just going to cross over to her place? Although it was not that high, the sixth floor was still scary!
"I was coming over to you." Aiden explained himself and mumbled on, "What if you change your mind by the time I come using the long way?"
"What?" Maya couldn't hear what he said afterwards. "Anyways, come in using the door, like a normal person!"
She then left the balcony and went to open the door. Aiden also went on to do the same.
*Clack*
Somehow, Aiden was already standing there before Maya could open the door. "That was fast!" She thought.
As if resigning to her fate, Maya shut her eyes tightly and puckered her lips, "Quick! Let's get over it."
Aiden looked at her with loving eyes, and bended down.
*Chu*
He kissed her cheeks.
