“Now you’re just tempting me to see how fast they’ll get jealous,” Maya teased enjoying feeling like herself again. It had been so long since she felt more than like a shell. “I just want to give you a head’s up though that if we spend too much time together my daughter will demand that she meets you.”

“Probably pretty slow work, but by all means go ahead.” Christian laughed, shaking his head. He paused at the mention of her daughter, raising an eyebrow. “Why do I get the feeling that’s more a warning than general knowledge?”

“I’ll keep that in mind then when I keep flirting with you. However the moment one of those moms starts to claim you I will have to ruin the bake sale,” It was a joke that caused her to laugh as she shook her head.

“Oh god, bake sales.” Christian snorted, shaking his head at the thought. “I don’t think that’ll be a problem, but it’d be pretty funny to watch their heads explode.”

“There isn’t, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t sting or that you don’t deserve a lot better than her. But at least I know there’s no competition and I don’t have to worry about some PTA mom confronting me,” Maya admitted in slight amusement.

“PTA moms.” Christian snorted, shuddering dramatically before letting out a laugh. “No, I have none of them following me around to worry about.”

“It’s especially weird when they’re your kids’ ages,” Maya laughed brightly, “That sounds like a nightmare to me, I’m sorry that she did that but she’s the one missing out. And we can start with are you seeing anyone that might get jealous?”

“Yeah, I can imagine.” He agreed with a laugh, shrugging slightly. “It is what it is, I’ve moved past it. There’s not really anything I can do about it at this point. But no, there isn’t. I’ve been pretty self reliant the last couple years.”

“You don’t have an ugly mug, but I’m sure there are at least a handful if not more younger women telling you that already. But how about you tell me about yourself? Do you have kids?”

“Nah. I mean if there are, I don’t really pay attention, I feel creepy when younger people hit on me.” Christian shrugged, “no kids for me. I thought there was a chance once, but I woke up one morning, and she was gone without so much as a note. Kinda put a damper on the whole family thing,” he admitted. “But what do you want to know?”

mayaa-hale‌:

“I’m pretty sure you could just sit there and it would be worth while. You’re extremely attractive.”

“I’m pretty sure that’d be boring after awhile, you’d get tired of looking at my ugly mug.”

mayaa-hale‌:

“No, I want to accept. I just haven’t spent time with anyone that isn’t my kids in too long.”

“Then it’s well deserved, don’t you think? I’ll do my best to be worth the time out.”

mayaa-hale‌:

“I’d like to say I never get tired of spending time with my kids, but I know Rose would literally yell at me for not taking up the offer.”

“Hey, you don’t have to accept if you don’t want to. I won’t be an ass about it.”

mayaa-hale‌:

“Well if you ever find anyone that is send them my way then.”

“If you ever feel like eating around someone other than your kids, I’ll do my best to prove it to you.”

mayaa-hale‌:

“I just doubt it’s for a mother of grown children. No one wants to deal with that whole mess.”

“No one is a pretty broad assumption, if you ask me.” Christian shrugged, “not that anyone would want to ask me.”

mayaa-hale‌:

“I’m just trying to rationalize being okay with ending up alone which has always been my worst fear. I always thought I’d have someone you know.”

“What’s to say you’ll end up alone just because that didn’t work out? The world’s full of second chances, or so I hear.”

“The family isn’t the problem. His sister is even one of my best friends, but the marriage itself just wasn’t what I thought it would be. Not because of either of us but it just wasn’t meant to be. Maybe I’m just meant to be single for the rest of my life which is fine honestly considering I have my kids which is all that matters.”

“If you’re trying to rationalize it, maybe it’s not fine,” he shrugged. “But again, it’s none of my business, feel free to tell me to fuck off at any time. I’ll do my best to listen.”

“I’m Maya. From not around here just happened to marry the right family before things went to hell and now I’m stuck,” she admitted shaking her head.

“If it’s that bad, what’s keeping you here? It’s not like the family wouldn’t still be there if they’re decent enough to be called the right one.” Christian shrugged before pausing, “but what do I know, right? It’s probably none of my business.”

mayaa-hale‌:

“I think it is inevitable in some manner, but I’ve been surrounded by the same faces for the longest time now.”

“It’s definitely different here than in New York.” he sighed. “Christian, by the way. For a new face.”

mayaa-hale‌:

“Not even the faces change too much.”

“I don’t know, there seem to be some differences. But I’ve been gone awhile, I think that’s inevitable.”

mayaa-hale‌:

“If you want decent coffee you have to go to Maggie’s for it. Otherwise it just tastes watered down or burnt.”

“Lovely.” He sighed, “I guess Beacon Hills really doesn’t change.”

mayaa-hale‌:

“You mean to tell me that there’s things to miss in this town? Besies family of course.”

“Yeah, that’s kinda the point. Although my family’s not here anymore, so I guess I was hoping the coffee got better.”
