a friend in me · jacob + maude
I’m outside. Can you buzz me in? Jacob sent off his text to Maude, the towering actor leaning against the gate as he waited for his friend to let him in. The two had previously made plans to spend the evening together...as if they didn’t already spend enough time together during the week. Jacob just liked Maude’s company. And, if he was being honest, time with her was a welcomed distraction from the feelings he was beginning to feel for Maia -- feelings he was bending over backward to not feel.
This part was gonna sound...bad...but knowing that Maude harbored a bit of a crush on him meant zero chance of rejection on his part, an easy slam dunk. Not that he was hoping or expecting the night to turn into anything sexual, just that he wanted something to occupy his mind and knew she would give him her undivided attention for as long as he wanted it. “G’day, gorgeous,” he said as a greeting, wrapping one arm around her tiny shoulders once Maude finally appeared to let him in. || @mapatow
