M- I got the job Lucas, I got the job

Maya woke me up by jumping on my bed with her phone in her hand looking extremely happy and pleased with herself.

L- Maya, that's amazing. Is it the job at the art gallery?

M- Yes! So I get to look at the beautiful art and help to teach children how to paint wonderful pictures

L- I love hearing you sound so happy, today is the best I've seen you since you've come her

M-I know. I finally have hope. It may just be a job but I'm really looking forward to it

L- We should go out to celebrate. Vanilla Lattes on me

M-You're so basic, but sure

L-Thank you so much for insulting me, you're getting back to your usual self... I'm not basic by the way. I just enjoy the occasional seasonal beverage.

The nearest Starbucks was only a ten minute away so we decided to walk. She held my hand as we walked through the leaves, she must have still been happy from getting the job she wanted, but I didn't mind. I went and ordered as she got a table and emailed the art gallery back to say that she would love to have the job. When I got to the table she looked up and smiled at me, I loved her smile, she was always so beautiful.

M- Now I have a job I can help you pay the bills

L- It's fine I don't need help with them

M- I know but I want to, I've always dreamed of sharing an apartment with someone, sharing bills and being happy

L- I mean you can if you want, but it makes us seem more like a couple

M- Oh I didn't mean it in that way

L- I wouldn't mind if you did

What did I say? Did she hear me? She didn't reply, just sat in silence drinking her latte.
