She plopped onto the couch, dropped her head in her hands, while I carried her bag in and shut the door behind me.

And yeah, she was back—in my space. Again.

I stood by the door for a second. Because why not? A lot had gone down in the last thirty minutes.

First, Maya told her “sweet” sister that I was her boyfriend. The nerdy guy standing next to her looked pissed. Then Maya stormed out, and I had to follow—because, well, apparently I was her boyfriend now.

I had no idea how I was supposed to feel about that.

Sure, I’ve been in the acting industry for a while, but that doesn’t mean I have to put on an act in my free time, either.

“Still waiting,” I said dryly, and a sigh escaped her lips.

“Sorry about that. I just needed to get away from them,” she muttered. I pursed my lips, then walked around the couch and stood in front of her.

I crossed my arms over my chest as her hazel eyes latched onto mine.

“Is there a reason for that?” I asked quietly. Her expression closed off, and

    ~• Maya•~I took a walk to the beach the next morning. Liam had not come downstairs yet, so, well, it was impossible to shower while he was in the room. The thought of sharing space with him still felt awkward, and I didn’t feel like dealing with that yet.I figured sitting around wouldn’t help much, so I decided to go to the beach and, if I was lucky, get some sun.The excited chatter of both men and women filled the air. It was mostly Italian, though, so yeah, I couldn’t understand much.I stopped when I was a couple of feet away from the water, spreading out my mat on the ground. I sat on it, drawing my knees to my chest as a sigh escaped me. .It was still pretty early, but the sun was already peeking out, and I was a little surprised to see all these people at the beach at this time. I stayed in that posture for God knows how long, just staring at the endless line of water and wondering what to do next.Jenny had said they were getting married, and Mum had called for me. I was

    •~ Maya•~ “Coffee? Breakfast?” he asked, following me into the sitting room. I groaned mentally. “I don’t need anything from you,” I said, and he stepped in front of me, pasting a wide smile on his face—it made him look a little cute, unfortunately. “You just saved my life. I should at least—” “Look, just stop, okay? I’m not interested in whatever you have to give or what you want to do,” I said, and his expression dropped a little. It should have made me feel bad, but I was too exhausted to feel anything anymore. It was time I stopped prioritizing others’ feelings over mine. It was fucking time I did so. I gave a small nod and took a step back, running my fingers through my hair. “Thank you for letting me stay the night. I’ll just freshen up and be out of your space,” I muttered before I turned around, grabbed the bag where I’d put my toiletries earlier, and walked toward the staircase. I stopped dead in my tracks and muttered a curse under my breath before I tu

    ♧•Maya•♧Awkward.One word to define how everything felt.Because why was the whole town fully booked at the exact time I desperately needed a place to spend the night?Liam stood in the middle of the room, arms crossed in front of his chest.“So, no rooms?” he asked, and I pursed my lips.Oh well. I had to put up with this, unfortunately.“There won’t be rooms available for now—said the ten receptionists I met,” I muttered, glancing around the room. A TV in the middle, one couch, a fireplace, a kitchen, a staircase, and...I couldn’t believe I’d been scammed out of this.It would’ve been the perfect place to spend the summer, recovering from a breakup and betrayal. But well, that was also taken from me too—unfortunately.“There’s just one room here. I believe you know that already,” he said, tone dry. I sighed and met his eyes.“Look, I just need a place to sleep. I’ll go search for a room tomorrow and be off your ass,” I said, then frowned. “I’ll take the couch.”I glanced at the co

    ◇•Liam•◇"You've got to be kidding me," she hissed, taking another step back.I blinked, surprised—then grinned."Look who we have here. Maya," I said. Her name rolled off my tongue, feeling both foreign and oddly familiar.I sipped the coffee in my hand, eyes never leaving her.She looked borderline annoyed—irritated, even. By me."This is a pleasant surprise. You came looking for me," I placed a hand over my chest, and she scrunched up her nose."You're in the wrong house," she snapped. "I booked this place for a month. In my name!" She wagged a finger, and I leaned casually in the doorway."So did I, pookie," I muttered. Her brows furrowed before she frowned."I don't know what game you're playing, Carter. But you should stop."I raised an eyebrow. "I should be the one asking what game you’re playing. Are you stalking me? Because there’s no way you’d just 'mysteriously' show up at my door."I crossed my legs and tilted my head."Or tell me—did you miss me so much you came looking?"

    ♧•Maya•♧ *Three Weeks Later* After locking myself in the house all day for the last three weeks and crying myself to sleep, I finally remembered I had bought tickets—for Tom and me to spend the vacation in a little house I’d paid for in Tuscany. They said Rome is the best place to enjoy the summer sun, so I planned it as an anniversary surprise. It was starting to look like the best option for a rebound. I couldn’t do this for the rest of my life. Stay on my phone all day waiting for his texts? Yeah, I know I sounded stupid but a part of me wanted to badly believe what I’d seen wasn’t real. Crying myself to sleep? Drink? I was a mess. A fucking mess. I’d even taken a break from my work. They could cope without me. I stared at the plane tickets —they had expired. I’d have to book another one, but it doesn’t matter. I needed fresh air, space to rethink my life, and get back on my feet. And I was sure I could do that outside of California. And with that resolve, I booked the ne
