Shouldn't Have Kissed You

It's almost been a month since Kyle came back to the the country and five days to Maya's birthday. Of course, she wasn't looking forward to it but her friend was busying herself with the day. Anyway, who could blame her for that. It wasn't her fault that she didn't celebrate the day.

It was all her father's fault. It was his for making sure he reminded her how worthless she was on that day. He kept showing how much he hated her and how he wished she was never born to this world.

She was a curse and she did get that. She got it loud and clear from the beloved governor. Maya walked out of the bathroom pulling her hair in ponytail. She had called in sick and now, she wished she hadn't done that. Yes, she didn't feel okay but she preferred being with her patients rather than staying in doors.

She had no one to call. Her husband had important meetings to attend to all day. At least that's what he told her last night when they're at the garden looking up at the stars.

This between them were getting better ever passing moment. She could now tell him anything and he could do the same. And through that, they got a chance to become best of friends and she was glad. Glad that in few months, they would separate as good friends and not as enemies like before.

Chris would be happy with Kimberly and she, she would leave her own life without her father's dictatorship anymore. Wasn't that a win win for both of them? They would be happy with whatever they choose and they would still be friends.

As for Kyle, she refused to allow Maya give her grievances. She knew very well of her situation but Kyle being Kyle, she refused to listen to Maya. According to her, Maya had to live up for once in her life. As if she wasn't leaving at all. So calling her with five days to go, it was out of option.

Maya walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge. She needed to do something even if it meant teaching herself how to cook. Just when she was about to pull breast chicken out, the door bell rung.

Maya walked out of the kitchen just when the door bell rung the second time.

"Thank goodness." Who else would be at the door ringing it like a mad man. "I thought you went to say hey to the devil."

Maya hugged Leonel back. "So that's how you think of me?" She asked pulling away then closing the door. "For your info, I'm a born again."

Leonel laughed walking towards the living room.

"Says the lady who wanted revenge in less than two months ago."

"Hey, I did ask God to forgive me."

"Yeah, sure and now you want a divorce." Leonel sat on a love seat across from Maya. "And if I do remember the Bible very well, it's against the divorce."

Maya looked at the man who sat across her. He was right. The Bible did refuse divorce and if one did divorce their partners, then they had to have committed adultery for a divorce to take place. But then again, Jesus said we should forgive seventy times seventy.

That had her wondering if she was doing the right thing. According to her brother before he left, no one in their lineage ever divorced. They all loved their partners to the moon and back. Which meant she would be the first one to do that.

To disgrace her lineage. This would even prove more to her father's words. That she was useless, a good for nothing brat who is never grateful for anything...

"Hey, I was just joking." Leonel said leaning closes to take her hands into his. "I heard that you weren't feeling good. What's wrong."

Now concern was written his face and not the humour that he had before. This had Maya admiring the way he could change from one mood to another without even trying.

"It's nothing," she tried to pull her hands away from his hold. "I just had crams this morning but I'm okay now."

"Ooh!" Leonel blushed. "It's that time of the month. That means no sex and I was looking forward to it since I'm here."

Maya laughed getting up from her seat. She expected anything to come out of Leone's mouth.

"You're crazy."

"About you."

"Like I don't know that." Maya smiled at him. "Don't you've shooting today?"

Leonel got up from his seat too. "I did but I canceled it when I heard about you're condition."

"That chance can go to someone else, you know. It's important you go and do what you do best."

"Nothing is more important than knowing how you're to me, Maya."

He was serious. She knew that since she didn't see the any trance of humor in his face when he said that. It's like this was the first time she saw this side of Leonel.
