"I just wanted to Apologize for my behavior, it was uncalled for so...Yeah I'm sorry, " Maya apologized, she sounded too broken and genuine for Rachel to think she was daydreaming leaving both of them in shock.
"I know this is strange and you expected me to be at home fuming and sulking and throwing a fuss later but I'm done with all that, I just want to have fun tonight with my best friend, that's all," Maya begged.
Rachel looked at Yandel again and see could see convincion in his eyes, of course he was going to be convinced, this was his childhood friend who he spent all his life with being friends. But she had to admit, it all felt weird, some hours ago, she was spitting venom and slanders on tbeir faces and kissing someone elses boyfriend and not she's suddenly sorry for being a class A asshole and wants to enjoy her night with her best friend.
But then she never really got to know her as a person and she was intertwined with the person she has been obsessed with since they were kids, giving her a benefit of doubt, she decided to give them some space to talk to each other. She opened the door and was about to go out when Yandel held onto her hands.
"Hey, Where are you going?...I thought we were going in together??," Yandel said, pouting his lips at her.
"Stop it, I told you it's not cute," Rachel slapped his hands off her.
"Come on, wait for me" Yandel begged.
"I'm not going in now, just going to meet up with Amy and the others and besides, you guys need some time to talk to each other, it's clear that there are some uncleared grounds between you both," Rachel said, she leaned in to give him a kiss on the cheek while she kept eye contact with Maya, She just smiled sweetly at her with a cunning look lingering in her eyes. She knew at that very moment she had to be weary of Maya, the bitch was up to no good.
"Alright,"
"Wait for me...please" Yandel kissed her hands before letting her go. He watched her exit the door and wave at both of them before blowing a kiss his way, he felt his heart pick up in beat, looking into his rear mirror, he saw a sheepish smile on his face.
"What is this girl doing to me…" Yandel muttered to himself before coming down from his car and locking it with the key remote in his hands.
"Uhm...Hi" Maya said, smiling nervously.
She really needed him to believe her.
"Hey…" Yandel replied, pulling her close and hugging her, he just wanted his strong and beautiful childhood friend back, the one who defended him all the time and the one who took care of his kid brother and sister when he was away.
"So wanna go inside, You know the paparazzi are going to be all over you this evening," Yandel teased her as they held hands. Maya couldn't believe he just forgave her on the spot after all she had done but then that was what was expected of him, he was always forgiving with people he loved and cherished.
"Oh you are such a tease," Maya said leaning into him briefly before going back to her standing position, she couldn't deny it felt really good, she was so pissed she couldn't have that forever.
"So why don't we go meet my friends," Yandel suggested, walking away from his car towards where Araceli stood gorgeously beside Amy and Ricky, they seemed to be in a deep conversation that they didn't even notice him coming their way, he turned back half way through realizing that Maya wasn't following him, he walked back to her and saw that she was nervous staring at them from afar.
"Hey, It's okay, If you come to apologize, they would forgive you trust me," Yandel said, tugging her hands towards their direction but she didn't borge, she remained where she was standing looking reluctant.
"Come on Maya, I would be there with you, it would be better to clear any element of bad blood so you don't have to worry about that, we are all friends here," Yandel convinced her but she didn't seem convinced, staying adamantly where she was, making peace with Yandel and pretending to be at peace with Araceli was her goal.
There was something the muslims used to say like "If Muhammad (SAW) doesn't go to the mountain, the mountain was gonna come to him". Well her mountain was coming towards her in the form of four people, even though it was evening, it was still bright a bit and she could totally make out the hate on one of the two guys face which she guessed was the boyfriend of the guy she kissed out of one of her manics.
"Great…" Maya muttered to herself as she emotionally prepared herself for their drama, she might sound ridiculous saying she hated unnecessary drama but she was kidding, she hated the drama, the unnecessary drama, the having to apologize to people she didn't give two shits about, so she got in character, the sooner she became more visibly sorry, the faster she gets to get rid of them.
"Hey Araceli…" Maya greeted, she knows she had already seen through her act so there was no use being nice with her. She really would love to break Araceli and make her regret eating from exclusive plates.
"Hey Maya...Don't you think you owe some people an apology," Rachel gave a bored look without hinting who it was, no one needed to point out Ricky fuming on the side with Ben putting his hands on his shoulder.
"She thinks she's such a smart planet," Maya thought to herself as she was getting there.
She knew people like Araceli, they thought they were the hero of the day, always loved to prove they were smart or could make people feel better interceding for people they knew nothing about other than what they have been told. Her mom was a very good example of an Araceli, where the hell is she now...In fucking jail!!!.
She went to jail for a man who didn't give two shits about her, yet she was rotting there for the next twenty five years, she did visit her once after which she sent her away to never see her again. She gave her one advice.
"Fuck up anyone who attempts to fuck you up," it was a statement that lived with her for all her life till this very moment and it influenced her every action.
