MAYA

I got ready and descended the stairs. As I reached down, I saw him sitting on the sofa. I walked towards him and he noticed it and he looked at me. He stood up and stared at me for too long like he was not able to divert his attention from me. I too stared at him and took in his appearance. I walked towards him and stood in front of him. He mumbled “Goddess” under his breath that really made blood rush towards my cheeks.
