PERSPECTIVE: MAYA
SETTING: RACHEL'S BEDROOM
I met her, oh, say four, five years ago- or at least that's when I noticed her for the first time. We played softball together, or against each other nevertheless for most of our early and late teenage years. And every Saturday I'd see her, and I'd see that beautiful warming smile, and that intoxicating, vanilla perfume scented, long blonde hair. And suddenly, just by seeing there she made me better. Even though I never played on her team and never went to her school, somehow we became close anyway.
And even after softball season ended, I still made sure to see her every Saturday. And of course, Saturday's were the best days of the week; even if I had to go to hell and back throughout the week, those Saturday's were so worth it. And then there was that one Saturday, this particular one, when everything changed.
I didn't really understand why she asked me to go to that party. Rachel was a year-older than me, and no doubt she did not need me to get in; one look at her piercing blue eyes and perky B-cup tits and she could get anything wanted from basically everyone, including me.
So when she asked me to take her to my ex-boyfriend, Matt's, party, I couldn't say no. I broke up with Matt because he wanted my virginity, and I wasn't willing to give it to him... Later that day I caught him cheating on me with some Emily girl who was able to give him what he wanted from me.
That was two years ago, we're friendly now I guess I could say- he keeps chasing me and saying how he needs me back, but I'm with Brandon now, and there were always thoughts of Rachel that were creeping into my mind.
"Come on Maya, please." Rachel asked as we were sprawled out on her couch watching whatever garbage was playing. "Let's just go it'll be fun," she pouted and curled her lower lip as I tried not to look into her eyes knowing she'd have me.
"I don't know Rach, it's Matt's house... And everyone will be drunk, I just don't trust him." I said "or myself," I muttered quietly under my breath.
"Come on May, firstly I'm gonna be there and you know I'd never let anything happen to you. And Brandon's going to be there so it's not like he'd let Matt pull anything."
"I know but, well... It's Brandon too." I said with a whisper.
"What? I thought you guys were great?" Rachel said her tone becoming less argumentative and more concerned. Then she became red in the face screaming, "Did he cheat on you? Because if he did I'm going to go beat his ass right now," Rachel said picking up her phone and typing rapidly.
"No- come on Rachel, it's just... Well we've been together for like eight months now, and Ben says that he's expecting..." I sighed looking my best friend in her blue eyes, "Rachel, you know I want to save my virginity until I find someone I really love. I mean someone I would do anything for. And I know it sounds stupid, it must, but I just want it to be special." I replied.
"Aw May, come here." She said scooting over and pulling me in for a hug as a single tear dripped down my face, "Hey," she said whipping away my tears with her fingers and picking up my head "If he only wants sex from you, he's missing the real prize; you..." She said rolling her eyes, "Come on May, , I love you, you know that, you're the best friend I've ever had. And I won't let him near you if he tries to pull anything, just say the word." She said pulling me back in for another hug. And it was in her arms that I really did feel safe.

So I finally got Maya to agree to go to Matt's party with me. I just love everything about her, I love her smile, I love how confident she is, I mean world could be falling apart and she'd hold herself together for everyone else who needed her to be strong. I love how she will always be there for you, whenever you need it. When I was sloppy drunk and I lost my virginity to Max on Halloween last year she was on the phone with me all night. When I thought I was pregnant she came to a gynecologist with me and held my hand the whole time. Really, there's no one who could ever replace her. I'm always so worried about her, she's gorgeous but she doesn't see it, she has no idea that I see it either. I really do love nothing more than her seemingly pin-straight hair and curvy, but athletic body finished with D cup tits. And the thing I love most about her is how she doesn't see the way everyone looks at her - myself included.

Rachel eventually convinced me to go Matt's and we showered and changed. When she came out of the shower she simply dropped her towel, I've seen her naked before, but the effect never goes away; seeing her precious body, and secretly sucking in the air from the room because I feel like I can't breathe, that feeling never stops. With water droplets dripping down her perfectly tanned skin I couldn't keep my eyes off her.
"Hmm, somebody's into my body," Rachel said laughing.
"Oh sorry," I said woken from a daze, "I'm just zoning out," I said dropping my towel as Rachel laughed.
"Ugh it's so unfair you have huge tits May,"
"Shut up Rachel you're gorgeous and you know it, you're just fishing," I said laughing as Rachel sighed and started to get dressed. "So, now that you and Max are done, are you looking for someone new.?
"Eh, I don't know. You know me, my sex drive says yes but I don't want to have to deal with the stress of a relationship right now.

The minute, no, the millisecond I said that I regretted it. Of course I wanted a relationship, of course I wanted something more than just sex, but not from anyone other than her.
"I didn't mean it like that, come on you know what I meant," I said.
"Yeah, I mean. I get why you'd want no strings attached, sometimes you just need a fix."
"I guess I just don't want to put everything into someone who I don't really care about." I replied.
"Yeah... I guess it's that way with me and Brandon. I like him, I mean I do - I wouldn't be fooling around with him if I didn't, but I could never be in love with him or anything."
"Wait, you don't love Brandon?" I said with a little more enthusiasm than I should have.
"Come on Rachel, you know me better than that."
"Yeah, I mean you just seem so happy with him," I investigated.
"I don't know - whatever it doesn't matter. Let's just go,"

SETTING: MATT'S BEDROOM
We got to Matt's house and the first person to come and talk to me was Brandon. "Mm, babe you look goooood, tonight," he said slurring his words and with a drink in his right hand and his left hand starting to grope my ass. He leaned in and kissed me continuing to try to make out with me in front of everyone at the party.
"Come on Brandon save it for later" I said pushing him off me.
"May, you're so uptight, killing me- I'm gonna get you a drink, you need to loosen up," He said nodding at Rachel and walking off.
Rachel looked at me and we both started hysterically laughing. Everything about her laugh, the way her chest rose and fell, and her smile, the brightness in her eyes, well it just made me want her more.
We followed Brandon into the kitchen as he gave both of us drinks and I quickly downed mine but Rachel just sipped it slowly. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Matt and Brett walk towards us.
"May, hey!" Matt practically shouted, coming up and hugging me.
"Hey Matt," I muttered downing another cup that Brandon was refilling.
"Who's your friend?" Brett said winking at me, and I rolled my eyes.
"Rachel- nice to meet you," she said with one of her dazzling smiles.
"Can I get you another drink?" Brett asked
"I'm good," she said
"May?"
"Yeah..." I said as Brett got me another beer and the guys started talking about their basketball game.
