It's not like you don't have enough freckles to begin with. Bring you out to the sun and it'll look like you're one big ginger-skinned person.

I’d say amen, but I get more freckles than tan.

Thank fucking god that it's starting to get hot enough to tan again.

What's the point in taking it back if I still mean it afterward?

A. Stupid. Thing? Take it back Maya. Take it back this instant.

And here I thought you might be a little jealous over it. [she teases] I remember vaguely ending up in Allie's bed with you. Because I didn't really have any other place to go. And I also remember you telling me about this other girl very briefly. And I was happy that by the end of the night, I did get you to spend it with me anyway. I don't think that you understood that I liked you a lot back then. Wasn't willing to admit it because I was so fucked up at that point, but I did. [rolls her eyes and laughs] Broke and jobless girl struggles, definitely. [she takes her glass of champagne and pours more into it, drinking it] Just keep pouring the champagne and that shouldn't be a problem.

Because it turns me on. [chuckles] Obvious? Nothing was obvious for me then. It barely is now. Hey, I wasn’t planning on doing any driving that night. Plus, I’m pretty sure you ended up dragging me along with you somewhere. Didn’t we end up at Allie’s room? Plus, that night I had another damsel in distress to save. I had to manage my time wisely. [laughs] Poor girl struggles? [jokes an downs his champagne glass] Cammon, hurry up, we need to get drunk before we get thee. [says pouring himself another glass and filling hers back up]

Oh, come on. It's not like I wanted to be here much anyway. Prom is such a stupid thing.

Well, it looks like you’re having a miserable time. How can anyone have a miserable time at prom?

[raises an eyebrow at Emma] On my phone. What's it look like?

-Comes in from dancing with Ted, grinning to herself as she sits next to Maya- What are you doing?

[not really enjoying prom all that much, Maya sits at one of the tables on her phone while Ric is in the bathroom, feeling more bored by the moment]

Because why would I want you thinking about me making out with another girl? [raises her eyebrows, chuckling] I appreciate it. It's at least one person on my side. [smiles and leans her head against his shoulder] I thought it was obvious. I mean, you were the one I wanted to come out to me when I just wanted to leave. I was kind of hoping that you would offer me the ride home that night--not call me a cab. [laughs and takes one too] I haven't had good sushi in forever.

And why would you prefer that? [tilts his head playfully] Yeah… there’s plenty of time. Plenty of things that’ll still happen in your life. I believe in you with my whole heart, but only time will tell. [smiles and runs his hand across her hair gently] Glad to hear that. I was already so hopelessly into you back then… it would have made me stupidly happy at the time if you had told me that. [chuckles and grabs another piece of sushi] These are really good.

#c:richard

[maya-jasmine]

I can, too, complain. Maybe I preferred you not imagining me making out with a girl. [smirks at him] Like I said, I've got some time to prove that I won't be a bad mom. Years and years ahead of me before it happens, I hope. [leans into him, smiling softly up at him] Honestly, you were one of the best parts about my prom last year. You made it a lot better of a night.

Hey, you love this perv, you can’t even complain. [nudges her] Just don’t think like that, okay? With me or with any other guy, I don’t believe you’d ever be a bad mother. [kisses her temple softly] I cannot imagine how tonight wouldn’t be good. We always have fun together, even last year we had fun the moment we were together at prom.

#c:richard

[maya-jasmine]

Oh, shut up, perv. [she teases, smirking at him] Yeah, I guess. Besides, that'll be years down the line, regardless, if it happens. Tonight, we just have to focus on having a good night, right?

[looks at the picture for a while and smirks] Very satisfied, indeed. Everything I ever needed, to imagine my already unbelievably hot girlfriend making out with a hot french girl. [laughs] Maya, cammon, remember what you told me when I said distance would probably be the end of our relationship? If you start off thinking about it negatively, it’s certainly less likely that things will turn out fine. So just stop that, okay? We as parents, would we be perfect? No! We’re not perfect, we’re weird and crazy. Would we love our kids more than anything though? Yes, absolutely yes. And I’m sure the best parents aren’t the perfect ones.

[rolls her eyes and goes to her friends on Facebook, typing in the name Mercy Petit and showing him the picture of a very pretty, very tall blonde posing with another blonde who was now her girlfriend] Are you satisfied, you creep? [she passes him back his phone] Ric, you even said yourself that we might not be together. We might not get married and have everything we want right now. And I might end up just as unhappy, just as awful as my parents are. [she sighs, pressing her lips together] Sorry...I shouldn't have brought it up.

[quickly fishes his phone out of his pocket and passes it to her] You can show me now. [smirks playfully at her and kisses her quickly] No. Just no. People change, but there’s things that are just core in someone’s personality and you’d never be like that no matter what happened. You’d never do it… you’re just not like that. Plus, if you need some other kind of reassurance, I’d never let it happen. Never. Because I was never the victim, but rather always the one watching… I have absolutely no doubt that I’d never watch someone be victimized again. [frowns and shakes his hand] We shouldn’t be talking about this. It’s a stupid topic. I don’t want to talk about this.

I was 14 and I was in France. She was the last person I was with before I met the guy that took my virginity. And she's on Facebook. I can show you her later. [leans against him] We say that I wouldn't, but I'm sure my dad never thought he would either. And I'm sure my mom had the same thought. Shit just happens and people go crazy and what if something like that happens to me? I don't want to ruin my own kid's life. [flicks his arm, mocking offense] Nice to know I'd be second choice to Beckham.

How old were you and I want to see a photo of her. [stops tickling her but keeps his arms wrapped around her] You can’t think like that… you’ll never be like your parents. Maya… seriously, you’d never hit your kids. I would bet absolutely everything on that. Because I know you and I know you’d never hurt someone like that… you’re not perfect, you do mistakes, you hurt people sometimes but… it’s not the same thing. When you love someone, you love them unconditionally… and you will do everything to make them as happy as possible. [rolls his eyes] Maya, if Beckham was my boyfriend, I wouldn’t be cheating on him with you.

It was one girl for one month. No sex, just a lot of making out. That was all. She and I still keep in touch, though. [she laughs, swatting his hand away and kissing him quickly] It's not silly to not want kids. Especially the way that I grew up. I don't even speak to my parents anymore other than when they get mail for me at their house or when I remember I left something there. I don't want to be like them, but I know a lot of the time it's inevitable and anger like that is very genetic. [fights back the urge to laugh] I'm sorry, did I just insult your boyfriend?

Uh, uh, uh… yes, you are. I want details. Pleaseeee… [holds her close to him, tickling her side playfully] My ego never fools me, he is a very truthful lad. [laughs] That’s silly, don’t say that. Obviously, we’re too young now, I definitely don’t want a kid myself right now, nor in 5 years time and probably in 10 years time I’ll still be doubtful about that, but I have no doubts that when we grow up, we might want kids and we’ll definitely be amazing parents because we’ll love them more than anything in the world. [smiles softly and traces her cheek playfully] Parenthood is not that difficult, the parents just have to love each other and their kids… problem is that that doesn’t often happen. [gasps stupidly] David Beckham will never be unattractive!!

[maya-jasmine]

I am not going to tell you about my gay escapades in France. Uh uh, no way. [she laughs, shaking her head] It does. Don't let your ego fool you. [she smirks, tilting her head as he kisses her neck] I just...don't think I want them. The scare was enough to make me realize that I'm obviously not going to be ready anytime soon for them. I'm immature and I want France right now, I guess. Plus all that stuff that happened with my parents--you never know... Like I said, though, I might change my mind. [scoffs] Ugh, shut up. No one is hot and sexy forever. You wait. David Beckham even will get old and gross someday, too.

Oh, you did? Please, do tell me about it, since Allie made it very clear that she wasn’t going to fight you in the mud. [shrugs] You know what’s funny? I don’t think it does. [pulls her close to him and starts kissing her neck playfully] Rethink the whole kids scenario? In what way? Me? Old and flabby? Please, I’ll be like Beckham! Hot and sexy forever, with my abs all toned. You’ll absolutely still be licking things off my abs. [winks]

[maya-jasmine]

I do like you, but I am just not attracted to girls. I went through that phase already. [smirks, rolling her eyes] Every time that you do exploit my weaknesses, my love for you grows a little less. Just remember that. [she chuckles, leaning back in her seat and taking another sip of champagne] You know, funnily enough, that scare has made me rethink the whole kids scenario. Fair warning. I'll probably end up changing my mind someday, but I'm too scared of screwing them up. Either way, if I became a grandmother by some chance, I'd be the most badass grandmother ever. They would laugh at you behind your back because you're old and flabby.

Oh, is that so? Wouldn’t you enjoy me if I had boobs and a vagina? I thought you liked me more than my dick. [laughs and puts another piece of sushi in his mouth] I will always exploit your moments of weakness, they are not exactly common. [smiles, lazily sucking the soy sauce off his fingers] We can have everything. Who knows where life will take us? We might be old one day and full of wrinkles and children and grandchildren and one day you might realize our teenage grandson looks exactly like me when I was younger and you go and find the pictures from prom to prove it. [starts laughing] Oh my God, I just cannot imagine  you as a grandmother at all.

#c:richard

[maya-jasmine]

You're lucky that you don't have the female anatomy or else we might not be a thing right now. [rolls her eyes, pretending to glare at him before taking a bite of the sushi] Ugh, shut up. It was a moment of weakness. [smiles softly, taking another sip of her champagne] We'll have each other and the goofy pictures to look back on and laugh at in the future.

Bla bla bla, yeah. And I’m a girl part-time, so don’t worry, we can switch roles. [chuckles] Aw, cute that you are admit that so early. [leans towards her and kisses her shoulder softly] Hey, as lame as prom can be, tonight is going to be fun because we’re going to be there together. As simple as that. And when I’m in England and you’re in France, either we’re together or not - but we’ll be - this will be a memory frozen in time. Us. Here. Tonight.
