Trouble In Paradise?

"Did you see this?"

Josh looked over frowning at the tone in Andrew's voice and wondering what in the world he could be looking at and raising an eyebrow at him for before looking at the screen. He swallowed as he felt the anger run through his body as he watched another guy feed his blindfolded wife with her trying to figure out what it was. He knew it was innocent on her part but the way the guy was looking at his wife and the gesture he did to the camera while she couldn't see made the anger start to boil inside of him, especially knowing the two have been hanging out filming videos the past two days.

Josh clenched his jaw and looked away from the screen. He didn't need to see anymore. He tried to play it as cool as he could as he calmly gathered his books. "I need to go," he told Andrew and Jasmine before he was out the door as fast as he could. Josh rushed into his apartment and was ready to rush up the stairs to his bedroom where his wife was but stopped himself and made himself take a couple of deep breaths before walking up the spiral stairs to the bedroom.

"Hey," Maya smiled at the sight of her husband as she laid on their bed, editing a video while watching a random television show.

"Did you watch the video that Jake guy posted of you two today?" Josh asked, getting straight to point as he tried to keep his anger from exploding.

Maya frowned. "No, why? What's wrong?" she asked, immediately picking up something was wrong.

"It was inappropriate. That's what is wrong!"

Maya shook her head, "Josh, it's a tag that everyone is doing-"

"The gestures he was doing to the camera while you had the blindfold over your eyes was inappropriate and as your husband," Josh snapped, gesturing to himself as he spoke to her. "I didn't appreciate them. You're a married woman and he doesn't respect that."

Maya wasn't sure what gesture Josh was talking about as she has yet to watched the video herself and was surprised Jake posted it so quick but knew she needed to reassure Josh that Jake was just kidding around. "Josh, you are overreacting-"

"I'm overreacting?"

"Yes. He has a girlfriend and he knows I'm married. You can't take what he was doing seriously. It's the way he jokes around."

Josh shook his head, "He may have girlfriend but obviously doesn't respect their relationship."

Maya was taken aback. "So are you saying I don't respect our marriage?"

"Before I watched that video," Josh yelled, pointing in the direction of her MacBook. "I would have said yes but after watching that video and you trying to blow it off like it's noting. I don't know anymore," he confessed, breaking Maya's heart. "I thought we were on the same page but obviously were not."

"Josh," Maya sighed, hurt. "We are on the same page," she promised. "He is just some big YouTuber that I'm collaborating with that's going to bring new and exciting things to my channel. That's it."

Josh shook his head again, licking his lips before pressing them together. "I don't trust him, Maya. I see the way he looked at you. I know he isn't the only guy who looks at you like that and as much as I hate it but I get it. I'm not stupid. I have eyes and I know how gorgeous and stunning you are and it would be dumb of me to think other guys aren't going to look at you but you shouldn't trust him. He knows you're married but yet is okay with making those gestures towards you and the camera while you are blindfolded and I don't understand how you are okay with collaborating with someone like him."

"What are you doing?" Maya asked as she watched Josh grab his pillow and a blanket and walk towards the stairs.

"I'm sleeping on the couch."

"Josh," Maya gasped, shocked and hurt.

"Maya, I can't, right now," Josh shook his head. "I love you and I've always supported you and your YouTube career but I don't support you continuing to make videos with this Jake guy. I don't care how many views and subscribers and opportunities you gain because of it. I don't support it."

Maya watched, stun, as her husband walked away from her. She swallowed, hating but knowing she needed to give him some space to cool down and once he saw it from her perspective he would see it was a good career move on her part.

XOXOXO

Maya knocked the blanket off of her after a restless night of sleep. She quickly got of bed wanting to talk to Josh and make things better before the two began their day. Her heart sunk at the empty couch, knowing Josh woke up early and left before she woke up. She looked over at the clock on the wall and knew she needed to start getting ready because Jake would be coming over in like an hour. She sent Josh a text before hurrying to get ready for her day and before she knew Jake was standing in the middle of her living room.

Jake looked over at the pillow and blanket on the couch. "Trouble in paradise?"

Maya swallowed, "No, my husband and I fell asleep watching a movie," she lied, knowing it was none of Jake's business what was happening between her and Josh even if he was part of the cause.

Jake nodded with a slight smirk before looking over at the blonde. "You look beautiful."

"Thanks," Maya said with an uneasy smile as she saw the look he was giving her, seeing the look that made her husband not want to sleep in the same bed as her last night.

"So what special plans do you have planned for us today?" he asked, walking over to stand closer to her.

"I just thought we could do a few tourist things since you wanted to film a vlog," Maya shrugged, taking a step off to the side to put some space between them.

"Sounds like a plan," he grinned. "I think we should starts this off with a bang. A surprise. Give the viewers what they want."

Maya looked over at Jake questionably as she watched as he whipped his camera out and instantly started to talk into it. "Look who's back with me again," he said into the camera before stepping next to her and aiming the camera at her before tossing an arm around her shoulder and pulling her close as she forced a smile, trying to pretend she wasn't uncomfortable. "We have a huge surprise for you guys," he grinned before his hand went to the back of her head to guide his lips to her's.

Maya put her hand over her face before his lips could touch her's, pushing him away from her. "What the hell do you think you are doing?"

"I just thought..." Jake began, pointing the camera down to the ground.

Maya shook her head, her eyes wide as she back away from him.

"I thought we had a connection."

"A connection?" Maya asked in disbelief.

"Yea, I felt the spark between the two of us and don't tell me you didn't feel it too because I know you did. We've had fun hanging out the past few days and filming videos."

Maya frantically shook her head, "What?" she snapped, astound. "No! I didn't feel a spark between the two of us! We hung out as friends and just friends. That's it. I'm married-"

"Come on, Maya," he started, walking towards her as she stepped back away from him. "I know how it works. Pretend you are all happy and in love in front of the cameras to get the views and comments about being #relationshipgoals but I know how that goes once the cameras are off. I have a "girlfriend" and for someone who has a husband he has been nowhere to be seen."

Maya shook her head again, walking over to open her apartment door, "I don't know about you and your girlfriend when the cameras are off but I am happily married on and off camera and right now you're lucky my husband isn't around. I love Josh and our marriage isn't for a show. It's real. Now get out of my apartment."

Jake sighed, shaking his head as he walked over to stand in front of her. "You're going to regret this. I could have put you and your YouTube channel on a new level."

Maya shook her head, not caring a second. "No, I'm not. My husband and our marriage comes before anything including my YouTube career. I can get a new career if I have to but my husband is one of kind. Now get out," she told him.

She watched him go before slamming the door behind him.

XOXOXO

Maya sat in the dark at her part of the desk finally watching the video that made Josh so upset with her. She felt her stomach turn at some of the gesture Jake was doing towards her while she was wearing the blindfold. It sickened her to read some of the comments saying they would be an adorable couple and the two were definitely hooking up while others called her out saying she wasn't being faithful to Josh. She shook her head wondering how she could have been so stupid. She should have watched the video and she would have saved herself the trouble and having a night sleeping without her husband in bed next to her. She knew Josh wouldn't be upset unless it was something to be upset about and this was. He was right and had every right to be upset at her.

She turned in her chair when she heard their apartment door open. She blinked her eyes as the lights switched on. When her eyes adjusted, she saw Josh stop in place surprised to see her home. Both remaining quiet with their eyes locked on each other.

"I didn't expect you to be here," he broke the silence, tossing his keys and wallet on the bar that divide their kitchen and living room. "I thought you would still be out filming with Jake," he continued bitterly.

Maya barely nodded, swallowing.

Once Josh instantly picked up something was wrong his demeanor changed and he quickly walked towards her. "Are you okay?" he asked, kneeling down in front of her, his hands resting on her thighs as he looked her in the eyes.

Maya bit her lip, staring into her husband's beautiful blue eyes. "You were right," she told him softly. "I should have listened to you. You had every right to be upset. I got so caught up in gaining subscribers and opportunities that I shrugged your concern off to the side and that was so wrong of me."

"Maya," Josh sighed.

Maya sharply shook her head, cutting him off, "You were right," she told him again. "Jake is a pig. He tried to kiss me," she told him, making Josh's eyes go wide with anger. "I stopped him," she tried to ease his anger. "My hand blocked his lips before they could touch mine and then he gave me some bullshit about how his relationship is all for the camera and views and assumed mine and your relationship was the same. He thought I was lying about our marriage for views."

Josh deep swallowed, as he would like nothing more than to go and find the Jake guy instead chose to put that off to side and focus on his wife, "Maya, it's okay. We know the truth."

"I just wonder if some of my subscribers feel the same because anyone who knows me-us, knows this is real. This is our real lives. Josh, as much as I love doing YouTube I would give it up in a heartbeat for you. I love you more than I love anything."

Josh nodded, taking her hands into his, "I love you too," he told her gently. "And I would never ask you to give up something you love," he eased. "And it doesn't matter what some of them think. You have to ignore the hate because if you don't it's going to get to you. We know our love is real."

Maya nodded her own head, knowing he was right.

"I shouldn't have slept on the couch or left before we could talk this morning. It was wrong of me and I'm sorry. I was just upset about the video and Andrew showing it to me and not expecting to see what I saw but I shouldn't have taken it out on you because like you I know our love and I love you more than anything."

Maya smiled, getting down to kneel on the ground in front of him, and throwing herself into his arms before placing a long kiss on his mouth.

"I love you," Josh told her again, wrapping his arms around her to lift her up with him as he stood up and she wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms tighter, staying as close to him as she could.

"I love you too," she murmured back. "Should we go and make up for last night-" she grinned against his lips.

"You know me so well. It's like you read my mind."
