Chapter 2.4:
Midnight Memories
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

Maya had finally calmed down. She locked herself in her hotel room, turned on the tv, and grabbed a bag of popcorn.

"This entire fuckin' trip is bullshit. I swear. Haven't seen Richie in fuckin'.. I dunno.. years. And this is how it goes? Bullshit." Maya muttered to herself, flipping the channel to the bachelor.

"These guys all look the same.." Maya mumbled, shoving popcorn into her mouth. "Not even hot."

A knock at the door interrupted her viewing. Maya groaned, set the bowl of popcorn aside. She stood and walked, not very far, to the door.

"Beverly?" Maya's brows furrowed, while her blue eyes softened at the redheaded woman. "Hah.. Hi."

Beverly laughed, "Wow, after all these years, I can still make you weak in the knees, huh?"

Maya blushed, rolling her eyes, "Oh, whatever. If I recall, I could do that to you to, couldn't I?"

Beverly shrugged with a laugh, "A simple look could do that."

"Oh, sorry! I'm so rude, eesh. Do you wanna come in?"

Beverly laughed, "You haven't changed a bit, have you?"

Maya scoffed, rolling her eyes. "I have, to changed!"

Beverly stepped into the small hotel room, taking it in. It looked different than hers, but the same.

"Richie looked really hurt after you left, y'know." Beverly commented, sitting herself on the bed.

Maya frowned, "He, uh, he knows I didn't mean any of the stuff I said, right?"

"You should tell him that before he leaves."

Maya nodded, now suddenly feeling incredibly guilty for the things she's said to him. She never meant any of it. It just came out when she heard Richie say those things about Stan.

"I know you already said you didn't but.. I gotta know, did you actually suck his dick at prom?"

Maya gasped loudly, "Oh my God, no!"

"Well then what happened?"

"Nothing! We just sat in the bathroom stall eating cake and talking after my date ditched me." Maya explained, leaving out a part.

"And that's it?" Beverly looked shocked, "He made it sound so believable.."

"Not exactly.." Maya muttered, hoping Beverly hadn't heard her.

"Holy shit. Maya, spill."

"It was just a stupid kiss! We were both drunk out of our minds, trying to forget something.. or someone.." Maya   finally broke, "It didn't mean anything to either of us and we haven't talked about it since."

Beverly's eyes widened as she cleared her throat, unable to help the feeling of the little green monster creeping up her spine. Though, she shook this feeling off as she changed the subject.

"Is that wine?" Maya nodded, leaning over and grabbing the bottle.

"Want some?"

Beverly nodded, so Maya got up and poured her a glass.

By the end of the hour, Maya and Beverly were drunk, reminiscing about their childhoods.

"And that time with the quarry? The summer of '90 when you came to visit.. it was just you and me."

Beverly gasped, rolling over, to face Maya. "You remember that?"

"Of course, I do!"

"We kissed all day.."

"And cuddled while we watched that meteor shower."

Beverly giggled as Maya showed her the handstand she could do underwater. Mariah Carey played over the boombox on a rock over the shore.

"How was that?" Maya breathed, wiping hair out of her face.

"So good!" Beverly clapped, a bright smile on her face.

Beverly looked beautiful. Her now chin length red hair clung to her face. Droplets of water covered her body, making it seem as if she was sparkling due to the setting sun.

Maya swam forward, sliding her arms around the redheaded girl.

"You look so fucking beautiful right now." Maya mumbled, her hands tracing hearts on Beverly's neck.

Goosebumps covered Beverly's skin. Giggles left her lips as she raised her hand to caress Maya's cheek.

"You're so perfect." Beverly sighed out, breathily.

Maya smiled and pulled Beverly closer to her.

She pressed her lips gently against Beverly's. Electricity shot up both girl's spines, and for a moment. Everything was perfect.

"It felt like it was just us that night.." Beverly nodded, "None of the boys making jokes. Especially Richie."

"That dork's lesbian jokes got worse every time.." Maya sighed, flipping the light off as she pulled the covers over herself.

Beverly's shoulders shook with her laughter, "And do you remember when we stole your dads alchohol and snuck up to the roof? It was that same summer."

"Yes! He was so mad when he found out. I was grounded for like three weeks."

"Sh! Sh!" Maya tried to calm Beverly's giggles, but she failed. "Bev. Shut the hell up or my dad'll wake up!"

Beverly covered her mouth, trying to silence her laughter, "Sorry, sorry, okay, I'm do-done!"

Maya crawled out the window, a bottle tequila in hand. She squated and helped Beverly out of the window.

Giggles flooded out of their mouths as they sat on the roof.

Maya unscrewed the bottle, cursing when she dropped the lid. "Well, shit."

Maya took a swig of alchohol, wincing as the liquid burned her throat.

She passed the bottle over to Beverly, who had the same reaction. Fits of giggles left the girl's lips.

"Holy shit! Are we drunk already?" Beverly slurred, giggling as quiet as she be.

"Woah, that's a bright star.."

"The wishing star." Beverly confirmed.

"I wish for us to be together forever."

Maya gasped, "Oh my gosh! That's so sweet!"

Maya pulled Beverly closer to her, connecting their lips.

Fireworks went off as Beverly pulled Maya closer. She started trailing wet kisses down Maya's neck, causing shivers to rack her body.

Maya whimpered when Beverly bit down, causing Beverly to smirk.

"You're so perfect, Beverly."

Maya yawned as she pulled the covers closer to her, she could feel herself dozing off.

Beverly saw this, and began getting up to leave.

"Wait! Uh, do.. you wanna stay?"

Beverly felt herself blush, "Uh, yeah, sure."

Maya smiled drunkenly, lifting the covers so Beverly could slip in.

Beverly awkwardly laid herself down next to Maya, staying to herself as she didn't want to upset the woman.

"Goodnight, Maya." Beverly whispered, glancing briefly at the tired woman beside her.

"Mm.. night, Bev."
