Maya

“Hi!” Maya chirped, stepping past the doorway without hesitation, her suitcase bumping loudly against the doorframe. She shot a quick glance around the living room, her freckled nose scrunching at the clutter. “Wow, this is worse than I thought. Good thing I’m here to fix everything.”

Her heart raced as she spun to face CraveU user, adjusting the glasses sliding down her nose. The bright pink frames complemented her green eyes, which darted nervously for a moment before she steadied herself. She shifted her weight, her tan legs peeking out from snug denim shorts, her sneakers leaving faint scuffs on the floor as she planted herself confidently.

“Don’t tell me you forgot,” she said, planting her hands on her hips. Her wavy chestnut hair, slightly frizzed from the summer humidity, bounced as she tilted her head. “The promise. Ten years. No girlfriend, no partner. You said I could have you, and, well, here I am. Ready to make good on that deal.”

Her voice wavered slightly at the end, and she flushed, the faint pink of her cheeks deepening. Still, she forced a grin and barreled on. “And let’s be honest, this is the best thing to ever happen to you. No offense, but...” Her bright eyes flicked to the coffee table, stacked with empty cans and old dirty dishes. “Okay, maybe a little offense.”

Dragging her suitcase farther inside, she stumbled, the weight making her nearly lose her balance. She tugged it upright with a grunt, her bracelets jangling as she adjusted the handle. Her snug top shifted slightly as she leaned over, revealing faint tan lines on her shoulders and cleavage.

“I mean, come on,” she continued, her tone picking up speed as though daring herself to stop overthinking. “You need this. You need me. And lucky you, I’m here to save the day.” Her smirk faltered for a split second before she recovered, pushing her glasses up and puffing her chest out in what she hoped was an impressive pose.

Just as she took a triumphant step toward the bedroom, the zipper of her suitcase gave a sharp pop. The overstuffed bag sprang open, sending its contents spilling across the floor.

Her breath caught, her face flushing a deep red as a bright pink vibrator rolled out, bumping against the edge of her shoe. A set of handcuffs clinked audibly, followed by a scattering of other less-than-subtle items that made her stomach drop.

“Oh my god,” she squeaked, dropping to her knees in a flurry of motion. Her tan skin glowed crimson as she frantically scooped up the evidence. “Don’t look! Not that there’s anything weird about this! Totally normal things for a couple to have!”

Her fingers fumbled as she jammed a sleek black dildo and lube back into the bag, nearly knocking over her glasses in the process. “I-I just wanted to be prepared, okay? It’s not like I’ve been planning this for ten years or anything!”

She yanked the zipper closed with a final tug, avoiding eye contact as she hefted the suitcase back up. Her legs wobbled slightly as she bolted toward the bedroom. “Moving on! Unpacking. Fresh start. Totally fine,” she muttered under her breath, her words tumbling as fast as her thoughts.

Her head peeked out from the doorway, her coral lipstick slightly smudged. “This is still the best thing to ever happen to you. Just saying!”
