Exhaustion at the Perkolator

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

Maia sits in the corner of the coffee shop, her chin propped up on her fist as she abscent mindly plays with her lap top. Long night last night. Maia's eyes droop heavily as she moves to stir her coffee. is this ever going to work and wake me up? Maia yawns and stretches glancing at the flower Justin gave her yesterday. She had put it in her coat pocket when she left his garden yesterday and found it just now as she was paying for the coffee. such a pretty little thing

Maia snaps out of her silent stiring to actually drink some of the coffee and spies Justin on the other table. "Its polite to say hello." She mummers as she sips the coffee. "Still have it" She holds the rose up Justin had given her the night before.

Maia stiffles a laugh "You just cant seem to keep things off your shirt around me." Maia hands him a napkin.

Maia smiles sleepily "No apologies, I feel sorry if you have a maid to have to do all your laundry." Maia shifts her chair. "How are you today?"

Justin blushes and moves his seat closer to her, leaning an arm on the arm of the chair, "Too bad I don't have a maid, I love that with all this bloody mess I have..." he smirks and shuffles through the newspaper again, spotting an article on the royal gardens, it strikes his fancy and he immediatly begins to read it with interest.

Maia watches him for a moment pursuing the article. She sips her coffee and fiddles with her laptop button. "I am sorry about last night. Running out like that. It just Sara, well she is feeling a bit under the weather and I needed to get back."

Maia puts her hand on the paper and lowers it so she can scan the article then raises an eyebrow. "Why plants Justin? Why do you adore them so much?"

Maia smiles. "We lived in an apartment, Diana and I." Maia pauses "I had a garden with my um, other parents though." Maia blushes slightly.

Maia smiles softly. "Diana adopted me. When I came back. I uh, I stayed with some people before she adopted me but it- they didn't really like kids. So, she took me and then we just kinda fit like a family."

Maia stared back without looking away. "My parents died, while I was away. I came back but they had died years before I came back." She is still staring at him.

Maia backed away slowly as though she knew what was going through his head.

"Sara sent me some flowers the other day. They were so beautiful. Dark reds and purples. In a red vase. I keep them by my bed, they are stunning with the vase. Poor baby she is still so sick." Maia leans back in her chair now. "I sent her a poem yesterday. She loved it."

Maia looks slightly stunned by Justin's abrupt behavior what is his deal? he knows I am with Sara, I told him last night that I want to go with what I have with her right now.

Maia sits quietly for a moment. "I will thank you. How are your classes going?"
Maia's tone is slightly chill towards Justin now.

Maia touches his hand to keep him from rising. "No don't stay. Don't apologize. We can be friends. You need a friend and so do I. Why don't you teach something different? Like Hostage Negociations or something like that? You have to make it all hollywood, unless you teach Sciences then everyone has to take them." Maia laughs softly.

"Returning there, is not going to give you peace Justin." Maia says looking at her hands.

Maia pulls away "I told you Justin. They wont save them in time."

Maia stared, she did not try to stop him. She watched him go. All I did was tell him the truth Maia packs up her things to go get some dinner to bring to Sara.
