the red lady.

I'd never ask you out, Randy so don't even count on it. But you are fun to have around. I laugh at your jokes. Someone got to do it, right? Maria somewhat smiled, trying not to sound too arrogant or even cocky towards Orton. To most, she was the cute girl, the nice one but Maria also had a temper if someone pushed her buttons. But she knew she had to tread lightly with Randy around. He was unpredictable and that scared Maria to a certain extend. The red haired was always on the edge of her seat when Randy was in the room. Maybe deep down, she was just trying to hide that she did find him interesting. "Ready to go? I'm glad you put on a shirt. I don't want screaming woman screaming next to my ears." She winked, possibly being suggestive with her comment but Maria turned around, not giving Randy much time to properly analyze her behaviour.

All this years wondering if she'd ever find true love again were all a waste when the man of her dreams was Phil all along. Even when they separated, Maria knew he was the one no matter what. Sooner or later, their paths would cross again and this time, it'd be forever. The news of a baby was proof of that. Maria hugged the father of her baby and kissed his scruffy kiss, trying not to burst into tears. But Maria kept her emotions in check and smiled, green eyes sparkling with the happiness she felt. "You mean everything to me and I couldn't be happier. This is the best day of my life. Until the baby is born, though." Maria chuckled, not used to the word baby coming out of her mouth this often. "Everything is so surreal and it all feels like a dream. We deserve this, Phil. We deserve this blessing..." Getting pregnant was never in their plans. They took risks but Maria always felt like they had things under control. But now she was carrying Phil's first born and despite not being planned, she was more than happy. Maria couldn't stop smiling and she knew Phil was as happy as her. "My mom is going to be so excited! She loves you more than I do, you know?"
