So real quick, I want to say that this is a rewrite. Hopefully some of you read the original, which if you want to, its still on my profile. I decided to rewrite WTL because when I was looking through it after a bit of a hiatus, I realized how rushed everything was, so I'm going to attempt to write this a bit better. Please, if you read the original, please let me know how its going. Some of the story pieces will be similar. Thank you!
"So, what are you looking for in a boat?" Maui asked a couple who had just walked into the office. "Well, we were looking for something that we could take out for the day with the kids," the lady said. "Well, if you two want to follow me, we can start looking at some options," he said, flashing them a smile before heading out to the dock. The three of them walked towards the sailboats. "Sailboats are great for families, especially the larger ones because there's usually a kitchenette underneath and a small sitting area," he said stopping at a boat. "Do you have a boat?" the husband asked. "I do. I actually live on a fairly large sailboat. It has a a bedroom, bathroom, living room and a full kitchen," Maui said, "Right here is a basically a smaller version of what I have. It has a sitting room, bathroom, and a kitchenette." The couple smiled and climbed on to the boat and looked around. "Hey Maui!" the husband yelled after about 10 minuets of them looking around, "I think we're going to get it!" "Amazing! We'll go start the paperwork in my office," Maui said.
"Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Stacks! I will call you as soon as your boat comes in!" Maui said to the leaving couple. He headed back inside to his office. He sat down at his desk and began to straighten up some paperwork. "Maui! I heard you got another sale today!" a middle aged man said, standing in Maui's doorway. "Yep, another sailboat."
"I swear, that is all you sell."
"I guess its easy when you live on one."
"Probably, I'm still surprised Mary agreed to move in on the boat with you. Speaking of,the misses and I are throwing an end of summer party next weekend, you two should come."
"I'll talk to her about it."
"Alright, I'll email the details to you tomorrow. I'll see you tomorrow Maui, have a nice night."
"You too Bob."
Bob left the doorway and Maui looked down at a picture on his desk of him and a petite, blonde girl kissing his cheek. His phone vibrated and he sighed. He pulled his phone out of his pocket to see a text from Mary. 'Can you pick up a chicken for dinner? Luv you!' 'Sure, leaving work now'
"Mom, I know where everything is. Yes, I know where my apartment is. Yes, Ali knows where it is too. Yes, I know how to get to campus from the apartment. Please stop worrying. Love you too, bye." Mo hung up the phone and pulled into the parking lot of her apartment. She looked at the building and smiled. Her phone rang and the name Ali flashed up on the screen. "Hey Ali," Mo answered. 'Hey Mo, where you at?'
"I just pulled in front of the building, where are you?"
'I'm upstairs, I''m headed down, I'll help you bring stuff in' They hung up the phone and Mo got out of her car and started unloading stuff. A few moments later, a tall blonde girl came out of the building and walked up. "Momo!" she exclaimed, throwing her arms up for a hug. "Hey Ali," Mo laughed, hugging her. The caught up as hey unpacked boxes and stuff from Mo's car and soon, everything was in the apartment. Their apartment was a decent sized two bedroom loft near the University of Honolulu "Now that that's done, we need to go stock the fridge!" Ali said, pulling Mo's arm. "Chill Girl! I just got here! I haven't even seen my room yet!"
"It's empty except for your bed, you're welcome by the way."
"Thank you, Ali, for being here when my bed was delivered," Mo said, semi-sarcastically.
"Come on, I'm hungry! We need food!"
"Fine, lets go, I'll drive," Mo said, pulling her keys out of her purse and turning to the door.
They drove to the same grocery store they had been shopping at for the last two years. "Go ahead and start grabbing stuff, I need to use the restroom," Ali said, as soon as they got there. "Fine, you're the one who wanted to do this though," Mo sighed jokingly. They both got out of the car and went their separate ways.
Maui pulled up to the grocery store and walked inside. He wondered around the store, not wanting to go home yet. He took his time, walking through every isle, stopping to look at stuff from time to time. He turned the corner to the next isle and crashed right into another person, knocking them over. "I'm so sorry," he said, bending down the help up the girl that was now on the floor. She took his hand and began to stand up. "It's alright, I'm good," she said, looking up and smiling at him. Their eyes met and they both froze for a moment, her hand still in his. All of the color drained from Maui's face.
