Hazal Filiz Küçükköse 10 Days of a Bad Man (Kötü Adamın 10 Günü)

based on a true story 

an almost unabashedly excited smile slips onto his lips as maya comes up to him, a shrug rolling off of his shoulders, "what can i say? dom's got good taste in friends. and i'm just too nice to leave him." he teases, eyes flicking over maya in a way that he hopes isn't obvious. she looks so incredible, he's tempted to say so, but decides he'll wait a bit. maybe after a drink. or two. it's been so long since he's seen her. he was almost nervous for tonight. to see her again. years ago, when they'd met, dom would have absolutely killed him for thinking his sister was pretty. but now? dominic is distracted and dj is determined to spend time with his little sister. it was wedding week, anything could happen. dj slides his hands in his pockets, moving closer to maya, "excited for the wedding? sister of the groom seems pretty damn important too. you should've been best woman alongside me." it would have been a very good excuse to spend more time together at the very least. "all this responsibility, i could've used an assistant."

& STARTER FOR @gvardrail !!!

" i heard you got roped into best man duty , " maya greets dj , acting like she hasn't been spending the last hour ( and 3 glasses of wine ) trying to think about what to say to her brother's best friend . the same best friend she hasn't seen in about a decade . the same best friend she used to write MAYA BOWEN in hearts all over her stupid journals . that was a long time ago , she tries to tell herself . she's not that younger sister anymore . they've all gotten together a week early to celebrate her older brother , dominic's , engagement and wedding , for christ's sake . who could have ever seen THAT coming ? THEY'VE ALL CHANGED . she tells herself that again . then once more , just as her eyes slide over the close proximity between her and DJ . unfortunately , he's just as good looking as he remembers . hell , maybe even more good looking . FUCK NO , MAYA , she curses herself inwardly . she's an adult . she's a grownup. she does not get crushes on cute boys . she does not . she is cool , calm and collected now . maya chews the inside of her cheek , then awkwardly grins at him . " i'm more shocked that you've stayed friends with dom for this long . "
