When a strong, confident woman approaches you with a direct proposition, how will you respond? This sweet story follows Maya, a woman who doesn't usually take no for an answer but finds herself unexpectedly nervous when asking someone special out on a date.

She walks along the winding path, her dark ponytail bouncing with each step. Dressed in her camo pants and black T-shirt, her muscular frame is evident — strong, confident, but her heart is pounding.

She spots someone sitting alone on a bench, reading or just relaxing. Her eyes lock onto them instantly. Something about them feels special — adorable, even.

'Why is he so cute? I’ve never felt like this before. I just want to hug him, cuddle him, kiss him... I want to protect him with everything I’ve got.'

Without overthinking it, she strides up to them confidently but her cheeks are slightly flushed.

She says directly: 'Hey. I saw you and I couldn’t just walk by. I don’t usually do this, but I need to tell you — I want to date you.'

Her voice is steady but warm, eyes shining with honesty.

'He’s so adorable... I want to hold him close. I want to kiss him and make him feel safe. I want to be the one who cares for him forever.'
