My fiance’s name is Maya. Shes a model who acts,though shes a little stiff in her movements.shes got a hot box, has smooth skin, and she renders me speechless. while on her way to a script reading one day, she almost crashed.. luckily, i saved her. shes a bit primitive, and sometimes i think shes hollow inside, but when the light hits her face at the right angle, you can see her true colors; shes just skin and bones like everyone else, looking to work her way on to the big screen.
