A/N:Hey guys, I'm back. I missed writing and I found some free time and I thought it would be great to post again. This is a sequel to my first story "Loving you was never a mistake." If you haven't read it, you should, it's really good and if you have, I hope you liked it enough to read the sequel as well. I really hope you'll enjoy the story. So let's get started.
Maya Hart was walking down the streets of Florence, Italy. It's been three years since she came to Italy for the first time and she still felt as mesmerized with the city as the first time she saw it. She was in her third year of art studies and she had her first art show last month. Her mother and her step dad came all the way from New York. Her best friends Riley, Lucas and Farkle came too. And Cory and Topanga wouldn't miss it for the world either. Maya and Josh lived together all this time. He graduated business school and got his masters degree. He just started his new job at a local firm. Both him and Maya learned italian. They still went back to New York during holidays and summer. Katy and Shawn visited every two month. Maya felt like she had the best of both world. Her life couldn't be more perfect. Maya stopped by the gelateria a block from her apartment to get her and Josh their favorite ice cream. Josh was coming home early from work today and they were suppose to spend the whole afternoon together. She opened the door and Josh greeted her with a smile.
"There's my beautiful fiancé." He walked towards her and kissed her.
"She comes bearing gifts." She showed him the carton box filled with ice cream.
"God I love you." He said, still looking at the ice cream.
"I love you too." He said to Maya.
Maya smiled and they kissed again.
"I packed the bags. We are all good to go." Josh said and dove in to the ice cream.
"You are amazing." Maya said as she changed her clothes in the other room. "I can't wait to see everyone back home."
"I can't believe we are going back for Riley's wedding." Josh said.
"I can't believe they are getting married a year after their engagement." Maya walked back into the room.
"I can't believe they are getting married before us. I don't know how we didn't see that one coming." Josh was still surprised.
"Lucas is one lucky guy." Maya took a bite out of the ice cream.
"I can't wait for you to finish college so that we can get married." Josh said lovingly.
"Look around. We're basically already married." Maya joked.
"We lived together for three years and we made it out alive. We are going to nail this marriage thing." Josh said and raised his hand.
"We are going to be the best married couple in the history of marriage." Maya said and high-fived him.
"When does the plain leave?" Maya asked with ice cream in her mouth.
"I am not sure, around 4 in the morning. Which means we have to get up around 1 and be at the airport by 2." Josh set the plan. Maya took the air plane ticket that was on the table next to her and looked at the time and date.
"Honey." She said with a calm voice. "Our plain leaves at 4 p.m."
Josh lifted his eyes from the ice-cream and looked at her with his eyes wide open.
"We have an hour until the plain leaves." Maya said and they both jumped up to grab their suitcases and anything else they might need before they rushed to the airport.

"I hate flying." Josh said anxiously as their plane took off. They barely made it in time. Maya took his hand in hers to calm him down.
"It's going to be fine. We've done it already." She said.
"It's a nine hour flight. It never gets better." Josh's body tensed up as the plain slightly shook. Maya held back the laughter.
"It's not funny." Josh exclaimed.
"I know. I am so sorry." She leaned towards him and kissed him. It was a long and passionate kiss. When she pulled away she asked: "Does that make it better?"
"A little." Josh said more relaxed.
"Give me your phone. I want to take a bunch of pictures of the sky.
"What's wrong with your phone?" He asked.
"My battery is dead. Because I thought I'll have time to charge it after class, but someone mixed up the time of our flight." Maya said in her teasing voice.
Josh handed her his phone in defeat. Maya turned on the camera and shot a couple of pictures.
-It is not my fault. You are the one you trusted me with the tickets. – Josh defended himself.
Maya turned away from the window and looked him in the eyes.
-You're right. It was really dumb of me. – Maya continued in a playful tone. She leaned in and whispered in his ear. – You should probably punish me when we land in New York.
Josh smiled widely. He whispered in her ear: "Why wait till New York?"
-We are not having sex in an airplane bathroom. – Maya shot down his fantasy.
-Why not? – Josh protested. – They know what you do in there, that's why they built it. It's practically a rule that you have to do it once in your life.
-Honestly, with the amount of flying we did in the past three years I am surprised we never did it in there before.
-Right? We are committing a crime against frequent fliers established since the time when the first plain was invented. – Josh said.
"I'll do it if you stop talking about it." Maya finally agreed.
Josh unbuckled his seatbelt and rushed to the bathroom.
"You are not afraid of flying all of a sudden?" Maya teased him.
"I found a better way to spend my nine hour flight then in fear." He kissed her forehead and headed to the bathroom. Maya joined him five minutes later.

"I can't believe it's our wedding day tomorrow." Riley said excitedly. She laid in bed with Lucas next to her.
"I can't believe I get to marry the most beautiful girl in the world tomorrow. And then I get to call you my wife for the rest of my life." Lucas said as he looked into Riley's eyes. Lucas and Riley moved in together as soon as they started college. They were both studying at NYU and neither one of them wanted to be in a dorm room. They dated since they were fifteen and both knew they wanted to be together for a lot longer so they knew that it was the right time to move in together. It didn't feel rushed to them. It felt natural. And then Lucas got tired of waiting around for their life as married couple to start so he popped the question and Riley said yes instantly. They surprised everyone by deciding to do it right away but their friends and family knew them well enough to know it's the right move for them. Riley was so happy that her best friend and made of honor was coming home. They haven't seen each other in a month. They talk on the phone daily but Riley still missed her person. She couldn't wait for Maya to finish school and come back for good.
"I am so glad we decided that it would be stupid to not see each other the night before the wedding." Lucas said.
"I would miss you too much if we didn't. I forgot how to sleep alone." Riley responded.
"We really should sleep. It's 2 in the morning and we have a long day ahead of us." Lucas said.
"You're right. I don't want to fall asleep at the altar." Riley agreed. She turned away from Lucas and closed her eyes. He wrapped his arms around her and slowly dozed off.
"I can't wait for you to see me in the wedding dress." Riley said before falling asleep.
"I can't wait for to tear that dress off of you the next night." Lucas whispered to her. Just before they would both fall asleep, someone knocked on the door.
"Who could be knocking at this time of night?" Sleepy Lucas complained.
"I'll get it." Riley quickly stood up. Lucas went back to sleep but the sound of Riley screaming made him jump out of the bed and run to the front door. She was hugging her uncle and her best friends.
"What are you guys doing here? We didn't expect you for a couple more hours?" Lucas said happily as soon as his heart slowed down.
"I didn't either." Maya said and looked and Josh who had an apologetic smirk on. She let go of her best friend and went to hug Lucas.
"I am so glad you're here." He said.
"Not as glad as I am." Maya responded. "I really missed you guys."
"Why didn't you call? We would've picked you up from the airport." Riley said.
"It was no trouble. And we realized last minute that our flight was earlier then we told you." Josh explained. "We are sorry we woke you up."
"Don't be crazy. I can't believe you're here." Riley said and hugged them both again. Lucas joined them in the hug.
"Now we are just missing Farkle and the whole gang is back together." Lucas said with nostalgia.
"I can't wait to see him tomorrow." Maya was excited.
"We have a big day ahead of us."

"You have to get up. " Josh told Maya for the tenth time that morning as he tried to wake her up.
""Five more minutes." Maya pleaded half asleep.
"We're going to be late for the wedding." He reminded her.
Maya opened her eyes reluctantly. Josh kissed her.
"Good morning beautiful." He smiled at her. Maya pulled him closer and Josh laid on top of her. They kissed again. Maya let her hands wonder to the hem of his shirt. She tried to take it off of him.
"We don't have time." Josh stopped her and got up. "We're going to be late. And we still haven't seen our families."
Maya pushed him down and sat on top of him.
"There is always time for this." Maya said and kissed him again. He turned them around so that now he was on top of her again. He took off his shirt and helped Maya take off hers too.
"Maya can you…" Riley walked through the door without knocking. She let out a soft scream and covered her eyes with her hand. "I am so sorry guys, I should have knocked."
"Hey honey, have you seen my… oh god." Lucas walked in behind Riley and reacted in the same way.
"It's fine, we're covered." Maya said as soon as both her and Josh put on their shirts again.
"You can look now." Josh assured them it was safe.
"What's up Riley?" Maya wanted to change the subject before it got even more awkward.
"I need some help with the dress before we go." Riley said.
"I take my maid of honor duties very seriously." Maya said and left the room with Riley.
"And I can't find my tie." Lucas complained behind them.
"It's in the bathroom." Riley reminded him. "You tried it on yesterday."
Lucas and Josh grabbed all of the clothes and stuff they needed and went to meet up with Farkle, Cory, Shawn and Auggie and then go to church. Maya and Riley stayed to get ready. Soon Topanga and Katy joined them. Katy brought over her and Shawn's two year old daughter Izzy. Maya hasn't seen her sister in three months because she had a cold and couldn't fly the last time Katy and Shawn visited. Izzy looked a lot like Maya. She had her blue eyes and her blond curls but there was a lot of Shawn in her rebellious behavior.
The girls got ready with the help of the professional hair and makeup artist. Riley put on her strapless white ball gown wedding dress and she took everybody's breath away. Riley had two bridesmaids, Maya and a girl she was friends at NYU Lily. Farkle was Lucas's best man. When the girls arrived at the church, Maya ran straight to Farkle.
"I missed you buddy."
"I misses you too Hart." Farkle replied.
"So where is the lucky lady?" Maya was curious because she didn't meet his new girlfriend yet.
"We've only been together for two months. She is very special and I don't want to ruin it. Be nice." Farkle warned.
"I am always nice." Maya defended herself.
"Come on, I'll introduce you to Smackle."
"So she goes to MIT with you?" Maya checked the information she had.
"Yes." Farkle confirmed. "And she doesn't like to be touched by strangers so don't hug, just shake her hand."
"She really is a New Yorker." Maya joked.

Riley was sitting in the chair in the small room in the back of the church and laughing with her mother when Maya walked in the room.
"I was expecting you to pace the floor until there was a permanent hole in the shape of your feet on the ground." Maya said honestly.
"I am not nervous, Maya. I wanted to marry Lucas since I was twelve." Riley said with a smile.
"And nine years later, here we are."
"Did you see Lucas? How does he look?" Riley asked excitedly.
"He is very calm as well. He hadn't stopped smiling since he walked in the church. Josh said he hadn't stopped talking about you the whole morning." – Maya told her best friend.
"He really loves me." Riley was giddy. "And people thing we're getting married because I'm pregnant."
"Screw the people." Maya was fired up. "Let's get you married."
