Riley was nervous, she was engaged again and had to tell maya. Maya had been the one to convince her to date again after lucus's death. Yet Riley knew who she was engaged to would shock maya . Riley decided now was the best time Maya would be working in her art space next door as the kids were in school. So Riley walked next door and used her key to walk in which was a mistake as Josh was just pulling up his pants and maya was laying naked on the Floor. Riley went to turn around but Josh ran over and said "Riley stay Maya will be dressed in a second, I'm off to the gym so you stay " "Don't you work at the hospital today?" " No I took the month off to spend time with Maya and the kids. It's been a hard couple years and I'm also using the time to decide if I want to change fields . I'm tired of all the messed up shifts being a emergency surgeon I think I mightn't like to be a private doctor so I can schedule my own surgery's and spend more time with the family." "Well , that's great UNCLE josh " Riley said with a grin . Josh just laughed gave her a hug and headed out.
Maya was ready for her when she turned around. Maya patted the artist couch and Riley sat down "so what's up sunshine "
"A lot actually you know how for the past year every Friday I've had Shawn jr babysitting the kids for me"
"Yes , for your class right"
"Well actually it's been so I could go on dates."
" Riley that's great though I'm mad that you didn't tell me . What changed now that made you want to tell me "
"Maya I'm sorry but loosing lucus and having to raise my two kids on my own has been hard. I didn't want judgement from anyone so I needed to keep it quite. If I told you josh would know if josh knew he might let it slip to My father and then everyone would know. I am sorry but to why I'm telling you is that the kids love him and I love him so we've decided to get married."
"What your getting married? What's his name ? What's he do ? How did you meet? When do I meet him? "
"Slow down maya , I will try to get to all those answers. I was hoping you would be willing to have dinner with us tonight. "
"Sure sure we can but I want the back story first!!!"
" ok well..."
Riley starts the story ." A little over a year ago when I was trying to start Ranger Rick Toys And Stuff to help families like mine who have lost a parent who was in the police department , I heard of an opportunity to get funding thru Smart Tec industries"
" I remember that you said that even though you didn't win the grant money the companies founder took a personal interest in your charity."
" Yes, he did he also took a personal interest in me."
"Wait your telling me that the founder of a multi billion dollar company is the man your going to marry. "
"Yes"
" Wait what's his name I know I saw it recently in time magazine. "
" The name he goes by in The main stream is Marcus spencer"
" That's right they said that was the name he used when modeling his way thru college. Then he married a rich woman named Margarita montas a Portuguese heiress who's family made there money in the alcohol industry. She divorced him a year ago two months before there only child was born. No one could figure out why until she got arrested for racketeering. She was running 22 shell company's to make her airplane company look like the lowest bidder right"
" Yes, in the simplest terms she was corrupt. She divorced him when he wouldn't help her. He actually turned her in . His company had never had her be involved but he still felt moving him and Tomas back to the USA would be better. "
" so did you guys start dating that day you met at his facility"
" Sort of...he took me out to dinner to catch up. I told him how Lucus had been on a routine lost child call when the father of the boy came home and shot him . He was comforting and said he would like to invest his own money into starting Ranger Rick foundation which he said sounded better. At first we just talked about the organization and slowly I started falling for him"
" Well who wouldn't I saw some of his modeling photos in that time magazine and he's a hunk but what do you mean catch up did you know him before..."
" we both did we went to school with him. He went by a different name back then. He changed it to the name his modeling agency thought sounded better. He goes by Marcus now he sys it sounds more professional but his real name is still the same."
" ok but I couldn't forget a body like that "
" You once asked him how such a nerd could workout like a football player. Lucus responded " when he's become the star kicker on the football team ."
Maya mouth hung open and then she yelled " Holy crap your marrying FARKLE
