A Kiss is more than just a kiss

"Are you sure this is a good idea Maya?"

"Relax huckleberry it's just a kiss, even Riley said she doesn't mind I mean it's not like it means anything right?"

"Right…"

"So we just wait until Josh arrives with uggh Melissa…" she pulled a face "you give me a quick kiss and Josh will asking me out in no time"

"That's quite a plan you've got there"

"What can I say, it's a gift."

Lucas had to wonder what she saw in Josh, the guy was a jerk, he was constantly dismissing Maya – one of the most smart, beautiful, funny girls he'd ever met and he somehow had the ability to turn her into a nervous wreck – how'd he do that? Not to mention the age gap… surely it was not normal for a 14 year old girl to be crushing on her best friend's uncle – he was practically an adult, shouldn't he know better than to lead her on? Maya would be much better off with someone her own age, someone who cared for her, who'd look out for her…someone like him?

"Hey huckleberry – they're here!" she elbowed him in the ribs

"Ow Maya that really hur-"

She cut him off with her lips wrapping her arms around his neck, she'd caught him by surprise but soon he melted into the kiss as if it was the most natural thing in the world – nothing like kissing Riley – Lucas lost himself in the sensation of kissing her, her lips soft against his, he pulled her closer – he'd never felt this way before… this was in no way 'just a kiss'.

"Maya?"

"Josh…"

"You two are dating?"

"Yes we are, is there a problem?" Lucas asked as he put his arm around her, suddenly protective

"No, no problem..." he answered, a hint of hurt in his voice

"Well then you'd better get back to your date" he said glancing at the tall brunette Josh had brought with him

"Right well… you guys enjoy the rest of your evening." And with that the couple left to sit in a booth in the corner.

"I should probably be leaving.." Maya said, a cloud of guilt suddenly drifting over her – she'd just kissed her best friends boyfriend and she'd enjoyed it a little too much, she no longer cared about Josh and Melissa – as far as she was concerned she could have him.

"Ok…see you"

"See you..." she called behind her, a little flushed

Had he made Maya Hart blush?
