A/N: So, this is my Christmas present to you guys, before getting back into writing my main stories. Here is the first part of my 12 Days of Christmas one shots of our favorite couples, Josh and Maya. Each day will have a theme and today's theme is "Friendship".
Enjoy.
Summary: A day in which Josh and Maya play twenty questions.
Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only your friends will leave footprints in your heart.
- Eleanor Roosevelt
There sat Maya Hart on her couch pondering if she should do her homework. The Riley in her told her to be responsible and do her homework. But the Maya in her told her to suck it and homework is stupid. That she didn't have to do it and that she could watch some television instead. But Maya quickly became bored with watching reruns of her favorite shows.
Well, she was bored, until there was a knock on her door.
She opened the door to see her boing.
"Josh? What are you doing here?" As much as she was thrilled that the guy she likes is at her apartment, alone with her, she was confused. They were supposed to be keeping their distance since the last accident. He had came over and it resulted in a heated make out that almost led to something else if her mom and Shawn didn't walk in.
"Well, I needed to see my girl, and I was bored."
Maya smirked at her little nickname.
"Did you just call me your girl, Joshua Matthews?" Maya asked as she stepped into his personal space. They were so close to each other that they felt each other breath on their face.
"Well, you are my girl, aren't you Maya Penelope?" She wanted to punch him for saying her dreaded middle name, but instead to irk him even more, she leaned in a little and grasped his bottom lip with her teeth. It excited in a good way when she heard him groan in pleasure. Pleasure that she induced.
"Maya." His voice gave a warning that maybe her actions wasn't the best at the moment. Especially with it being the weekend and her parents were gone to Philadelphia.
"Sorry, not sorry." Maya gave a tight smile. She really wanted Josh and it grated on her nerves of their stupid long game.
"No, it's fine. I shouldn't have come." He started to leave towards the door when she grabbed his arm.
"No, you don't have to leave, Josh. Leaving always makes it awkward the next time we see each other. Maybe we should just play a game to cool ourselves down." And normally, Josh would make up every excuse in the book to leave after a heated encounter with Maya, but he really missed her. He had a terrible week with his professors and the only solace he received was talking with Maya late at night.
"Okay, what do you suggest?"
"Well, let's continue to get to know each other. Let's play twenty questions." Maya and Josh sat on the couch.
"Twenty questions? How is that game any fun?" Maya giggled at his pout but didn't relent.
"You are the one who wanted to use this time to get to know each other." She pointed her index finger at Josh and pressed it lightly against his chest.
With a hand over his heart, Josh said,"Maya, you wound me, you know that."
Maya rolled her eyes, "Oh, don't be such a baby. Why not play the game? We are just friends right now and friends get to know each other right?"
"Just friends? Maya, I don't think I count as one of your buddies from what we were just doing earlier and a couple weeks ago."
"You know what I mean. I know we are more but only in feelings. In real life, you are my friend."
"I know and sometimes I think about what the hell I am doing."
"What?" exclaimed Maya.
Josh chuckled, "Maya, you are becoming a very beautiful woman, and I am just lucky to have you near. You are driving me insane and I am afraid -"
"Josh, stop thinking so much, you are going to give yourself an aneurysm."
"Fine, Hart. Let's play twenty questions."
"Okay, me first! What fictional place would you like to go to?"
"Narnia," answered Josh.
"Narnia?"
"Oh, please don't tell me you don't know what Narnia is?"
"I do. I am just curious as to why you would want to go there."
"No particular reason except to see the wonders of paradise."
"You are weird, Matthews."
"Haha, your turn Hart. What skill would you like to master?"
"Josh, I gave you an easy one, now I have to think!" Her response made Josh chuckle. She either didn't know the effect he had on her or she did and didn't care, but she made his heart soar.
At that moment in time, Josh wanted everyday to be like this. He wanted the fire and the attraction as well as the hardships. He wanted it all with Maya. And he would take just getting to know her as friends for now. And maybe a little benefits. (A wink:)!)
