Maybe Someday
"You do your thing and I do my thing. You are you and I am I. And, if, in the end, we end up together, it's beautiful."
"I'll play the long game," He said with a smile that mirrored hers. "You'll live your life. I'll live mine. I know you're out there," He paused for a moment to look into her beautiful blue eyes before continuing. "...and I'm out there too."
"That's your deal?" She asks with a sly smile trying to hide her excitement.
"That's my deal." Maya remained silent so Josh decided to make the first move. With an outstretched hand he asks, "Someday?"
And without a moment of hesitation she places her hand in his and declares, "Someday."
Unbeknownst to the young couple someday was a long ways down the road, longer than expected that is. Their lack of a romantic relationship proved time and time again to be rather difficult.
For example, when Maya Hart walked across the stage to receive her diploma, Josh had no explanation as to why he was up and out if his seat whilst clapping louder than Shawn and Katy combined. He managed to avoid any suspicion by saying that he was practicing for when it was Riley's turn. However, it was noticed by the surrounding adults that Josh wasn't nearly as enthusiastic once Riley walked across the stage.
Several days passed until everyone's six favorite high school graduates were sitting in their respective places at Topanga's while their friends and family mingled around them. The group of teens were basking in their freedom revisiting old memories and anticipating about uncertain futures. It was if they were in their own little bubble; that is until Josh came over and popped it by tapping Maya on her blue clad shoulder. The blonde beauty turned around pleasantly surprised to see Josh seeking her attention. "Yes?" She asked.
"Can I talk to you outside for a minute?" Maya could tell he was nervous and he found it endearing so she didn't bother teasing him. With a small nod to Josh and a kind smile to the group, silently excusing herself, she stood up and turned to follow Josh out of the caffe. The couple walked past the chatting Mr. and Mrs. Mathews and Mr. and Mrs. Hunter all the while Josh led Maya with his hand on the small of her back. This display of affection did not go unnoticed by the four adults as they shared a knowing smile with one another.
Once the blue-eyed teens were outside and alone any nervousness either of them were feeling vanished immediately. "So?" Maya asked tentatively, unsure of what was happening.
"So?" Josh replies in a joking matter. Maya, of course, laughs at this before asking.
"Why did you bring me out here Josh?" Realization hits him which could be seen by his raised eyebrows and wide eyes, earning another chuckle from the younger of the two. Josh then turns around and reaches behind a vacant table before turning back to her with a smile on his face and a package in his arms.
"This is your graduation gift from me." Josh says while he holds the gift out to her awaiting hands. Maya takes it with a devilish smile and rips of the carefully wrapped paper as if she were five years old again and it was Christmas morning. Once all the colored paper has hit the pavement and there is nothing obstructing her view of the gift Maya lets out a small gasp. She looks up at Josh with watery eyes and he begins to think his gift was a big mistake. It isn't until Maya's red tinted lips curl into a wide smile that Josh feels relief.
"I love it," Maya says staring down at the leather-bound sketchbook while simultaneously tracing over the gold engraving on the cover. Someday.
"Well," Josh says taking a step closer causing Maya to raise her head to look into his eyes. "I just figured since you're an Art Major at NYU you could use something like this," Josh took another step closer, pushing his luck. "You are going to be a famous artist someday." He was so close Maya could feel his breath on her skin.
"Maybe someday you'll let me draw you." Maya said with shaky breath.
Josh took a single blonde curl and began to wrap it around his finger admiring its golden hue in the sunlight as he hummed softly. "Maybe someday I'll be able to kiss you whenever I want." He stated with a longing look in his eyes.
"Don't hold your breath." Maya whispered with a coy smile. They stood like that for several minutes, with their eyes locked and their breaths in sync.
"Kids?" And just like that the couple was thrown back into reality by none other than Topanga Matthews. "We're serving cake, you two should probably get inside." Her smirk was just as evident as the blush on the two teens cheeks as they walked back into the cafe with their heads ducked and more space in between them.
Once back in the cafe it was as if nothing had happened. Maya returned to her friends and Josh went back to mingling with long lost uncles and second cousins once removed. It all seemed totally innocent. If it weren't for them looking over their shoulder in search for the other they would have been golden.
"Shawn what is so funny?" asked Topanga as she walked back to the three parents she had been chatting before interrupting the two teenagers outside.
"Nothing it's just well," Shawn gave Cory a pat on the back trying to suppress another laughing fit. "Its seems to me that I'm going to be your dad?" Shawn said with a chuckle.
"What do you mean Shawny?" Asked Cory in his Cory-like voice.
"Well, seeing as Maya is going to be your sister-in-law and I'm her step-father I will be your step-father-in-law," Shawn then turned to Topanga. "Right?" Topanga replied with soft chuckle and a shake of the head. Cory wasn't as easily amused.
"How do you figure that Maya will be my sister-in-law?" He asked perplexed looking to those around him for answers. Even Katy was aware of what Shawn was implying and she too found her husband's assumption amusing.
"Look at them Cor," Shawn stated while gesturing to the clumps of teens before him.
"Look at whom?" Cory asked still not following.
"Maya and Josh," explained Shawn sounding exasperated. "Look at him." Cory looked to spot Josh in the crowd only to see that his eyes were glued on Maya. "Now look at her." Cory did as he was told and noticed that Maya was admiring a book of some sort that she didn't have when she arrived at the party. "Now look at both of them." Cory looked back and forth between the teens spotting similar expressions of earning on their faces.
"Dammit." Cory scowled while the three adults laughed around him.
