Sorry I've been busy with school and work and haven't had much time to write. This is mainly a filler chapter but I've already started on the next part. Hopefully I can get the next part up soon since the semester is winding down and soon it'll be Christmas YAY! Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and for those who don't celebrate I hope you had a wonderful day as well.
As usual I don't anything.
"So Lucas just..."
"Yep."
"Out of nowhere?"
"Yep."
"In public?"
"Yep."
Maya had just finished giving Riley the brief very edited version of the day's events and was now awaiting her best friend's advice.
Instead of giving her advice Riley burst out laughing, bending over, her hands clutching her sides.
"Riley Matthews this is an emergency you stop laughing right now!"
Riley was wheezing, trying her best to recompose herself, "I'm sorry but it's funny seeing you shaken up over a guy, and even funnier that it's Lucas, the one guy you swore you'd never date."
"It's not a date. It's just sex." She mumbled.
Sitting back up Riley wiped away a tear, "Where did this all happen, were there people, was it loud? I never pegged Maya Hart as an exhibitionist, no one noticed his hand up your skirt?"
"Riley, just give me some advice pleaseeee," Maya whined.
"Sorry, you're on your own for this one." Riley informed her pouty best friend, "I love you but some decisions you have to make on your own. I can give you a little shove but I can't carry you there."
"Ring power." Maya exclaimed holding out her finger.
Riley shook her head, "You wanted my advice that's my advice, you either want him or you don't. In the end my answer can't change how you feel, what you feel for him, you're the only one who knows the answer to that."
Maya flopped down face first into Riley's bed, "But I don't even know how I feel. On one hand he's so hot but on the other hand he's my best friend, but on the other other hand he's also great with his hands."
"Okay, first of all ew, I don't want to know what you and Lucas have or haven't done. But, if you really didn't like him would you really have let him go as far as you did? Peaches, deep down you know you want him, you need to stop holding yourself back."
Maya curled into herself seeking more warmth, "I'm scared." It was barely a whisper but Riley heard her loud and clear. She felt the bed sink and Riley came into her line of vision.
"All I want is one night, one night to get him out of my system, one night to get over him. But I'm so scared I'll want more, and I know I'll regret it if I never do it. But I also know I'll regret it if I do."
"Maya you do know you can have more than one night, it doesn't have to end." Riley said gently, "Good things happen to good people."
"Except I'm not a good person, and all good things must come to an end. Like my night with Lucas, I'll go, and then it'll come to an end and then I can move forward with my life."
"Maya–"
But Maya had already made up her mind. "No Riley, I'm going to fuck Lucas, once, and then I'm done."
"But–" It pained Riley to hear Maya speak so crudely about Lucas.
"Riley," Maya's voice held an unspoken plea.
So Riley dropped it and together they lay there, both knowing tonight was going to change everything.
Riley was the first to break the silence, "But really Maya, do you think once is enough? I mean, you've seen Lucas he's got it going on."
"Yeah, I do think once is enough."
"Get real Maya, once is not enough you're so going to fuck him, and then you're going to fuck him again."
Maya shoved Riley, "What happened to, ewww?"
"It went out the window when my two best friends decided to get together. You'll fuck him, date him, marry him, and then have his babies."
"Are you forgetting everything I just said? I'm having sex with the guy, not marrying him."
"But you will have his babies?"
"Riley!"
"You're sooooo going to marry him, and when you do I'm going to be your maid of honor, I already have the perfect dress" Riley sighed, "You just have to fuck him first."
She shoved Riley harder this time, pushing her off the edge. Riley laughed sprawled out on the carpet.
"Touchy, touchy." She got up dusting herself off, "So what time is your date with Lucas?"
"It's not a date!" Maya yelled.
The door opened and in walked Farkle.
"Ladies..."
"Farkle." Maya acknowledged rolling over in time to catch the end of a very heated kiss between her two best friends.
"Wow, Riley did I see a little tongue action?"
Riley blushed furiously, "Go fuck yourself, or better yet go fuck Lucas."
Obviously Maya had become a good bad influence on Riley over the years.
"Ooo, is Miss Maya Penelope Hart finally going to ride the cowboy." Farkle asked waggling his eyebrows suggestively, "OW!"
"And you!" Maya turned facing Riley now, "Why would you say that in front of Farkle?"
"Please Maya, we talk about everything. He's my boyfriend! You guys just happen to be our favorite subject, that's if we aren't having sex."
"Riley, TMI, that's so gross." Maya shuddered trying to clear the image of her two innocent friends doing it.
"Look, Farkle not that I don't appreciate you but I have a date at 7 o'clock and it is currently half past five so you, need to get lost." Maya shoved him out of the dorm ignoring his protests, slamming the door in his face.
"RILEY YOU OWE ME FIFTY BUCKS!"
"Riles, what's he yapping about?"
"Oh, nothing important."
She turned back around and found Riley smiling, "I thought it wasn't a date."
"It's not. I said that to get rid of Farkle."
"You don't look so happy about that."
"I'm okay, it's no big deal." She shrugged.
"Say it one more time, add a smile and I'll believe you."
She smiled but was pretty sure it looked more like a grimace.
"I'll take it. Now, take a quick shower while I lay out some clothes, there's clean towels in the cabinet under the sink."
She shoved Maya into the bathroom before she could protest.
"One more week and I would've won, dang it Maya." Sighing Riley began digging through her closet looking for something Maya could wear. Pulling out her phone she shot Lucas a quick text.
I hope you know what you're doing.
Almost immediately she got a response back.
That makes two of us.
Riley shook her head at his response.
Not exactly the answer I was looking for.
She dug some more looking for a dress she knew Maya had left behind. It had to be here somewhere.
Riley, we have to do this. You know that.
Yes, she did know that. They'd been skating around the issue since middle school, by some miracle they'd all ended up at the same college together and Maya and Lucas were still skating around each other. Honestly, it was making her a bit dizzy.
Is one night enough for you?
This response came quicker than the last.
No.
