Maya looked at the walk-up apartment and was a little nervous. She had been here plenty of times since he moved in but this was different. This time she wasn't previously invited, this time she wasn't expected. She sucked in a breath before opening the heavy door and walking in. She climbed up the 4 flights of stairs and stopped at 4D. She lifted her fist to knock but the door opened. Maya came face to face with a gorgeous brunette. She had hazel eyes surrounded in eye liner and bright red lipstick on. Maya moved out of the way so that the girl could walk past her and locked eyes with the person she came to see. Josh instantly smiled at the sight of her. He moved out of the doorway and nodded with his head for her to enter.

"I'll see you later Manda." The girl smiled and nodded. Leaving with nothing but a wave. Josh turned after shutting the door and grinned at Maya. "To what do I owe the pleasure?" Maya shrugged.

"I just wanted to see you, that a crime?" Maya looked down at her feet when Josh let out a chuckle.

"I love seeing you. I was disappointed that you didn't stay for dinner last night. Did you have fun with Shawn?" Maya nodded.

"So, who's the leggy brunette?" Maya looked at him intently waiting for a response.

"That's Andrews newest girlfriend. She was leaving something for him in his room. I just let her in. You jealous?" Maya's eyes widen while her embarrassment took over.

"I am not jealous!" Josh grinned.

"You look so hot when your Jealous, baby." Maya frowned.

"Josh?" He smiled at her. "Can we talk?" And then he frowned.

"That doesn't sound so good." Maya turned away from him and sat on the couch that was placed in the center of the living room. Josh followed.

"I…I… I don't want to play the long game anymore." Josh allowed his eyes to go wide for just a moment before letting his face return to its normal calm expression.

"You found someone new? Or you just don't feel that way about me anymore? Maya, I'm pretty confused so I'm going to need you to explain." Maya knew that she shouldn't have felt relieved but when she saw the moment of fear in his eyes it made her feel better.

"No, that's not what I meant. I just don't want to wait anymore. I think its someday. I think you and I should see if we actually have something here or if it's just friendship." Josh let out a sigh of relief before responding.

"No." Maya frowned.

"What do you mean no?" Josh could hear the frustrations in her voice.

"I don't think its time yet." Maya was holding back her tears at this point.

"Why don't you want to be with me?" Josh sighed.

"That's what you think? Babe, I haven't had a serious girlfriend in years. I spend almost all my free time zoning out on you. Maya, I want to be with you, please don't doubt that, don't doubt me." He decided to drill his point in by grabbing the back of her head and pushing her toward him.

Maya had been kissed before. She had been kissed plenty of times. Never by Josh, never like this. Maya let out a small moan at the feeling of Josh's mouth on hers. Josh responded by swiping his tongue on her lower lip. Maya opened her mouth and allowed him access to her mouth while throwing her arms around his neck. Josh pulled her in closer as she sucked on his bottom lip, she felt instantly satisfied with herself when she heard Josh let out a groan. In a moment of clarity Josh pulled himself away.

"Baby, we have to stop." Maya frowned.

"Why? I don't want to stop." Josh sighed.

"I want to wait until your done with High School. That's why we haven't had this conversation, that's why I've been waiting. It's not because I don't want you, it's because I want to do this right. Us doing this right means we wait until you are NOT a High School student. Just a couple more weeks. Can you hold out for me?" Maya smiled, she felt like an idiot.

"If me waiting means I get to kiss you like that again than I'll wait forever. You know I almost made a horrible mistake." Josh raised an eye brow at her.

"Oh yeah?" Maya nodded.

"There's this guy at school that's been showing some interest and I was starting to think that you were just stalling until you could come up with the right words to tell me you didn't feel that way about me, so I was considering hanging out with him." Maya noticed the way Joshed tensed.

"And by hang out, you mean?" Maya nodded at him. "Okay, look, you need to talk to me Maya. You can't assume that you know what I'm thinking or what I'm going to do. If you and I are going to do this, then we have to talk. You can't get mad at me for something that you don't even know if I was actually going to do and go hook up with some random dude!" Maya frowned.

"I'm so sorry. I just got so scared when you didn't bring anything up after my birthday." Josh then realized why Riley was so pissed at him.

"Its fine Maya, just can call off Riley next time you see her." Maya let out a snort.

"You afraid of a high school chick?" Josh laughed at Maya's taunt.

"I'm sorry, but have you met Riley Mathews. That high school chick needs help!" Maya smacked Josh on the arm.

"Hey, watch it, Boing. That's my best friend your talking about." Josh grinned at her.

"Movie?" Maya nodded.

"Can I pick?" He reluctantly agreed. "The God Father Part 2!" Josh let out a groan.

"Dude, we've seen that a million times. You have a problem Maya, a serious problem."

Although Josh was complaining he stood up and grabbed the DVD of the rack. Maya let her mind wander back to the kiss her and Josh had shared. It was passionate and loving, everything she could ever want. She knew he wanted to wait until she was out of high school but wondered if he would be opposed to a repeat performance. Maya looked up when she heard the familiar opening credits to her favorite move. Josh walked back to the couch and sat close to Maya. She sat up and pulled Josh's face down to hers. He didn't pull away immediately but let their lips linger together for a moment. When he felt, Maya deepening the kiss he pulled way.

"You, Maya Hunter, are trying to kill me." Maya laughed before letting her body rest against Josh and settling in for the movie.
