Stay with me 3
So, I don't normally like posting authors notes at the beginning, but I was hoping you guys may help me with something. I want to put the link up for my polyvore site, but whenever I try, it just comes up blank on my profile. Do any of you know how to fix that? PM or answer in a review. Thanks guys!
"MAYA!" Riley yelled from inside her walk in closet.
"Dude, chill, I'm right here!" Maya yelled back.
"WHAT DO I WEAR?!" Riley yelled once again, oblivious to the fact that Maya was standing in the doorway of the closet.
"Riley! Calm down! I'm right here!" The blonde said.
"Oh, I thought you'd be in the living room."
"Why would I be there?" Maya questioned. Maya's one and only purpose for being at the Matthew's house that day to help her friend pick out an outfit for her date. The blonde couldn't help her friend if she were in the living room.
"Because my uncle is supposed to be here any minute now."
"Nope. I'm not going down there." Maya stated coolly, while in her head she was thinking, must…resist…temptation! Maya should've been getting used to the fact that Josh was at the Matthews' apartment a few times a week, but she wasn't, and nearly every time he came she was there to greet him with a 'yo boing!' And a surprise piggy back ride.
Maya's resolve was soon broken when she heard the door slam, and when Cory yelled, "My brotha!" Maya was already into the living room.
"Uncle Boing! You're back!" Maya yelled, running towards the teen and jumping on his back.
"Yeah- oof -I'm back." Josh said back, stumbling as he tried to catch the girl.
"Why are you here?" Maya asked him.
"I could say the same for you, Maya," He said back.
"I'm getting Riley ready for a date." Maya said confidently.
"Ya sure? Because it doesn't look like it."
"I had to come down to greet my husband!"
"Maya, we're not married!" Josh emphasized.
"Not yet," Maya yelled as she turned back to Riley's room. She was completely unaware of the fact that while she was turned away, a light blush was creeping up on Josh's face. She suddenly turned back to him and said, "I won't give up on us!"
"Oh, I know you won't, you little whack job." The now 18 year old mumbled.
Maya bounded into Riley's room where the girl was waiting for her. Riley was holding up two dresses. One was strapless, and the part that was to go around Riley's chest was dark grey and tight, the rest was black and white tribal print, flowing down to just above her knees. The other was a pinkish purple color. The bodice of the pink dress was lace and did have little sleeves. The bottom, which puffed out a little bit had one big ruffle that wrapped around the skirt.
"Riley, where did you get these dresses?"
"To be honest Maya, I completely forgot I had them. I got them in Philadelphia when uncle Eric took me thrift shopping last summer." Riley replied. "Which one?"
"Riles, I never thought I'd say this, but I like the pink one better." Maya said.
"I'm gonna cover it up with a short sleeved jacket." Riley said, walking back into the closet to get the cover up.
As Riley was putting on her makeup, Topanga walked into the room.
"Aww, honey you look beautiful!"
"Thanks mom. Can you waterfall braid my hair?" Riley asked sweetly.
"Of course, and do you want me to curl it?"
"No Mrs. Matthews, I'm doing that for her," Maya interjected.
About one hour later Riley and Maya were sitting on the window seat, waiting for the buzzer that indicated the arrival of Lucas. Maya could tell that her best friend was getting impatient.
"When do you think he'll get here?" Riley said. "He just texted like ten minutes ago that he was almost here."
"He'll be here." Maya assured the girl. She had no later gotten the words out of her mouth when the buzzer went off.
Riley's smile couldn't have gotten any wider as she bounded down the stairs to see Lucas in black dress pants, a white shirt, and a grey jacket. The boy was holding a bouquet of flowers, all Riley's favorite color, purple.
"Aww, Lucas, you didn't have to get me flowers," Riley smiled as she took the flowers out of his hands and went to the kitchen to get a vase.
As soon as the flowers were in a vase, Riley and Lucas were holding hands, ready to leave.
"Wait!" Cory yelled at the boy. "Have her back by ten, and don't do anything stupid." Cory was right in Lucas's face. He had finally allowed the two to be together, but he was still very protective of Riley.
"She'll be back by 9:45, and sir, I would never do anything stupid." Lucas said, no longer phased by Cory's overprotective habits.
"Fine, you may go." Cory waved the couple off.
Shortly after they left the apartment, Lucas and Riley were at the subway station. The train came and the car was so crowded that Riley had to sit on Lucas's lap.
"I'm getting a sense of déjà vu here." Lucas said laughing, recalling how they had sat like this on a subway twice before, once when the met, and again on their first date, which eventually had resulted in the two officially becoming a couple.
"Yeah, I am too," Riley said thoughtfully. "What happened the last time we were on the subway like this?" The girl said flirtatiously, knowing exactly what happened.
"This," Lucas said, taking her face in his hands. Her arms wrapped around his neck, and they both leaned in for long kiss.
"Oh yeah," Riley smiled when they pulled away from each other, their foreheads still touching.
I know I said this chapter would have the date, but it turned out longer than I thought and I wasn't going to fit the date into the whole chapter. Anyway, I updated a little later because of the holiday weekend, but I updated now so its all good.
What did you guys think about this chapter? Tell me what y'all think and leave a review!
Some questions, if you don't know what to review. . .
The Joshaya fluff, what did ya think about that? What I said there actually was kind of a reference to the sequel I want to do, that'll focus more on Maya and Josh.
How do you feel about Cory actually letting them date without flipping out?
What did you like about this chapter? What didn't you like?
Alright, I'm done talking. LittleBitNerdy oout! Peace! *does peace sign with fingers*
