Who would have thought that the long game would work out? It had been years since they made that promise. And a lot has happened between those years. Lucas and Maya got together, then broke up. Went with other people. Lucas dated Riley, again, and broke up, again. Maya tested her sexuality but realized guys were her thing. Got back together with Lucas during University but broke up again when he cheated on her with Riley. Riley and her didn't speak for a year.

But now Maya's reached the end of her university life and had life set out the way she wants it. She's best friends with Riley, still, but their friendship changed it's now a more mature friendship, one with trust and a whole lot more of respect and equality. Lucas is no longer a romantic interest to her and thank God for that, she couldn't handle it anymore. Though, as she was sitting on her dorm room cleaning up her stuff for the last time, she realized that through it all Josh was there each step of the way.

Through her multiple break ups, her sexual identity crisis and when Riley and her weren't "Riley and Maya". He was supportive and was always the go-to guy for help. Of course they had there flirtatious days but then there were days that they would just sit watching a movie in quiet solitude. It made her appreciate and love him even more.

They decided that when she finished high school that she needed to experience university the proper way. Nothing holding her back, especially him. At first it was difficult but she realized that if she didn't do that that she may not have been the person she was now, mature and experienced.

Of course, he had his share of adventure as well. From stalker girlfriends and dates to good one's that ended in heartbreak, be it due to him or them. And every step of the way Maya was there for him as well.

*Knock! Knock!*

"Maya are you ready?" someone shouted from behind her dorm door.

She got up and opened the door and a smile plastered her tiny face. Standing before her was the love of her life, the guy who was more than just her boyfriend. He's her soul mate. It was a new relationship but it felt like they've been together for years.

Finally, the long game worked out it sure as hell took long but at least this time it was right. In more ways than one.
