The next morning:

Maya's POV:

As I stood in the kitchen chopping fruit I pondered on the night that I had just had. I had just slept with Joshua Mathews, and every second of it had been pure bliss.

I snapped out of my daze when I felt two arms wrap around my waist: Josh. And just like that the sunshine came through the windows, shinning on us perfectly as if we were to angels alone on peaceful cloud that only consisted of harmony.

" Good morning," I whisper.

" Good morning, ducky," He murmurs. I turn around and wrap my arms around his neck, I looked at his perfect blue eyes. I pull him in softly and place a warm kiss on his lips.

" I'm never going to get tired of doing that." I say with a smile.

" Then don't." He replies giving me another kiss. I look down at our outfits. Josh was shirtless and bare foot, he only had on his blue jeans. I on the other hand had on only underwear and Josh's white button down shirt.

" Hey," He says with a chuckle. " Isn't it supposed to be me that makes you breakfast?"

I laugh. " I don't mind, not now, not ever."

" Have I told you how much I love you lately?" He asks pulling me even closer to him.

" No," I answer softly. " Not recently."

" Well," He begins. " I'm telling you now, I love you, Maya Hart. Nothing can change that."

" And I love you, Joshua Mathews."

" Look, Maya, about last night—''

" Josh," I interrupt him. " It's okay, you were my first time, but it's because I promised myself that I wouldn't have sex with anyone that I wasn't in love with, and I am so ridiculously in love with you. So it's okay, there's no pressure. I mean, I don't have anyone to compare you to, but, you were amazing last night."

" Eh, you weren't too bad." He says jokingly.

" Asshole!" I exclaim with a laugh.

" Oh, speaking of which, you know… since you brought it up," He says with a negotiable hand gesture. " How do you feel about doing it in the—''

" Don't. Even. Try. It!" I warn with a laugh.

He laughs along with me. " I'm just kidding, you know that right?"

" Yeah," I whisper. " I know."

" Can I ask you something?"

" Anything," I answer.

" How do you feel about dinner tonight before we head back to the casino and deal with Missy, just you and me, what do you think?"

" I think, you've got yourself a dinner date, Josh."

Two hours later:

Riley and I sit on her bed painting our toenails and reading magazines, talking about the finer things in life, with no boys: like how it used to be.

" Riley," I begin. " Can I tell you something?"

" Sure, what's up?"

" Promise you won't freak out?"

" Promise." She confirms.

" Josh and I had sex last night."

She squeals. " Yay, you're going to be my sister in law!"

" Relax," I exclaim. " Riles, we slept together, we're not getting married!"

" Oh, c'mon that's crazy talk!" Riley says putting down her magazine. " I've been a joshaya shipper since the beginning, you know that, you guys have been friends since forever and you finally got together last night, it's the perfect storm"

" Riley," I begin. " If I say something about it and he doesn't even remotely feel the same way, not only would I be humiliated but he would think I'm a crazy psychotic girlfriend, which I'm not."

" Maya, if my idiot twin brother ever and I mean EVER calls you psychotic I, myself will give him a nice and hard sisterly kick in the balls."

" Okay fine," I retaliate. " I'll say something but the second something shifts between us, I'm backing off of the topic."

" YAY!" She squeals.

Meanwhile:

Lucas and Josh stood in the hotel gym lifting weights and talking about the simple things in life, with no girls: like how it used to be.

" So," Josh begins. " How are you and Riley doing?"

" Let's just say Riley and I are going on a little break." Lucas answers.

" Is she still pissed about last night?"

" Oh, yeah, big time. She really laid it down last night, everything that she thought was wrong with our relationship, everything wrong with how I acted since we started the mission. God, I just don't understand woman."

" Well if it helps you're not the only one that had their girl lay it down, if you know what I mean." Josh says with a smirk.

" No way," Lucas exclaims as he puts down the weights. Josh followed suit. The both sat down on the floor. " You and Maya hooked up last night, dude you know she was virgin right?"

" Yes, I am fully aware of the fact that she was a virgin." Josh replies. " But, dude, I don't know when the last time you slept with a virgin was, but, give e'm twenty seconds and I promise you she'll be wet as a river."

" My man!" Lucas cheers and fist bumps josh. " I'm sure Riley's elated, she always wanted Maya as a sister in law."

" Woah, dude Maya and I slept together we're not getting married!"

" No, I know, I know, it's just that I don't see why you guys shouldn't." Lucas justifies. " I mean, you've been friends since forever and you guys finally got together last night it's the perfect storm."

" You know," Josh says. " You're starting to sound a lot like Riley."

" As much as I don't want to side with her on this, she's right."

" Okay fine," Josh retaliates. " I'll say something but the second something shifts between us, I'm backing off of the topic."

" Great!" Lucas celebrates. " Dude, it's going to be perfect, I mean it."

At Josh and Maya's dinner:

The restaurant was gorgeous, absolutely stunning. It was a rooftop restaurant, and from the roof you could the breath taking Ukrainian skyline. On the rooftop were many filled tables and fancy looking waiters that only added to the illusion of complete paradise.

I wore a back maxi skirt with black wedges and to top it off I wore a tight indigo tank top. And of course just like every other day of his life, Josh looked as handsome as ever.

" Josh," I say in awe, taking it all in. " This place is beyond amazing."

" I thought you'd like it." He replies smoothly.

" No," I protest. " I mean it, its perfect."

" Well, I'm happy that you're happy."

The waiter escorts us to our table which is even more phenomenal then I had expected, it was right at the edge of the rooftop which was obviously gated. But we were close enough that we could see every little detail of the sun setting.

" It's worth it, you know?" He says to me.

" What's worth it?" I ask.

" That look on your face, that's worth it to me."

I smile. " Look, Josh there's something that I need to talk to you about."

" Okay," He answers. " There's something I've been meaning to talk to you about too."

" Alright, well, who's going first then?" I ask with a laugh.

" Ladies first," Josh replies.

" Okay, so listen," I begin. " My mom used to tell me the story of how she and my dad got married. She tells me how she hated traditional things, like how guys were expected to pay, and initiate the next date, expected to make the big gesture and eventually propose. She hated all of it. My mom had really fallen in love with my dad before he screwed up, and so she decided that she was going to propose to him. I always thought it was smart, the way she thought about it, that she was a smart and brilliant feminist. So, every time I asked for the story she always said: There is no story, I just said, marry me, and somehow in someway that was everything."

I could see the shock in his eyes but I could also see the hope in his eyes as though he was telling me I should continue.

But I didn't have to, he does. " Maya," He says. " If this is going anywhere that I hope it's going, please stop talking and let me finish for you. I don't want that to be what you tell people when they ask what our story is. I want you to tell them that you had an amazing story. I want you tell them how I got on one knee," he gets out of his chair and kneels down in front of me. " And took your soft hand in mine," He takes my hands. " Looked into your baby blue eyes, watched them well with tears," and of course I got choked up. " And asked you out of nothing but the decency in my heart to love me, for as long as you possibly could hold on. And I'd promise to do the same. I want you to tell them how it was only a day that it took for me to realize that you are everything that I want and need in my life."

He pulls a small black velvet box out of his pocket and holds it out in front of me. He opens it up, on the ring was a large diamond right in the middle of it with little sapphire stones around it. It was nothing but beautiful. I start to cry, soft happy tears that bring me to the realization that I will only love him more and more.

" Will you be mine?" He asks. " Will you let me trademark you and let every man and woman in the world know that you belong to me? Maya Hart, I'll ask you a simple yet terrifyingly complex question, 'cause I'm only going to buy one of these damn rings. Will you marry me?"
