Maya couldn't help smiling as she watched Josh help out with her and Riley's Saturday class. Riley was trying to finish up all the preparations for her Prince Charming luncheon. So she enlisted Josh to help since technically he still owed her for her dad stalking her all the day before.

He was reluctant but Maya batted her eyes at him and he couldn't help but say yes. Which according to Riley was his weakness and they both knew it.

Maya turned her easel so she was facing the bakery more sketching a picture of Josh and his fan club. He had four little girls and their mothers all surrounding him as he sat and decorate a cake. Maya shakes her head chuckling forgetting that Josh was an excellent baker.

Although not as amazing as Riley who was the champion in their bake offs.

"Your boyfriend seems to be very popular." Maya turned seeing William mom smiling at her. "Yeah." Maya says looking back at Josh who was looking at her. She smiles wider when he winks making her cheeks heat up.

"I seen William isn't here today is he alright?" Maya asked concerned for her favorite little student slash apprentice. "Yes he's alright just came down with the chicken pox. I thought I get him a cupcake since he was so upset he couldn't come draw with his favorite teacher."

Maya smiled holding up her finger looking through her bin of supplies. She smiles when she spots what she was looking for. "This should make him feel better." She hands over a sketchbook along with a picture she drew for the little boy. William mom smiled hugging Maya as they pull apart with Maya smiling at Josh again.

"You two will make wonderful parents one day." Maya widened her eyes as she waves bye to her. Kids? Her and Josh weren't really dating but Maya couldn't help smiling and picturing a little girl with her features and a little boy that resembled Josh.

"Whatcha drawing there ferret?" Maya jumps making Josh laugh as he stands next to her easel. She smiles looking at him before noticing what she was sketching along with his photo. In her trance she drew the little girl and boy she was daydreaming about.

"Nothing just doodling." She says covering up the picture. Josh narrows his eyes smiling at her. "Uh huh well let's see. You know I love any and all artwork by you." Maya smiled feeling her cheeks heat up. "It's not finished yet." She tells him standing in front of it as Josh stands in front of her.

"I have ways of making you talk Hart." Maya shakes her head laughing as Josh holds up his hands getting ready to tickle her. "Okay okay okay I give." Maya laughs as Josh smiles holding out his hands. "Oh I meant I give up on the tickling, I'm still not showing you my sketch."

Maya shakes her head smiling as Josh tries to give her his puppy dog eyes. "Nice try Boing. I see your fan club is still here." Maya nods at the ladies and their daughters who were smiling at him. "You jealous gorgeous cause you know I only have eyes for my ferret." Maya felt her heart quicken when he wraps his arms around her.

"Oh really?" Maya says turning in his arms so they were face to face. Josh nods smiling at her as he cups her cheek. Maya let out a small gasps as she closed her eyes feeling his breath on her face. His lips were close to hers when they get interrupted again.

She lightly laughs when she hears Josh groan as she opens her eyes. She knew he felt the same way she did. They were always so close to having their actual first real kiss but something or someone would get in the way. She was determined to kiss him and was tempted to take him into Riley's office just so she could.

"Your public awaits." Maya whispers as he lightly chuckles rubbing her cheeks. "Want to get dinner tonight?" He ask with his hands still on her cheeks. Maya not trusting her voice bites her lip nodding her head. Josh kisses her cheek as he walked back towards his fans.

Maya smiles as she watches him walk away thinking tonight she was definitely going to kiss him.


Lucas gathered up his paperwork trying to rush out the door. Tonight was his party and he was itching to get to it. Who was he kidding he was itching to see Riley again and he knew it. Even Pam knew it as she drops off his suit and the flowers he asked her to get for him.

"Anything else?" She asked smiling softly at him as he turned off his laptop. He chuckles softly shaking his head. "No you should get out of here so you can go get ready. I'm almost done." She nods waving and telling him good luck as she walks out his office.

Once he finished he heads home putting the flowers in water before heading to shower. He comes out smoothing out his suit when he sees his dad sitting on his couch. "Dad? What are you doing here?" He watches as his dad gets up walking towards him glancing at the flowers.

"So I had an interesting talk with Mr. Montgomery today." Lucas rolls his eyes knowing he was going to hear from his father sooner or later. He was sure he would have called the moment he left Sara standing in his office alone. "I bet so what he say?" Lucas asked continuing to grab his stuff so he could leave.

"Don't get smart what is this I hear about you turning down Sara's caterer for your guys party?" Lucas knew he shouldn't but he couldn't help laughing out loud as his dad folded his arms across his chest looking at him waiting for his response.

"Dad this is my party not our party I don't know how she got it in her head we were throwing this party together but we aren't. I got everything together I hired the caterer and where to have it. Not Sara she doesn't even work for me."

Lucas sighs as he sees his dad had on his work face where he was pretending to listen but really wasn't. "Lucas you two are engaged you..." He stops when Lucas holds up his hand. "Dad we are not engaged. We aren't even dating I don't like her. Once you and the Montgomery understand that the better."

He walks out after that grabbing the flowers for Riley heading towards his car. He knew that wasn't the end to the conversation since he was sure his dad was going to do damage control on his behalf. He didn't know why he wasn't interested in Sara and he didn't want to combine their companies no matter what his dad thought.

Lucas sighed walking into the building that held the party for his employees. He tried to put his dad and Sara at the back of his mind but he couldn't help searching and sniffing around for Sara. He was sure she'd pop up and ruin his plans.

He forgets about both of them when he sees Riley in a light pink dress. He stops in his tracks watching as she smiled talking with Pam. He smiles as he smoothed out his suit holding his flowers in his hand walking towards her. "Evening ladies." He says as they both turn and look at him.

"Oh I see Paul over there I'm just gonna..." Pam says as Riley and Lucas stare at each other. "Hi." Lucas smiles as Riley tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. "Hi." He holds out the flowers to her saying hi again as she shakes her head at him. "Lucas I thought we talked about this?"

Lucas nodded knowing technically he did but he couldn't help it. "What it's just flowers I bring them for everyone." Riley gives him a look before shaking her head as she puts the flowers down. "Well as much as I want to stay here I better go mingle." Lucas tells Riley as he grabs her hand kissing it.

He smirks when he hears her gasps and watches as her cheeks turn red. "Well I better go then." He tells her winking as she shakes her head slightly pushing him. He chuckles as he goes and talks with the guys from the mailroom. He looks towards Riley seeing her smelling the flowers he got her.

He smiled as he called over Pam coming up with a perfect plan.


Riley tried to ignore the shiver that ran down her spine from Lucas. She knew without having to look at him that he was staring at her. She steals a glance seeing him smiling at her. She looks away turning back to the food setting it on plates making sure there was enough.

She tried ignoring him along with Charlie who kept smiling and shaking his head at her. She knew he was going to tell Maya all about tonight if Lucas insisted on staring at her instead of mingling with his guests.

She sighs when she feels her phone buzzed and knew exactly who it was. She excuses herself walking out the building standing on the patio. "Dad I'm working." She shakes her head as she groans listening to his interrogation.

"Dad I am working and it's not professional of me to be on my phone when I should be working." Riley rolled her eyes as she held her phone out letting the setting sun listen to her dad and his crazy ramble.

"What? What do you mean don't ignore yo... are you?" She looks around spotting him and her uncle Eric who waves at her. "Unbelievable. Dad this is getting out of hand you are moving into stalker territory and you leave me with no choice."

She smiles when she hangs up on her dad dialing her mom's number talking with her. She was definitely going to kill Josh after this craziness. She couldn't believe her dad and her uncle Eric those two were something else.

She shakes her head as she walked back into the building with Charlie offering her a glass of wine. "Everything alright?" Lucas asked placing his hand on her arm causing her skin to become peppered in goosebumps. She sees him smirk when she moves back nodding her head.

She didn't know why he was having such an effect on her. No other guy was able to do that in the short time she had known them. "Y...Yes everything is good." She mentally curses herself for stuttering.

"Well I'll let you get to it then." He goes to walk away but gestures for her to come closer. "The food is amazing by the way just like I knew it would be." He whispers as Riley bites her lip trying not to give in and kiss him.

"Well I'm very professional." She tells him putting emphasis on professional pushing him back with her hand. He chuckles as he bows walking back towards his employees. Riley playfully punches Charlie as they continue to serve everyone while ignoring Lucas stares.

"Well boss I think tonight was a great success." Charlie says as they pack up their supplies. Riley smiled as she handed him the last empty tray in the van. They had handed out a ton of business cards and already had two parties the next month.

"Yeah it was and thanks Charlie. Just remember drive for about an hour around before heading back to the bakery." He nods saluting her as he drives away. Riley shakes her head as she sees her dad following even though her mom assured her he had went home. She heads back inside helping the rest of the staff they hired clean up.

"Congratulations." She turns seeing Lucas smiling with his suit jacket draped over his arm. Why does he have to look so hot. She thought to herself before shaking her head. "I thought you left already?" Riley ask hoping he had but secretly happy he didn't even if she didn't want to admit it to herself.

"Nope I was waiting." He tells her still with that same smirk on his face. "Waiting for w...what?" Riley stutters when he moves closer to her brushing her hair away from her face. "Come with me." He tells her taking her hand in his.

She looks at him and reluctantly puts her hand in his as he heads out to the patio. She gasps seeing he had a blanket with a couple of candles lit surrounding it. It was romantic looking especially since the moon was bright shining down on them.

She steps back when Lucas pulls out a bottle of wine and two plates of food. "What is all this?" She ask hugging her arms. "Well I think it's pretty obvious don't you?" Lucas tells her as he puts his jacket over her. Riley shook her head as she steps back making Lucas chuckle. "What?" He says still moving towards her as she continues backing up.

"I thought we agreed to remain professional? This is not being professional." Riley tells him as she steps back hitting the wall behind her. "Technically you said we had to remain professional while we worked together. But..." he looks inside and smiles. "We don't anymore so nothing is really stopping me."

Riley swallows trying to ignore the rapid beating of her heart. "Stopping you from what?" She whispers as she sees him looking at her lips. "From kissing you." Riley shook her head as Lucas moved closer. "And what if I don't want you to kiss me?" Riley tells him knowing that was a lie.

"Something tells me you do want me to kiss you." He cups her cheek as she tries to move away. "Something tells me I..." She gets cut off when he moves even closer as she feels his breath on her face. "I'm going to count to ten and if you really don't want me to then I won't." He whispers as she gulps closing her eyes.

"10."


Josh pushed Andrew's hand as they played Mortal kombat. He checked the time making sure he had enough time to shower and get everything ready for his dinner date with Maya. "Dude you just pulled my spine out and your smiling. That's twisted." Andrew tells him shaking his head.

Josh chuckles shaking his head not wanting to admit that he was thinking about Maya in that moment. He checks the time again ready to kick Andrew out so it didn't smell like guys. "What the hell." Josh says covering his face when Andrew begins taking his photo.

Andrew just laughs as he puts his phone down killing Josh's character in the game. "Cheater." Josh says as they head to his kitchen grabbing waters for the both of them. "Dude water where's my beer?"

Andrew goes to the fridge opening just to close it and smile widely at Josh who looks away from him. "Oh I get it. Date night with the little misses huh?"

He chuckles as Josh gives him a look shaking his head. "So what if I am having date night. She's my girlfriend it's allowed." Andrew nods as Josh drinks his water eyeing him suspiciously. "You talked to Riley didn't you?" Andrew shrugs before he starts humming the wedding march to himself.

"Okay what?" Josh ask pausing the game and turning to look at him. Andrew smiles holding up his finger before running out the front door. Josh looks at him weirdly when he returns with a box holding it out to him.

"What's it going to do? It better not be another one of those pictures you took of Maya and I." Andrew laughed saying he would know what it was if he opened the box. Josh opened the box looking at the contents weirdly and then at Andrew. "It's bears." Josh says pulling out one dressed as a painter.

"Actually they're build a Bear bears." Andrew tells him as Josh looks at them. He shakes his head as he sees underneath the smock the bear was wearing was another shirt with the picture of him and Maya sleeping. "Dude you got problems."

"Oh you haven't seen the best part." Andrew says ignoring Josh's comment. He presses the bears paw and it says I love you Boing. "Is that... did you...is that Maya's voice?" Josh asked feeling his cheeks heat up from hearing Maya say she loved him.

"Yeah Farkle hooked me up. He has recordings of her that he used." Andrew laughs saying the other bear says I love you Maya in Josh's voice. Josh shook his head as he places the bears in the box closing the lid. He would have to show Maya who he was sure would find the bears hilarious.

"Andrew you need help. And you got to go I have to get this place ready." Josh tells him shooting him out the door. "Oh yeah can't propose to Sandra Dee with a dirty apartment now can we?" Josh punches his arm as he closes the door on him. He got to work cleaning the place up before he started cooking.

He sees the box with the bears and shakes his head before going and grabbing it. He smiles as he opens the box taking out the bear dressed like a painter and pressing the paw. He couldn't help smiling hearing Maya's voice saying she loved him again.

He left the one dressed like him in the box and set the other on the stool. He chuckles shaking his head everytime he looked up seeing the bear looking at him as he finished up.

He checked the time seeing it was passed six and still no Maya. He checks his phone and notices he didn't have any missed calls or texts from her either. He sighs softly tapping his fingers against the counter looking at his Maya bear.

"What do you think?" He looks at the bear before scratching his head. "You don't think that Ken doll is trying something on her do you?" He looked back at the bear as he debated with himself. "I'm turning into Riley." He tells himself before packing the food he made.

He drives down to the museum grabbing the food and going inside. He walks towards where Maya worked stopping when he spots Scott lighting some candles on her desk. "What's going on here?" Josh asked through gritted teeth.

Scott turns smiling at him as he lights the last candle. "Maya and I were just about to have a romantic dinner date. You see we were working and reminiscing about our past and well you know." Josh clenches his fist when he sees Maya walking towards them smiling when she sees him.

"Boing what are you doing here?" She asked looking at him as he puts the food down. Before he can say anything Scott beats him to it. "Oh I was just telling him how we were rekindling things." He throws his arm around her shoulder as Josh steps forward.

"Josh." Maya warns pinching Scott hard in the ribs. Josh ignores her as he gets ready to punch Scott. "Josh!" Maya shouts grabbing his hand pulling him to the front of the museum. Josh clenches and unclenches his fist pacing back and forth.

"Are you ready to calm down now?" Maya ask folding her arms across her chest staring at him. Josh looks at her weirdly as she starts smiling. "Don't give me that smile Hart. What was going on out there? Was what he said true?" Maya looked at him weirdly before pinching him in the arm.

"Ow what was that for?" He asked rubbing it as Maya frowned at him. "How could you think that? I told you it's you nobody else." Maya shouts.

"Ignore him Boing please?" Maya pleads as Josh started pacing again. "I'm trying he just makes it so hard to do just that."

Maya sighs as Josh looks at her pulling her to him. "I'm sorry." Josh whispers softly as Maya shakes her head at him. "What can I do to show you I'm sorry?" He tells her as he wraps his arms around her waist. Maya bites her lip looking around and then at him.

"Kiss me." Josh widens his eyes looking down at her.

"What?" Josh asked as Maya lightly laughs. "Kiss..." Josh cuts her off pulling her closer and kissing her in her favorite place.
