I wanted to have the whole Joshaya rooftop along with what is happening with Riley and the rest of them while it's going on.
Josh tried his hardest not to tell Maya right there at the concert how he was feeling. He almost did twice when he seen her look at him during what he was now calling their song. Before the song ended he knew he needed to get to Zay's and change and make sure Zay and Lucas had arranged everything else for him.
Well more like Zay arranging it and Lucas go right behind him. They had the task of setting up the food and putting out the flowers since he had bought the twinkle lights setting them up already and he was going to fix the flowers how he wanted them.
He gets there with the guys lounging on the couch watching tv. "Get out!" He shouts at them grabbing his suit he luckily brought with him putting it in the bathroom and going to the roof fixing the flowers how he wanted them.
Only growling out of frustration at one flower that refused to lay down like he wanted it to.
He takes it takes it back downstairs with him figuring he could just hold it and give it to Maya when he sees her. He shakes his head hitting both Lucas and Zay with pillows since they were still sitting on the couch making a mess.
They laugh at him telling him to relax it wasn't like he was going to propose to Maya. He threatens them as he goes to shower hoping they were out of the way and his hair corporates with him.
He quickly showers getting dressed fixing his hair only twice. He hears the car pull up and runs to the living room to see if the guys cleaned up. Lucky for him they did and are nowhere to be seen. He hides when he hears the door open and gulps wiping his sweaty hands on his pants when he sees Maya's smiling face.
He hears Riley telling her to go ahead without her and waits as Maya walks by heading for the roof. He follows and nearly screams when Riley taps his shoulder. "Jeez Riley give a guy a heart attack why don't you?"
She shakes her head gesturing for him to go as he sees Zay walking that way. Riley tells him she got it and nearly tackles Zay making josh laugh as he thanks her heading to the roof.
"Hey Riles look..." Maya starts to say seeing him in the doorway with the single lily in his hand. "Sorry not Riley." He nervously chuckles walking on the roof more. She hadn't said anything and he was taking that as a good sign to hand her the flower.
"So..." he nervously says tripping over his own feet as Maya still hadn't said anything making him more nervous than ever. He sees her shiver and takes off his jacket draping it over her arms slightly rubbing them.
He scratches his head and sees Lucas in the doorway with their dinner. He grabs it closing the door seeing Maya smelling the flower and sitting down. "So you want something to drink? I have a couple of sodas or wine I didn't know which you would prefer?"
He tells her holding up the sodas and wine showing her. "I have glasses and plastic cups but maybe I should have got us some hot cocoa since it's cold. Am I talking to much I feel like I am?" Maya smiles shaking her head at him telling him no he wasn't.
"She speaks." He jokes getting a small smile from her. "Boi.." Maya starts to say blushing before correcting herself. "Josh what is this?" He clears his throat grabbing her hand and taking her by surprise.
"I'm doing what I should have done along time ago."
"What are you guys doing?" Lucas asks as he walks out the house seeing Zay and Riley parked across the street with binoculars. "I'm trying to see what's happening Riley is waiting hoping Maya doesn't call asking her to rescue her." Zay tells him looking out the binoculars pointing at Riley.
Lucas looks at her as she gives him a little wave unlocking the Jeep so he could get in. He gets in and looks over at the house as they wait in silence to see what was going to happen. They sat in silence until they hear the rustle of a bag looking at Zay who was still looking at the house but now eating chips.
He mumbles something spraying Riley with chips. "What?" Riley asks wiping herself of crumbs. "I said you think he gonna make a move tonight?" He tells her once again spraying her with chips. "Gross Zay! And I don't know hopefully he opens up that's all any girl really wants."
Lucas looks at her seeing she was looking at him but turns away. He sighs leaning his head on his hand looking out the window he still didn't know what he was going to do about her yet. "Crap cops!" Zay spits out the chips making Riley yell out punching him since she got most of it on her.
"Act natural." Zay tells her rolling down his window. "Evening officer." Zay tells them smiling out the window. "Babineaux is that you?" "Patty?!" Zay shouts opening his door getting out hugging the cop.
Riley and Lucas share a look when they see Zay and the cop laughing before she leaves and Zay gets back in. "Probably wondering what that was all about?" Zay says looking at them. "Honestly Zay I'm not sure we want to know." Lucas tells him making Riley laugh.
"What should you have done?" Maya asks feeling her heart beating faster than she ever thought possible. He looks at her and she sees him chewing his lip a nervous habit all the Matthews had apparently.
"I should have told you how I felt for you." Maya looks away saying a silent oh getting ready for his I don't want a someday anymore speech. "I meant feel not felt." He tells her leaning across the table turning her head back to look at him.
She smiles as he chuckles softly scratching his head as his cheeks heat up making Maya's too. He doesn't say anything and Maya found it quite adorable watching him have a not so silent conversation with himself since she can hear him saying be cool Josh.
"How about we eat first." Maya suggests earning a wide smile from him as he grabs plates for their tacos. They start eating and all you can hear is the sound of their crunching and the passing cars. "This is weird right?" Josh tells her putting down his taco and looking at her.
Maya lightly laughs putting her own taco down and smiling at him. "Yeah it kind of is. More so because I don't know what this is?" He looks at her and she bites her lip before continuing.
"Is this a date? Or you finally telling me that you will never love me because honestly I rather get that speech via email." Josh begins to laugh making Maya frown at him. "I'm glad I amuse you." She tells him sarcastically getting up just as Josh stops laughing grabbing her hand.
"Wait a minute Hart. I'm not laughing at you I'm laughing at the fact you might be the only person in the world to want that." She looks at him confused and then laughs along with him when he repeats what she said.
"So what is this then?" She asks feeling her stomach flip flopping and making her queasy as she sits back down but never letting go of Josh's hand. "I guess you could say this is sort of a date." He tells her with a shrug of his shoulders. "At least I'm hoping after we talk."
Maya smiled as she waited for Josh to say something since she couldn't really move from his words. She finally got what Riley meant when she said she knew she was completely in love when she was weak in the knees. And Maya knew in that moment if she stood she would fall right over.
"So what did you want to talk about?" She asks clearing her throat. Josh smiles at her and she gripped the sleeves of his jacket trying not to get up and kiss him. "Okay well I've been thinking a lot about our fight we had and I should have just been honest back then and not waited until I heard about your job offer.."
"What?" Maya interrupts looking at him knowing everything that was happening was to good to be true.
Riley tried to stifle her laugh after everytime she touched Zay's ear with the furry pen she carried in her bag. He would scratch at his ear but never question it making Riley continue. "Okay let's go I can't see anything and it's been thirty minutes." Zay whines as Riley grabs her phone.
"Okay so what do you want to do? It's not like we can go back inside the house." Lucas tells him as he leans forward from the backseat. "You guys want to go to a glow in the dark party?" Riley asked putting her phone down and laughing when Zay starts chanting party party.
"Let's go." Lucas tells her as she starts the car and they drive away. "So who's party is it?" Zay asks as Riley stops at a stoplight. "My friend Teddy is throwing it. He likes to throw theme parties on random days." Zay asks if that's the guy she met with his boyfriend who she kicked in the head.
"Yes don't remind me I still feel bad." Riley laughed as Zay turns to look at Lucas. "Dude you should have seen her it was hilarious." He turns back around and Riley could see Lucas watching her from the rear view mirror.
"Should we have invited the sex geniuses?" Zay asks laughing at his own question. "Riley do you know where you're going?" Lucas asks touching her shoulder as she parked the Jeep at an abandoned house. "I sure do let's go."
"Is that why you did all this? Because you found out I could be leaving?" Maya asked standing up pulling Josh's jacket tighter against her body. "No that's not why." Josh tells her standing up moving to her side of the table. "Then what? Why did you do all this?" Maya asks gesturing around to the rooftop.
Josh doesn't say anything making Maya shake her head and walk towards the roof door. "Now or never Matthews." Josh whispers to himself. Right as Maya touched the door knob opening it his next words stop her from walking out.
"Because I'm in love with you!" He shouts as she turns around looking at him. "I don't know why i hid from it for so long but I do." He moves closer as Maya walks towards him. "Actually that's a lie I do know why I hid from it." He tells her. "I didn't think I could live up to your expectations of me."
"What expectations? I never had any?" Maya tells him as she stands in front of him. "I didn't think I could live up to the Boing you built up in your head of me. I always thought if we tried you would see that the Boing you love isn't the Boing I am."
Maya begins to laugh confusing him. "I'm sorry it's just hard to take you seriously when you call yourself Boing." Josh chuckles nodding his head. "Besides that's my job anyways." Maya tells him grabbing his hand. "So you believe me that I love you?" He asks intertwining their fingers.
"Yes I do But you got one thing wrong." He tilts his head looking at her making her smile. "I never had any expectations of you I just wanted to be with you to get to know you. The you you are and not the Boing you think I created in my head."
He lightly chuckles cupping her cheek feeling his heart race as she leans into it. "Would it be to soon to asks to kiss you?" Maya nods her head making him pout before he kisses her cheek smiling. "Kiss me Boing." Maya whispers as he pulls back looking at her.
"Anything for you gorgeous." She blushes as Josh cups her cheeks rubbing his thumbs over her cheekbones and then kissing her. Maya gasps making him smile into the kiss as she stands on her tiptoes wrapping her arms around his neck.
"That was..." Josh starts to say when they finally pull apart. "Toe curling." Maya whispers lightly laughing. He kisses her once more before they head back to the table. "You know you didn't have to do all this." Maya tells him as he kisses her hand handing her a cup of wine.
"I know but I wanted to talk to you and I figured the only way I could do that was this." Josh gestures around the roof. "I can't believe you remember what my favorite flower is?" Maya tells him grabbing her lily off the table.
"Are you kidding don't you remember the fake wedding you and Riley made me participate in? You told me as your future husband I needed to know your favorite flower." Maya giggles remembering that day too. "You know that just shows you have been just as in long with me as I was with you."
Josh looks at her with a confused expression making her smile. "We were seven and you were ten." Josh turns a deep red as he asks Maya if she wanted more wine making her laugh.
"Dude this party is awesome! Look at my shirt? Look at my teeth?!" Zay tells Lucas as he laughs at the fact Zay was already drunk. He held onto him as they walked around the house looking at the different designs they had in each room.
When they first arrive Lucas thought Riley had gotten them lost until she knocked on the door and all you seen was the different colors inside. "Hey you seen Riley?" Lucas asks Zay as they stop at the bar in the living room.
"Nope last i seen she was with that teddy guy why? Ready to tell her you love her?" Zay asks nudging him. Lucas rolled his eyes as he chugged the rest of his beer before downing the shot he got himself.
"Dude I don't love her. I'm not entirely sure what I feel for her. I mean everyone seems to think I do but.." he pauses doing another shot with Zay. "I'm just not sure anymore. On one hand yeah she is great she's an amazing girl person. But is she the one for me or am I only seeing her that way because everyone says it?"
Zay looks at him weirdly as Lucas shakes his head grabbing two more shots for them. "I don't know. I don't think I know what I'm saying anymore." He clinks his shot with Zay and downs it walking with Zay to the dance floor not seeing that Riley heard what he was saying.
"So what if this plan to get me here didn't work out?" Maya asks Josh as they rotated inside when the wind started picking up. "Well I had one backup plan and that involved kidnapping." Josh tells her as Maya widens her eyes at him. "But I knew I couldn't do that so I found the next best thing."
He gets up heading to his room coming back with a box. "Open it." He tells he as Maya smiles lifting the lid. She gasps as she pulls out what was inside. "The little mermaid and Twix?" She holds it to her chest before setting it down and kissing him.
"I can get use to this." He whispers when they pull apart. Maya tells him me too but moves back a little. "What?" Josh asks holding her hand. "What about the giant elephant in the room?" He tilts his head and Maya sighs.
"Are someday fight?" Josh smiles pulling Maya back to him. "Ferret I don't know how I can make this any clearer than to just say it again. I love you and I want a someday especially if it's with you." Maya blushes kissing him as she cups his cheek. "What if I take the job here?"
Josh takes a deep breath and smiles at her. "Then I would follow you. I just got my someday I'm not giving it up."
