Previously...
As she was still in shock, Lucas got behind her and put her hair away to put the necklace on. Riley let him, letting the words sink in, staring at the necklace around her neck now. Then she smiled and turned around and before Lucas could say anything else she kissed him hard on the lips which soon ended up in their tongues battling with each other and fireworks exploding in their heads.
As they needed to breath they slowly broke apart and Riley smiled at Lucas, telling him, "I love you, too Lucas Friar."
In the car
´´Why did we already have to leave at 9?" Maya asked pouting, looking over the boy who just gave her the most perfect of all nights with taking her to the art gallery she was dreaming off and getting her an internship there which she still couldn´t believe really happened, but it did and she was so happy, she could just kiss him all day. Well, she could do that anyway, but still. He really was too good to be true for her. He was making her feel in a way that she never felt before and he said she was the best thing that happened to him.
Josh on the other hand chuckled while driving, taking the blonde´s hand. ´´The gallery closed at 9, Maya. We couldn´t just stay there and besides, you´ll be there all summer, remember?" He told her and Maya beamed at him, squeezing his hand.
"How could I forget that the most amazing and most handsome young man in the universe got me an internship there? I still want to know how you managed that, Josh. I mean that guy barely talks to anyone and you got him to offer me an internship. Either you´re a magician or-" She started, but Josh quickly cut her off.
"It´s not important how I got you the internship. Besides, most of it your drawings were doing, I am serious Maya. I just did a little bit convincing to get through to William Cooper and it was worth it." He said to her and squeezed her hand another time, before reculantly letting go to concentrate on the road. He wanted to hold hands with Maya, but he also did not want them to die in a car accident or anything. That wouldn´t be such a nice end to the perfect date.
Maya looked at him and rolled her eyes, not quiet believing him but she let it fall. She maybe would ask Mr. Cooper himself at some point. "We could´ve gone for a walk in the park." She suggested. "We still could. We still have like 45 minutes!" She really didn´t want this date to end and she did not understand why Josh wanted to go home so badly. Did he have second thoughts? Why didn´t he want to spend more time wit her?
Josh looked at Maya for a split second seeing her worrying face and sighed, taking her hand again. He wanted nothing more than spending more time with her, but he had to do something first or they might never have the chance to really be together. It had to be and Maya hopefully soon understood what he was talking about.
"Trust me, there´s nothing I want more than spend time with you, but I have to get something done before that and you have to trust me on this Maya. Do you trust me?" Josh asked her, looking quickly at her and then at his phone where there was a simply answer from his brother. Ok. We´ll be there. Josh had to do this and he knew that. Maya would hopefully get it soon, too even though the blonde seemed a bit hurt, but now really curious.
She looked at the Matthews boy who looked adorable to her in any situation, but especially when he was concentrating on the road and then smiled. He wouldn´t give up on her. Without him she wouldn´t have that internship, without him she wouldn´t have had her first kiss. Whatever he had to do was important and she´d trust him.
That´s why the blonde nodded, smiling at him and said to him, "Yes, Josh. I do trust you." Then she leaned in and kissed his cheek what made Josh blush a bit and Maya chuckled at him, leaning back in her seat and smiling. She was happy as long as she was with him no matter how much time they spend together.
"Besides, there will be many more dates to come where we can spend all the time we have. It´s just this one, trust me." Josh added. Trust me. He said that so many times and Maya did. There weren´t many people she trusted, but Joshua Gabriel Matthews was one of them. He wouldn´t have kissed back, if he didn´t like her, would he? He was the one who had asked her out. He was the one who wanted to end the long game sooner than planned.
A minute later Josh pulled up in front of the apartment building of the Matthews and both took a deep breath. Maya was already scared of just facing Mr. Matthews, but she did not know what was all waiting for her up there. Josh on the other hand knew and it made him sweat, but he knew that he had to do this.
So he went out of the car and opened the door for Maya, holding his hand out. She took it and climbed out of the car, never letting go of his hand. Josh gave her another kiss on the cheek and then asked her, "Are you ready?" He was freaking nervous. Even more nervous than while the car drive. Now it was actually getting real and he had to face something that he had never been so afraid of.
Maya smiled at him, took another deep breath and then nodded and replied, "Ready when you are."
A few minutes earlier in the Matthews apartment
I wrote Shawn already, but this is for Topanga and you, too. I need you guys all in your apartment around 9.20 the latest. Maya and I will arrive soon after. I need to talk to you. You´ll find out why as soon as we´re there.
Cory had looked at the message for a good 10 minutes after it arrived around 8 pm, not quiet understanding what Josh was trying to say. Why did he all need them in the apartment? Shawn had already talked to him, hadn´t he? He did not understand what was going on, but he trusted his little brother in this point and had told Topanga about it who was sitting besides him on the couch now since a solid 10 minutes. It was only 9.10 pm, but both of them were quiet curious and also a bit scared of what would happen.
"Why do you think Josh needs all of us here and so early?" Cory asked his wife and Topanga looked at him clueless. Normally she was the one finding things out really quickly, but this was even a mistery to her. Why would Josh want them to be here to wait up for them?
Before she could answer though the door went open and Shawn and Katy literally stormed in, looking around. "Are we late? Are they already there? Do you know what Josh wants?" Shawn asked, looking at his best friend and his wife at the couch, looking just as confused as them. As he saw that neither Josh or Maya were already there he sighed relieved and plopped down besides his best friend. "What is this all about?" He questioned Cory.
"We don´t know." Topanga replied. "Josh just sent Cory a message that we should all be here and wait up for them, because they would come soon."
"You guys got the message, too?" Riley suddenly asked, coming inside the living room along side Lucas, Zay and Farkle. Auggie was also coming from his room, sitting down on Topanga´s lap. The parents looked shocked at them. Not that Riley was there, but what was the rest doing here? Did all of them get a message from Josh. "Josh told me to come in the living room around 9.20 and to bring Lucas, Zay and Farkle, too." The Matthews girl added at their confused looks.
Everyone looked to the clock and saw that it was 9.20 now and they were getting impatient. "Why would Josh want us all to be here?" Katy asked confused like everyone else, but nobody had an answer to that. It was weird to all of them.
So the others just sat down, too staring at the clock and waiting for Josh and Maya to arrive, staring at the door. All of them wanted to know what was going on and couldn´t wait for them to come home now. Hopefully they wouldn´t be late. "I hate waiting." Zay mumbled in between and everyone shot him a look which made him just hold up his hands in defense.
The minutes ticked by painfully slow as suddenly the doorknob started turning and Shawn sprung up along side Cory. Everyone else stared at the door as it opened and Maya and Josh stood there, holding hands. Maya´s eyes went wide as the ones of the others and she looked alarmed at Josh. "Josh, what is this here? What did you do?" She asked him shocked while Josh just swallowed and squeezed her hand and then letting go.
"Just trust me." He told her and then walked up to the others while the blonde girl slowly followed while looking at the people she called her family who were staring at the two confused even though Riley was also squealing inside at them, holding hands.
"Why did you all want us to be here?" Farkle was the first one who asked Josh and Josh looked at him and then to the others who were also waiting for an answer, but he walked straight up to his brother and the man who he had always considered as his big brother. The man who also had been there since day one for him and that he really loved as his brother, but who was also the dad of his girl.
"I called you all here, because I wanted to talk to you. To the person who matter the most to Maya. To people who mean a lot to me, too because I want to do this right." Josh replied.
As nobody answered he looked at Shawn and Katy and continued, "Shawn, Katy. I know that Maya is your daughter and that you love her over everything and you don´t want her to get hurt, I don´t want her to get hurt either and I really like her. She is the best thing that ever happened to me and taking her to this date today just proved this to me more. She has the greatest capicity of love I´ve ever seen and that not last, because of her great parents and the great people she had in her life." He added looking at the others.
Then he looked at his brother and his sister in law. "Ma brother. I know that you care about Maya like your own daughter, because she hadn´t had a dad until to long ago and the same goes to you, Topanga. You always took care of her and you love her and I know how much she always meant to you since she went through that bay window to Riley. Also to you, Auggie, because she was like a second sister to you." Josh said to them and both parents looked quiet stunned at him even though Topanga and Katy were smiling.
Then he walked up to Farkle, Lucas and Zay and before he could say something Lucas stated, "If you hurt her, you´re going to be a dead man." The younger Matthews chuckled at that and nodded, knowingly.
"I don´t want to hurt her and I know that she has brothers, best friends found in you guys that I would never want to take away from her, but I want her to be a big part in my life, too if not my life." He said and Maya gasped in the background as she walked up to him, taking his hand. She couldn´t believe that he was doing this, but she was close to tears. He was so sweet and she didn´t know how she deserved him.
Then Josh turned to Riley who was already smiling like a goof and said to her, "Riles, I know it´s hard to share your best friend and you two have the greatest and closest friendship I´ve ever seen and I know that she is your sister and I am your uncle and that sounds really wrong , if you say it like that, but I want to be with Maya and I hope that I get your blessing as well."
Then he turned to the others and added, "I hope to get all of your blessings. That´s why I wanted you to be here. To do this right and to show you how much I care about Maya Penelope Hunter and the people she loves. I want to ask you for your blessings for us to date. To be girlfriend and boyfriend."
Everything was quiet for a minute while Josh waited for them to say something and Maya got quiet impatient, too while looking shocked at Josh who was giving her a smile. Nobody had ever done something like this for her, but Josh knew her. He knew how much these people meant to her and how she wanted them to be okay with Josh and her and he had asked them if they would be okay with it. He-
Instead of replying the people in the room just suddenly started clapping and Riley screamed, "YEEEESSSS!" While the others just clapped except for Shawn and Cory. Josh and Maya looked at each other and Josh swallowed, taking a deep breath and walking up to them with Maya.
But before he could say anything Shawn asked Maya, "Is that what you want?" Maya nodded, looking at Josh and squeezing his hand.
"Yes, it´s what I want dad." She replied and Shawn looked at Cory who shrugged his shoulder and looked at his best friend smiling. Shawn swallowed and then slowly nodded.
"Well, then okay. I mean, I always wanted to have some relation to the Matthews anyway." He said and the others laughed at that. "But you better treat her right, Boing or I have to explain to your parents why they lost a son." Josh looked a bit terrified at that, but Maya chuckled at that while Topanga looked at the clock and smiled at the two.
"It´s only 9.40." She said and Josh and Maya looked at each other.
"Bay window?" He asked her and looked at Riley who just smiled and nodded.
Maya chuckled and nodded, "Bay window right now."
So they went to Riley´s room and sat down on the bay window. As soon as they sat down there, they were just grinning at each other and Josh wanted to do nothing more than kiss the girl in front of him. It was perfect to him. All of this. It worked out and now he could be with her. With that thought he did really lean down, but Maya suddenly leaned away and he almost fell face down into her lap what made her laugh.
Josh looked in disbelief and hurt at her as she stated, "You might have asked my family, but you didn´t ask me yet to be your girlfriend." The Matthews boy looked in disbelief at her, but she was just grinning at him and he chuckled a bit.
Then he took her hands and asked her, "Maya Penelope Hunter, would you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?"
Maya´s grin went only wider as she wiped away a fake tear and nodded. "I´d love to, Joshua Gabriel Matthews." She replied and that was all that it took for Josh to finally lean down and kiss his new girlfriend. It was absolutely perfect for both of them, especially since their someday had finally started and everyone seemed to be okay with it.
A.N.: I know this was cheesy, but I still hope you liked it.

I hope you guys liked it! :)
