Hi! Here's another chapter of the New Year's arc
I want to thank y'all for continue reading my story and reviewing after all this time, it really really means a lot !
I hope you like the chapter is shorter than the previous one and it hasn't have ships BUT there's Rilaya friendship :)
-What th..?-a voice, which belonged to someone who had just saw Riley and Zay kissing, whispered low enough for no one to hear it.
The voice belonged to Josh who had witnessed not one but two kisses in a row that night.
He was trying to find Riley to tell her about Lucas and Maya but then he found her with Zay and he saw them just in time for the kiss. He decided not to interrupt and took a step back still in shock.
-Josh! Wait please!-Maya, who had just saw Josh standing in the hallway said.
-Maya, I don't want to talk to you right now-he said leaving. She followed him.
-Just let me explain okay?
-Okay, fine. Can you explain me why were you kissing my niece's boyfriend? Or maybe you can explain me why I just saw my niece kissing that other Texan guy.
-He's not her boyfr-she started but stopped when she realized what Josh had just said-you saw your what kissing who?!
-Riley, I just saw Riley kissing…I don't know his name…That Texan guys…I think he's friends with Lucas…his name's like Jay or…
-Zay?! Oh my god you saw Riley kissing Zay?-Maya said almost laughing
-Yeah…what the hell is going on Maya?
-Okay…there's a lot of things you don't know…Umm…where do I begin…
-How about you tell me why you were kissing Riley's boyfriend
-He's not her boyfriend. They're not dating. They did date for a day but things didn't work out and they stayed as friends. I…I have feelings for Lucas…I've always had them actually…since the beginning but I stepped back because I wanted Riley to have the chance and I don't know..we went to Texas and Riley found out that I like Lucas and I think she kind of set us up and I don't know how but we ended alone on a campfire and we almost kissed but I didn't want to hurt Riley so I told Lucas that nothing could ever happen between us. Then when we got back I told Riley what had happened and she told me that she didn't like Lucas anymore but then I found out that she did, so I told Lucas that I didn't like him so he could be with Riley and that's when I ran into you. And that's why I was upset.
-Because you were hiding your feelings for him again
-Well…yeah…
-And that's why Lucas and Riley were at Topanga's that afternoon
-Yeah…I guess they've been hanging out since then
-And they're not together.
-No…Apparently Riley actually wants Lucas and me to be together and she doesn't have feelings for him anymore…and considering what you saw I think she might have feelings for Zay. I need to talk to her about everything though…
-So…you never liked me
-I did. But…I guess that I used you as a way to try to forget Lucas but…
-But it didn't work
-I'm so sorry Josh, I'm an awful person, I just…
-You're in love with him
-No. I like him
-You're in love with him
-I like him. That's all.
-Look Maya, you're a really cool girl and you deserve to be happy and if Lucas is the one you want to be with him you should be with him but…
-I need to talk to Riley first, I know
-Yeah…
-So…you kissed huh?-he said with a smirk
-Josh…
-Now tell me the truth…who kisses better him or me? Because I got to say you hurt my pride when you ran away after I kissed you.
-Stop it!-she said blushing
-I'm kidding, I'm kidding-he said laughing-I have enjoyed the time we've spent together though…I hope we can still do that.
-I'd really that. Thank you for understanding everything.
Meanwhile, back at the stairs.
-Zay…-Riley whispered after their kiss ended-Wha…
-You don't have to say anything…Now you know how I feel and I don't want to pressure you…I just want you to know that I'm here-he said standing up-Happy New Years Riley.
Riley kept seated there, still processing what just happened when Maya approached her.
-Hi Riley
-Hi Peaches!-she said with smile-Hey…I saw what happened with Josh…I wanted to talk to you but…
-Yeah me too, I've kissed you Riles
-What? What? What did you just say?-Riley asked nervous
-That I've missed you, what else could I Zay?-Maya said trying not to laugh, which was really hard when Riley widened her eyes and got so nervous that she started to stutter.
-Wh-what? Wh…what?
-Riley? Are you okay? I've said that what else I could say. Are you feeling okay?
-Y-yes, yes, I'm perfect I just…I heard wrong…
-Oh okay, well open your ears because you need to hear what I'm about to tell you-Maya said sitting next to her.
-What? What do you have to tell me? What do you know?
-Well…I've just heard that someone saw Zay kissing a girl.
-What!? Who? Did they tell you who?
-Well, they didn't say the name…
Riley sighed in relief.
-But they described the girl to me though.
Riley felt like she was about to faint. Maya was enjoying the moment so much.
-The girl was pretty, smiley, with beautiful brown eyes and…
-and?!
-And she was blonde
-WHAT?! No, no she wasn't, she was brunette, I think she would be brunette, not that I would know but…yeah definitely brunette.
-Really? Why are you so sure?
-I don't know…I just picture Zay like a brunette type.
-A brunette like you?
-What? No, why would you say that?
-I don't know…maybe because Josh saw you kissing Zay!
-WHAT?! He saw us?!
-You kissed Zay! You and Zay? When did that happen?
-I don't know…he was really mean to me a few weeks ago and I hated that and then suddenly he came out of nowhere and he said all these beautiful things about me and he kissed me and…and…
-And you kissed him back, didn't you?
-I…yeah…I guess…
-Oh my god Riley! You kissed him back!-Maya said excited.
-Shhh, someone can hear you.
-I don't care! Zay kissed you and you kissed him back…did you like it?
-I didn't hate it…-Riley said biting her lip
-Oh my god you totally liked it!
-Let's stop talking about me! You kissed my uncle Josh, you're not one to talk.
-Okay that's not fair, he kissed me you know that you saw us and you were about to kiss Lucas.
-Yeah but that was because we wanted to make you…-She stopped herself before she would reveal the truth.
-Make me what? Huh…jealous? You mean jealous? You wanted to make me jealous? I think that you wanted to make me jealous-Maya said. Riley tried to find an excuse but Maya talked again-You don't have to look for an excuse, Lucas told me.
-You talked to Lucas!-Riley said excited-you two actually talked?
-Yeah…about that…I need to tell you something…and I really hope that you don't get mad at me but…umm…-she touched her lips remembering the moment and trying to find the right words.
-Oh my god-Riley said noticing what her friend had just done and realizing what had happened-you totally kissed!
-How…how did you know?-Maya said embarrassed.
-It's so obvious! You kissed Lucas!
-Well yeah…but he kissed me-she said biting her lip.
-And you kissed him back!
-Yeah…
-Did you like it?!
-I didn't hate it…yeah, I liked it-she said smiling at Riley's reaction
-Oh my god FINALLY! I'm so happy for you Maya I mean it-she said hugging her friend.
-So…you don't have feelings for him anymore?
-No Maya, I swear to you, I don't have feelings for him. I'm so happy for you guys. You know…there may be something in my life right now that can change things from what it was supposed to be…
-Oh you mean something like…-Maya said and started to make kissing noises to her-Oh I'm Zay, Riley kiss me please!
-Stop it! Do you want me to go like I'm Lucas, Maya kiss me, oh look I'm Josh, Maya kiss me!-she said making noises too-You're totally a heartbreaker
-Shut up! I just talked to Josh and he totally understood. He kind of saw us…Lucas and me…just like he saw you and Zay…so he was confused.
-Oh my god Josh saw you?-Riley said. Then she realized what Maya had said-Oh my god uncle Josh saw us?! He's going to tell my father! I need to talk to him-she said standing up.
-Wait Riley! I thought we could spend some time together.
-Ha! You'd wish, you, miss, need to go right now and talk to Lucas, I'm pretty sure he's waiting.
-But it's New Year…I love you Pumpkin, I want to spend time with you-Maya said trying to convince Riley.
-Yeah, I don't buy it. You have to talk to him, you owe him that, and you owe that to you too. It's time to be happy peaches. Tell him that you're in love with him
-I like him
-You're in love with him
-I like him Riley.
-Whatever, just go talk to him
-Uggh….fine! I'll go…God you're so bossy since you have a boyfriend.
-Zay's not my boyfriend!
-Yet-she winked at Riley-Happy New Year pumpkin
-Happy New Year peaches.
