When they arrived at school Riley and Farkle were already there, waiting in the hallways.
-Lucas! Happy birthday!-Riley said hugging him.
-Thank you Riley
-Happy Birthday Freakface!-Farkle said hugging him too
-Thank you guys!
-So, how's your day going so far?
-Well, considering that I have to do whatever this girl here tells me, I guess is not going bad at all.
-Oh, you just wait and see-Maya said.
-Hey guys!-Zay said entering walking towards them with Sarah by his side.
Riley tried to avoid his look but of course it wasn't as easy as she wish. She then looked at Sarah, she knew that Zay and Riley had been together but she hadn't said anything to anyone and the pretty brunette wasn't sure if she was glad or not.
-My man! Happy Birthday Lucas!-Zay said patting Lucas' back, repeatedly.
-Thanks Zay, could you stop now please?-he said taking a few steps to the side.
-Happy birthday Lucas
-Thank you Sarah
Sarah nodded smiling and then looked at the rest of the group. An awkward silent invaded the ambiance. Everybody noticed that there was something going on between Riley, Zay and Sarah but nobody said anything. The bell was their savior; it was time to get the classes started.
Lucas had to admit that he had mixed feelings about the way the day was going. Maya had been very…merciful?, he wasn't sure if that was the correct word but the truth was that the only thing she had asked him to do was to carry her books, open some doors for her, get her something to eat or drink, things like that. On the one hand he was relieved because she wasn't being too harsh with him, but on the other hand he was kind of scared, he had the feeling that Maya had more planned than that. And he was right.
After school his friends asked him if he wanted to do something to celebrate his birthday but Maya answered for him saying that he was spending the day with her, and he wasn't going to complain.
On the way home, Lucas tried to get Maya to tell him where they were going to spend the day but Maya said that she would tell him once they'd arrive at Lucas'. His mom wasn't at home when they arrived. They went upstairs to his bedroom and sat on the bed. It was time for Maya's plan to really start.
-So…I'm sure you're dying to know where I'm going to take you for this great day that is your birthday.
-Yeah…
-Well, see…there's this place that can be rented, you know for parties and events, and an art gallery has rented it for the weekend and they're going to show some amateurs' paintings and I got us two tickets. It's going to be like a really fancy thing with catering and champagne and people from the greatest Art Galleries and yeah…that's pretty much it.
-That's it?
-Yeah…
-That's your big plan?
-Are you complaining?
-No, not at all. I'm just…I'm confused…Why make such a big deal with the whole "you have to do whatever I want for a day" if you just wanted me to go to an art exposition with you? I mean…I would have gone with you anyway. You thought that I wouldn't?
-Maybe…-she said shrugging.
-Maya…I'd love to go anywhere you like, I know how passionate you are about art and I love seeing you around things you like, of course I would've gone with you.
-Well, thank you Huckleberry.
He nodded satisfied.
-So…this is like a fancy event right? Should I wear a suit then?
-Actually…-she said with a smirk.
-Oh no…
-I have picked a very special outfit for you-she said smiling widely.
-This is it, right? This is the trick, what is the outfit? A ballerina dress? A dinosaur costume?
-Open your wardrobe and find out
-Oh god…
He stood up and opened his wardrobe. Inside, there was the same outfit he had worn for the Maddie and Tae concert back in Texas with his cowboy hat and cowboy boots included.
-You have got to be kidding me
-Why? Don't you like it? It's the outfit you wore in Texas that night at the campfire, the night that you said you liked me for the first time. I find it romantic-she said biting her lip.
-Yeah, it is, if we were going to Chubbie's but we're going to a fancy event Maya…Wait…what are you going to wear?
-Well my red dress of course, the one I wore to the semi-formal.
-What? You're going to look all gorgeous and elegant while I'm going to be like Woody from Toy Story?
-Oh come on! I thought you liked your Texan roots
-I do, I love them but…
-You know what Lucas? I'm not going to try to play nice. We have a deal and you have to do whatever I say. I say that you have to wear that for tonight and you're going to wear it. End of discussion.
-I hate you so much
-Nah, you don't. Pick me up at my house in an hour. See ya-she said giving him a kiss on his cheek before getting out of the room
He knew it, he knew that Maya's plan was bigger than carrying some books and opening some doors. She was good, really really good.
He had had no choice but to wear the outfit she had picked for him. An hour later he was at her house waiting for her to open the door.
-Hello Huckleberry, you look great-she said as she opened the door and got out the house.
-Yeah…I'm sure I do…Are you going to show me your dress so I can tell you how gorgeous you look? not that you don't look gorgeous like that of course.-he asked looking at her. She was wearing her big coat.
-You'll see it but once we arrived there. I want everyone to think that I'm going to be wearing an outfit like yours and then give them the surprise taking my coat off and showing them that I know how to dress for a fancy event
-I know how to dress for a fancy event too, but you won't let me.
-That's right…But look, I'm wearing my cowgirl boots. I'm doing it for you, I hope you appreciate it.-she said showing him her boots.
-Yeah…of course I do…thank you-he said rolling his eyes.
-Look, the cab's here-she said pointing at the car stopping in front of them
-Wow, I'm surprised we're not taking the subway so everyone can see me.
-I thought about it, but there's no subway to the place we're going.
-Well, at least I've had luck with something.
-Stop whining and get in the car, we're going to be late.
They arrived at the place fifteen minutes later. Maya paid for the cab in spite of Lucas' complains. They walked to the door and looked inside, everything was dark.
-Are you sure this is the place Maya?-Lucas asked
-Yeah, 100% sure, let's go-she said opening the door.
-Maya, there's no light in here…what…?-he started but was interrupted by a lot of people shouting at him while the lights turned on.
-Happy Birthdaaaay!-a lot of familiar voices said at the same time.
He had to take a moment to process everything. He looked around and saw a place that looked a lot like Chubbies, the place where he and his friends used to eat back at Texas and the place where the Maddie and Tae's concert took place a few months ago. Then he focused on the people looking at him , Riley, Farkle, Smarkle, Zay, Sarah, Darby, Yogi and the rest of his classmates, all wearing cowboy hats and boots and plaid shirts and jeans just like him. But not only there were his New York friends but friends from Texas too, Dylan, Asher, Vanessa even Pappy Joe and Cletus! And of course his mom, Cory and Topanga and Katy and Shawn. Everyone was there.
He turned to look at Maya and saw her taking her coat off. She was wearing the same outfit she used the day she won the bet. She took his hat, put it on and winked at him with a huge smile.
-Did you do this?
-Yeah, you wanted to know my plan? This is it! Happy Birthday Huckleberry
-But…why?
-I know how much you miss Texas so…since you can't go to Texas I thought of bringing Texas to you. Welcome to Chubbie's, we have the best ribs in the world here!-she said with her best Texan accent.
-You won the bet, you could take me anywhere you wanted, you could take me to a place you like and yet you make this…I know you don't like all this things…I just…why wouldn't you take me to a place you like?
He was trying to understand it but he couldn't believe that Maya had done all of this for him, it was so beautiful and so amazing, she had even called his old friends. She could've taken him to any place she liked and yet…
-See, Lucas…There's something you should know...-she said taking a step closer.-A place, where you're happy and I'm with you to see it, is a place I like.
He couldn't help but smile at her words.
-Now, if you tell anyone I've said such a cheesy thing I'll yank you up son-she said pointing at him.
He burst into laugh and she did the same.
-I love you-he said between chuckles.
Ohhhhh my gooood! Did Lucas just said what I think he just said? Yeaaah I think so hahaha How will Maya react?
I really hope you liked the chapter
I'm really excited with the path this story is following, I have all planned and there's going to be drama and kisses and crying and laughing and exams and a wedding and of course graduation! I really hope you keep reading and that you like the next chapters.
One thing though, there was a person that told me I was being racist for saying things like "cowboy/cowgirl outfit" and I just wanted to say that I'm sorry if anyone felt offended. I just say that to describe the typical outfit that cowboys wear you know like the ones that the cast wore in Girl meets Texas, it's not my intention at all to offend anyone. I'm sorry if I did. I just don't know how else to describe it.
Anyway that said hope you liked the chapter again and please let me know in the review what you think of the story so far and whatever you want to say :)
Thank you so much for reading!
