Someone asked me if I could write a multi-chaptered Joshaya story. So, I'm turning this one into a chapter story, but it will have only about six chapters.
Enjoy.
A month has passed since the couple got together. The only people that knew about their relationship was Shawn and Katy, who would sometimes supervise them on their date. However, a few people were starting to get suspicious, mainly Riley.
Her suspicions started when Maya suddenly stopped doing homework with their group of friends. Her excuse was she finished it before they would get together. When asked to study, she'd say she already had about an hour before.
In reality, Maya had actually studied and did her homework with Josh at her apartment. They wanted their relationship to be a secret from others. So far they have done a good job at it.
As of now the two were at Topanga's cafe in a corner booth. They each were studying for a test while Katy was starting to close up the place. The lovely couple were asking each other questions while feeding each other food in between.
A few minutes before closing, a beautiful old woman with very curly brown and gray hair strolled inside. She glanced at the couple, who paid her no attention, then continued on her way until she sat at the bar. Katy came over to her after a few seconds. "What would you like?"
The old woman thought for a second before answering, "Just a coffee. I don't want to make you do anymore work than you have to."
"It's no problem!" Katy insisted as cheerfully as she could. "Besides, I have another load of dishes to do and I'm waiting until my daughter and her boyfriend finish eating before I do."
The old woman turned her chair around toward the couple. "That pretty blonde girl is your daughter?"
"Yes, ma'm."
She continued to stare longingly at Maya. "Then I guess she's going to be my granddaughter." She turned to face the confused Katy and outstretched her hand for her to shake. "I'm Virna, Shawn's stepmother. I'm sure he's told you all about me since you two are getting married in a month."
"He did." Katy agreed as she began a new pot of coffee. "And he said he's not sure if you're coming to the wedding or not."
"That's why I'm here right now." Virna glanced at a menu that was closest to her. "If you don't mind, I would like to order a medium chocolate shake and have it brought over to my future granddaughter with two straws in it."
Katy smiled kindly as she poured the newly brewed coffee in a cup and placed it in front of her future in-law. "I don't mind at all."
Maya was leaned against Josh, who had one arm around her waist, when her mother sat a milkshake in a to-go cup on their table. Maya gave her a confused look. "We didn't-"
"She did." Katy motioned to the woman Maya didn't know yet as she collected the couple's dirty dishes. "She wanted to give her granddaughter a treat."
"That's Shawn's mom?" When Katy nodded her head, Maya went off to go hug her future grandmother.
Josh smiled as he watched the two got along so easily. He glanced at Katy who was also watching the two. "It looks like Maya's weekend is only going to get better?" When Katy gave him a look, Josh explained, "Topanga invited me to chaperone the Nature Club's field trip. I'm going with to the ski lodge."
Katy left the boy and a minute later Maya appeared as happy as can be, until she noticed the time. "Sorry, Josh, but I have to go." Maya apologized as she gathered her books together. "I need to pack for the trip tomorrow."
"Then you can take the shake home." Josh insisted as he gathered his own things together and moved the cup closer to her.
"How about the first one to get a brain freeze has to take the rest of it home?" Maya suggested with her usually mischievous smile on her face.
Josh only smiled back as the two got a hold of a straw. "Go!"
Maya sucked out of the straw quickly while Josh only took tiny sips to please the girl. Within ten seconds, she pulled away clutching her head. "You cheated!" The younger girl accused.
Josh laughed at her reaction. "Yeah, I did. Now go get ready for tomorrow. I have a surprise for you if you do."
"What is it?"
"You'll find out tomorrow."
Maya huffed at her boyfriend. "Fine." She walked over to Virna first, gave her a kiss on the cheek, and hugged her. "Bye, Grandma. I'll see you again at the wedding. And Mom, I'll see you at home."
Maya went back to her boyfriend and gave him a peck on the lips. "I'll talk to you after I get done packing."
Josh chuckled. "Alright, I'll talk to you later."
