Chapter 10
Maya's POV
How is there this type of bar here? And it's packed. It's actually pretty cool. Cammie told me the story on the way over here. It used to be an old hangout for high school kids. A few years after Deedee's class graduated they threatened to tear it down. So Deedee bought it and turned it into this cool bar.
"Cammie!" I heard as soon as we walked in. A tall, thin blonde was almost running toward us.
"I think she's happier than Riley," Lucas said.
"Not possible," Farkle and I replied at the same time.
"Hey everyone," cheery said as she broke from her hug with Cammie. "I'm Deedee," she said looking at Farkle, Lucas, Eric and I.
"Hi Dee, this is Farkle, Eric, Maya and I'm Lucas." Her face lit up more. Wow she is giving Riley a run for her money with the happiness.
"Lucas, great you are just in time. I'll show you where to set up."
"Alright ladies and gentlemen, I hope you all are ready. All the way from Texas, here is Lucas Friar." Deedee said into the mic, the crowd started cheering.
"Hey everybody, as Deedee said I'm Lucas Friar. So, let's get this started."
The girls started going crazy when they saw him and started to perform "Fix" by Chris Lane.
"I need to find the bar," I said. Cammie chuckled.
"I'll show you." She led me to where the bar was. "Of course he's the bartender tonight," Cammie mumbled. I looked at him. He was big and muscular, but friendly looking. "Hey Dillion."
"Well, if it isn't Cammie Morgan. Who's your friend?"
"Off limits. She's Josh's fiancé."
"Really? How'd he manage that?" Okay now I'm starting to see why Cammie reacted the way she did.
"By being a good guy. Now can I get a shot of Jack?" I replied.
"You got it," he poured the shot. I downed it.
"Damn, good looking and can drink. Josh is lucky." I ignored him returning my attention to the stage.
"Cammie you want anything?" she must've said no. "Alright let me know when you want a drink," he said walking to the other end of the bar.
"For this next song I'm going to need my brother's help. Everyone please welcome, Eric Friar."
The music started playing "From the Ground Up" by Dan and Shay.
Zach walked over extending his hand toward Cammie, who took it.
I was watching the people dance and Lucas and Eric perform.
"Want another one?" Dillion asked.
"Sure," I downed the one, too.
"Listen I just wanted to apologize for earlier. Josh is a good buddy of mine that I grew up with." I just nod. "So, how'd you meet Josh?"
"My best friend introduced us."
"Well congrats on the engagement," he said walking away.
Macey sat down next to me.
"You went all out to show Lucas was from Texas, didn't you?"
"Yeah, it's fun messing with him. How's it going?" she asked.
"Good. You look like you're having fun." As I said that Eric is staring at Macey, who smiles. "I'm glad you all worked things out."
"Me too." There was a pause. "Looks like I'm not the only one having a good time," she said gesturing toward the dance floor. I spotted Farkle dancing with Liz.
"Riley would kill me if I didn't send her a pic of that," I said taking a picture and seding it to her.
It was almost an instant reply. I laughed to myself and showed it to Macey, who laughed, too. Zay sent me a video of Riley seeing the picture.
The night was going by fast. I was dancing with people and drinking, just like the rest of the group. Including Farkle and Liz, they just weren't as much as the rest of us.
"Alright, everybody thank you all for having me tonight. It's been fun. I got one more song for you all." Cue screams and cheers. "But I need help." He looked at me.
I was standing with the group from Gallagher. I shook my head once. The whole bar's attention turned to me.
"Please Maya?" Man if looks could kill, half of the girls in the bar would've succeeded. Cammie and Macey nudged me forward. Cheers started when I made my way up.
"Okay, Huckleberry, one condition. Not country." The place laughed.
"Alright, works for me. How about a little Nick Jonas, then?" He started playing "Close."
Macey POV
It took a nudge from me and Cammie, but Maya went up there.
"Okay, Huckleberry, on condition. Not country." Thank god. The place laughed.
"Alright works for me." Lucas said shrugging. "How about a little Nick Jonas, then?" He started playing "Close." Man, he knew what he was doing. This was going to be good.
Maya was lost in the music almost immediately when her part came up. And Lucas was not looking away from Maya the entire time. And that was true the entire night. When performing everything was directed toward her.
The song ended and we all cheered loudly. Maya got off the stage and walked back toward us.
"Wow Maya. I didn't know you could sing like that," Grant said, shocked. She was really good.
"Yeah, why didn't you pursue that? You looked like you were having an awesome time up there," Zach asked.
"Thanks again everyone," Lucas said heading backstage.
"I'll be back," Maya said disappearing.
A few minutes later Lucas walked up.
"Luke you killed it," Eric said to his little brother.
"Thanks. Where's Maya?" he asked looking around.
"Not sure, she said she was coming back," Farkle replied.
"I'm gonna go find her. Be back."
"He's not obvious at all, is he?" Bex asked sarcastically.
"Lucas!" Maya screamed.
Uh-oh. That's not good.
We all looked to where the noise came from.
"Great," Eric mumbled under his breath.
We pushed through the crowd and saw Lucas fighting Dillion with Maya trying to break it up.
Eric started pulling his brother away while Zach and Grant checked on Dillion. Maya stormed out. Oh this is not going to be good.
"Oh shit," Lucas mumbled following Maya. The rest of us followed the two.
"What the hell, Lucas?!" Maya shouted. I have never seen Maya mad. It was kinda scary.
"Maya," Lucas sighed.
"No, why would you start a fight?! We were just talking!"
"You didn't see what I saw," he said starting to raise his voice.
"What I saw was Texas Lucas. That Lucas terrifies me. I hate that Lucas. The last time I saw that Lucas I lost the real one."
"Trust me you'll be happy I stepped in when I did. He had more than just talking on his mind."
"Lucas is right," Zach said walking up with bruised knuckles. "He always was a creep," he mumbled.
"He was going to drug you, Maya. Had Lucas not stepped in no telling what would've happened."
"Thank you, Lucas," she said sincerely. I felt like there was a 'but' coming.
"Your welcome."
"But," she said ignoring him. Called it. "You could've stepped in without going full blown Texas Lucas," she finished walking off.
"I warned you, Lucas. You are going to have to work hard to get on her good side again. Or you'll lose her."
(the next morning)
Maya's POV
I was sitting in a small area the kitchen. This was the last day I could considering the students come today. Speaking of students.
Emma walked in with Cory.
"Hey Mom," Emma sat across from me.
"Mommy!" Cory yelled running at me. I put him on my lap.
"Morning you all. How'd you sleep?"
"Pretty good. Did you have fun last night?"
"Somewhat. What about you all? Did you have fun with Riley and Zay?"
"Yeah. I like them. Zay is teaching me how to throw a baseball. He said if he can find one he'll buy me a glove so I can learn more."
"What about you, Emma? You excited to spend the day with your dad?"
"Yeah, but a little nervous. He said he had something he needs to tell me."
"Morning everyone," Macey said walking in.
"Well, someone seems happy," Emma noted.
"And comfy," I continue. She was in an oversized Marine shirt and sweatpants.
"Something smells good. Who's cooking?" she asked, ignoring us.
"Not sure. There was a note outside my door telling me to come down to the kitchen when I woke up. When I got here there was a cup of coffee the way I liked it sitting here saying for Maya." I looked at Macey and Emma who were both smiling really big.
"What do you all know that I don't?"
Next thing I know there were hands over my eyes.
"Guess who?"
"Josh!" I screamed turning around and giving him a kiss.
"Morning."
"How? I thought you weren't able to get a flight and wouldn't be here until tonight."
"Yeah, well I had help. I was told you had a somewhat crappy night. So, I wanted to surprise you by being here this morning." I hugged him. "Thank you, Macey."
"Your welcome, Maya. You looked like you needed it. Now where is the breakfast that was promised, Abrams?" we laughed.
"Coming right up."
Josh Abram's POV
Holy crap I'm nervous. So nervous. I'm sitting in a diner with Shawn and Joe. Why? I know people think I proposed to Maya. That's not the case. It was a promise ring. But the more I thought about it the more I wished it was an engagement ring. I was going to wait a few more months and I wanted to propose to Maya with my mom's ring, but my sis got married first so she got the ring. I also wanted Maya's father's permission and for that I had to wait until I got to Roseville. But I couldn't wait any longer.
I told Maya about a great place to get ice cream. Cory overheard, I told her my sister was working there today not my dad and I would meet her there in a bit. So that's where they are.
"So, why did you want to meet with us, Josh?" Shawn asked.
"I love Maya very much. I would never hurt her."
"That's good to hear, but why are you telling us this?"
"I thought you already proposed? I saw the ring," Joe said, confused.
"Yeah, so did I, back in New York," Shawn agreed.
"That was just a promise ring." They let it sink in.
"She got pretty excited with the promise ring. And seems happy with you. So I give you permission," Joe said.
"Shawn?" I questioned, he had been really quiet and staring at me.
He took a deep breath. "If you leave her or hurt her in any way I will kill you. But if she's happy with you and this is what she wants, I'll allow it." I exhaled in relief, Shawn was the one I was most worried about.
"Thank you. I promise I will not hurt her and will protect her anyway I can."
Maya's POV
Josh said he had to run some errands, but knew of a good place to get ice cream. Cory heard so now here we are at Abrams Pharmacy.
We walk in and the bell above the door chimes. I look around, there is no one there. Then I hear some feet patter.
"Maya!" a little girl from behind the counter shouts.
"Hey, Alex, your mom around?" She nods.
"Maya, nice surprise," Joy, Josh's sister, says. "And Cory, you want some ice cream?"
Cory nods, but stands behind my legs.
"Awe someone's being shy today. You were all for ice cream earlier," I say lifting him onto my lap as I sit on a stool.
"What flavor do you want?"
"Chocolate."
"Of course."
"Can I have some, too?" Alex asks.
"Yes, you and Cory can go eat at the table over there," she says pointing to a little table just to the right of us.
"Thank you," Cory says grabbing his ice cream and I set him on the ground.
"So did my brother finally come to his senses?" Joy asks gesturing toward the ring on my hand.
"This is actually a promise ring."
"But you want it to be an engagement?"
"At first I was really happy with it being a promise ring. But everyone keeps thinking it's an engagement ring and yesterday we went to Deedee's and Cammie told the bartender I was off limits because I was Josh's fiancé."
"Was the bartender Dillion?" I nod. "That's why. I don't think she was trying to push it or anything. It's just a little hard to get through to Dillon."
"So I've noticed."
"But that's not what's bothering you is it?" I shake my head. "What's bothering you is it isn't true."
"Yeah. The more I thought about being introduced as that the happier I got. I really love him."
"Well to be honest of the girlfriends I've met, you've been my favorite. And I see the way Josh looks at you. It won't be long. Trust me."
"How do you know?" I ask, finishing my ice cream.
"Turn around," Josh says.
I spin in my stool and see Josh standing there. I look out the pharmacy windows and see everyone standing there. And I mean everyone, even Emma's roommates and Shawn and Joe are there.
When I return my attention to Josh, he is down on one knee.
"Maya, I'm so happy with you. The happiest I have ever been. And a week ago when you promised me one day I had really wished that the one day would be soon. But I never realized how soon I would want that. To be happy with you forever. Maya Penelope Hart, will you marry me?" I was shocked. He felt the same way I did. Could this really be happening for me?
"Maya?" Riley asked, she was filming it. I must've zoned out longer than I thought.
"Yes, of course." A huge smile spread across his face as he stood up, sliding the ring on my finger. I kissed him when he stood up fully. When we broke apart I looked at the ring. It was beautiful and simple. Wait a minute? I know this ring. I looked at Shawn, who nodded. I ran and gave him a hug and started tearing up.
"Are you sure?" I asked him.
"I have never been more sure. Your mom would've wanted this and would've been so proud of you. Congratulations." I gave him another hug. I felt a presence behind me. Shawn extended his hand.
"And you, I already warned you.
"I know hurt her, kill me."
"Congratulations, you two, seriously." Josh took Shawn's hand. "Watch out," Shawn said pulling Josh toward him. What?
"Peaches!" Riley yelled running and tackling me in a hug, "Congratulations!"
"Thanks, Riles."
"So, you're going to be my brother-in-law?" Cammie asks walking up with Zach.
"Looks like it."
"Congrats, little sis," Zach said, hugging me, using his nickname for me.
"Thanks, big bro," I replied. We had gotten really close over the years. He basically was my brother.
"I'm so happy for you," Cammie said switching to me and giving me a hug.
"She's my little sister, you hurt her and I'll kill you," Zach said to Josh.
"Will you all please stop threatening him?" I say jokingly toward Zach.
"Remember, I know how to swing a bat." Zay said, partially joking. I glared at him. "It was a joke," he said holding his hands up in defense. "Mostly," he mumbled under his breath.
That's it. What did yall think? Let me know.
