"I can't demand a date."

"Why not?"

"It's rude."

"And?"

Farkle rolled his eyes. "Josh."

"Farkle, I promise you it will work and we had a deal and you broke it. I told you I would give you until Monday it's now Friday. We passed Monday."

"Josh, there's no point. Say, she says yes, I'm going to get one date and ruin it and she'll never go out on another date with me again and I'll ruin our friendship so why bother?"

"Farkle, buddy, you don't give yourself enough credit and in case you have forgotten what our deal is let me remind you. If you don't ask her out then I will ask her out and you know I don't accept no."

"You wouldn't."

"I would," Josh countered, nodding. "I'll go over there right now and ask her out."

"Who are you going to ask out?" Maya questioned as she took her seat next to Josh.

"You, Gorgeous. Who else?" Josh answered, putting his arm around Maya's shoulder.

Both Maya and Farkle rolled their eyes before Josh got back serious.

"Farkle, I'll even throw you another bone. How about this? We," he said, pointing to him and Maya. "Will go on a double date with you and Smackle," he suggested causing Farkle to look a little more at ease at the idea of asking Smackle out. "And I'll give you pointers throughout the whole night. There is no way for the date to go wrong," he grinned as Maya shook her head next to him. "We will even do the typical dinner and a movie date. Simple. You can't go wrong with it. We will find out what one of her favorite restaurant is and then go and see the new Spiderman movie and we will be at your side the entire night."

Maya scrunched her face up, "I don't think Smackle is a Spiderman movie type of girl."

"Even better," Josh exclaimed, grinning.

Farkle looked over at Josh questioningly as Maya once again shook her head.

"She is not going to want to watch the movie," he pointed out. "Which means you can even do something better than watching the movie. Just sit in the back row and not next to us."

Maya whacked Josh on the chest, "Farkle is a respectable gentleman unlike you and isn't going to expect Smackle to make out with him on their first date at the movie theater."

"Unlike me?" Josh shrieked, pointing at himself. "I had no plans to make out with you during the movie. I actually want to see Spiderman. Just because you want to make out during the movie doesn't mean-"

"I want to make out during the movie?"

"Yeah, you. You're the one who looks disappointed at the fact we aren't going to make out during the movie."

"I am not disappointed."

"So you don't want to make out?"

Maya stared at Josh as he raised an eyebrow at her.

"Why am I always here to witness you two?" Farkle asked, shaking his head.

"We will finish this later," Josh muttered to Maya. "Back to you Farkle! You may be a respectable guy," he began, looking over at Maya. "But at the end of the night I know what you want," he continued, earning him another whack and look from Maya. Josh ignored her look and instead took her hand into his and gave it a little squeeze. "Now, here's your chance Farkle. Go over there and ask her out."

Farkle sighed. "Do I have to?"

"Yes," Josh and Maya snapped at the same time.

Farkle looked back and forth between Josh and Maya.

"Just go over there and ask her how I told you to and you won't get a no."

Farkle sighed again, glancing over in Smackle's direction before slowly standing up and heading in her direction causing them to smile.

"You gave him bad advice before I came, didn't you?"

"Bad advice? I'm getting the guy a date with his dream girl."

The two watched as Farkle walked over to the next table and leaned in so they could hear.

"You-you and me. Date. Tomorrow night," Farkle ordered, nervously, glancing between Smackle who looked confused and Josh who was nodding his head while Maya closed her eyes before glaring in Josh's direction.

"Pardon?"

Farkle looked back over to Josh who was still nodding egging him as Maya shook her head, mouthing to be polite.

"I was wondering if you would go out on a date with me tomorrow night?"

Smackle smiled, answering. "It's about time you asked me out. I would love to."

Farkle looked back over at Maya and Josh who were smiling giving him thumbs up.

XOXOJOSHAYAXOXO

"During the movie, just go in and put your arm around her. She will cuddle up to you."

Maya shook her head at Josh's advice as he helped Farkle get ready for his date. The three were home alone as her mother and Shawn left last night for their weekend getaway. "I don't think Smackle is the cuddly type," she pointed out.

"Every girl likes a good cuddle from the guy they like," Josh countered. "And you can't say that's not true."

Maya bit her lip, knowing most girls did.

"At dinner you want to play the safe side. Make sure she is comfortable and having a good time. Keep the conversation going and when you can't that's when we will step in. At the movies, that is where you test the waters. See what boundaries she is okay with pushing and don't go a step further than necessary because there is always a second date."

"A second date?"

"Well yeah. I've always got a second date if I wanted one."

"When will you realize I'm not you-"

"And that's not a bad thing, Farkle," Maya spoke up from her spot on Josh's bed. "It's a good thing you're not Josh because not every girl wants a Josh," she assured him causing Josh to frown and narrow in his eyes in at her. She glared in Josh's direction before he could say some cocky remark and he instantly kept him mouth shut instead reluctantly agreed with her.

"She's right. I'm not every girl's type," he forced out, getting an eye roll from Maya. "It's your time to shine. You don't want to be late picking her up so go and get your girl."

Maya nodded, "And don't worry we are going to be right behind you ever step of the way."

XOXOJOSHAYAXOX

"We are going to go use the bathroom and get drinks and popcorn," Maya told the boys, linking her arm through Smackle's and quickly leaving the boys at their seats before they could say anything. She was hoping she could get a little girl talk and see how Smackle thought her and Farkle's date was going. "So, you and Farkle? How is it going?" she asked once the two were out of earshot from the boys.

"Good," Smackle nodded, with a slight smile.

Maya returned her small smile. "If Farkle seems off it's because he is. He is so nervous about this date and it doesn't help Josh is giving him advice that he isn't always comfortable taking."

Smackle smiled fully this time. "I've noticed," she laughed. "So, you and Josh?" she asked, putting some of the attention on the other girl. "You two are looking really cozy."

Maya couldn't help the smile and blush that came to her face. "Josh and I..."

"Are adorable," Smackle answered causing Maya's smile to go wider and cheeks pinker. Smackle winced at the sound of her phone and rolled her eyes, "My mother is calling me. Go ahead and get your and Josh's drinks and popcorn and I'll get mine and Farkle's after I get off of the phone with my mother and meet you back at our seats. I'm going to go outside and get this because I know my mother and I know how she likes to talk."

Maya nodded, "I'll see you back at our seats," she told her, watching Smackle head in the other direction before stepping into one of the busy lines and waiting for her turn before putting her order in and paying. She thanked the worker as he laid her drinks on the counter and left to get her popcorn. She glanced around the theater and her heart dropped at the sight of him walking her way. She quickly faced forward and didn't dare look over as he came to stand next to her.

"Maya?"

Maya continued to stare straight forward, her eyes looking for the worker who was suppose to be getting her popcorn so she could get out of there.

"Can we talk?" he asked, finally making Maya look at him.

"We have nothing to talk about."

Lucas sighed loudly, "Maya. Please?"

She swallowed, grabbing her drinks and decided to leave without the popcorn.

"Come on, Maya," Lucas sighed, chasing after her. "Just hear me out. Please?"

He went to grab her arm but she yanked it away before he had a chance and turned to glare at him as the two stood in front of the little arcade area. "Make it quick."

Lucas nodded. "I'm sorry," he apologized. "I'm sorry, I lashed out on you and I shouldn't have grabbed your arm. You have to know how truly sorry I am."

Maya pressed her lips together, her eyes went back to glancing around the theater. She shook her head. "It doesn't matter."

"It does and I'm sorry."

Maya finally looked at the boy who use to be her boyfriend. "How many times are you going to apologize?"

"As many as it takes."

Maya sighed, "Lucas, I accept your apology but this needs to stop. We are completely over. I'm sorry our relationship ended the way it did and I hurt you. I know I should have ended things with you as soon as I started to feel something towards Josh but we are over and I'm with Josh now."

"I'm not giving up on us. You know he is going to go back to New York where he belongs and that's when everything can return back to normal."

Maya stared into Lucas's eyes before she huffed, shaking her head as anger shot through her, "That's why you went to Shawn. You were hoping Josh would get sent back to New York so he is out of your way and then when that didn't work at school you were hoping Josh would see us so he would start a fight with you and get sent back to New York," she accused, angrily as her eyes boiled into his. "Lucas, what the hell is wrong with you?" she asked, raising her voice.

"I was thinking about how I was going to win you back and show you what I'm willing to do to get you back."

"You thought that would win me back?"

"I'll admit those weren't my proudest moments especially since they didn't work but I wanted to show you I was willing to do what I have to do to make you my girlfriend again. "

"So you were trying to ruin Josh?"

"I was doing what I had to do. I told you I was going to prove to you we are suppose to be together."

Maya shook her head, speechless. She knew she needed to walk away before she did something stupid. "I can't deal with you right now," she told him and began walking away.

Lucas grabbed her arm, jerking her back towards him, "I forgave you for cheating on me behind my back. Why can't you forgive me?"

Maya jerked her arm out of his grip before dumping one of the drinks in her hands on him. "Don't touch me."

"Maya!" Lucas yelled, grabbing Maya's arm again.

"Hey!"

"Mind your business," Lucas told the other boy.

Before Maya could react, she watched as Farkle punched Lucas in the face. "Farkle!" she screeched, rushing over to him as he was bend over shaking his hand. She examined his hand and prayed it wasn't broken as she glanced over at Lucas who was checking to see if his lip was bleeding.

"What the hell is going on?"

Maya swallowed at the sound of Josh's voice. She looked over to see him looking back and forth between the three and trying to figure out what happened.

"Oh if it isn't Prince Charming here to save his slut again."

Maya saw the anger instantly wash over Josh before he started in Lucas's direction. "Josh! No!" she yelled, once again putting herself in between the two as the run in at school replayed in her head.

"Maya. Move. Now," Josh ordered, staring into her eyes. "I have to put a stop to this."

"Josh, no. This is exactly what he wants. He wants you to get in trouble so you have to go back to New York."

"If I don't put a stop to this then it's going to keep happening."

"I would rather this keep happening than lose you."

The two continued to stare into each other's eyes until a new voice came into the picture.

"What's going on over here?"

Maya winced at the sound of one of the movie theater's managers. Maya could tell it was taking everything in Josh not to move her out of the way so he could get to Lucas.

Josh gave Lucas one last glare. "Nothing," he answered, reaching out for Maya's hand and taking it into his. "We were just leaving."

The three quickly left and ignored the worker as he questioned them.

"I'm going to jail," Farkle mumbled. "I'm going to jail and I'm never getting another date with Smackle."

"Farkle, calm down. You aren't going to jail," Josh eased, as the three rushed out of the theater and ran into a confused Smackle who was just hanging up with her mother.

"What's going on?"

"Change of plan."

Was all Josh said as Smackle looked at them confused as the four headed quickly towards their cars.

XOXOJOSHAYAXOXO

Maya ran her finger along the words written on Josh's shirt across his chest as the two laid in his bed after their double date with Farkle and Smackle. The four came back to her home after the disaster at the movies. Once they got Farkle to calm down and assure him he wasn't going to jail the four decided to watched a movie and order a pizza before calling it a night. Maya pressed her lips together as she looked up at Josh, who's eyes were closed but she knew he was still awake as his hand ran up and down along her side.

"Do you think Farkle is going to get another date?"

"I hope so."

"Me too," she agreed. "Surprisingly, I think Smackle liked knowing Farkle punched Lucas."

Josh chuckled. "I didn't know Farkle had it in him."

"Me either," Maya laughed before the two became quiet. She swallowed, nervous to bring up the next subject.

"Josh?"

"Mmhm?"

Maya took in a deep breath before continuing, "About what Lucas said."

Josh opened his eyes, glancing down at her to let her know she had his full on attention.

Maya glanced up at him but quickly looked away, not wanting to look him in the eyes, "About me sleeping around-"

Josh frowned, wondering why she would bring it up. "Maya I know it's not true," he cut her off.

Maya propped herself up on her elbow and look down at him. "No, but-"

"I know you don't sleep around. We've barely done anything more than kissing and sleeping in the same bed together but he is accusing us of a lot more than what we have actually done because I know we haven't had sex yet."

Maya nodded, suddenly becoming even a little more nervous at the last word out of his mouth. Yet. She knew he was experience, very experience but she couldn't help but wonder what he would think when he found out she hasn't even had sex yet. She never felt ready or wanted to take that step yet. "There's more to it. It's just Lucas and I-I mean-I've never-I'm still-" she began, swallowing.

"A virgin?"

Maya slowly nodded and adverted her eyes away from him again.

"Hey," Josh caressed her cheek, waiting for her to look at him. He pulled her in for a soft kiss on her lips. "Maya you have nothing to be embarrassed about. If you think that bothers me it doesn't and I would never make you do anything that you're not comfortable with doing or are not ready to do so don't feel pressured and if you are uncomfortable doing anything we are doing tell me and we'll stop. I promise."

Maya blushed, smiling and wondered how she got so lucky to have him. She leaned in for another kiss before resting her head back on his chest and going back to tracing the letters on his shirt as he closed his eyes again.

"What's a secret you are keeping from your parents?"

Maya heard Josh murmured. She smiled, knowing even though he was tired he still wanted to know more about her. The two had been asking each other random questions so they could learn more about each other.

"You," she grinned.

Josh chuckled. "Besides me."

Maya pondered. "Big or little?"

"Whatever you want to tell me."

"Okay, this story is embarrassing but one time we had just got new garage doors that Shawn was crazy about and I backed my car into the garage doors and when Shawn and my mom questioned me I blamed Riley. I never told them it was me. To this day they still believe Riley did it."

"You backed your car into the garage doors?"

"Yes, it was dark and I assumed it was opened," she tried to explain herself causing Josh to crack up, laughing. "And I didn't want to tell them it happened again so I said Riley did it."

"Again?" Josh gasped, raising an eyebrow.

"Hints as to why we had new garage doors but don't judge me. I'm a good driver."

"You backed into your garage doors not once, but twice. I don't know if I would call you a good driver."

"Okay, first off, you've been in the car with me plenty of times and I've never heard you complain about my driving and technically, I didn't back in to the garage doors both times. One time I drove straight into them because I thought I put the car into rear but instead I put it in to drive."

"And just rammed into the garage doors," he laughed.

"I only had my license for like a week. Innocent mistake."

"Yeah, we will have to ask the garage door about that."

Maya pouted and Josh took her hand into his to bring it up to his mouth to place a soft kiss on it.

What's your biggest regret?" she asked, softly, knowing this could be a tough one for him.

"How much time do we have before your mom and Shawn get home?" he chuckled, looking down at her.

Maya cuddled up to him more, smiling. She tilted her head some to meet his eyes. "I know there is at least one that popped into your head when I asked."

Josh sighed, pressing a kiss on top of her head, "There is a lot I regret but probably how I treated my parents," he finally answered. "I was a horrible son to them when they have been nothing but the best parents they can be."

"You weren't always a horrible son to them," Maya corrected.

Josh slowly nodded. "But that doesn't make what I put them through this past year feel any better."

Maya ran her hand across Josh's cheek and tilted his head down to place a comforting kiss on his lips. "When was the last time you actually talked to your parents?" she asked, softly." And I'm not talking like words just coming out of your mouth but like actually had a real conversation with them?"

Josh blinked a few times as he tried to remember the last real conversation he had with either of his parents. "Probably before my injury," he answered, honestly, as guilt filled him. "I was very short tempered after it and especially once I realized I wasn't the same player so anytime they said anything I constantly snapped at them or was a smart ass then I pulled away from them completely and started acting out so when we did speak to each other it was just yelling or me sitting there and taking the yelling and not caring what they were saying. My injury ruined my relationship with them. I went from being a son they were proud of and loved to show off to a son they were embarrassed by. My injury ruined everything for me"

Maya swallowed, "Josh, I'm sure your parents aren't embarrassed by you. Maybe frustrated but not embarrassed-"

"Once again, you only know the me down here and not the me that I was in New York."

"And once again, this is the real you and think about it if you didn't get injured you wouldn't have acted out and you would have never been sent down here by your parents and we would not be lying here right now together on this bed."

Josh narrowed his eyes in, "So you are saying I should be thankful for getting injured?"

"No, I'm not saying you should be thankful," Maya started to backtrack and advert her eyes away from his. "Because I know how much it's hurting you that you aren't the player you once were-"

Josh tilted her head up so her eyes would meet his, "One thing I am thankful for because of my injury and getting into trouble and getting sent here," he told her softly, gazing into her eyes. "Is you."

A huge smile instantly came to Maya's face before he leaned down and placed a long kiss on her mouth.

"Even though you are going to be the death of me," he murmured against her lips. "Because you know Shawn is going to kill me when he finds out about us."

"He doesn't have to find out."

Josh sighed, "You know we can't hide forever."

"I know," Maya agreed. "But I don't want to run from this," she told him, lacing their fingers together.

"Neither do I."

"You know what they say if you can't run, hide."

Please leave me a review with your thoughts!
