♥ Lucas and Maya ♡

~ "I guess this is fine..." ~ (4)

♡♡♡♡♡ Maya's POV ♡♡♡♡♡

"Uno!" Farkle screams, throwing down the cards," Like a boss!"

"Farkle, we're playing go-fish..." I tell him softly as I stare at him with a Whaaa face and put my cards down gently. He squats back down embarassed as Lucas and I laugh at him.

"Maya!" I hear my mom yell as she runs into the house. I stand up from the ground amd head to the kitchen Where she stood with an excited smile.

"Wussup?" I ask her with a grin, tapping my fingers agaisnt the kitchen table I was leaning agaisnt.

She jumps over to me (literally) and grips my hands tightly. "MAYYYYAAA!" She squeals," I actually have an acting callback!"

I smile. "Mom, that's great!" I tell her," For what? A movie? A show? A Broadway play?"

"For a new show called The Famous Dog In The City! I play the dog!" She tells me excitedly. She begins to leave the room leaving me with an 'Uhhh' face.

"Wait, mom, where are you going?!" I call out to her causing her to stop and turn to me.

"The producer has to make sure I don't have fleas! I'll be home late, love you!"

And with that, she was gone. "Oh...my....god. That did not just happen." I mutter to myself as I shake my head and rush back to the living room.

"What's up? What happened in there?" Lucas asks curiously. I sigh and grin. "Nothing. Who's up for a new activity?" I ask them with a clap of the hands.

Farkle frowns. "I wanna work on my science experiment...." He says with a gloomy tone.

"GAH!" I groan with my hands in the air,"How many times do we have to tell you that we're out of school?!"

"You're gonna have to keep reminding me then, Maya! Cause I still need to thoroughly focus on the Lucas Method." He tells me with a straight face," I almost figured out the formula! So far it's 23-Xy+6•2= Gettin' the ladies!" .

I roll my eyes with a scoff. "Oh, pu-lease! There is definitely not a way for Bucky McBoingBoing to get a girl. It just.... Happens." I tell him with a shrug.

"Oh really?" Lucas asks with a smirk. "How does it happen, pancakes?" He asks with a smug grin knowing that if I says something, I'd say why I like him.

"Uh.... W-well, y-you s-see..." I stammer at a loss for words. "Mkay, who wants to go to the park? I know I do!" I say with a nervous laugh, standing up.

"But Maya, it's 11:35pm. Why would we go this late?" Farkle asks," There are squirrels out at this time too ya know... " He whispers with a nervous shiver.

"I'll protect you, bud." I tell him as I yank him up by his arm.

"Yeah, and after that backfires, leave it to me to pick up the pieces and protect the both of you." Lucas mutters standing up as well.

I didn't protest with argument. Cause it was true...

As we head out we run into Josh.

"Josh? What are you doing here?" I ask him curiously. He gives me a nervous smile. "Uh, just visiting my girlfriend."

I nod. "Oh. Mrs. Annalee? That woman has like 23 cats and teeth like a piranha." I say with a shiver. He laughs. "No, no. Um, it's Lexi. Lexi Maxwell."

That's when I got mad. Not because I still have feelings for him but because that girl ruined my life when she babysat me as a kid. I thought he would atleast do intell on her first!

"Are you serious? She is a demon!" I scream at him. He shakes his head in disbelief. "This little crush on me has gone too far---"

"Crush?!" I yell, interrupting him," This crush faded 3 months ago!"

"AW, you've liked me for 3 months?" Lucas asks with a small smile. I hold my hand up," Not now huckleberry."

This was so not the time, but I couldn't stop myself from smiling a bit.

"My point is" I continue," Did you even bother to do Intel on her? Guess not. She could be a masked murder for all we know." I finish before walking off, done with him.

"So, park time. Now." I say out loud knowing the boys are following behind me.

---At The Park---

"Iiiiiiiiiii'm gonna swiiinnngg from the Chandelieeeeer! From the chan---"
"Farkle!" I cut off farkle by screaming. He stops and looks at me with a frown. "Sorry..."

I begin to make my way toward the swing-set and farkle makes his way to the rocking horses.

I love him. He's like the little lost puppy i've always wanted.

I see Lucas make his way to the swings as well. I sit down and he sits on my left.

"Hey, Maya...?" I hear Lucas say quietly. I turn to him and ask," Yeah?"

He turns to me fully. "What was it that you put in the time capsule?" He asks in curiosity.

I send him a tiny grin and look into his eyes, gripping the chains a bit more. "Like I said before, I can't say. Hopes are hopes. They are make believe....buy they count as somethin'."

He nods. "No, hopes are dreams. Dreams you need to belive in---"

"Lucas, stop." I snap at him and throw in a disbelieving laugh, looking up at the glowing full moon," You honestly don't belive that do you? Hopes are for suckers. I have no hope for life, my future, for love..."

"Let's see about that." I hear him say before he stands up and walks over to me, grabbing my hand from my lap and pulling me up.

He points between the both of us. "This. This is gonna happen." He says before walking me over to a picnic table and sitting down.

He pulls me close to him and intertwines our fingers. He motions for me to lay my head on him and I did as directed.

"I guess this is fine... "I mumble nervously, feeling his head on mine.

This, this will always be fine. ♥

Usually, I'd never have him boss me around, but this was a new feeling.

---Back at home---

I was in front of my home door now and it was 1:23am and farkle has been gone for a while now.

Me and Lucas walked here hand in hand, staying silent.

I've never experienced anything better.

He turns to me and I turn to him.

He tugs at my hand causing my chest to bump into his. "Maya... "He whispers, pressing his lips to my forehead and pulled away," This is hope."

That was my night.

And heck, I could'nt sleep.

A/N: sorry it's short but I hope you liked it! Thanks for reading Lucaya's!
