Love is for Suckers (Joshaya)

Chapter 3

To maya riley's house was like a second home for her. She spent most of her time there instead of her own home. She loved being around a big and happy family she wished she could be a part of it.

Maya walks into the Matthews home like any typical Friday morning but this time there are a 2 new people there

Topanga was the first to notice her

"hey maya come in and meets riley's grandparents"

maya walks up alittle nervous, she is never good when it comes to meeting new people.

"hello nice to meet you" she says politly with a smile

"its nice to meet the famous maya" says riley's grandmother who gives her a big hug. Maya is shocked at first shes not used to so much affection.

"hello maya riley always talks about you its nice to finally meet you" rileys grandfather smiles at her.

Riley comes out of the room

"hey maya youre here, and I see you've met my grandparent" riley smiles

Auggie comes out

"mommy I'm hungry is uncle josh back with the bagels yet" he whines

"he should be here any minute now sweetie" Topanga tells her son

just as Topanga says that the door opens and before maya even turns she hears a voice she recognized and thought she would never hear again.

"hello family, bagels have arrived"

"yay" auggie screams and runs at his uncle "thanks uncle josh"

maya turns and is shocked to see that standing there in the middle of the room is non other than beanie guy. She couldn't believe it she thought she would never see him again let alone here at riley's house.

But wait, UNCLE josh? How was he rileys uncle he looked so young, she was so confused.

Josh had been busy juggling the box of bagels and his 6 year old nephew who was jumping up and down trying to get a bagel that he hadn't seen her yet.

"calm down auggie theres plenty to go around, here take them to the table"

he gives him the box and when he looks up he sees her

"you" he is a bit shocked to see her but still has a smile on his face

"me" maya answers

"now whos the stalker" josh smirks

"you two know eachother" riley asks looking between her best friend and her uncle

"we met yesterday on the subway, she though I was going to chop her up and leave her in a garbage can" josh laughed remembering their conversation.

"sounds lovely" riley says sarcastically. Riley grabs Maya and brings her forward to be face to face with josh

"uncle josh this is my best friend in the whole wide world Maya, maya this is my uncle josh. "

josh smiles "well Maya, it is nice to formally meet you" he pulls his hand out to shake. Maya hesitates for a second but takes his hand and they shake, but josh doesn't pull away so they stand there holding each others hands. Looking at each other maya feels a starnge sensation in the pit of her stomach. They stay like that until they hear someone cough. It was riley

"well maya and I have to get to school we"ll see you guys later, come on peaches" she grabs maya and pulls her away from josh and they leave the apartment.

"what was that?" riley asks her friend as soon as they were out of the apartment

Maya is still kind of in shock

"I have no idea"
