Behind her Back

Game Night All Over Again

Maya's P.O.V
I almost scream with delight when Riley texts me that Josh will be at her home. Well, yeah, she may be lying, but she never lies to me. We're my best friends and I trust her. Okay, maybe she is lying but fuck that, I'm on my way just in case my sweetie babe is there. God that sounded really weird. I dash into this crappy old office type place to make a fake license. Then I run into Steve's Car Rentals and use my emergency credit card to rent a car for a day. I seriously don't know how I'll return it, but that's not the point right now. I get into the old 1990's blue car I rented and drive the fastest I can home. I use the gps on my phone because it's not like I can drive and know directions to places. Okay, I'm driving now so I guess I can drive, but, I don't know. I wanted to drive instead of use a taxi because taxi drivers either drive too fast or too slow, there's seriously no in between.

I barge into the Matthews' apartment at exactly 7:00PM. I see Lucas sitting on the couch and Riley standing in the middle of the room. "PEACHES!" Riley screams as she runs to me and squeezes me in the tightest hug I've ever had before. "Hey, where's Josh?" I pull away quickly and Lucas comes to me. "Why the hell did you leave?" I hesitate at that question and Riley shuts the front door. "Come on guys, we've got plenty of time. My parents are at a dinner for my mom's friend, so we have the house to ourselves for the night. " We all walk into Riley's bedroom and sit on the bay window. "I- I don't know. I was gone for a day only, so-" "Almost two days!" Riley loudly says. "Guys, just one question. Where the fuck is Josh?" Riley says, "He's supposed to be her already. Be right back, I'm gonna go call him." Riley pulls her phone out and walks out of the bedroom, leaving just Lucas and I. "I-" I can't continue because Lucas suddenly presses his lips onto mine and makes the kiss better than the first one. The kiss starts going deeper and better, until Riley comes in. "Hey Josh is on his-" We quickly pull away to see Riley's jaw drop. She looks so heartbroken. I quickly stand up and say "Oh my god, I'm so sorry. It just sort of happened and-" Riley quietly says "It doesn't really matter." That's when we hear the doorbell ring. I squeal like a little five year old getting a new Barbie doll and run to the door. Josh comes in and I pull him into a tight as hell hug. Smelling his cologne on his neck makes me just want to cuddle with him the whole day. "Maya, you grew up a little more since the last time I saw you." I watch him raise his eyebrows as he studies my whole body, and I wish I out on an outfit a little more, what would I call it, sexy. The last time Josh came was when I was 12. That's just how fast the night changes. Oh fuck, that's from a 1D song isn't it? They're big assholes. Don't say that to Riley though, she is a big 'directioner' as they would call it. Josh looks so hot in a black leather jacket and skinny jeans. Damn, he has an even better body than Lucas. I feel Lucas watching me, but I go back to hugging Josh anyway. It's not like Lucas likes me. I'd seriously cry if he liked me. Wait, am I forgetting that he's kissed me twice? Not once, but twice? I have mixed feelings about this shitty life I'm living. Josh looks at me after I pull away and says "I'm staying for a week here, so-" "OH MY GOD YOU ARE?" I then realize that doesn't sound very mature of me so I say again "Wow, uh, that's great." I clear my throat after saying that to just seem, you know, whatever the reason is that people do it. Josh says, "Yeah. The only thing I usually live off back home is hot pockets and ramen soup, so maybe I can jazz it up a little here?" He says that while throwing a few wads of cash onto the coffee table and a squished piece of chewing gum. "Damn if I had that money I'd eat a lot more than hot pockets and ramen noodles." I quickly say. Josh looks at me oddly and turns back to what he was doing: laying blankets on the sofa. "Hey Josh?" I ask softly. He turns to me and says "Sup Maya? How old are you now?" I tell him that I'm 15 now. He says "I'm still too old for you Maya." Josh chuckles after saying that. "No, there's no age for love." I pull him to me and I decide to do the one thing in my life that I know I'll enjoy and regret at the same time: I kiss Joshua Matthews.
