Lucaya One Shots

Protective Part II

Thanks to Caitlinm2014 who asked me to make a part two to 'Protective' (one of my earlier one shots), if you haven't read it I'd go back and read it before you continue just so you can understand this one. Hope you like it.😀

Lucas' POV

I looked down the street wondering what she was thinking as she stared back. Did she like me or did she think of me as a friend? It was starting to make me doubt myself.

"Hey huckleberry?" She shouted as she got closer. "What's up?"

"Erghhh." I stuttered, I had no idea what to say now. I didn't know whether to tell her how I felt or not. "Just going home to get something, I'll be back later."

"Ok then." She smiled. I couldn't believe I didn't tell her but it made me worry that she might not feel the same.

Maya's POV

I had been waiting all week for him to finally tell me how he felt and now I finally thought he was going to tell me. He seemed so determined as he pounded down the street.

"Hey huckleberry." I yelled. "What's up?"

As soon as I spoke it felt like his confidence had virtually gone within a split second.

"Errghhhh..." He stuttered making me worry about what he was going to say next. "I'm going home. Be back later."

That was all he had to say to me, maybe he had changed his mind. Maybe it was mistake and Farkle miss heard him. It didn't matter because as soon as I could get through Riley's front door I was going to ask Farkle what was going.

Farkle's POV

I saw Maya come flying through the door and I knew exactly what I had to say.

"Bay window?"

"Bay window now!!" She grumbled pointing towards the door to Riley's room.

"What's wrong?" I asked her as I sat down in front of the window.

"Did you tell Lucas the truth. Did you tell him that I liked him." She questioned me.

"Yeah sort of in those words." I explained trying to calm her down.

"Look make sure he knows when he comes back and find out if he actually likes me because I'm starting to get tired of being in this circle of will they or won't they!" And with that she left me sitting alone wondering what I was going to say to Lucas. Why did I always end up in the middle?

Lucas' POV

I came back through the door feeling a little more confident to have Farkle pull me back into the hallway.

"I thought you were going to tell her how you feel?" He growled.

"What if she doesn't like me back?" I asked him lowering my confidence yet again.

"Look man she likes you, don't put it off any longer, your wasting time you could have with her." As he said it I realised that even if she didn't like me back it was better than never finding out. I finally had my confidence back and I was ready to tell her how I felt.

When we got back into Riley's apartment Maya was nowhere to be seen and I couldn't understand why she would have left.

Maya's POV

"Riley I really thought he liked me, maybe I should finally try to move on from him." I sobbed.

"Maybe he's waiting for the right time?" She suggested.

"It always seems like the wrong time when it come to us." I explained.

"Well hiding in my closet isn't going to solve anything, now get up." She ordered me as she pulled herself up off the floor.

When I opened the door to leave I saw Lucas standing there.

"There you are I've looking every where for you!" He said pointing towards the window.

"Oh, coming Farkle." Riley pretended he was calling her. After she left the room it went silent it felt like when we first tried going out and we had nothing to talk about.

"Lucas you don't have to explain. I understand if you don't like me, it's fine." I assured him, trying to hide how hurt I felt inside.(

"Maya's it hard to explain what I feel."

"Lucas I can't read your mind, your going to have to tell me." I advised him hoping he would take the hint.

"Maya when I'm around you... Well... I do this." He said making us both laugh. "I stutter and I can't make nice speeches but I think that's why we could never talk. You make me feel... things that I can't really explain. But if you'd just continue talking to me then... I think we could probably make this work."

"That's was a pretty good speech." I approved making my eyes fill with tears.

"So what'd you say? Want to keep talking?" He asked.

"Well I'm not going anywhere, so we've got all night." I answered taking his hand in mine.
