Anything for You

Hanging Out Part 1

Josh's POV; 4pm; on the way to the Matthews' apartment

 I can't tell Maya that Melody goes to my school. Maya already has nightmares about Melody and me. The last thing she needs is another reason to worry. Melody has another way to access me.

Luckily, I'm not a total idiot. I have Maya, and Maya is all I need. I can't tell her I saw Melody. But, then again, last time I lied, Maya and I broke up. I know it isn't right to be dishonest, but I might have to keep this from her.

-At the Matthews' apartment-

Maya was already on the couch waiting for me.

"Hey, babe." I grinned at her. I was shaking a bit.

"Hi?" she said it like it was a question. Crap. She noticed.

"Heyyy..." I plopped down on the couch next to her.

She gave me a suspicious look.

"About last night. I, uh, I don't even know where to begin." I threw my hands up.

"I don't know why I had that dream." Maya said quietly.

"Are you intimidated by Melody?" I asked.

"I guess so... I'm not sure. I'm not so sure of anything anymore."

"Well, I know ONE thing, we're always gonna be together, no matter what happens. Even if some hooker comes into our lives. I'm always gonna be here for you. I know your dad left, but I won't."

She smiled at me, then rested her head on my shoulder.

I cleared my throat nervously and put a shaking hand on her back.

"Something isn't right with you." she stated.

She knows. SHE KNOWS! I should've run out the door right then and right there.

"Uhhh... like what?" I laughed uneasily.

"You're kinda tense." she looked up at me. "Your eyes are darting around the room." she looked at my free hand. "You're shaking." she stated. "I know you're hiding something."

I held my breath and made a fist. I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't take the guilt. I blew up.

"I saw Melody today. She goes to my school, apparently."

"Huh. I didn't know they let prostitutes in." she curled her lip.

"That's exactly  what I said!!" 

"You were afraid to tell me that?" She said skeptically. "Yeah, I guess I can understand that.

"I'm sorry. I-"

"Josh, don't be sorry. it isn't her fault. It's just a coincidence." she kissed my cheek.

I wrapped my arms around her and rolled on top of her.

"Joooshhhh. Your crushing me!!!" She squeaked.

"MWAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!" I did my evil laugh.

"Oh crap." she groaned.

I stood up and grabbed her by the legs and picked her up upside-down.

"Dangit Josh." she laughed.

Her face started turning red. I flipped her over and tossed her back onto the couch.

"What, exactly, was THE POINT OF THAT???!" She flailed her arms wildly to prove her point.

"THIS!!" I jumped onto her and kissed her.

"Wow. You're insane." she grumbled.

"I can be spontaneous!" I whined like a little kid.

"No, REALLY?" She gasped and sarcastically put a hand over her mouth.

After screwing around for 10 minutes straight, we were laughing so hard we were crying.

Maya's POV

Josh leaned in and tried to kiss me, but I had this big, goofy smile on my face.

"Stop smiling! I can't kiss you if you're smiling!!" Josh laughed.

I stopped smiling for a split second, but then I thought of him flipping me around and started grinning again.

"Seriously?!" he chuckled.

"OH COME HERE!" I yelled, grabbed him by the face, and kissed him.

We were basically reenacting the Riley-Lucas kiss, except I actually made it onto his lips instead of his chin, like Riley did.

AND there was also the fact that he basically turned it into a full-blown makeout session.

Yeah, that too.

Riley basically just blew a raspberry on his face.

Great, now I'm smiling again.
