It's About Time (GMW - Joshaya)

Chapter 91

Maya's POV

"So what do you wanna do for the walk in?" Josh asked me.

I could tell that he was just trying to distract me from my own thoughts, and while I appreciated his effort, I wasn't really feeling into it.

"I don't know," I shrugged. "We can just spin around and dance to the intro music or whatever."

"Oh, come on...that's lame," he grabbed my hand and pulled me to the side. "We gotta come up with something good, and something that nobody else will steal."

We were all still outside on the grounds where we were taking the pictures, while everyone was finishing up taking their solo shots with Cory and Topanga.

Josh stood in front of me thinking hard, he rubbed his chin thoughtfully. But my mind was wandering around my thoughts rapidly.

"What about the lift from Dirty Dancing" he finally spoke.

"What?!" I laughed.

"You don't know what the Dirty Dancing lift is?!" he asked astounded. "It's the one from that Crazy , Stupid, Love movie." 

(Clip below if you wanna see the lift--from Crazy, Stupid, Love)

"First of all, I know the Dirty Dancing lift...I don't live under a rock. Second of all, I said 'what?!' because there is no way you can do that. And Lastly, Ryan Reynolds was so hot doing that scene in  Crazy, Stupid, Love." 

"It was Ryan Gosling, not Ryan Reynolds. Do not disrespect," he said with a hint of offense in his voice.

I laughed at his girly movie tendencies that I knew he had a soft spot for under his rough exterior.

"They're both hot. It doesn't make a difference to me either way," I sucked in my cheeks.

"Not as hot as me though, right?" he kinked an eyebrow at me and nudge my shoulder.

"Stop. It!" I smiled upward toward him and bit my bottom lip to keep myself from giving into him

"No," he pressed his lips into a closed smile, his eyes downcast. We looked into each others' eyes for a moment before he broke the silence, "So the lift?"

"No way!"

"What...you don't trust me?" he feigned hurt.

"Maybe someday I will. You just gotta have a little hope, Joshie," I patted his shoulder.

"So someday you'll let me do the Dirty Dancing lift," his eyes glimmered with hope.

"Maybe," I teased. "You'll just have to stay around and find out."

I noticed his eyes flicker at the words 'stay around.' He still hadn't told me that he was moving back to New York and I wasn't really sure why, but at this point...it was a treat just to see another one of the Matthews squirm.

"How about we do a little reenactment of Topanga's 'Doughnut in the Sky' dance?" I raised my eyebrows, awaiting his response.

"Maya Hart!" he grabbed my cheeks as they squished together. "You have never had a better idea in your entire life," he finally released my cheeks. "You get the lipstick and I'll talk to the DJ about getting a mic and doing some background music for that. Then, we can try to remember the words and moves to it."

"Ahhh!" I clapped my hands together, feeling strangely excited about the intro. "I'm gonna go get the lipstick and meet me up in the Bridal Suite so we can practice a little." I used the height of my heels to reach up quickly and give him an instinctive kiss on the cheek.
