Forever? (Sequel to Our Secret Someday)

Chapter Three

The weekend came around quick and Maya had been so excited to see Ellie. At four she was attached to Maya's hip whenever she was around. Not to mention Josh was easily her favourite uncle. The spare bedroom had been set up for months waiting for her to be able to come.

Morgan and her husband were dropping her off at lunch time and Maya had everything ready. Josh couldn't get over how excited Maya was. She had been running around all week trying to make sure everything was perfect. The buzzer went off at the door of the apartment.

"Who's there?"

"It's me Aunt Maya, can I come in?"

"Hmm is that my Ellie girl"

All she could hear was laughing. She let them up and Ellie ran in straight to Maya. Josh came out of the room to see the girls together. Morgan had to leave quickly. He loved seeing them together. Seeing that Maya was at least still close to one Matthews girl. He was grabbing his stuff to meet Andrew and Lucas.

"Can we go to the park Aunt Maya"

"Of course we can El, uncle Josh has to go out with Andrew first then we can okay"

"Hurry Uncle Josh"

"Alright girls I will see you later" Josh went over to Ellie and kissed her forehead and kissed Maya after.

Josh was becoming more and more nervous. The only people he had discussed this engagement with was Andrew, Shawn and Katy. Getting the ring makes it more real. He loved Maya and wanted nothing more than to marry her. Josh was just hoping that Lucas would be okay with it. He had definitely taken over from Riley when it came to the protective friend role.

Josh had messaged them to meet him in the food court. He thought he had found the perfect ring in the window of Maya's favourite jewellery store but wanted a second opinion. Josh could see Lucas walking him.

"Hey man, what are we getting up to today?"

"Hey um well I thought maybe we could go ring shopping"

"Ring shopping as in engagement ring shopping?"
Josh nodded. "Well it's about time. Damn I didn't even think you guys would have been together for a year before you asked her"

Andrew came next. They made their way over to Maya's favourite jewellery shop it didn't take long for Josh to point out the ring he liked. The woman behind the counter picked it out and put it on the glass in front of the guys. It was a princess cut ring exactly what Josh thought Maya would like.

"Josh if you already knew the ring you wanted why did you drag me and Lucas here?"

"Because I didn't know if I got it right"

"My girlfriend had told me that when I propose she needs to choose the ring because I have terrible taste and this guy over here is single"

"What Andrew means to say Josh is we think It's great, so how are you going to propose?"

"This is why Lucas is now my favourite, I thought we could discuss this next weekend. Ellie is at home and wants to go to the park"

Josh got his credit card out looking at the ring one last time before deciding that was the one.

"So you will take this one today sir?"

"Yeah, this is definitely the one"
