My one and only Love

Chapter 22

When people looked to the relationship between Maya and Josh, they always assumed it was Maya who was so head over heels, that it was Maya who was the one who clung to it all and felt the need for them to be close. But what people didn’t see between Josh and Maya was that they clung to each other. Josh felt as much of a need for Maya as she felt for him. The chance of spending three months without her being only a couple subway stops away made his stomach twist into knots. There was too much space between them if he went back to his parent’s for the summer. Josh’s reasons for signing up for summer classes had been logical and actually made his family proud. He wanted to graduate early, or be ready for grad school early. He was motivated in his studies and taking extra summer courses to get to his goals sooner was admirable.

However, for Josh, it just meant more time with Maya. With her out of school for the summer and Josh only taking two classes, they had more time together than they’d ever had before. Some couples wouldn’t do well with so much time, time to do all the things you wanted and then sit around and do nothing, time to spend hours and hours together. But Maya and Josh didn’t ever seem to tire of one another. They grew more and more physical with one another with more time. They experimented and got braver about where and when they did things. Sneaking off at parties, roaming hands in movie theaters. It was all exciting and yet safe at the same time because they trusted the other so much.

They pushed boundaries and took risks, but no risk was as big as when Maya brought Josh back home with her one night. Everyone was out, Cory and Topanga getting a night out together as Riley went on a date herself and Auggie spent the night with a friend. Josh had taken Maya to a party that ended up with everyone being kicked out when a fight broke out. Maya smirked to him when she opened the door to a dark apartment. “Looks like everyone is out.” She told him flirtatiously. His eyebrows rose when he returned her grin, walking in and slipping his arms around her from behind.

“Well it would be a shame to let that go to waste.” He muttered against her neck as he kissed her pale skin softly.

“Mmm, my thoughts exactly.” She told him as she turned around in his arms. She got on her toes to close the gap between their mouths, her arms moving up around his neck. There was something exciting about being in this home, this center of perfection, breaking every unspoken rule possible with Josh. Her fingers slid through his dark hair, scratching the back of his neck and taking steps backwards slowly.

Josh moved with Maya through the dark apartment, laughing some as they stumbled but didn’t want to stop kissing. When they got inside Riley and Maya’s bedroom, Maya didn’t bother reaching for the light instead reaching for Josh’s t-shirt. He kicked the door closed before he let her pull it off, backing her towards the bed he knew to be hers. Maya broke away from Josh to kick off her shoes and moved to the bed. In moments he was lying beside her, kissing her deeply as his hand moved under her shirt.

Josh’s hands weren’t the only ones to roam, Maya’s moved over him as well, down his stomach and over the pelvic bone. She rubbed against the mound in his jeans, loving the little noises he made when he liked something she did. He pulled off her shirt, his lips trailing down over newly exposed skin as she undid the button on his jeans and slid her hand inside. The danger of the moment, the place and possibility of being caught only made it more exciting for the two of them as they went at each other with the same desperation a man in the desert went for water.

Josh gave her shorts a tug, bringing them - and her panties - down her thighs. His fingers were against her, rubbing and thrusting instantly as his mouth crashed into hers. The kisses grew sloppier but they didn’t care, any mistake made – a lip bit or teeth hitting one another – only made them laugh. There were no mistakes noticed between them, only passion.
