1 week earlier

"WE WERE ON A BREAK!" the tv shouts, as Riley and Lucas laugh hysterically, while snuggling on the couch. Maya sat quietly watching the show and giving a glance at the couple on the other side of the couch every once in a while.

"Maya are you okay?" Lucas glances at maya with concern.

"I'm fine" she mumbles.

"you do-"

"I'm going to sleep" Maya says and she stands up and makes her way to her room. Lucas' eyes still locked on her.

"Should we make sure she's ok?"

"Don't stress about it. She probably just had a rough day at work. Plus now that she's gone it gives alone time" Riley smirks as she kisses down Lucas' jawline.

Lucas slowly pulls away. "Riley not tonight"

Riley stops frustrated. "Why not? Shouldn't you want this?"

"I'm just not ready yet. I think it's something we should talk about."

"Fine then Lucas, let's talk."

"right now?"

"right now. Why don't you feel like you are ready?"

"I just find it as something important to me. When it happens i want it to be emotional, I want passion-"

"We have that!"

"Not right now. We are on a friends marathon, stuffing our faces with popcorn and chocolate. When it happens, i want to take you out to a nice dinner have a room set up with candles and roses. I want it to be special."

"Lucas be honest with me. Have you-"

"No, you?"

Riley shakes her head in response. Silence overtook the room for a while.

"Lucas, I understand respect your decision to wait. I want to wait too." she gives a small smile that Lucas returns. She kissed him passionately, but there was no passion. No firework. No electricity. No spark. Maybe he was just used it, that he couldn't notice the difference. Maybe there wasn't suppose to be a feeling like that. Maybe it was all made up. He loved riley. This is what love feels like....right? She pulled away and gave Lucas a sour look.

"Why didn't you kiss back?"

"Sorry just a lot of stuff is going through my mind and I'm tired"

"Wanna go to bed?"

Lucas nods as they both get up walking to Riley's room. They lay down and Riley falls asleep lightning fast. Lucas laid wide awake. So many questions running through his mind.

Is there supposed to be a feeling?

Should I feel this feeling?

Will I meet someone who gives me that feeling?

His thoughts were interrupted from the sound of the TV in the living room. He untangled himself and made his way to the living room to find Maya watching Grey's Anatomy. She was focused on the TV.

"Pick me! Choose me! Love me!" The TV shouted. Maya scoffed. I furrowed my eyebrows.

"I thought you were going to sleep" i spoke and my voice made her jump. She turned around and once she saw me, she turned back to the TV.

"Well you thought wrong. I just wanted time to myself."

"What's the matter with you?"

"Nothing I'm fine. I got Grey's Anatomy in front of me, and a fuzzy blanket. I'm great"

"You seemed pissed earlier"

She ignored him and kept watching the show.

"Maya."

Still nothing. All the sudden Riley came out of the room fully dressed and bags in her hands.

"Hey guys, so my mom needs me to go to an out of state business meeting for Topanga's. She was supposed to go, but she has a case, so i just got notified."

Lucas looked at her and nodded "need a ride?"

"no I'm going get a taxi-its actually here...bye guys" Riley kissed Lucas' cheek and wave Maya goodbye as she walked out the door. Lucas' gaze immediately turns back to Maya, she's continuing to ignore his question and watch her show. Lucas stared at her intimately. Maya looked back at him.

"Do you got a fucking staring problem?" she said coldly and Lucas had enough.

"What the hell is the matter with you?" Lucas raises his voice as he stands up

"Don't fucking yell at me!" maya shouts as she too stood up taking a step closer.

"Then tell me what's going on! First you walk out when we were all hanging out-"

"Oh we all were? Sorry i didn't know you even acknowledged me over all your damn giggling!"

"I do acknowledge you! Why do you think I'm asking you what's wrong?!?"

"Seriously?!? Stop Maya!"

"See i hear you talking but all i hear is hahurr-hurr-hurr-hurr-hur-" Soon enough a pair of lips were planted on hers and she idmediatley fell into the kiss. There was passion. Electricity. Fireworks. Lucas felt it all. He lifted maya, not breaking the kiss and she wrapped her legs aound him. He lead them into the room and closed the door. The rest of the night was filled by making the best mistake.
