Always There

Chapter 10 - Reunion

It was a few days later and Monday.
Shawn and Katy had to get to work while Maya and Josh stayed at the apartment.
Of course it was nice to just be able to catch up and see what the other was going to do for the day but it was also weird.

"Have you heard from your friends or not yet?" Josh asked as they were playing a board game.
"Okay out with it Joshua," Maya said.
"What do you mean?" Josh asked.
"I know you Mr Matthews. You are planning something," Maya said and Riley barged in the apartment with Lucas and Zay.

"Surprise!" Riley said.
"You're back," Maya said.
"Wow. Thought you would be a bit more excited," Lucas said.
"What did you expect Friar?" Josh said.
"What's he doing here?" Zay asked.
"I'll leave you guys to catch up. I'll call you later," Josh said and gave Maya a kiss on her head before going out of the apartment.

"Was that needed Zay?" Maya asked as she stood up.
"Who does he think he is to talk to me like that?" Lucas asked.
"My boyfriend and the only one who cares. Leave him alone," Maya said.
"Boyfriend? Since when?" Lucas asked.
"Since April I heard," Riley said.
"If Farkle is coming through that door I'm losing my mind," Maya said.

"Ladies," Farkle said and Maya sigh.
"Farkle. I haven't heard from you in awhile," Riley said.
"How come we're here?" Smackle asked.
"If you think bringing everyone here is gonna help you're mistaking," Maya said.
"Why don't you tell everybody about your boyfriend? Didn't think we would hide stuff like this from each other," Riley said.
"Listen if you want to tell them about me and Josh go ahead. I'm not playing guess games," Maya said.
"Since when?" Smackla asked.
"April. It's no big deal. We found each other eventually after years of feelings. Yes. We didn't even play the long game for a year but we decided to give that up. It's our every right to do so. It's not like any of you ever cared. Close the door when you head out," Maya said and went to her room.
"That was successful," Lucas said.
