While knowing what he has always said Joshua Matthews allowed himself to fall in love with the beautiful, young Maya Hart.
Her age has always been a problem for him and eventually he gave up with trying to convince her.
While he is in New York City...
Seven o'clock Hawaii time and the gang finally did arrive at the guest house where they will be staying the holiday. Maya and Riley was getting settled into their room while nobody actually had an idea what Maya was thinking. After she and Josh spoke she hasn't actually been saying much to anyone not even her bets friend but Riley knew that was a sign that Maya was thinking about something huge.
"What did you and Josh talk about?" Riley asked. "I give him till the end of July to change my mind about my feelings," Maya said. "Peaches, don't. Don't punish yourself if you don't have to. Just let go of your feelings," Riley said. "If he tries at all to change my mind I'll know for sure he feels nothing. But if he does nothing..." "Okay. Well let's go. We are heading out for dinner," Riley said. "I'm not actually hungry. You guys go. I'll be fine," Maya said and Riley left the room.
"She doesn't want to come. Says she's not hungry," Riley said and Josh went inside the room.
"Trying to be difficult or what? My brother will kill me if he knows you're not eating," Josh said. "I ate in the plane," Maya said. "Maya, that was long ago. Come," Josh said. "Josh, I'm fine. I'm anyway very tired," Maya said. "After a five hour nap on the plane? Yeah, right. Just come please," Josh said and Maya grabbed her handbag.

"Ah, was my uncle able to convince you?" Riley asked.
Maya was busy putting her handbag over her shoulder when Riley made that comment and just walked past her. Josh gave his niece a look as everyone walked out of the guest house. Everyone was chatty while Josh didn't actually know what to do with himself. All of the kids together was giving him the greeps. Maya saw that he was on his own and very uncomfortable walking towards him.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Maya asked. "Nothing. Nothing is wrong. You seeing forward to the vacation? Probably the forts in awhile for you," Josh said. "More like ever. But yeah, I am. It's something different than New York and for that I'll never say no," Maya said.
As the night went on Maya and Josh finally did get a bit more comfortable with each other an dit was like the old days before Maya's feelings came. She could just talk to Josh about this and ghat like when she was seven but it wouldn't even have mattered if she was the her she was. She realizes that she was totally out of control but how to fix it she didn't know.
