Someday

Chapter 2

Josh's P.O.V

I'm driving back to New York to see my brother and his wife. They wanted to see me for something. And for some reason I can't get a certain blonde out of my head the whole drive there. I haven't seen her since she was in high school. That was six years ago.

I walk through their door. "My brotha." I said as I walk in. "My brother." Cory responded "Hey uncle Josh." My twelve year old nephew said from beside his mom. "Hey Auggie. Hey Panga. Where's Riley?" I asked looking around. She's always over. "She went away for a few days. But she just called and suggested that we go up to the family cottage for a vacation and we thought it would be nice for you to come with us." Topanga says. "Yeah okay. Sounds good. When?" I question. My brother looks at his wife and she looks back at him. "Within the next week or so. Once Riley gets back. Riley and I have about a week left before summer starts for the students. And Lucas will be putting in for his vacation." Cory said. I nod my head in understanding. "Who all is gonna be there?" "If you're asking about if Maya will be there. We don't know. That girl has been so busy I don't think she'll have time." I look at my sister in law as she says that. "Why would I be wondering if Maya was gonna be there? I was just curious about who all was going to be coming with us." I explain but that doesn't stop the smirk from spreading across her face.

Maya's P.O.V

I had to get to the gallery earlier then everyone else to help set up everything and to make sure everything went smoothly. And just before everyone arrives I run into my office and lock the door so I can change out of my street clothes and make sure my hair and makeup are okay.

Once I step out I see that people have already started to arrive. I go around and greet and thank all the people that have come while looking for my friends and parents. I can't find them by the time I hear a clinking sound. I grab a glass of champagne off a tray that's passing me before turning to the small stage we have set up.

"Hello everyone. I would like to call up to the stage the only person who could have possibly pulled off such an amazing event. Ms. Maya Hunter!" Drew (my assistant manager) says into the microphone. I walk up the stairs to the stage and take the mic from his hands. "Thank you Andrew for that amazing introduction. Now I would love to take this time to welcome you all here and thank you for all the amazing donations you have provided us with. I would also like to thank the people who got me to this point. I know you're in the crowd somewhere so thank you. Just a little reminder that there will be a silent auction starting in half an hour. For now enjoy the food, music and the art. And have a great time." I say before placing my mic back down on the D.J table behind me before walking back down to find my friends.

I stop once I see a light blue dress that I would know anywhere.

I walk over to the small group and speak up. "Well don't you all look great." I said to my best friends as I hug my mom. "Peaches. This is absolutely incredible. You did such an amazing job." Riley said pulling me in for a hug. "I'm so glad you guys are here. It makes everything so much easier." I tell them "So did you make a decision?" Farkle asks and I laugh lightly. "Wouldn't you like to know." I tease and Lucas chuckles. "I'll let you guys know once I finish a couple more things. But for now please have fun. Look at the art have some food. I've got an auction to start." I tell them and they all nod before they all wonder off splitting up.

Later that night

The exhibit has finally come to an end. We raised a lot of money and got a lot of compliments on the gallery and the art. I'm back in my office changing back into my street clothes when I hear my phone ring. I don't bother looking at the caller ID when I pick it up. "Hello?" I say into the speaker. "Maya?" I hear from the other end. "Yes? How can I help you." I replied still not recognizing the voice on the other end. They don't respond right away so I pull my phone away from my ear to look at the ID and my heartbeat picks up a little when I see the name displayed on my screen. I was starting to loose hope in our someday deal. "Josh? Is that you?" I ask and I hear him chuckle. "Yeah it's me." He finally responds. "Is everything okay? Why'd you call so late?" I ask him. "Everything is okay Maya. I just wanted to see how you were doing. And what do you mean by late. It's almost 6:30 in the morning." "Crap that's right. I forgot about the timezone differences. It's 1:30 in the morning here. And everything is going really well. How about for you?" I tell him. "Timezone differences? Where are you? What are talking about?" He questions me. "I'm in England Josh. I have been for the past few years. I thought you knew that." I explain and he sighs. "Well that would explain why no one has seen you around the past little while. And to answer your question. Everything is good for me too." "Yeah that would explain that. And that's really good Josh. I'm glad to hear that." I say with a small laugh before I look at my watch. "Look I'm so sorry to cut this call so short but I've had a really long day and it's getting late. Could I call you later in the day maybe?" I say as I realize how late it really is. "Yeah no worries. I would really like to hear what you've really been up to lately." He says before saying goodbye and hanging up on me.

I walk out of the gallery and lock the doors up before heading back to my place.

Right as I walk through the door I'm bombed by questions from my friends. "Okay. Okay. Guys calm down do you want answers?" I asked holding my hand up a little to try and calm them down. They all nod. "Alright. To answer the main question I know you're all dying for. Yes. I will go on a vacation with you guys." I tell them and they all start cheering. "But." I start cutting off their cheers. "Before we leave I have a few loose ends I need to tie up first." I explain and they all nod.

Finally we all split up and head to bed for the night. After the long day I had today I am not looking forward to waking up early tomorrow for work.

The Next Day

I got up bright and early again like always. My friends are up with me this time because they're heading back to New York today and I'll be joining them later on this week when we all head up to the cottage. "Okay you guys. Do we have everything?" My mom asked as her and my dad walked through my door. Everyone nods. We all walk out together. Once downstairs, my dad and Lucas load all their bags into the trunk of the rental car as I hug my mom and Riley saying goodbye. "Alright baby girl. We're on off. Be careful and we will see you in a little under a week. I love you sweetie." My mom says as she hugs me before passing me over to my dad. After we all say our goodbyes I head to work.
