Joshua and Maya were out of Riley's apartment and
were walking towards the elevator.

"So how long have you been liking me?" Joshua
asks Maya.

That's when I saw you for the first time
And I was paralyzed

"I guess ever since I saw you for the first time back
in Philly when me and Riley came to visit you guys
when we were little" Maya said blushing slightly.

"Interesting" Joshua says.

"So what about you? When did you first start liking
me?" Maya asks Joshua when they reached the
elevator. She pressed the button and they both
walked in.

You, you walked into the room
On a Friday afternoon
That's when I saw you for the first time
And I was paralyzed

"That moment when you first walked through the
front door with Riley and everyone. My heart started
ticking and I couldn't take my eyes off of you. Then it
started more when you fought with me for the TV
remote and we both landed on the floor and then
Riley had to break us up" Joshua said chuckling at
the memory.

"Haha yeah I remember we fought for almost half an
hour and then finally Riley broke us up" Maya said
chuckling also.

"Yup. So where are you taking me for our very first
date ?" Joshua asks.

"I decided a movie and then a walk through Central
park. That fine with you Joshie?" Maya asked
teasingly.

"Yes it's fine with me Maya" Joshua said smiling.

The elevator doors opened and both of them walked
out and then out of the apartment building. They
headed to the movies first. Joshua let Maya pick the
movie and she picked MockingJay. He paided for
the tickets and they headed inside.

Maya went to the snack area and bought one large
popcorn and a large soda.

The man handed her their snacks and she walked
back to Joshua.

"I'm ready" Maya says holding the snacks.

"Okay let's go" Joshua says.

Joshua and Maya walked into the the theater and
chose the seats in the back. They sat down and the
movie started. About 2 hours later the movie ended.

Maya and Joshua then walked to Central Park for the
second half of their date.

They walked down a trail that went through the
center of Central Park and wrapped around it. With
benches there every 2-3 feet.

The walk went for about half an hour in comfortable
silence and just enjoting the nature and scenery
around them. Maya's feet had started to get tired so
they decided to sit on the bench and rest for a little
bit.

The weather was starting to turn a bit chilly and
Maya had forgotten to bring a jacket. She started
shivering.

"C-C-COLD" She said through her chattering teeth.
She was rubbing her arms vigorously up and down
trying to get warm. Joshua saw that Maya was cold
and gave her his jacket.

"Here" Joshua said and took off his jacket and
wrapped it around Maya.

"Thanks Josh" Maya said with a smile clutching his
jacket.

"Maya I've really liked you for a long time and after
this awesome first date I was wondering..Will you be
my girlfriend?" Joshua asked her.

"Oh my god YES! YES YES Josh!" Maya said
excitedly and hugged Joshua tightly.

Joshua leaned in and placed his lips on Maya's lips.
Maya not knowing what was happening leaned in too
and placed her lips on Joshua's lips. Maya moaned.
The kiss was full of vigor and passion and
sweetness. They both felt electricty running through
themselves.

It was going to go longer but they had to come up for
air. They broke apart. Grinning at each other. It felt
like a thousand sparks filling up their whole bodies.

"W-W-WOW that was WoW" Maya said at a loss of
words at what had just happened.

"Yeah that was something" Joshua said blushing.

"Yeah" Maya said still a bit surprised at everything.

"Now I would do it again but.." Joshua said but then
cut himself off by getting startled at the time on his
watch.

"Oh my god it's almost 10 minutes before six. We
have to get home or else I'm going to get yelled at
and be in trouble by your "mom" Joshua said startled
at the time.

"Yeah your right and I'm going to get grounded for
two weeks if we're late. Let's go" Maya said quickly
and got up from the bench. Joshua got up quickly
and they both ran back to their building quickly so
they both wouldn't get yelled at.

Riley was pacing back and forth in the main room
wondering where Maya and Joshua were. It was
almost six and they weren't back yet. She had
specifically told Joshua to bring Maya back by six
and no later.

And if they were late they were going to have an
angry Riley and a grounding. Suddenly the door
opened in a flash and Riley quickly turned around and
saw a panting Joshua and Maya in the doorway
hunched over trying to catch their breath.

Joshua and Maya lifted themselves up and saw a
slight angry Riley walking towards them.

"Okay before you say anything it's 5:59 technically
so we're not late. So you can't yell at us" Joshua said
before Riley was about to scold them.

"Point taken Josh" Riley said with her arms folded
across her chest looking proud at her very smart
uncle.

"Yeah and I don't get a grounding" Maya added also.

"Okay no grounding" Riley said.

"Awesome" Maya said smiling.

"Now I have to get back to the hotel before I get
yelled at by mom and dad. By Riley." Joshua said
and made his way towards Maya.

"I'll call you later. Okay?" Joshua whispered in
Maya's ear and kissed her on the cheek. Maya
started blushing and nodded. Joshua took his jacket
off of Maya and went out the door and back to the
hotel.

"Okay now I have two questions. 1) Did something
happen on the date? And 2) Why were you wearing
Josh's jacket?" Riley asked with suspicion at what
Joshua did and why Maya was blushing.

"Shut up! I'll tell you everything in your room" Maya
said mad at Riley.

Riley nodded and she and Maya went in to her
bedroom.

Riley locked the door once they were inside and they
sat in the bay window area.

"So here's what we did. I took him to go see
Mockingjay and he paid for the tickets. The movie
was awesome. Then we took a walk through Central
Park and I asked him stuff like 'When did you first
start liking me?' and stuff like that and everything.
We got tired after half an hour so we sat on one of the
benches and took a rest break. I was feeling cold and
shivering and Joshua gave me his jacket. Then he
asked me in a kind of nervous if I wanted to be his
girlfriend and I said 'Yes' and then we kissed" Maya
said explaining everything to Riley that had
happened on the date.

"OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD! I'm so
happy Maya that everything went well and that Josh
asked you to be his girlfriend!" Riley was saying
excitedly.

"I know you are Riley" Maya said feeling happy.

Riley hugged Maya after hearing the good news.
They let go after a few seconds. Riley was smiling at
looking at how happy Maya was. She felt happy
seeing her best friend happy.

Maya felt really happy about everything that had
happened and she felt like she was on cloud nine.
Everything was going great.
