Destiny

Chapter 11

Maya POV

I was nervous about the dinner that was about to happen soon. Lucas grabbed my hand and together we mad our way into Mom's apartment. It was decided that we were going to do dinner at her place rather than a public setting. Mom had everything set up beautifully and went with a simple dinner. She made Spaghetti with Garlic Bread, and salad. The smell of the garlic hit me when we entered her apartment making my mouth water. I was a bit surprised that my dad was already there when we arrived. I had a feeling that Mom was the reason behind that.  Mom called us to the table shortly after we got there. 

I sat down at the table and picked up a piece of garlic bread putting it on my plate. I looked over at my dad and decided I was going to break the awkward silence that filled the room. "I haven't introduced the two of you yet. This is my boyfriend Lucas and also Kinleigh's father." 

My dad looked up from his plate and his landed on Lucas "Nice to meet you Lucas." 

"Thank's. Nice to meet you too." Lucas answered. 

"Thank you agreeing to this dinner  Maya." my dad said as he put some salad on his plate. 

I looked up with a small smile "You're welcome." 

My mom looked up from her plate and looked at my dad "So what have you been up to the past 18 years?" she said and I gave her a look then looked at Lucas who was smiling.

"Be nice, Mom." I said and she sighed. 

My dad turned to look at me "It's fine Maya. I deserve it." he replied "And Katy I'm married now but no other children and I've been working for an insurance company." 

"I see." my mom replied. 

"So Maya tell me about yourself. Do you have any hobbies?" 

"I love art. It's a passion of mine. I like to draw, paint, sketch you name it. As far as anything else I babysit Lucas little sister and now my classes have started at NYU. I"m majoring in social work." 

"Maya is an excellent artist." Lucas said as he squeezed my hand. "She's doing all the wall decor in the babies nursery." 

"You must get that from your grandmother. She has a passion for art as well. and I'm proud of you for getting into NYU." my dad replied, "Speaking of the baby and the nursery I'd love to take you out and get you whatever you need." 

I took a sip of tea and placed it back down on the table "Thank you I appreciate it but we have picked a lot of the bigger stuff out already. " 

"If there is anything else you need please let me know."  he replied. 

My started chuckling and I looked at her confused as to why she was laughing "What is so funny?" 

"Just that he's all about helping you out with the baby stuff you need but 18 years ago left me to get everything on my own and raise you on my own." she replied and even though I wanted to tell her to be nice I understood where she was coming from. 

"I'm sorry Katy for all of that. I told you before that I regret all of the bad and stupid decisions that I made."  

"You know Katy, regardless you did an amazing job raising Maya. She's an amazing person and is going to be an amazing mother all thanks to you." Lucas said to my mom and she smiled at him. 

"Thank you Lucas." she replied. 

After we finished dinner Mom brought out dessert. She made a couple of pies and they were so good.  Mom had a few moments where she snapped at my Dad but other than that the dinner went good. I got to know him better and we planned to see each other again. It was nice to kind of have a family dinner which something I never had growing up aside from just having dinner with my mom.  Lucas and I picked up Kenzie at Topanga's and took her to back to Lucas's moms because she wasn't staying with us tonight. After putting her to bed I joined Lucas in his old bedroom. 

I laid down in bed beside him and he turned over on his side so he was facing me. He looked at me with a smile. "You doing okay?" he asked me. 

"Yeah I'm fine. It's just kind of weird and awkward." I said with a smile. 

"You held up really good. I'm proud of you." 

"Well I had an amazing boyfriend by my side and he made everything better." I replied. 

"Sounds like he's a keeper." Lucas answered. 

"Yeah I don't know if I'd take that far, Huckleberry." I joked. 

Lucas re-positioned himself so he was now hovering over me. I felt his hands making their way under the blanket and brushing along my thigh "Hmm well I don't think you would be able to find someone else who could make you feel as good as I do with a simple touch." he said as his hands continued making their way up my thigh. I closed my eyes and shuddered at his touch. My breathing hitched a little and he smirked. 

"I guess you're right." I said as I grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him closer to me. Our lips crashed and I kissed him so ferociously that I think it caught him by surprise. My tongue brushed along his as we made out. 

We pulled away and his lips made their way to my neck. I let out a small moan as my body reacted to his touch. He was right there was no one else that could make me feel the way he does and I knew he felt the same way for me because when we re-positioned ourselves making it so I was now straddling him I could feel it. I leaned down and kissed him softly. His hands were cupping my cheeks as he smiled into his mouth. After we got done the two of us cuddled and just talked in bed about different thing until his Mom got home.
