Risking the Long Game ✅

42. Study Breaks and Appointments

Maya's POV

"Do you have your insurance card?" my mom asks worriedly as I sit at the kitchen table on Friday morning attempting to eat breakfast but with her constant interjections every three seconds it was becoming beyond difficult.

"Yea mom. It's in my wallet. Right next to my license which you also made sure I had. I have my discount card for CVS and I have all the information about the appointment in my phone" I assure her. "Mama I'm gonna be seventeen in three days. I can go to the doctor by myself." My phone vibrates in my pocket and I smile.

JOSH: Downstairs

Josh had finally gotten a rental car while Cory and Topanga continued to try and find him a new car. I was beyond thrilled. As much as I loved my car it was nice not to have to drive every single day. "Josh is here. I'll see you all later" I shout as I run over to the door and yank it open, grabbing my jacket and skipping down to the lobby. I push open the door and run to Josh's car. "Good morning" I smile as I settle into the seat. The car was nice, a 2010 Chevy Malibu. Plenty of foot room and a killer stereo which I more than enjoyed.

"You're in a good mood."

"Considering the way my parents were babying me this morning, that's a blessing" I reply as I slip my hand into his. "You still okay with coming to my appointment with me today?"

"Of course I am" he assures me. "Do we need to leave early?"

"Nope" I pop the p. "We just can't drag our feet. We actually have to leave school instead of hanging out by our lockers for like ten minutes."

"Okay. Whatever you need baby" he says sweetly, squeezing my hand as we pull up to the school. "Let's go get this over with."

Josh's POV

Maya is working on a computer in the lab part of the library while I'm still at our table. Every now and then I'd sneak glances at her and see her mouthing words to songs only she heard playing in her head. She was so adorable yet incredibly sexy all at the same time and she didn't even try. Her long legs were covered by a pair of skinny jeans and she was wearing a long sleeved top that was completely see through, the white fabric allowing the black bralette she was wearing underneath it to pop. She had a pair of black booties on her feet and her hair was flowing in waves around her face today. She looked absolutely stunning. I let my mind drift only to be rewarded with the uncomfortable tightening of my jeans. "Shit" I mutter as Maya makes her way back over to me with a packet in her hand.

"All done" she beams. "You okay?" she asks worriedly, eyeing me sitting uncomfortably.

"Um" I reply. "I uh. I'll be back" I tell her but she grabs my hand and pulls me back to sit down and she takes a seat beside me.

"What's wrong?" she asks worriedly.

"Nothing" I lie.

"Josh" she moans in annoyance, bowing her head. She sucks her lip into her mouth to hide her laugh as she looks back up at me. "Oh."

"I'll be back."

"Why?"

"I can't stay like this all day Maya" I laugh.

"Come here" she takes my hand and pulls me against her behind which does nothing to help my situation. We walk up the small staircase to the second floor of our library and she directs me back to the dusty end of the library that no one ever steps foot in. She grabs the zipper of my jeans and yanks it down, slipping her hand down my boxers.

"Jesus Maya."

"I did this right? You weren't thinking of someone else were you?" she checks as her hand teases me. I throw my head back and shake my head.
