Late Night Pizza
I've noticed that there are hardly any Bamy fanfics so I've decided to write one. It's probably due to the fact that they aren't a very popular couple but I've always found them cute in a very cheesy way in season 1.
A/N: This is an AU- it takes in the rhythm of the night episode- what happened if Amy did let Ben into the house.
Ben decided to drive over to Amy's house, he knew she would be home by now because the mother daughter dance had just finished. He was so nervous about driving over to Amy's house because he was scared she would reject her, but he had to go over there because he loved her. He honestly couldn't blame her if did because Amy had a lot of trust issues. Her dad cheated on her mom, her two best friends are the world's biggest gossipers and the guy she had a baby with made her feel like a total slut. Ben couldn't help but feel jealous of Ricky because of the bond he would always have with Amy.
Boy did he wish that he could get over her because his life would be simple. His relationship with Amy had everything against it; she was pregnant with another guy's baby. He knew they were going to have a complicated relationship but he didn't think it would be this hard. Since his break up with Amy he had been out with Grace and Maria and they were both great girls but he didn't feel about them the same way as he did for Amy. Ben needed closure from his relationship with Amy, to see if there is a chance for them to get back to way things were when they first met.
He stayed in his car for a few moments, thinking about what he was going to say to Amy or if he would even go in. They had been back and forth so much in their relationship and at times he thought about how much simpler it would've been if he hadn't of met Amy. But then again he didn't regret it.
Meanwhile Adrian was inside talking to Grace on the phone. Grace was trying to convince Adrian that Ricky was not sleeping with Amy and that she was overreacting about a condom in Amy's purse. Adrian however was not buying it; she was convinced that Amy and Ricky were sleeping together. Adrian sometimes wished that she did not fall for a guy like Ricky he wasn't dependable or trustworthy like Ben. But she was in love with Ricky, and she wanted him to feel as insecure as she did, even though she was saying that her and Amy Juergens were friends deep down, she hated her for having Ricky's baby she hated the fact that Amy gave him John the person that Ricky loved more than anyone. She ignored Grace's advice and went outside to talk to Ben because she was convinced more than ever that Ricky and Amy were sleeping together behind her back.
Adrian walked up to Ben's car and opened his door. He gave her a strange when she smiled at him seductively.
"Hi Ben, it's like you could use so company?" Adrian said seductively as she sat in the car. Ben looked at her uncomfortably.
"Adrian, what are you doing, why are you acting like this?" Ben said.
"Well we're friends Ben and I want to do something nice for you." Adrian said, smirking at Ben.
"Adrian you're with Ricky and he's my friend, what's going on?"
" I think Ricky and Amy are sleeping together, and I think we should get back at them, they put us through enough with that baby they had and I just know that there is something going on between those two. "Adrian said begrudgingly.
"Adrian you should really talk to Ricky about this and you shouldn't sleep with me because we are friends and no in love. Also what makes you assume that they are sleeping together?" Ben asked curiously.
" I don't know I just have this gut feeling that Ricky is cheating on me, he went over to Amy's house after they put John to bed and then she had a condom in her purse, so I can't help it if I'm paranoid it's Ricky."
"Look Adrian I'm sorry about that but you should really talk to Ricky, I don't think sleeping with me will help anything and I don't be involved in your drama, no offense. I also want to get back together with Amy and I know it will really hurt her and Ricky if I sleep with you." said Ben.
"Okay your right Ben, thanks for stopping me from making a big mistake you're such a good friend and I really hope things work out between you and Amy. You two are good together." Adrian said and gave Ben a hug.
"Thanks Adrian and I hope you and Ricky work things out. "
Amy had just arrived home and couldn't wait to get to bed; she was so tired and just wanted to crash straight away on her. She plopped herself on the bed, head face down on the pillow but much to her demise she heard the doorbell ring. Agh! Is no one going to answer! The bell wouldn't stop dinging, so Amy pulled herself out of bed and got up to answer.
She opened the door and it was Ben. He was just standing there with a box of pizza smiling at her, and she just stared at him for a few moments.
"Ahh I know this is short notice but I was wondering if you'd like some pizza and if we could talk" Ben said hesitantly.
"Why did things not work out with Grace?" Amy said rather staunchly.
Ben rolled his eyes and shrugged his shoulders. He knew it wasn't going to be easy convincing Amy if he could come in and talk but he was going to try his hardest to.
"This isn't about Grace; I just want to talk to you, I...I miss you Amy. I miss us just being able to talk and I don't know I was hoping we could be friends." Ben asked a little desperately.
Amy had her arms folded, and thought for a moment to not let him in but then she decided against. Even though she was pissed at him, she still had a soft spot for Ben Boykevich.
"Okay come on in, Ben" she said as she motioned him into the living room.
Ben's face lit up completely when she let him and a huge smile spread across his face. The two teenagers sat themselves down on the couch and sat their awkwardly for a moments and just ate their pizza quietly. Ben decided to make the first move and begin the conversation.
"So you're probably wondering why I'm here, because I know I've been all over the place with my feelings and going back and forth but I just want you know that I'm truly sorry about not telling you about Maria. After everything that we've been through I still love you Amy."
Amy was confused, she didn't know whether to believed him or not since her and Ben had been back and forth so much.
She simply stared at him and asked "Why?"
Ben frowned a little; he was a bit confused did she really not believe that I loved her?
"Amy, how could you not believe me?!" Ben exclaimed.
"It's just you've been confused about your feelings toward me. I know I've been difficult and I can't understand why you would want to be my girlfriend. Ben I'm still angry at myself about band camp and a part of me can understand why you cheated on me" Amy said softly and she let out a mirthless chuckle.
"Amy, I hate that you feel that way and again I'm so sorry about the Maria thing. I wish I could take it all back but I can't. Amy, I haven't felt for Grace or Maria or any other girl the same way I feel about you"
Ben looked Amy and in the eyes, and grabbed her hands, much to his surprise she didn't remove her hands from his. She just looked at him deeply curious and slightly scared because she didn't know what to expect.
"Amy this past year has been very hard on both of us; especially you and I just want you to know that I'm here for you. I'll admit that I've been confused, but I love you Amy, even though you make insane most of the time. I never know what to expect with you and yet I'm still drawn to you. You're a wonderful mother to your son and you've got big heart." Ben said as he looked sincerely into her eyes.
Amy smiled at Ben's declaration of love to her. Ben was such a romantic, and that's what she had loved about him. He wasn't a realist, but he was kind and considerate and he always made people feel better. He was handsome in a dorkish way that Amy found charming.
"Ben, the fall of our relationship isn't completely your fault, it takes two for a relationship to crumble. I'm sorry if you felt that I pushed you to the side because I've had to deal with Ricky. I've just been so angry at myself and at the world for getting pregnant and having a baby at 15. I'm trying not to do that anymore because I really love John more than anything. He always comes first, and I'm scared that if we get back together, we'll go back to how we were before and be unhappy." Amy admitted
"Let's Just forget the past, and take things slow this time and remember the joy we felt when he first got together." Ben pleaded as he looked into Amy's eyes.
"I miss feeling that happy too, I agree let's go slow and how about we start with dessert" Amy said happily.
Ben laughed at Amy, and leaned forward closer to her and gave her soft a kiss on the lips, and then just looked and said "Sounds perfects". Amy smiled and reciprocated his kiss, she touched him lightly on the cheek and said "I'll just go ask Ashley if she can keep an eye on John. "
"If she doesn't say yes we can just hang out here Amy, it's nice to be with you" Ben said.
Amy walked off, and turned around looking at Ben as she walked to Ashley's room with a big smile on her face.
"What are you so happy about?" Ashley said in her monotone voice.
"I was wondering if you'd watch John for me because I would like to go out for a bit" Amy said as politely as she could.
"I knew this had something to do with a guy" Ashley scoffed. Amy just rolled her eyes at Ashley, just trying to brush off her comment.
"So who is it Ben, Jimmy or Ricky?" Ashley asked.
"Ashley just stop interrogating and help me, I hardly ever go out and I just want to go get some ice cream with Ben." Amy said sound slightly irritated.
"Well, I'm glad that you finally realized that he's the guy for you Amy. I don't why it took you so long I mean he stuck by you even though you had another guy's baby. You and mom are both nuts, but at least you finally came to you came to your senses." Ashley said in her usual sarcastic tone.
Amy was getting more frustrated by the minute, she just wanted Ashley to refrain from her snarky comments and look after John. But she wouldn't be Ashley if she didn't have some sarcastic or rude commentary to say to Amy.
Amy huffed in frustration "Would you just look after John for a while, I won't be gone for that long, please Ashley" She begged.
"Okay, Okay I'll keep an eye on him, but you owe me" Ashley said.
"Thank you Ashley! I'll keep that in mind Ashley" Amy said and rushed over to Ashley giving her a huge hug. Ashley just rolled her eyes and patted Amy on the back.
Ben and Amy finally left the house, and his driver took them to the dairy shack to get ice cream.
Ben offered his hand out for Amy to take and the two held hands as they walked over to the dairy shack. I felt like they were on their first date at the school gym where they both felt so nervous yet so at the ease with each other. They both sat their staring at each other giving dooey-eye lovey dovey looks and shared their banana split together. The dairy shack was playing music tonight because and there were a few couples dancing.
"So do you dance?" Ben asked.
Amy laughed catching onto what he was referring to. She bit her lip and shook her head "No, not really" Amy said while laughing.
"Me neither, how hard can it be" Ben said.
Amy wrapped her arms around Ben neck and the two danced together just like they did on their first date. It was different this time because Amy wasn't hiding anything; she was just purely content being with the man she loves.
I'll tell you something
I think you'll understand
when I say that something
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
Oh please say to me
You'll let me be your man
And please say to me
You'll let me hold your hand
Now let me hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
And when I touch you I feel happy inside
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide
