This is an older one-shot. Not my best at all.

It was placed between season 1 and 2.


Adrian Lee:

Strong, bold, blunt, and sexy and no one messed with her. She never let people walk over her and she always stood up for herself. She wasn't afraid to face her fears and she always spoke her mind. If people were to argue with her, she would always win. Some would call her a bitch, others would call her fierce.

But everyone has their weaknesses.

Her weakness would be Ricky Underwood.


Ricky Underwood:

A hot mess. He was confused all over and trying to sort out his life. He was traumatized as a child. He always told himself that the past makes him a stronger person, but he still hurts. He is very self-centered, sarcastic, direct and very attractive. This is probably why he has every girl he sees and talks to under his spell. He is complicated, and definitely confusing.

Which is why, Adrian Lee loved him. He was a challenge.

A challenge she was up for.


Adrian was sitting in her bedroom reading her novel for English. Her eyelids were heavy and drooping, but she needed to stay up; Ricky was coming by.

She never turned down an opportunity to be with Ricky anymore, she knew that if she did he would possibly be with Amy or some other girl he slept with. A sense of jealousy and bitterness washed over her at the mere thought.

People would tell Adrian that she was just another girl he slept with, and played with her heart. She would tell them otherwise. Ricky opens himself up to Adrian sometimes and it is truly captivating. Adrian wants to be the only one that he could do that to. She wants him to be her last and her forever.

That was asking for a miracle.

Adrian heard her door slightly open and Ricky look inside. She smiled seductively and he walked inside quickly, his face emotions were pure lust. Adrian's heart fluttered and she felt butterflies when Ricky smirked in her direction. His white teeth were perfect against his skin tone, and his lips were so kissable. Adrian bit her lip forcing herself to not jump him there.

Ricky took off his running shoes and threw them across the room. He already seemed in a rush which was a major turn off, but she was going to accept it either way. But her being Adrian, she felt she could just buy her and Ricky some time; she just wanted to talk to him.

Ricky threw off his shirt revealing a perfectly sculpted torso which made Adrian's heart stop beating; her eyes were glued to him and only him. When it finally began to beat again (it actually didn't stop, it just felt that way), it was pumping faster than normal. She flipped her hair in a sexy way which made Ricky even more eager. He jumped on her bed and kissed her lips gently, then became fiercer- she pulled away. She just wanted to talk first before they dove into anything; she knew that talking and interacting other than being physical with each other always builds a relationship.

"Ricky! Stop!" she started laughing when he was smiling seductively to her.

"I just want to talk first!" Adrian pushed him away and he winced when her manicured nails scratched his smooth skin. He sighed and sat back against one of her pillows with his hands behind his head.

"What is there to talk about Adrian? I just want to do this and head home. It has been a long day…" Ricky trailed as he ran his hands through his hair roughly. "Between seeing John and arguing with Amy about everything after going to her house when I was done working, I just need some loving."

"Well then talk to me! What were you and Amy arguing about?" Adrian asked in her attempt to spark conversation.

"We argued about you, Adrian," Ricky said bluntly. She wants to talk so they'll talk, Ricky wasn't going to lie and say nothing.

Adrian raised an eyebrow suspiciously, puckered her lips and gave him an odd look.

"What about me?"

"She doesn't want John around you," he said while running his hands through his hair. One strand fell out and landed on his cheek. Adrian lifted her hand and brushed it away delicately with her thumb.

"She doesn't matter, Ricky. He's your son too!" Adrian straddled his lap and kissed his cheek, earning a moan out of Ricky when she wiggled her hips a smidgen.

"I know, but she does matter; she's the mother of my son! It's so much more complicated then you perceive it to be." Ricky ran his fingers up her arm gently, leaving behind goose bumps from where he touched. Adrian shivered and enjoyed the warmth she felt radiating off of him.

"It doesn't have to be," Adrian whispered softly.

"It is. Everything about my life is complicated. I'm complicated, we're complicated," Ricky shrugged.

"We are complicated yet we love each other enough to actually stay," Adrian whispered as she leaned in closer to him. He looked up at the ceiling and spoke.

"Have you ever thought that life wouldn't be as confusing if you didn't keep being with me? If you just forgot about me and moved on?" Ricky questioned. That question caught Adrian off guard.

"I haven't thought about it because I can't see life without you Ricky, I love you." Adrian felt her voice crack. She wasn't about to cry but it was hard to think about. It also hurt because Ricky didn't say it back.

Adrian quickly wanted to change the subject.

"What else did you and Amy fight about?" Adrian asked, she wanted to help him sort through his problems, but it was very tough.

"She said that I was probably just cheating on you," Ricky sat up and gazed into her eyes.

"Why would she think that?" Adrian's spat fiercely.

"Who doesn't think that Adrian?" Ricky said sarcastically. Adrian had enough and got out of bed. She grabbed her robe and put it on and turned away. Ricky got out of her bed quickly and grabbed her hand.

"Oh come on Adrian, don't be like that," Ricky said, trying to make the situation better but failing.

"Ricky, I've had enough. I've had enough of the drama that is ruining my life. I don't think I can handle it anymore!" Adrian felt her eyes burn with un-shed tears.

"That's not true. No matter how many times we fight or cheat, you will always come back," Ricky whispered knowingly.

"No. Not anymore!" Adrian argued.

"Yes," Ricky murmured.

He leaned in closer to Adrian. Their bodies were touching and Adrian could feel the heat. She felt his icy breath against her face and she was love drunk just off the feel of it. She wanted to stay in this moment forever. The way he towered over her, the way she could feel his soft skin against hers…

He interrupted her thoughts when he lightly touched her arm with his finger tips and ran it down her arm gently. He reached her hand that was hanging limply at her sides and moved his hand to the small of her back. He bent down a little bit and brushed his lips against hers, it felt like her knees buckled.

Finally, he cupped her cheek and kissed her deeply.

She instantly forgot everything that had just transpired between then and was only lost in the moment. They were the only two people left on earth. She forgave him for everything and it didn't matter anymore whether or not they fought or he was cheating.

She would work on it later.

It is true; Ricky Underwood is Adrian Lee's weakness.
