I'm starting this story approx. 3 weeks after the grad party.*warning may incorporate spoilers*
Chapter 1: Sweet Dreams
"I really should be sleeping right now," said a very restless Amy.
The past few weeks since graduation have been a whirlwind to say the least. After the chaos of the graduation party things have been sketchy. Lauren has been calling round the clock since her and Madison aren't on good terms, but Amy hasn't been complaining because she needs a friend right now. Although being moved to the main "bff" role can be tiresome she found herself enjoying the attention.
She really couldn't say the same about Ricky he has been very understanding but between Lauren's pop up visits and him working and "John time" they never really have time for the just the two of them anymore.
A little us time. she thought as she looked up at Ricky who was sound asleep.
She couldn't help but smile as she watched him intently as she did every night from the first time she slept over. That first night in particular was one of her favorites, it was Johns birthday. One of their first nights together as a family; well besides the countless nights he slept over the summer she first had John but that night it was different. Johns 1st birthday was when she started letting herself feel for Ricky…as more than a friend.
Back then she knew he wasn't yet ready to be the man she needed him to; so she told herself she would continue to love him as the father of her son and lock away all her other emotions the best she could. Once they got there things settled they helped John open his presents and had some cake and ice cream. Ricky and Amy shared laughs as they watched John smear cake all over himself trying to reach his mouth.
"You're too cute," Amy said to a smiling John.
Ricky had turned to look at her and she immediately said John…he's too cute she said her cheeks flushed red. He gave that little smile he always gave her liking how he always makes her nervous.
"I know" he said thinking back to their band camp days.
After they got John bathed and put to bed Ricky set up his bed for Amy to sleep.
"Are you sure you don't want the bed, I don't want to intrude?" Amy said furrowing her eyebrow.
"Amy I'm sure, I wouldn't want you anywhere else but my bed." Ricky replied.
Amy gave him a surprised look and he realized that his words came out wrong.
"Don't get excited you know what I meant" he said with a smile.
Amy rolled her eyes and cracked a smile telling him she knew what he meant.
During that night Amy got thirsty so she went to the kitchen to get some water. As she was going back to Ricky's room curiosity got the best of her so she went over to the couch where he was sleeping. He was sleeping so peacefully, beautiful even; she couldn't have been staring at him for more than 5 minutes when she heard a noise and hauled ass back to his bedroom before he caught her.
Thinking back at that moment she giggled to herself at how in denial she was back then. Now-a-days she could stare at him all day long and not care, my how things have changed. She snuggled up closer to him and stole a kiss, his breathing rose and he adjusted himself pulling her closer.
She smiled and closed her eyes; nights like this made her hate mornings her heart was so full of love and joy.
Glancing at her ring, "I love you Ricky," was the last words she said before dosing off to face another chaotic morning.
First story this chapter is kind of short but the next will be longer promise. Review;)
