SLOTAT

RETHINKING RICKY

BY. HEATMIZZER

LISTEN UP! I'm back to give you some more SLOTAT, so please check this out!

Why is that no one ever examines the reasons behind John? What if Ricky had truly wanted Amy, that it wasn't just one night and one moment.

How could anyone he be that angry, be that annoyed by something that he knew was not the best thing for Amy? Ricky sat back and pondered. As he watched Amy playing with John and the new guy at the picnic table. Amy should have been with Ben and Ricky knew that but was it his place to tell her?

"You know, I could be insulted rather than utterly content." A voice said from beside him, as Ricky looked over, Ben stood nearby watching Amy as well.

"Well good for you, you're finally free from Amy." Ricky said irritated.

"That may be the case, but what I said wasn't for me, it was for you." Ben added.

"What are you getting at Boyvewich because I really don't feel like it?"

"I'm getting at the reason you pushed me to stay with Amy, it was because you knew I wouldn't try anything or do anything to jeopardize your side of this situation." Ricky looked at Ben confused. "When I thought about the reasons for me to give up Amy and the reasons not, and then your reasons for me to stay. I came to the conclusion that your reasoning isn't because of me being with Amy but because you could lose Amy."

"Look, as I told Adrian and now I'm telling you, Amy and I, aren't?"

"Look I hate to admit this but I beg to differ, you see I was talking to Mr. Juergens after the break up and oddly enough he asked me, "why could I do that to Amy?" Although he meant it for me, it made me ask that same question concerning you. I mean, everyone knows you've had many girls and you always say your smart and use protection, so how come with Amy it wasn't a thought?"

"Look, I don't owe you an explanation but if you really want to know, you don't always think in those moments and it just happened." Ricky replied.

"Ben?" Betty and Mr. Boyvewich called out from the limo window.

"Well, that's my cue…but Ricky, how come, out of all those other moments you've had you always thought beforehand? Was it because you actually felt something for her, I'm mean she isn't easy, she wasn't experienced and she had a great family base at least beforehand. Maybe the thought of being with someone like Amy made you a better person?" Ben said walking away as Ricky looked up at Amy who looked at him smiling. Immediately Ricky walked over towards the table and up to John.

"So is everything ready?" Ricky said ignoring the gentleman with Amy.

"Yeah, it's all there. Um, Ricky, this is Matthew, Matthew, this is Ricky, John's dad."

"Oh, really? Well, Hello, you have a great son." Matthew replied putting his hand out as Ricky looked at it ignoring him.

"Ricky?-"

"Oh, no, it's alright, besides I think our order is ready, I'll just go and pick it up." Matthew said walking away. Immediately Amy looked at Ricky angered by his manner.

"You know what, you're a jerk."

"I'm not a jerk, I just don't think that you should be bringing our son around gentlemen whom you may or may not hook up with."

"Yet, it's ok for our son to be around a girl who you sleep with, consistently."

"Look, Adrian and Ben where in this to begin with, and now just because your trying to make Ben jealous again, doesn't give you a right to bring my son in this."

"How dare you suggest that I'm making Ben jealous, he broke up with me, he's at fault and I would never use John in anything like that. I don't know what kind of girls you've been with or around but I am not like that, or is it what you think I am, I did mess up once." Amy replied as silence set in, Ricky grabbed John's chair and bag and left as Matthew came back over.

"It was good seeing you, Ricky?"

"Look, cut the crap, if you hurt, touch, or blink badly at Amy, I will kill you." Ricky said walking away, as Amy came up to Matthew.

"What did he say?"

"It was more of what he's going to do to me."

"What?"

"It was a threat?"

"About John?"

"No, about you, I think something like, if I hurt, touch or blink at you, he will kill me."

"Oh."

"Well, let's continue our date."

"Sure." Amy said looking at Ricky concerned.
