Authors note: I do not own any of secret life or its characters many of the scenes in the first part of the story are of the official episodes just Ashley central but other will be my own plot after season 2 episode 24 with some original scene that belong to the creator of secret life including season 3 episode 5 both episodes of which started the relationship(if you can call it that) between Ashley and Ricky I got my hopes up about them two wanting to see a proper relationship but they got Ricky together with Amy so I write this fan fiction to fulfil my needs.
Falling in love is not easy
Ricky's Point Of View
I watch as Ashley leaves talking to that Mark, I feel a surge of jealousy part of me wants to double with her so that I can spend time with her and I know that asking her out would cause major problems not to mention going there is out of the question what with her being my sons aunt an all. I realise Adrian is talking to me and stop staring.
"...Would we let her and her date go out with us?" I figured she had asked why, as she asked the question the term date ran through my mind, I didn't want Ashley to date this guy I didn't want Ashley to date any guy she was too young, 'But you like her' Stupid subconscious I really don't wanna screw things up with my son and dating his aunt could do that after all I don't have legal rights. Which brings me back to Amy refusing to let me see my son around Adrian, I'm pissed at her for that I mean I don't say anything about Ben but no Amy knows best I respect her as my son's mother, I do but she can be so selfish at times it's unreal.
"Because Adrian you need to find a way to make Amy your friend, you make friends with Ashley, Amy will come around they're sisters." I hated the thought of using Ashley like that but I needed my son I love him so much I couldn't bear to lose him.
"Ok I've never had a sister, are you sure that how it works?"
I think I know a little bit more about women than you do" I walk off to class.
Ashley's Point Of View
I'm sitting in the kitchen of the house we are about to move out of and back in next door, I am talking to dad about my date tonight
"Do you mind if I go out tonight"
"With your new friend Griffin not at all you can go out with your number one gay anytime you want, who's driving?"
"Ricky" I say this as attentively as I can because I know he's not going to like me going out on a date with any guy much less Ricky driving us round on our date.
"Ricky?" I can hear the disbelieve and question in his voice he wants to know if Ricky is my date 'I wish' Once again my stupid subconscious buts in on my thoughts
"Yeah were going out with Ricky and Adrian not griffin and me, this guy named Mark" Griffin knocks on the door and comes in
"Hi George, I need to speak to Ashley if I may"
"Who's Mark?" Dad directs the question at both Griffin and me, Griffin answers
"A-No-Good-Nick, I have to hear it from someone else that you're going out, I mean I thought you were thinking of going out I didn't know you were going out"
Before I can say anything my dad speaks up
"She's not going out" WHAT!
"You just said I could go out"
"With him" pointing to Griffin
Huh he gets on my nerves sometimes. I tell him mom is on bed rest to get rid of him
"What?" he questions then leaves to find her
I stand up and turn to Griffin
"Look it's no big deal, were just gonna hang out with Ricky and Adrian"
"Your just gonna hang out with two sluts" I get defensive about him calling Ricky a slut I mean sure the guy sleeps around but he has problems, problems which he uses sex as a an escape it's not like the girls don't give consent yet they blame him when he doesn't call them even though he is perfectly honest with them, they don't hear him when he says he doesn't want a commitment they sleep with him expect him to be the opposite of what he has told them then when he doesn't throw strops.
"Hey that slut just happens to be the father of my nephew" Figuring this would be a better reply than the rant inside my head
"And the other slut"
"What's wrong with Adrian you know what I like Adrian" This is true I kind of like her honesty I mean I know she can be a bitch but hey so can I
"Oh and my sister would be"
"A cautionary tale" Yeah right good girl Amy even though she gets pregnant she is still considered the good girl.
"Oh well, were probably going over to that church thing" Referring to Grace's TAG (Teen Abstinence Group)
"To the sex group"
"It's the no sex group"
"No thank you, no-no-no any talk of abstinence in a group is trouble" OMG this guy can seriously over react sometimes
My dad walks in
"I don't know who the hell Mark is but you're not going out with him or anyone else, your mother is on bed rest were are all staying in with her tonight"
"Alright, is everything okay?" He seems kind of angry did he and mom argue?
"It will be, just tell me where you were gonna go with some guy I haven't even heard of or met"
I told him about the TAG he asked me if Grace hadn't already had sex with Jack before, jack being her Ex boyfriend, he told me when I confirmed that they had that I didn't need to go and listen to teenager talk about not having sex because all that does is make you want to have sex and that I am not having sex.
He goes to walk up the stairs then tells me that we are gonna be spending time together as a family while mom is on bed rest. 'I wonder if that means Ricky will be over more' No do not think like that!
Later that night Mark stopped by the house and knocked on the door, I stepped outside and closed the door behind me
"I just came by to tell you I'm sorry we couldn't hang out" Yeah right
"I don't believe you"
"Alright my mom's in the car with griffin right now and I'm kind of nervous she is gonna think I'm gay so I was hoping I could make a display of affection towards you" Excuse me does this guy seriously expect me to kiss him just so he can prove to his mother he is not gay and most certainly not if he is homophobic I told him exactly that
"I just came home from church with an openly gay guy how can you accuse me of being homophobic?" I see his point
"Wait your not using this mother excuse just to get me to kiss you are you?"
"Would that work" the nerve of this guy
"No"
We talked there for a while a I realised he wasn't all that bad I ended up kissing him it was ok for a first kiss an all but I couldn't help but think in the back of my mind that I wanted it to be Ricky.
