I hope you guys don't mind, but I decided to make this a smidge personal by referencing two of my favorite OTPs from two of my favorite TV shows. I also refer to my favorite movie! I really hope you guys recognize which shows the OTPs are from, and more than anything, I hope you guys have seen my favorite movie that I mention. Incase you haven't seen it, HEAD OVER TO YOUTUBE TO WATCH IT AS SOON AS YOU'RE DONE READING THIS CHAPTER. It's hands down the best rom-com. So without further ado, here's chapter 2...enjoy!
The next day, while Amy was at her locker, she saw a girl walk by with a teddy bear holding a balloon that says "Prom?" She immediately saddened, because as the days till prom were decreasing, there was still no sign of Ricky asking her. Madison came running up to Amy just as she closed her locker.
"The CUTEST thing happened in mine and Lauren's Physics class!" screamed Madison.
"What!" Amy asked playing along with their excitement.
"For our warm up, some guy wrote 'Topanga + Cory = Prom' on the board!"
Amy's smile immediately disappeared. "Oh. That's…really cute."
"It was, Amy! This is so much fun, watching all these girls getting asked!"
Just then, Lauren came up to Amy and Madison looking just as excited.
"A girl in my English class just got asked to prom is such a cute way," Lauren started.
"I was JUST telling Amy about Topanga!" Madison exclaimed.
"Oh, wait till you hear this. Chandler gave Monica a huge cake that said 'Will you be my date to prom'!" Lauren told them.
"That's…wonderful…" Amy's voice drifted.
Just then Madison's prom date walked by and winked at her, so Madison left the two girls to go talk to her date.
Lauren could see Amy getting upset. "Ricky still hasn't asked you, has he?"
"No."
"Well, I don't know why not. He'd be lucky to be your date."
"Yeah…I wish he thought the same. I mean, he doesn't even want to go."
"Well, do you wanna go?"
"More than anything, but I'm not gonna go alone!"
"Did you tell him that?"
"More than once, and it's making him want to go less and less so I just stopped."
"I'm sorry, Amy. You don't need a date though!"
"But Ricky's my BOYFRIEND. I want to go to prom with my boyfriend. And besides, all my friends have dates. I'd be lonely."
Ricky walked up to Amy right then. He gave Lauren a stern look that said 'Go away.'
"Hi Amy," he said happy to see her.
"Hi Ricky," she said before she gave him a kiss.
"I was thinking of letting my mom, Margaret, babysit John tonight. It's been a while since me and you have been alone. It'd be nice to get a little privacy and have no responsibility." He said softly to her. Whenever Ricky spoke like that, Amy found him hard to resist.
Amy smiled. "I'd like that."
"Great. So I'll drop John off at my mom's before 7."
"We should watch a movie or something."
"Okay. Sounds good."
"I'll see you tonight!" Amy walked away from her locker, as Ricky turned his gaze around to watch her walk away.
The two had a candlelight dinner that Ricky made. Ricky seemed to be at such ease and happy. He held onto Amy's hand across the table when they just sat there talking after finishing their food. Amy seemed hesitant to bring prom up, but she knew she had to vocalize her thoughts if she wanted to go.
"Ricky. Have you given any thought about prom?"
He let go of her hand and looked annoyed. "I already told you I didn't want to go."
She held onto his hand again. "Not even for me?"
He looked at their hands and looked up at her and didn't say anything. He gazed softly at Amy.
"Forget it. Forget I even brought it up. Let's watch a movie," said Amy as she held back tears.
Ricky got up and sat down on the couch. "What movie?"
"Love Actually!" she said excitedly.
"Aw, jeez, Amy. Really? A chick flick?" he whined.
"Hey! It's a good chick flick!"
"But I hate chick flicks. We're not watching this."
"I hate Jerry Lewis, but you still made me watch his movies with you!"
He couldn't argue that. "Fineee," he said defeated.
"Yay!" Amy put in the DVD and sat down on the couch next to Ricky as he put his arm around her.
Ricky seemed to enjoy the movie. He laughed at all the jokes, while Amy obsessed over the romance. Just as the scene where Mark confesses his love to Juliet ended, Ricky heard Amy sniffling. He paused the movie and looked at her.
"Amy, are you okay? Is something wrong?" he asked worried.
"Nothing is wrong…nothing at all. It's just that scene is so beautiful! It gets me every time," she laughed as she wiped her tears of happiness.
Ricky rolled his eyes and smirked at her. Just then an idea hit Ricky; you could almost hear the 'ding!' in his head.
So I'm really hoping you guys have seen Love Actually, because if you haven't, you might not fully understand the reference in the next chapter. Please comment if you have seen it! Here's a hint and teeny spoiler about the next chapter if you have seen it: look at the title of the fanfiction. If you haven't seen it and you've got 2 hours to kill, watch it. I highly recommend it for people who love chick flicks. It's on Youtube. But if you don't want to watch the movie, please at least watch the scene that Amy cried during (.com/watch?v=FFnSgPC-VXA). You'll get a better grasp at the reference and find the next chapter that much more sweet.
