"Oh… No! Mom's calling. Hello?"

"Where are you Grace?"

"I spent the night at Ricky's. I'm sorry for not telling you."

"And why did you not tell me?"

"I thought you would say no. I'm sorry. And it was late when we finished talking last night. I thought you would be asleep when I told you. I promise all we did was sleep."

"I trust you honey. I know Ricky is a good friend of yours. Come home whenever you're ready. Ok?"

"Ok mom. Love you. Bye."

"Love you too."

"I thought you told your mom you were spending the night here."

"It's fine. She didn't sound upset. I'm just worried about what George is going to say."

"I bet he'll be all right. It's not like we did anything. You sure look gorgeous in the morning."

"Yeah. I'm sure my hair looks like a mess."

"No. It looks sexy." Kisses her forehead.

" Ha ha. You look pretty hot in the morning too."

"Thanks. I'm gonna take a shower. You want to join me?"

"Uh… What?"

"I'm just kidding. You can grab something to eat in the kitchen if you want."

"Ok. I could make breakfast. I'm pretty good at making pancakes."

"That sounds good. There's some pancake stuff in the pantry."

"Ok. Breakfast will be ready soon."

"You're awesome Grace."

*Blushes* "So are you Ricky."

Ahh… I think I'm falling for him again. Even harder than before. Wait…No way. Could this really be happening already? We haven't even had an official date yet. How could I feel like this? I need to make the pancakes.

All right. Time for a nice hot shower. Grace is so sweet. I wish she could join me in the shower. Ha ha. I wonder if we should do something tonight. I think we should and it should be really special.

"Now where's the butter… Duh! In the fridge." Grace walks over to Ricky's small fridge and finds the butter. *Ring ring*

"Hi Adrian. How are you?"

"Somebody sounds happy this morning."

"I am. I had a great night."

"Ooooh. With who?"

"You'll never guess."

"I don't have time for games right now Grace. We can catch up later cause Omar and I are going shopping for a new couch."

"Oh. That sounds like fun. Is that why you called? I'm making breakfast."

"At 11 am?"

"Yeah. I was up late last night."

"Ha ha ha. I called because I wanted to tell you that Omar and I are getting married at the end of the summer. The weekend before school starts."

"That's exciting! Congratulations! Is it going to be here or in New York?"

"Thank you! Here. We thought it would be easier for everyone that's invited to the wedding."

"Yay! I'm so excited! Do you need help planning anything for it?"

"Could you make the invitations? I'm not very crafty."

"Of course! You can just email me the names and addresses of everyone who's invited and I'll mail them for you."

"Aww! I really appreciate that! Sounds good! I'll email you later! I gotta go! I'll talk to you later tonight."

"Sounds good. Bye Adrian!"

Oh… Lord have mercy… Grace stared at Ricky as he came into the kitchen with just a towel on around his waist.

"That smells good."

"Uhh huh…" Grace stared at his muscular chest and towel.

"Grace, Grace. Hello? Anyone home?"

"Oh sorry Ricky. The pancakes are done. Get dressed and I'll set the table." Gives Ricky a peck on the lips.

"Ahh.. All right."

After Ricky got dressed he sat at his small round table with Grace and they ate delicious pancakes and drank orange juice.

"These are amazing babe."

"Yeah… Not as amazing as you though."

"Ha ha. Do you want to do something tonight?"

"Sure. Adrian was going to call me tonight but I don't know what time."

"I was thinking we could do something around 8. Like go to the movies."

"Sounds great! Is John up?"

"Yeah. He's playing with some toys in his room. I gave him some cereal earlier this morning while you were still asleep."

"Aww. He's so cute. I think he looks a lot like you."

"Really? Most people think he looks more like Amy."

"I guess I can see both of you in him. I should probably get going."

"Me too. I need to drop John off at the nursery so I can work."

"I could watch him."

"No Grace. You've done enough. Thank you for breakfast."

"I'm sorry. I could take him to the nursery for you."

"I don't know. He doesn't know you that well."

"But you do. You have trust issues Ricky."

"Hey! I've come a long way in trusting people Grace! Don't accuse me of having trust issues!"

"Woah! I didn't mean to say that. It's ok Ricky. I understand if you don't want me to take him."

"I'm sorry too. I'm just tired and I like dropping John off. I didn't mean to yell at you."

"All right Ricky. I'll see you tonight."

"See you tonight." Ricky gives Grace a grin as she walks out the door.

Grace makes it home and walks into her kitchen.

"So you were at Ricky's all night."

"Oh… Hi George. I guess mom told you."

"Yeah she did. Sit down. We need to have a little talk."

"About what?"

"Ricky. Are you interested in him?"

"Yes I am. I was in love with him a few years ago."

"A few years ago you were only 16. You didn't know what love was back then. And you still don't. You're young and just because you've been around the block a few times, does not mean you know everything about love."

"You sound like my father. I know I don't know everything about love. But I think I am falling for Ricky again."

"Grace, I know I'm not your dad but I care a lot about you. I don't want you to make the same mistake Amy did."

"Why does everyone think Ricky is going to make the same mistake again? He's changed and he's a proud father. You should be proud of him for that and proud of Amy. Nobody's perfect George."

"You're right. I'm sorry for saying that. I just would hate to see your mother go through what Anne had to go through with Amy and me."

"I promise I won't have sex again until I'm married. I'm done with it until then."

"That's what I like to hear. I'll see you later. I promised your mom I would re-paint the shutters on the front windows."

"All right. Do you need any help?"

"Nope. Tom's gonna help. He should be getting the paint ready in the garage."

"All right. See you later."

George smiled and walked out the door.

"Here are your steaks sir. Enjoy."

"Somebody's in a good mood today."

"Yeah. I had a pretty good night, Bunny."

"Uh huh. With who?"

"Grace."

"Grace? Grace Bowman?"

"Yeah. We mostly talked… and made out a little."

"And….?"

"She spent the night but we didn't do anything. I forgot how calm she makes me feel."

"That's good to hear. I'm proud of you for getting back on the market."

"Thanks. I hope this doesn't jeopardize my relationship with Amy."

"Why do you say that?"

"Amy's dad is married to Grace's mom."

"Oh yeah. I remember hearing about that. I'm sure it will be fine. Is she coming to town soon?"

"Yeah. At the end of this month. Hopefully she won't mind me dating Grace."

"Dating. You like her that much,huh?"

"I do. She's really special. No one has ever treated me as nicely as she does."

"A word of advice. Don't fall too fast or you might not be able to get back up."

"Okaay. What does that mean?"

"It means you should be careful with falling in love fast or you might not be able to love anyone agai n."

"Don't worry Bunny. I'll be careful."

"I hope so. For both our sakes. I care about you, kid. You've had a lot of ups and downs but I know you'll end up doing all right."

"Thanks. I guess I should get back to work."

"Yeah. Make sure the newbies are doing their jobs."

"No problem."

Should I call Adrian? I kind of want to talk to her about last night but… Or should I call Amy? She's probably busy. *Ring ring* Jack? Are you kidding me? What does he want?

I was like, should I leave you with a cliff hanger? Ha ha. Why not? I thought this would be a good place to end this chapter. Plus I'm tired. The next chapter will be coming soon! Thank you! :)
