I DO NOT OWN THE SECRET LIFE OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS THEY ALL BELONG TO BRENDA HAMPTON.

WOW I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GUYS LIKE THE STORY THIS MUCH, I WANT TO THANK YALL FOR TAKING OUT THE TIME TO READ MY STORY AND REVIEW IT. THANKS GUYS, AND phiphilivee that was my favorite part to, Ricky was to smooth lol. And I hope the story is not moving to slow, I just wanted to do something different. I might even bring in different point of views. But here's the next chapter hope you guys enjoy. After this chapter it will be more Ramy promise.

So it was a Tuesday night and two days had pass since the incident with Ricky, I decided that I wasn't going to call him it didn't feel right. I was taught the man chase the woman not the other way around. So even though I wanted him badly I was willing to wait just a little while longer. If he wanted me like he said he did I was confident he'll strike again.

So girls how was school, my mother asked as we all surrounded the dinner table.

Boring as usual", Ashley said twirling her fork in her pasta.

"Mine was fine, I got a history project but that's about it." I said as I put fork full of pasta in my mouth.

"Where is dad?" Ashley asked.

"Um he said he had to work late tonight to go ahead and eat dinner without him."

"Wow do he feels his job is more important than us he's never home anymore," Ashley said getting up from the table and taking her plate to the counter.

"Ashley just calm down you know your father loves you girls very much and he would never put anything above you guys."

"Yea but what about you Mom you allow him to come in all hours of the night God only knows where he's been or whose he been with, He's a married man he's suppose to be home".

"Oh my God Ashley enough I can't believe how disrespectful you are you're a child act like one, some things are just between mom and dad.

"Thank you Amy, but let me handle this. Ashley like I told you your done is working late he loves us very much, he's just a hard working man." My mother said with tears in her eyes.

"Yea keep telling yourself that mom." Ashley said walking out the kitchen.

"Are you okay Mom?" I said looking at my mother I could clearly see she wasn't.

"Yea I just need to excuse myself for a moment honey, do you think you can clean up and put away dinner for me?"

"Yea sure Mom."

"Thank you." She said getting up and leaving the table.

Even though Ashley was wrong for how she talk to my mother, everything she said was true. My father kept late nights and early mornings, I never believe he was just working and I know my mother didn't either. But she had to keep herself strong for us, that's just what mothers do. I secretly knew she was hurting but she will never let it show in front of us, she just keeps it all inside. And when he finally returns it's like nothing happen.

I began to clean the kitchen when my thoughts were interrupted by the buzzing of my phone, it was Jessica.

"Hey Jess," I said while trying to balance the phone on my ear and wash the plate in my hands.

"Hey what you doing," She said in her always cheerful voice.

"Nothing just cleaning up the kitchen, and why haven't you been in school today or yesterday."

"No reason, just didn't really feel like going."

"Is everything ok with you?" I asked Jessica.

"Yea I'm fine you worry too much, but what about you, you never told me how your date went with the famous sausage prince."

I began to tell her everything about the date except for Ricky, you can't tell everybody your business not even your best friend.

"See I knew you two going to hit it off, so when is the next date?"

"I don't know we really haven't talked about it."

"Well do you like him?"

"Yea he's cool"

"Cool? I don't hear much excitement in your voice."

"No I mean he's good, I'm good we have a lot in common so who knows what will happen."

"Ok, I just want to see you happy."

"Trust me I am."

"Well ok girly I'm about to clean up a little myself and get ready for bed, see you at school tomorrow."

"Ok see you tomorrow." I said hanging up the phone.

I was done with the kitchen so I decided that I would finish up some homework, I made my way to my room and attempted to but I couldn't, My mind was wrapped up in him. I hated lying to my friends about Ricky but I just didn't want to hear there disapproving remarks he would be just my little secret until otherwise. I wish I had the balls to call him but I didn't, I didn't want to look desperate. I still couldn't get what he said about Jessica out of my head, it seems as if he knows her very well but if that is so I wonder why she never told me about him. We tell each other everything well at least we did till now. All this thinking was making my head hurt I decided to call it a night.

Adrian P.O.V

"Adrian its twelve o clock in the morning, what do you think you're doing coming in my house this late?" My mom said as soon as I enter the door.

"Well hello to you to mother," I said headed on a path to my room I didn't care to not caring to say more.

"ADRIAN I KNOW YOU HEAD ME TALKING TO YOU WHARE HAVE YOU BEEN."

"I WAS WITH RICKY OK."

"NOT OK, ESPECIALLY AROUND THIS TIME OF NIGHT."

"I'm surprised you even notice I was gone, what your married man isn't keeping you busy anymore."

"YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS ENOUGH ADRIAN JUDT FOR THAT YOUR GROUNDED, GIVE ME YOUR KEYS," She said with her hand handed out.

"OH REALLY, huh I wonder how long this will last," I said getting my keys off my dresser and handing them to her. She snatched them out my hand and slammed my door without saying another word.

I was in such a good mood that not even an argument with my mom could change how I was feeling; I had just got back from a great night with Ricky. Man you guys just don't understand how much I am in love with him. And no I wasn't his girlfriend but I was the closest thing to it. And yes he messed around with many different girls but that didn't bother me that much, because I knew they wouldn't be nothing more than just a fuck. With him and I it was more, I truly believe that. But it will only take a matter of time for him to see that I'm the one. So I will patient and play my role. I would rather have a piece of him than none at all.

I let my thoughts drift away as I took a shower and got ready for bed, that night I let my dreams take over dreaming of the one I wanted the most.

Ricky P.O.V

I loved my foster parents but I would be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying my own place. I could do what I want when I wanted. No one was here to be in business, I liked hearing silence, I like seeing no one, and most of all I liked my privacy. I couldn't help but laugh when I thought of Adrian. That girl was something else but I liked that about her. She was fun, wild, and crazy; it seems as if I can never shake her. But I feel bad for her because I can never love her the way she loves me. I'm just not that guy, and plus I have a thing for this pretty face, sweet Amy.

SCHOOL DAYS

Amy P.O.V

Here I was running through the halls of Grant High like a complete maniac. I was late again for my first hour period, man I have to get a new alarm clock. I finally made it around the hall to my locker, put in my code; open my looker just to have all of my books fall to the floor.

"Just my luck," I said as I bend down to pick up all my books. I finally got everything together, closed my locker and proceeded to head to class until I felt two arms wrap around my waist. And in my ear he says.

"You killing me pretty face," I smiled to myself he strikes again.

"And how is that," I said just above a whisper

"How long are we going to play this game?"

"What game, I have no idea what you're talking about." He then let go of me and turn me around so that I was now facing him.

"Hey can you do me a favor,"

"Yea I guess, depended upon what it is," I said as I pulled the bangs out my face.

"I seem to have lost my phone can I see yours," He said grinning the whole time, I than handed him my phone. And he pressed some numbers and then I heard the ringing of a phone I'm guessing it was his.

"Oh would you look at that it was in my pocket this whole time," he said now smiling as he gave me my phone back. I burst out laughing shaking my head as I pushed him lightly and said.

"Wow that was so lame, you have to come better than that," I said beginning to walk in the direction of my class.

"Oh really," He said as he walked beside me.

"Yes really," I said still smiling from ear to ear.

He then grabbed my arm and stop me in the middle of the hall way.

"Amy I do, have one last thing to ask you?" I was starting to get nervous and my palms began to sweat.

"Yea what is it."

"Would you like to go on a date with me tonight?"

FINALLY, I yelled in my head, but I replied simply with

"I would love to."

"I knew you would," He then grabbed my books and intertwined his figures with mine as he walks me to my class, Once in front of my classroom door he let go of my hand and handed me my books and says,

"See you tonight pretty face," He then walked away but not before turning around, leaving me that smirk I can never forget.
