That weekend, Ricky invited Amy over for dinner with him and John (since it was Ricky's weekend with John). He made spaghetti and meat sauce, a meal that always feels nostalgic to both of them. Ricky and Amy kept staring into each other's eyes the entire night. They felt themselves falling in love all over again. It amazed Ricky how he felt this way. If he was feeling this way over prom, he had no idea what to expect if they were to say…get engaged. But to Ricky, marriage is a taboo subject, something he refused to think about unless someone else brought it up. And even then, he'd try to change the subject to something else.
After dinner and dessert, Ricky gave John a bath while Amy called her mom to catch up with her and ask her to come in town the next day to go dress shopping. Amy gushed and obsessed over how Ricky asked her and how perfect it was. Ricky overheard it from the bathroom and kept smiling to himself. He surprised himself over how romantic and sweet he truly can be. He never realized it, but all it took was a girl worth going the whole ten yards for. Amy was that girl. Amy was his everything, and he was hers. He was the first guy she kissed and slept with, and more than anything, she wanted him to be the last guy she kissed and slept with. It takes a special girl to get a player to quit the game, and Amy was that special girl for him. He wanted Amy to be the last girl he's ever with; that was his dream. He wasn't going to do anything to jeopardize that.
After John's bath and Amy's phone call, they both put John to bed and decided to watch TV. They pulled out the bed from their sofa bed, and Amy sat next to Ricky with her legs over his lap. He wanted to watch baseball, but Amy insisted on watching Saturday Night Live. He reluctantly agreed.
"Andy Samberg is so cute. Isn't he cute!" Amy gushed.
"I'm not answering that…" Ricky said.
"He is so great. You know, Ashley always teases me that I have a thing for Jewish boys."
Ricky started laughing.
"What's so funny!"
"I'm laughing cause it's true! Well, half true anyway. I'm not fully Jewish."
"I know…but I never really realized I did until Ashley brought it up. You're half Jewish, Ben is Jewish, Andy is Jewish. Oh and so is Logan Lerman!"
"You're a Jew whore," Ricky laughed.
"HEY! I've only slept with one of those men," Amy winked.
"I have to say that he's a really lucky man."
"No. I'm the lucky one." Amy smiled at him and leaned in for a kiss.
Ricky slipped in a little tongue, trying to imply he wanted sex. Just as he slid his hands across Amy's thigh, she pulled back.
"I have an idea," she said.
"What?" he said kissing her neck.
"I think we shouldn't have sex until prom night."
Ricky stopped and looked at her. "No. That's a bad idea."
"What! No it's not! I think sex on prom night will be that much more great, if he held off for a week."
"No, I don't want to go a week without having sex with you. It's hard enough when you're on your period. You want me to go two weeks in total this month?"
"Aww, Ricky. Come on. I promise you prom night will be much sexier if we held off."
"Well, can't we just start this idea of yours tomorrow night…" he said before he kissed her passionately.
The taste of his lips drove her crazy, and the thought of what could come next made her crazier. She pulled back.
"Okay…fine. But after tonight, no sex until prom," she said giving in, "you're lucky I want you so badly." She kissed him again. She could feel him smiling the entire time.
The next morning, Amy drove to her parent's house to meet up with Anne to go dress shopping. To tease Ricky until prom, she decided to stay at her parent's house for the week. Anne took Amy to Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's. Amy didn't want any of the dresses she saw. They spent two hours at both places trying on different dresses, so they decided to take a lunch break before resuming their hunt for the perfect dress. They were passing by a boutique on their way to their favorite restaurant when Amy stopped and looked at the mannequin through the window.
"Mom. I think I found my dress."
Sorry it took me a while to update, but I was experiencing writer's block for a bit...I hope you enjoyed it! I honestly don't know WHY I keep doing it, but I'm making Amy's interests similar to mine. This time I decided to add one of my favorite shows, Saturday Night Live. I also brought in my love for Andy Samberg and Logan Lerman. I hope you guys didn't mind!
