Chapter 10

Amy's POV

"You really did that" Adrian asked me.

"Yes and are you okay with us talking about that because I know you and-"

"Oh no I'm over him. I think I found a new guy to love and who I definitely know loves me back."

"Adrian! You never told me about this having me tell you my love life when you haven't told me yours!" I shouted through the phone.

"Calm down geez,"

"Well? Who is it?"

"Ben."

"Boykewich?"

"Yeah."

"Woah." I said surprised.

"I know!"

"I never imagined you two together."

"Me neither but he's amazing."

"I'm happy for you Adrian."

"Me too. Well back to you and Ricky. I didn't know you had it in you. Jump on his lap like that." She said amazed.

"Well yea. Ugh what if Jared finds out?" I asked worried.

"So what if he finds out. Your not even dating him so its not like your in trouble."

"Yea but he will be jealous and our friendship could possibly be ruined."

"Well just don't tell him"

"We'll see how long that goes on for"

"Well I gotta get to school Amy, talk to you later."

"Bye Adrian." She hung up the phone and I immediately thought about the kiss I had with Ricky. It wasn't the same as band camp. This one was enjoyable and had more passion and desire for the other. Only a week and 5 days and I get to go back to school. I thought about how weird it would be but quickly shook it off.

"Happy Birthday Amy!" Mom and dad said as they walked in my room with a cupcake and lit candle.

"Thanks" I blew the candle out and they cheered.

"You get to get your license and drive that new car." My dad said excitingly.

"I can't wait for that!"

Ricky's POV

"The kiss I just had with Amy was great" I told Ben.

"So she actually got up on your lap?" He asked surprised.

"Yea. I was surprised too. And the other thing is that she kept smiling so I know she enjoyed it."

"What if Jared finds out."

"Who cares about Jared, I just kisses Amy."

"Didn't you kiss her at band camp?"

"Yeah but that one was different, I didn't care about her then but now is totally different."

"If you say so. Are you gonna ask her out?"

"I don't know. I want a first date to be with a dinner I made. Once I get my own place I'll casually ask her and John to dinner with me"

"There's a place over the butcher shop. I can ask my dad if you can have it"

"Seriously?" I stood up from my chair.

"Yeah, if it'll make you happy."

"I overheard you guys talking" Leo said sticking his head in the room.

"Oh. Uhm" Ben tried to explain.

"It's okay. You can have the apartment above the butcher shop. You worked hard and I think you deserve that especially since you have a son" he threw me the keys to the apartment I couldn't believe I had an apartment. Well I had to go back home to tell my foster parents. They might not even approve but I do have a son and going to Amy's house would get annoying at some point. He smiled then left the room.

"Woah dude. Isn't today Amy's birthday?"

"I thought it was next week or something." I asked not knowing it was today. "I'll give her a birthday dinner today. It'll be perfect."

Amy's POV

This whole day was filled with happy birthdays and presents from friends. Taking care of John did get easier. The day went by fast and it was already night. Adrian and Grace came rushing through my door all excited.

"Amy get dressed fast!" Adrian shouted.

"Why. What's up?"

"It's a surprised. We bought you this to wear. Think of it as a birthday present from both of us" Grace handed me a dark blue dress with little sparkly glitter fading from bottom to top.

"Oh my gosh this is gorgeous. It must've cost a fortune."

"Only 50 bucks sober split it 25 25." Grace confirmed.

"Hurry up and put it on girl!" Adrian shouted. I went to the bathroom and put on the dress. It went above my knees and was kind of tight fitting but just my size.

"Amy you look beautiful!" Adrian and Grace said.

"Thanks"

"Now lets curl your hair and get you all ready" Grace started my make up and Adrian started curling my hair. We were done within 5 minutes. I grabbed my purse and slipped on my heels. I asked my mom if she could take care of John which she agreed and we quickly left into Adrian's car. We pulled up to Ben's house where I heard loud music and people.

"Is this..."

"Don't say anything till we get in there" Adrian interrupted me. We got to the door and Grace and Adrian opened it where I found almost the whole school cheering and clapping. They out a tiara on my head and gave me a stash that said "Happy Birthday Amy". As the music played again people were coming up to me with huge and greets. I saw a huge stack of presents in one room then a cake with my picture on it.

"Grace and I set this up and Ben helped a little. But it was mostly us two"

"Thanks Adrian. Thank you Grace. Am I really this popular?"

"At first we thought no one would come, but everyone at school was excited to throw you a party. Ben's house was a last minute thing."

"Happy Birthday Amy" Jared came over and have me a hug.

"Thanks Jared." Later, Ben came and did the same thing.

"Did Ricky call or stop by your house anytime today?" He asked curiously.

"No. I didn't see him this whole day"

"Ohhhh, I'll be right back." He left and pulled out his phone. I wonder what's up. I'm led to the back yard where there's a mini stage and people are eating, dancing and having so much fun. I joined them and had the time of my life.

Ricky's POV

I stopped at Amy's house dressed all nicely. I was ready and hoping for her to say yes.

I walked in and asked Mrs. Juergens if Amy was home.

"No she left with Grace and Adrian a few minutes ago."

"How much minutes ago?"

"About 13 minutes ago. She looked real nice. It must be somewhere formal." I say hi to John for a while then get a call from Ben.

"Hey dude you know Amy is here right?"

"There? At your house? Why she at your house."

"Adrian and Grace decided to throw Amy a party and asked if they can use my house. It was kinda last minute"

"Why'd they go to you? They couldn't use the school or something?"

"Oh yeah me and Adrian are together and why would they use the school?"

"Wait. You and Adrian?"

"Yeah."

"Wow.. Well ima bout to head over there right now"

"I don't know how you gonna ask her, all the attention is on her. All the guys are lining up to talk with her"

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

"Amy looks hot dude and your gonna have to push through and take her somewhere private so no guy tries to interrupt."

"I'll be there in a little." I gave John a kiss on the head and jogged out to my car.

I got to Ben's house and heard loud music playing. I walked in and everyone was up dancing and talking, having a good time. I heard someone talking through a microphone calling everyone to the backyard. I walked to the backyard and saw Amy with a stash and tiara. I stared at her for a while. Ben was right she looked absolutely gorgeous. I didn't notice that people were giving her happy birthday speeches. I realized this would be a good time to ask her out.

"Anyone else want to give a speech?" The voice asked as I soon saw belonged to Ben. I took the chance to walk up to the stage. "You got this bro?"

"Yea I'm pretty confident" I confirmed. He handed me the mic and I held it with both hands. I looked over to Amy. Everyone went silent waiting for me to speak. "Amy, I want to say you look absolutely beautiful today" the crowd reacts with a 'woo' and some whistles."and I want to ask if you and John would like to go to dinner with me" the crowd reacts with an 'awwwwww' then cheers. I can see Amy look down and smile then look back up. Everyone waited especially me eager to see what her answer is.

"Yes" she answered. The crowd cheered. I smiled then saw Jared eyeing me. I smirked showing the satisfaction I got from his anger. I went down to Amy and gave her a hug. The music then went back on and people started dancing. I wet to get a drink and Jared came up to me.

"You think you won huh, you think Amy is finally yours since she's going on a date with you?" He said angry.

"Amy is no longer someone to be won. She's not a prize." He stayed silent. "You need to stop thinking of her as a competition and start thinking of her as a person if you ever want to start a relationship with her" with that I walked away. It was true. Jared was so caught up in trying to get Amy before me instead of getting her because he loved her. To tell the truth I think I'm in love with Amy way more than he is.

Amy's POV

The party was coming to an end and Adrian and Grace wouldn't stop talking to me about Ricky.

"That totally confirmed that he's in love with you, and you didn't believe me the first time" Adrian told.

"I just thought he just really liked you. It never occurred to me that he would fall in love with anyone." Grace said confused.

"And I could be in love with him too" I said staring at the ground.

"What if you guys...you know...after dinner." Grace said.

"Woah Grace."

"Admit it Amy you would get in bed with him any day."

"Well he is hot." I said imagining how his body would look like."Guys he's like super hot."

"Well duh. We both been with him." Adrian reminded me.

"Oh yeah huh. Well he is sweet and a good dad, and his smile cheers me and-"

"Amy" Adrian and Grace snapped me out of my daze.

"Oh sorry." I giggled.

"Well speaking of men, me and Ben did it."

"You guys? Really? Ben doesn't look like the type." I admitted. Ricky came over and at that time I realized we were the only ones here.

"Oh hey Ricky" I said turning to Grace and Adrian who were smiling.

"Hey ready to go?"

"Yea, lets go."

"Oh yeah and Grace, Jack is waiting for you in his car."

"Okay. Thanks for telling me."

"I'll just go find Ben." Adrian walked off. We started walking to Ricky's car.

"Isn't John suppose to be coming too?"

"Oh I just put him in there so the whole rumor wouldn't grow."

"What rumor?" I asked confused.

"People think we're sleeping together for some reason." I wasn't surprised to hear that. People make up the most ridiculous stuff.

"Not surprising" he opened the car door and closed it for me. We drove to the restaurant that looked nice on the outside but beautiful in the inside. We ordered or food and started off our date with the bet conversation. We had laughs and everything. It then went down into a serious subject.

"Amy have you ever thought of us being a couple?" This question got me nervous. I didn't know how to answer it. He noticed my nervousness. I quickly straightened out and gave an answer.

"I actually have." I said looking down. I saw him smiling.

"How about we try this out? We try us out?" I looked up at him surprised. Is he really asking me to be his girlfriend?

"Really?" I asked.

"Yea. To tell the truth I'm in love with you. I've never been in love with someone so when this feeling hit me I didn't know what it was. Seeing you and your smile was something I didn't think I would have to see on a daily basis. I want you in my life Amy." He confessed. I couldn't help but smile. I couldn't help but tell him how I felt too.

"I...I'm in love with you too." A wide smile appeared on his face."I didn't know how I felt wait her but it felt nice to have you around me. I'll give us a try." The smile he had stayed on for a while till we walked out the restaurant. He held my hand still not believing the fact that we were a couple now. He opened the door to my car but before I could have a seat he turned me around and kissed me. This kiss had more feeling than our other one. This kiss showed his love for me and my love for him. We stayed like that for what felt like forever. I wish it was forever. He pulled away and held me by my waste. My eyes were still closed trying to keep the feeling I had.

"Are you gonna wrap your legs around me now?" He asked jokingly. I died I laughter.

"Your not gonna let that moment go are you?" We got into the car and had the funnest car ride home. He pulled up to my drive way an opened my door for me.

"Why don't I go say goodnight to John?"

"Then you can stay for a while and say goodbye to me" he smiled at that statement and we went on. He gave John a kiss while he was sleeping then gave me a tight hug.

"Now get washed up and changed before we end up in bed together" He stated.

"Okay." I laughed. He left outside. I soaked in the fact that me and Ricky were a couple. I squealed in excitement but waited till the morning to tell Adrian and Grace.

A/N: Finally! Ramy has begun. But there is going to be drama. When and how will Jared find out about Ramy and Ramy is officially a couple so look forward for arguments in the near future and a big argument that might be big enough to split them up. PLEASE REVIEW! I love to hear from you guys.
