I am so sorry that it took so long but my life has been crazy. Thank you for being supportive.

I want to thank everyone who followed, favorited, or reviewed.

Thank you!

Enjoy!

Finally, Rick thought as he signed the final piece of paperwork, he was official living with his aunt.

"Congrats you guys", the Becketts said together as they hugged the two.

"Thank you, you're a life savers stepping in and being our lawyers. In celebration I say we go out for ice cream or something. Richard darling, when do we have to leave back to Troy?" Martha asked as she told Rick that she would go with him.

"Tomorrow morning would be best. I called my coach and the meeting is at 3 tomorrow so we'll be fine", Rick said as they walked out the door of the courthouse. "Finally, I can take off this thing", Rick said as he took off his tie.

"I totally agree, I hate ties", Jim said as he also took off his tie. The two ladies just rolled their eyes. "So, you said something about ice cream?" Jim asked sounding like a little kid as Rick eagerly nodded his head in agreement.

"Jim act your age", Johanna said as she chuckled a little.

"Yes dear" Jim said as he kissed her cheek.

Rick smiled; it was nice to see a couple so in love for Rick it had been years since he saw it with his parents.

"I know this place nearby that has the best smoothies and great mini golf if you want to", Martha said remembering a date she had been on.

"Sure" the two boys said then went to grab their own car.

"Sounding like fun, I going to call Kate to see if she wants to come", Johanna said and then with a smirk she said, "I bet she will come if I tell her Rick is coming."

"Kids these days, me and Richard will go ahead. You know how to get their right?" Martha said as she started towards Rick and the car.

"Yeah, you guys go" Johanna said waving them off with a smile. With that Martha and Rick took off in the red car. Johanna watched them leave then got in the car when Jim pulled up seconds later.

"I going to call Kate, head towards the house", Jim nodded at what his wife said and took off towards their house.

Kate was on her bed finishing the little homework she had gotten when her phone went off. She reached for and saw her mom's face on her screen. Kate frowned a bit because she was hoping it was Rick but smiled when she hear her mom's voice.

"Hey sweetie, what are you doing?" Johanna asked with a smile.

"Just finishing my homework, why?" Kate said as she sat on the edge of her bed.

"We were going to go to Reese's Dairy Bar & Miniature Golf. You know where we would go on Sundays. We were wondering if you wanted to come", Johanna said awaiting an answer.

"I don't know mom", Kate started to say as she was hoping for Rick to come over later so they could hang out.

"It's okay if you don't want to. We'll let you stay home", Johanna said trying to keep her voice level.

"Thanks, but are you guys sure you guys want to go by yourself" Kate said wondering why they would want to go there.

"We'll be fine; Martha and Rick are coming with us. Have fun at home", Johanna said trying to sound as if she was about to hang up.

"Wait I want to come, can you pick me up?" Kate said with a smile once she heard that Rick was going to be there.

"We'll be there in 5, be ready" Johanna said with a smirk as she hung up. She sent a text to Martha to warn her that Kate was coming.

Kate jumped off of her bed and ran around getting ready with a smile that could spilt her face in half.

She threw on some cloths that were comfortable and sexy at the same time. She had a causal blue shirt and black jeans with some blue flats on her shoes. She grabbed her phone, wallet, Chap Stick, and wallet; she threw it all in a purse and ran down stairs when she heard her parents' honk the horn.

Tonight is going to be fun, Kate thought as she got in the car.

"Be a darling and go grab us a table", Martha said to her nephew as she got in line to grab the mini golf supplies.

Rick started looking around the place at the different places to sit and things to do. He saw a big area where people could sit that was right next to a food area that was connected to a prize and ticket turn in place. Then to his right was a double door that lead outside to the mini golf courses and a huge arcade was inside taking up the rest of the space. They were not many people there and it had a calm and quiet feel to it, there was about 4 or 5 families with about 3 kids each that were either running around or sitting at a table.

Rick turned to the sitting are and when to a corner booth that would fit at least 6 people. He sat down and slide to the middle of the booth where he took out his phone and opened up his Flappy Bird app.

He got so absorbed in the game he didn't see that his aunt had got the stuff or that she was greeting the three Becketts at the door.

Kate eyes started searching for Rick right when they walked in the door, she couldn't find him but did spot Martha coming their way.

"Hi Martha, how are you?" Kate said with a smile as she hugged the older women.

"Better now that all the work is done with the adoption. Here is your putter and golf ball for mini golf", Martha said as she pulled back from the hug and handed Kate a green putter and green ball. "Let's go find Richard, I sent him to go get us a seat", Martha said as she walked towards the seating area with the Becketts in tow.

They had a hard time spotting him at first but Kate saw him in the far corner on his phone. "There he is, in the far corner", Kate said as she walked towards where Rick was seating and left the adults talking about this weekend.

Kate smiled when she got closer and saw that Rick still hadn't noticed her. So, as quiet as she could she tip-toed up to the table and quickly slammed her hands down on the table and shouted 'BOO'.

Rick jumped a little in his seat and threw his phone in the air on accident. He reached out at the last second and caught it before it hit the table. He looked at the screen and shouted, "NOOOOO!"

Kate just slide into the booth right next to him as if nothing happened. The adults where laughing at the two teens from where they stood about 15ft away.

Kate looked over Rick's shoulder and at his phone. Her jaw drooped at his high score on Flappy Bird, "How did you get up to 500? And you were at 406, how?" Kate asked amazed.

"My normal scores are 200ish. But on the other hand, hey I didn't know you were coming", Rick said as he leaded in and kissed her cheek. Kate blushed when he pulled back as Rick just smiled at the adults who had just now joined them.

"Hey guys, so what are we going to do first?" Rick asked as he looked at his aunt.

"Well I was thinking that you and Katherine could go play some mini golf and then go play in the arcade, while the adults sit here and talk. Then we will finish with smoothies. Sound like a plan?" Martha suggested.

"Sounds like a great plan. Shall we Kate?" Rick said as he got out of the booth and held his hand out for Kate.

Kate just smiled as she grabbed Rick's hand with her right and her mini golf stuff with her left.

Rick grabbed a blue putter and three different colored golf balls that he put in his pocket. Rick turned to make sure Kate was ready and with a nod of the head the two of them waved and walked out the doors.

"They would make a cute couple", Jim said shocking both of the women. "What, I like Rick, he's a good man with his head on straight. I can be supportive", Jim said with a smile.

The women just shook their head at Jim and then Martha continued, "So when you take care of the house this week …"

Rick and Kate walked outside to see that no one was on the mini golf course and that they had it all to themselves.

They smiled and went up to the first hole. Rick pulled his hand away and moved to let Kate go first.

Kate missed the contact but didn't let it show as she when she put her ball down. She aimed the ball and then swung the putter she hit it to the right of the hole and it rolled to the back.

Rick smiled as he came up to the first hole and as quick as possible he swung the putter and got a hole-in-one. Rick turned to Kate and smirked at her while she just stuck her tongue out at him.

"You're just jealous of my mad skills", Rick said as he mimicked Kate.

"Whatever, believe what you want to believe", Kate said and she hit the ball in on her three attempt.

The game continued like this for a while, with Rick getting a hole-in-one almost every time and Kate teasing him, and then getting it on her 4 or 5 tries.

They were walking over a bridge when a cold chill of wind came and Kate shivered. She cursed herself for forgetting to grab a jacket as she started rubbing her arms. She was having such a good time she didn't notice that the sun had gone down and it was almost 6:30 at night.

"Here, I have two layers on underneath", Rick said as took off his jacket and put it on Kate. "Let's play one more round before we go in", Rick said as she got her arms in the jacket and put her ball down.

This hole was a tricky one because if you hit it to hard it would go straight into the water but if you went to soft it would roll right back to you.

Kate went first and it took her 7 tries to get it and by the end of it she was so mad she almost broke the putter by hitting it on the floor. Rick the whole time was just smirking at her and laughed when she hit the floor. "Finally, I was thinking I would never pass it. So, your turn Ricky, do you thing you can beat me? How about a bet?" Kate said as she got every close to him.

Rick just smiled, the only way to fight fire is with fire, Rick thought. "I don't know Kate do you think you could handle the heat?" Rick said in a breathy voice right near her ear and then kissed the spot right behind it.

Kate was rotted to her spot with her eyes closed and every nerve in her was tingling and she had his intoxicating smell all around her. Kate opened her eyes and saw that Rick was already putting the ball down. He looked back at her and smirked, and Kate really did want to be mad at him for his little stunt but she couldn't make herself because he looked amazing with the moonlight reflecting off him and his beautiful eyes.

"So, what's the bet Kate?" Rick asked as if nothing happened and he didn't leave her dying for a kiss from his perfect lips.

"You have to make it in less than 7 times and keep it on the course so if it goes in the water or off to the side you lose. And whoever wins can think of their prize and tell the other person later. Okay?" Kate explained with her blood still rushing.

"I will take you up on that deal. I can't wait till I win", Rick said and then winked at her.

Kate just rolled her eyes and waited for him to go. He was pulling back his putter and getting ready to take his shot when the song Darlin' by The Beach Boys rang out causing Rick to jump a little and hit it to hard causing it to go into the little pond.

Rick turned around and looked at Kate with a shocked look on his face while Kate stood there with a smirk and Rick's phone in her hand facing out towards him.

"I win", Kate said as Rick shot daggers at her with his eyes.

"Hey baby … yeah I'll be there tomorrow morning and my aunt is coming to … you're going to come down on Monday? … that awesome … okay go to dinner … I love you too … Bye", Rick said as he ended his phone call with Alexis.

Kate felt jealously rise in her knowing he was taking to this Alexis girl again. She was happy and nervous when she heard that Alexis was going to come down here, she was happy to final meet the girl that Rick loves but nervous that she wouldn't be able to compare up to this Alexis girl.

"I call a redo", Rick said braking Kate from her train of thought.

"No way, it was your phone that caused you to lose. I won fair and square so let's go back inside before you do something dumb", Kate said as she turned and started walking towards the building.

"Wait up", she heard Rick say and then felt his presents at her side. They walked in a comfortable silence back inside and went over to join the three adults.

"We're done with mini-golf, it got too cold outside", Kate said as she sat down next to her mom.

"Who won?" Jim said as Rick sat down next to him and on the opposite side as all the ladies.

"Rick is a hustler! He got a hole in one 10 out of 16 times. But at least I won the last hole", Kate said as she shot a glare at Rick.

"Wow Rick that's pretty good", Johanna said impressed. "You guys can go get some tokens and play some games, we are going to order smoothies from here and have a pizza delivered here", Johanna said then she grabbed for her purse.

Rick got out of his seat and went to the girl's side, "I got it Johanna, and you guys helped us so much already. This is our treat", Rick said with a smile as he put his hand out for Kate.

"Yeah and don't argue with rich people", Kate said as she took Rick's and left the adults laughing at the table. They walked over to the arcade area; Rick took two $20 out of his wallet. He turned to Kate, "Okay, so we both get 110 tokens each and we can compete to see who gets the most tickets. But do you want to combine our tickets in the end?" Rick said as he released Kate's hand and inserted a twenty into the two different coin machines.

Kate smirked and took out her tokens, "Yeah let's combine in the end. But so you know, you're going down", Kate said and then walked away after putting all her tokens in Rick's jacket pockets.

Rick smiled as he collected his tokens and then went to go find a basketball game.

RK RK RK RK RK RK RK RK RK

About 30 minutes later Kate had finished all of her tokens and turned in all of her tickets. She was proud of herself for winning 782 tickets; she knew that was going to be hard to beat. Now Kate was looking for Rick.

Rick had spent most of his time playing a basketball game with a moving hop and he had won the 300 ticket jackpot like 5 times and collected a lot of tickets.

When Kate found him he had just finished his last game. She looked at the amount of tickets he had. With a shocked look on her face all she could say was "Wow."

Rick turned around to find Kate staring at his tickets. "I'm guessing that by the look on your face, that I won", Rick said with a smirk as he gathered all his tickets. "I am going to go turn them in, you want to help?" Rick said as he pasted her.

"Coming", Kate said as she speed walked to catch up. They went up to the ticket machine and started inserting the tickets in.

In the end Rick had 1818 tickets. "That's an awesome number", Rick insisted time after time. So all together they came to exactly 2600 tickets, so they decided that they both got 1300 each.

They walked up to the prize counter together looking at the different prizes and how many tickets each cost.

"I'll get 1 big penguin, 1 big turtle, 1 big tiger, and 1 big giraffe", Rick said pointing out each stuffed animal.

"That will be 300 tickets each so a total of 1200. You have 1400 left" the man behind the counter said after he gave Rick his prizes.

"Thanks", Rick said to the man then turned to Kate.

Kate was giggling when Rick turned to her and all she saw were the stuffed animals. When Rick poked his head in between the tiger and giraffe with a confused look, Kate couldn't help but look and take a picture of him on her phone. Once she looked at the picture she started laughing till her sides hurt. "You look adorable", Kate said causing Rick to blush.

"You can have the rest", Rick told Kate as he put the animals on the counter.

Kate turned to look at the prizes and saw one that jumped out at her. "I'll have the Yankee earphones for 1000 please and Rick can have the last 400", Kate said and then took the earphone box from the guy.

Rick turned to look at the prizes, "Can I get the princess set for 300 and then get 2 airheads, 5 sweet tarts, and 5 tootsie rolls to finish it off", Rick said pointing them out and then collecting all his prizes.

"Princess set?" Kate said raising her eyebrows at Rick.

Rick blushed and turned his head and then he turned back to Kate, "It's a piece offering at the orphanage", he said with a shrug.

Kate's heart melted at how sweet he was, thinking about little girls at the orphanage. "Why did you get so many stuffed animals?" Kate said as he had trouble collecting them all in his arms. Once he did they walked back towards the table.

"I'm going to give them out of course", Rick said as they got to the table. There was a pizza half-cheese and half-meat and 5 strawberry smoothies.

"Wow Rick you got a lot of stuffed animals and is that a princess set?" Jim said, almost laughing at the end. He was looking at the prizes with an amused look.

"Yes it's a princess set but not for me. I'm going to give it as a parting gift to a special someone at the orphanage. And I got all the different animals for you guys", Rick said then went over to the table next to them and putting the prizes down. "A turtle for me, a tiger for Aunt Martha, a giraffe for Jim and Johanna, and a penguin for you beautiful", Rick said passing them out and winking at Kate when he gave it to her last.

Kate blushed and her insides fluttered every time he said some time like that. She loved but also hated that he had that effect on her.

"Thank you", the three adults replied to Rick as he slide into the booth right next Kate. Rick just smiled at the adults.

"Alright, let's dig in", Jim said as he grabbed a piece of the meat covered pizza. The two other adults did the same as Rick and Kate both reached for the same slice of cheese pizza. Rick blushed when their hands brushed while Kate just smiled at Kate. Rick pulled his hand back and told Kate, "You can have that piece."

Kate smiled but she was frowning on the inside. "Thanks", she said and grabbed the piece next to it.

Rick put the pizza down on his plate then remembered his question. "You guys are Yankee fans?" Rick asked looking between the Becketts.

"Yeah, and we're Knicks for basketball and Jets for football. Why? Who are your favorite teams Rick?" Jim said as he took as drink.

"I love the bay area teams. You know the SF Giants, SF 49ers, the Sharks, and the Warriors. But the New York teams are my second favorite. Mainly because those are the two places I lived the most throughout my live", Rick said as he took a sip out of his smoothie.

"Well, those are some pretty good teams and I do root for them. You should come over to watch the different games. Know that I think about it the Warriors and Knicks are going to play on Friday we should watch the game together, we can watch it where ever you want", Jim said getting excited to final have a guy to watch the games with.

"Yeah I would love to watch some games with you. Hold on, have to make a call", Rick said then got out of his seat and walked outside.

Rick pulled his phone out and scrolled through his contacts. He finally found the name he was looking for: Stephen Curry [F.Y.I: If you don't know, Curry is a superstar for the Golden State Warriors]. He pressed call and on the third ring Curry picked up, "Is this little Rick C.R the one that always played with me when I was in high school", Curry said.

"Hey Steph, I just saw you a few weeks ago but how are you?" Rick replied with a smile.

"I've been good. Have you been watching any of our last games?" Curry asked happy to hear from his old friend.

"I watched almost every game. But I need a favor", Rick said getting to the reason he called.

"What can I do for you?" Stephen said.

"While I am now living with my Aunt in N.Y and was wondering if you could get me 5 good seats since you are playing here. And don't forget to mention who my parents are, that always seems to help", Rick said counting out the people who would go.

"Yeah no problem but I will do you one better. I'll get you court side and can get you and your friend on the court with us during warm-ups. We both know Coach Jackson has a soft spot for you", Steph said as he talked to what sounded like his agent. "I'll get back to you within the hour, bye", Steph said and then hung up.

Rick was smiling as he walked back in and went and sat right back down next to Kate. "What did I miss?" Rick said as he looked around the table.

"We were talking about some stuff from court that would bore you", Martha said with a wave of her hand.

"Finish up your food we have to go soon, it's 8:00 o'clock and you guys have to leave early tomorrow", Johanna said looking at her watch. Everyone nodded and started on finishing the food with small talk.

About 10 minutes later Rick felt his phone vibrate in his phone. He looked down at his phone and read his text from Stephen: Your all set for the plan. Meet me 3 hours before the game and we'll have everything. See ya then, Little Man. Rick rolled his eyes and sent out a quick thanks. Then picked his head up and smiled a 100-watt smile.

Kate had been watching Rick since he looked down at his phone and her curiosity got the best of her. "What got you so happy?" Kate asked and then felt her insides flip when his smile got bigger when he looked at her.

"Well Jim you said I got to choose where we watch the game, right?" Rick said turning toward Jim who was finishing his smoothie.

"Yeah, why? You got a place in mind", Jim said putting down his empty glass.

"I just talked to one of my friends and I got 5 special tickets to the Warrior and Knicks game. My guy is from the Warriors side so the benefits are for them. We get court side tickets and to be able to warm-up with the Warriors. You know if you want to?" Rick said with his smile stuck on his face.

"Are you kidding me I would love to go and Katie to! Martha? Jo?" Jim said with excitement on his face.

"No, Johanna and I will be going shopping on Friday so count us out", Martha replied as Johanna nodded in agreement.

"So maybe we can invite Javier and Kevin?" Rick suggested.

"Yeah I that works", Jim said excited all ready.

Rick yawned but tried to cover it up. Johanna saw and started packing up there things, "Looks like it is time to go Rick is almost falling asleep and they have an early drive. You guys say your good byes and then meet us at the cars", Johanna said as she and Jim said bye to Rick and Martha said bye to Kate. The three adults walked out together with all their stuff and the stuffed animals.

Rick turned to Kate to find her staring right at him. He smiled at her and turned his body towards her. "Well I'll see you on Monday", Rick said as he put his hand out for her to shake.

Kate ignored his hand and pulled him into a hug. He tensed at first but then relaxed and hugged her back.

I have to tell him or do something. But he'll have to think about it. So he has a weekend. Can I wait that long. I'm just going to go for it, Kate thought having a battle in her head.

"Hey Rick?" Kate said building up her courage. He answered with a hum and a faint 'What'. "I want to cash in my winnings from the bet. I want a good night kiss", Kate said as she pulled her head back.

Rick was shocked and nervous about and unsure about her request. "Okay, a bet is a bet", Rick said as a smile came onto Kate's face.

Rick lowered his lips onto her for a gentle and sweet kiss. His hand went to her waist as her hand went to his head and hair.

This was better than Kate dreamed about. He was an amazing kisser. O my god, this is the best kiss I've ever had and his hair is so soft. He's PERFECT. I think I'm falling in love, Kate thought as they were kissing.

All too soon the kiss was over due to the lack of oxygen. Kate was disappointed but overjoyed that they kissed. Her lips were still tingling.

"Rick I really like you and I want to be with you but I know you will want to think about it so let's talk on Monday when you get back. On a side note that was amazing", Kate said with a huge smile on her face.

Rick couldn't believe that Kate liked him and watched to be with someone like him. He was grateful that she was going to let him think. "Thanks Kate, see you Monday", Rick said and in his moment of bravery he leaned in and pecked her on the lips. With that he turned and walked away with a fight going on his brain.

Kate couldn't help the smile that almost split her face in half after his little peck. She frowned realizing how long this week was going to be. She sighed and walked out of towards her parents' car after seeing Rick and Martha drive away.

Monday is only three days away, both Rick and Kate thought driving in their cars.

So my life has been crazy so I want to thank you all for being patient. But I don't know when I have time to write, sorry.

Please review I would love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks.
