Here's chapter 36! I hope you like it! Please R&R! I do not own anything from The Secret Life Of The American Teenager! Thank you! I really appreciate everyone's reviews! This one is just going to have Grace and Ricky in it! :)

Italics=Grace

Bold=Ricky

"Mmm...Those were very delicious pancakes Ricky." Grace grinned as she wiped her mouth with a napkin.

"Thanks...I didn't know how well they would turn out with this small stove but they were pretty good. So you ready to take this thing for a spin?" Ricky said happily as he threw away paper plates and plastic silver wear in the trash.

"Defiantly...I'm a little nervous though..." Grace said sweetly.

"Don't worry Grace...We're not going to crash. The jet actually has an auto pilot. So we can do a little bit of this while we're flying..." Ricky grinned as he walked over to Grace and he put one of his hands on her face. He slowly kissed her as she put her arms around Ricky's neck.

"Aaaah...My heart beats a little bit faster every time you kiss me..." Grace said relaxed as she let go of Ricky's mouth.

"Heh...Mine does too...Let's get going" Ricky said excited as he walked over to the pilot's seat.

Next Ricky turned on the engine with the keys and began to pull the jet off the roof of Grant High.

"Oh wow...You are pretty good at this..." Grace said surprised as they got higher up in the sky.

"Yeah...It's not too hard once you get the hang of it. Where do you want to go?" Ricky asked intrigued.

"I don't know...I've never rode in a private jet before...Let's just fly straight and see where it takes us." Grace said seriously.

"All right...Sounds good to me..." Ricky said smiling as he began to fly the jet straight ahead in the air.

"This is so amazing...Look at all the cars down there...They're so small..." Grace said as her eyes widened.

"Ha ha...That's because we're up so high. I actually know where I want to fly to..." Ricky said happily.

"Where is that?" Grace asked intrigued.

"You'll just have to wait and see for about ten minutes." Ricky said as he started to make the jet go a little faster.

About ten minutes later Grace and Ricky could see Los Angeles getting closer to them.

"This is incredible! LA looks so beautiful from up here." Grace said sweetly.

"It sure does. Not as beautiful as you do." Ricky said kindly.

"Heh...Thanks...for everything Ricky...You truly have been the best boyfriend that I could ask for." Grace said as she blushed and smiled slowly.

"You're welcome...Heh...You deserve the best Grace...And sometimes I still feel like I'm not good enough for you...But then I realize how much you love and care about me and I feel like I can do anything because of you." Ricky said sincerely.

"Aww Ricky! I'm so glad you feel that way! Of course you will always be good enough for me. No matter what happens, you will always be my knight in shining armor. I love you so much." Grace said happily and then she gave Ricky a kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks and you'll always be my princess...Ha ha...I just wish that I had fallen in love with you sooner..." Ricky said honestly.

"Why do you say that? Is it...because of Amy?" Grace asked sadly.

"Kind of yeah...and Adrian...Both of them kind of got in the way of us having a meaningful relationship before. And now that they go to school out of state, we can have a meaningful one." Ricky said seriously as they continued to fly over the city.

"So what are you saying? That I'm your last choice for a girlfriend because Amy and Adrian left? It was your fault too for being involved with them before." Grace said a little irritated.

"I know and...that's not what I meant...Besides, you were on and off with Jack too...I guess what I should have said is that my life is easier without Adrian and Amy living here." Ricky explained calmly.

"That makes more sense...It would be nice if Jack left...But the truth is no matter where anyone goes, there's a chance that you might see that person again...I never thought that we would get back together especially after you were with Amy. I really thought you two would stay together..." Grace said kindly.

"Yeah but I never really loved her. Our relationship was a real mess...We had some good memories but we fought too much...When I'm you, I heal from my mistakes. That's why I want to get baptized...So God can heal me from my past...I know a lot of people have looked down on me because of the terrible person that I was and also...for the pain that Bob caused me...But you love me for who I am and not who I used to be...And I love you for the same reason. You make my life so joyful Grace and I don't know what I would do without you." Ricky explained nicely and honestly as he looked at Grace in the eyes.

"Of course I will always love you for who you are Ricky. You're an amazing guy who is so loving and caring...And I'm really glad that you do want to become closer to God. Sometimes that's difficult but it will be worth it. You make me really happy too but sometimes I find it hard to believe that you do really love me...I know you have done a lot of things to show me how much you love me and I really appreciate that but...It's just hard for me to see you wanting to wait to have sex...You used to sleep with any girl that you could get your hands on and now...you're like the complete opposite. And I couldn't be happier." Grace said sweetly as she looked at Ricky in the eyes.

"Listen Grace, the real reason why I haven't pressured you to have sex is because I really am in love with you. Before I just used sex to fill feelings that I didn't have with other girls. None of them have loved me like you do. And when we do finally make love to each other, it will be for the right reasons." Ricky said seriously.

"Thank you Ricky...I know we will not only express our love for each other physically for the right reasons, but in every other way. I will no longer use sex for my own selfish reasons. I am ready to use it how God wants me to...And that is with you on our wedding night and for the rest of our lives after that." Grace said confidently.

"Mmm...I like that sound of that...How about we land this thing in that field and make out some?" Ricky smirked as he started to fly the jet closer to the ground.

"Heh...I would love to." Grace smiled slowly as she took off her seat belt.

Ricky slowly landed the jet in the grass and then he and Grace went into the bedroom.

"You wanna start?" Ricky said as he smiled slowly.

"With pleasure." Grace said seductively and then she started kissing Ricky slowly. After a few minutes, Ricky got on his back with Grace kissing him on top.

"Aaaah...That was nice...Keep going." Ricky said as he gasped for air.

"Yeah...I could kiss you for hours." Grace said happily and panting.

"Heh...Let's try it then." Ricky said as he smiled slowly.

"Sounds good to me..." Grace smirked and she gave Ricky another long kiss.
