Monday Morning:

This weekend was probably the best weekend I have had in a while. Grace called Saturday to make sure everything was okay with Ricky and I, and I told her how we talked it all out. Ricky shut his phone off after it rang for like 10 minutes straight, Kelly wanted to talk but he didn't want to. After he shut it off we went to the park and out to dinner. We filled up the kiddy pool in my yard and went "swimming" with John. Sunday we just chilled at home all day, relaxing, watching movies, just spending time with our son. Well it is now six in the morning and time for us to get up and get John ready. I rolled over and smiled when I seen Ricky still sleeping. He looked like he didn't have a care in the world. I didn't want to wake him up but I knew I had to. I leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, and he didn't move so this time I kissed him on the lips. I felt him reach over and pull me close so I pulled my lips away.

"Good Morning Beautiful" he said to me

"Morning" I said "We have to get up, you get John and I will shower and make breakfast." I said and I rolled out of bed

"I don't want to move" he whined

"Yeah well back to the real world although I will admit this weekend was the best." I said as I walked out the door before he could continue on with his conversation it would only lead to us being late. So I showered, got dressed and went in the kitchen to make breakfast. I had stopped breastfeeding when John turned 3 months because with daycare and school it wasn't working out well. I looked in the nursery and seen Ricky feeding John and he was just looking at him like he was the most precious thing in the world. So I walked in the kitchen and made Ricky and I cereal and sat down and ate mine, I had just finished when Ricky walked out with John, who was all ready and smiling. Ricky passed him to me.

"Hey how is mommy's little man" I said "look at how cute you look. Did daddy dress you all up today?" I asked "Yeah you look so handsome" I said and smiled when he smiled

"You are a good mom Ames" He said

"You think?" I asked

"Nope, I know. He already loves you so much!" he said and I smiled

"We have to go" I told him, and put John in his seat and off we went. We dropped John off at the daycare and than off to school we went. I took a deep breath when we pulled up to school and stepped out. I walked to the front and sat on the hood of the car. Ricky walked over and stood in between my legs and I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Can we go home?" I asked and he laughed and kissed me quick on the lips.

"Nope, we have to stay" he laughed and I pouted

"But I don't want to" I laughed and he kissed me again and pulled me off the hood.

"I am going to have to deal with you pouting and our son pouting, what am I going to do?" he said and I laughed and right as soon as he let go of me. Someone ran and wrapped their arms around Ricky. I noticed that he froze and that it was Kelly. I walked over and pulled her off of him. Ricky doesn't like surprise attacks, and he panics.

"What the hell are you doing" I yelled

"Ricky, I am so glad you are okay" she said and I turned to look at Ricky who still looked a little dazed so I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed his shoulder and he wrapped his arms around me. I turned to look at Kelly and she didn't look happy.

"Why the hell haven't you answered your phone all weekend? I was worried something happened to you." She said

"I was with my girlfriend and my son, and I didn't want to be bothered by liars." He said and I smirked

"What are you talking about? I didn't know you had a son!" she said

"Oh so you didn't tell Amy that the only reason I was with her was because of our son, and that I missed my old life and Adrian." He asked

"Why would I say that, who is Adrian" she said

"You're good, I will give you that but Adrian's your cousin and you showed up at my girlfriends house with my son in the next room and started shit with her. That is not okay with me, and this so called friendship is over." He said

"What are you talking about Ricky, she is lying. I went over there to tell her that we were just friends and she called me all these names and told me to stay away from you." She said

"Stop with the bull shit already. You showed up at my house on Friday night and you told me to stay away from my boyfriend, you told me he didn't love me and that he was only with me for OUR son, you told me that he missed his old life. You said that since I refused to stay away, we were going to play this the hard way. Well guess what game over bitch because you see, I play the game much better. You ran to Ricky about our conversation but you underestimated just who you were dealing with. You see Ricky and I have been friends for years, he knows me better than anyone beside my other friend Grace, he knows I would never attack you with out reason. He also loves me and he trust me more than someone he knew for a week. Adrian and him at least had history but I still got him. Oh and next time you want to tell someone off and suggest we are playing a game make sure there is no one that can back up my story. You see while you were standing there starting drama and running your mouth, Grace was right behind the door. I know how to play this game sweetie. So now I will tell you exactly what you want to hear stay the hell away from my boyfriend. He loves me, and you honey just lost." I said with a smile

"I wasn't playing a game, all I wanted was to be friends." She said

"You played your hand way to early. You see if you were going to win, you would know that." I said with a smile and I felt Ricky hide his face in my neck, because I knew he wanted to laugh.

"Amy you are making a big deal over nothing" she said and I just walked out of Ricky's arms and smiled walked over to her and whispered in here ear.

"Fine let the games begin" and with that I turned and nodded my head and Ricky walked around her and followed me and grabbed my hands.

"You are not very nice, baby" he said as he laughed

"Well you know what they say, good girls are no fun. I can't do what normal teens do with John, so I can have a little fun right?" I said smiling up at him, and he just laughed as we headed to my locker where Grace was waiting.

"Took you long enough" she said

"We ran into a little road block on the way" I said and Ricky just kept laughing

"You should have seen her Grace, it was so funny" he said "What did you whisper in her ear?" he asked

"I said let the games begin" I smiled and Grace looked confused. "Come on we have to get to class I will explain on the way. I turned kissed Ricky and was off to class while telling Grace the whole story. Classes flew by and before I knew it, it was lunch time. I called the nursery to check on John and he was an angel today. I had just sat down when Kelly came over with no lunch.

"How did you do it?" she asked

"Do what?" I asked

"How did you get Ricky to believe you?" she asked

"I told the truth." I said and Ricky walked over with two trays and sat one down in front of me and kissed the top of my head

"Thanks" I said and I seen Kelly waiting for Ricky to say something to her and than Grace came over with her lunch.

"How is John?" Ricky asked

"Perfect, they said he is being an angel today" I said

"So what did you guys wind up doing this weekend?" Grace asked everyone was completely ignoring Kelly and it was so funny.

"Amy and I spent the weekend with John. Saturday we went to the park and sat in the baby pool and than did a nice dinner out. Sunday we spent the whole day in bed." He said and I was laughing in my head I knew what he was doing and it made me so happy.

"That good" she said

"What about you, Grace" I asked

"Well my mom and I went shopping all day Saturday and Sunday after church we went to see a movie and I met some kid at church. He is really sweet and we exchanged numbers." She said all smiles

"What is his name?" I asked still ignoring Kelly and eating my lunch while Ricky kept his arm around me and ate his lunch.

"William but everyone calls him Will or Willy" she said

"He better treat you right" Ricky said

"Slow down tiger, nothing is happening yet." Grace laughed so to be polite I turned to Kelly

"Oh Kelly, we must have forgot you were here. What did you do this weekend?" I asked her with a smirk.

"Well after we had words on Friday, I went to Ricky's to talk to him and than went home. Saturday and Sunday I went out with some friends to a party." She said

"Oh you are one of those?" I said

"One of what?" she asked

"Party girls" I said

"Not all the time just on occasion" she said to try and defend herself

"Right, anyway, so babe I was thinking that after you get off work today, you can come over and have dinner with John and I. After dinner we can sit outside if it is still nice out and look at the stars." I said

"Sounds like the perfect night, with the perfect people." He said and I smiled

"Do you guys do that often?" Kelly asked

"What?" Grace said

"Spend the night together?" she asked

"He sleeps at Amy's every night mostly" Grace said smiling

"To help with the baby?" she asked

"Nope, I want to be with my girl" Ricky said looking at her. I was laughing so hard on the inside. The bell rang and we all were off to finish the day. I thought this was the most amusing thing in history. Once class was over and I was walking over to my locker I herd Kelly.

"You are good at this game" she said

"What game? I wasn't aware I was playing one. You know you following me around school is very creepy. My boyfriend and I are happy, why can't you leave it alone" I asked

"You guys aren't happy, he told me" she said

"Right like I would believe you, see as I mentioned you don't know how to play the game Kelly so don't try. You are way out of your league, I can play better and I will win. Ask your cousin how long she has been trying to get Ricky. I had him before we even started dating and that drove her crazy. It pissed her off that he would defend me that he would talk to me, that he would drop her for me, you see Ricky was always mine and he always will be. He loves me and that is something she can't compete with. We have been through hell and back and we have always come out on top. We have been through more shit in the past year than we could have imagined but look where we are. Stop trying to interfere. He loves me; it is not going to change." I said

"This isn't over" she said

"You ruined your chances of wining Kelly" I said and I walked away and over to Ricky and wrapped my arms around him. "I love you" I said to him

"I love you too" he said and kissed me I seen Adrian walking past us

"Hey Adrian" I yelled

"What" she asked

"Tell your cousin Kelly to back off. I have to admit that was a nice play on your part, but it didn't work and it won't" I said

"What the hell are you talking about?" she asked

"Don't act stupid. It doesn't do anything for you. You know exactly what I am talking about. You both are fighting a losing battle." I said and I grabbed Ricky's hand and we walked to the car.

"You know you have a fight on your hands with those two." He asked

"As long as you trust me, don't take their sides and believe me when I tell you something we will be just fine." I said

"I will always chose you" he said

"You are so cheesy some times. They underestimate me Ricky. They think I am this stupid little girl who is going to fall apart because they want you." I said and we got in the car. "Kelly made a huge mistake on her part. She got to confident and played her card to early. She was banking on you not trusting me, and that by her running to you it was going to put a wedge between us and you were going to side with her. She didn't get all her facts. She didn't think about us being as close as we are and she didn't realize how much trust means to us. You see if she knew what she was doing she would have started by building your friendship up, building trust, than she should have started planting doubts in your mind. Nothing major little things, like she seen me talking to this person and so on. Leaving you questioning what else I was hiding. After she could have said we got into an argument and made it seem like it didn't affect her, and months later after she had you unsure weather you can trust me. Bam you play the tears and the whole she attacked me fight. It causes the trust to be broken and a huge fall out. Than with this entire plan a break up will happen and than she is the best friend there to pick up the pieces." I said

"Wow, how do you know all this?" he asked as we pulled up to the daycare.

"I had to do something while John was sleeping and you were at work. Soap operas are very educational." I said and kissed him goodbye and hopped out of the car.

"Hey I am getting out of work early, I will being steaks for dinner and pick you up here." He said

"Sounds good, have a great day" I said and it was off to work I go. I visited with John for a few minutes and than it was working for the rest of the day. The day went by fast and before I knew it. John and I were in the car on the way to our house.

"How was work?" he asked me

"It was good, it actually flew by" I told him

"Well you're not going to like what happened at work." He said

"What happened now?" I asked

"Kelly came in" he said

"Can't Bunny tell her to leave you the hell alone?" I said

"She said she was sorry that she lied, but she figured that if she told me what really happened I would cut all ties with her, and she didn't want that to happen. She said I was the only one nice to her since she came here, and she wants to continue to be friends. She said we can keep it on the down low so that you don't' have to know. She said we won't talk at school but she could come and hang out at my place." He said

"She is so desperate it is actually really funny. She is trying so hard to make this work because she screwed up." I said

"What do you want to do about it?" he asked

"Well what did you tell her" I said

"I told her between spending time with my family and hanging out with my friends I don't have much time for anything else, and she said she could take what she can get." He said

"So I call her out on it tomorrow, because than she knows you told me. She is banking on you keeping it a secret from me and obviously that wasn't going to happen" I said as we pulled up outside my house. Ricky got John and we walked up the path way, and into the house.

"You know she really isn't the smartest person. She is playing on the fact that even though I continue to tell her we have a bond she doesn't want to believe it" I said

"Well what can you do?" he asked

"I just want to smack her, but she hasn't done anything to warrant that." I said

"I am glad to see you are not jumping into smacking her." He said as he was holding John and I was getting dinner ready.

"It would be so much easier if I didn't have to worry how everything would affect John" I said

"Amy you love John and you wouldn't give him up for anything." He said

"Of course I wouldn't but I have to worry about him and now you. Damn it Ricky why do you have to be so attractive." I said

"Hey don't hate on me because I have the looks" he said laughing

"Okay, let's forget about Kelly and enjoy the night" I said and he smiled and played with John. Tonight it was just us.
