Secret Life of Adrian
Adrian stood just outside Jack and Grace's home, low music was heard on the other side of the door. After leaving McDonald's earlier she took Bella to the mall to buy them clothes for the party.
Adrian had bought Bella a little dress from the Sweet Ivy clothes line. It was a sleeveless pleated dress with bright yellow poppies, from big at the bottom to small at the top, all over it. The dress had ruffled lining from the waist down with black buttons just above the waist going to the neck line. A ribbon, also adorned with the bold flowers, tied around Bella's mid-section.
Adrian, on the other hand, decided to go for the sexier look than her daughter's cute attire. She wore a cornflower blue dress. The dress wrapped around her thighs ending just below her rear. The sleeves fluttered down in a drape type fashion, the sides leading to the elastic side shirring at the hips, creating a hugging fit. A sultry keyhole with raw edges graced the center of her bust that Adrian hoped would attract attention.
With Bella on her hip, Adrian rang the doorbell. There was a noise on the other side of the door. A second later Jack swung open the wooden barrier. He had a smile on his face once he saw his fiancée's best friend.
"Adrian, hey! What's up? Come in." He moved aside to let her in. She entered the house and looked around realizing she was the first there.
"Hey Jack. Where's Grace?" Jack told her she was in the kitchen and Adrian headed there next. Grace was humming a cheery tune while stirring a pot of chili. As Adrian came into the room Bella called out.
"Auntie Gracie!" She squirmed out of her mother's arms. When Adrian finally got Bella to the floor, she ran over to Grace, who picked her up into a hug.
"Hey Bella. You and your Mommie are the first ones to get here!" Grace told her excitedly. Bella smiled widely and jumped from her aunt's arms to go to the play room they had set up for her.
Once she left the room, Adrian and Grace just looked at each other before Grace broke the silence.
"I'm sorry for not telling you about Amy being in town. I know she's a touchy subject for you and I'm really sorry." Adrian stared at her for a long five seconds before she grinned.
"It's okay. Just don't let it happen again, kay?" Grace was about to respond with a thankful smile on her face when the doorbell rang, its chimes filling the house.
"Oh! More guests! Yay!" Grace practically skipped out of the room and Adrian stayed behind.
"Hello!" Adrian heard Grace greet whoever was at the door. "Come in! Come in! You two are the second people to arrive! Go sit down and I'll bring out the food. C'mon Jack." Jack and Grace walked into the kitchen once again. Jack grabbed food trays and left the two women.
"So who's here?" Adrian questioned.
"Oh, Alice and Henry. You know how they, always coming together. Say could you grab that bowl. No, the one with the chips in them. Yeah those ones." Adrian rolled her eyes, but followed Grace back into the living room where Henry and his longtime girlfriend, Alice, sat on a big royal blue couch. The aforementioned eyes widened in surprise when Adrian came into view.
They weren't expecting her to be here and they quickly whipped out their cell phones to warn Ben. After sending their text messages, they looked up to see the three other occupants of the room looking at them quizzically. Henry shrugged and Alice forced a smile.
With a signature eye roll, Adrian left the room to go check on her daughter. Within a half an hour, the house was packed with old friends and enemies.
Along with Alice and Henry, there was Ashley, Tom, Lauren, Madison, Ben, Amy, John, and other former cheerleaders and football players. Adrian chose to stay up with Bella to make sure she didn't get lonely when John walked into the room.
Adrian knew because he looked just like Ricky. Right down to the hair to the brown in his eyes.
"I'm sorry. Miss Bowman said to come in here to play." He was about to turn and walk out when Adrian's voice stopped the five year old.
"You can play in here, you know? It's big enough for the three of us." The little boy looked apprehensive but walked in and shut the door, blocking out the sound and chatter of the adults.
"My name's John Juergens. Daddy calls me J.J. though." Adrian felt her heart constrict slightly at his words, not knowing if he was speaking of Ricky or Ben.
"I'm Adrian and this is my daughter, Bella." Bella waved at him and went back to playing with her dolls in the plastic doll house. John timidly walked over to the two girls.
"So, tell me about your-self, John." Adrian said.
"Ummm. I live with Mommie and Daddy. My other Daddy doesn't live with us, but he comes over all the time." John smiled and Adrian had to smile back.
"What's your favorite color?" Adrian asked.
"Hmmm…Today, it's brown."
"Today?" Adrian chuckled.
"I like other colors on other days." He shrugged. After a few other innocent questions, Bella and John were playing house with the Barbie's and Kens. Adrian took this chance to leave the room.
As soon as she stepped outside the room, she ran into Ben. He was taller and more muscular, but he still stuttered.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see you. I was looking for my son and I guess I just ran into you and-"
"Boykewich! Calm down." His eyes widened.
"Adrian? Oh! Have you seen John? I can't find him and Amy's going to throw a fit if I lost him." He was panicking.
"Calm down Ben. He's in the playroom. Go back out to the party. Is Grace in the kitchen?" He nodded slightly shocked at her pleasantness. She said a quick thanks and went into the kitchen where Grace indeed was.
"Hey, everyone here?"
"Yup! This is such a big hit. I'm so excited! Did you see John? He looks so much like Ricky!" Adrian didn't have time to answer when a shout was heard from the other room.
"What do you want!?" It was Amy's voice. Grace and Adrian looked at each other stunned then they ran into the room. Everyone had continued what they were doing as if Amy wasn't standing there yelling at the little boy next to her.
He looked as if he might burst into tears any second. He had a picture in his hands, one he drew by the looks of it. As a mother, Adrian had to step in.
"Calm down Amy." Amy looked sharply in Adrian's direction, an angry look planted on her face.
"What?" She asked disbelievingly.
"The kid just wants to show you a picture. No need to get all mad at him."
"Do not tell me how to parent my child! In fact never tell me how to parent at all! You're not a mother you wouldn't understand what this is like." Grace looked on uneasily.
"Um, Amy? Adrian-" Adrian cut her off.
"No Grace. Let her tell me what I don't understand." Adrian said calmly.
"You don't understand the diapers, and the feedings, and the bathing, and the bedtime stories, and the being around a baby all the time. You don't know what its like to be a mother! I don't even see why anyone would want to have a baby with you!" Amy spat.
"Oh, get off the 'pity-me' wagon." Adrian told her, ignoring the last comment. Amy's eyes looked enraged.
"Pity? Pity?! That's what you think I'm doing? Getting pity? I got pregnant at fifteen!"
"You're still on that?" Adrian asked with a fake yawn.
"What do you mean?"
"Ever since you got pregnant, you go on and on about how it's everyone around you's fault, but never your own! Last time I checked, it took two people to get in that kind of predicament."
"You wouldn't understand." Amy said again. "I would feel bad for you're kid. You would be a horrible mother. You don't even understand the responsibility that it takes to raise another human being!"
"I know more than you think."
"Did you have a baby at fifteen? Did you?" Adrian opened her mouth to answer, when another voice came out, one that froze everyone in the room.
"Mommie?" Adrian looked to the hallway where her daughter stood. Bella walked over to Adrian, who bent down to her height.
"Yeah, Baby?"
"I'm tired."
"I bet, it's past your bedtime. You want to go home now?" Bella nodded. Adrian picked her up and looked back at Amy.
"I had a baby at eighteen. I had Grace and her family with me. That was it. Like I said I know more than you think. Look around you Amy. Lots of teens are having kids. Not just you." She walked over to Grace to hug her goodbye and than did the same for Jack.
"Call me tomorrow Grace." She nodded and Adrian walked out the door, leaving several shocked people and one angry one. And it's not who you think it is.
