Author's Note: Adriana's last name is Germanotta. So, her mom will be called Ms. Germanotta. I needed to give her a name. :P Now, ALLONS-Y!
October 1999:
"I honestly don't have the guts to ask her out, Ms. Germanotta. I'm just too shy," Jon said.
Homecoming was approaching fast. Jon wanted to ask Adriana out but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
"Now, I find it hard to believe that you can't find it in you to ask her out! You have known her since you two were seven. Are you afraid she might say no?" Mrs. Germanotta said.
Jon simply nodded his head.
"I did make her a poster that says "Will you go to homecoming with me, My Queen" but it's so lame. I'm a mess!"
Jon buried his face in his hands.
"You are not a mess. You are a good and respectful young man. I'm glad my daughter found you," Mrs. Germanotta said.
She was making spaghetti. She put a top over the pan and joined Jon who was at the table sulking.
"Get your face out of your hands," she said.
Jon slowly removed his hands.
"You know, ever since I divorced my husband, everything has been great for all of us. We've all been liberated. Adriana never told me that she was getting bullied so much in school. Yes, I did know about her getting bullied but she never explained in detail. I'm glad that you stepped in and rescued her. I know this may be late but better late than never. I want to say thank you," Mrs. Germanotta said.
"You're welcome. I really, really like Adriana. She's just...different," Jon said.
"And that's why you need to ask her to homecoming!"
The door opened and in came Adriana.
"Oh good! You're home! Jon has something he'd like to say to you," Mrs. Germanotta said.
"Mrs. G!" Jon said.
"What is it?" Adriana said.
Jon felt his face get red.
"Jon, don't you have something to show Adriana?"
"Oohhh, show me what?" Adriana asked. Her face was bright with anticipation.
"Hold on a sec," Jon said.
He got up and went to get his poster. He read it over again and took a deep breath. He went back out and held up the poster, hiding his face behind it.
Adriana walked up to him and took the poster, revealing his red as a apple face.
"Jon, I'll be more than glad to go to homecoming with you," she said.
"Really!? Woooo!"
Jon picked Adriana up and swung her around.
Adriana had picked out a blue dress with matching blue shoes and a matching bow to go accomodate the entire outfit. Jon wore a tux and had his hair slicked back. He was extremely nervous, trying not to mess up his outfit.
"You two have fun!" Adriana's mom said.
Adriana and Jon watched as everyone boogied on the dancefloor. From rap to salsa, you named it they played it.
But Adriana and Jon were waiting for the right time to get on the dancefloor. They mingled with the other students until the DJ finally played a good slow song.
"Alright! Time time to dance with that special someone!" the AJ said.
"Would you honor me with a dance, my Queen?" Jon said.
"Yes, my King," Adriana said.
Adriana and Jon moved to the dancefloor. The DJ played a classic R&B song.
*Author intervention: Listen to this song watch?v=Qfum6EYGbL8 This is the song the DJ is playing.*
"Ooohhh, I love this song," Adriana said.
"Who sings it?" Jon asked.
"K-Ci & JoJo," Adriana said.
"Oh...wait a minute, now I remember! This song is perfect for me and you," Jon said.
Jon had his hands on Adriana's waist. Adriana had her hands on Jon's shoulder's. The two couldn't stop staring into each other's eyes.
Adriana's beautiful green eyes looking into Jon's blue eyes. The lyrics of the song described their relationship perfectly:
"I will never find another lover sweeter than you,
Sweeter than you
And I will never find another lover more precious than you
More precious than you
Girl you are close to me you're like my mother,
Close to me you're like my father,
Close to me you're like my sister,
Close to me you're like my brother
You are the only one my everything and for you this song I sing
And all my life I've prayed for someone like you
And I thank God that I, that I finally found you
All my life I've prayed for someone like you
And I hope that you feel the same way too
Yes, I pray that you do love me too
I said you're all that I'm thinking of...baby
Said, I promise to never fall in love with a stranger,
You're all I'm thinking of, I praise the Lord above,
For sending me your love, I cherish every hug,
I really love you
And all my life, baby, baby, I've prayed for someone like you,
And I thank God that I, that I finally found you, baby
All my life I've prayed for someone like you
And I hope that you feel the same way too
Yes, I pray that you do, love me
You're all that I ever known, when you smile, on my face, all I see is a glow.
You turned my life around, you picked me up when I was down,
You're all that I ever known, when you smile on your face all I see is a glow,
You picked me up when I was down
You're all that I ever known, when you smile on your face all I see is a glow,
You picked me up when I was down and I hope that you feel the same way too,
Yes I pray that you do love me too
All my life, I've prayed for someone like you,
And I thank God that I, that I finally found you
All my life I've prayed for someone like you
Yes, I pray that you do love me too
All my life I've prayed for someone like you
And I thank God that I, that I finally found you
All my life I've prayed for someone like you
Yes, I pray that you do love me too"
"I love you, Jonathon Good," Adriana said.
"I love you too, Adriana Marie Germanotta," Jon said.
Even when they got home, they went straight to their room and continued slow dancing. Adriana played the same song they danced to at homecoming.
"You know, if I could, I'd marry you right now," Jon said.
"I would, too," Adriana said.
"Tell me, how have you learned to put up with me through the years?"
"When I told you I loved you, I meant it. When you love someone you'll do anything to make sure they're safe, okay, warm, healthy, happy. Everything. You dedicate your time to showing that you care. Just like you've done for me," Adriana said.
"I don't regret anything either," Jon said. "Forever and always."
"Forever and always."
The two fell asleep in bed with the song playing.
Apparently they had the music a little too loud. Mrs. Germanotta got up and went to turn it off. She had opened the door to their room.
"Hey, can you guys-"
She stopped midway through her sentence.
She looked and saw Jon's head laying on top of Adriana's chest. She quickly tore her eyes away from the two and turned off the radio. She quickly left the room and shut the door. She didn't want to start thinking bad thoughts. But she did began to feel a little uneasy. She did understand that the two had strong feelings about each other and that they were serious about remaining together. Of course, Jon wouldn't do anything to hurt Adriana. He wouldn't dare. But the two were at the age where they were developing and maturing. Which meant that they would probably think about having sex with each other. Adriana never told her mother about the times her and Jon made out. Adriana honestly didn't know how to tell her mother. Of course she trusted her mom, but she couldn't bring herself to say what has been going on between her and Jon.
Mrs. Germanotta couldn't sleep and went to make herself some hot chocolate.
She tried to scratch the thought of Adriana and Jon doing the deed out of her mind but she couldn't.
"Mom?"
It was Adriana.
"Oh, hey. What are you doing up?" Mrs. Germanotta said.
"I went to the bathroom. What are you doing up?"
"Nothing. Just thinking."
"Thinking about?"
Mrs. Germanotta looked at her daughter.
"Thinking about you and Jon. I saw you two laying together when I went to turn off your radio."
Adriana took a seat next to her mother.
"Are you thinking that me and Jon...are having sex?"
Mrs. Germanotta didn't say anything at first.
"Mom?"
"No...just...I knew you two were close...but I didn't know you two were that close..."
Adriana decided to tell her mom the truth about her and Jon.
"You might get mad at me and Jon, but...we have made out before. It's been two years since we started making out with each other. We did get intimate here and there. Very intimate. But nothing more."
Mrs. Germanotta took everything in.
"Mom?"
Mrs. Germanotta looked at her daughter.
"Mom...are you ok?"
"Yeah. You're just growing up. You're getting older..." her mom said. "My beautiful girl."
Mrs. Germanotta started to cry a little.
"Mom, stop crying," Adriana said, hugging her mom.
Adriana took her mother back to her room.
Mrs. Germanotta managed to stop crying and fell asleep. Adriana left the room and closed her door.
She went down the hallway to her room and laid back down with Jon.
She looked at him peacefully sleeping, his once nice and slicked back hair now disheveled. She pushed some strands out of his hair and revealed his angel like face.
With her mother now knowing of their intimacy, she wondered what would happen next.
Author's Note: For the song, if you are on mobile, look up the song "All My life" by K- Ci and JoJo. This is only for users on mobile that way you'll have an idea of what the song sounds like.
*P.S. Things are about to a weeeee bit more interesting. :)
