Chapter 3 – Say It

Ricky's POV

"I don't know. I just……Ricky…wow." Amy said lost for words. "I-I-I…"

"You what?" I asked smirking, wanting her to say she loved me.

"I just broke up with Ben." She said frowning.

"Oh." I said disappointed.

"But I do love you." She said smiling. I smirked. "Ricky, I've loved you for a long time. But I don't think right now is the perfect time to get in a relationship." She said.

"You're right." I said shaking my head.

"Ben just broke up with me, and I don't even think you and Adrian are through." She said. Ugh, Adrian. That girl is like a cigarette. You know it's bad for you, but you're just addicted to it. Well, Amy is my nicotine patch……wait, that didn't sound right. Well, I guess you know what I mean.

"You're right. But, Amy." I said taking her hand in mine. "For you, I'll do anything. You've changed me for the better. I have a son, and a beautiful girlfriend. Well, not yet, but you know." I said looking at her eyes. "I want to take things slow because last time we didn't do that." I said smirking.

"Yeah, last time we went NASCAR." She said laughing. I laughed too. "But we won the race." She said looking at John.

"We did." I said taking her hand in mine. "And I wouldn't have changed a thing."

"Me either." She said. I wanted to kiss her, but that would be too fast. Plus after the way I treated Adrian I don't think it would be right. I should have a closure with Adrian before starting things with Amy. But she surprised me and kissed me. I didn't know that a kiss could be so great…even a short one. With Adrian, it was just a kiss. With Amy, it was a connection.

"Wow. That was great. What was that for?" I asked as I smirked.

"Because you're great." She said. I hugged her.

"I should go." I said as I went upstairs and grabbed my shirt.

"Now? Why?" She asked.

"I need to go take care of some things, but I promise when I'm done I'll be back over here to see John and you." I said as I kissed her cheek.

"Bye." She said as she stood at the door and watched me pull out of the driveway. I drove over to Adrian's place. She was getting something from her car when I came. I parked and got out.

"Hey, stranger." She said as she walked towards me smiling.

"Hi, Adrian." I said with no emotion on my face as I stood by my car.

"Want to come in. My mom and dad aren't in, and I could really use the company." She said as she came up to me and put her hand on my chest. I quickly removed it.

"Adrian, I can't anymore." I said as I saw the emotion on her face change to confusion.

"Why? Was it something I said? Was it something I did, or didn't do?" She asked.

"No, it's just that. I'm in love." I said as anger came across her face.

"In love?! With who…Amy?" She said sort of shaking at Amy's name.

"Yes, with Amy. I finally know what I want in life, and what I want is a family with Amy and John. I want them in my life forever, not you." I said getting back into my car.

"Stop." Adrian said banging on my window as I started my car. "STOP!!!" She yelled as I backed out of my spot. As I was pulling onto the road, I looked at my rearview mirror and saw Adrian crying on her knees. I didn't mean to hurt her that bad. I didn't mean to do that to her. She wasn't the best of girls, but she was at least a friend. She was someone I could talk to, that is until Amy and I got together. I drove to my apartment, and took a shower. I decided to call Adrian before I left to go to Amy's.

"Hello." I choked out as she picked up the phone.

"W-What do you w-want?" She asked. Obviously she was crying because you could barely understand her words.

"I want to say sorry. Adrian I love you, but I love you as a friend. All we can ever be is friends. All we ever were was friends. I'm in love with Amy…" she cut me off.

"If this is because of John, you don't need to be with Amy. You don't need to feel pressured because you two have a son together. Ricky I'm in love with you, not her…" I stopped her right there.

"Adrian. No. I'm sorry. That's all I can say is sorry. I don't love you the way I love Amy. I have a connection with Amy." I said feeling bad for Adrian.

"I will never understand what she has that I don't. I give you what you want, and that is sex." She said.

"First, she has something you never will………my son. And you gave me what I want. I'm changed now, for the better. But Adrian, you and I had great sex." I said trying to make her feel better.

"Well, yeah. No one gives good sex like I do." She said seductively. We both laughed. "Look, I will never be ok with this, but Ricky. I hope you have a good life with your family." She said. I can tell she struggled with the word family.

"Thanks Adrian." I said surprised that she would say that.

"You're welcome. And I really do hope that we all can be good friends." She said. I knew what she meant by saying all.

"Yeah. Me too. Well, I'll talk to you later." I said.

"Ok, bye." She said as she hung up the phone. Wow. I felt great. I had a friendship with Adrian, and now I could feel better about having a serious relationship with Amy. I drove over to Amy's house with my bag packed just in case she wanted me to stay. Hopefully she did because I had a great day planned for us. But as I pulled up, I saw Ben. I saw Ben leaving Amy's house smiling. What the hell is he smiling for?

Uh Oh! I don't want to give the next chapter away, but here's a small sneak peak. (I'm making this up right now. I really didn't write the chapter yet, but this will be in it).

Ricky's POV

I got out of my car and went to Ben.

"What the hell are you smiling for coming out of Amy's house?" I said as I approached him. He backed up and almost tripped.

"Um, I, um." He hesitated.

"You um, what? Tried to heal Amy's broken heart?" I said. "Because you know we're together."

"What?" He said looking confused.

"She didn't tell you." I said kind of shocked.

"No. She didn't even mention you in the conversation." He said.

"Really?" I said as we walked towards Amy's door. From the looks of it, it doesn't seem like I'll be spending the night tonight.

Ok, that was the sneak peak. Don't forget to review.
