"All right...You want to go first?" Ricky asked sweetly.

"Sure...Hopefully I'll get it. The first hole is usually the easiest..." Grace said nicely as she put the ball on the fake grass and hit it slowly with her golf club.

The ball went into the hole easily.

"Nice one Grace! Hopefully I'll get mine in." Ricky said happily.

"Thanks...Heh...You know...golfing is kind of sexy." Grace said a little seductively as she grabbed her ball out of the hole.

"Ha ha...Why do you think that?" Ricky grinned as he put his ball on the grass.

"You know...All this talk of getting balls in holes...Heh..." Grace said as she stood next to Ricky with a big smile on her face.

"Uh...yeah...Heh...We can talk about this later...There are some kids over there." Ricky said awkwardly as he hit his golf ball slowly with his club.

"Oh right...I'm sorry...I guess my mind was in the gutter again..." Grace said sadly as she looked at a couple kids playing golf with their dad.

"No...it's ok...Maybe this will help." Ricky said as he turned around and pulled Grace close to him. He moved her hair out of her face and gave her a long kiss.

"Well, well, well...Look who's here." A familiar voice said from behind them.

"Aaaah...Grant?! What are you doing here?" Grace said shocked as she let go of Ricky's mouth.

"I'm just here with Shawn. We're just friends." Grant said smiling.

"Shawn...Johnson?" Ricky said concerned.

"You know her?" Grant asked surprised.

"Yeah...We hung out a few times a long time ago." Ricky said seriously.

"Grant! There you are! Hey Ricky and Grace! How are you two?" Shawn said sweetly as she walked over to them from the bathroom.

"We're doing well Shawn...It's nice to see you again...Thanks for helping out with that uh...Just Say Me campaign in high school." Grace said kindly.

"No problem. It was a lot of fun." Shawn said happily.

"Heh...Not for me..." Ricky rolled his eyes.

"What are you talking about?" Grant asked confused.

"It's just a little experiment that we tried in high school...The counselor and principal had to stop it." Shawn said seriously.

"Oh...Well that's a bummer..." Grant said awkwardly.

"Not really...So how do you two know each other?" Grace asked sincerely.

"We have a couple classes together at Harvard. It's an amazing school. I'm surprised that you two didn't get in." Shawn said nicely.

"I could have gotten in easily. I was valedictorian of my graduating class but I wanted to go somewhere closer to home so I could work and take care of John and...Amy..." Ricky said honestly.

"Right...I'm sorry about that Ricky." Shawn said sweetly.

"No...It's ok...I love my school. They have a great business program." Ricky said nicely.

"Yeah...I wanted to get into Harvard but apparently I just wasn't what they were looking for...My school's great too." Grace said seriously.

"I'm sure it is...I hope you two have a great night. We need to get started on our game or we'll be here all night." Shawn said happily.

"All right...It was nice seeing you guys." Ricky said kindly.

"Yeah...See ya later." Grant said nicely as he followed Shawn to another area of the park.

"I can't believe he's here...Ugh...He just wanted to rub Harvard in my face again like he always did..." Grace said annoyed as she crossed her arms.

"Uh...He didn't rub it in your face...Shawn said that she was surprised that we don't go there." Ricky said concerned.

"That's true but she was nice about it...And Grant was giving me this look like 'I'm better than you because I go to Harvard'...He is so annoying." Grace said a little irritated.

"He seems all right to me...At least you have me now." Ricky said as he smiled slowly.

"Yeah...I'm really glad that I do...We should go to the next hole." Grace said sweetly.

"We should...You go ahead...I need to call Amy really quick." Ricky said as he pulled out his phone.

"Oh...About what?" Grace asked confused.

"It's her birthday and I want to wish her a happy one. I'll be there in a minute." Ricky said seriously as he called Amy.

"All right...I hope she has a happy one too..." Grace said nicely as she walked to the next hole.

After a few rings Amy answered her phone.

"Hey Ricky! How are you?" Amy asked enthusiastically.

"Hey Amy. You sound like you're in a good mood." Ricky said surprised.

"I am! Heh...Ben took me on an amazing birthday dinner and now we're enjoying a light show at Niagara Falls. My parents and Ashley even skyped me to wish me a happy birthday." Amy said excited.

"Oh wow! That's incredible! I'm really happy to hear that. I'm playing mini golf with Grace...I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday and I hope you enjoy the gift that I asked Ben to get you from me. How is he? Leo told me about the pills..." Ricky said happily and then sadly.

"Aww! Thank you Ricky...You're so sweet...I hope you two enjoy mini golf...Heh...I'm sure I will love your present. Ben is doing really well...The pill overdose was really scary but everything is fine now...And John is doing great too." Amy said sweetly.

"You're welcome...I'm sure we will enjoy it...and I'm glad Ben is fine...I can't wait to see John again! I hope you have a great night." Ricky said nicely.

"He can't wait to see you either...It's hard to believe he's almost five...He's growing up so fast...I hope you have a great night too." Amy said sincerely.

"He sure is...I'm so proud of him too...I think we're doing the best we can to raise him." Ricky said honestly.

"So do I...He tells me that he loves you every night before I tuck him in bed." Amy said happily.

"Aww! That's my boy...I mean...our boy..." Ricky said sweetly.

"Heh...Yeah...I'll talk to you later Ricky...And thanks for everything..." Amy said kindly.

"No problem Amy...Talk to you later..." Ricky sighed as he hung up and then he grabbed his golf club and walked up some stairs to find where the next hole was.

Ricky found the next hole and he saw Grace talking on the phone.

"I'm sorry Mom but it's what I want to do." Grace said seriously.

"Oh honey...We already discussed this. George and I thought it would be best for you to stay on campus. Not to move in with Ricky." Kathleen said honestly.

"Well...George and you aren't the boss of me...Legally, I can do anything I want except buy and drink alcohol...Besides...I love Ricky and I want to live with him." Grace said a little irritated.

"That's true Grace but...I just don't know if it's what's best for you and Ricky...No matter what age you are, George and I will always have an opinion on every decision that you make. We love you and we don't want you to get hurt again..." Kathleen said honestly.

"I know that Mom...but Amy lived with Ricky, so why can't I? I'm not a little girl anymore...And I'm not going to get hurt again...I've learned from my mistakes...I hope you have a good night with George...I gotta go...Love you..." Grace said stubbornly and then nicely and she hung up.

"Are you sure about that?" Ricky said worried from behind Grace.

"Uh...What do you mean?" Grace said nervously as she turned around.

"Are you sure that you're not going to get hurt again and that you've learned from your mistakes?" Ricky said seriously as he walked closer to Grace.

"Yes...I'm absolutely sure that I have learned from my mistakes and that I...I'm not going to hurt myself again." Grace said honestly as she looked deeply into Ricky's brown eyes.

"I sure hope so because...I don't want to make the same mistakes with you that I made with Amy..." Ricky said sincerely as he pulled Grace into a hug.

"Thank you Ricky...And I don't want to make the same mistakes with you that I made with Jack..." Grace said truthfully as she rubbed Ricky's back.

"I know you won't...I really trust you Grace..." Ricky said kindly as he let go of her.

"I'm glad you do and I trust you too...I know I was a little rude to my Mom but...I'm old enough to make my own decisions." Grace said sweetly.

"You're right...But I do think you should be grateful that you have your mom and George to help you...They want the best for you...Just like how I want the best for John." Ricky said happily.

"You're right...I am thankful to have them...It's just hard without my Dad sometimes...I want the best for John too...He's such a cute kid." Grace smiled slowly.

"I know...I think you know where he got his looks from...Heh...And I want the best for you too...as well as us..." Ricky said grinning.

"Ha ha...I sure do...I want the best for you and us too...I love you Ricky..." Grace said nicely as she blushed and put her arms around Ricky's neck.

"I love you too Grace..." Ricky said romantically and he leaned in close to Grace's face so he could slowly brush his lips against hers.

They kissed passionately for about five minutes and let go of each other.

"Wow...I think that's the most passionate kiss that you've ever given me." Grace said a little out of breath.

"Heh...I thought you earned it...Let's get back to golfing." Ricky smirked as he pulled his ball out of his pocket.

"Thanks...I think it's my turn." Grace said as she put her ball on the ground.

A couple hours later Grace and Ricky finished golfing and they left the park.

"That was a lot of fun! I'm surprised you beat me." Ricky laughed.

"Heh...Yeah...I am pretty good at golf...What are we going to do now?" Grace asked intrigued.

"I have one more surprise for you...I think you're going to really like it." Ricky said excited as they got in his car.

About fifteen minutes later they arrived at Grant High.

"What are we doing here?" Grace asked confused.

"Heh...You'll see...Just follow me." Ricky said as he ran to the side of the building.

"Ugh...Ricky! I can't run that fast." Grace said as she started to run after him.

Ricky started to climb a ladder that lead to the roof of the school.

"Wow...I didn't know this ladder was here." Grace said as she followed Ricky up the ladder.

"Yeah...It's been here since I was a freshmen in high school...Workers use it all the time when they have to repair the roof...You can get to it from the inside of the school but it's locked." Ricky said as he walked onto the roof.

"Oh...I defiantly wasn't expecting this..." Grace said a little out of breath as Ricky helped her get off the ladder and onto the roof.

"Heh...I thought about taking you to another terrace but I thought a roof is better...Especially Grant High's roof because look at the sky." Ricky said sincerely as he looked up at the sky.

"Oh my...This is beautiful...I've never seen so many stars..." Grace said amazed as her eyes widened.

"I know...I used to come here with my parents and other kids that they took care of when I was in middle school...I remember my Mom telling me that...one day I will be an awesome star who will go on to do great things." Ricky said happily as he sat down with Grace.

"Heh...I think she was right...Did you...ever come here with Clementine?" Grace said sweetly and then seriously.

"Thanks...No I didn't...She got moved around a lot in the foster system...It was really tough for her..." Ricky said sadly.

"I'm sorry...Are you sure that you're not just saying that so I won't get jealous?" Grace said honestly.

"Heh...Of course not...I was never interested in dating Clementine anyway...How could I ever be when I have the woman of my dreams sitting right beside me." Ricky said sweetly as he looked at the stars and then deeply into Grace's beautiful emerald eyes.

"Oh Ricky...You really blew me away tonight...I'm glad that I'm the woman of your dreams and...you're the man of mine." Grace said happily as she moved closer to Ricky.

"I'm glad to hear you say that...Do you want to sleep here tonight?" Ricky asked nicely.

"We can? It's a little cold..." Grace said surprised.

"Yeah...That's why I brought a small foam mattress, pillows, and a blanket." Ricky said as he smiled slowly.

"Ha ha...Very funny...You're joking..." Grace said as she smiled and rolled her eyes.

"All right...You got me...Ha ha...But I do have one more surprise for you." Ricky said seriously.

"Oh really? What's that?" Grace said happily.

Ricky stood up with Grace while he held her hand and he walked her over to a big machine with a black covering over it.

"Uh...What is that?" Grace asked concerned.

"It's Mr. Boykevich's private jet." Ricky said as he took off the black covering.

"Oh my gosh! Ricky! He let you borrow it?" Grace said shocked.

"Yeah...Just for the weekend...Well...He said we could sleep in it if we want...It has heating, a fridge, and even a TV. And we could take it for a ride tomorrow." Ricky said excited.

"Well...That was very kind of him! I would love to sleep in it and go for a ride in it tomorrow. You know how to fly it?" Grace said happily.

"Yes I do. He gave me some lessons last week actually...Let's go on in." Ricky grinned as he took out the keys and unlocked the door.

Both of them walked into the jet and were amazed at how much room they had since it looked smaller from the outside. They found the bed and decided to lay down in it.

"Aaaah...I couldn't have asked for a more perfect night with you..." Grace said sleepily as she cuddled next to Ricky.

"Neither could I...Good night Grace...I love you..." Ricky said as he hugged her tight and closed his eyes.

"I love you too Ricky..." Grace said as she began to fall asleep in Ricky's arms.

Aww! Grace and Ricky are so cute! Since I didn't have many parts with them in the last chapter, I wanted to do a lot with them in this one. Stay tuned to see what happens next with the New York characters in the next chapter! Is Grace still jealous of Grant because he got into Harvard and will Kathleen be able to accept her living with Ricky? What's George going to say about it too? Will Grant and Shawn become more than just friends? Plus, how will Ben feel when he finds out about Leo letting Ricky and Grace use his private jet? Are Grace and Ricky really sure that they aren't going to repeat the same mistakes? Let me know what you think! Thank you! :)
