"Uh...Why are you asking me this? If you want to have sex with Ricky, then just do it already. This constant going back and forth of you wanting to sleep with him and then not wanting to sleep with him is getting old." Adrian said a little irritated.
"Adrian! I can't just do it with him now. I really want to wait this time...But...I have a hard time not thinking about sleeping with him...Can't you just tell me what it was like when you were with him?" Grace said seriously.
"Ok...I don't understand this whole waiting thing...If you're in love with him, then I think you should sleep with him. You slept with other guys that you were in love with, so how is Ricky any different? And I really don't feel comfortable telling you about Ricky...in bed..." Adrian said honestly.
"I want to wait because...God wants me to and...I think it will help Ricky become closer to God too...He's willing to get baptized and if we have sex...then I feel that will hurt our relationship...On the other hand, he did get my engines going the other night...Aaaah...And I'm surprised that you don't want to tell me about Ricky...You have before but...not in much detail." Grace said nicely and then suspiciously.
"Heh...He sure has you whipped all right...I hope you can help Ricky get closer to God cause I really do think that will help your relationship with him...Well...let's just say that...Ricky is very talented at...sex...He was when I was with him anyway...But I'm sure it won't be exactly the same when you sleep with him...Mostly because you two really love each other...We were mostly just in lust with each other when we slept together and it didn't mean much...I honestly think that Ben was better than Ricky...But after I married Omar, I have really enjoyed sex more than ever before...But that's mostly because I can't see myself with anyone else. I love him so much. And that's the thing, Grace. It doesn't matter how good a guy is at sex as long as you love him. There's a reason why it's called making love." Adrian said sincerely as she smiled slowly.
"Wow...It sounds like you've learned a thing or two from being married. I'm sorry about your relationship with Ricky...And I'm really happy for you and Omar...And thanks for your advice Adrian...But...I still don't get why you thought Jack was...timid...Ricky wasn't timid?" Grace asked curiously.
"I sure have learned a lot from being married...Don't worry about my relationship with Ricky...It happened a long time ago and...if it wasn't for him, I don' t think we would be friends. You're welcome for the advice...Uh...Maybe Jack was just really timid with me for some reason...I try not to remember that cause it was just...so wrong...And Ricky was defiantly not timid at all...I really think you're going to enjoy sleeping with him...Whenever that will be." Adrian said kindly.
"I'm glad we are friends Adrian...Even though you did hurt me, I'm glad that we've been able to get through so much crazy stuff together...Sorry for bringing up Jack...I'm sure I will enjoy sleeping with Ricky...Heh..." Grace smiled slowly as her cheeks turned red.
"Yeah...I'm glad we're friends too Grace...And I'll always be here to help you with whatever you need...I can't wait to see you next month too...Speaking of Jack, I saw that you two were...in the school newspaper?" Adrian said happily and then suspiciously.
"Thank you for your help...Uh...How did you know about Jack and me in the school newspaper?" Grace said sweetly and then concerned.
"My email gets links to my old school's newspapers still...I saw it this morning...And you looked like you were about to kiss Jack?" Adrian said seriously.
"Ugh! This wasn't supposed to happen...He was about to kiss me and then...Chloe walked in..." Grace said sadly.
"Oh...Well that's awkward...You don't still have...feelings for Jack?" Adrian said worried.
"Ha...ha...That's so funny I forgot to laugh...Of course I still don't have feelings for Jack! Why do you think I just asked you all questions about Ricky? Jack is the one who can't get over me." Grace said a little irritated.
"Uh hmm...And you were going to let him kiss you? It looks like you were in the picture. You even had your eyes closed. What is going on with you? Oh no...You're not thinking about having sex with Jack because you're not sleeping with Ricky, are you?" Adrian said concerned.
"Aaargh! I was trying to get away from Jack but he wouldn't let me...And I guess...I just got a little caught up in the moment...And don't be ridiculous Adrian...There is no way I'm sleeping with Jack ever again." Grace said stubbornly.
"Well, at least you didn't kiss him...I wonder how Ricky is going to deal with it...I should have known that Jack would be too much for you to handle at the bowling alley...I could talk to Ricky about it, if you want..." Adrian said sadly and then nicely.
"No...I think he needs to hear it from me...He already knows anyway...Jack told me...Ugh...I hope Ricky will forgive me...Why shouldn't he? I forgave him after he had drunk sex with Amy at the club..." Grace said honestly.
"That's true...but didn't you kiss Jack one time here?" Adrian said confused.
"Oh...Yeah I did but...he wanted me to do it so...he could get over me...I guess it didn't work." Grace said sadly.
"No kidding...Hopefully Chloe will help Jack get over you...I need to get going but before I do...Amy and I are on good terms now...We apologized." Adrian said nicely as she started her car.
"Yeah...That's great about you and Amy! How is she doing anyway?" Grace said nicely.
"She's doing fine with Ben. I sort of overreacted to the whole Jimmy thing...I just hope she doesn't cheat on him again." Adrian said awkwardly.
"Hopefully she learned her lesson...Oh and Tom recorded my Mom having dinner with Jeff...with a hidden camera...But Jeff has a fiance so..." Grace trailed off as she walked to the cafeteria.
"I think Amy did learn her lesson...and we're going to try to be friends...Tom has a hidden camera? He never recorded me secretly, did he? That's great about Jeff I guess..." Adrian said worried.
"I'm happy for you and Amy...I have no idea what all Tom has recorded...Ugh...He's always up to something...Jeff's fiance seems nice but...I don't know...I hope he isn't with her to make my Mom jealous." Grace said honestly.
"Thanks...Tom is quite a trouble maker...Ha ha...I doubt Jeff is going to make your mom jealous...She's happy with George, right?" Adrian said seriously as she drove out of the parking lot.
"Heh...Tom sure is a handful...You're probably right about Jeff...I just don't want my Mom to get hurt again...and she is happy with George...I need to get lunch so I'll talk to you later, Adrian...I love you and really appreciate everything that you've done for me." Grace said kindly as she walked into the cafeteria.
"No problem Grace...That's what I'm here for...I love you too and I hope you have a great day...Good luck with Ricky and Jack." Adrian said sweetly.
"Thanks...Bye..." Grace hung up as she waited in line to get her food.
Meanwhile at Ben's and Amy's apartment...
"So...Adrian and I finally made up." Amy said nicely as she sat at the kitchen table.
"Oh really? I'm really glad to hear that Amy." Ben said sweetly.
"Yeah we did...We had lunch and talked...It turns out that we actually have more in common than I thought..." Amy said seriously.
"What do you two have in common?" Ben asked surprised.
"Well...we've both been involved with you and Ricky...We also first had sex around the same age...which is pretty crazy...And we both were pregnant as teenagers...Even my Dad was involved with her mom for a short time..." Amy said honestly.
"Oh right...That was pretty crazy...I'm glad you two are working things out...But...after you left I talked to my Dad..." Ben said awkwardly.
"Yeah...How is the sausage king?" Amy asked intrigued.
"Heh...He's doing all right...I think he's a little disappointed that we're thinking about...having sex again..." Ben said nervously.
"What? Ben! Why would you tell him that?!" Amy said a little irritated.
"He's my Dad, Amy...I want to have an honest relationship with him...I haven't always had one since I used to be...jealous of how much attention that he gave Ricky...Ugh...I still can't believe he lets him live in the apartment over the butcher shop." Ben said stubbornly.
"You need to get over that...Ricky wanted to live there so you should just let it go...And I'm glad that you want to have an open relationship with your dad, but you really don't need to tell him everything about us." Amy said seriously.
"I know...I just feel like I'm second place when it comes to my Dad...Ever since my Mom died, it seems like he cares about other people more than me...I'm not even John's father and I treat him like my own son better than how my Dad treats me!" Ben said angrily.
"I am so sorry that you feel that way Ben...But I think Leo has treated you very well...When you think about Ricky's childhood, it makes your own sound a whole lot better...And I truly appreciate how much you love John...But sooner or later he's going to be back with Ricky since he is his dad..." Amy said sincerely.
"Thank you Amy...I'm sorry for getting upset...I guess you're right about my childhood...Sometimes, I forgot how good my life was growing up...And it got a whole lot better after I met you." Ben smiled slowly as he walked over to Amy.
"Mmm...You're welcome. My life got better after I met you too...I know we've had a lot of ups and downs but...I'm really happy to be with you Ben...And you're kind of hot when you're all wound up..." Amy said sweetly as she put her arms around Ben's neck.
"Heh...If you're trying to seduce me, it's working." Ben smirked and he gave Amy a long kiss.
Meanwhile at the butcher shop...
"Oh man...I can't believe that stupid Chase guy..." Ethan said irritated as he wrapped a gift basket.
"Ugh...What happened this time Ethan?" Ricky rolled his eyes as he walked over to Ethan.
"All right...So I think Kathy slept with him. He said that they didn't, but I doubt it. She really likes him. I can tell." Ethan said stubbornly as he crossed his arms.
"Uh...When would they have slept together? I thought Kathy went bowling last night with friends..." Ricky said confused.
"So did I but she also went to a party last night with Chase...I am so disappointed in her...I think we should break up..." Ethan said seriously.
"Are you sure that they had sex? If Chase told you they didn't, then I'm sure they didn't. Guys usually like to brag whenever they have sex." Ricky said concerned.
"I don't know...Maybe you're right Ricky...I just wish Kathy would tell me the truth about how she really feels about me..." Ethan said honestly.
"Yeah...I sure know how you feel right now..." Ricky said sadly.
"What are you talking about? Did something happen with Grace?" Ethan asked intrigued.
"It's nothing...We need to get back to work before Bunny yells at us..." Ricky said calmly and he walked back over to the cash register.
A few minutes Leo walked in with Joe.
"Good afternoon Ricky...You remember Joe, right?" Leo said nicely.
"Uh...Yeah...So he's finally out of jail huh?" Ricky said surprised.
"Yes he is...He's going to do some community service for us for...selling crack." Leo said honestly.
"Oh...All right...You want me to keep an eye on him?" Ricky said calmly.
"I would really appreciate that...I already told him what he has to do...You should get started Joe.." Leo said nicely as he looked at Ricky and then Joe. He nodded and walked over to the meat locker.
"So how long does he have to work here?" Ricky asked intrigued.
"Just for thirty days...And if actually does well, I might give him a job...It's better than him going back on the streets...And can I ask you a personal question?" Leo said quietly.
"That's true...You can ask me anything, sir..." Ricky said nicely.
"Did you sleep with Grace in my private jet?" Leo said seriously.
"No. I would never do that Leo...I thought that you trust me." Ricky said honestly.
"I do trust you Ricky...It's just Ben assumed that you would do that with Grace in my jet...I'm sorry." Leo said kindly.
"Ugh...Of course Ben always jumps to conclusions...Don't worry about it Leo...I need to get back to filling in these orders." Ricky said a little irritated.
"You're right about Ben...He sure can be a handful sometimes...Keep up the good work...I'll see ya later to get Joe...He's living with his parents for now." Leo said calmly and he left the butcher shop.
Meanwhile at Adrian's and Omar's house...
"How was work today?" Adrian asked sweetly as she turned on the oven.
"It was really great...I got a lot done so I think I'll get done early tomorrow...Mmm...What are you going to cook?" Omar asked happily.
"That's good...Roast, potatoes, and carrots...It's one of my favorite meals." Adrian said kindly.
"Me too...I really appreciate you cooking this week Adrian...Before you know it, I'll have to always cook for you when you get more pregnant. How was the doctor?" Omar said as he smiled slowly.
"It's always a pleasure to cook for you...We can go out some when I get heavier too if you don't want to cook all the time for me...Heh...The doctor was really great...She said the heart is developing well." Adrian said kindly as she put the roast in the oven.
"Eating out is more expensive but...I would be happy to take you anywhere you want...I'm glad that the heart is developing! That's just amazing how babies develop." Omar said happily as he gave Adrian a hug from behind her.
"Thanks...It sure is...I love how we created our baby too..." Adrian smirked as she turned around and gave Omar a short kiss.
"Ha ha...Yeah...That is a lot of fun but you know...after you have the baby we aren't going to have as much time...to do that..." Omar said seriously.
"I know...That's why I want to enjoy it as much as we can now..." Adrian said kindly as she turned back around and put the potatoes and carrots in a pot.
"Me too...Did you see Amy today?" Omar asked concerned.
"Yeah I did...We apologized and are getting along better now...I just hope she'll be all right with Ben. But I'm actually more worried about Grace." Adrian said seriously.
"Oh...I'm really proud of you for making up with Amy...What's going on with Grace?" Omar asked surprised.
"She's been feeling...pretty conflicted about having sex with Ricky...She even asked me what it was like with him..." Adrian said honestly.
"Wow...I thought she was a...Christian...Isn't she?" Omar said shocked as his eyes widened.
"She is and...she wants Ricky to get baptized but...I think she's having a hard time deciding when to sleep with him...She also almost kissed Jack." Adrian said seriously as she turned back around to face Omar.
"Grace almost kissed Jack? Why would she do that?" Omar said confused.
"Yup...Well, he actually almost kissed her but then Chloe interfered...She's Jack's new girlfriend...I don't know what I'm gonna do with that girl...She's always been all over the place when it comes to guys..." Adrian said calmly as she looked at Omar.
"Hmm...It sounds to me like Jack needs to spend more time with Chloe so that he can get over Grace..." Omar said nicely.
"That's what I said...I'm sure they'll be fine...But I do feel bad for Ricky...Hopefully he'll forgive her and Jack..." Adrian said sincerely.
"I'm sure he will...Ricky's a nice guy and he's been through a lot with Grace...He would be crazy to not forgive them. I'm glad that you're helping your friends, Adrian. It's defiantly one of the sexiest qualities that I love about you." Omar said happily as he moved closer to Adrian.
"Yeah...I try...And one of your sexiest qualities is comforting me...I love you." Adrian said sweetly and she gave Omar a long kiss.
Later that night at Ricky's apartment...
Ricky was working on homework when Grace walked in.
"Hey Grace...Where have you been all night?" Ricky asked concerned.
"Uh...I was shopping for you...I got you something..." Grace said nervously as she walked over to the table with a present.
"You got me something? Why?" Ricky asked intrigued.
"Heh...You can stop being clueless Ricky...Jack told me that you know about...our picture in the newspaper..." Grace said awkwardly.
"Yeah I do. You want to tell me what happened with you and him last night?" Ricky said a little irritated.
Grace sighed as she sat down and she put the present on the table.
"All right...Jack wanted me to forgive him for trying to get you to cheat on me and...for trying to make a move on me a while ago..." Grace said calmly.
"Ok...Go on..." Ricky said intrigued.
"So...I refused to forgive him...He tried to pull a move on me again...and I tried to get away from him but he didn't let me...And then he tried to kiss me but...Chloe walked in." Grace said honestly.
"Why didn't you just forgive him? Then you two probably wouldn't be in the school newspaper! You also had your eyes closed in the picture...Did you...want to kiss Jack?" Ricky said intensely as his face turned red.
"How could I forgive him if he's not over me?! And I did not want to kiss him! I just...closed my eyes because...I...I thought that if he kissed me again, then he would leave me alone." Grace said stubbornly and then sadly.
"God...I can't believe this...He is a real asshole...You should have just slapped him in the face. I almost hit him earlier..." Ricky said cruelly.
"Tell me about it...Hopefully Chloe can help him get over me...I swear that I did not want to kiss him...And if he does try to do this again, I will slap him in the face. I don't know what else I can do to help him learn his lesson..." Grace said seriously.
"All right...I believe that you didn't want to kiss him...How could I be angry with you after everything that you've done for me...And I think you should forgive Jack...Maybe that's all he needs to stop messing with you." Ricky said sincerely as he smiled slowly.
"Thanks Ricky...I'll try to forgive him...again...Ugh...But if he does something like this again, he won't be playing football anymore." Grace said honestly.
"You're welcome Grace...What do you mean he won't be playing football anymore?" Ricky asked surprised.
"I warned him before that if he interfered with our relationship, then I would tell his coach about him paying Clementine..." Grace said a little irritated.
"Oh man...That's actually not a bad idea...I could do that, if you want." Ricky said as he smiled slowly.
"Heh...That is a little harsh though...Jack loves football and...I don't think it would be fair to do that..." Grace said sweetly.
"Really? After all the bull crap that he put us through, you don't think that he doesn't deserve to do something that he enjoys?" Ricky said sternly.
"I thought you wanted me to forgive him...Let's just start with that." Grace said honestly.
"You're right...That's probably a better idea...So what did you get me?" Ricky said calmly.
"Oh...It's just a little something to apologize for what happened last night..." Grace smiled slowly as Ricky moved his present closer to him.
Ricky opened up the box and he saw a teddy bear with a heart on it that said I love you.
"Aww! You're so sweet Grace. I love it!" Ricky said happily as he took the teddy bear out of the box.
"Heh...You're welcome Ricky...I thought John would like it too...There's also a little something else under the paper in the box." Grace said kindly as she smirked.
Ricky put the teddy bear on the floor and lifted up the paper and saw red lingerie and blue underwear that looked similar to a speedo.
"Woah...I really like this...Is this for me or you?" Ricky said surprised and smiled as he pulled out the lingerie.
"Um...That's for me and the underwear is for you...Ha ha...I thought we could wear them the first time we...you know..." Grace said seductively as she smiled.
"Mmm...I would like that a lot...I love you so much." Ricky said happily and he walked over to Grace as she stood up. Next Ricky slowly moved Grace's hair out of her face and gave her a long kiss as she put her hands on Ricky's neck.
"Aaaah...I love you too...I have some homework to do..." Grace said sweetly as she licked her lips.
"Yeah...I need to finish mine...Since tomorrow's Friday, do you want to go out?" Ricky said kindly as she grinned.
"I would love to. Thank you for everything Ricky." Grace said happily as she hugged Ricky.
"It's always my pleasure Grace..." Ricky said sweetly and he gave Grace a kiss on the head.
Hmm...Sounds like Grace and Ricky are getting even closer...Or are they just getting more infatuated with each other? Will Grace forgive Jack? Will she also listen to Adrian's advice? Did Tom secretly film Adrian? How is everything going to go when Grace's family meet Jeff's fiance, Nancy? Will Ben be more honest with Leo? And are Amy and Ben going too far? Is Ethan going to break up with Kathy? How is Joe going to do with his community service at the butcher shop? At least Omar and Adrian are pretty happy together too but there will be a big surprise coming up with them. Ha ha! Let me know what you think! Thank you! :)
