Meanwhile at the butcher shop...
"What did you have to talk to Amy about earlier?" Ben said intrigued.
"Oh...Just stuff about John." Ricky said nervously.
"Yeah right...What did you have to ask her that was so personal?" Ben said firmly as he crossed his arms.
"Get back to work, Ben." Ricky said a little irritated.
"No...Tell me what you two talked about." Ben said sternly.
"What are you two bickering about this time?" Bunny said seriously as she walked by Ben and Ricky.
"It's nothing...We'll get back to work." Ben said annoyed.
"That wasn't nothing...What's going on?" Bunny said sternly.
"I talked to Amy about some personal stuff earlier and Ben won't shut up about it." Ricky said firmly.
"Oh really? Maybe you should take the rest of the day off if you two can't get along." Bunny said a little irritated.
"No...I need to work today." Ricky said seriously.
"Then get back to work...I don't want to hear you two fighting again...Got it?" Bunny said sternly.
"Yes Bunny...I'm sorry." Ben said nicely and Bunny went back into her office.
"You are such a suck up." Ricky said annoyed as he rolled his eyes.
"Excuse me? You started this mess by talking to Amy about something personal...She didn't tell me about it either." Ben said a little irritated.
"I guess some secrets are meant to stay just between us." Ricky said as he smirked.
"Did you have sex with her recently?" Ben said sternly.
"Of course not! I would never do anything to break you and Amy up." Rickysaid defensively.
"You wouldn't even if she took you back?" Ben said honestly.
"What the hell is wrong with you?! I love Grace! Don't you want to marry Amy?" Ricky said loudly as his face turned red.
"Of course I do...Why won't you tell me what you talked to her about at the hotel?" Ben said angrily as he grabbed Ricky's white apron.
"Get off me!" Ricky said meanly and he pushed Ben on to the ground.
"What is going on in here?" Bunny said surprised.
"I'm taking the rest of the day off...See you guys later." Ben said sadly and he left the butcher shop.
"What did you do?" Bunny said concerned as she faced Ricky.
"I just pushed him cause he grabbed my apron...I'm sure he'll be fine." Ricky said seriously.
"I hope so...Is there something going on with you and Amy?" Bunny said sternly.
"No...We're fine...I just asked her a couple questions." Ricky said honestly.
"You mean personal questions?" Bunny said intrigued.
"Yeah and...that means I'm not going to tell anyone else about them." Ricky said a little irritated.
"Uh huh...Listen kid, almost every conversation you have with someone doesn't always stay just between you and that person...Especially since your friends gossip so much...Good luck...Get back to work." Bunny said nicely.
"That's true...Heh...Thanks Bunny." Ricky said as he smiled.
"I knew I could get you to smile." Bunny said happily and she went back into her office.
Meanwhile at Grace's guest house...
"So then we fell asleep...Are you even listening to me Tom?" Grace said concerned.
"Of course I am...Grace...But I am also watching the game." Tom said seriously.
"Ugh...Forget it...I thought you could help me since you're my older brother...I would talk to Adrian but she's busy with packing...And George and Mom are out." Grace said a little irritated.
"Why don't you talk to your other...friends? Or are...they too busy for you?" Tom said annoyed.
"I'm sure they are...It is Saturday...I just don't know why I keep acting like this around Ricky when we're alone." Grace said honestly.
"I do...It's because you love him...A lot...Like how I love Tammy...Maybe you should...pro...propose to him." Tom said sincerely.
"Uh...I don't know about that, Tom...I think it's a little too soon." Grace said worried.
"Then don't...have sex with him...It's as simple as that...If you really want to...be Christian again." Tom said kindly.
"Yeah but...that's easier said than done." Grace said sadly.
"Don't be sad Grace...God will help you." Tom said nicely and he gave Grace a hug.
"Thanks Tom...I love you." Grace said sweetly as Tom rubbed her back.
"I love you too...Someone's at the door." Tom said happily as he let go of Grace and he opened the door.
"Hey Tom! I got some chicken wings...I was wondering if I could watch the game with you...Like old times?" Jack said excited.
"Sure buddy...Come in." Tom said smiling and he closed the door after Jack walked in.
"Um...Grace?" Jack said surprised as he put the box of chicken wings on the table.
"Hey Jack...What are you doing here?" Grace said a little irritated as Jack sat in a chair.
"I'm going to watch the game with Tom...Is that why you're here?" Jack said confused.
"No...She came over to tell me about Ricky." Tom said seriously as he put a liter of soda and some cups on the table.
"Hey Tom...Can you go see if there are any cookies in your kitchen?" Jack said nicely.
"Sure...I love cookies." Tom said kindly and he left the guest house.
"You can't give my brother commands like that." Grace said sternly.
"I think I just did...Heh...What's going on with you and Ricky?" Jack said as he smiled and then intrigued.
"You're kidding me, right? Why would I tell you what's going on with us?" Grace said stubbornly as she crossed her arms.
"Because I'm your friend and I want to help you." Jack said honestly.
"Do you not remember how rude you were the last time you talked to me?" Grace said firmly.
"I was rude to you because you were rude to me...Why is it that every time we try to be friends, we end up getting in some kind of fight?" Jack said defensively and then annoyed.
"Wow...I can't believe you just said that...Maybe it's because you don't care about anyone except yourself...Let me guess...you only told Chloe that you love her so she'll sleep with you." Grace said sternly.
"You are so full of crap...Acting all nice and humble one minute and then the next minute you judge people without even realizing it...And I really do love Chloe...More than I ever loved you...How about you get out of here and complain to Ricky about your stupid problems so I don't have to hear them...Or better yet...Go back to freaking therapy where you belong with all the other nut jobs." Jack said cruelly as he looked at Grace in the eyes.
"Screw you, Jack! I don't want to see you ever again!" Grace said meanly and she left the guest house and slammed the door.
"Oh God...What have I done? Please forgive me, Lord." Jack said concerned as he put his face in his palms.
"Hey Jack...I got some cookies." Tom said kindly as he walked into the guest house.
"Thanks Tom...Let's watch the game." Jack said smiling and he took a cookie and chicken wing.
"Where's Grace?" Tom said worried.
"She had to leave...These wings are so good." Jack said seriously.
"Yeah they are...Are...you ok?" Tom said concerned.
"Of course I am...Heh...Let's go Lakers!" Jack said as he smiled slowly after eating some of his chicken wing.
A few hours later at Adrian's house...
"I think that's everything...We should be ready to go tomorrow morning." Adrian said sweetly as she zipped a suit case.
"That's great...I smell Mexican downstairs." Omar said as he smiled.
"Yeah...My Mom loves making Mexican...We ate it a lot when I was growing up...It smells so good." Adrian said happily.
"Let's get some." Omar said excited and they went downstairs into the kitchen.
"There you two are...Dinner is ready." Cindy said kindly as she put food on the table.
"Thank you honey...Everything looks amazing." Reuben said nicely.
"You're welcome Reuben...Let's eat." Cindy said sweetly and she started to put food on her plate.
"Thank you for letting us stay here for the past couple weeks." Omar said smiling.
"It was our pleasure, Omar...You two are welcome to stay here any time...We love having you two home...And we're excited to have a grand child soon too!" Reuben said happily.
"Yes...I'm sure he or she will be lovely...Are you going to find out their gender before they're born?" Cindy said intrigued.
"Heh...Mom...We've already discussed this...We want the baby's gender to be a surprise." Adrian said seriously.
"I know Adrian but...I would like to know what it is...For gifts for the baby shower." Cindy said honestly.
"Oh yeah...Can't you just get baby toys? We want it to be a surprise." Adrian said a little irritated.
"Uh...It's really not that big of a deal...Maybe we should find out what it is." Omar said awkwardly.
"No...You said that you wanted to wait until they're born." Adrian said sternly as she looked at Omar.
"Ok...We'll wait...We could have a baby shower after the baby is born." Omar said nicely.
"I think that's a great idea! Everyone will have more time to get the baby gifts." Reuben said happily.
"That's fine with me...I'm sorry for pushing you, honey...I'm just really eager for the baby to get here." Cindy said sincerely.
"We are too...I'm sure they'll love you and Dad." Adrian said sweetly as she smiled.
"And we'll love them very much...I wonder who that is." Reuben said kindly and then surprised as his phone rang.
"Who is it?" Cindy said concerned.
"Hey George...How are you?" Reuben said nicely.
"I'm doing all right...Have you seen Ben? Leo called and he doesn't know where he is...He was supposed to be home from work an hour ago." George said seriously.
"Oh no...I haven't seen Ben...Do you want me to try and find him?" Reuben said concerned.
"Dad...What's going on?" Adrian said worried as she put her taco on her plate.
"I'm at home right now...Leo's looking for him with Amy, Chloe, and a couple cops...I'm sure they'll find him." George said worried.
"I hope so...Let me know if they need help." Reuben said seriously.
"Of course...Bye Reuben." George said kindly and he hung up.
"Is Ben ok?" Adrian said concerned.
"I don't know...Leo, Amy, Chloe, and some cops are looking for him now...Hopefully they'll find him." Reuben said seriously.
"Why would he be missing?" Adrian said intrigued.
"Maybe...Something happened at the butcher shop...Didn't he work with Ricky today?" Omar said worried.
"I think so...Should I call Ricky?" Adrian said as she took her phone out of her pocket.
"No Adrian...If they have cops with them I bet they'll find him." Reuben said sternly.
"You're probably right...Ricky probably doesn't know where he is." Adrian said sadly.
"Hopefully he's all right...I'll do the dishes." Cindy said nicely as she stood up and put her dishes in the sink.
Adrian texted Ricky really quick and she put her dishes in the sink with Omar and Reuben.
Meanwhile in downtown LA...
"I can't believe this...Where could he be? I've called him over thirty times." Amy said concerned.
"It's ok Amy...We'll find him." Leo said calmly.
"I hope so...The city can be very dangerous at night." Chloe said sadly.
"All right...We've detected his phone signal to be on this block." A cop said firmly.
"Let's go find him!" Leo said sternly and the cop pulled over to the side of the road. Everyone got out of the car and walked over by an old building.
"The signal is coming from this building. Let's go!" The other cop said loudly and he opened the door and they went up several flights of stairs until they reached the roof.
"All right...Let's bust open the door!" The cop said firmly and he ran into the door with the other cop and they opened the door.
"Was that necessary?" Leo said a little irritated.
"Yes sir...This door is hard to open normally...I tracked a guy who robbed a bank up here." The cop said seriously and they walked on to the roof.
"Ben! Oh no!" Amy said concerned and she ran over to Ben who was passed out.
"No! Is he all right?" Leo said shocked as he ran over by Ben with Chloe and the cops.
"It looks like he overdosed on some...anti-depressant pills." A cop said seriously as he picked up an empty pill bottle.
"Dammit Ben! I told him to throw those away!" Leo said angrily.
"Come on Ben! Wake up!" Amy said as she started to cry and she put her hands on Ben's shoulders and shaked him.
"Step aside miss...We just called an ambulance...Ben has to get off the roof." A cop said firmly.
"No! He's still breathing! I can hear it! Look at his stomach moving!" Amy said sternly as her eyes widened.
"Oh...Thank God! I think he's going to make it!" Chloe said relieved.
Next Amy leaned in close to Ben and she gave him a short kiss. Ben coughed for a minute and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Aww Ben! You're ok!" Amy said sweetly as she wiped her eyes and she hugged Ben.
"Ugh...What happened?" Ben said weakly as he slowly sat up.
"Did you overdose on these pills, son?" A cop said seriously as he showed Ben the empty pill bottle.
"No...I don't have any of those pills...I...don't even remember how I got up here." Ben said honestly as he stood up.
"Are you all right?" Leo said worried as he hugged Ben.
"Yeah...I'm fine Dad." Ben said nicely as he let go of Leo.
"How did you get up here?" The other cop said worried.
"Well, well, well...Look who's here...It's the sausage king himself." A man with a black mask over his face said as he came out from behind a wall.
"Who are you?" Leo said sternly.
"I'm here to get your money...And you brought a couple cops with you...What an idiot...I gave your son some pills after I captured him at the gas station...And if you don't give me your money, I'll kill all of you." The man said coldly as he took a gun out.
"Put your weapon on the ground." A cop said firmly as he took out a gun.
"Oh geeze...Tim...Is that you?" Chloe said concerned.
"Chloe?" Tim said surprised as he lowered his gun and he put it on the ground.
"You know him?" Leo said concerned.
"Yeah...He used to work for Mickey...And we kind of liked each other." Chloe said sadly.
"Listen punk...You are under arrest...For kid nappping, drug posioning, and for using an unauthorized weapon." A cop said sternly and he put hand cuffs on Tim.
"I am so sorry Chloe...I...love you." Tim said sincerely and the cops took him downstairs.
"Let's get out of here and go home...I'm glad you're all right, son." Leo said relieved and they followed the cops. Everyone got in a cop car and the other cop put Tim in his car.
"Am I crazy or did Tim just say he loves me?" Chloe said surprised.
"You can't be serious...That guy is crazy...He drugged and captured me." Ben said firmly.
"Yeah but...I really did like him." Chloe said sadly.
"And why does that matter? You have Jack now...Tim is a terrible guy." Amy said seriously.
"You're right but...there has to be a reason why he wants to steal money." Chloe said honestly.
"At least he's the cops' problem now...Thank you for saving me." Ben said kindly.
"I would do anything for you Ben...I love you." Amy said sweetly.
"I love you too." Ben said as he smiled and he gave Amy a long kiss.
"I'm glad you're ok too." Chloe said happily.
"Thanks Chloe." Ben said nicely and he gave Chloe a short hug.
Meanwhile at Ricky's apartment...
"Hey Grace...Where were you? I was starting to get worried." Ricky said nicely as Grace walked in the door.
"I went for a walk on the beach...It was nice." Grace said sweetly.
"By yourself? I would have loved to walk with you." Ricky said kindly.
"Thanks but I needed some time alone." Grace said sadly as she sat down at the table.
"Is there something wrong?" Ricky said concerned.
"After I talked to Tom, Jack dropped by and...we got in a big fight." Grace said honestly.
"About what?" Ricky said intrigued.
"It doesn't matter...I'm not going to see him ever again." Grace said seriously.
"Do you want me to talk to him?" Ricky said nicely.
"No...I don't want to talk about it...I need to shower and go to bed." Grace said a little irritated and she stood up.
"Uh...Did you eat?" Ricky said worried.
"Yes I ate." Grace said sweetly and she walked into the bathroom and closed the door.
"What is going on?" Ricky said confused to himself and he pulled out his phone and called Jack.
"Hey Ricky...How are you?" Jack said nicely.
"Don't you hey Ricky me...What did you do to Grace?" Ricky said firmly.
"Um...I didn't do anything." Jack said nervously.
"She said that you two got in a big fight and she doesn't want to see you again...What did you say to her?" Ricky said angrily.
"Calm down...I...told her that she should go back to therapy and she acts nice one minute and then she judges people the next minute...She insulted me too." Jack said seriously.
"You're a real ass...You should never tell someone who's been in therapy to go back to it...It's extremely personal...Bye Jack." Ricky said cruelly and he hung up.
A half an hour later Grace walked out of the bathroom with a towel on.
"So...Jack told me what happened." Ricky said awkwardly.
"You talked to him?" Grace said concerned.
"Yeah...He told you to go back to therapy...He is such a jerk." Ricky said honestly.
"I know...That's why I don't want to see him anymore...He ruined my life." Grace said seriously as Ricky moved closer to her.
"But I've helped make your life better...Right?" Ricky said sincerely as he put his arms around Grace's back.
"Heh...Yes you have." Grace said sweetly as she smiled and put her hands on Ricky's neck.
"I'm glad...And you've made my life better...I promise that I'm not going to let Jack bring us down ever again." Ricky said honestly as he looked deeply into Grace's green eyes.
"Really?" Grace said concerned.
"Really." Ricky said as he smirked and he gave Grace a long and slow kiss.
"Mmm...I...need to get dressed." Grace said kindly as she let go of Ricky.
"Right...Heh...I'll get some whipped cream." Ricky said happily.
"Uh...Whipped cream for what?" Grace said intrigued.
"For ice cream...If you want some...What did you think I was going to get the whipped cream for?" Ricky said smiling.
"Heh...Oh...I don't know." Grace said sarcastically as she smiled and went into the bedroom.
"Ha ha...She's too funny." Ricky said happily and he took out ice cream and whipped cream from the fridge.
After Grace changed into her pink pajamas she called Adrian.
"Hey Grace...I'm about to go to bed...Omar and I have a long flight tomorrow." Adrian said nicely.
"I know...I just wanted to call to tell you that I hope you two have a safe flight tomorrow...And...that I had a pretty rough day but Ricky's helping me feel better." Grace said kindly.
"Thanks...Aww...That's sweet of him...What happened?" Adrian said sweetly and then intrigued.
"Yeah...Jack and I got in a fight but it doesn't matter...We can't be friends anymore." Grace saidhonestly.
"Woah...What? You two got in a fight that bad?" Adrian said shocked.
"We did...He said I should go back to therapy and he loves Chloe more than he ever loved me...And that I judge people." Grace said honestly.
"For crying out loud...You don't have to listen to him, Grace...He's an idiot...Wait...what did you say to him?" Adrian said a little irritated and then concerned.
"I gotta go...Talk to you later Adrian." Grace said happily and she hung up.
"What took you so long? I made us a big banana split that we can share." Ricky said nicely.
"I had to talk to Adrian...She's going back to New York tomorrow." Grace said sweetly as she sat next to Ricky.
"Oh yeah...I hope her and Omar have a safe flight...Do you want me to feed you?" Ricky said kindly as he picked up a spoon.
"Sure...This looks so good." Grace said as she grinned.
Ricky scooped some ice cream and he fed it to Grace.
"How is it?" Ricky said intrigued as he smiled.
"It's delicious...Now it's your turn." Grace said happily and she scooped some ice cream with a piece of banana and she fed it to Ricky.
"Mmm...This is the best banana split." Ricky said as he licked his lips.
"Yeah it is...Give me more." Grace said as she smirked.
"With pleasure." Ricky said kindly and he fed Grace another spoonful of ice cream.
"Yum...I got some on my lip." Grace said smiling.
"Heh...Let me get that." Ricky said nicely and he leaned in close to Grace and gave her a long kiss.
"Ha ha...You did that on purpose." Grace said sweetly.
"No...It was an accident...Ha ha." Ricky said sarcastically as he smiled.
After Grace and Ricky finished their ice cream Ricky pulled out his phone.
"What the...Apparently Ben was missing tonight but he's ok now...Adrian and Amy texted me." Ricky said surprised as he looked at his phone.
"Ben was missing? What happened?" Grace said concerned.
"He was drugged and captured...Some guy wanted to steal Leo's money but they got him." Ricky said seriously as he read a text.
"Wow...That's terrible...I'm glad he's all right." Grace said kindly.
"Me too...Do you want to go to bed?" Ricky said intrigued.
"Yeah...I am pretty tired." Grace said tiredly.
"So am I." Ricky said smiling and he stood up with Grace. They walked into their room and Ricky took his shirt off.
"Woah...Your biceps look...really hot." Grace said surprised as her eyes widened.
"Do they? I did lift some weights earlier." Ricky said nicely as he flexed his arms.
"I like them." Grace said happily as she laid down in bed and Ricky laid down next to her.
"Thanks...I'm trying to get in better shape." Ricky said honestly as he turned his lamp off.
"Better shape for what?" Grace said intrigued as she turned her lamp off.
"For you...You deserve me to be as sexy as possible." Ricky said seriously as he put his arms around Grace's waist while she moved her back against Ricky's body.
"Aww Ricky...That's really sweet but I already think you're sexy." Grace said happily.
"I know but...I can always get hotter." Ricky said seductively.
"Heh...Well...if you want to do that, I don't mind...Because I'll love you regardless of how hot you look." Grace said kindly.
"Thanks...And I'll love you regardless of how beautiful you look...Good night Grace." Rickysaid nicely and he gave Grace a short kiss on the head.
"Good night Ricky." Grace said sleepily and she closed her eyes.
This chapter was pretty intense...Will Ben find out about Amy's conversation with Ricky at the hotel? At least Tom helped Grace feel better about Ricky. Will Grace and Jack be friends again? Will Adrian and Omar have a girl or a boy? At least Ben is ok after getting kid napped. Will Chloe try to help Tim? Ricky helped Grace feel better about Jack but will he get along with him? Will Adrian try to help Grace and Jack be friends again? Stay tuned to find out! Let me know what you think! Thank you! :)
