"Oh my..." Grace's eyes widened as she took out a letter from the envelope with a small rose taped to the back of it. Grace started to read the letter after she took the rose off of the letter and it said:
Dear Grace,
I must start by saying that I am truly sorry for all of the cruel things that I've said to you lately. I honestly did not mean them and I hope you realize that. However, you did say some mean things to me and I was defending myself. Or I thought I was when you said those things to me. It doesn't matter. I just hope that you can find the strength to forgive me and to apologize for what you said to me. Even if we can't be friends, I hope that we can at least get along again. I really love Chloe and I want to be with her for a long time. Maybe the rest of my life. God only knows how long I'll stay with her. I really hope that you are happy with Ricky. You should be right? If you really care about him and not just yourself. That's something that I learned from you and I'll never forget it. In order to have a meaningful and honest relationship, you have to put the other person before yourself. Just let me know if you want to talk.
Sincerely,
Jack
P.S. The rose and letter were Adrian's idea. I hope you had a great Valentine's Day.
"I can't believe this...There's no way Jack wrote this...He has to be pulling a prank on me or something." Grace said quietly to herself and she put the letter in her purse and walked out of the building.
"Hey Grace." Ricky said kindly.
"Ricky? What are you doing here?" Grace said surprised.
"I thought we could get lunch...I'm done with my classes and Ethan is going to work for me later." Ricky said smiling.
"Oh...I would love to get lunch! I have class at two though." Grace said sweetly.
"I know...But you could skip it." Ricky said seriously.
"Why? Lunch shouldn't take us that long." Grace said concerned.
"Yeah but I thought we could eat lunch on the beach and go for a walk." Ricky said happily.
"Aww...I would love that...I'll have to email my professor that I had some personal stuff to take care of." Grace said nicely as she smiled.
"All right...Let's go." Ricky said excited and they got in Ricky's car.
Twenty minutes later at the beach...
"Mmm...This barbecue is amazing." Grace said smiling as she wiped her mouth with a napkin.
"Yeah it is...How was your class?" Ricky said intrigued as he wiped his mouth.
"It was all right...Literature isn't one of my favorite classes...How were your classes?" Grace said kindly.
"They were pretty good...Do you want more potato salad?" Ricky said intrigued.
"No...It was very good." Grace said as she looked at the sand.
"Is there something wrong?" Ricky said concerned as he put the potato salad in a bag with the bones from the barbecue.
"Chloe gave me a letter from Jack...But I don't know if he wrote it." Grace said sadly as she pulled out the letter from her purse.
"Jack wrote you a letter?" Ricky said surprised and Grace gave him the letter.
"It doesn't seem like Jack to write me a letter." Grace said worried as Ricky put the letter on the ground.
"Yeah but maybe he wrote it...Adrian gave him the idea which doesn't surprise me...Whether he wrote it or not, you need to apologize to him." Ricky said a little irritated.
"You really think I should apologize to him when he doesn't have the guts to apologize to me in person?" Grace said sternly.
"Yes I do...Don't you have the strength to do that?" Ricky said firmly.
"You're right, Ricky...I need to be the bigger person and apologize to Jack...What have I been doing?" Grace said honestly.
"Finally...Thank God! So you're going to do it?" Ricky said happily.
"Yes I am...Tonight...I'm really sorry for hurting you because of my selfish behavior." Grace said seriously.
"Thanks Grace...Everything is going to be fine." Ricky said kindly and he hugged Grace.
"Not as fine as you...Heh." Grace said as she smirked after she let go of Ricky.
"Ha ha...Very funny...Let's walk." Ricky said as he smiled and stood up with Grace.
"It's really nice being here without anyone else." Grace said sweetly as Ricky grabbed her hand.
"Yeah...I wish we could do this everyday." Ricky said happily as they started walking.
"The beach would get old if we came here everyday." Grace said concerned.
"Nothing will get old as long as I'm with you." Ricky said honestly as he looked at Grace deeply in the eyes after they stopped walking.
"Aww...Do you really mean that?" Grace said sweetly as she blushed.
"Cross my heart...I love you so much." Ricky said happily as he put his hands around Grace's waist.
"I love you too." Grace said happily and Ricky gave her a long kiss as she put her hands on Ricky's chest.
"Mmm...Do you want to keep walking?" Ricky said intrigued as he smirked.
"Sure...It's not too cold." Grace said smiling.
Grace and Ricky walked farther down the beach and they saw Chloe with Grant.
"What is she doing with him?" Grace said surprised.
"It looks like they're just talking...Let's start heading back to our stuff." Ricky said nicely and he turned around with Grace.
"I sure hope they're just talking...If Jack becomes single again..." Grace said worried as they started walking away from Chloe and Grant.
"Let it go...Whatever they're doing here is none of our business." Ricky said seriously.
Ricky and Grace walked back to where their stuff was and they sat on their towels.
"Did you bring anything for desert?" Grace said intrigued.
"No I didn't...Unless you count this." Ricky said as he smiled and he gave Grace a long kiss.
"Heh...Sure." Grace said sweetly and Ricky kissed her again.
"Mmm...Do you want to get some real desert?" Ricky said kindly after he licked his lips.
"I thought you were real desert...Ha ha." Grace said as she smiled.
"Ha ha...So I'm just some eye candy to you?" Ricky said sarcastically.
"You are very sweet and delicious like candy." Grace said as she smirked.
"Heh...You are too...I'll take you to the candy shop...I'll let you lick the lollipop." Ricky said happily as he grinned.
"Oh my gosh...Are you singing a rap song? Ha ha ha." Grace said surprised as she laughed.
"Yeah...That's classic 50 Cent right there...It just popped into my head since we're comparing each other to candy." Ricky said nicely.
"That's funny...If you do want to get desert, that's fine with me." Grace said sweetly.
"All right...I think there's a funnel cake place that's not too far from here." Ricky said kindly as he stood up with Grace.
Meanwhile in Las Vegas...
"Whew...I can't believe we just did it again." Ben said out of breath as he laid down next to Amy.
"Yeah...I was really turned up when I woke up." Amy said nicely after she took a deep breath.
"Me too...We could stay in bed all day...If you want." Ben said as he smirked and he put an arm around Amy.
"Heh...That's really tempting Ben but I want to see more of Vegas." Amy said happily.
"Sounds good...Do you to order room service first?" Ben said kindly.
"I would love to but we should probably get dressed first." Amy said sweetly.
"Heh...Of course...But I need a few minutes." Ben said as he smiled.
"Did I wear you out?" Amy said concerned.
"Uh...Of course not...We were up pretty late last night." Ben said awkwardly.
"Ha ha...Yeah we were...And you don't have to act all tough." Amy said as she smirked.
"Heh...Thanks Amy...Where's my shirt?" Ben said kindly as he sat up.
"Over here...I think all my clothes are on your side." Amy said smiling as she grabbed Ben's shirt from the floor.
After Ben and Amy got dressed they ordered room service.
"Mmm...This chicken is amazing." Amy said happily after she ate some of her chicken.
"Yeah it is...I guess we'll have a late dinner since we're having a late lunch." Ben said nicely.
"That sounds good to me...Thanks for an amazing honeymoon, Ben." Amy said sweetly.
"You're welcome, Amy but it's not over yet...We're going back tomorrow." Ben said kindly.
"I know...I wish we didn't have to go...But it will be summer soon." Amy said honestly.
"Yeah...You're going to love Italy! It's so beautiful there and the people are very friendly." Ben said smiling.
"I know that I'll love it because I'll be with you." Amy said happily.
"And I'll be with you...No matter what because I love you." Ben said seriously as he looked deeply into Amy's eyes.
"I love you too." Amy said as she smiled and Ben gave her a long kiss.
Thirty minutes later Amy and Ben were walking around in downtown Las Vegas.
"Oooh Ben! Look at that fountain! Let's take a picture by it!" Amy said happily as she walked by a huge fountain that had a lot of water spraying out of it.
"All right...Say cheese." Ben said nicely as he pulled out his phone and he took a picture of him and Amy smiling by the fountain.
"Let's go look for a show!" Amy said excited as she grabbed Ben's hand and they walked away from the fountain.
As Amy and Ben walked on a sidewalk they bumped into Thomas.
"I'm sorry...Wait...Are you Thomas?" Amy said intrigued.
"You're fine...Yes I am...How do you know that?" Thomas said surprised.
"Because you were friends with my sister...Ashley Jergens...I'm Amy." Amy said sweetly.
"Oh yeah! I remember you now...You had a baby right?" Thomas said kindly.
"Yes I did...This is my husband Ben...We're on our honeymoon." Amy said smiling.
"Wow...Congratulations! It's nice to meet you Ben." Thomas said nicely as he put his hand out.
"You too, Thomas...And thank you...What are you doing here in Vegas?" Ben said happily.
"I'm working here with my uncle actually...I'm going to go to college in the fall...I needed some time off from graduating high school to figure out where I wanted to go to college and I got a job here so I'm going to the University of Nevada." Thomas said kindly.
"Good for you...Las Vegas is an amazing city." Ben said smiling.
"I know right? It's too bad the university isn't actually in the city but it will be a lot of fun...How's Ashley these days?" Thomas said nicely.
"She's doing really well...Studying in Florida to be a chef...And she's with Toby...I don't know if you ever met him." Amy said honestly.
"Um...I don't think I did...But I'm glad she's doing well...What about you two?" Thomas said intrigued.
"We go to school at Hudson in New York...It's really amazing." Ben said kindly.
"That's awesome! I gotta get going to work so I hope you too enjoy the rest of your honeymoon! By the way, you should tell Ashley to check out Vegas sometime...I'm sure she'll love it and there are a lot of restaurants that she could work at someday...I also ran into some kid named Jacob a couple months ago or something...He said that he knew you two I think...But then he had to go back to Africa...See ya later." Thomas said excited and then seriously and he walked away from Ben and Amy.
"Jacob? Who is he talking about?" Amy said confused.
"He must be talking about Grace's half brother." Ben said concerned.
"Oh right...I wonder what he was doing here...Hmm...I guess we can tell Grace later...Let's go to that lion and tiger show over there!" Amy said intrigued and then happily as she grabbed Ben's hand and they walked over to where the show was.
Meanwhile in New York...
Adrian walked into her house and her phone rang.
"Hello?" Adrian said intrigued as she answered her phone.
"Hey Adrian! It's Casey...How are you?" Casey said sweetly.
"I'm doing all right...What do you want?" Adrian said a little irritated.
"Are you ok?" Casey said concerned.
"You're really going to play that game with me? Why did you tell Omar that you had a crush on him?" Adrian said sternly.
"I was just being nice...We're friends anyway and I'm sorry if that bothered you." Casey said sincerely.
"Thanks...Please don't ever say anything like that to my husband again." Adrian said honestly.
"No problem...I called to offer you an intern job this summer in LA." Casey said nicely.
"In LA? But Omar works here." Adrian said concerned.
"Take it or leave it, Adrian...There are other people who will take the job if you don't want it...I have a lot of work to do so...what do you say?" Casey said seriously.
"I'll take it...Thank you Casey...Have a nice day." Adrian said kindly.
"You're welcome...I'll email you all the paperwork in May...Talk to you later." Casey said happily and she hung up.
"I can't believe this...I can't just leave Omar for this intern job...Plus the baby is due in June...Ugh...Maybe I should get a different job." Adrian said worried to herself as she threw her phone on the table.
A few minutes later the doorbell rang and Adrian opened the door.
"Hey Adrian...Can I come in?" Max said nicely.
"Max...What a pleasant surprise...Come in." Adrian said nicely and they walked into the living room.
"What are you doing here?" Adrian said intrigued as they sat on the couch.
"I have some sad news...Shawna's brother got hurt pretty badly and she flew to California a few hours ago." Max said seriously.
"Oh no...What happened?" Adrian said surprised.
"He got in a gang fight...Hopefully he'll be all right...I would have went if it wasn't for work." Max said sadly.
"I'm so sorry...Is that why you're here?" Adrian said sincerely.
"Me too...Duncan's a good kid...I'm here to ask you for a favor." Max said honestly.
"What kind of favor?" Adrian said worried.
"Could you go to this dinner party with me?" Max said intrigued.
"A dinner party for what?" Adrian said surprised.
"For work...Omar can come too...They're going to have amazing food." Max said nicely.
"That sounds like fun...Omar will probably want to go...But why do you want us to go?" Adrian said concerned.
"We're friends and my boss said that we could invite some friends to it...Here's an invitation." Max said kindly as he gave Adrian an invitation.
"Thanks...Where are you working?" Adrian said sweetly.
"I work at Hudson...I got that security job." Max said honestly.
"That's amazing! Do you like it?" Adrian said smiling.
"Yeah I do...It's pretty easy...I mostly watch security cameras...How have you been?" Max said happily.
"That's great...I've been doing all right...Amy and Ben got married on Valentine's Day...It was really fun." Adrian said kindly.
"I bet it was...Weddings are pretty exciting...That's great they're married." Max said nicely.
"I'm really proud of them...Do you think you'll marry Shawna?" Adrian said intrigued.
"Maybe...I love her but...I just don't think now's the best time to get engaged." Max said seriously.
"Obviously...I should probably get dinner started...You can stay if you want." Adrian said happily.
"Thanks but I'm going to meet a friend for dinner...I'll see you later." Max said smiling and he left.
Meanwhile at the butcher shop...
"So Ricky never told you why he didn't come in today?" Ethan said intrigued.
"Nope...But if I had to guess it must have something to do with Grace." Bunny said seriously.
"Yeah...I guess we'll have to wait until he comes back." Ethan said smiling.
"Yeah...Are you still with Kathy?" Bunny said nicely.
"Of course I am...Why?" Ethan said intrigued.
"I'm just wondering...Calm down, kid...Did you two have a nice Valentine's Day?" Bunny said seriously.
"We did...Thanks for asking...Did you?" Ethan said smiling.
"Yes I did...My husband and I had a very nice and romantic dinner...Break time's over so get back to work." Bunny said smiling and then firmly.
"All right...I'm going to the gift baskets." Ethan said a little irritated.
"At least you're getting paid...Don't bite the hand that feeds you." Bunny said honestly.
A few minutes later Chase walked in.
"Hey tool bag...Can I get a gift basket? It's for my Mom's birthday." Chase said happily.
"What did you just call me?" Ethan said sternly.
"Are you going to stand there or are you going to give me a basket?" Chase said annoyed.
"Whatever...Just take it." Ethan said a little irritated as he gave Chase a gift basket.
"Thank you...See ya later." Chase said nicely and he paid Bunny for the basket and left.
A few hours later at Grant High...
Grace walked into the school and she walked by her old locker.
"Oh my gosh...It feels like it's been forever since I've been here." Grace said quietly to herself as she smiled. She heard a door close and turned around to see Jack walking towards her.
"Hey Grace...I got your text...Why did you want to come here?" Jack said intrigued.
"Before I tell you, I think I owe you a huge apology...I am truly sorry for all of the terrible things that I've said to you lately...You don't deserve that Jack...Thank you for the letter and rose...That was really sweet...And Chloe's a lucky girl to have you." Grace said sincerely.
"Thank you Grace...I forgive you and you're welcome for the letter...But do you really mean it?" Jack said kindly and then concerned.
"I do really mean it...That's why I brought you here...We first became friends in this hallway...Remember?" Grace said sweetly.
"Heh...Yeah I do...I remember telling you about my Dad and the church...That feels like a long time ago, doesn't it?" Jack said as he smiled.
"Yeah it does...What happened to us? We used to get along pretty well when we hardly knew each other." Grace said nicely as they started to walk down the hallway.
"Maybe we got to know each other a little too well...Ha ha...I think sex did hurt us...Now that I think about it, I think we would have been better off without it." Jack said honestly.
"Me too but...it wasn't just the sex that hurt us...It was the lies and cheating that ruined our chances of staying together...And the jealousy too...That got a little out of hand." Grace said seriously.
"Ha ha...That's true but we were so immature in high school...We didn't know what we were doing...God knows that I still question my life." Jack said honestly.
"What do you mean by that?" Grace said surprised as they stopped walking.
"I mean...I wonder if I should be a minister...I'm good at sports so I don't know if I should be a professional athlete...And I also wonder why I couldn't treat you how you deserve to be treated...Besides the fact that I was a selfish jerk." Jack said sadly.
"Aww Jack...I can't tell you what career path to follow...Only God can help you figure that out...Playing a sport for a living can be very competitive and it might be hard for you to have a family with that kind of career...But if you think that's where God wants you to be, then go for it...And you're not a selfish jerk...I think you were just confused about what you wanted in a relationship...I was too." Grace said sincerely.
"No kidding...And thanks for your advice...That's one thing that I loved about you...Every now and then you do give good advice...But aren't you afraid of what the future could bring? Med school is going to be tough and what if things don't work out with Ricky?" Jack said kindly.
"Heh...Thanks...I love to help when I can...Sometimes I'm afraid of the future...I know med school is going to be hard but I have to get my bachelor's first...I'm pretty sure things will work out with Ricky...After everything we've been through, I know that he won't leave me." Grace said honestly.
"No problem...I'm sure you'll be an amazing doctor someday...You're really smart and you have the drive and determination to be one...And I hope that you and Ricky work out...You two deserve each other." Jack said nicely.
"That means a lot to me, Jack...Thank you...I wish you and Chloe the best too...She's an amazing girl." Grace said kindly.
"You're welcome, Grace...Chloe is an amazing girl...I just hope that she isn't into Grant." Jack said concerned as they walked into the gym.
"I doubt it...She was probably just being friendly...That's the kind of girl she is." Grace said honestly.
"Right...Just like when I was being friendly with your cousin...Heh...Man...I miss this gym...I had a lot of fun at the basketball games and I did weight training in here for football." Jack said smiling.
"Ha ha...Yeah...I had a lot of fun cheering in here...And dancing." Grace said sweetly.
"Oh yeah...The school dances were pretty fun...Can I ask you a personal question?" Jack said intrigued as they sat on the bleachers.
"Sure...What is it?" Grace said nervously.
"Why did you...kiss Adrian? I know that I was a pig and turned on by it a little bit...but...I've been dying to know why you did it...Back when we first met, I never thought you would do that." Jack said seriously.
"Oh...That is pretty personal...Um...I'm surprised that I did it too...But I did it because I was curious and I wanted to know what it was like to kiss a girl...After we did it, I was grossed out and there's no way I could ever do it again...I am straight and I always will be." Grace said awkwardly and then nicely.
"Gotcha...I thought you were curious...Heh...I'm glad you're straight because you're too hot to not be straight." Jack said as he smirked.
"Jack! Are you insulting gay people?" Grace said shocked and she slapped Jack on the arm.
"Ow! No I'm not! I was just complimenting you...I'm sorry...That came out wrong." Jack said sincerely as he rubbed his arm.
"That did not hurt...I barely slapped you...Wait...did you just come here to hit on me?" Grace said a little irritated.
"Uh...Of course not...I came here to forgive you." Jack said concerned.
"Ha ha! I can't believe you fell for that! You still love me, don't you?" Grace said sweetly as she smiled.
"Heh...You really want to play that game? I love you as a friend...But did you want me to hit on you?" Jack said intrigued as he smiled.
"Eww...No...Why would I want a totally hot college football player and wrestler hitting on me who was my ex fiance?" Grace said sarcastically in a girly tone.
"Ha ha ha...I think Ricky's helped you get funnier." Jack said as he laughed.
"Excuse me? I've always been really funny...You just don't get my jokes." Grace said nicely as she smiled.
"Heh...Whatever you say...I should probably get going...I have some homework to finish." Jack said kindly as he stood up.
"I do too...And we probably shouldn't be here alone at night." Grace said concerned.
"What's the matter? Are you afraid to be here with me?" Jack said seriously.
"No...There could be a creapy janitor here or something...Let's go." Grace said worried and she headed towards the door.
"Ha ha...That's a good one." Jack said as he smiled and he walked out the door behind Grace.
Meanwhile at Berkley...
"Were are you going?" Madison said intrigued as Lauren put her make up away.
"I'm going out with Dante...What about you?" Lauren said sweetly.
"I have some studying to do for bio but I want to go out...It's just...I don't want to go with Jason." Madison said seriously.
"What did he do now?" Lauren said a little irritated.
"Nothing...He's just a little too smart for me." Madison said worried.
"Ha ha ha ha!" Lauren chuckled and Madison gave her an annoyed look.
"Oh...You're serious." Lauren said surprised.
"Yes I am...What should I do?" Madison said intrigued.
"Well...You could dump him, stay with him and accept his nerdiness, find someone else, or stay single for awhile...That might do you some good." Lauren said honestly.
"Hmm...I guess you're right...I'll have to think about it...Thanks Lauren...Have fun with Dante." Madison said sweetly.
"No problem...See ya later." Lauren said kindly and she went out of their dorm room.
"Ugh...Maybe I should ask Amy...But it's her honeymoon...But...I need to study...Or I could go to that party on Greek row." Madison said seriously and then happily to herself.
Forty five minutes later Madison arrived at a party at a fraternity.
She walked into the house and saw a lot of people dancing.
"Hey girl...What's your name?" Beaver said happily from behind Madison.
"Hey...I'm Madison...Do you know if a guy named Jesse is here?" Madison said concerned.
"I don't know...I just go to parties here for the alcohol...I graduated college in Ohio." Beaver said seriously.
"Oh...Thanks anyway...I'll find him." Madison said a little irritated and she walked upstairs. She walked by a room with the door cracked and she saw Jesse kissing Dylan.
"Holy...What happened to Haley?" Madison said shocked to herself.
"So...Do you wanna make out or what?" Beaver said intrigued from behind Madison.
"Eww! No...How old are you? Thirty?" Madison said in a disgusted tone and she walked downstairs.
"What's up Beav?" Cappie said happily as he walked by Beaver.
"That chick didn't want to make out with me...I guess she's too young for me." Beaver said sadly.
"It's ok...You'll find someone else...There are a lot of girls here...Casey is in the bathroom so we're going to dance soon." Cappie said happily.
"Thanks Cap...But I'm gonna go...I do have work tomorrow." Beaver said seriously.
"We do too...You can't have a little fun with us? I've missed hanging out with you." Cappie said smiling.
"Heh...Same here but I'm tired...Later." Beaver said nicely and he went downstairs.
Meanwhile in Las Vegas...
"What a day! This has been an amazing honeymoon!" Amy said happily as she laid down on the bed.
"Yeah it has! I wish we didn't have to go back to New York tomorrow." Ben said tiredly as he laid down next to Amy.
"Me too...We could skip school for a little while longer." Amy said sweetly.
"Heh...Yeah but then we would be more behind than we already are." Ben said seriously.
"That's true...At least we get to skip school for one more day...Ugh...Why is my phone ringing?"'Amy said nicely and then a little irritated as her phone rang.
"Just answer it...I'm going to get some ice." Ben said smiling and he left the room with an ice bucket.
"Hey Ricky...How are you?" Amy said intrigued as she answered her phone.
"I'm doing all right...How's the honeymoon?" Ricky said nicely.
"Very nice...Thanks for asking...How is John? I haven't called my Mom to see how he's doing." Amy said happily and then concerned.
"She hasn't called me so I guess he's doing fine...What time are you and Ben going to the air port tomorrow?" Ricky said intrigued.
"We should be there around eleven since our flight is at noon...We're leaving here early tomorrow morning...My Mom is going to bring John to the airport...We talked about it before we left for Vegas." Amy said seriously.
"All right...I have class at that time anyway...I hope you two have a safe trip back to New York...And I'm glad your mom could watch John...School and work have kept me pretty busy." Ricky said kindly.
"Me too...Has Grace kept you pretty busy too?" Amy said as she smirked.
"Ha ha...Yeah she has...I just bought her something actually." Ricky said happily.
"Oh...Is it a late Valentine's Day present?" Amy said intrigued.
"Not exactly...It's for our trip to Hawaii...Please don't tell her...It's a surprise." Ricky said honestly.
"Oooh...I wonder what it is...I hope you two have fun there and I won't tell her." Amy said sweetly.
"Thanks Amy...Enjoy your last night in Vegas with Ben and I'll talk to you later." Ricky said kindly as he smiled.
"You're welcome and I will...Good night Ricky." Amy said sweetly.
"Good night...Bye." Ricky said nicely and he hung up.
Ben walked into the room with ice and he put an arm around Amy.
"Mmm...What took you so long?" Amy said happily.
"The ice machine was slow." Ben said smiling and he put an ice cube down the back of Amy's shirt.
"Ahh! Ben! That's so cold!" Amy said surprised.
"Ha ha! I told you that I would get you!" Ben said happily as Amy turned around.
"Heh...That's not funny!" Amy said a little irritated and she unbuttoned her shirt and took it off while the ice cube fell on the floor.
"Yes it is...You know, they have a hot tub in the other room." Ben said as he smirked.
"Oh, really? I don't have a swim suite." Amy said smiling.
"I don't either...I guess we'll have to skinny dip." Ben said seductively as he put his hands on Amy's hips.
"Yeah but that might be kind of...unsanitary...Think about all the other people who have used it." Amy said concerned as she put her arms around Ben's neck.
"Oh yeah...I guess we could go in our undergarments." Ben said seriously.
"That sounds good to me...And then we can move to the bed." Amy said quietly and Ben gave her a long kiss.
"Heh...I love you so much." Ben said kindly.
"I love you too." Amy said sweetly and they got into the hot tub after they took their clothes off.
"Whew...It is pretty hot." Ben said surprised.
"Yeah...That's why it's called a hot tub...Heh...I still can't believe we're married! I couldn't be happier right now." Amy said happily.
"Me too...So...what you said in your e-diary about us...It really happened." Ben said honestly.
"Yes it did...Except it's better...I never thought that I would come to Vegas with you on a honeymoon...And have incredible sex...You've gotten so much better every time." Amy said nicely as she smirked.
"Thank you...You've gotten better too...But that's not the only reason that we're here." Ben said smiling and then seriously.
"I know...I've really enjoyed seeing the city with you...But aren't you in the mood? We are in a hot tub." Amy said happily and then seductively.
"The city was a lot of fun...Heh...I am in the mood." Ben said as he smirked and Amy gave him a long kiss.
Meanwhile at Ricky's apartment...
Grace was working on homework and Ricky walked through the door.
"Hey you...Where were you?" Grace said intrigued as she smiled.
"I was at my parents' house...I got Ethan a little something for working for me today." Ricky said nervously.
"Really? What did you get him?" Grace said concerned as she raised an eyebrow.
"A gift card...Heh...I need to shower." Ricky said awkwardly.
"Why are you acting so weird?" Grace said suspiciously.
"What? I'm not acting weird...Did you apologize to Jack?" Ricky said intrigued.
"Right...I did apologize to him and we're on good terms now." Grace said honestly.
"That's awesome! I'm so proud of you!" Ricky said happily and he gave Grace a hug.
"Thanks Ricky...I am glad that we're better...You can shower now." Grace said sweetly.
"You want to join me?" Ricky said as he smirked.
"Ha ha...You are so full of it." Grace said sarcastically as she smiled.
"It is raining a little bit outside...I was thinking we could shower out there." Ricky said seriously as he smiled.
"Hmm...With our clothes on?" Grace said intrigued.
"Heh...You bad egg...Of course with our clothes on! It's a little cold." Ricky said as he grinned.
"All right...Let's go." Grace said as she smirked and they walked outside.
"Woah...It's raining a little heavier now." Ricky said surprised.
"Yeah but it does feel good." Grace said happily as she held Ricky's hand.
"True but it doesn't feel as good as you." Ricky said kindly.
"Heh...Very smooth." Grace said as she smiled.
"I mean it, Grace." Ricky said honestly as he looked deeply into Grace's eyes as she blushed. Next Ricky pulled Grace closer to him and he kissed her slowly and passionately.
"Wow...I used to think kissing in the rain was kind of cheesy but it's really romantic." Grace said surprised as she smiled.
"Exactly...That's why I brought you out here." Ricky said nicely as he put some hair behind Grace's ear.
"Ahh...I don't know how you do it, but you sweep me off my feet everyday." Grace said happily as she put her arms around Ricky's neck.
"You deserve it...And being deeply and completely in love with you may have something to do with it." Ricky said sincerely as he put his arms around Grace's waist.
"Yeah...That might help...Ha ha." Grace said sweetly and she gave Ricky a long and passionate kiss.
A few minutes later Grace and Ricky went back inside.
"That was refreshing...I should really shower though." Ricky said smiling as he took his jacket off.
"I should too...But you go ahead." Grace said kindly as she looked at her phone.
"All right...I'll be out in fifteen." Ricky said as he went into the bathroom.
Grace noticed that she had a voice mail from a number she didn't know and she played it.
"Hey Gracie...It's Cappie...So one of your friends...Madison I think...got kind of drunk and...she wanted me to call you...She's like passed out now...But I think she'll be cool...I'll let you know if anything serious happens to her...Peace out." Cappie's voice mail said seriously.
"Oh no...I hope she's ok...She probably is...I need to find some clean clothes." Grace said concerned and she walked into the bedroom.
The next day at Grant High...
"Hey man...What's up?" Chase said intrigued as he walked by Ethan at his locker.
"Don't give me that, tool bag." Ethan said annoyed as he rolled his eyes.
"I'm sorry about that...I was just messing with you." Chase said kindly.
"It wasn't funny...What do you want?" Ethan said a little irritated as he closed his locker.
"Are you good at English?" Chase said intrigued.
"I have a B in it...Why?" Ethan said concerned.
"Could you write a paper for me? I'll pay you one hundred bucks...You could use it for a car...You want one right?" Chase said seriously as he whispered.
"Wow...Somebody's desperate." Ethan said sternly as he crossed his arms.
"Come on, dude...I don't want to do it and you'll get money...We both win!" Chase said as he smiled.
"Yeah but what if we get caught? Then we'll both be screwed." Ethan said firmly.
"We're not gonna get caught...Trust me." Chase said honestly.
"Heh...Really? Why would I trust you after all the crap that you put Kathy through?" Ethan said angrily as he clenched his fists.
"If you don't help me, then Kathy will go to the senior dance with me." Chase said annoyed.
"What are you talking about? She didn't agree to go to the dance with you." Ethan said confused.
"So it's a deal?" Chase said intrigued as he put a hand out.
"Screw off! I gotta get to class." Ethan said cruelly and he walked away from Chase.
