"Oh, Ricky...I am completely, deeply, and madly in love with you too and I would love to marry you tonight." Grace said happily and Ricky stood up and put the ring on Grace's ring finger.
"I'm so excited! Do you like the ring?" Ricky said kindly.
"It's perfect...Just like you." Grace said sweetly as she put her arms around Ricky's neck.
"Heh...We're perfect for each other." Ricky said as he smirked and he gave Grace a long kiss as he pulled her closer to him.
"Mmm...What about your ring?" Grace said smiling and then concerned.
"I got one from Nora after Amy left me...She wanted me to save it and not wear it until I got married to the right person and for the right reasons." Ricky said seriously as he took out another ring box and opened it.
"Aww...That was really sweet of her...It's a nice gold color." Grace said nicely as she put the ring on Ricky's ring finger.
"Yeah it was...So there's a chapel place that we can get married at that's not far from the beach." Ricky said happily.
"Um...Could we get married on the beach? Please?" Grace said intrigued as she smiled.
"Of course...I love the beach...I'll just call the chapel place and ask them if someone can marry us here." Ricky said honestly and he took his phone out of his pocket.
Twenty minutes later a priest from the chapel place came to the beach.
"Hello...Are you Grace Bowman and Ricky Underwood?" The priest said nicely.
"Yes...It's nice to meet you, Joe." Ricky said smiling and he shook Joe's hand.
"You too...So how long have you two been together?" Joe said intrigued.
"About seven months...but we've known each other for years." Grace said honestly.
"Wow...That's amazing...Congratulations! Do you want the traditional vows?" Joe said surprised and then intrigued as he took a small book out of his pocket.
"Yes sir...Thank you for coming here." Ricky said kindly as he grabbed Grace's hand.
"It's my pleasure...All right...Ricky Underwood...The woman who stands by your side is going to be your wife...She will look to you for comfort, for support, for love, for understanding, for encouragement, and for protection...You must never take her for granted, and always stand by her for good or for worse." Joe said seriously as he looked at Ricky.
"It is my honor to always stand by Grace and I promise to God that I will never leave her side." Ricky said honestly as he looked at Joe and then Grace.
"Excellent...Grace Bowman...The man who stands by your side is going to be your husband...He will look to you for comfort, support, love, understanding, and encouragement...You must never take him for granted and always stand by him for good or for worse." Joe said smiling as he looked at Grace.
"It is also my honor to always stand by Ricky and I promise to God that I will never leave his side." Grace said seriously as she looked at Joe and then Ricky.
"Fantastic...Now Ricky, since it is your intention to marry, join your hands and declare your consent...Do you take Grace to be your lawful wedded wife to have and to hold from this day on, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?" Joe said happily as he looked at Grace and Ricky as they held each other's hands.
"I do." Ricky said smiling as he looked at Grace.
"All right...Grace, do you take Ricky to be your lawful wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day on, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?" Joe said kindly.
"I do." Grace said sweetly as she looked at Ricky.
"I see that you two have exchanged rings so...Your vows have been spoken in minutes, but your promises to each other will last until your last breath...You both have pledged to meet sorrow and happiness as one family before God and myself...I now pronounce you two as husband and wife...You may now kiss the bride." Joe said honestly as he smiled.
Ricky pulled Grace closer to him and kissed her slowly and passionately.
"Congrats to both of you! Can I get paid now?" Joe said nicely and then intrigued.
"Thank you so much Joe...Here's a check for five hundred bucks with my signature on it...Just cash it." Ricky said happily as he gave Joe a check that was in his pocket.
"Thank you...And both of you can come to the chapel tomorrow to get your marriage license...Have a good night and congrats again." Joe said smiling and he left the beach.
"He was nice...I can't believe we're married! Oh my gosh! You really blew me away tonight Ricky." Grace said kindly.
"Yeah he was...I am so happy that you said yes." Ricky said excited.
"Me too...Are you ready to go back to the hotel?" Grace said as she smirked.
"Yes I am...Mrs. Grace Underwood." Ricky said smiling as he grabbed Grace's hand and they left the beach.
Ten minutes later Grace and Ricky walked into their hotel room.
"So...I know it's not the honeymoon suite but it's nice." Ricky said kindly.
"It's fine...We can go on a honeymoon after we have another wedding...with our family and friends...Right?" Grace said homestly.
"I would love that...Are you ready to...you know." Ricky said as he smirked.
"Yes I am...Come here." Grace said seductively and she started to kiss Ricky passionately as he leaned his back against the wall.
"Ahh...We're not using a condom, right?" Ricky said concerned as he took a breath.
"No...I'm on really good birth control." Grace said quietly and she kissed Ricky again.
Next Grace started to take Ricky's shirt off slowly and he took her shirt off.
"You are so beautiful...I love you so much, Grace." Ricky said honestly as he put his arms around Grace.
"And you're so handsome...I love you too, Ricky." Grace said sweetly as she jumped and put her legs around Ricky's waist.
"Heh...I've never been so happy in my entire life." Ricky said kindly as he walked over to the bed with his hands around Grace's waist and Grace laid down.
"Me either...Kiss me." Grace said quietly.
"With pleasure." Ricky said seductively and he gave Grace a long kiss as she arched her back.
Ricky put one of his hands on Grace's bra and unhooked it as he started to kiss her neck.
"Ahh...Don't stop...I want you." Grace said a little out of breath and Ricky kissed Grace again as he pulled her shorts off. As Ricky started to kiss Grace's stomach, he took his shorts off.
A few minutes later Grace and Ricky were looking at each other after they removed their undergarmets.
"God sure has blessed you with an amazing figure." Ricky said surprised.
"Thank you...He's blessed you with an amazing body too...Your six pack has also gotten sexier." Grace said kindly as she blushed.
"It's my pleasure...And I knew you would like my six pack...Heh...Are you ready for us to become one?" Ricky said happily as he leaned in closer to Grace.
"Yes I am...Please take it slow...I love you." Grace said sweetly as she put her hands on Ricky's neck.
"That sounds good to me...I love you too." Ricky said happily and his body slowly became one with Grace's.
The next morning in South Carolina...
"Thank you for breakfast hun...Everything was delicious." Adrian said sweetly.
"No problem...I thought you would like a little bit of everything from the continental breakfast...Before we do anything, I need to call Dante." Omar said happily and then concerned.
"Oh, right...I need to shower anyway." Adrian said smiling and she walked into the bathroom.
Omar took his phone out and he called Dante.
"Ugh...What's up bro? It's like seven thirty in the morning." Dante said sleepily as he answered his phone.
"I know but...it's after ten thirty for me...Anyway, Adrian told me about the text you sent her." Omar said seriously.
"And what text would that be?" Dante said confused.
"The one where you said you're going to get engaged to Lauren." Omar said honestly.
"Damn...I forgot about that...I was sleep texting and I didn't mean to send it to Adrian." Dante said a little irritated.
"Who did you mean to send it to?" Omar said intrigued.
"Nobody...It was a mistake man...Lauren and I are not engaged so you don't have to worry about anything." Dante said seriously.
"All right...But you will let me know when you two do get engaged?" Omar said nicely.
"Of course, O...You told me how excited you were to be engaged to Adrian...That's what brothers do." Dante said happily.
"Ha ha...Thanks D...And I love being married to Adrian...Before you go, are you drinking again?" Omar said kindly and then worried.
"No problemo...I'm not drinking again...to get drunk...I just had one beer last night." Dante said honestly.
"I'm just making sure...Be careful and I hope you enjoy the rest of your break." Omar said smiling.
"I really appreciate that...I will be careful and enjoy the rest of your break...Talk to you later Omar." Dante said nicely.
"Thanks Dante...Bye." Omar said happily and he hung up.
"Hey Omie...I just realized I was missing something in the shower." Adrian said seductively as she walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body.
"Oh really? And what's that?" Omar said as he smirked.
"You...Come on." Adrian said quietly.
"Uh...I don't know Adrian...I don't think a shower is the most comfortable place to..." Omar said awkwardly.
"I was thinking you could rub soap all over me...And then once we finish getting all clean, we can relax in bed." Adrian said seriously as she smiled.
"Ok...Who are you and what did you do with my wife?" Omar said surprised.
"What? I thought I owed you since you got me breakfast." Adrian said sweetly.
"Mmm...That sounds good to me." Omar said as he smirked and he took his shirt and shorts off and he followed Adrian into the bathroom.
Meanwhile in Florida...
Amy, Ben, John, and George were at Ashley's and Toby's apartment.
"I can't believe this...When were you two going to tell me that you're living together?" George said shocked.
"Oh...We're doing more than that...Heh." Toby said as he smirked.
"Get out of here...Now!" George said loudly and Toby left the living room.
"Dad...It's really not that big of a deal...I was younger than Ashley when I moved in with Ricky." Amy said seriously.
"That's different because you have a son with him...I wish your mother could have came to see this...I'm sure she's going to be real happy when she finds out." George said sternly.
"Of course you always take Amy's side...She can get away with anything because she's a teen mother...That's bull crap Dad and you know it! I wanted to live with Toby...I love him and we go to school together, we work hard, and we're very responsible." Ashley said defensively.
"Don't talk to me like that young lady! You know that I love you and Amy equally and I have tried my hardest to be fair to both of you." George said angrily.
"Really? You've tried your hardest to be fair to both of us? If that was true, then you would have never went back to wife number one and you would have stayed with Mom." Ashley said cruelly and she went into her room and slammed the door.
"I am so sorry Dad...But she does have a good point." Amy said honestly and she went outside.
"What was all that yelling about?" Ben said concerned as Amy sat on the swing next to Ben.
"My Dad is just upset that Ashley and Toby are living together here." Amy said sadly.
"Really? I thought just Ashley lived here." Ben said surprised.
"I did too but...he moved in over a month ago" Amy said seriously.
"Wow...I guess she's trying to be more like you." Ben said honestly.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Amy said a little irritated.
"It means that Ashley wants to be like her older sister...Think about it...She might have never went to Italy and here if you didn't want to go to Hudson in New York." Ben said nicely.
"Oh wow...I guess you're right...That explains why she wanted to also be a fairy for Halloween when I was in third grade...Ha ha." Amy said as she smiled.
"Heh...I never realized how much younger siblings look up to their older ones until I had Chloe as my sister...I know that we're not super close but we're close enough to want to help each other...And I think Ashley will always need your help...Whether she wants to admit it or not." Ben said kindly as he put an arm around Amy.
"I think you're right, Ben...I just hope my Dad will be ok with all of this...It looks like John is enjoying the hammock." Amy said sweetly as she looked at Ben and then John.
"I'm sure he'll cool down eventually...Once Kathleen gets back from the store with his favorite apple pie." Ben said happily.
"Yeah...Do you want to go back inside?" Amy said intrigued.
"No...It's kind of nice relaxing on this swing with you...Ashley's lucky she got an apartment with a backyard." Ben said smiling.
"She is...Maybe we should stay here for the rest of spring break." Amy said seriously.
"We could but then we wouldn't get to do what we did last night as much." Ben said as he smirked.
"Heh...You do have a good point...It's too bad that my Mom went to Palm Springs with some friends instead of coming here...I miss her." Amy said honestly.
"I know...But we'll get to see her in the summer...And you can always call her or use a webcam." Ben said smiling as he rubbed Amy's arm.
"Yeah...I just hope that hell doesn't break loose when my Mom finds out about Ashley." Amy said worried.
"No matter what happens, I'm sure everything will work out for the best...We just need to have faith that it will." Ben said sincerely and he gave Amy a short kiss.
"Mmm...Yes we do...I love you." Amy said sweetly.
"I love you too." Ben said happily and Amy kissed him slowly.
A few hours later in San Diego...
Jack was sleeping and Chloe gave him a slow kiss.
"Mmm...Good morning beautiful...What time is it?" Jack said happily as he opened his eyes.
"It's almost eleven...I've been up for an hour...I showered and curled my hair." Chloe said sweetly.
"Really? Ugh...I usually don't sleep in this late...And your hair looks amazing." Jack said as he sat up.
"Thanks and it's ok...I usually sleep in...Heh...So...do you remember that guy Brandon I told you about?" Chloe said nicely.
"You're welcome...He was your ex right?" Jack said intrigued.
"Yeah...He left me an interesting voice mail last night." Chloe said concerned as she grabbed her phone.
"Let's hear it." Jack said seriously and Chloe played the voice mail.
"Hey Chloe...baby...Aww man...I wish I could hook up with you right now...This chick Rebecca is so hot but you were hotter...Call me...Bye." Brandon said in a druken tone on Chloe's voice mail.
"Oh man...He sounds drunk...Why would he call you?" Jack said a little irritated.
"I guess he did it by accident...People usually have bad judgement when they're drunk." Chloe said sadly.
"That's true...But maybe you should call him to make sure he's ok." Jack said kindly.
"All right...I didn't know he drank." Chloe said seriously and she called Brandon.
"Aww man...Hello?" Brandon said quietly as he answered his phone.
"Hey Brandon...It's Chloe...Are you ok?" Chloe said concerned.
"Oh dang...I'm a little hung over...Crap." Brandon said weakly as he looked over and saw Rebecca laying next to him.
"That's too bad...Do you remember leaving me a voice mail last night?" Chloe said a little irritated.
"No...Whatever I said, I didn't mean it...Everything that happened to me last night was a blur after midnight." Brandon said honestly.
"I thought so...Good luck and if you need anything, just let me know...Jack and I are in San Diego so we're not that far away." Chloe said nicely.
"All right...Thanks Chloe...Later." Brandon said kindly and he hung up.
"He says he's ok and a little hung over." Chloe said worried.
"I'm sure he'll be fine...Do you want to get some lunch and go to the beach?" Jack said intrigued.
"Sure...I am pretty hungry." Chloe said as she smiled and they left their hotel.
Meanwhile in LA...
"Holy...What did I do last night?" Brandon said quietly to himself as he put his pants on.
"Mmm...Hey you...Last night was incredible." Rebecca said sweetly as she stretched her arms.
"Uh...Did we have sex last night?" Brandon said worried.
"No...We just fooled around some...I drank a little bit so I remember everything we did." Rebecca said as she smirked.
"Thank God...I didn't have any condoms." Brandon said relieved.
"I know...That's why we did a lot of grinding and making out." Rebecca said nicely.
"Oh really? Was I pretty good?" Brandon said intrigued.
"Yeah...You were the best I've ever had." Rebecca said kindly as she put her shirt on.
"Thanks...I'm sorry that I drank so much." Brandon said sincerely.
"It's fine since it helped loosen you up." Rebecca said happily and she gave Brandon a long kiss.
"Ok but next time I would like to be sober when we do that." Brandon said as he smiled.
"That's fine with me...What do you say we get out of here?" Rebecca said happily.
"Sure...I'm ready to go." Brandon said seriously and they left the beach house.
A few hours later in Hawaii...
"Last night was amazing Ricky." Grace said sweetly after she took a drink of her orange juice.
"Yeah it was...Did I live up to your expectations?" Ricky said as he smirked.
"You were a lot better than what I expected actually." Grace said happily.
"Mmm...That's good to know...Maybe we could go skinny dipping tonight...What do you say?" Ricky said seductively.
"Uh...I don't know...In the ocean?" Grace said nervously as she looked at the ocean.
"If you want...No pressure." Ricky said honestly.
"I guess we could try it...Ha ha...When are we going to tell everyone that we eloped?" Grace said nicely.
"How about when we get back? I want to enjoy the rest of spring break with just you." Ricky said kindly as he put some hair behind Grace's ear.
"Aww Ricky...I wish we could spend the rest of our lives with just each other...With nobody breathing down our necks and telling us what to do." Grace said happily as she blushed.
"That would be pretty nice but no matter what, we will be committed to each other." Ricky said seriously as he smiled and Grace gave him a long kiss.
"I love you so much...And I've never been so grateful to God in my life...I was wondering why you were so anxious on the plane." Grace said smiling.
"Heh...I love you too and I'm very grateful to God that you wanted to marry me last night...I know that we talked about waiting a couple years to get married but...since we already live together and love each other I thought why not? Hawaii is a beautiful place to get married." Ricky said happily.
"It sure is...And I think the timing was perfect...Seven is a lucky number and we've been together for basically seven months." Grace said kindly.
"That's true...Ha ha...Do you want to go swimming?" Ricky said intrigued as he stood up.
"I would love to." Grace said sweetly as she stood up.
Grace and Ricky went into the ocean and they started to swim.
Meanwhile in LA...
Kathy and Ethan were eating lunch on the beach.
"That burger was yummy." Kathy said as she wiped her mouth with a napkin.
"Yeah it was...So...there's a cove area about twenty miles from here...I looked it up last night." Ethan said smiling.
"Um...Ethan...I haven't been completely honest with you." Kathy said seriously.
"What is it?" Ethan said concerned.
"I don't think I'm ready to have sex with you." Kathy said honestly.
"What? But I thought you wanted to do it this week." Ethan said confused.
"Yeah but I realized that...I want a serious relationship with you...Meaning...I want to wait to sleep with you." Kathy said nicely.
"Oh...I...don't know, Kathy." Ethan said sadly.
"What do you mean you don't know? Believe me Ethan, I want to sleep with you...But I think we're too young...I wasn't ready when I slept with Don and I don't feel more ready now." Kathy said honestly.
"But what if I die a virgin? You never know when your last day will be." Ethan said concerned.
"Are you kidding me? Did you not hear a word I just said?" Kathy said annoyed.
"Oh, I heard you...Is this about Chase? Am I not attractive enough for you?" Ethan said angrily.
"Chase has nothing to do with this...I love you inside and out." Kathy said seriously.
"And we can't have sex because you're not ready?" Ethan said sternly.
"If that's all you want from me, Ethan then maybe we should break up." Kathy said a little irritated as she stood up.
"No...Stop Kathy...I'm really sorry...I do love you and I overreacted to you changing your mind." Ethan said sincerely as he stood up and grabbed Kathy's hand.
"Are you really sorry?" Kathy said concerned.
"Yes...I can live with just making out." Ethan said as he smirked and put his arms around Kathy's waist.
"Heh...All right...I forgive you." Kathy said sweetly as she put her arms around Ethan's neck and he gave her a long kiss.
Aww! Grace and Ricky eloped and they're so happy together! What's everyone else going to think when they find out? Will Dante be careful with drinking? And will he get engaged to Lauren any time soon? At least Adrian and Omar are having a great time. Ha ha! Things got a little intense with George and Ashley. Will he let her stay with Toby? At least Ben helped Amy feel better about her family. Chloe and Jack are having a good time but will they need to help Brandon? Did Rebecca take advantage of Brandon? Are Grace and Ricky going to skinny dip? Will Ethan and Kathy wait to sleep together? Stay tuned to find out! Let me know what you think! Thank you! :)
