3RD POV, ROSEBUD APARTMENT LOFT - RICKY'S LOFT APARTMENT

The Next Day. In Ricky's loft, Ricky Henson is sitting on the windowsill cushion, wearing a sleeveless shirt and lounge pants, sipping on a bottle cider.

Prudence Rivera is wearing Ricky's short sleeve skeleton hand shirt, and gently walks downstairs and into the living room.

"Day-drinking." Prudence said.

Ricky looks at Prudence and smiles a little. "Yeah. And by the way, my shirt looks incredibly sexy on you."

Prudence smiles a little. "I meant what I said to you, Ricky."

"Yeah. I know. You're gonna punch me in my face if I screw up . . ." Ricky said, pointing his finger from himself to her. ". . . whatever this is between us."

"Yeah." Prudence said. "What is this between us?"

"It's romance." Ricky said, getting up to his feet.

"Heather Morgan, Scarlett Sweeney, Maureen Chamberlain. They were short romantic flings." Prudence said to him.

"Prue?" Ricky said.

"You really must think I'm an idiot, don't you?" Prudence said. "I know you, Ricky."

"What do you want to know, Prudence?" Ricky said. "I have nothing else to lose. My parents are dead. I'm estranged from my aunt and uncle, my cousin Eleanor Reese is a psychopat. So, tell me, what else is there for me?"

"I know how much of a Bad Boy Snake that you are, and you and I are both rebellious and mischievously naughty." Prudence said, and punches Ricky in his face.

Ricky falls on the carpet floor and looks up at Prudence. "Gosh, you sure do know how punch."

"Yeah. I do. Told you that I was gonna punch you in the face." Prudence said with a smirk, and crouching down to him.

"Yeah. You weren't kidding." Ricky said. "But I do admit, you're tough."

"Yeah." Prudence said.

Ricky and Prudence exchange small smiles at each other and they shares a kiss.

"By the way, did we just a lovebird fight?" Ricky said, bewildered.

"Probably yeah." Prudence said. "But we've flirted for now, we have some things to do."

Ricky and Prudence exchange smirks at each other.

BENTON HOME

That morning, in the bathroom, a silhouette of Jonny behind a blue curtain, Jonny is taking a warm shower in corner bathtub shower. He gently runs his hands in his wet brown hair and closes his eyes for a bit to feel the warm water. And slowly opens his eyes and sighs to himself.

In my sunny bedroom, I'm laying in my bed, with my bedcover covering me. I hear some water noises from the bathroom.

I gently gets up from my bed and walks out of my bedroom.

I open the bathroom door and pokes my head in. "Jonny?"

"You're gonna get undressed?" Jonny asked flirtatiously, from the bathtub shower.

"Maybe not." I said, playfully, but my playfulness fades away and I become worried. "Are you okay? You know you can always talk to me about anything?"

"I know." Jonny said from the bathtub shower.

"Okay, I'll see you around." I said.

"You too." Jonny said. "But this is to be continued this afternoon."

I playfully chuckles softly to myself and walks away, closes the bathroom door.

FLEURY MONNE SPEAKEASY LOUNGE

Maggie is sitting on a semi-circle booth with her cocktail drink and Craig is sitting  beside her.

"Craig, what is it?" Maggie asked her boyfriend, worriedly.

"Nothing. I just hope that this is the opportunity to do this." Craig said, pulling out a ring box from his jacket pocket, and gets down on one knee.

Maggie looks at Craig, astonished, and sets down her cocktail drink on the coffee table. "Craig? You don't have to do this."

"Maggie, anything could've happened at Dale's Suite. And I wouldn't want to regret not doing this." Craig said, and opens the ring box, containing an engagement ring. "So, Margaret Pollard, will you marry me?"

Craig and Maggie exchange smiles at each other and he awaits her response to his marriage proposal.

"Yes. I'll marry you, Craig." Maggie said with a smile.

Craig and Maggie exchange smiles at each other and he slides the engagement ring on her left hand ring finger.

Craig and Maggie both gets up to their feet and kisses each other.

JEN'S DINER

THAT EVENING I'm sitting in a booth table with a strawberry banana smoothie.

"Hi, Miss. Violet." Angie said.

I look up at Angie and smiles. "Hey, Angie."

I slide out of the booth table and walks up to Angie. She and I hugs each other.

"How are you?" I asked her, gently pulls away from the hug.

"I'm good." Angie said, as she and I slides back into the booth table across from each other. "So, you're a special agent?"

"Yeah. I take down the bad seeds in this small town." I said to Angie. "So, you're a cheerleader? Is Cherry her typical grumpy self?"

"Yeah." Angie said. "But I'm getting to know her."

"Angie, I know Cherry. She may be her typical grumpy self, but she's a pretty cool person. Trust me." I said to Angie.

Angie and I gently nods at each other and exchange small smiles at each other.

THAT NIGHT AT BENTON HOME I slowly walks inside my home and closes the door behind me.

"Jonny?" I said.

My phone buzzes in my jeans pocket. I pull my phone out and looks at it.

I smile a little, putting my phone back in my jeans pocket, and walks away.

[Song: Uh-Huh (clean version) by: Julia Michaels]

Walking up to the bathroom door, I slowly opens the door and looks at Jonny's silhouette in the blue bathtub shower curtain and closes the door behind me.

I pull off my ankle boots and pulls off my blazer jacket, gently drops them on the carpet floor. I pulls off my sweater, gently drops it on the carpet floor. I unfastens my jeans and pulls them down and off, along with my undies. I unfastens my Natori feathers lace bra and gently drops it on my clothes.

Now, undressed, I slowly walks up to the bathtub shower and pulls back the blue curtain and slowly steps into it.

"Hola." I said to Jonny, gently brushes his shaggy wet hair with my hand.

Jonny turns around and looks at me with a small smile. "Hola to you too."

Jonny and I exchange small playfully smiles and chuckles softly as we kiss each other, passionately, as the warm shower water sprinkles.

Jonny gently leans me against the bathtub shower wall, kissing me and playfully bites my bottom lip and kisses the side of my neck. I gently brushes his wet shaggy brown hair with my hand and closes my eyes in lovable pleasure as he plants kisses on the side of my neck.

[Song ends]

SHORTLY AFTERWARDS In my bedroom, I'm wearing my bra and undies, half naked, wearing my purple bathrobe, sitting on my ottoman.
Jonny is laying in my bed, with the bedcover covering him. And I'm sitting at his bedside.

"So, what was with the make out thing?" I asked Jonny.

Jonny chuckles. "Something I've been wanting to do for a long while, but couldn't."

"Yeah. Seems like you and I wanted to." I said to Jonny, gently brushes his damped  shaggy hair with my hand.

Jonny and I smiles at each other.
