After Harvey left, Aurelia got on her moped and drove home. When she entered the house, she saw the boys were playing video games in the living room. They didn't even look over at her when she walked in. That is until the door closed which caught Jeremiah's attention.
"Hey, there you are, sis!" Jeremiah greets with a smile. "Where have you been all day?"
"Honestly, best day of my life since you were gone for most of it." Steven teased Aurelia, smirking at her.
"Haha, very funny." Aurelia says sarcastically, glaring back at him. "I was just hanging out with an old friend."
"Harvey?" Conrad questioned, glancing back at her with a smirk. He didn't miss the way her face lit up at the mention of Harvey's name.
"Yes, Harvey. We were just catching up." Aurelia explained, smiling at the mention of his name.
"Just caught up, huh?" Steven asks with a raised eyebrow, looking at her with amusement. "Didn't realize catching up required a whole day."
Aurelia rolls her eyes, knowing exactly where this conversation was headed. "It's not like that. We're just friends. Anyway, I need to get ready for my date. See you guys later."
"Wait, hold up." Jeremiah stops Aurelia from walking away and gets up, causing the other two to protest since he stopped playing in the middle of the game. "You're going on a date? Like, this one is official? And it's with Harvey? That's why you're so smiley and happy?"
"Yes, yes, and yes." Aurelia laughed, her smile turning into a grin as her face turned more red.
"Aurie, I'm so happy for you!" Jeremiah grins, pulling her into a hug. "This is awesome! I'm so happy for you. Congrats, sis!"
"Thanks, J." Aurelia replied, hugging him back. She knew her brother was genuinely happy for her and she was glad.
"Wait, you're saying someone would actually want to date you?" Steven inquired, sounding dramatic and surprised.
"Unlike you, yes." Aurelia shot back with a smirk.
"Ouch, burn." Jeremiah chuckled while Conrad snickered.
"Wow, way to kill my pride." Steven retorted, rolling his eyes.
"Where's the girls at?" Aurelia asked curiously.
"Up in mom's room." Conrad replied and she nodded in response. She walked up the stairs, heading to her mom's room. Susannah, and Belly were there, but she didn't see Laurel. Belly was putting on lipstick as she looked at herself in the full length mirror. She wore a floral crop top, denim jeans and white shoes.
"Hey, there's my beautiful daughter! How was your day with Harvey?" Susannah smiled brightly once she saw Aurelia walk in.
"It was great. We had a lot of fun." Aurelia smiles happily, her cheeks tinted a light shade of red. "I'm also going on a date with him tonight."
Susannah gasps excitedly. "Really? That's wonderful!"
"Yay, Aurie!" Belly squeals, running over to her and pulling her into a hug. "You're going on a date! I'm so happy for you. Where are you guys going?"
"We haven't decided yet. We're probably just gonna do dinner and a movie. Something simple." Aurelia responds with a small shrug. She looks at her mom and Laurel with a nervous expression, fidgeting with her hands. "I was hoping you guys wouldn't be mad at me."
"Of course not. Why would we be mad at you?" Susannah asked, furrowing her eyebrows.
"Because I'll miss the book signing thing." Aurelia replied with a sigh.
