A New Day [Hamilton AU]

Chapter 14

*Aaron POV*
After meeting Theodosia at the Halloween party, I couldn't stop thinking about her. I found out that she was in two of my classes. We hung out after class yesterday and the day before. She was gorgeous, funny, intelligent, charming, and so much fun to hang out with. I asked her if she wanted to hang out at the movies tonight. I was really excited to see her. Everything she does makes me smile.

I walked to her dorm in Monmouth North and knocked on her door. She opened the door and my eyes widened at the sight of her. She looked beautiful. Her long, curly, brown hair was pulled into a tight ponytail and her curls stuck out in the back. She wore high-waisted skinny jeans and a baseball tee that she rolled up and tied with a hair tie behind her.

"Ready to go?" She asked in excitement.

"Of course! Do you know which movie you want to see?" I asked her, hoping she didn't notice me staring at her.

"Do you think we can see A Cure For Wellness?" She asked as she shut her door and we started walking.

I gasped from excitement.

"I've been wanting to see that movie for a while! I totally forgot about it. I heard it's a really good movie". I smiled at her nervously.
"Sounds good" She replied and we hopped in my car and drove to the theater.

After we watched the movie, I took her to the mall and we ate in the food court. We wandered around the stores for a while, and she bought a few things for herself. I smiled every time her eyes lit up from seeing something she wanted.

We passed a store that had mannequins in the windows, showing off the clothes. She stood there staring at one of them wearing a light pink and white sweater. She walked inside quickly and checked the price on it, but walked out looking disappointed.

"How much?" I asked her

"Its $35 on sale and the sale ends tomorrow. Its fine though, I don't need it". She looked down in disappointment and continued walking.

"I think we've walked around the entire mall, and its getting late so we should probably be getting home". She said to me, looking at her phone.

I had an idea.

"Oh, yeah, we should. I'll meet you at the car, I need to use the bathroom. Okay?"

"Okay," she replied.

I handed her the keys to the car and turned to walk towards the bathroom. I turned the corner and waited for her to be out of sight. Once she was, I walked towards the store we were in front of before, and walked inside. I found the sweater she was looking at and gave my guess bet at her size. I picked up the medium and the small and compared them. I'll get the medium one. I walked to the cash register and paid for it. The clerk put it in a small pink bag and handed it to me. I walked out and headed for the car, hiding the bag behind my back. Theo was waiting in the car for me already. I opened the driver door and pulled the bag from out behind me and handed it to her.

"What's this?" She said, laughing.

"Just open it". I said and she took the bag.

She opened it and her eyes lit up.

"OH MY GOD AARON! YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO GET IT FOR ME! THANK YOU" She yelled out, and hugged me.

"I wanted to". I said, smiling from her reaction.

"Really Aaron, thank you" She looked me in the eyes and smiled.
