CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

»»————– ❆ ————–««

When Ariana had woken up from her slumber, the first person she saw was boy named Zachary. The loverboy had missed school just to be with Ariana. 

She endorsed it. As the she got up, she didn't hesitate to hug him. "You're here, Thank God" she whispered". Zach smiled as he hugged the girl back "of course I'd be here, I wouldn't leave you."

He pecked her cheeks and guided her towards the bathroom. 

When Ariana finished getting ready, the couple intertwined their hands and walked downstairs. Zachary had grabbed his keys and left the house with Ariana. 

As they got in his car they let go of each other. The car ride was silent. 

Until Ariana broke it. She knew what she wanted. And she wanted the boy named Zachary. 

The young gentlemen who was there for her no matter what, the young gentlemen who had unconditional love for her. 

"Zach"

The young boy stopped the car, looked into her eyes then responded "yes?"

Ariana hesitated, because she was afraid of rejection. As well as their friendship ending "I like you, I like you a lot."

He froze, thinking to himself, is this real? 

Ariana grabbed a hold of his hand then said "you don't have to say you like me back. But I just want to tell you, that I like you, in fact, I think I love you"

Zachary kissed the palm on her hand then replied 

"I love you too, and you may not be "Ariana Grande", but you are my "Ariana""

Ariana let out a giggle then Zach continued driving.

...

As Daniel got out of his bed to check the time, he glanced at his watch then saw it was 11:24 AM. He decided to texted Ariana just to see how she was going.
