******** HARPERS POV********

That night after my dad got home, I told him about my date. He totally flipped his switch.

"YOU DIDNT EVEN LET ME TALK TO THIS GUY!!!!!!!!" he yelled. He knew that Ashton was my best friend, so I dont see why he was freaking out.

"Jon, calm down!" My mom exclaimed. "I think it's good that she's finally going on dates again!"

"Well I dont want this Ashton guy to break her heart like that boy Calum did!" Dad yelled.

"Dad, I told you! Things between me and Calum are fine now! We're still friends!" I exclaimed.

"C'mon, honey. Just give the boy a chance." Mom said pleadingly.

Dad sighed. "Fine. But if this kid hurts you, he's dead." he muttered the last part.

"Thanks dad!" I exclaimed, running upstairs to text Ashton.

Cara ran up to me. "He IS your boyfriend!" she exclaimed.

"Actually, we're just dating." I corrected her.

"But he kissed you! I SAW him!" she exclaimed, following me into my bedroom.

"It was on the cheek. He's not my boyfriend yet." I said.

She huffed. I felt a little sad for her. Back when I was dating Calum 2 years ago, Cara absolutely adored him. He was a lot like Ashton; he rarely ever said no to her and he was just nice to her in general. So, when I came home after we had broken up, she was pretty upset.

"You know what, we haven't eaten! How about I make some Mac and cheese, yea?" I exclaimed.

Cara nodded and ran downstairs yelling "MAC AND CHEESEEEE!!!!"

I laughed, and followed her downstairs.

After dinner, I ran upstairs to text Ashton.

To: Ashton

Hey :)))

Ashton:

Hi :D

Me:

Very excited for tomorrow!!!!

Ashton: Me 2! Gtg to bed. See you tomorrow! :3

Me: Night. :P

I turned my phone off, got in bed, and went to sleep.

********* Date Night **********

I couldnt decide on what to wear, so I just decided to keep it casual.

I put on a blue tanktop with a black undershirt, and these black leggings with all kinds of astec looking designs on them. I put my hair in a ponytail, and grabbed some black TOMS.

At exactly 7:01, someone knocked on the door.

"BE BACK LATER GUYS!!!!!" I yelled, running to the door.

Cara beat me to it. "Hi Ashton! Youre a minute late!" she exclaimed when she opened the door.

Ashton just laughed. "Hello Cara, and hello Harper, looking lovely as always." he said, smiling at me.

"What do you think of my dress?" Cara asked. I knew she couldnt go even five minutes without some kind of attention.

I almost smacked the back of her head.

But Ashton just smiled and knelt down to her height. "You look beautiful, Cara." he whispered, gently kissing the top of her head (A/N: Lol like a priest xD Anyone remember?) before standing up.
