Couple days later

"Ariel! Jeremiah is on the phone!" My mom called sticking her head into my room.

I smiled as I closed my song book. Jeremiah and I have been getting closer again. He respects that I'm still getting over Oliver.

I jumped off my bed and ran to my door. Ripping the phone from my mom's hand, I ran back to my couch lying down.

A: Hello?
J: Hey Ari
A: What up?
J: Not much. Just wondering if ya wanna maybe go to the movies later tonight?
A: Umm, sure. I'm free.
J: Sweet, pick you up at 6? Maybe get something to eat first.
A: Can't wait, Jere
J: Shut up!!
I laughed.
A: See you later
J: Bye

I hung up the phone and sighed.
Wait? Is this a date? Oh my gosh, am I going on a date?

I grabbed the phone and dialled the palace number. It rang for a little but before getting picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hi, it's Ariel Noel."
"Ariel! It's Maxon!"
"How are you?"
"Good."
"How's America?"
"Doing ok. Other than the morning sickness." He laughed a little.
"I need to speak to Rose."
"Of course. One moment."
The silence only lasted a couple minutes before Rose's voice came over.
"Hello?"
"Rose! It's Ariel!!"
"Ariel!!! I miss you sooo much!!!"
"I miss you too."
"So, is there a reason you are calling me at 10 at night?"
"Oh, right. It's only 4:30 here. Crap. I have to get ready. So you know about Jeremiah, right?"
"Uh yeah. Why?"
"He asked me to the movies and I didn't think anything of it but then I was thinking and is it a date?"
"Well duh!!! I mean you kissed a couple days ago, he obviously still loves you and it's just to I and him!! It's a date!! How could you move on so fast???" She sighed dramatically.
"I never told you that we kissed and I didn't think it was a date!!!"
"Oh right. Olivia told me. I didn't think you would give up so soon on Oliver."
"You know I have to get ready. Tell Oliver I'm going on a date so people get that Oliver is no longer a possibility for me!!!" I yelled angrily into the phone and hung up.

I dropped my head dramatically onto the couch pillow. I looked over at the clock on my wall. It read 4:39. I sighed and forced myself to get up and get ready.

I took a quick hot shower and let all my worries fall down the drain with the water. I'm excited for tonight. I mean it's been a week since I've been back, I should move on. Jeremiah is a nice, sweet, caring guy. We have history together. It's like it's meant to be.

I jumped out of the shower and quickly dried my hair. I threw it into a cute, messy bun. I walked into my walk in closet. Walking away from my dress section I pulled out some light blue skinny jeans, a pink t-shirt, a denim jacket and a blue scarf. It was cute but casual. I walked out of my room downstairs. It was 5:55. I pulled on some brown boots.

"Mom, I'm leaving soon." I called out into the house.

I heard the little tap of shoes going down the stairs.

"Where are you going?"
"Jeremiah and I are going to the movies."
"Ok, here's some money." She said pulling out here wallet handing me some bills.
"Thanks."

The doorbell rang and I quickly opened it up and stepped into the crisp winter air. I'm glad I'm not wearing a dress.

"You look gorgeous!!" Jeremiah stuttered as he looked me up and down.

I blushed and looked down at my feet nervously.
"Thanks." I smiled.

Jeremiah hooked his arm with mine and walked me towards his car. It reminded me of Oliver. He always hooked his arm with mine, even when I protested.
