Sorry it took so long!
*****************
It was finally time for my date with Jason. I spent the last hour and a half getting ready, and I still wasn't sure about the outfit I had on.
"You look great" Emily told me.
"Yeah, Jason's eyes will pop out of his head when he sees you." Spencer added.
"I still think this is a bad idea, but you do look good." Hannah agreed. We decided that they would come over before my date to help me get ready and just hang out at my place and wait for me to return. My parents were going out to another art show and didn't care as long as I didn't leave my friends for too long. The time flew by and the doorbell finally rang.
"Wish me luck!" I said going to answer it.
"We're gonna want details, don't forget!" Spencer called after me. I chose to ignore her and kept moving towards the door. I answered it expecting to find Jason, but was suprised to see Lucas and Caleb instead.
"What are you guys doing here?" I asked.
"We decided to crash your slumber party." Caleb said, peeking behind me. I closed the door, leaving just a crack.
"Really guys? Now is not the time." I told them aggrivated.
"I told you this was a bad idea" Lucas whispered to Caleb, who in return just shoke his head.
"Hannah!" I hollared up the stairs. A few seconds later she came running down the stairs.
"What?" she asked. When she saw the guys she looked at me confused.
"They thought it be fun to crash our sleepover." I told her, answering her question.
"Oh, are they staying?" she asked me. Before I got the chance to answer the doorbell rang again.
"I don't care, just no going upstairs." I said eyeing Caleb and Hannah, then I answered the door.
"Jason, thank god its you." I said happy to see him. He leaned in to give me a kiss on the cheek but pulled away instantly when he saw there was an audience.
"Were you expecting someone else?" he asked.
"No." I told him. I said goodbye to everyone before leaving with Jason.
"You're leaving them alone in there?" he asked skeptical. He grabbed my hand as we walked toward his car.
"Yeah, my friends are sleeping over and those guys crashed the party." I told him.
"I'm confused. If you invited your friends over, then why did you agree to go on a date with me?" he asked, stopping to open my door for me. I got in and waited for him to join me before I spoke.
"I invited them over after we made plans. They wanted to know what was going on between us, and I needed advice on what to wear." I answered honestly.
"What exactly did you tell them?" he asked playfully.
"Nothing yet." I said truthfully.
"Don't look now, but they're watching us from your window." he told me.
"Of course they are." I said embarassed.
"Well, lets give them something to talk about." He put his hand under my chin and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and held onto him tighter. His other arm went around my waist as we started making out. I knew the girls probably had their mouths gaping opened suprised by our actions.
"We better get going or we're going to miss the movie." I said breathlessly.
"Right," he said as he pulled away and started the car.
When we got to the movies he came over and opened my door for me. I thanked him and grabbed his hand as we walked in. It felt good being able to hold my dates hand in public. I forgot how nice the feeling was.
"So, what do you want to see?" he asked me.
"It depends, are we actually going to watch the movie, or did you have other activities in mind?" I asked him back.
He pulled me close to him and said, "I could think of a few things I'd rather do." We walked over to the booth and got in line. When it was our turn he asked for two tickets for whatever was about to start. We got out stubs and went to get popcorn and drinks. By the time we got to the theater the lights were already off and the movie had begun. We looked for seats and was suprised to find the three at the top vacant. I took the seat on the end while he sat in the middle. I snuggled up closer to him, and we picked up where we left off earlier in the car. By the time we pulled apart the credits were rolling, and the theater was emptying out.
"We should do this more often." I said. My lips were swollen and my hair was a mess. It was clearly obvious as to what I was doing.
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom and fix myself, then we can go." I told him. When I found my way to the ladies room I was suprised to see Mona with a look similar to my own. I went to the sink farthest away from her, hoping she wouldn't notice me. I was reajusting my dress when she came into view in my mirror.
"Aria, is that you?" she asked suprised.
"Hey Mona." I said trying not to meet her eyes.
"Are you here on a date too?" she asked.
"Uh, yeah. He's waiting for me so I should get going." I told her as I tried to leave.
"I'd reaply your gloss if I was you" she said faking innocene.
"Right, thanks." I covered my lips with gloss and then fleated out the door. I looked around for Jason and spotted him leaning against the wall oppisite of the bathroom.
"Ready?" he asked when he saw me. I shook my head and we left.
"So are you itching to go home or do you want to stop and get a milkshake?" he asked.
"I could go for a shake." I answered.
