Falling In Love Chapter 2
Aria Point Of View:
"Rose honny, go back to sleep" "But I'm not tired mommy. I wanna go to Jenna's house!" "Rose, its 4 o'clock in the morning! The partys not till after dinner. Go back to bed sweetheart" "Can I sleep with you mommy?" "Sure dear."
Rose has always been an early riser. From the day I came home from the hospital with her. Her dad always woke up at five with her while Anne and I slept in. But with him gone it's difficult for me. Usually we wake up at 6ish but when she's excited she always wants to get up super early.
We eventually got up at five when Rose wouldn't stop talking about how excited she was for the birthday party she was going to later on in the day. "Were gonna have pizza, and cake, and ice cream. And a pinata!" "That's fun honny." I made her eggs and bacon, which is her favorite breakfast foods. "Mommy, do you like this boy who's coming over tonight?" "Rose dear, what are you talking about?" "You know mommy. Do you like this boy?" "Rose, what do you no about liking boys? Your only four!" "Well Jenna told me that she likes this boy in my class. And she explained to me what that meant" "And what does that mean cutie?" Asking as if she would come up with this crazy explanation of liking someone in kindergarten "When you hold his hand in the halls and hug him like you and daddy used to hug" "Rose, do you do this stuff in school?" "No way! Just Jenna always talks about it and she says that one day, soon, she's gonna do that. And she said... she might even give him a kiss! But shhhhh dont tell her mommy! She told me not to tell anyone" I can't believe this. My little girl is in kindergarten and she's already having secrets about kissing boys and liking them. What is up with this world? "So mommy, Do you like this boy?" "Well no sweatie. We were friends a long time ago and we just wanna talk" "Okay mommy. But no kissing!" "Yes dear. How about you go run upstairs. I'll go wake up Anne and we can go and pick Jenna out a birthday present" "Kay mommy"
When we got to Target, Rose saw this princess bean bag chair and we just had to get it for Jenna. As we walked to the the cashier we saw Ezra, of all people, standing in front of us in line. "Ezra?" "Aria?"
Ezra's Point Of View:
Of all places in the city, I see Aria and her kids...family... or whatever they are at target. What are the odds? "What are you doing here?" "Were just shopping for a birthday present. Rose has a birthday party tonight." "ohh thats fun! What kind of party cutie?" The little girl stood there staring at me with a blank look on her face. She looked terrified "It's a princess party" Aria winked at me as if she wanted me to stop talking to her. "Well I hope you have fun." "So what are you doing here?" Aria asked me "I'm just picking up some lunch" "You have a box of ice cream bars" Aria teased "Well you now how bad of a cook I am" I teased back. "Well we better get going. Rose has to get ready for her party. Are we still on for tonight?" Aria asked. "Of course" "Okay so i'll see you at my house at 7?" "It's a date"
I never thoght that seeing Aria at Target would make me even more excited for our date tonight than I already was. Come to think about it, I didn't think anything would make me more excited for our date.
Seven could not come fast enough. Sitting on my couch with boxes surounding me eating Chunky Munky ice cream. "Maybe I should bring this to Aria's tonight" I said to myself. It is her favorite ice cream. It's almost six and I decided that getting ready now wouldn't be a crime. I put on the nicest, yet casual, shirt that I had. Digging through boxes to find the best one. Untill I opened the random box sitting on my bed. As soon as I saw my blue button up shirt I knew that was the one. I slipped it on and threw on a pair of jeans. I looked at the clock and it was 6:30! I couldn't be happier. I jumped in the car and started driving...
Aria's Point Of View:
"Bye Rose. Have fun" I yelled back to my little girl from the front yard of her friend Jenna's house "Bye Mommy! You have fun too" She said then a wink. A wink? Really? My four year old girl just winked at me cuz I had a date. What happened while raising this child? Anyway, Anne was at Sidney's house and Rose at Jenna's, Ezra would be at my house any minute. Maybe my life is coming together.
When I got home I set the table and ordered some Chinese. Just like Ezra and I used to eat in his little apartment
5 minutes later the food came. I set the bag on the table ready to sit on the couch when the door bell rang. Ezra. He's here. Should feel excited? Or nervous? Both I guess. I opened the door, to see the one person that I was least expecting...
