*Ariana's POV*
The party soon ended and the people that were hired to clean were done doing their job. Aaron was the last one to leave.
"It was nice meeting you Ariana." He smiled at me.
"You too." I smiled. We hugged and then he kissed me lightly on the cheek. Oh My God. Aaron Craft just kissed me on the cheek!
"Call me if you are ever in Ohio." He said as he opened up the front door. We exchanged numbers during the party.
"Call me if you are ever in LA." I said.
"I sure will." He smiled. He then walked out of the house. I still can't believe I partied with Aaron Craft!
I heard my parents, Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Nancy talking in the backyard so I went back there.
"There's the birthday girl!" Dad smiled. All four of them cheered and I smiled.
"Here I am." I smiled. I sat down in one of the patio chairs.
"So did you have fun tonight?" Jess smiled at me.
"Yes!" I smiled. "I still can't believe I met Aaron." I said.
"You get those digits girl?" Aunt Nancy laughed. I pulled out the piece of paper with his number on it and smiled.
"I sure did." I smiled. They all laughed except for Dad.
"Oh hell no! You are not going to date a twenty three year old!" He said.
"Dad we aren't going to date!" I said. I then looked at everyone. "But if he wants to we can." I smiled.
"Nope." He shook his head.
"I'm just kidding Dad." I laughed.
"You better be." He said.
"Justin if she falls in love with Aaron we can't stop her." Jess told him.

"I'm already in love." I smiled. Dad is so hating this. This is so funny! I looked over at Uncle Jimmy and he is laughing quietly.
"I'm dying." Uncle Jimmy laughed. "This is just to funny." He laughed. Soon we all were laughing.
"Dad, Aaron sadly has a girlfriend. They've been together for three years." I told him.
"Thank God." Dad Said.
"Alright we better get going." Uncle Jimmy said. He and Aunt Nancy hugged us all, and Jess walked them out. It then was just my dad and I in the backyard.
"So I saw Alex." Dad suddenly said. I looked at him.
"You did?" I asked him.
"Yeah. I talked to him too." He told me.
"Really?" I said.
"Yeah." He nodded. It then was a awkward silence until he spoke up. "Do you want to talk about him?" He asked me. I shook my head.
"I'm good." I said.
"You sure?" He asked me.
"Positive." I nodded.
"Absolutely positive?" He asked me.
"Absolutely positive." I nodded.
"Absolutely absolutely positive?" He asked me.
"Really Dad?" I asked him.
"Just making sure." He chuckled.
" Absolutely absolutely positive." I answered him. He nodded his head.
Then Jess came outside.
"C'mon Ariana, we need to have a girl talk." She said. Dad and I looked at each other and then back at Jess.
"Okay." I slowly said. I got up from my chair and walked inside the house with her. We went upstairs to my room.
"So tell me about Alex." She said when she shut the door. "Your dad told me that he was here." She said.
"He told me that he forgives me and that he wants to get back together. So I told him that I'm not ready and he said that he's living in LA now and that he would wait for me." I told her.

"That's so sweet." She smiled.
"I know." I smiled.
"So when you are ready you'll get back together with him?" She smiled.
"Yeah." I smiled and nodded.
"Good because your Dad and I really like him." She smiled at me.
"You do?" I asked her.
"We sure do." She smiled. At least I have their approval!
"Good." I nodded.
"You still like him don't you?" She smiled at me.
"Well who wouldn't! He said he would wait for me! Isn't that so romantic?" I smiled.
"You two are going to get married someday." She smiled. I laughed and nodded.
"That's the same thing Lacy said." I told her.
"Well great minds think alike." She said.
"They sure do." I nodded.
"I better go get ready for bed, I have a photo shoot tomorrow. You wanna come?" She said.
"Sure." I smiled.
"Be ready by seven in the morning." She said.
"Okay." I nodded.
"Night. Love you." She smiled. We hugged and she kissed me on the forehead.
"Night. Love you too." I smiled. She then walked out of my room. Suddenly my phone viberated and I looked at it. It's Alex.
Hey! Coffee tomorrow? We have some catching up to do.
I smiled and texted him back.
I have to go with Jess to her photo shoot tomorrow, but could you pick me up at the photo shoot around ten?
He soon texted me back.
Sure! Text me the address the tomorrow.
Yes!
Okay! So this is just coffee right?
I kind of want it to be more than just coffee.
It can be whatever you want it to be ;)
I laughed and texted him back.
I guess after the coffee I'll decide what it is.
He quickly texted me back.
Alright, do what you want. I just can't wait to have coffee with you.
I smiled and typed on my phone.
Neither can I. I have to go to bed since I have to get up early. Good night Alex :)
I put my phone down and changed into a pair of sweatpants and a t shirt. I sat back down on my bed and looked at my phone.
Sweet dreams, Princess :)
I smiled and put my phone on the nightstand next to my bed. I defiantly will have sweet dreams now.
