Chapter 22

Ariel's POV

"Now you have something to go in here for!" Libby shouts as she points at Victoria Secrets.

"No no, Libby." I pull back from her grasp. "We're just going on a date, not our honeymoon." I state.

Libby rolls her eyes playfully as she speaks, "You're such a bore. Come on, let's try some place else." She pulls me along.

All I said was that Adam and I have a date, and she takes it overboard with shopping.

As cliche as it sounds, Adam says, “it's a surprise,” but says to dress casual nonetheless.

I just wanted to wear a jeans and a t-shirt but Libby being Libby, says that we must go shopping.

We continue walking by stores, when a particular dress caught me eye. It's absolutely beautiful although it gives off more of a casual vibe, which would be perfect for this date.

Libby notices me looking at it and drags me inside the store.

"It's perfect. Let's get it!" She says.

Without waiting for an answer from me, she goes to one of the store assistants and asks them about the dress, I assume.

While I wait for Libby, I spot Liam standing outside talking to a girl that looks about our age. She's average looking, with her black hair that falls to the mid back and thin figure.

A smile makes it's way upon my face as I walk over to them.

"Liam!" I shout as I near them.

He notices me and smiles instantly. The girl turns around to face me.

"Hey." I say once I arrived.

"Hey, Ariel." He says giving me a quick hug in which I gladly return.

I turn to the girl and she looks even prettier up close. I give Liam an expectant look and he replies.

"Oh!  Ariel, this is Miranda. My sister." He says.

"I didn't know you had a sister." I smile at both of them.

"Twins actually." She corrects laughing lightly.

I give both of them a look since they really have no common features.

"Fraternal." She quickly says resulting in me making an 'O' shape with my mouth.

"So, uh, Ariel. What are you doing here?" Liam asks.

"Libby and I are here shopping for something for my date tonight." I say.

"He asked you out?" Liam asked surprised.

"Oh yeah! I didn't tell you! He did!" I lightly squeal.

"Wow, Ariel that's great!" He smiles at me and hugs me again.

"I'm so lost here." Miranda says smiling.

"Well-" I begin explaining.

"Ariel! I got it and only at half pr-" Libby starts but stops when she sees Liam.

They both look at each other as if they're the only people in the room. Miranda and I give each other confused faces but as if we have the both brain, we smile evilly.

"Hello?! We're still here." Miranda shouts amusingly.

Both if them snap out if their trance at the same time and look at us.

"Right, uh, I got the dress." Libby tells me, side glancing at Liam.

"Nice. Look, Miranda and I feel the need to... bond. Liam would you have a problem taking Libby home?"

"Uh, no, not at all." Liam says.

"Good!" I reply.

"Come on, let's go, Miranda." I continue.

We walk off and look back at Liam and Libby to find them awkardly standing there.

"They're in love." Miranda laughs as we walk.

I chuckle and look at her. "What about you? Got a boyfriend?" I tease.

"Who me?" I nod. "Nah, every guy I use to bring about was scared off by Liam so I came to the conclusion that I'm gay." She says surprising me.

"Oh.."

"Yeah.. men are trash anyways." She smiles.

"Eh." I say in return.

----------------------

I made it to Libby's place safely after driving her car careful not to crash it.

I unlock the door and crash myself on the couch.

I hate shopping.

Just then, my phone rings.

"Hello."

"Hey honey, how's everything going."

"Mom? How's Grandma?" I ignore her question.

"Well, I have excellent news. She's doing a lot better."

"That's great! When can I see her?" I say sitting up straighter.

"Hold your horses there.." My mother laughs. "...we'll be home in a couple of days."

After speaking to my mother, I couldn't help but smile. I'm going to see my grandmother again! I thank the Lord that she's okay.

"What's got you showing that beautiful smile?" I hear a voice say.

I turn in the direction and see Adam there in all of his glory. He takes a seat next to me on the couch.

"It's about my grandmother."

"Is she doing alright?" He asks worriedly.

"Yeah." I say, small tears in my eyes. I don't know what I would have done if something happened to her.

"Shh. It's okay. She's doing alright." He kisses the tears on my cheeks as he hugs me.

I inhale his scent, knowing that he's right.

Everything is just right.

=_==_==_==_==_==_==_==_==_=

I hate homework. My teacher just gave me a while chunk of it or not this might've been out a bit sooner.

Anyways, there you go!
