*The Next Day*

Well....today's finally the day! My date with Chris is today and I'm very excited but also so very nervous about it too, because I really just want everything to go well and not terrible. And I'm so nervous that I feel like I'm about to throw up.

"You look like you're about to be sick, mommy" Riley stated as she looked up at me while Lisa applied a little bit of blush to my cheeks.

"I unfortunately feel like I'm about to be sick sweetheart" I said as I looked down and faintly smiled at Riley as I brushed back some of her hair.

"Are you getting a cold?" Riley asked as she leaned up and placed her hand on my forehead to take my temperature.

I couldn't help but chuckle at that as I sat Riley up on my lap. "I'm not getting a cold sweetheart, mommy just feels like she's going to be sick because she's very nervous about her date tonight."

"Oh" Riley said as she made an 'o' shape with her mouth, making Lisa and I laugh a little. "So you're going to be okay?"

"Hopefully" I said as I smiled at her before kissing her forehead, making her smile at me.

"How nervous are you Ariana?" LIsa asked with a faint smile.

"Very" I said with a deep breath as I sunk down in the chair I'm sitting down on in the bathroom a bit.

"Why are you nervous mommy?" Riley asked as she looked up at me with a curious look.

"Mommy just doesn't want anything horrible to happen on my date with Chris tonight and I also don't want to embarrass myself either" I said with a nervous/faint smile.

Riley and Lisa both faintly smiled at me again as Lisa placed a hand on my shoulder and the other on my cheek.

"You're not going to embarrass yourself Ariana, you're going to be just fine. Just keep yourself cool and calm tonight. Don't think about about any bad that you think might happen on the date tonight because I bet there's a very high possibility that, that won't happen. And just be yourself and only yourself because THAT is what my son likes most about you and feel for you in the first place. And trust me I would know this because he told me" Lisa said making Riley and I laugh a little. Lisa smiled at that for that. "And just have a wonderful date with him, okay?"

I smiled back at Lisa for that as I nodded my head. "Okay."

Lisa smiled at me again before she pulled Riley and I into a hug. We both smiled and chuckled at that as we hugged her back.

"Thank you Lisa, I needed to hear that" I said.

"You're welcome, and I'm always happy to help you out" Lisa pulled away and smiled at me again. "Now go, go and have a nice night out and wonderful date with Chris" Lisa said as she took Riley from me before she started to playfully nudge me towards the bathroom door.

I couldn't help but laugh at that a bit as I started to walk towards the door.

"Wait mommy!" Riley shouted as she wiggled out of Lisa's arms before running into our bedroom.

"What is it sweetheart?" I asked.

"You can't go on your date without this!" Riley shouted from the room before running back into the bathroom with a small grey clutch with a metal strap in her hands. That goes good with my outfit. (Outfit below)

    I smiled at that as I bent down and took the hand bag from Riley

I smiled at that as I bent down and took the hand bag from Riley. "Thank you my little fashionista."

"You're welcome mommy" Riley said as she smiled at me before giving me a hug. "Have fun on your date."

"I will and you be a good girl for both grandpa, Chris' parents and Scott, okay?" I said with a smile as I pulled out of our hug. And yes all four of them offered to watch Riley while Chris and I are gone because they all love her very much.

"I promise" Riley said with a smile as she nodded her head.

"Pinky promise?" I asked with a little smirk as I held my pinky up towards Riley.

Riley giggled at that as she wrapped her pinky around mine. "Pinky promise."

"Good" I said as I smiled at Riley again and kissed her cheek before I stood up straight and walked out of our bathroom and into the living room. Where Scott and his had are sitting down watching TV. But Chris isn't here.

Where is he?

"Wow! Ariana you look amazing" Scott said as he sat up from the couch a bit and looked at me in a bit of shock.

"Thank you" I said as I smiled at Scott and tucked a bit of my hair behind my ear.

"You're welcome" Scott said as he smiled back at me and let Riley jump up onto his lap.

"And Chris is downstairs in the main lobby waiting for you, if you're wondering where he is" Bob said with a little smile. I smiled at Bob for that before saying goodbye to everyone and heading down to the lobby to meet up with Chris.

When I got down to the lobby, I started to look around for Chris and soon found him standing near the carousel in the lobby with a bouquet of Lilies and pink roses in his hands. Which are actually my favorite flowers.

I smiled at that as I started to walk over to him and as I walked over to him I looked at his appearance and found him looking very handsome. He's wearing a grey suit jacket, white button up shirt, black jeans and brown boots. And his hair is spiked up a bit but mostly brushed to the side. But in all he looked very nice and handsome.

"Chris?" I said, a bit nervous, once I got over to Chris.

Chris jumped a little at that, thanks to him staring into space, as he quickly looked over at me. But as soon as he did, his eyes widen in a bit of shock once he looked at me. That made me blush a bit as I nervously bit my lip a little.

"Woah....you look, absolutely amazing Ariana" Chris said as he smiled at me and continued to look at me in a bit of shock but also amazement, making me blush more.

"Thank you" I said as I smiled back at Chris and tucked some hair behind my ear again. "You look very nice too."

"You're welcome and thank you as well" Chris said as he continued to smile at me.

"You're welcome" I said as I smiled back at Chris again.

Chris just smiled at me as he handed me the flowers. "You still like lilies and pink roses, right?"

"I will always love lilies and pink roses" I said with a little smile/smirk making Chris and I both chuckle a bit as I took a little sniff of the flowers.

"Good" Chris said with a smile as he extended his hand out to me. "Ready to go?"

"Mhm" I mumbled a bit with a smile as I nodded my head and took hold of his hand.

Chris smile at me as he gave my hand a little squeeze before him and I am walked outside and over to a dark blue car, that I guess Chris rented or something.

Chris helped me into the car once we got over to it and closed my door for me before running over to the driver side and hopping into the car himself.

"So where are we going for our date, Mr Evans?" I asked as me and Chris buckled up.

"Not saying.....it's a surprise remember?" Chris asked with a little smirk.

I let out a little annoyed huff, making Chris laugh a little.

"But don't worry it's going to be worth the wait" Chris said as he took hold of my hand again and gave it another squeeze. "I promise"

I just smiled at Chris again, making Chris smile back at me too as he started the car up before pulling out of the parking spot and starting to drive out of the hotel parking lot and towards the place where our date will be.
