| Ariel and Jonathan sat by a lake in Orlando and waited for the others to return back home. They went back a few days earlier so Ariel could spend sometime with her family. She hadn�t seen them for a few months and she missed them so much and she wanted to share the good news of her engagement with them. What she didn�t expect was to run into Farah since she still lived in Clearwater and Ariel was now in Orlando.
�Are you happy to be home again?� Jonathan asked, as they watched the sun set. �I know it�s not completely home, but�� �Yeah,� Ariel said. �I�m glad I got to see my family again. Not that I didn�t enjoy my time with you, because I did. Hey, I got engaged.� �I was thinking,� Jonathan said. �About what?� Ariel asked. �About after we get married.� She looked at him. �I know how much you care about your family and your happiness means a lot to me. So I was thinking after the wedding is done and over with, we move here to Orlando or even Clearwater that way you�re closer.� �Seriously? You want to move to Florida?� �I wouldn�t be saying it if I didn�t mean it.� �Wow, this means so much to me.� She hugged him. �I love you.� �I love you too.� He returned the hug and then kissed her. �Hey, since we�re moving here, why don�t we have the wedding in Los Angeles then?� �If ya want that, anything for you.� A shadow fell over them. �Well, well, well, look who it is.� �Farah, hey,� Ariel said getting up and the two girls hugged. �You do remember Jon right?� �Yeah,� Farah said. �It�s good to see you again.� �You too,� Jonathan said. �Did you see the others in Los Angeles?� Farah asked. �Uh-huh,� Ariel said. �They told me what happened in Vegas. How do you feel about yourself?� �In a way stupid,� Farah replied. �But what I did was for the best. I really shouldn�t have caused problems between Loni and Nick though. It was stupid of me to do that.� �Don�t worry too much, because they�re back together and happy as ever,� Ariel stated. �That�s good,� Farah said sitting down. �How mad are they at me?� �I don�t know,� Ariel said. �They didn�t say anything when we saw them and they really didn�t talk about it.� �Oh,� Farah said. �Loni D was still pretty upset about it though,� Ariel replied. �I think it hurt her a lot that someone she considered one of her best friends would do that to her.� �Yeah it was pretty stupid of me,� Farah stated. �But it�s in the past now. No point in dwelling over it.� �If ya say so,� Ariel said. �I don�t think they�ll forget about it as easily as you.� �Right,� Farah said sighing and getting up. �I�m going to go though. I�ll see ya guys later I hope.� �We should see each other,� Ariel said then Farah walked away. �The situation must not bother her any,� Jonathan said. �Well she�s the one who started the whole thing,� Ariel pointed out. �She�s the one that caused problems between them so why should it bother her any?� He looked at her and nodded. �But enough about her let�s talk about us.� �Ooh, what do you have in mind?� Jonathan asked, as Ariel wrapped her arms around him and then kissed him. �Now I see what you have in mind. The same thing that�s on mine.� She smiled and they kissed. CHAPTER 10 HOME |
