*~*~*

The short ride to the hotel felt long as we sat in silence. Each second, I grew more and more nervous. I tried to convince myself I was being silly but every time I looked at Arieon, my breath caught. God, what was wrong with me?

By the time we reached the hotel, I was almost as knotted up as I'd been in Carlie's office. Get it together, girl!

I climbed out of the car on unsteady legs and followed behind Arieon to the hotel restaurant. It was just as nice as he'd said. Gorgeous high ceilings decorated with delicate chandeliers. The aroma of fresh baked bread filled my nose and I breathed it in.

A hostess greeted us as soon as we stepped beneath the arch overhanging the restaurant.

"Just two?" she asked, grinning from ear to ear.

"Yes." Arieon smiled back at her and I immediately regretted the stab of jealousy that worked through my body. He didn't belong to me. He could smile at whatever pretty hostesses he pleased.

I bit down on my lip, resisting the snarl that wanted to sneak its way up as we followed behind the hostess whose ass was just too perfect to be real. She escorted us to a table near the window and pulled out my chair. Normally, I'd have thanked her but I still couldn't seem to suppress the undeserved pettiness I felt toward her.

She'd barely finished placing my napkin in my lap when a chipper waiter floated over to the table.

"Can I interest you in a wine this evening?" he asked as he filled our water glasses.

"We're celebrating," Arieon answered. "What champagne would you suggest?"

The waiter opened his mouth to respond but the hostess moved in front of him, making herself comfortable next to Arieon.

"Congratulations." She laughed as she placed a hand on his shoulder. "What are you celebrating?"

"Our engagement," I said flatly, narrowing my eyes on her.

She blinked and moved her hand away from Arieon. "Oh, my, well," She took a step away from the table. "Congratulations, again."

I watched angrily after her as she made her way back to the front of the restaurant.

"Engaged, huh?"

I turned my attention to Arieon who stared at me with a smirk and a cocked eyebrow. "I guess we'll have whatever champagne the engaged couples usually order," he told the waiter who stared at us adoringly.

"So cute." He put a hand to his chest. "I know the perfect thing." He turned on his heels and disappeared.

I could feel Arieon's eyes on me but refused to look at him.

"So, the best I can figure is that you either temporarily went insane or..."

I met his eyes. "Or what?" I challenged, hoping he'd back down.

"Or you got jealous."

I rolled my eyes. "Maybe both." I let out a breath. God, I was being ridiculous. "I'm sorry." I put my face in my hands. "I'm so embarrassed. That was so stupid. I shouldn't have done that."

Arieon reached out for me and gripped my wrist, pulling it away from my face and holding it in his grasp.
