Ariana's POV

A couple of weeks had passed and with every day, I got closer to Ross and his family. Rydel apologized for how she treated me when we first met and we've actually become good friends.

When I woke up this morning, Ross was still sleeping and as usual, his arms were wrapped around my waist. His grip wasn't that strong today and I easily managed to slip out of bed.

By the time I had finished freshening up and getting dressed, Ross was still sleeping, now hugging one of our many pillows.

I couldn't help but smile. Our relationship-if you can even call it that-had also progressed. I came to the conclusion that he isn't so bad when he isn't angry at me. He also treats me much better that Aunt Marie ever has-so it only makes sense to enjoy the good things that come with my situation.

I  climbed on top of Ross, straddling him and leaned down to plant a soft kiss on his lips. He opened his eyes and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Good morning." he flashed me a cute smile.

"Good morning." I returned his smile.

He brought one of his hands up to the back of my neck and lowered my head to his, capturing my lips in a sweet kiss.

I felt my face heat up and butterflies filled my stomach. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am now at the mall with Ross and I can tell that he doesn't really want to be here but who cares?

I need clothes and that's all that matters. I am now in the changing room again-this is literally the fifteenth time I've tried on an outfit. No wonder Ross is annoyed.

"What about this one?" I asked, stepping out of the changing room.

I was now wearing a short, pink off the shoulder summer dress. I think it looked cute but I didn't want it if Ross didn't like it. I blinked as he sat there staring at me with his lip between his teeth.

"Ok, so you don't like this one?"

Is he ok?

"Ross!"

"Yeah? What? Huh?" He blinked and looked around as if he was just snapped out of a trance.

"Do you like it or not?" I gripped the hem of the dress.

"Yeah, you look stunning babe." he smirked.

Babe? That's new...not that I mind.

"Thanks. I just want one more thing." I smiled sheepishly raising my index finger.

He sighed and crossed his arms. "That's what you said the last four times." 

"Please? I promise that after I get one more outfit we can leave." I pouted, hoping he would change his mind.

"No. Lets go, I'm holding twelve shopping bags in my hands-what are you gonna do buy the whole store?" he raised a brow at me.

"Please." I whined.

He shook his head "No."

I really wanted another outfit but he wanted to leave. 

Guess I'll just have to change his mind.

 I climbed onto his lap, now straddling him and lowered my lips to his. As soon as he started to kiss me back, I pulled away.

"Let me buy one more outfit and you'll get more than that." I bit my lip, blinking up at him innocently.

He grumbled but agreed after a few seconds.

I got one extra outfit which was a black half top, a thigh-high black pleated skirt and black knee high boots. I was just planning to wear it in the house anyway. Ross then paid for my stuff and we left to go back to the beach house.
