The Mafia Donna and her Queen

Secrets, secrets

Ariana pov

So today is the first day of shooting the music video for Positions and I'm a mix of nervous and excited. I'm excited to finally be doing a visual tribute for my baby, but I'm nervous because I still haven't told her Scotty isn't shooting it with me since he's hurt. What I don't know how to tell her is that Ricky is filling his role. I kinda found out 2 weeks ago and when she finds that information out, I know shell be even more pissed at me. Y/n obviously knows who my ex's are and I wouldn't be surprised if she has soldiers keep an eye on them. I need to be the one to tell her before someone else does. That would be catastrophic. I kinda also need to tell her I had lunch with Ricky yesterday along with other people from my team of course. Ricky just happened to be there at the lunch meeting. But the paps were definitely in the area, and I know they'll make it out to be something its not. I'm currently in the kitchen stress cooking while I wait for Y/n to wake up when I feel arms snake around my waist causing me to jump.

"It's ok baby. It's just me." Y/n says with a small laugh.

I turn in her arms and peck her lips. "Morning my love. You just startled me is all."

She looks at me worriedly "What's the matter baby?" Ugh sometimes I hate she knows me so well.

I move from her grip and start playing with my fingers as I look at the ground. "So I'm filming a video today and Scotty twisted his ankle, so management found a sub for him."

She puts her fingers under my chin and lift it up. "Is that all baby? Why are you acting so nervous?" She chuckles.

"It's Ricky." I mumble at a barely audible volume.

"I'm sorry, I don't think I heard that right."

"It's Ricky, and before you say anything I-I want you to know I did everything I could to get them to change their minds, but they trust him since he's a quick study and he was available." I rush out basically in tears.

I see a look of anger cross her face, but she quickly softens. "Baby why are you so upset? I'm not mad at you if that's what you think."

"Y-you're not? You're amazing Y/n. I just hate that he's gonna be a part of my tribute to you." I smile at her and try to pull her into a kiss only for her to lean away and I look at her confused.

"Don't get too happy by my reaction baby. I'm coming to the shoot to make sure dickwad knows his place and not to touch what's mine." She leaves me there stunned and goes to get dressed to leave.

Y/n POV

I run up the stairs leaving a speechless Ari in the kitchen. Don't get me wrong I'm irritated Ricky is gonna be around her, but I'm not worried. I pick out an outfit Ari bought for me and as I am getting ready I see Ari's unused birth control in the trash. I make a note to ask her about it later because right now I need to make sure he doesn't get handsy with my baby.

Ariana POV

All the way to the shoot Y/n is blaring my new album and loving it. I think what surprised me most is that she could actually kinda sing. I loved this goofy, playful side of Y/n. I know in her line of work she probably can't show any emotions, but I love that she can be her full self with me.

We arrive on set and within 5 seconds of being in the building, none other than Ricky comes up to me and tries to hug me. Luckily Y/n deflects for me and sticks her hand out as she steps in front of me for him to shake. "Hey, I'm Y/n, Ariana's girlfriend. She's mentioned you in past conversation."

He shakes her hand and I can see pain on his face and realize she's squeezing the shit out of it. Once I decide he's had enough, I put my hand on her low back and she releases him.
