Author's Note: Hey guys, I hope you all are doing good. This isn't a chapter, but these are scenes/moments I've left out of previous chapters that I happened to have leftover. I have this tendency of over writing or starting a chapter but not liking it, so I start a whole new chapter. I'm very critical of my work, so you'd be amazed with how much stuff gets cut out or deleted all together. These are a few of the moments that I liked but got rid of because it simply didn't make my cut then, but now it's making the cut now. I hope you enjoy this fun little Extras chapter and hope it'll tide you over until PART THREE comes up.


EXTRAS: Deleted Moments


[Deleted Scene from: PART ONE- Living Boldly]


[Author's Reason: I deleted this scene because I didn't want to make the chapter too long, so it didn't really push the chapter to meet the page limit I wanted to keep it at. I do like this scene though because it showed the tension between them and how into each other they are.]


Feeling all sorts of frustrated from her earlier call with Jai, Ariana did her best to focus on the things that she could control. Listening through a few tracks that her producer had sent over, Ariana hummed a few melodies that came to mind as she got her clothes together. While she knew she wouldn't get dressed up because she was going to be at the hospital for most of the day, Ariana felt like her grandfather would appreciate that she at least acted some bit of the same. Scooping her clothes up in her arms, Ariana grabbed her grooming bag as she headed towards the bathroom. Immediately opening up the door, Ariana was surprised to see Sean stepping out of the shower.


"Oh, my God!" Ariana quickly replied as she turned away, closing the door behind her


"Ari???" Sean questioned as he grabbed a towel to wrap around his waist


"I'm sorry, I forgot that I told you to use this bathroom, it slipped my mind...." Ariana began to say as Sean opened up the door


"No, you're good. I took longer than necessary" Sean replied as Ariana turned to face him, quickly realizing that they were a mere inch apart. Taking in Sean's chiseled abs as the water dripped down them, Ariana did her best not to stare longer than necessary. Feeling a tension grow between them, Sean gave a nervous laugh that caused Ariana to finally look up.


"I'm sorry..." Ariana blurted out once again as she attempted to leave but was stopped by Sean's sudden hold on her waist


"Ari, wait" Sean told her quickly as he stopped her from leaving. "Stop apologizing for everything" he told her


"I'm sorr...." Ariana began to apologize again


"You're doing it again" Sean laughed as he squeezed on to her waist "Stop apologizing. You don't always have to say sorry, at least not with me" he said in a bit of a whisper that made her heart race with how soothing his words were.


"I can't help it. I feel like I need to, it's a natural habit" Ariana replied as she lowered her head, letting out a little chuckle as she did


"I'm sorry if I over stepped, I just don't like the way ol' boy treats you sometimes. You don't need that, especially with things being the way things are" Sean told her
