ariana's pov:

"WAS it worth the wait?"

Those were the words she responded with last night. The rest of the night was amazing, as per usual when hanging out with Y/n Y/l/n.

   We watched movies, snacked, drank (which includes alcohol but only a little bit), and cuddled until we fell asleep. It was cliché, but the perfect kind.

I woke up kind of early today. Well, for a Thursday it was honestly pretty late. I got lucky with the free schedule today.

Y/n was still asleep once I had finally gotten out of bed. I decided she needed some sleep so I didn't bother to wake her; instead quietly entering her bathroom.

I brushed my teeth, fixed my hair and then changed my clothes. They were still comfortable as I didn't pack anything extravagant. I put on some deodorant and sprayed a little perfume before leaving the bathroom.

   When I walked out, Y/n was still asleep but in a really weird, uncomfortable-looking position.

It made me giggle, so I quickly grabbed my phone and took a picture. I went to my Instagram and put the picture on my story. I captioned it 'sleepyhead 😭🖤' and then tip toed out of her room.

I made it down to her kitchen and immediately started looking around; praying she had something that would respect my diet.

However, after spending well over 10 minutes checking and double checking her cabinets — and fridge, I came up empty-handed.

Ordering out it is.

I went to DoorDash and started searching for one of my favorite vegan restaurants. I took a seat on Y/n's living room couch while scrolling.

After finding the place and ordering my food, I got Y/n a little something she might like and then checked Apple Maps to find her address. I entered it and luckily the stupid ass app didn't require me to change store location. I left a $15 tip and pressed order.

I started looking around, trying to figure out what to do while I wait. I checked the time and it was well pass 10:30. For a second, I considered going upstairs and waking Y/n up. I contemplated it for 5 minutes straight before ultimately deciding against it.

She's been traveling a lot; working her ass off and she flew early to surprise me. We stayed up pretty late last night and she deserved some good sleep.

Five more minutes pass and I'm dying of boredom. Curiosity had finally gotten the best of me as I started venturing around Y/n's beautiful home. It wasn't as big as mine — not that I minded, but she still had 2 levels and the house was quite large width wise. She also had a basement.

so, technically 3 levels but whatever

   I decided to go to the basement first.

   I was in amazement. The second I touched the cold, concrete floor and rubbed my shoulders to find some warmth down here; I immediately noticed the little chill spot somebody had set up.
