   IT'S been about a week since everything happened. I've talked to Alexa a couple times over the topic and just catching up. Ari and I have been inseparable. Our building relationship is thriving and I'm honestly the happiest I've been in a while. Even if we're taking things slow.

   I haven't heard from my father since that morning, either. I was thankful for that. Maybe he'll disappear again on a 'business trip'.

   I chuckled, about to press the button when her face covered my entire screen. My smile grew, seeing as she couldn't wait long enough for me to call her. Of course, I accepted the call.

Her live, moving face was in front of me in seconds. Those big brown eyes stared into the screen intently whilst holding an adorable smile.

"Hiii, baby." She squeaked at the end a little bit. I swear I was melting, in a complete cuteness overload.

she makes me so cheesy, ew

I don't think my cheeks could handle a larger smile. "Hey, Ari," I licked my lips, watching her every movement. "you look cute." I saw her blush and sheiled the camera from her entire face. Instead, I only saw her hair, a bit of her nose, and her big eyes.

"Stoppp," She whined; I could hear the smile even if I couldn't see it. I cheesed. "I'm sorry! It's the truth." Ari giggled. My heart clenched.

"Whatcha doin', Y/nn?" She changed the topic, now showing her whole face. I hold up one of my pamphlets.

"Work. I'm reading over the script and everything. Studying, basically." I watched the Italian smile and then bite her bottom lip. "That's hot. Where're your glasses?" I panned the camera over to my desk for a quick glimpse. I then swiftly turned it back to me.

"Right there. I took 'em off while I was textin' you back." Ariana's finger was now dancing along her lips, drawing my attention instantly.

"Put 'em on." She said nothing else — watching me expectantly. Like an obedient puppy, I grabbed my reading glasses on my desk and placed my phone on my lap to put them on.

I fixed them on my nose and then looked down at the camera. The sneaky fuck managed to get a screenshot in before I picked up the phone.
