And He Calls Me Moonlight Too

We'll Be Alright

I drove after her, not even thinking about taking it off. I needed to comfort her and apologize. Shit. I messed up.

Ricky's POV

I had been driving for about 20 minutes when I got a phone call. I immediately grabbed my phone, hoping it was Ariana. It was my sis Ryann. She asked me why I left so urgently and if I was planning on coming back any time soon.

"Ryann, I'm so sorry! I know you just got back from Australia and I really want to spend time with you but there's something I need to fix right now. I accidentally hurt the girl of my dreams and there's a chance I screwed up for real.."

Ryann: "oh my Ricky.. You're such a trouble maker! Go make things right with her. I'll be home when you need me and you can always call me. I just wanted to know where you were going. Good luck bro. I love you!

"Thanks Ri, love you too"
I ended the call and tried to call Ariana again. Maybe she cooled down by now..

*beep* *beep* *beep* "hii!"

"ARI FINALLY!" Butterflies fluttered inside my belly.

"this is the voicemail of Ariana Grande Butera. I can't pick up the phone right now but I'll try to call back as soon as possible. For any business requirements, call my manager Scooter Braun. Thanks, bye!"

My eyes got teary. For just a split second I thought every little thing was gonna be alright.. I decided not to call her anymore. This needed to be said in person anyway. I turned on the radio for some distraction. 30 more minutes.
"Cause if you want to keep me, you gotta gotta gotta gotta got to love me harder. love me harder"
"And if you really need me, you gotta gotta gotta gotta got to love me harder. Baby love me harder"
"Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh, love me, love me love me" I turned the volume down. A tear rolled down my cheeck. Why now?! She's right though, I need her and I want to keep her and I must show that by loving her harder. Well, I don't mean loving her harder as in fucking her harder. I mean loving her harder as in showing my love for her more, making her feel like a princess.

I drove through the busy streets of New York until I found a florist. I bought 100 lavender roses. It cost me my monthly paycheck but it's worth it. She deserves a proper apology.

I walked up to her apartment and just when I was about to knock on the door I got an idea. I texted her the same thing she texted me when she stood in front of my door.

Me: Hey Ariana! Might wanna open your front door.. Your future is waiting for you💭

Ariana😍❤️: We don't have a future anymore Ricky.. You don't deserve to have me in your future. Have fun being many other girls futures, but not mine. I deserve someone who treats me right. Someone who loves me and me alone. Someone who loves being with me. That's not you apparently.

Me: You will never know if we have a future if you don't open the door for me.. Why won't you let me explain? You'll see that this is all a misunderstanding. I can easily text you what's going on but I want to tell you in person because you deserve a proper apology. I made a mistake by not telling you something which led to this misunderstanding. Now will you open the door for me or do you want me to text you what you really saw?

Ariana😍❤️: ugh fine. I'll give you 5 minutes. The front door is open.

Me: thanks Ari! I promise you won't regret it🙏🏼

I opened her front door and stepped inside her apartment. It was awfully quiet. The only sounds I heard were her sniffing and my footsteps.

"Ari? What room are you in?"

"I'm upstairs in my bedroom" a sad little voice cried.

I walked up the stairs and slowly opened the door. There she was. She was laying in her bed. Tears streaming down her face. Mascara everywhere, all over the bedsheets. Her hair messed up and comfi clothes. Still the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. Still the love of my life. Still the one I want to grow old with.

"Hii angel" I whispered as I walked up to her bed. I sat down besides her and put my arm around her. She broke down in tears, yes, even more tears. I didn't know I could ever make someone feel this bad.. She layed her head on my shoulder and asked "why Ricky? Why did you hurt me like this?"

"Babe, the girl you saw me with was my sister Ryann.. It was all my fault because I never told you I had any siblings. But yeah, she is my younger sister and she just got back from backpacking in Australia. She came totally unexpected, that's why I didn't tell you before that had plans already. I didn't immediately open the door because Ryann literally came home about 5 minutes before you arrived so I was just hugging her and giving her kisses because I had missed her. I hadn't seen her in 3 months.. Ohh, Ariana I'm so so sorry!!" I handed her the big bouquet of  lavender roses and a cute little smile appeared on her face.

"I don't know if I should believe you but something is telling me that you aren't lying. I'm so sorry that I didn't even wanna listen to your side of the story.. I just really like you and it broke my heart to see the way you looked at her. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so jealous. I know we've only been on one date but it just feels like we've been hanging out for so much longer! I never want to lose you Ricky" she kissed my cheek. I lifted her chin with my finger and gave her a soft peck on the lips. I knew it, we'll be alright.
