The Encounter ☾Justin & Ariana

t w e n t y - s e v e n

Ariana's POV
It was the day of Justin's first concert, on the second leg of his tour. Lots of rehearsing. Lots of non-stop work.
Hours go by and we can hear the arena slowly filling up with people. I was in the dressing room, and I had an outfit on, and I had Daniel fly here this weekend to do my makeup, and someone did my hair for me.
Justin walked in, looking all cute, and I got up.

"Hey, handsome." I said walking over to him giving him a big kiss, and then wrapping my arms around him.

I turned around, looking at Daniel and the hair stylist, signaling for them to give us space, and they rushed out. I held Justin's hands in mine, looking down at them, and then back up at him.
"Nervous?" He asked.
"A little...you?"
"A little." He said grinning.

I put my hands up, holding his face.

"You'll do great. You've been doing great. We'll do great." I said, reassuringly.

He looked at me and smiled.
"I love you." He said.
I kissed him, and then put our heads together.
"I love you more."

Scooter walked in.
"Hey, sorry to interrupt, but show starts in 10." He said, quickly.
We both walked out holding hands tightly. We gathered all dancers and us together forming a circle.
Justin said a prayer.
"Let's do great out there. Give our all. I'm thankful for each and everyone of you here. Let's do this!"
We all put out hands in the middle and cheered.
All the lights turned off, signaling that he was about to start, and the crowd went wild. He put his ear peace in and mic, and then walked up to the box. He stepped inside and then, the beginning of "Mark My Words" started playing. He turned back around, and quickly ran out the box running to me.

"What are you doing?" I said, laughing.
"Wish me luck?" He said.
I gave him a kiss, grabbing onto his collar.
"Good luck."
He ran back inside, and the box started going up again.
I could hear him. It sounded even more angelic live.

After a few performances, ending with drums, it was my turn. We were going to sing our "What Do You Mean? (Remix)" that I was featured in. He started singing, and they had me already prepped up on a box that rose to the stage.
He began singing, and I only start in the second verse. I stood, waiting for my part, dwindling with my fingers. Slowly, the platform began rising, and I started singing, causing everyone to freak out even more.
"Ariana Grande, everybody!" He yelled, while I sang.
He walked over to me, holding my hand, bringing me down to center stage. It was like we were the only ones in the room. No one else.

      After WDYM we sang "As Long As You Love Me". He kept wrapping his arms around me, or playing with my hair, but I would walk away not to cause too much PDA.

   After, I sang "Dangerous Woman" and "Into You". As I was walking off the stage, Justin came out to hug me.
  "Wasn't she great, everybody?!" He asked, and the crowd cheered. He gave me the biggest smile. I gave him a quick kiss, and held his hand as he walked me off stage.
    The night continued, with his show, and I stood front row with Scooter. Cheering for him. He seemed happier. It made me happy.
