Ariana Grande

"Oh my God! I'm literally about to die. Can I please have a picture?" A girl asks.

"Sure."

"Your baby is so freaking cute!"

"Thank you. You're so sweet." I giggle.

We pose for a picture even though Jaycee refuses to smile.

"Thank you so much for the picture!"

"You're welcome." Justin says.

"Lola!" A woman yells from the door.

"Coming mom! Well, I have to go. Thanks again."

"You're welcome again." Justin says.

I roll my eyes.

"You're not funny."

"My new friend Lola seemed to think so."

"Lola was just being nice."

"Don't hate."

"I don't have to hate. Everyone likes me better, anyway." He chuckles.

"Oh, really?"

"Of course."

"OK, you keep telling yourself that."

We continue walking in silence until we pass a jewelry store.

"Ariana?"

"What?"

"When are we gonna get married?"

"Shit, Justin. Where did that come from?"

"Well, we just passed a jewelry store, so..."

"OK, that's valid. But I really haven't thought about that in a long time."

"That's obvious."

"I know. But, maybe we can start talking about that now. It's kind of important."

"Yeah. Kind of."

"Shut up. We can finish this at home."

"Can we go to Baby Gap?" I ask.

"Oh, sure. Because our daughter doesn't already have enough clothes."

"Hahaha. Funny."

"I know. I'm hilarious." We walk into the store and end up buying even more clothes for Jaycee.

"I'm telling you. She doesn't need anything else."

"And I'm telling you. No one can ever have enough stuff."

"Okay, whatever."

"Go by yourself something then. I don't give a fuck what it is."

"Ariana, you have on $800 shoes. You obviously never give a fuck what it is."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You know what it means. Come on." He grabs my hand and walks to Game Stop.

"Of course."

"Shut up. I'm taking you to that girl named Tiffany's store."

"That girl named Tifffany? Sounds good to me." I stay quiet, playing with Jaycee while Justin looks for whatever he wants.

"Ari, let's go." I look up and see Justin standing by the door.

When we go inside the store, Justin tells me to stay by the door again and walks to the counter. He says something to the woman standing there and she goes through a door, coming back a few minutes later with a small blue box.

"Oh my God, what did he do?" I whisper.

Jaycee giggles, as if she knows something, then goes back to biting her thumb.

"All right. Where do you wanna go next?" Justin says.

"Doesn't matter."

"We'll just walk around then."

Now I'm gonna be thinking about what's in that goddamn box all day.
