Acting in Love

I'll do it

I wake up in a lonely bed. Ricky knows I fucking hate that. I want to fall asleep in his arms, and wake up next to him.

I hobble my sleepy ass over to the bathroom. I brush my teeth & hair and wash my face.

On the way down the stairs I put my hair up in a ponytail. I make it all the way down the stairs and into the kitchen.

I catch Ricky cooking food while dancing with Toulouse to 'Blue Suede Shoes' by Elvis

"Umm what are you doing?" I giggle making him completely stop

"Dancing with T obviously, sheesh Ariana keep up" he says sarcastically as he continues

"Your ridiculous I swear" I laugh "So what did you make?"

"Raspberry pancakes, your favorite" he says putting down Toulouse and walking over to the food. He's about to touch the plates but before he can I stop.

"What are you doing !? You just picked up the dog and now you want to pick up the food. Um no, I'll take the food to the table, you go wash you hands" I say waking in front of him pressing on his chest with a single finger.

"You know you love it" he smirks pulling me closer

"Whatever" I roll my eyes as Ricky attacks my neck with sweet morning kisses "Stop stop" I giggle pushing him over to the sink.

I bring the plates over to the table and Ricky finally comes and sits with me with freshly washed hands.

We start talking and Ricky told me one of his close high school friends' birthday is in a couple days and that he wants me to come. "Yeah of course I wanna come, it'll be fun meeting your friends" I beam making Rick grin ear to ear.

It was a perfect little morning moment until that creeping thought came back to me.

"Ricky what am I going to do about the whole Mac thing" I ask laying my head on my fist "I need your input"

"Hey, don't let me interfere with your job. If they want you to do this, I think you should babe" he responds "And your by far, one of the best actors I know, so you'll be perfect"

"You really think I should?"

"Yeah do it" he smiles at me. Ricky is always filling me with confidence and I utterly love it and him.

"Okay well I should probably go email them back and when I come back we can just hang or go do something" I say getting up and giving him a kiss. I go to grab my plate but Ricky stops "Don't worry I got it" he winks so I just jog up the stairs and into my room.

Rickys Pov :

I watch as Ariana and her cute little body go up the stairs. I groan to my self as I pick up both plates and take them to the sink. I get lost in the suds as I start thinking about how this is even going to work. So he gets Ariana in the days and publicly and I get her at night and privately? I don't even know Mac Miller and I already know he's not good enough for her. Nobody is good enough for her ; not even me sometimes. One thing I do know for sure is that I'm going to stand by Ariana throughout this whole experience.

I'm abruptly interrupted by Strauss barking at me "Same little dude .... same" I sigh rubbing his soft little head.

Arianas Pov :
I get up to my room and pick my laptop up from the spot it was placed last night. I take it to my bed and start writing a response. If im going to do this I'm doing it on my own terms. In my short email I tell them that I'll do it but I don't want to start until next week. I send it and they surprisingly respond quickly.

They tell me that it's fine, and fill me in on the rest of what is supposed to happen, I just agree and tell them okay.

I close my laptop and go back down stairs. I walk into the living room to find Ricky watching a Baseball game.

"I didn't know you liked Baseball" I say sitting next to him

"Yeah, I uh used to play in High School"

"Really ? Why haven't I known this ??"

"You never asked" he smirks making me laugh

"Okay well  I just finished reading the email they sent me and we went back in forth with the technicalities. I am still going to your Friends party this weekend with you so that's good but after that were supposed to not been seen together. Then I'm apparently supposed to tweet out some cryptic stuff basically saying that we broke up. Then maybe a week after that I need to start hanging out with him then officially start dating him, basically until a few months after his album drops then we will break up" I look at Rickys sad face and I feel so bad " And your absolutely sure your okay with this"

"Of course" he says taking my hand in his and kissing it lightly and sweetly

Wow I love this man

I move onto his lap and wrap my arms around his neck as I place my lips on his. His lips are a little rough like sand, but it's a good kind of rough.

Rick continues to taunt me and I finally give in and grant him entrance to inside my mouth. He grabs my thighs and without even thinking they automatically wrap around his toned waistline.

Ricky gets with me still on his and we stay connected by the lips all the way to our bedroom. He struggles to turns the knob but he finally does and we go in. I try to find the door with my empty hand to close it but it's kind of hard when your mind is completely focused on something else.

Let's just say if my neighbors weren't already wake, they sure as hell were now
