You Played Me (A Kevin Alston Fanfic)

ch. 23

> Ari's POV <
once we were done cleaning, i left the bathroom and went upstairs. i heard kevin following me.

"baby what chu doing?" he asked.

"i'm going to go put on some makeup," i replied, entering the bathroom as he continued to follow.

i grabbed out my small makeup bag from the cabinet as kev yanked it out of my hand and put it back.

"nah not today," he said, putting it back in the cabinet, "you're already gorgeous and i wanna show off my girl's natural beauty."

i blushed ode.

"aw kev," i smiled at him yet with a little frown.

he smiled back at me and walked out of the bathroom, i was now following him. we went back downstairs and entered the living room. "hold up shawty, imma plan a few things and we'll get going."

he took his phone out of the pocket in his hoodie, and started typing something, walking out of the living room and into the kitchen.

i shrugged and sat on the couch, scrolling through my phone for a few minutes.

i got bored on my phone, and got up from the couch. i walked over to the kitchen doorway and peeped inside to see what kevin was doing.

"ok... thank you, bye," he said, into the phone. he removed it from his ear and started typing again, as he started to quietly sing,

"girl let me love you, and i will love you
until you learn, to love yourself" (a/n: if you wanna listen to it, the song is up in the header)

he sounded so amazing. his voice could put you in a trance.

"girl let me love you, i know your trouble
don't be afraid, girl let me help"

i smiled at the sound of him and tip toed over to him, wrapping my arms around his waist. he put his phone down on the counter and turned around to face me. he was blushing at the fact that i heard him singing.

"ugh you sounded so good. you're so talented baby," i said, giving him a peck on the lips.

he smiled and looked at the ground, which was adorable.

i let go of him after a few seconds, as he picked up his phone and shoved it into his back pocket.

he took his car keys out of his pocket as well, and said, "we should go now, i wanna spend the day with you."

"really?" i asked with a little smile.

"yeah, and the night." he winked at me which made me wanna tackle him and bring him into my bed.

i bit my lip as he walked out of the kitchen, with me behind. we walked out the front door as i locked up, and made our way down the driveway to his car.

he opened the passenger door for me and then made his way to the drivers side.

he got in and started the car.

i rested my head on my hand, as my elbow sat on the edge of the window. the window was rolled down and as he started to drive, the cold, brisk wind brushed against my face causing my eyes to feel heavy.

> Kevin's POV <
i turned to my right for a second and saw ari was falling asleep.

i just continued to drive.

i didn't want her to see me like this.

the emotions that i was feeling finally rushed in, causing me to tense up. i didn't wanna tell her what was going on. i didn't wanna ruin her day.

things weren't going too well back home. i just needed to be away for a little.

the thoughts and memories of my mom, my sister, and i yelling at each other flowed through my head. i could hear every word that was said during that time; which was only last night.

my dad had called, and i didn't want to hear him. he always tries to talk to me, but, i don't care. he left. shari listens, though. she always tries to force me to at least hold the phone, but i don't want that.

and guess what?

he's coming to visit today. and yes, this gave me an even better excuse to spend the whole day with ariana.

but i'm not going to tell her about what's going on.

i pulled into the parking lot of our destination. i didn't move. didn't budge. nothing. my hands were tightly gripped on the steering wheel, as i breathed in and out heavily.

> Ari's POV <
my eyes fluttered open as i noticed that we were settled in a parking lot. it was quiet.

i turned to face kev, noticing he was tense. his fists were strongly attached to the steering wheel, even though he was already parked.

his jawline was clenched, and his eyes were quite glossy. he was staring at the window in front of him.

"kev?" i whispered.

he flinched, and shook his head, "oh uh, l-lets go."

he pulled the key out of the ignition and hopped out of the car. i opened my door, and got out too. he locked up and walked over to me, putting my hand in his.

he let out a sigh and continued to lead me to wherever we were going. it looked like a little restaurant of some sort. there were no windows, though.

"kev are you ok?" i asked, stopping in my tracks.

he turned to me, with a soft smile displayed on his face.

"yes babygirl, now let's go."
