Ariana's p.o.v

We had watched every Harry Potter there was. I loved being this close to Ricky again, I missed him so much. I had never really thought about how much I had hurt him when I broke up with him until he made me promise to never break his heart and hurt him again.

My stomach started to rumble when the movie was ending and I hadn't realized that I haven't had anything to eat in awhile. Ricky noticed that I was hungry because he started to shuffle from under me.

Ricky- are you hungry?

Ariana- yeah but I don't want to move from this spot.

Ricky- yeah but you need to eat. You haven't had any food in days and you need to be healthy.

Ariana- I know, I know. 10 more minutes then we'll get up.

Ricky- no we'll get up now. I've loved having this time with you but you need to eat and I have to pee

Ariana- (rolls eyes) fine

I get up and go in the kitchen to get something to eat. I decide to get a fruit salad and it was delicious. I had all of it gone by the time Ricky came back. I get out another one and eat that one a little slower.

Ricky- (chuckles) see I told you

Ariana- whatever. So what do you want to do now?

Ricky- swim?

Ariana- sure. Do you have trunks to wear?

Ricky- yeah because I take them everywhere with me

Ariana- don't get all sarcastic now. Come one I still have a pair of yours upstairs

Ricky- is there anything of mine that you don't have? Why did you keep it

Ariana- I don't know but aren't you glad that I did. I also have an outfit of yours, some shoes, couple extra shirts, shorts, jeans, and some of your bandanas

Ricky- okay. Now you just sound creepy

We get to my closet and I go to the back of it and get him his trunks. I pull them out and turn around to walk out when I just run into Ricky. Didn't expect him to follow me in here.

Ricky- sorry. How did you keep them in here? Didn't Mac see them?

Why would he bring up Malcolm? I have a look of confusion before answering as he just keeps looking at me.

Ariana- he never came in here. He had no interest in seeing what I had in here.

He had a look of guilt before answering. He never took his eyes off of me the whole time

Ricky- oh okay. Well let's get moving

I get my bathing suit out and turn around to find Ricky without a shirt on and getting ready to take off his pants. He looked so good. I couldn't take my eyes off of him before he cleared his throat. I looked up at him to find a big smirk on his face.

Ricky- like what you see?

Ariana- (shrugged shoulders) I guess you could say that

Ricky- (laughs) so are you going to get dressed or not?

Ariana- yep. I'll be right back.

Ricky- where are you going?

Ariana- to the bathroom to change.

Ricky- wait so you got a free show and I don't get to see anything.

Ariana- yep thanks for the show. I'll be right back

I walk out of the closet and start to undress in my room. All he has to do is walk out of the closet and see me naked. I put on the top and I need to tie the back of it but I can't reach it.

Ariana- Ricky! Can you help me tie this

Ricky- tie wha-

He walks out of the closet and stops in his tracks when he sees me. I blush at his reaction and giggle. He snapped out of it when he heard me.

Ricky- oh uh...yeah. sorry

He ties my top and we go out to the pool. It was freezing so we turned the heaters on and waited for it to heat up. We sat on the edge of the pool while we waited and it was silent. Neither one of said a word the entire time and it was nice. I put my hand in the water to check and it was warm.

Ariana- we can go in now.

Ricky just gets up and walks to the entrance of the pool and walks down the steps and I follow. We go to the edge and just look at the view. I can tell he's thinking about something and it doesn't look good because his jaw is clenched. I reach up and move his face towards me and his jaw immediately relaxes and his face becomes soft.

Ariana- what are you thinking about?

Ricky- why didn't Mac ever care?

Ariana- what do you mean?

Ricky- you said he didn't ever go in the closet because he doesn't care. Why?

Ariana- I never said he didn't care I just said he had no interest. It's my closet I think he would just assume my clothes are in there. Why are you asking about Malcolm anyway?

Ricky- I just wanted to know why you broke up with me to go to him when it just seemed like he never cared.

Ariana- he did care. He cared a lot actually

I noticed that Ricky was getting jealous so I decided to change the topic but he kept going back to it.

Ariana- so when we weren't together were you with anyone else at all

Ricky- no I wasn't. Do you still love him? If you both didn't go on tour the same time would you still be with him?

Ariana- (sigh) I don't know Ricky. Maybe, maybe not. Who knows and why does it matter?

I was getting frustrated that he kept asking the questions about Malcolm. Why does it matter when we are having such a good time?

Ricky- so do you still love him?

Ariana- yes but not in that way. I have always loved him as a friend and I still do but nothing more.

Ricky- okay. Are you ready to go back in now?

Ariana- yeah

I was still so frustrated at Ricky that he couldn't just let it go. I dried myself off and wrapped myself in a towel not waiting for Ricky. I walked in the house and started to head upstairs when he came in.

Ricky- what's wrong? I thought we were having a good time today.

Ariana- we were but now you're just being frustrating.

Ricky- why because I was trying to figure out why you chose him over me?

Ariana- yes Ricky! Just let it go! It's in the past!

I stomp up the rest of the stairs and slam my door. I go into the bathroom to get ready for a shower when I heard a knock on the door.

Ariana- what

Ricky- I'm sorry. I'm going to go now

I open the door as he was walking away.

Ariana- why are you leaving?

Ricky- I don't want us to move too fast. I want everything to be just right this time. I'll call you tomorrow

He kissed my forehead and walked out. He is being really weird. I get on the bathroom and take a shower. By that time I was exhausted and ready for bed. I fell asleep dreaming about Ricky.
