The Bodyguard

Recording

Ariana's POV:
As I wake up I find myself in Mac's arms, laying in bed together with him. It feels great to cuddle with him. At first I was a little shy to do that but now I know what I was missing the whole time.
I feel so protected and warm but my back hurts a little. It's really hard to carry three babies all the time. I'm already as big as I would be if I was 8 months with one baby and I'm only 5 and a half months now.
"Good morning" Mac says tiredly and kisses my cheek. "Good morning" I smile at him.
He places a hand on, and rubs my stomach.
"Let's just have a lazy day, today" I suggest but he shakes his head:"I can't. I have a meeting today. Maybe tomorrow, Ok?"
I nod as he stands up "I'll make some breakfast" He smiles "Stay in bed I'll bring it up"
I just nod again before he leaves.
There was something I wanted to do today but I totally forgot it.
As I check my phone, I remember that I wanted to text Justin so we could make out a date to record the song.
I quickly get the paper with his number and put it into my phone, starting to text with him:
Ari:Hey it's Ariana
Jus:Oh hey Ari
Jus:You're up pretty early
Ari:Haha yeah
Jus:When would be a great day to record the song?
Ari:Idk
Ari:You have time today?
Jus:Yup
Jus:Lets meet in the studio at about 2pm
Ari:Sure
Ari:See ya
Jus:Bye

"Hey Baby" Mac walks in smiling like an idiot "I made your fave" He hands me a plate with my favorite breakfast "Thank you" I smile and put my phone away.
"Who where you texting?" He asks while sitting down next to me.
"Um, Justin" I say and start eating and waiting for his reaction.
"Oh... so when are you gonna record the song?" He's pretty cool with it, despite the fact that he was acting up yesterday.
"Today" I answer him.
"Alright. I can't be there but promise me: No flirts or grabbing" There he is, the overprotective Mac.
I nod and finish my breakfast "I promise, babu" I smile slightly at him before he kisses me "And take some food with you, you'll need it" He takes my plate and chuckles.
"Yeah sure" I nod again and stand up slowly.
I'm still in my clothes from yesterday, so I decide to shower quickly and get ready.
I put on a really wide hoodie and ripped boyfriend jeans. With that, I put on some natural make up and of course put my hair in a high ponytail. I also wear some rings on my finger and black vans.
Mac already left to his meeting as I hop downstairs to grab some food and leave.

As I arrive at the studio, Justin is already waiting for me. I check my phone for any messages before turning it on silent and walking into the room.
"Hey Ari!" Jus smiles at me cutely. He's sitting on the couch just like yesterday and goes through the lyrics again.
"Hi" I smile back and sit down next to him.
"Ready to record some hot stuff?" He asks excited.
I was somewhere totally different with my mind and understood that wrong "What?!" I ask shocked, making him laugh "You and your dirty thoughts. Let's record the duet come on"
Shit that was really embarrassing. I stand up and follow him into the recording cabin.
"We're gonna sing together?"
He nods "Yeah, that's gonna give the song a great vibe." He hands me a pair of headphones to put on and the lyrics.
"Alright, ready?" Jus asks but I'm not really sure.
"Am I not supposed to go through the song first?"
"Nope" He grins and gives that guy a sign to turn on the beat.
Justin starts to sing and I join him later on.
I feel kinda weird when he looks me directly into the eyes and sings with me.
It's bringing me out of the concept but I'm not messing up anything.
Shit I'm not supposed to make him pretty eyes, I have a boyfriend. Get your shit together Ariana!
After we finished the song he smiles at me.
I totally lose it and smile at him happily.
He takes off his headphones and so do I, waiting for him to say anything about our lovey-dovey stares.
But then he just flashes a smile and heads over to the mixtape.
I quickly follow him and grab a seat.
"You two killed it" That man says.
"But I think I messed up that one line..." Justin says.
"Really? I didn't notice. Well then just do it again" The guy says, and Jus quickly goes into the cabin again.
"Dang you two must be really in love"
I couldn't believe my ears as he says that.
"What...?! We're not a couple. We're just friends" I explain.
"Well, trust me lady, he's feeling way more than just friend feelings and you obviously need some real love." He chuckles and points to my stomach "Who's the happy father?"
I don't feel comfortable, talking to him but I don't wanna be unfriendly "My boyfriend, Malcolm"
He raises an eyebrow and chuckles again:"He doesn't seem to give you all the love you need, if you know what I mean" He winks at me, leaving me speechless.
"No I don't know what you mean, I'm happy with him and gonna have triplets with him"
He laughs a little:"Wait, aren't you that singer who fell down the stairs and was in the hospital really long for 'checks and tests'?"
I nod, wanting to know what he has to say about that.
"So what actually happened?"
I don't know if I am allowed to tell him the truth so I don't answer.
Then, Justin comes back and the guy suddenly gets quiet again, the whole time we're editing the song.
