Acting in Love

Power Couple

a few months later ..

Ariana's POV:

Tonights the night. Madonnas Oscars After-Party. My label tells me this night is THE night for Mac and I to be seen as a couple. It will show to the public that were still going strong and signifys that were going to stay together for a long time. My babies already go crazy over the sight of us which is cute and all I guess. All they want is for my happiness which makes me happy in itself.

Im actually having an okay time with Mac. We haven't had sex yet, which is fine because it's just been too awkward until now, but i feel like tonight, after the party it might happen and i don't know how to feel about it. Kinda want it to happen, kinda don't,  kinda worried.

But yeah we've been getting closer and closer and I think he thinks we're both getting really into each other when in reality i still have feelings for my ex ...

He's actually next to me right now all cuddled up. And that ladies and gentlemen is my cue to get up and get ready for the day.

Carefully, I slip out of the bed without waking him, grab my phone and saunter my way downstairs. My hair is a complete mess especially beings as 1, I just woke up and 2, I currently do not have enough free hands to fix it because I'm holding my phone. I could stick it underneath one of my arms but then i'd try lifting my arms and boom there goes my expensive iPhone 7s. You know I probably should be looking into getting a new phone. The new X or the 8. Who knows.

I finally make my it downstairs where I'm greeted by my loyal pup Toulouse. I set my phone down on the hardwood and lay down beside it to pet my boy. He squirms his slender body around in excitement that I'm here. After petting him for a bit, I stand back up and walk around into the kitchen and behind the island counter. I set my phone on the counter and start to sift through my fridge and cabinets looking for food while I pull my wild baby hairs and flyaway into a loose high pony. I quickly realize there isn't very much of anything to make so I just start pulling out ingredients for a smoothie. Almond milk, strawberries, mango, kiwi, peach and kale.

I finish pouring myself a drink of my delicious concoction into a cute little mason jar, with a glass straw my girl Daniella screamed at me to get , and go outside. Making sure to grab my phone and this little notepad and pen that was on a side table by the couch.

I was out there for about an hour and a half, in the shade, poolside with my smoothie doodling around lyrics for some upcoming lyrics. My mind drifted over to my feelings and thoughts about Ricky. Then, before I knew my hand started writing. So far all I've come up with is "they say, you crazy, just leave him, he'll suffocate you, but I wanna be in your arms" & "I can't quit you" and I'm not so sure what that could possibly be on or if it could be on a song at all. That first lyric is about all the things my close friends would say about Ricky when those kissing photos leaked at the end of our relationship. The ones where we're clubbing and dancing and all up on each other while on vacation.

All the sudden I get the sense someone is watching me. I look up to see Mac kind of creepily hovering above me almost looking like he's trying to read what I wrote. But this is definitely not ready to be seen by anyone besides me, especially not him. Due to him scaring the fuck out of me I jump in fright almost knocking over my smoothie and shutting my notebook closed.

"Jesus Christ" I sigh placing my hands on my forehead.

"I'm sorry babe, didn't mean to scare you" he says chuckling a bit at the end. He proceeds to give my shoulder a small squeeze, then sits down on the lounge chair next to me. "So, what were you writing ?" he says trying to peek over at my book.

"oh nothing" I smile nervously, "literally just some scribbles."

"are you sure? it looked like words" he continued.
