Better With You// Petiana (ON HOLD)

Chapter 1

Two years later

Ariana's POV

It was a beautiful day in New York City and I planned a cute date for Mac and I to celebrate our year and a half anniversary. I put on a white crop top with a black shirt and heels hoping that he will appreciate me dressing nice for him. He arrived at my apartment about 20 mins ago and I'm putting on my setting spray.

"can you hurry up!" he yells from downstairs

"I'm coming" I reply as I ran down 

"so what do you think?" I ask him doing a spin

"about what?"

"my outift" knowing that I dressed up extra nice today

"good" not even looking up from his phone

"whatever lets just go" rolling my eyes

"hey don't get an attitude"

"at least I'm showing some emotion unlike you" walking out the door of my apartment

"come on baby don't be like that" 

"no I try so hard to get your attention these days and you never care so I will be enjoying lunch by myself, have fun with your phone since whatever you're doing seems to be much more important" almost tearing up "happy year and a half anniversary by the way"

"thats today?"

"screw you" I say as I slam the door 

I continue till I reach the elevator to take my to the main floor. The doors close and my eyes begin to water uncontrollably but once the doors open to lobby I see my driver Jake is already waiting and I pull myself together. As soon as I walk out of the building I'm flooded with flashing cameras and paparazzi

"Where is Mac?"
"How is your day?"
"Did you guys break up"

Jake opens the door for me asks

"good afternoon Ms. Grande are we waiting for Mr. Miller?"

"no it is just me today" I sigh as he opens the door for me

The drive is awkward and silent but I know Jake doesn't want to hear me complain although he had been a witness to fights Mac and I have had in the past. Luckily the drive to Carmine's isn't that long and I just scroll through instagram to pass time. We arrive and Jake opens the door for me but before I can exit he speaks u.

"I know this may be out of line but no man should make a women cry unless they are tears of joy"

"Thank you Jake, I'll  call you when I ready to go" I give a kind smile as I walk into the restaurant

It isn't super crowded since it's only lunch time so I get seated almost immediately in the back of the restaurant where there wasn't a lot of loud guests. I look at the menu and when the waitress comes to get my order I get the spinach ravioli and a house salad and they bring it out pretty quickly

"Ariana?"  someone asks from behind me

I turn around and look up to see a familiar face

"Pete Davidson is that you?" standing up to give him a hug

He loos like a giant compared to me at the point that I could barely wrap my arms around him

"long time no see" taking the seat across from me

"I know and I'm sorry I haven't kept in touch Ive just been so busy with my music"

"Don't beat yourself up about I can tell how hard you've been working by how amazing your music is"

"thank you" I lookin down at my food so he doesn't see me blush

"So how have you and Mac been?" causing a slight tension

"d-do you mind if we talk about something else?" I ask quietly

"okay you pick the topic"

"how has snl been?" 

"its been really great and there have been so many great memories"

"wow that sounds really nice"

"yea can you believe thats where we met and it was both our first show"

"I can't believe you remem-"

"pick up for Cazzie!" the waitess called out 

"well it was nice catching up with you"

"you too Pete"

"here put your number in my phone so we can grab lunch some time" he said handing me his phone

I put myself in his conacts as AG and as I handed it back to him our hands slightly brushed against each other and there was I feeling of electricity but I didn't see Pete react so I ignored it. 

"AG I like it" he laughed

"thanks I'll see you soon" I waved goodbye as he begins to walk away

"you definitely will" and in a split second he was gone
