Ariana Imagines

#143: I've Lost the Key

"Hey doll," 

Her face scrunches up in disgust and annoyance. She reeks of bad luck. I can smell from my seat. He smiles and starts to lean in to her. She takes the kiss like a champ. He questions her face and she shrugs and looks back at the bar. His hand is on her shoulder and my eyes are stuck. He's saying something in her ear and then his hand moves down to her waist. I cough loudly and turn around in my moving stool to face the other part of the bar and order another shot. 

After two minutes, I hear the sound of boots walking towards me. When I turn my face, he's walking out of the front door. "Bourbon." the sir bartender says setting down the small glass in front of me. I shake my head for him to leave, and he exits. Now I hear the sound again, this time red glossy 6 inch boot heels. She whips her hair and leans her head on her hand sitting in the stool beside me. I take the glass to my lips and tilt my head back. It's dead quiet until the sound of glass hitting clean wood echoes. 

"So?" her sweet voice says. 

"Good. Didn't even ask why you were at a bar.." I chuckle at his stupidity. She stays quiet beside me and I can feel her stare at the side of my face, so I turn my head and meet her eyes. Its as if all her coolness left her body, she shifted in her seat and removed her hand. A very quiet smirk snuck on my face for a split second, I look behind her head to the clock. He's dead by now. 

The bar door bangs open loudly, two men holding another small man, bloody and bruised. Ariana gasps and stands up and backs away from the bar and far away from the men. 

"You forgot something?" I ask the bloodied man who left a couple of minutes ago and here he is in pure pain. My two men push him down and put force on his cuts causing him to groan in pain. I look at a blue eyed blonde, muscular and lean. "What seems to be the issue?" I say patiently at first. "You mind if we do it here? Couldn't work outside." I think for a couple of seconds. 

I stand up rather slowly and grab shaking Ariana by the elbow. "Clean up." I mumble and begin to walk out of the back entrance with Ariana in hand. Many noises behind us. 

Ariana's out of breath as I push her along to the car on the side of the street. "W-Wai-" 

"Get in." I say as I open the door for her then start walking to my own side. "But-" 

"Get in." I say again with a harsher tone, she looks at me for a second as I do to her and she finally proceeds to get inside the car. 

I start driving off into the night with the scared girl beside me. "You said you wouldn't do that." I chuckle and hit my hand down on the steering wheel. "Honey, we both wanted that." she stays quiet and looks at the street. 

I look over to her, face with worry and a little sadness. "Aww cupcake, if you stay with me, nothing will happen to you. I promise." I reassure. Her eyes lower in disbelief, "That's not what I'm worried about Y/N." I raise my eyebrows at her tone. 

"No? You don't think I'd do any bad things to you? If you leave me, I'll ruin you. You understand me?" her eyes widen and her hands tighten at her sides, my eyes are strictly moving back and forth from her and the road. She knows not to leave me eyes. 

"Do you?" I ask louder. "Yes."  she squeaks. We get to my driveway and I park the car, she knows best and stays in the car waiting for me to open her door. I open the door and slam it harshly behind her. 

I put the keys down on the counter, my eyes roaming her figure. "Take those dangerous heels off." I say to her and she does. She's so fucking pretty. I kiss her shoulder as she takes off the shoe on her left side. She get's much shorter now and I love the feeling I have over that difference. I grab her face and kiss her, she's taken aback but kisses back too. Soon she's putting just as much strength that I had started with. My hands on her back, unzipping her dress. 

"Bath." she mumbles between the kiss breathlessly and I nod my head. I watch her walk off into the lower bathroom. 

-

We're sitting in the gigantic tub, her head tilted back resting on the edge. She looks so peaceful now, but my body is hot and bubbling inside so profusely, its making me mad. I love her, and it seems unbelievable. 

"I love you." I say and she quickly moves making the water move in one big wave. Her eyes full of emotion, which I can't tell. 

"Really?" 

"Yes. Say it back." 

Her eyes point down to the water, a very small smile coming to her lips. 

"Baby say it back." I knew she did, she's told me before and I never answer. And now I grow impatient to hear her say it again. 

"I love you too." she awakes and looks at me at ease.
