"But seriously, it was a blast to work with Michael." Paul voices as he sips on his champagne.

Michael humbly looks down and shakes his head.

"You're a very lucky woman, Ariana." Linda, Paul's wife, adds.

"Trust me, I know." I gleefully smile at Michael who's eyes were already on me.

Before Michael can add any input into our conversation, loud footsteps are heard walking over to the little circle that Linda, Paul, Michael and I have formed.

"Prince!" Paul leaps forward and gives him a bear hug. "I'm so glad you made it."

"Wouldn't miss it for the world." He says while slipping his hands behind his back.

His eyes then slowly slide over to me and they widen a bit.

"And who might this be?" He steps closer to me.

I glance at Michael and he looks enraged to say the least.

"My girlfriend." Michael confidently says as he tightens his grasp around my waist.

Prince notices his annoyance and backs off.

"Can I get a name at least?"

"Ariana. Ariana Grande." I speak up for the first time in forever.

A smug look appears on his face.

"Well, nice to meet you, Ariana."

"You too." I nod as I watch him wonder to wherever he came from.

I start to laugh at the interaction that just happened and go to pull Michael's arm but I quickly realize that he isn't there anymore.

I furrow my eyebrows and look behind me, I watch Michael's dark figure angrily walk away.

A sigh leaves my mouth and I hurry after him.

"Michael." I call after him as he walks outside.

"Michael!" I shout louder. Maybe he'll stop this time.

"Michael!" I yell with all my might which causes him to finally stop.

"What?"

"What's wrong? What did I do?" I ask while holding my clutch close to me.

He rolls his eyes and turns back around.

"Don't act like you don't know."

This only causes me to be more confused. What is he talking about?

"What?"

He scoffs and continues stomping off.

I run over to him in my heels and physically stop him from leaving.

"Please just tell me. Whatever I did, I'm sorry."

He fixates his eyes on me and I search them for any sign of emotion.

"Go tell your apologies to Prince. I'm sure he'll wanna hear it." Michael states with irritation written all over his face.
