ariana's pov

it's now march and i'm on my way to a team meeting right now. i wanna ask scooter if he knows billie's manager. idk i was thinking of a collab? it would be fucking sick if me and her did a song together. both our fan bases are huge and i know the song will blow up.

after meeting

"there's my star." scooter smiled as he saw me walking up to him.

"hey scooter. uhh do you happen to know brandon? like billie eilish's manager?" i asked him.

"yeah i'm pretty sure i got his number, why do you ask?" he replied.

"well, i was thinking about releasing a single with billie in a few months." i said.

"that's actually not a bad idea. how about i ask brandon about it, we meet up and settle it. what do you think?" he asks.

"alright, let's do it." i smiled.

a few hours later

"hey bil, you gotta minute?" brandon said, pausing the photoshoot.

"uh yeah i guess?" i ask confusingly, then brandon pulls me to the side.

"okay so i got a call from scooter braun-."

"as im ariana's manager??" i ask eagerly.

"yes. he asked if you wanted to get lunch with him and ariana at a salad shop down in malibu and discuss some things on thursday. i was thinking of canceli-."

"tell them yes. i'll be there." i said, walking away then getting back into the shoot.

thursday in malibu

i can see paparazzi bombarded in front of the shop and the people at the shop eventually closed the blinds to block out the flashing lights of their cameras.

as my car pulls up to the small restaurant, i see one paparazzi yell my name and the rest of the paparazzi start coming up to my car, my guards move them out of the way and i'm able to make it out of my car with brandon and into the restaurant.

"whew!" i say as i enter the building.

"is paparazzi crazy out there?" ariana chuckled.

"yes. very." i panted, letting out a laugh.

"you two, take a seat." scooter smiled warmly.

"i'll order for us, i'll be back." brandon said, standing up and heading to the counter.

"i'll be in the bathroom for a few." scooter got up and walked away.

"uhm. hi." i smiled.

"hey." ari smiled back.

"how was paparazzi when you got here?" i asked her.

"hectic. all they're asking is like "how are you now that you're single!" and like "are you dating anyone!" like why should my relationship status concern youu." she said annoyed.

"yeah i got you. everyone's always asking if i got a girl and i'm just like nahh." i chuckle.

"oh hey congrats on the grammys. you really are very talented." she complimented me.

"oh thank you." i smiled warmly. "but like seriously, i think you deserved album of the year. thank u, next was a really ama-."

"hun noo, it's totally okay. i'm planning on releasing an album later this year. and don't worry i'm not coming for your job. you deserved all of them. that album and the songs included were sick." she cut me off.

"thank you, i worked my ass off getting that album done." i chuckled.

"we love a good hustle." she laughed.

"alright i got the food." brandon came back to the table.

"i'm here." scooter smile warmly. "so, ariana came up with an idea that maybe there should be a collab? both of you are the biggest people in the music industry and we're hoping that you would come along with it. one of our producers adore you and finneas' music and we're hoping we could work this out." scooter said.

me? collab? with ariana grande? wow.

"yeah i mean it was my idea and i've been hoping we could work together for months upon months now. why not two gay girls start ruling the world? what do you say?" ariana asked.

"are you serious?" i asked.

"of course." ariana smiled.

"we'll do it" i agreed. the smile on ariana's face grew wider.

"omg you have no idea how excited i am for this." she said getting up to hug me.

"alright. you two should exchange numbers and start working pretty soon. we can put it out in the summer." brandon smiled. scooter and brandon started talking so that left an awkward silence between me and ari.

"hey, do you have anything after this?" ariana asked.

"no not really, why?" i asked.

"you wanna come over? im gonna be alone all night sooo." she asked.

i'd be down to netflix and chill.

"yeah sure, i could ride with you if that's okay?" i said.

"totally." she smiled.

i did that on purpose. i know she has feelings for me. don't ask questions, i just know.

"alright, you two are heading to the studio to write a song on uh sunday." brandon said.

"alright, i'll catch up with you tomorrow bro." billie said hugging brandon.

"shit i forgot about paparazzi." i said.

"okay, me and brandon go out first, we'll give them answers then we'll give you two a go to get in the car. okay?" scooter said.

"got it." me and billie said at the same time. we both waited in the shop. i tried so hard to keep my eyes off her. she's breath-takingly gorgeous, how couldn't i.

"wow, thanks boo." she smiled.

"fuck uhm sorry was that weird?" i asked nervously.

"no. not at all." she replied sincerely.

i'm so ready for tonight
