We can work this out

Start from the beginning
                                    

She didn't protest, instead she met me half way and smiled into the kiss

"Ew" I said

"What?" She frowned

"Whatever tea you're drinking tastes awful" I said

"Please, says the one that drinks pure black coffee" she told me as I pulled away and went to pour me a cup of coffee as it was done

"At least it's not some nasty tea" I told her

She playfully rolled her eyes

"Do you have to go into work today?" She asked me

"No, I told Aaron I probably wouldn't make it in" I replied

"So we can spend all day together?" She asked

"I actually think I might go to the grocery store since I couldn't find any snacks last night" I replied

That caused Ariana to laugh

"Well can I come?" She asked

"To the grocery store?" I asked

She nodded

"In public?" I asked

She nodded

"With a bunch of people?" I asked

"Yes, so can I come or not?" She asked

My eyes diverted down to her neck as I blew cool air on my coffee before taking a sip

"No, you're definitely not going out in public today" I told her

She frowned as she crossed her arms over her chest

"I know I just got cheated on, but I can still be seen, you don't need to protect me you know" she said

"That's definitely not what I meant" I said as I grabbed my phone from my pocket and opened the front facing camera

"What?" Ariana asked taking the phone from me

"I must've gotten a little too.. comfortable last night" I stated as I ran my finger along the marks on Ariana's neck

I watched as Ariana slightly shivered under my touch and tilted to head to get a better look at the red and purple marks that covered different spots on her neck

"I'm sorry" I apologized

"Jesus y/n!" she exclaimed

She didn't sound mad though. She just sounded surprised more than anything. Once Ariana got a good look, she handed me my phone back and covered her neck with her hand

"I'm really sorry. Are you mad at me?" I asked

"Not at all" Ariana replied as she dropped her hand from her neck

I couldn't help but to stare her neck before diverting my attention to meet her soft eyes

"I can cover them up" she assured me

"You're sure you're not mad?" I asked

"I'm sure" she cupped my face and pecked my lips ever so gently

I was well aware how wrong this was, but I think I'm past the point caring and I'm sure she is too after the way Dalton treats her

"Let's go" Ariana said grabbing my hand as she began to lead me out of the kitchen. With our mugs in hand, we made it back to my bedroom and placed them on the best side tables, respective to the sides that we slept on

"I'll be right back" Ariana said as she went to the room she was meant to be staying in

She returned only seconds later with a fresh pair of clothes and her makeup bag
