Y/n POV
Ariana ended up staying at Victoria's after the studio, so I was home alone with Myron, Toulouse, piggy, and Rocky. As you can imagine, the night was very eventful. I felt like I had my own children and I was single mom.
I also didn't end up going to bed until late. Really late. Five in the morning late. I got too caught up watching this show I just started. With that being said, I was too comfortable on the couch to even walk up the stairs so I just slept on the couch with Rocky. I checked my phone for the time and saw that it was only nine in the morning. I probably won't go back to bed though.
I began to hear the lock of the front door jiggle which caused Rocky to lift his head up in concern
"It's okay rock, I'm sure it's just Ariana" I patted his head gently
Once I reassured him, he laid his head back down. With a bit more struggling, Ariana opened the front door was honestly quite loud
"Shhh" she shushed herself as she looked down at her feet
Her back was facing me as she turned around to close the door
"Shut up, Ariana" she said as the door slammed
When she finally turned around to face me, she jumped slightly
"Holy fucking shit you scared me!" She said
"Oh I'm sorry" I replied with a sheepish smile
"What are you doing?" She asked
"I was sleeping" I replied
"On the couch?" She asked
I nodded
"Why? Is everything okay?" She asked
She didn't even give me a chance to response before she rushed over to me
"You're not sick are you?" She asked feeling my head with hand
"No, no. I'm fine. I just fell asleep while watching tv last night" I said
"You have a tv in your room" she pointed out
"I was also too lazy to walk upstairs" I added
That caused Ariana to laugh
"How was the little sleepover?" I asked
"It was good, we just talked and played games" she said
I nodded
"Victoria asked about you" she added
"She did?" I asked
"Yea, she wanted to know what you've been up to. I said the usual, selling houses and shit" Ariana laughed
"Gee thanks" I replied sarcastically
"You know she has a bit of a crush on you right?" Ariana asked
"Oh she didn't tell you?" I asked right back
Ariana's face dropped
"What?" She asked
"Me and her are.. well you know" I said
"Having an affair!?" She exclaimed
I nodded
"No fucking way!" She said sounding shocked
I tried to best to hold in my laughter
"I can't believe she didn't tell me. Oh my god, her baby daddy " she rubbed her head
"You can't tell him" I said
"This is so messed up though. When can she find the time? When do you find the time? You're always with me... unless that rustling sound that happens sometimes late at night is Victoria sneaking in?" Ariana began to question
That's when I lost it. I bursted out laughing
"What?" she asked
"I'm fucking with you" I said calming down a bit
"You're an asshole" she said
"Do you really think I would have an affair with someone who is seemingly fully committed and about to have a baby?" I asked
She shrugged
"Who knows with how thirsty she is for you" she said
"I'm telling her you said that" I said
"She knows. I've told her before" Ariana said nonchalantly
"I would never go for that" I said
"Why because she's pregnant and you don't like pregnant women?" She asked getting defensive
"Whoa, it's because she's having a baby with a man she clearly loves. I'm not a home wrecker" I said
"Mmmhmm" she hummed
I playfully rolled my eyes
"Are you going to take a shower?" She asked
"In a few, why?" I asked back
"So I can take one after you" she replied
"You can go ahead" I said
"Thank you, I'm using the one in your bathroom" she smiled
I just smiled back

"What are you making?" Ariana asked as she walked down the stairs with wet hair, her natural hair mind you
"Peanut butter toast, want some?" I asked pointing to the toaster
"Hmm" She hummed as I took a bite of mine
"I think I'll just have a bite of yours" she continued as she took the piece of toast from my hand and took a bite opposite of mine
"I can make you some if you'd like" I said
"No, I really like yours" she replied
Is she flirting with me? Putting us in this situation again?
"Alrighty then" I laughed
"Mm. Mhm. Food always tastes better off of someone else's plate" she said
Right as she said that, the doorbell rang
"Are you expecting anyone?" I asked her
"No. You?" She asked me
I shook my head
"What if it's a creepo?" She asked
"Let me check" I said as I made my way to the door
I looked through the peep hole to see Dakota
"Let me in" he said covering the peep hole with his finger
I groaned as I unlocked the front door and let him in
"Coming unannounced?" I asked
"I would've called but I didn't feel like it" he joked
That caused me to laugh
"What's up?" I asked
As if on cue, Ariana came walking in eating my toast
"Dalton" he replied
"Dalton what?" Ariana and I asked at the same time
"Here" Dakota said handing us his phone
I watched as Ariana scanned the screen. Dakota's phone showed an Instagram story of Dalton holding some girl and kissing her
"I don't know if he thought that because we're not together anymore I wouldn't show you guys or if he just forgot I was on his close friends list. I- I really don't know" Dakota said
The next story showed a video of Dalton and the same girl full on making out as Raul hyped him up in the background. I looked at Ariana with concern in my eyes. She was biting her bottom lip in what seemed to be anger and hurt
"Ariana?" I asked
Dakota and I locked eyes. He held the same concerned look I did
"So it was true this whole time? I was right this whole fucking time" she finally spoke
"Ariana I'm sorry. I don't know what he's thinking. Clearly he's not, he's just, I don't know. I'm ashamed to call him my brother right now" Dakota said as he apologized on behalf of his brother
"It's okay. It's not your fault that your brother is a fucking whore" Ariana said
All Dakota could do was nod. I really didn't know what to say, she's not really speaking or showing any emotion
"Ariana, are you alright?" I asked
Dakota and I locked eyes again and he sent me a gentle smile. Ariana then took a deep breath as a way to compose herself before speaking
"Okay, thank you Dakota, I really appreciate you showing me" Ariana spoke calmly
Dakota mouthed "what the fuck?" to me as Ariana handed him his phone back
"You're welcome?" He questioned
She sent him a gentle smile
"Well I guess I'll get going" Dakota stood up awkwardly
"Oh no, you can stay, hangout a bit" I offered as he began walking to the door
"No, it's okay. Dalton looks like me so I don't want her to take anything out on me" he whispered with a laugh as we reached the front door
"Right" I smiled and agreed
"I'll text you later okay?" He asked
"Okay" I smiled
"Also, try and talk to her" he told me referring to Ariana
"I was going to anyways" I said
"Good. I also screen recorded it in case she needs it when she confronts him" he said
I nodded in response
With that, Dakota walked out of the doorway and to his car and I shut the door and walked to Ariana
"Well you called it" I said
"I sure did" she replied
The air was thick and silent
"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked
"Eh not really. I knew it" she shrugged
"You're sure?" I asked
"I'm fine. I'll be alright" she smiled gently
I just nodded. I wasn't going to force her to talk
"I'm going to go take a shower if that's okay?" I stated
I watched as a smile washed over her face
"Okay" she replied gently
I nodded and made my way to my room and got all of my things ready. I set the water to the perfect temperature and got in
I did my usual shower routine and then my usual skin care. Since I was going to be home all day, I didn't see a point in dressing up in anything to nice, so I settled on some sweatpants and a hoodie. I brushed through my hair one last time before going back downstairs and saw Ariana in the kitchen drinking tea. It looked like she was deep in thought
"Alright?" I asked breaking her out of her thoughts
She just smiled and looked up
"Yea" she replied gently
I nodded and made my way to stand with her
"For what it's worth, he's so stupid. You're such a great person and he doesn't deserve you" I told her
That caused her to smile
"Do you want some?" She asked me as she held her mug with tea up
"No thank you, I'm gonna have to pass on that" I said kindly
"Why?" She asked
"No offense, but it tastes so bad" I laughed
"It does not" she defended
"It kind of does" I replied
"Fine" she crossed her arms over her chest
"Fine, I'll take one little sip" I said
"Good" she replied handing the mug to me
I took a sip of her nasty tea and tried not to pull a face, but I was unsuccessful
"See, it wasn't that bad" she said
"It's pretty bad" I laughed
"You took it down like a champ" she said as she wiped the corner of my mouth with her finger
"I struggled" I said honestly just above a whisper
"Mhm" she hummed as she held my face in her hands
I began to feel her slowly leaning in. I was so lost in the moment that I let it happen. Our lips gently connected in a sweet meaningful kiss
"Ariana" I tried to pull away
"Hm?" She hummed
"We can't. You're just hurt right now" I said pulling away
"No I'm not" she pulled me in and began kissing me again
I was about to pull away again, but this time Ariana wouldn't let me. Instead, she tugged at my bottom lip with her teeth which caused me to let out a groan
"Do you really want me to stop?" She asked seductively as she pulled away
I quickly shook my head and chased after her lips
"Hm?" She hummed
"No" I said honestly
"I didn't think so" she said with a smile as she leaned in and kissed me again
The kiss was sweet and gentle until Ariana poked her tongue at the side of my lips. I let her in almost immediately and our tongues began to fight for dominance, which I gladly claimed. As it got more heated, I lifted Ariana to sit up on the counter and stood between her legs as she wrapped them around me.
I gently pushed Ariana's hair to the side and began kissing her neck. She then moved her face up to give me more access
"Mark me up" she said boldly
"Ariana, no" I replied
"Oh come on baby" she said seductively
That caused me to audibly gulp as I watched her jump down from the counter
"Are you coming?" She asked as she walked to the living room
I followed like a lost puppy dog
"Sit here" she pointed to a spot on the couch
Obviously I did and as soon as I did, she put her legs at either side of my and began kissing me again. The kissing didn't last long before she pulled away and went to my neck
"I'll mark you up then" she said kissing my neck roughly
"Maybe let's not" I said
"I already made a nice red one though" she pouted as she grazed her finger over it
"No more" I said
She just shook her head with a smile as she went back up to my lips. As the kiss got more and more heated, she began to grind her hips into me in hopes of friction of some kind. As our lips moved in sync, air become an issue. Thankfully Ariana disconnected from the kiss, but only long enough for her to take her shirt off and then guided my head to her barely covered chest. I began placing gentle kissing on her collarbones and then making my way lower. I gave her what she wanted before and decided to leave a very small mark just below her right collarbone
"Mmm" she hummed in pleasure and satisfaction
"More" she added
I shook my head no
"More" she repeated as she moved her hand to behind her back to unclip her bra
Panic took over me, I don't know what to do if she does that, what about Dalton, what about their relationship? They can still work things out
"Ariana, wait" I said gently grabbing her hand so she isn't able to unclip her bra
"What?" She asked with impatience in her voice
"What about Dalton?" I asked
"He's out there cheating on me" she said as she kissed my lips quickly in a hungry manner
She knew that I was going to fold the second she did that... and I almost did and it didn't help that she began to suck on my neck
"But what if he didn't go this far?" I asked
That caused Ariana to think
"It's one thing to kiss someone else, but to go all the way?" I asked
"Oh my god, your right" she said getting off of me
"What am I doing?" She asked more to herself
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have taken it so far" she said
"It's okay" I replied
"No matter how bad I wanted to" she said
That caused me to fall silent
"But what if he did go all the way?" She began to question with a light smirk on her lips
I didn't answer. It seemed more like a rhetorical question anyways
"Y/n?" She asked
"Hm?" I hummed
"I asked a question" she said
"Oh it seemed rhetorical" I said
That caused Ariana to smile
"Well I think you need to talk to him" I said
"That's going to be hard considering the fact that he really doesn't answer phone calls" she said
"Text him and tell him that you two need to talk.. preferably over the phone" I suggested
All Ariana could do was nod and type the message on her phone before we fell into an awkward silence.
"Y/n?" She asked
"Ariana?" I asked back
"I just- I hope this doesn't ruin our friendship. I really don't want that" she said
"It won't" I assured her
"You keep saying that, but this time we almost went further and now we were in an awkward silence and-" She began to ramble before I cut her off
"We'll be alright. Nothing will be awkward, nothing will ruin our friendship, nothing will split us up" I assured her further
All she did was nod, not daring to make eye contact with me
"Come here" I said as I opened my arms for a hug, trying my best to reassure her, even if I didn't know if what I was saying was true
That caused her to smile and immediately give in. We shared a tight, reassuring hug for a few minutes before she pulled away first and grabbed her phone
"He read it, but didn't say anything" Ariana said, referring to the text she sent Dalton
"Give him a few" I said trying to justify his reasoning
"I think I'm actually gonna head upstairs and get ready for bed" she said
"It's only seven" I said
"I know, but I'm going to take a bubble bath too" she said
"Okay" I nodded
I knew she just wanted alone time to think about everything so that's what I was going to give her. I watched as she got up from the couch and made her way upstairs.
"Goodnight" she told me as she reached the top and looked back over her shoulder
"Goodnight" I smiled gently
As soon as she disappeared behind the wall, Rocky sat next to me on the couch
"Hey buddy" I smiled and rubbed his head
He then laid his head in my lap
"Should we watch a movie" I asked him
Despite him not behind able to actually tell me yes or no, I figured he said yes and began browsing for movies as I heard the bathtub start to draw water
"It's just you and me tonight" I kissed the top of his head
