Y/N POV:

"Y/N!!" The sound of that booming voice knock me back into reality. Turning my head towards the voice, it's Ariana who's magically by my side.

"How dare you call her a freak?! What's wrong with you Mikey!" I don't know why my body is not responding at all. Im trying to figure out if me hitting him was just in my head?? Probably is as there's no mark on his face nor on mine. For fuck sake. I would have so loved to actually hit his face in.

"What Ariana? Weeks ago you weren't exactly fond of her! Now look at you. Clinging to her, it's unattractive and fucking pathetic if you ask me." What the fuck did he just say to my girl?! Unattractive? Pathetic? Sure I know she didn't like me at the start, I don't give a fuck about that now. But you talking shit about my baby girl, Oh you gonna get it now Mickey boi. Cocking my arm back to hit him, Ariana beat me to it.  In a flash of an eye she kicks his groin with much force that got him to grab his nuts as he goes on his knees. I mean shit.. even I instinctively grabbed my own, somewhat empathising with the douche.

"Oh you fucking bitch!" I hear him groan as he fully lay down on the floor.

"That's what you get douchebag. Maybe think twice on who the fuck you're talking to." Ariana say as she grabs my arm pulling me back to the group who are all stunned by what just unfold.

"Shit, love, that's fucking hot but look around..." Pointing my head towards the big crowd. I'm pretty sure all of that incident is caught on camera, heck, it's probably trending on twitter and making headline news on tabloids.

Watching her, look around the area, her face turns white as she realised what she had done. Quickly looking at our group, I signal them to gather round, making a protective circle around Ariana as we navigate back to the car. Of course I can't forget the girl who slapped me as she gave me an apologetic smile while we walk pass. I think her and the rest of their group also followed us and covering their faces. Are they famous or something? Shrugging at the thought, my main focus right now is to get out of here ASAP. So much for my plans later on.

Moments later, we finally arrive to Ariana's car with her clinging to my arm for dear life. She's probably shaken up. Victoria volunteered to drive back home as Ariana is definitely not in the right state of mind to drive. However, before heading off I took notice how there's a disabled toilet not far from us and luckily no one else is around... yet. So, wanting to get a moment alone with her for a bit I let the girls know and guide her to the toilet. Reaching our destination and locking the door as soon as we got in, Ariana just broke down crying. I really hate it when she cries...

"I'm so stupid to lose my cool like that!" I flinch slightly at her sudden outburst. All I can do is let her vent it all out before saying anything. "Like ugh stupid! Now there's more reasons for people to get the wrong impression of me and oh let's not to mention how my label will chew my ass for this stunt." She paces back and forth in front of me as I just lean against the door.

"It'll be okay. And to be honest he deserved it. Like you legit hit his baby maker like a pro." I pump my fist up like goofball and sure enough a small giggle erupts from her. "There the sound that I've been wanting to hear." I chuckle while stepping closer to her to wipe her tear stained cheeks. I study her flawless features as I feel her snake her arms around my neck drawing out forehead together.

"That is True. I'll do that again in a heartbeat if he calls you like a freak again. No one should be feel like that, no matter what." Gently pulling her head back away from mine she plants a soft kiss against my lips. Somehow this kiss is different, I can't put a finger on it but there's more feeling to it. Wanting to deepen the kiss we got interrupted by both of our phones going off with notifications. Sighing, I peck her forehead before fishing out my phone from my pocket as she does the same.

Guess who's it from? That's right, the baddest bish Nonna.

From: My Nonna ❤️
Y/N I saw what Ari done! It's all over the internet now and I just want to say... I could have done a lot worse! Hope you two are okay and get back home safely. 💫

P.s. Tell Ariana, next time hit him twice for good measure.

I erupt in laughter reading her message. I definitely don't doubt Nonna when she says she'll do worse. Because damn she may be old but she has hella moves and can be strong as fuck! Don't ever underestimate her nor any elderly. They can definitely can do damage when need be, trust me I know.

My attention goes back to Ariana when I hear her half groan but giggle towards her phone. Without me have to say anything she puts up her phone towards my face, allowing me to read a text from the girls, a group chat I presume.

(Baddest bitch: Victoria)
(My Chipolone: Courtney)

From: Baddest bitch
Yo! You horny fucks coming back yet? I wanna go home and eat!

From: My Chipolone
Stop fucking. Wash your hands and get your asses back here. Victoria here is getting annoying af.

My cheeks turns read from the thought of finally getting fully intimate with Ariana. I mean.. yes we've done.. stuff but not all the way. And to be honest in some way I'm glad, for now anyways. It'll feel more special when we finally go for it and plus I want to make it all romantic and shit. At least for our first time.

"Babe, are you there? Did they break you from their messages?" She giggles as tries to get my attention by placing small kisses all over my face.

"Yes. Completely broke me... and feel a little weird with them thinking of us being intimate." Eyeing me with a raised eyebrow.

"How is that weird? They kinda know everything, they're my best friends." She replies easily. Wait.. hold the phone. Everything??

"Please don't tell me when you said 'everything' it did not include my 'extra package'." I frown as I wait for her reply that did not come soon. It's been a minute or so and she hasn't said anything nor looked at me.

"Listen ba-

"I can't believe this. How could you tell them without telling me? Or even asking for my permission?? Who can know is mine. That decision comes down to me and no one, even you Ariana can take that away from me." Turning my back to her, I pinch the bridge of my nose trying to make sense of this. Some say I might be overreacting but this secret of mine is mine. It's my right.

"I'm sorry.. I didn't mean it and I obviously didn't think. They're my friends.. it's automatic that I just tell them about anything and everything. If it makes you feel better they're totally okay with it and won't tell anyone." I feel her hand caress my shoulders and back as she steps closer to me. Feeling the warmth of her arms as they wrap round my waist.

"Come on, let's go before we get discovered here." I didn't mean to sound off but I just can't shake off the anxiousness that's slowly creeping up on me.

"No need for that tone. I apologised, isn't that enough?" I let out a deep sigh before getting agitated by her own tone.

"Ariana, I hear your apology but right now I need to process on what you've just told me. I don't want to argue with you and I hope you see it in my point of view." My back is still turned to her as if I turn around I might say something shitty and the last thing I want is to escalate this conversation. Plus we're still in public area.

"Fine. Come on then." Pushing past me, she hurriedly open the door and storm out. I follow her with my gaze before moving my body. I make sure no one still around to ambush us while I trail behind her. I can still she's upset but heck I'm more than upset.

Finally reaching back to the car and hearing the girls teasing us by making kiddy faces at us. Even Nicola joined in, great they stole my best friend. The first hour of the ride home it's been quiet, between Ariana and I. She talks to the girls but ignores me and to be frank, I want to be left alone with my thoughts anyways. I know she glances at me from time to time but I ignore it. I try to understand her point of view and maybe I do but I'm finding it hard. Call me stubborn I guess. Taking my eyes out from the window towards Ariana, I find her pair brown eyes already staring back at me. Smiling slightly I reach for her hand, for the first time during the journey, and bring it up to my lips placing a gentle kiss.

I hope she catches on what I'm trying to convey with it. A message saying that I just need time to process and that my feelings won't change. I think she did as she just gave me her dimples and snuggles against my arm.

"God, get a room. I swear if you invite her over tonight I'd rather you stay over at her house than me hear anything coming out of your room." Nicola says while playfully motioning a fake gag. I only stick my tongue out at her while the rest just laughed at our little antics.

"Shut up, you're just jealous because you can't get any." I playfully grin at her as the rest continue to laugh. Thought of staying over at hers is not a bad idea actually. I love waking up with her in my arms or seeing her slight drool on my chest or even the soft snores resonating from her tiny body. But I'll only stay over if she invites me of course, I wouldn't want to impose.

An hour, 10 Disney sing a Longs later we reached my apartment. A wash of slight disappointment wash over me, knowing I'll have to depart from the girl who's clinging on my arms.

"Love, You'll have to let me go.. or at least ease your grip because I'm starting to lose sensation on my arm with your death grip." I light heartedly laugh in which she just frown at me as she reluctantly let's go.

"Can't you just stay over?" I give her a grin and fold my arms.

"Getting bolder every day huh?" I smirk at her while booping her cute nose causing her to wrinkle it. "Maybe another time. I still need to think some things through.. especially what you told me earlier." I say seriously with a sigh.

"Y/N... can't you just let it go? How many times do I have to apologise??" This girl is unbelievable. Today has been all over the place from the moment I saw fucking Mikey next to her. She's pushing it.

"Let it go?? How can I just let it go? Let go of the fact that you blurted my secret to your friends without even telling me?? What if I told Nicola a secret of yours without your permission? You would be flipping your shit at me?!" I didn't want to raise my voice but her stubbornness is getting on my nerves. "Don't even try to deny it because we all know that you will either be throwing shit at me or worse." Without hearing her response I get out of the car and slamming the door right before she could get out.

Nicola follow suit without a word but I hear Courtney coming after me.

"Y/N! Wait up.. please." Hearing her plea, I stop and turn around to listen. "I'm sorry that Ari can be thick and tend to not have a filter, especially when she talks to us. I assure you we won't ever tell anyone else about your condition. Ever. That goes for Victoria too."

"Thank you, and I appreciate that. I trust you both that you won't but I'm more upset about how Ariana can't seem to understand why I'm frustrated. Just tell her I'll contact her when I'm ready." Giving her a quick hug, I look over Courtney's shoulder and saw how Victoria is trying to keep Ariana from getting out of the car. Good. I don't want to talk to her right now, I might end up saying something I regret.

Making eye contact with Ariana I hear her screaming my name as she thrash around in Victoria's arms. Poor Victoria... I owe her. I'll deal with Ariana and her rage when I'm in good place, mentally. For now I turn back round and head in my apartment.
