Ariana's POV:

"Courtney, I'm serious. You better keep your ass glued to my Y/N during their 'coffee' meet up." I'm currently on the phone to Courtney as I pack my bag for the last shoot for my music video. I know what y'all are saying, I shouldn't have lied to Y/n and just told her the truth.. but honestly? I'm scared of what she'll say. Maybe before it releases I'll talk to her about it. For now I'll keep it to by myself. Especially since it's with Mikey, she'll rip his head off. As hot as that sound with her being all dominant I don't want her to get into any trouble.

"Fuck sake Ari. She's a grown ass woman. Don't you trust her?" She bites back. My tolerance for her is slowly dwindling down.

"Of course I trust her! It's Camila who I don't trust." I half yell as I don't want Nonna or mum to hear me. They're downstairs waiting for me to go the shoot. I practically begged them to accompany me as I don't want to be alone with Mikey and his crew.

"You don't have to trust Camila, as long as you trust y/n that's all that matters right?" Ugh. I hate and love when she's right but no. It's never been in my nature to just ignore what I'm feeling, especially when it's this strong. And I'm feeling that Camila is up to something.

"I swear knock me the fuck out if you don't just do as I ask. Please, Courtney. You know why I'm like this, it's for my peace of mind." I try to not let her know the desperation in my voice but knowing Courtney, I can't hide anything from her. This bitch is my ride or die and knows me sometimes more than I know myself.

"Alright, fine. But seriously, there's nothing going to happen. Judging by how your Y/N is whipped? She's gotta be crazy to do anything to hurt you." I hear her sigh. I quietly rejoice as I know I have someone to keep me updated on what's going on. It's probably unhealthy being like this but I've been worse.

"Thanks Courtney! You're the best! Love you!" I cheerfully say and slightly jump into place.

"Ariana! Get your ass down here! You'll be late for your shoot!" I roll my eyes from the booming voice of Frankie. I forgot he's also here, theres a lot of that lately.

"You owe me. Also you better tell her soon about his whole kissing Mikey fiasco. If not? I'll tell her myself, she doesn't deserve the lies." I frown hearing her last moment.

"I'll tell her soon but if she ever finds out and not from me? You're so dead. But thank you, I gotta go." I kiddingly say. Well.. you know how jokes are half meant. I hung up before I can hear her reply. She totally busted my mood.

Grabbing my laptop and charger I stuff it in my bag before heading down. I know I'll be filming most of the day but I've been working on multiple songs which is inspired by this special someone... hopefully she'll like it and would try to work on it whenever I can between takes.

"Finally the queen has arrived." Frankie dramatically say while doing a fake curtsy.

"You damn right I have. Also you should curtsy lower." I flick my ponytail as I cat walked out the house. I love messing with him even though he can be a totally idiot.

"PFFT. Don't flatter yourself darling, I'm the main queen up on this bitch." I hear Frankie behind me.

"Excuse me?? The only main Queen is right here thank you. Stand aside children." I giggle as I hear Nonna and mum talking and acting like a queen just like in The Princess Diaries as they exit the house.

Getting in the car with everyone to go to the set I receive a text from Courtney that she's in eye view with Y/n.

From: Courtneybish

I have eyes on her and Camila. Y/n is getting drinks. All clear.
Now can I go?

I smile, as for now, I'm aware that nothing is happening. However, I still can't help shake the anxiety that's slowly building inside of me. I'm trying my best to keep that side of me at bay before I do anything stupid.

To: Courtneybish

Gd. Stay there until they leave. Heading 2 the set now

Silencing my phone for now, I turn my attention to Nonna, mum and Frankie who are discussing what's happening today. They began talking about how this collab Will surely hit the charts then discussing about our kiss scene, they're not very fond about that especially Nonna. She kept looking at me worriedly but I tune out that part of the conversation as it's only business, nothing more. If Mikey tries anything else imma defo castrate him myself. He's already caused a lot of shit.

Arriving at the set, I was ambushed by my makeup artists, stylist, director and everyone really. But most of all Mikey. He sauntered over to me with a grin and I simply replied by turning my back to walk over to my dressing room. I'll only interact with him when need be.

An hour or so later I got my outfit and makeup done. Now getting ready to shoot the kissing scene first so the awkwardness would go away.

"Fuck sake..." I mutter under my breath as I listen to our director. She has a great vision but I don't want to do it nor have Nonna and mum watch me make out with him.

"Can I ask mum and Nonna to like go to another room? Because I legit begged them to come but don't want them to watch me full on make out." I giggle awkwardly. Mum and Nonna only gave me dirty looks but I dismiss it. This is work, that's all it is.

It took me a while to convince them to give us some privacy to shoot the scene, me and Mikey walk to our places. He tried to pull me close by the waist but I manage to dodge him.

"You have no idea how much I've been waiting for this moment." He whispers to my ear. Out of instinct and disgust I push him slightly away from me with grimace apparent on my face. If only I can punch that smirk on his face right now.

"Okay places! And action!" Hearing the cue I mentally put myself within the persona that this Ariana (in the MV) is showing, its Ariana the actress now not the singer nor the real Ari. The music starts and I pull Mikey in the bathroom set and kiss him. I hear the director shouting some promps to us like to shoving off our jackets off each other and knock stuff off from the shelves. So basically make out like crazy to the point we breaking shit. As soon as his rough lips touches mine I internally cringe. I stop myself from shoving him off of me because if I do? We'll have to re-do it all over again and I don't want to do that at all. But that thought came true by the sound of 'cut' from the director. I growl in frustration as I wipe my lips, in hopes it'll get rid the virus thats called Mikey.

"Ariana, Honey. You have to make it more believable. The kiss should come across as like fire, passionate, possessive. okay? lets pick it up where we left off." I clench my jaw from spitting out words that might get me in trouble. I know Mikey is loving every minute of this as I catch him looking me up and down like a piece of meat. Disgusting pig.

How can I make this believable?? Passionate and possessive?? Alright I'll just think about my baby. How her lips leave searing heat in every expose skin she touches, the way her firm yet gentlefolks hands caress my body as if its the most precious thing in the world. Just the memory of her body fit perfectly with mine and how her cock fill me up like no other, has my knees weak. I unconsciously squeeze my thighs together as I feel the heat is slowly building up to the point I'm unconsciously wrapping my arms round her neck. Feeling her push me against the counter with our lips hungrily attached.

"Cut! Perfect! Absolutely perfect. Thats what I'm talking about. Alright next scene!" Realising it's not my baby that I'm kissing and that the scene is over I shove him harshly causing him to stumble back with a smug look on his face. I subtly notice him grabbing his crotch and I feel like I want to vomit and bleach my lips.

"Damn Ari, that was hot. You're so hot, damn mami." I only scowl at him before flipping him off as I rush to my dressing room with tears forming in my eyes. I feel so guilty for kissing him, it feels like I cheated on Y/N. This is just work. Only work.

"Well, thats one hell of a kiss." My soul dropped as I hear that familiar voice that I adore so much.

TBC
