Problem
song used: Problem by Ariana Grande featuring Iggy Azalea and Big Sean
i got one more problem with you girl
one less one less problem
"One less problem without you! I got, one less problem without you! I got, one less problem without you! I've got one less, one less problem!" Ariana sang, one hand lightly grazing the microphone.
"That was great Ariana! I don't know why you wanted me to help you fix it." As he was talking, Ariana pulled off the headphones and placed them on the hook of the mic. She walked out of the recording room, sighing and running a hand through her hair. "What's wrong?"
Justin wrapped an arm around her shoulders, giving the hand that she brought up to hold his a squeeze. She laid her head in the crook of his neck, before speaking, "It just..doesn't feel right."
"What doesn't feel right? Iggy?"
"No, no. Of course not. I love her in this. It sounds great. But.. The chorus. I don't like how it sounds."
"But you recorded it and everything. Is it just now not sounding right?"
"Yeah, when I was recording with Iggy, it sounded great. I recorded all my verses and the choruses and I loved it. Now, I don't like how the chorus sounds with me singing it."
"Ariana Grande finally has something she can't sing?" Justin teased, letting go of the petite girl to stare jokingly and shockingly at her.
She giggled, shoving Justin's shoulder. "Shut up Justin."
"I'm only kidding," he grinned like a dork at her. "Look, let's just go over it. We'll work on it until you like it, okay?"
Ariana nodded, grabbing a music sheet and plopping down on the couch, along with Justin. "It's only the chorus I'm having trouble with. Like, I feel like I'm just saying the exact same lines with the exact same singing style. It's kind of, I don't know, repetitive?"
"How about, you try to add some background vocals to it?"
"What do you mean?" Ariana shifted in her seat, throwing her legs over Justin's and leaned on the arm of the couch.
"Okay, um. Sing the bridge for me."
She raised an eyebrow, but listened to Justin. "Head in the clouds, got no weight on my shoulders. I should be wiser, and realize that I've got.."
Justin whispered, "One less problem without ya! I got! One less problem without ya! I got! One less problem without ya!"
"I got one less, one less problem," Ariana finished. "Oh my gosh, Justin!" She was literally jumping in her seat.
"See? Does that sound better? With your voice, it'll be great-" He stopped when Ariana stopped bouncing. "What?"
A devilish smirk appeared on her lips. "I love it, but.."
Justin looked confused. "But what?"
Ariana crawled onto his lap, arms wrapped around his neck. "Since you've been neglecting writing our duet, why don't you be in this song?"
Justin raised an eyebrow, hands moved to hold onto her waist. "What are you talking about?"
"Sing in my song. Like, the chorus. Like how you just did."
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, I'm serious! Please Justin?" Ariana whined, slumping in her position on Justin's lap. "It's such a fun and cute way for you to be on the album, and I think the fans will love it."
Justin bit his lip, shrugging. "I don't know Ariana. This was only for fun, I didn't mean to imply that it was going to be me."
The brunette pouted, her brown orbs widening. "But I want it to be you. Justin, please?"
"Ariana, that look isn't going to work this time."
She kept it on, as she moved her leg to the other side of Justin's body, completely sitting on his lap facing him. Her arms still around his neck.
"Ari.."
She scooted closer, lips still in the cute pout that Justin knew that he couldn't resist. "Pretty please?"
Justin groaned, moving his hands from her waist down her legs that was wrapped around his torso. "Fine, I'll do it."
"Eee!" Ariana exclaimed, jumping on his lap, tightening her hold around his body for a hug.
Justin groaned again, he knew they were only friends, but he couldn't control his friend down there. "You're the bestest friend ever!"
He rolled his eyes playfully. "Yea, so why do we have to be so secretive about everything?"
Ariana and Justin have been best friends for the longest time, ever since Ariana left the Believe tour, they kept in touch with each other. They never told anyone that they were still seeing each other, other than close friends. Scooter would catch them in the studio together late at night, working on new music or just messing around singing random covers. He never gave it a second thought, and respected the fact that they didn't want anyone finding out about their secret bond.
They discussed it before; the media and the fans would twist all their words, and they both liked the thrill of seeing each other quietly. They could be themselves without having anyone accusing them of anything. Especially with Justin always joking calling her baby or babygirl or Ariana's sweet way of showing affection. They actually felt like normal best friends for once.
"Justin, we talked about this.."
"I know, but I have a shit ton of selfies I have with you that I can't post."
Ariana giggled. "That's the only reason why?"
"Hey, I mean, you have to give the fans a break don't you think? Admit it, you've seen edits that they've made of us together. I've seen some, and I get confused because I actually thought we took them! But then I remember you liked being an ass and want to keep us private."
Her mouth was agape, a smile playing on her lips. "I'm not the only one who agreed to this!"
He chuckled, repositioning himself on the couch. Ariana moved her legs back to the side and cuddled up against Justin's body. "I know. I just hate how we always have to hide in the studio or each other's houses. I want to go out to dinner and games and award shows with you."
"I know, we will. Because you're going to sing in Problem, and we'll let everyone know that you've been a problem in my ass for a while now."
hey baby even though i hate ya!
i wanna love ya, i want you!
and even though i can't forgive you
i really want ta, i want you!
tell me, tell me baby, why can't you leave me?
cause even though i shouldn't want it
i gotta have it, i want you!
Ariana giggled, as Justin plopped down onto the couch of Ariana's house, a new bag of chips in his hands. "So, you just fell? Off the cliff?"
"I didn't fall, I swear!" Justin mumbled the last part, "My dad pushed me."
She fell in a fit of laughter. Justin and Ariana decided to chill at Ariana's place, to just talk. There was so much things going on, that it just felt right to be able to sit back and relax. They managed to get to the subject when Justin was on vacation with his family and there were photos of him diving off a cliff into the ocean below. "Okay, blame your dad. He's trying to kill you, now?"
"He did!"
She rolled his eyes, making Justin throw a handful of chips at her face. Her mouth agape, she scoffed, "Justin!"
It was his turn to be laughing. "You deserved it!"
"I'm going to get so much acne now." She crossed her arms, her face in a deep frown.
"Aww, come on Ari, don't be like that."
She rolled her eyes, turning her body away from him. Justin's face dropped, sighing. He scooted his body next to hers, pushing the fallen chips off the couch.
"Baby," he whined, resting his chin on her shoulder. "Ari?"
She just huffed, her face blushing as his hand rested on her bare thigh. She probably shouldn't have worn spandex shorts, she thought as he began tracing circles with his fingers.
"I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean to. You won't get acne, and even if you do, you would still be beautiful. You're always beautiful, no matter what."
Ariana couldn't hold back a smile, and Justin knew. He grabbed her chin, and moved her face towards him. "I know you're pretending to be mad at me, but I'm not pretending on what I said, alright?"
"Love you," Ariana giggled, grabbing his hand. He smiled and kissed her cheek.
"Oh!" she reached to the table in front of couch. "I wonder if Daniel sent me the final of Problem yet."
"Oh yeah, when will it be released?" Justin asked, leaning back onto the couch, one arm spread on the backboard. On his other hand, he was on Twitter, tweeting, "Got some big news coming....."
"10 days! He did send it," Ariana excitedly exclaimed. She leaned onto his body as she clicked play on the audio.
Saxophones blared out of her phone, and the Australian rapper's voice started singing. Ariana's familiar voice came next, and Justin's whispering following. The song ended, and Ariana squealed. "Oh my gosh, I love it, I love it! It sounds even better than the rough, and I thought that was already amazing."
Justin chuckled, "Your voice is amazing. I'm so glad you let me be apart of it."
"Of course! Everyone's going to love it," Ariana said, as she was typing away on her phone. Justin craned his neck to see what she was tweeting about, when he saw the familiar blue layout.
"@ArianaGrande: there's a mystery whisperer on the record as well...... it's up to him whether or not he'd like to reveal himself #10DaysUntilProblem"
head in the clouds, got no weight on my shoulders
i should be wiser, and realize that i've got
Ariana smiled as she started dancing to the music, along with her other dancers. After weeks of rehearsals, it was finally the actual recording, and she has been having so much fun. Problem was such an upbeat and different song than she has ever done, and so the music video has been quite different too.
"And cut! Good job everyone!"
Ariana smiled and walked over to Scooter, who was watching the scene they had just recorded for the Problem music video. "So? How is it? Do you like it?"
Scooter looked over at her and grinned. "Absolutely loved it. You did amazing as always." She giggled, nodding. "Thank you! What's next?"
Mr. Griffin looked up from the screen, "We'll record the scenes with you and Justin next. We'll finish the rest tomorrow, and also Iggy when she comes. Do you know when Justin will arrive?"
"Now." Ariana whipped her body around, a grin plastered on her face.
"Justin!" She ran up to him, throwing her arms around his neck as his hands gripped on her thighs that she clamped onto his hips.
"Ugh baby, your little black dress makes me wanna pin you against the wall," he whispered in her ear before setting her back down.
Ariana let out a loud laugh, a deep blush appearing on her cheeks. She smacked his chest before speaking, "Hurry up and get changed, we're filming our scenes next."
Justin winked at her, then waved to Scooter and Griffin before making his way to his dressing room.
one less problem without ya!
i got one less problem without ya!
i got one less problem without ya!
i got one less, one less problem
Justin peeled off his tank top, smirking at Ariana who was standing by Griffin, watching. Nodding at the director, he mentally prepared himself.
"One less problem without ya! I got one less problem without ya! I got one less problem without ya!" he whispered, moving his hands to his face and pointing upwards with one finger.
Ariana giggled at how cute he looked. He did that multiple times before it was Ariana's turn to join him.
"You two already know what to do, right?" Griffin clarified.
"Yep, I just touch Justin."
"Wow, did you plan this or Ariana?"
Ariana raised an eyebrow. "Why would you ask that?"
"Come on Ariana, I know you always wanted to touch me."
She laughed, smacking his bare muscle. "Shut up, Justin."
Griffin chuckled at the two. He loved working with people who had chemistry. "Okay, you guys got that down. What's the next scene?"
"I whisper my line in his ear."
Justin looked at Ariana, wiggling his eyebrows. "Ay yo mama, let me whisper in yo ear."
Her mouth fell agape, as a laugh escaped. "Justin!"
The crew workers passing by or was hanging around laughed. Even Griffin couldn't help but bellow his hearty laugh. Definitely a lot of chemistry.
"Come on guys, position...And, action!"
As Justin whispered his lines, Ariana stood besides him, trailing her fingers along Justin's toned upper body, lightly scratching his skin every once in a while, not that he minded.
A couple shots later, Ariana rested a delicate hand on his shoulders, her lips close to his ear as she whispered, "I got one less problem without you."
"Cut!"
Justin whipped his body and hand his hands on her hips. His lips were now by hers and he whispered, "I might need you to help me get rid of this one problem," before pulling her body closer to his.
i know you're never gonna wake up
i gotta give up, but it's you!
i know i shouldn't ever call back
or let you come back, but it's you!
every time you touch me and say you love me
i get a little bit breathless
i shouldn't want it, but it's you!
Ariana flinched, hiding her face in Justin's chest, but had an eye peeking out from behind the pillow she placed in front of her to stare at the tv screen. Justin chuckled, watching her, and cuddled in closer and wrapping the arm he had around her closer.
The two were currently watching The Conjuring in Justin's home theater. They were cuddling with blankets and pillows as the lady that was tied to the chair screamed and rocked in her chair, wanting to get free.
The brunette jumped when she screeched, making Ariana screech also.
"It's okay Ariana, it's just a movie. I'll protect you from any demons, okay?"
Giggling, she nodded. Suddenly, her phone buzzed, causing her to pick it up. Speaking of the devil, Ariana scowled when she saw the ID.
jai: ariana can we talk
jai: please? i know i made a mistake, but i miss you.. a lot
jai: answer me please, give another chance
Justin couldn't help but glance at who the messages were from, when he felt an annoyed vibe coming off of Ariana's body language, causing him to clench his jaw. What the fuck was Jai Brooks doing messaging his girl like that?
Before he could recover from calling Ariana his girl, her phone buzzed again.
jai: i still love you
Justin abruptly released Ariana, mumbling a quick, "Be right back," before leaving the room, closing the door behind him. Ariana raised an eyebrow, turning off the tv, throwing her phone on a nearby couch and following Justin outside. She saw him in his room balcony, looking out over the horizon.
She joined him, resting her head on his shoulder. "I know you hate me for giving him so much chances before, but know that I've learned from that. I don't ever plan on getting back together with him."
"I know," Justin whispered, a hand moving to her upper arm and rubbing them up and down. "I know you're smart enough not to, but I can't stand it when he tries to get you back. Like he messed up, get the fuck over it. Stop trying to get you back when he accused you of being a cheater just because he couldn't live with himself for letting you go."
"Justin calm down," Ariana giggled, as she noticed his demeanor turning tenser.
"Sorry. I guess I understand him though. I mean, if I lost an amazing girl like you, I would want her back too."
Ariana had a small smile on her lips. "What would I do without you?"
"I love you Ari."
"I love you too Justin." This is just what best friends are like with each other, right?
head in the clouds, got no weight on my shoulders
i should be wiser, and realize that i've got
Justin knocked on the door, nervously. A couple days ago, he mustered up all his courage to ask Ariana out for dinner. He was afraid of her answer, but when she said yes, he was elated. He didn't expect the next words to come out of her mouth though.
"This isn't like, a date or something right?" she said while giggling.
His heart dropped, but he remained his flirtatious self. "Unless you want it to be."
This was the first dinner date he's been on in a while. Yes, he still thinks it's a date. Ariana probably thought it was just some friendly dinner.
Sighing, he walked backwards, regretting his decision. What was he thinking? She only ever thought of him as friend. Why would he ever think that she would think any different?
Before he could turn away, the door swung open and so did his mouth.
Ariana was wearing an ankle length purple dress, with a halter top and an open back. Her hair was tied up in an elegant ponytail, and she had light makeup on. Justin couldn't stop staring.
"Justin?" Ariana smiled, closing the door behind her. She rested a hand on his chest before leaning up and pecking his cheek. "Let's go on this date."
one less problem without ya!
i got one less problem without ya!
i got one less problem without ya!
i got one less, one less problem
"So, what should the song be about?" Justin asked, before scooping a forkful of spaghetti into his mouth.
"Hm.. Definitely love," Ariana giggled. "It can be like two people who been hurt for so long and finally found love in each other. I think it'll make a super cute music video."
"As long as we kiss, I'm happy."
Ariana gasped, laughing. "Justin!"
"What?" Justin chuckled, drinking his wine. She shook her head, sipping on hers.
"But, don't worry. I'll work on the song, I promise. Then we'll go to the studio and take another teaser picture."
"I can't believe you did that. Everyone was so disappointed when I said that we didn't actually finish it!"
"I know, I'm sorry. But this time, I will write it, for sure. And it'll be absolutely perfect. It'll slay the charts."
Ariana giggled, dabbing her mouth with her napkin. "I'm sure it will. I mean, Justin Bieber is singing it."
"Well, Ms. Queen of Pop, ready to become Mrs. Queen of Pop?"
"What, I suspect you're the King of Pop?" Ariana raised an eyebrow.
"I mean, the hashtag is Ariana Bieber duet is it not?"
She shook her head, "I think it's time for you to get home."
Justin grinned, getting up from his chair. Pulling her chair out for her, she grabbed his outstretched hand and they walked arm in arm to Justin's car.
The car ride home was a comfortable silence, with Justin's hand on her thigh and her hand on his as she untied her ponytail to let the wind blow through her hair.
Justin couldn't help but fall in love with her beauty even more. The way her dimples appear with the slightest turn of the lips. The way her eyes shone and the way her white teeth made her smile even more beautiful than it already was. She was truly gorgeous inside and out.
They made it to Ariana's house, and Justin quickly slide over his car to open the door for her.
Smiling as she walked out of the car, holding hands with Justin, she led them to the front door. "Thank you for the amazing night. We need to do this more often."
"Yes, we do." Justin smiled down at her. He bit his lip, finding himself leaning in. Ariana knew what he was doing, and so she closed her eyes, smiling.
Do it. Just do it. She's waiting for you to do it. Justin never felt this stupid before. He quickly pecked her cheek. "I love you, Ariana."
The brunette blinked, before locking eyes with Justin. "I-I love you too Justin." She gave his hand a squeeze before walking inside her house.
Once she was inside and Justin was to his car, he punched the steering wheel, banging his head on the wheel. I should've kissed her.
Ariana sighed, leaning on the door. I should've kissed him.
it's iggy iggs! what you got?
smart money bettin' i'll be better off without you
in no time, i'll be forgettin' all about you
you saying that you know
but i really really doubt you
understand my life is easy
when I ain't around you
Ariana's eyes fluttered open, then squinting as she tried to adjust to the light that was shining through her window. Memories of last night flooded her brain, and she couldn't help but smile a huge smile. The dinner was absolutely amazing, and though she was hoping they would kiss, she couldn't contain the butterflies that were in her stomach.
She grabbed her phone by the nightstand, knowing that she would have a text from Justin.
justin: hey babe thank you for such an amazing night, i love you
She didn't expect another text though.
jai: ariana please, i just want to talk i'm in LA. is there any way we would talk?
Ariana sighed. She quickly replied to Justin first.
ariana: love u too! you made last night absolutely amazing and unforgettable
She switched messages to Jai's thread, staring at his text before typing.
ariana: i don't know.... every time we talk it always turns out bad
jai: i promise, talk to me this once and i'll leave you alone forever. please.
It wouldn't hurt to talk to him just once more right? She knew she had feelings for Justin already, so they wouldn't do anything. Plus, it would finally get him off her back.
ariana: fine but pull anything and you're out
An hour later, Ariana heard the dreadful knock on the door. She slowly walked to the door, taking her time. Swinging the door open, she came face to face with Jai.
"Hi."
"Ariana.. Hey. I missed you."
She just stared blankly at him. "Come in."
He nodded, walking in. She led him to the living room, waiting for him to sit down before sitting on the couch right across from him. They remained silent for a while, with him looking around the house, and Ariana staring at the coffee table in front of her. The wooden designs were more pleasing to look at than he who was in front of her.
"So um, how's life?" Jai finally spoke.
"Great." Her mind drifted off to why her life was so great; Justin. Speaking of him, how would he react to know that Jai was in her house talking to her right now?
to biggie to be here stressin, i'm thinkin' i love the thought of you
more than i love your presence
and the best thing now is probably for you to exit
i let you go, let you back, i finally learned my lesson!
"What do you even want to talk about, Jai?"
"Isn't it obvious? I miss you.. I miss us."
"Isn't it obvious?" she mocked. "I don't anything to do with you anymore."
"What are you talking about, Ariana? Don't you miss us?"
Ariana scoffed, gulping down her water from her water bottle. "Not really."
"Ariana.."
"Stop saying my name like that! As if I'm the one who's doing something wrong! You're the only one to blame here, Jai. Not me."
"I know, and I'm so sorry. I've been beating myself up for what I've done, and I can't say I'm sorry enough. I hurt you and I can't live with myself because of it."
"Whatever, your 'sorry's do not mean anything to me anymore. I'm over you, Jai. You need to get over me, too."
"But I can't Ariana.. I love you. I love you so much," Jai said, burying his face in his hands. "I know I screwed up and was so stupid-"
"Stupid? God, you're so much more than that. You told everyone that I cheated on you with Justin during the Believe tour."
"Who could blame me? He kissed you on the cheek! All I saw on twitter was that photo," Jai raised his voice, scooting closer to the edge of the couch.
"Exactly, he kissed me. And it was only on the cheek!"
"And you let him."
"Jai, he's my friend. I knew him for years. and it was a simple kiss on the cheek for a photo! You got so angry over it, and broke up with me. I'm not going to say I regret posting that photo for the sake of us. I'm not letting you ruin my friendship with Justin all because you didn't trust me enough."
Jai squinted his eyes at her, boring a suspicious look at her whilst she glared at him. "Why are you defending him? He's the one who ruined our relationship."
Ariana blinked rapidly. Was he serious? "What.. Justin ruined our relationship? Justin?"
"Yea, he did. He's such a player; he knew what words to say to you and I bet you fell for them. Wasn't he with that one hoe, Selena?"
The brunette got angry. "How dare you talk about Justin like that? He's done nothing but good to me in all of the years I knew him."
"Good? What's good in ruining our relationship?" Jai got noticeably more angry, and so did Ariana.
"And how about you, huh? What's good about telling everyone that I was a cheater because you couldn't stand the fact that you were no longer going to be known to anyone anymore? What's good about telling your whole family to turn on me and my family because you didn't want to look like the only stupid one? What's good about making me look like a fool in front of the whole damn world? Tell me Jai, what's so good about anything you've done?"
The Australian looked shocked. Ariana was now standing up, crossing her arms angrily as her eyes stared him down, waiting for an answer he didn't know. He slowly stood up, mustering up all the courage he could. He leaned over the table, to get closer to the brunette. "Yet you took me back."
"That was a mistake."
Jai raised an eyebrow, chuckling. "You still love me. Don't deny it Ariana."
"I don't love you anymore. You mean nothing to me," she spit in his face.
"You're a bitch."
"Get out of my house."
He walked away from the couch. around the coffee table, but instead of going straight to the door, he U-turned and pinned Ariana to a nearby wall. "Stop fighting it Ariana. We both know it. You're in love."
Ariana smirked, wiggling underneath his grasp. "I am, actually." She leaned up, her mouth besides his ear. "I'm in love with Justin."
no half-stepping either you want it or you just playin'
i'm listening to you knowin, i can't believe what you're sayin'
there's a million you's baby boo so don't be dumb
i got 99 problems, but you won't be one, like what!
"You're.. What?"
"You didn't hear me?" Ariana raised an amused eyebrow, pulling her arms out from Jai's grip.
"You got it right, I am in love. Just not with you." She slightly pushed him, enough to get him off of her body.
"What the fuck do you mean you're in love with Justin?!" Jai yelled, knocking down the vase of flowers that coincidentally Justin had got her onto the ground. Ariana's eyes widened. "When the hell did that happen?" he yelled in her face.
Ariana shook her head at him. "Ever since you left, we've remained in contact with each other, and became close. I started falling for him, and I didn't realize it, but I'm in love with Justin Bieber." She smiled a small smile, thinking of him.
Jai knew, and that got him angry. "You're in love with the guy who ruined our relationship?"
"Would you shut up? You always say that!" Ariana yelled. She usually never gets angry easily. "You act like our relationship was the most important thing in my life! Well, it wasn't Jai. Yes, you were my everything, but that didn't mean that my music and career and friends weren't either. I could live without you, so stop treating me lie some pathetic girl who needs a relationship to become stable. That sounds more like you."
"I am not pathetic. What's pathetic is that you believe that flop's flirting over me. He probably says what he tells you to every single girl. What about Hailey, huh? Kendall? Chantel? Yovanna?"
Ariana scoffed. She was friends with him when the rumors spread about him and those girls. They meant nothing. "You don't know Justin, Jai. He isn't what the media says about him. And you can call him whatever you want, but calling him a flop.. Wow, how ironic."
Jai glared at her, getting closer to her. "I was the one person who has always been there for you. Why are you acting like this?"
"Justin has always been there for me, okay? Especially when your sorry ass broke up with me. He comforted me when you labeled me as the cheater and so did everyone else. He believed me, and he cared for me, something you could never do for me." Ariana bit her lip, reminiscing the memory of Justin holding her as she cried, telling her sweet nothings and being there for her through the whole breakup. "He treated me like a princess and I'm not sorry for loving him the way I do. He makes me happy. And I don't think I've ever liked someone as much as I like him, not even you."
Jai clenched his fist together. Blood boiled and his eyes turned dark as he raised his hand. Before his hand met her cheek, however, he was knocked up and fell onto the ground.
Ariana gasped, eyes widening until a smile broke out on her face. He looked over to her, immediately bringing a hand to cup her cheeks and another to grasp her hand. "Ari, baby, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
"No, I'm okay, only because you're here." She threw her arms around him, bringing their bodies closer. He smiled as he nuzzled into her neck, before whipping his head to the Aussie who was on the floor, groaning.
one less, one less problem,
one less, one less problem
head in the clouds, got no weight on my shoulders
i should be wiser and realize that i've got
"What the fuck did you think you were going to do?"
"Justin, get the fuck out. This is Ariana and my problem."
"Really? Because once you threaten her, it's not just your problem anymore. It's mine too."
"She deserves it-"
Scoffing, he interrupted him. "The only thing that she deserves is someone who loves her endlessly and cares about her, and that's definitely not you."
"What, so it's you?"
Justin smiled, turning behind him to stare at the brunette. "Yea. I love her, and I care about her. If you feel like she deserves something, it's not a slap in the face. It's you who deserves that, to knock some sense into you. Ariana deserves to be happy, and she's not when she's around you."
"Ariana, how could you? I thought you loved me!"
"I did. I did love you Jai." She walked in front of Justin, closer to Jai. "But not anymore. You hurt me, Jai. You hurt me so much, and I was so dumb and blind to see it. Justin helped me realize what true love is, and as cruel as it sounds, I have nothing for you anymore."
Jai breathed heavily, looking back and forth at Ariana and Justin. "But.."
"You will get over me, Jai. I'm not any special. You can find someone more deserving and loving than me, but I found someone else Jai. You can't satisfy everyone, and you no longer make me happy. I'm so sorry."
Jai nodded. Without saying a word, he left, for real this time. He walked right out the door into his car, and down the road, hands gripping the wheel as if it was the only thing left of him, since a part of him already left and loved someone else.
Ariana felt herself being spun around, and a pair of lips met hers. She smiled in the kiss, her fluttering closed. Justin's hands rested on her hips and Ariana's on his shoulders.
After a few moments, they released each other, foreheads touching as they steadied their breathing. "You are special Ariana. You're deserving and loving and mine."
one less problem without ya!
i got one less problem without ya!
i got one less problem without ya!
i got one less, one less problem
"So, Ariana? I heard the recent news. You and Justin?"
Ariana giggled, nodding.
"You guys arrived at the Grammy awards together, holding hands and kissing," the interviewer paused, looking over at the screen behind them, which was a slideshow of candids of the two, making Ariana blush. "And then later, you two both posted this photo.." The screen changed to two photos of Ariana sitting on Justin's lap, both of them smiling into the camera, and then another one, in the same position, but of them kissing. "With the caption,
"@arianagrande: loves, i'm happy to say that i've found love in a someone who i've always seen as an inspiration to all. he makes so many people happy, and he makes me so happy also. @justinbieber has been apart of my life and career for so long that the love grew and i'm happy to share this with you. i hope u understand."
"The reactions were priceless. I did not expect the amount of positivity and energy that my loves shared with me, and the support for Justin and me was amazing. After my last nasty breakup, I didn't expect to find love again.
"But I got one less problem without him. And Justin was the solution."
