Ariana's P.O.V.
"Somethin' bout you makes me feel like a dangerous woman
Somethin' bout, somethin' bout, somethin' bout you
Makes me wanna do things that I shouldn't
Somethin' bout, somethin' bout, somethin' bout"I look down at my lyric journal and sing out loud.
The page is titled Dangerous Woman.
I haven't been writing music lately as much as I used to back in high school. I started this song a few months ago during the summer, right after me and Justin moved down here to Palo Alto. I forgot about it and never finished writing it.
This song holds a special place in my heart because it reminds me of the first night me and Justin made love.
Today is Novembed third, my seven month anniversary with Justin and it only felt right to finish writing this song for him. I've been working on it for a few hours but it might not be finished by the end of the day, only because I want to play this song as a piano piece. I need to find a way to get access to a piano so I can play with a few keys and make the rhythm in sync with the lyrics.
"All girls wanna be like that
Bad girls underneath, like that
You know how I'm feeling inside
Somethin' bout, somethin' bout"I continue to sing to myself.
"New song?"I hear Justin's voice and immediately turn around, startled. Justin stands at the door, arms folded, a smile on his face, and his body leaned up against the door frame.
"Umm...yeah"I nod while quickly shutting my notebook closed and trying to hide it away from Justin's view. I slide it under the bed mattress before turning my gaze back on Justin.
"It's been awhile since you've written music"He says. "It has hasn't it?"I agree and stand up from my bed once my lyric journal is completely hidden.
"What's the new song your writing about?"He asks curiously. "It's about you"I answer him and wrap my arms around his neck once I reach him, our bodies now pressed together.
"Oh really?"He smirks and I nod. "Can I hear it?"He asks. "Not yet"I shake my head no.
"Why not?"He pouts. "Because, it's a piano ballad and I want to sing it to you when I have a piano to play"I tell him.
"I know where a piano is that you might be able to play on. You busy Friday night? I could take you?"He offers.
"Where might this piano be?"I ask and narrow my eyes at him. "You'll just have to wait and see. Are you busy or not?"He asks me again, making me nervous for whatever he has planned for Friday night.
"No, I'm not busy"I agree to go anyways. Maybe whatever he has in store for us might not be as bad as I think.
"Great"He smiles and kisses me. "You hungry?"He asks me. "Starved"I say. I haven't eaten since noon. I've been busy writing Dangerous Woman all afternoon.
"Stay right here"He tells me and backs out of the room.
He comes back mere seconds later holding a takeout bag of sushi, a bouquet of flowers, and one of my favorite movies, Harry Potter.
"Happy anniversary"He tells me, bringing a huge smile to my face.
"Aww babe, you shouldn't have"I tell him. "You know I couldn't pass getting you some sort of a gift on our anniversary. I know it's not much but I love you and I had to get you something"He tells me.
"I love you too. I wish my song was ready and that I had a piano so I can sing it to you as a gift in return"I tell him.
"Don't feel sorry for not getting me anything Ariana. You'll just play your song for me on friday, it's no big deal"He says and kisses me again.
I grab the bouquet of flowers and smell them, their fresh scent consuming my lungs.
"These are beautiful, thank you"I tell Justin before placing them in a vase along with other flowers on our bedside table.
"Here"Justin says and hands me the sushi takeout bag. "I'll put in the movie, go ahead and start eating"He tells me and I nod.
I take a seat on our bed and begin taking out our sushi platters while Justin gets the movie ready for us to watch.
Justin really is the best boyfriend a girl could possibly have. Sushi and Harry potter, two things that I love. Justin gets me the smallest of things but they make me super happy. I don't need diamond necklaces or expensive gifts, all I need is Justin and I'll be completely happy, even if he doesn't buy me things. We could be homeless and broke but I'll still always love him.
I begin taking out both sushi platters from inside the takeout bag and gasp once I see that the platters are heart shaped.
"This is so cute"I smile down at the platter. "I knew you would love it"Justin says while placing the DVD into the player. He grabs the tv remote and sits down next to me on the bed.
I hand Justin his platter and place mine in front of me. My stomach grumbles and my mouth waters as I open my sushi platter.
"This looks absolutely delicious"I say while grabbing my chopsticks. I grab one of the rolls with my chopsticks and place it into my mouth.
I moan from how good the food tastes.
"You're the best"I tell Justin. "I know"He shrugs and I chuckle.
The menu pops up on the tv screen and Justin presses play with the remote.
The movie begins to play while we both eat our sushi platters.
I moan again, the food filling my empty stomach and tasting so good.
"Stop moaning, it's turning me on"Justin tells me and I roll my eyes.
"Everything I do turns you on, control yourself. I'm trying to enjoy my food"I tell him.
"Its not my fault that your so beautiful and so fucking perfect"He says and plops a sushi roll from my platter into his mouth.
"That's not my fault either. God created me so have a talk with him if there's a problem. And don't touch my food again or I will punch you, I'm so serious. You have your own platter"I say and shove Justin. I grab a roll from his platter to replace the one he took from mine.
"You wouldn't punch me"He says. "Try me and I will. Now shut up, I'm trying to watch Harry potter"I tell him and he laughs.
We both finish our food before cuddling and continuing to watch the movie.

Justin's P.O.V.
I'm awaken by the sounds of Ariana whimpering.
The room is dark and the clock reads one a.m.
"Ariana, what's wrong?"I ask her as her head lays on my chest. "Why are you crying?"I ask her, concerned.
I lift her head up so she can look at me. I begin to wipe away the tears that are coming down her face.
"I have really bad cramps, I think my monthly is about to pay a visit"She says.
"Baby I'm so sorry"I tell her, hating when she goes on her period. Every month she cries at least once from how bad her pain feels.
She places her head back on my chest and I begin to stroke her soft hair.
"What can I do to make you feel better?"I ask her. She doesn't answer me right away.
"You could get me some ice cream"She tells me. "What kind? I'll go buy you a small bucket of ice cream right now"I tell her.
I know it's one o'clock in the morning but I dont care. If ice cream is what Ariana wants, than ice cream is what she will get.
"Cookies and cream"She answers me.
"Okay, I'll go buy you a tube of cookies and cream ice cream. I'll be right back princess"I kiss her head and begin to get out of bed. She lays her head on a pillow and crouches up in a ball, still in pain. I cover her more with the bedsheets before turning away and grabbing one of my sweaters to place over my bare chest.
I slip on a pair of shorts over my boxers, slide on a pair of shoes, and grab my phone and keys before leaving.
I hop into my car and drive down to a mini mart only a few minutes away, that's still open.
There are only two cars in the parking lot when I arrive.
I walk into the mini mart and pass by two guys with black hoodies on.
I head straight to the back of the store, only focusing on what I came here for. I open up one of the refrigerators and find a small tube of cookies and cream ice cream.
I close the refrigerator and walk up to the cash register where a middle aged man with glasses sits, reading a newspaper.
He notices me come up to the register and puts his newspaper down.
"Will that be all?"He asks me and I nod. He grabs the tube of ice cream and rings it up.
"That will be $3.25"He says and I nod. I rummage around my pockets for the money.
"Hey, you two have to pay for that. You can't just leave"The cashier in front of me shouts to someone behind me.
I turn my head and see both of the guys with black hoodies, walking towards the exit of the store with a few unpaid snacks and drinks in their hands.
They pay no attention to the cashier and keep walking towards the exit.
"I said you have to pay for that!"The cashier shouts louder this time.
They both turn around, one of them bringing out a gun. I widen my eyes at the sight.
He shoots at the security camera in the store, shattering the glass. The sound of the gunshot makes me and the cashier jump.
The two guys remove their hoodies from on top of their heads, giving me and the cashier a better look at their faces.
The one who shot the security camera with his gun has rugged black hair, piercings along his ear, and a lip ring. The guy standing next to him has dirty blonde hair and stubble growing on his face.
"Get down, now!"The guy with the gun yells at me and I do as he says.
"Give me all your damn money! If you don't, I won't hesitate to pull the trigger on this one"He yells at the cashier and points his gun at me.
The cashier begins to quickly grab all the money from inside his cash register. He than shakily gives the blonde all the money.
The one with a gun on me, slowly backs away with his blonde friend, his gun still on me.
A few seconds later they run out of the store and jump into one of the cars, immediately driving away.
I stand back up and look at the baffled cashier register.
"This is just fantastic"The cashier sarcastically says while shaking his head in distress, making me begin to feel sorry for him.
"I'm gonna have to call the police and have them file a report"He mumbles to himself, me still in on front of him.
"Sorry about those guys, I hope they get caught"I give him a sincere smile.
"Here's a ten dollar bill"I hand him the money. "Your ice cream was only $3.25"He looks at me confused. "I know but I insist that you take all ten dollars"I tell him and he takes the bill from my hands.
"Thank you"He thanks me. "Have a good night"I tell him and walk out the store with the ice cream.
I get in my car and drive back home, still a bit shaken from what just happened at the mini mart.
I walk into the dark apartment and head to the kitchen first. I grab a spoon and than head to my bedroom.
Ariana still lays on our bed, crouched up in the same position she was in when I left her.
"Ariana, sit up. I brought your ice cream"I tell her and hold up the tube of cookies and cream for her to see.
She slowly sits up and I give her the ice cream along with a spoon.
I strip of my clothes, down to my boxers and sit down next to her.
"Thank you Justin"She thanks me and begins to open up her ice cream. "No problem"I tell her and kiss her cheek.
It takes her twenty minutes to eat her ice cream.
When she's done, we lay back down and hold each other close.
I softly sing Isn't she lovely by Stevie wonder into her ear while rubbing circles onto her back until she falls asleep.
I do this until I fall asleep as well.
