my best friends girlfriend

Meeting

Y/n POV

"I felt absolutely terrible" Dalton said as I pulled into a parking spot

"She forgave you, that's all that matters in the end, but you need to work on wanting to go public. Who knows how she's feeling. She's spent most of her life in the public and eye and to be with someone who wants nothing to do with the public is so hard" I tried to explain

"I know, but I don't know if I'll ever be ready to go public... well I guess I have to get used to being public since I'm already out there" he rolled his eyes at the thought of not having privacy

"See, nope. We're not doing that. You can't blame Ariana for what happened. She didn't know there were paparazzi. None of us did. You're just going to have to suck it up, because in the end, if you really love Ariana, you won't care as long as you're with her" I said

He looked at me with a certain look on his face. Like my words were sinking into the right spot

"Okay" he said looking down into his lap like a little kid does when they get in trouble

"Good. Now, are you ready to go in?" I asked

He nodded

"Then let's go" I said turning off the car and making sure I had everything before actually stepping out

Dalton and I walked into the building together as we talked about Ariana a bit more

"I think it's crucial that you realize that she won't settle for anything less than what she's had before so she could leave you if you don't get your shit straight. I really don't want you getting hurt because of it. You just need to learn how to deal with the public eye and not take everything out on Ariana because she simply can't control it" I told him

He nodded

"Hey Kelly" I smiled and nodded at her as we walked in

"Y/n" she greeted me back

"I'll see you later" I told dalton because I wanted to talk to Kelly

He nodded and proceeded to go to the elevator so he can make it to his office

"How was your night?" I asked

"So relaxing. You're right, those bath salts do wonders" she said

"I've been telling you" I smiled

"I should've listened sooner" she said

"Yea, you should have" I laughed a little

"Oh shut up" she lightly shoved my shoulder

"I'll see you later" I said as I started to walk to the stairs

"You too" she smiled

As I'm about to check my email, my door opens

"Did you see the email?" Dalton asked

I shook my head no before I spoke
