"Okay," Ramona replied. "Oops."

"Ariani! Wake yo' dumbass up!"
Even though Ariani was still squinting while trying to adjust to the light, she waved her arms around with strength as if a large fly was buzzing around her.
𝘚𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘬!
"Ow, what the fuck? You slapped my fucking face!"
Ariani flopped her arms on her bed lazily. "That's the point, dickhead. I am not the one to play with, you better get that through your dicky head, dickhead."
"What the hell did I even do?"
"You called me a dumbass while trying to wake me up. Those two don't go well together."
"I was joking, you don't always have to be so serious."
Ariani sat up after her eyes finally adjusted to the light. Her eyes lit up once she saw who was looking back at her. "Ravon? Babe, oh my gosh, I thought you were my mom! I'm so sorry!"
Ravon stared at Ariani, puzzled.
"You thought I was your mom...?" he muttered. "We don't sound alike... were your ears also adjusting to the light or something?"
"No, Ravon!! Oh my gosh, I'm so happy you're here!"
Ariani grabbed her boyfriend's face and started kissing him all over while he cringed at her morning breath.
𝘖𝘩𝘩𝘩𝘩 𝘮𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘴𝘩, 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘴! Ravon thought. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘪𝘯'𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨?
Ariani parted from Ravon's now wet face and smiled. "What's on your mind, babe?"
He frowned and wiped his cheek with his hand. "Um, nothing."
"I just took a nap, I was so tired a few hours ago!"
"Why?"
Ariani sighed and rolled her eyes. "Because everyone was being so annoying and tiring me out; even you."
"Oh... well I decided to take you out for ice cream and a small walk around the park since you seem very stressed right now."
"Oh, no, I cannot! I have a fashion show sometime in May and I have to keep my waistline in check. Ugh, and I 𝘢𝘮 stressed, I'm just very like, not prepared. Like at ALL."
"Well, you don't gotta worry 'cause you'll slay the fashion show like you do always!"
Ariani raised an eyebrow as she stared at her boyfriend as if he did something very, very wrong. "Since when did you start using the word 'slay?' Why're you copying me and 𝘮𝘺 vocabulary? I'm the girl, you're the boy, you can't talk like me! If you talk like me then the roles gon' be reversed and it's gonna be confusing! Oh my gosh, are you trans? I mean, I support but..."
Ravon sighed as he listened to his girlfriend blabber non-stop about something that shouldn't be blabbered non-stop about.

"And that's why it's not impossible for men to get pregnant," Ariani stated, concluding her claim.
It was obvious that Ravon had not been paying attention during the duration of his girlfriend's speech as you could tell by looking at his surprised and confused expression.
"I thought we were talking 'bout my access to the word 'slay' here?" he told her along with an eyebrow raise.
"Yeah, but I changed the subject. So what?"
"Nothing. You wanna walk now?"
"Yeah, sure." Ariani smiled. Ravon narrowed his eyebrows at the sudden wind of stench that came from her mouth.
"Wait, what park is you taking me to?"
"Um, MLK Forest Park. Why?"
"Oh, good," Ariani said. "It ain't the one with the bears and stuff."
"Which one is that?"
Ariani raised her eyebrows and squinted her eyes, trying to recall the name of "the park with the bears and stuff."
"Hmm... I think it was Riverdale Forest Park. Or Lakedale... wait actually, no. Scratch that. It was Rivernaut, definitely."
"Hundred percent?"
"Yup!" Ariani smiled, giving her boyfriend a thumbs-up.
"Ew, you're so cringe."
Ariani rolled her eyes are flopped her hands back down on her lap. "Boy, please."
Ravon got up off Ariani's bed and let out his hand to help her up.
"Aww, you wanna help me up? That's so sweet." Ariani said, gazing into her boyfriend's beautiful brown eyes.
Ravon stared into her eyes but looked away quickly, thinking the most outrageous thoughts. 𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯'𝘵 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘰 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘱 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘺𝘱𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘺 𝘣𝘭𝘶𝘦 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘴? 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵!
"Let's go now!" Ariani said. She took her boyfriend's hand in hers and started to march towards the main door.

"Y'know it's really nice that you'd take me out, right?" Ariani told Ravon.
"Man, of course, y'know I'd do anything for you." He tried to wrap his arm around Ariani's shoulder but to his surprise, she pushed his arm away!
"What did you just call me?" Ariani asked sharply. She stopped in her tracks and narrowed her eyebrows. Ariani smirked a bit, trying to contain her laughter. She was trying to annoy Ravon by acting like a drama queen.
"I ain't call you nothin'," Ravon replied, confused. He stared at a bird feeding its offspring while thinking about what he possibly did wrong this time.
"Yes, you did! Your dumbass called me... *ugh* a MAN!"
Ravon narrowed his eyebrows, baffled at his girlfriend's delusions. "What? When?"
"Just now! You was like, 'MAN, of course, y'know I'd do anything for you.'"
Ravon scratched his neck and stared into his girlfriend's eyes which to him, looked like they held a lot of answers. Ariani stared back, and to her, her boyfriend's eyes looked like they contained a lot of questions.
"Oh. Well, um, 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯, y'know I'd do anything for you."
"If you say so," the woman sighed.
The pair continued to walk as cameras and excited fans could be seen from every angle.
"GET AWAY FROM ME. GET AYE-WAY FROM ME." Ariani yelled, clapping her hands at every syllable that went out of her mouth.
A fan jumped at her sudden outburst and sadly walked away.
"Ugh, my fans are so annoying, I hope they all die."
Ravon raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Woah! You're wishing like, half the world's population to pass! An-and I'm a fan too!"
"Oh, I forgot about you, sorry babe! I hope they all die except my loved ones."
Ravon didn't reply to his girlfriend's concerning comment and continued walking. The couple continued to stroll around the park until a crying little boy stopped them.
"Excuse me? I can't find my parents!" he sobbed.
"Um, what's that gotta do with me?" Ariani snarled.
"Ariani!" Ravon snapped. "He's a crying little boy for Pete's sake!"
Ariani snapped right back at her boyfriend. "For the love of Pete, Ravon, I don't care!"
The little boy wiped his tears. "Who's Pete?"
"Whatever," Ravon muttered as he rolled his eyes. "Moving on. Excuse me, boy, what's your name?"
"Um, Jalil."
"Okay, Jalil, where did you last see your parents?"
"I last saw them near the fountain that you put your pennies and quarters and dimes in, but then I was chasing a butterfly and I lost my way!"
"You're a really dumb kid," Ariani snickered. "Why would you ever chase a butterfly?"
"Ariani, don't tell a lil' kid that they're dumb for chasing a butterfly, that's something any kid would do."
Jalil stared at the ground. "It's okay, I know I'm dumb, you're probably way better than me."
Ariani clapped her hands like a seal. "Period! You finally got something right!"
Shocked by this behavior, Ravon snapped at her. "Y'know what, Ariani you need to shut up. How dare you talk to this little kid like that?"
"What, is he your son now? You have a secret wife you ain't tellin' me about?"
"Shut your bitchy mouth down, I'm just tryna (trying to) help the kid."
"I do not care. He's wasting our time."
Suddenly, a gasp of relief could be heard. "Jalil!"
Jalil quickly whipped his head around to find a man and woman smiling at him. The man held his arms out as Jalil ran to him.
"Finally, you got your annoying, dumb son. Can you believe that he was chasing a butterfly the second before he got lost?"
Ravon stared at his girlfriend, looking horrified at her comment. "Ariani!"
"What?"
The woman stepped up to Ariani. "Ms. Rosé, I am a journalist and news reporter, and this event 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 be making headlines. All of your fans must see how rude and conceited you are."
"What?! That's outrageous!"
Ravon side-eyed his girlfriend and sighed.
"Expect to see your name in a bad light today," the woman said. She took her son's hand and the family left.
"Ariani, you need to be nicer. The little boy didn't do anything to you!"
"Well, he wasted my time."
To this statement, Ravon said nothing and the pair walked in silence.
