Chapter 4:
"Girls." He says and they greet him obediently, almost like trained golden retrievers.
"I got someone to introduce you to." He puts his arm around Ariana and you can see her tense from his touch.
"As you may have already fucking guessed, this is Ariana Grande, and she's Agreed to be a wife. Lucky for you girls, you get to hangout with an a-list celebrity all Goddamn day. How cool is that?!" He chuckles with a grin and pulls his arm away.
"I'll leave you girls to braid each other's hair and all that shit. I'll be back later." He winks at Ariana and closes the door. You can hear him lock it from the outside.
Ariana tries the door knob and it's indeed locked. She then awkwardly turns back to the two girls. One was brunette the other had pretty natural red hair. They were both in black dresses that were rather similar.
The one with the red hair approached her first, clearing her throat. "Hi. I'm Frankie." She said with a smile. "You're like- really her?!" She said with a sweet excited smile. It actually put Ariana at ease. Kind of kept her mind off the whole situation, like she was at a meet and greet with fans.
"Excuse her, she's a big fan. She has one of your cd's she listens to like all the time, on MY radio." The brunette said a bit annoyed. "I'm Tanya." She said, introducing herself Ariana nodded.
"Nice to meet you two." Ariana said with a smile. They were pretty nice, but she was still shocked she was one of three wives, why did he need so many anyways? Why did he need her if he had them? She wondered, as she looked around the nicely furnished room. It was a breath of fresh air. Reminded her of her luxurious life before the dead took over.
Another girl with darker skin sat up from a couch with a yawn. She must have been napping before.
"Jasmyne!" She introduces herself then stands up with another yawn.
"Woah. You're like, actually her!" She says with surprise in her voice as she lines up with the other wives.
"That's what I said!" Frankie said with a wide grin of excitement.
"So, what's little miss Hollywood, doing all the way in shitsville virginia?" Tanya asked, studying her. "I'm from California too, San francisco to be exact." She adds, awaiting Ariana's response.
Ariana cleared her throat.
"I was on tour, I had a concert over here, when, well you know…" she says softly and Frankie nods lightly.
"Oh yeah! I totally remember now! That's so cool! I mean- not the world ending, but you know." Frankie added in before trailing off. The girls were silent for a long while. Til Ariana spoke up.
"So, uh, what's it like, being, his wife?" she asked looking from girl to girl. "I mean, he didn't exactly give me instruction, just that- that's what I am now." she said and the girls could see worry in her eyes.
"Don't worry." Frankie said. "It's not that bad." she assured her, and Ariana looked over at Jasmyne, who just shrugged.
"I mean, we don't have to work for points, he gets us whatever we ask for before he and the others go out on a run, and he doesn't make us do anything we don't wanna do." She said and Ariana furrowed her eyebrows.
"He made me become his wife when I didn't want to." She says thinking about the events that happened just this morning.
Frankie furrowed her eyebrows as well. "He didn't give you a choice?" She asked. "Tanya, Jasmyne and I volunteered." she adds looking over at Tanya who rolled her eyes.
"Let me guess, he said, do this or someone dies?" she questioned and Ariana nodded. Tanya shrugged yet again.
"There you have it, you could have said no, someone just would have died is all." she explains and Ariana sighs.
"I couldn't let him do that." Ariana says and Tanya walks away.
"Whatever. It was your choice, now you gotta live with it." She says sitting at a bar stool, picking at her nails. Jasmyne and Frankie lead her over to the couch.
"Don't listen to her. It's really not bad being a wife, you'll like it." Frankie assures her and Jasmyne nods in agreement.
Ariana nodded. She had never felt so trapped her whole life, but the girls were making it a lot easier for her. Though, they all had a choice, and Ariana didn't.
Ariana clears her throat. "So what do you guys do every day?" She asks and the other two girls on the couch and they just kind of shrug.
"We just kinda sit around all day, do what we want. Read old magazines. Do our hair. Drink. Do our nails." Frankie said.
"Wait around til Negan needs one of us." Jasmyne adds and Ariana looks suddenly uncomfortable. Jasmyne starts to touch Ariana's hair now.
"Girl, you've got so many split ends. Never in my day would I think I'd see Ariana fucking Grande with this many split ends." She tsks and Ariana blushes with a small laugh.
"Yeah, not like there are very many salons around anymore." She jokes and Jasmyne raises her eyebrows.
"I went told beauty school. Give me 30 minutes and I'll get your hair back to beauty in NO time!" She says and Arianna nods in agrees.
Jasmyne snipped, and fussed with Ariana's hair. it was the first time she had relaxed in a while and forgotten where she was. When Jasmine was done with it, Ariana was in awe.
Her hair was still long. Just trimmed nicely. And flat ironed too. It was beautiful again. Like before the world ended.
"You are a miracle worker!" Ariana exclaimed and hugged her new friend. They both laughed lightly, and that's when their new found friendship was interrupted.
"Well would you look at that! My girls all getting along nicely!" Ariana's eyes followed to where the voice came from. There it was, that grin that made her sick. Ariana frowned and separated herself from Jasmyne.
Negan approached and grabbed Ariana's ponytail. "Well would you look at that." He looks down at her.
"Getting all dolled up for me, huh?" He grins again and Ariana feels uncomfortable yet again. Like she's drowning.
"Thanks for fixing her up for me, Jasmyne." He says, as soon as the words leave his mouth, Ariana feels like she's sinking. She looks over at Jasmyne betrayed. Had she just done her hair so she would look good for Negan, not because she wanted told be friends?
"Welp, time to go. See ya girls." He says, as he grabs Ariana by the wrist. She felt dizzy, and went where he dragged her off to. So much has happened in the last six hours. It took her brain a moment to come up with a response.
"Where are you taking me now?" She asks and Negan snickers at her.
"To the bedroom, Time to consummate this marriage!" He says excited, leaving Ariana looking shocked and horrified once his words register.
