AN: So, this is my first slash fic. I have no idea if it's going to be any good so please review and let me know. :)
Chapter 1
Kendall could be so oblivious some times. It was obvious to everyone in 2J that James had a major crush on him and that Kendall liked him back. Every time James tried to make a move on him, he would shy away which wasn't what Kendall usually did.
So James had a plan. It was devious and it was sure to work. Kendall would be his soon.
He flipped out his phone and called on of his best friends that had been left behind in Minnesota. James had been friends with Amber since before he could remember, longer then he knew Kendall, Logan and Carlos. They had no idea who she was because she moved away just after he met his three band mates but then she moved back a year before James left to L.A. They didn't know why they kept their friendship a secret but during that year, the two had a relationship which only lasted for six months because to them, it was like dating a sibling.
"Hey Amber. It's James." James said once the girl picked up.
"Hey Jamie! How's L.A.? I've got some great news to tell you!" Amber replied, excitement evident in her voice as she talked to one of her best friends.
"It's great. And what's up? Oh, and I have to ask you a favour." James stated.
"Sure, you go first."
"Ok, would you fake go out with me to make Kendall jealous?" James asked, a pleading note in his voice.
"Whoa, you like Kendall?" Amber questioned. There wasn't any resentment in her voice that said she was homophobic, just excitement. After all, she knew that James was bi.
"Yes." James answered shortly. "You're not with anyone are you?"
"Nope." Amber laughed, making a popping sound for the p.
"Good, then you can help me. Come to L.A. for a few weeks and make him jealous. All you have to do is kiss me and be all cute. Can you do that?" James said.
"Of course I can. I just love kissing you James." She teased him. "Anyways, I can stay for more than a few weeks."
"So is that a yes? And what do you mean?"
"It's a yes and I mean that dad got a job up in L.A. with his building stuff. The manager of a new store so the offer was too good to turn down. I'm moving to L.A." Amber almost squealed witch was strange because she was more of a tom-girl than a girly girl.
"That's awesome!" James laughed. "When you coming?"
"A couple of weeks. We just got told yesterday so things are pretty hectic around here."
"I know what you feel like. It was the same for us when we moved here. Anyways, thanks so much! You're a life saver." James thanked.
"No problem." The shout of 'Amber' came through the phone before she said she was coming. "Sorry, got to go. Talk soon yeah?"
"Yeah, talk soon. Love you." James smiled.
"Love you too Jamie." She laughed before hanging up.
James sighed happily thinking about Kendall. He would be so jealous. After years of waiting and sexual tension, they would finally be together. He could almost laugh.
The door to his and Logan's room opened and Kendall stuck his head in. James looked up and smiled at him. He was gorgeous as usual.
"Hey James. Dinner's ready." He told him. James nodded.
"I'll be there in a sec." James replied and Kendall nodded before walking out.
James sighed and thanked god that Kendall and Jo had broken up.
He got up and walked into the living room for dinner.
TWO WEEKS LATER
"James!" Amber squealed and ran over to him, dropping her bags and launching herself at him. James laughed as he brought her into a hug. Amber had long flowing brown hair which went to her lower back and was completely straight. She had a pair of green eyes which could be light of dark depending on the light.
"Hey Amber!"
They stood there for a few moments while Amber's parents walked over. Mrs Sailing was like her daughter. Beautiful brown hair which was shoulder height but she had hazel eyes which always had a shine in them. Mr Sailing was a different story. He had short black hair and a pair of grey eyes.
"Hello James." Amber's mum greeted, a warm smiled stretching her lips. James pulled away from Amber and greeted her in a hug.
"Hey Mrs Sailing. It's good to see you again."
"You've grown a lot James. You're so handsome" Mrs Sailing said as they pulled away. James laughed and scratched the back of his neck.
"Hey James. Long time, no see." Mr Sailing grinned as they shook hands.
"Hey Mr Sailing." James smiled at him.
James stepped back next to Amber who had left to get the bags she dropped while they greeted each other.
"You're too tall Jamie." Amber said as she stood on her tippy toes trying to match his height.
"Give it up Panda. You're not tall and you never will be." Amber rolled her eyes at her childhood nickname.
"No one calls me that anymore Jamie." She stated.
"Well, no one calls me 'Jamie'." James countered.
"Touché." Amber replied before turning around. "Let's go find a car."
James grinned at her antics.
"Let me carry some of you bags." He told her and then took hold of one of Amber's and Mrs Sailing suitcases.
"Thanks Jamie." Amber replied as they made their way through the busy airport.
After ten minutes of going through security checks and lines, then were finally seated in a yellow cab with James, Amber and Mrs Sailing in the back and Mr Sailing in the passenger.
"So James. What's this about you using Amber to make someone jealous?" Mr Sailing said, trying to sound menacing but he couldn't quite pull it off.
Amber rolled her eyes as James replied.
"Uhh, yeah."
Amber and Mrs Sailing laughed at his lame reply and Mr Sailing tried to hold back a chuckle.
"Dad, let it go. This'll be fun. Anyways, from what James has told me, Kendall likes him back but he doesn't want to admit it so we're just giving him a push in the right direction." Amber told him.
After James had called her to get her to help him, a few days later they figured out everything and soon the plan was in motion. James told Kendall, Carlos and Logan about Amber, an ex-girlfriend coming over. And that they only broke up because a long distance relationship wasn't working.
"Yeah." James said, "It's nothing too bad."
They were cut off from answering as the cab pulled over to a block of apartments was situated. It was about a ten minute walk from the Palmwoods. The four got out and while Mr Sailing paid for the ride, James, Amber and Mrs Sailing got the bags out from the car.
Not even five minutes later they were standing in a rather large apartment. The four looked around at the new home and then Amber broke the silence.
"I'm picking my bedroom!" She shouted before dropping her bags and running through the apartment like a mad man. James laughed and followed her into the hallway. He walked into the room that she ran into the laughed at what he saw.
Amber was jumping on the double bed with a massive smile on her face.
"This is my room. Come and bounce with me, the bed is so springy!" Amber laughed.
James grinned at her playfulness and complied, jumping on the bed with his fake girlfriend.
After a couple of minutes, Amber and James were laying on the bed next to each other, panting from the workout.
"That was fun." James admitted and Amber nodded.
It was silent as the two basked in each other's presence after not seeing each other in so long. Mr and Mrs Sailing walked in and smiled at the pair. They never knew why they broke up. It seemed like they were perfect for each other but it just didn't work out. They were still lucky they could keep a close relationship after the brake up.
"You guys gonna unpack of what?" Mrs Sailing said and the two on the bed looked up. They nodded in sync and both sat up and got Amber's suitcases. They brought them back to the room and unpacked them. It was silent while they packed away her clothes.
"Nice bra." James snickered as he held up a pink, purple, green, blue, yellow and orange bra. Amber laughed and grabbed it off him.
"What are you doing going through my underwear?" She teased.
"It's not my fault you don't name your boxes." The two laughed.
"Is all your other stuff getting here by a moving truck?" James asked as he opened another box, this one full of t-shirts.
"Yeah, it should be here in the next few days." Amber replied.
The conversation quickly turned up from there as the two reflected on their funniest moments back in Minnesota.
"Guys, dinner." Mr Sailing called through the apartment.
The two got up and left Amber's room, laughing while they did. They got to the living room and sat down at the dinner table where they were met by a mouth-watering pasta dish. The two dug in and James groaned at the amazing taste of it.
"I miss your cooking Mrs Sailing." He sighed before scoffing the rest down.
Amber and James seemed to be in a contest to see who could eat there's the quickest. James finished first and yelled out a triumphant 'HA' and pointed into Amber's face.
Amber scowled at him good naturedly and ate the rest of hers. They both got a second helping of the heavenly pasta and this time they took their time with it.
Halfway through their dish, the chorus of 'Famous' filled the air as James phone began ringing. He excused himself and answered it in the kitchen, smirking as he saw the caller ID.
"Hey Kendall."
"Hey James. We were wondering if you were coming home for dinner anytime soon." Kendall asked.
James cursed under his breath.
"Sorry Kendall lost track of time and you guys go and have dinner. I think I'm gonna crash here tonight." James said.
"Oh. Ok then. Cya tomorrow." Kendall replied before hanging up.
James brought the phone down from his ear as he walked back into the dining room.
"Is it ok if I stay here tonight?" He questioned as he took his seat again.
"That's fine James. You'll have to sleep in the couch though." Mrs Sailing told him and James nodded.
"That'll be fine." He replied before finishing his pasta.
After James and Amber washed the dishes together, they walked into the lounge room where the couch was sitting. James experimentally lay down on it before cringing. It was hard and uncomfortable. He looked up the Amber who was doing the same as him on the other couch.
"You mind if I sleep with you?" He asked.
Amber shook her head.
"Not at all. God these are hard." She stood up and they went back into her room. Bidding Mr and Mrs Sailing a goodnight, they went to Amber's bedroom and got ready for bed.
Amber and James both got undressed, not caring if the other saw anything because they had already seen each other naked. With James in his boxers and Amber in her underwear and a tank top, they hopped into the double bed, feeling nothing but friendship towards each other. They fell asleep, both with anticipation about the next day.
LINEBREAK
Next morning the two woke up to a flash of light and laughter. James and Amber blinked before realizing the positions they were in. James was spooned up behind Amber with his arm thrown across her waist. They looked at each other and smirked. Then back at Mr and Mrs Sailing who had a camera in their hands and they were laughing.
James pulled his arm off of Amber, allowing her to roll on top of him and give him a light kiss on his lips.
"Morning babe." Amber whispered.
"Morning." James replied and smirked.
"I thought I told you to sleep on the couch James." Mrs Sailing stated at the two on the bed.
James shrugged.
"It was uncomfortable. And don't worry. Nothing happened between us. I love Kendall and not Amber." James reassured.
Amber huffed. "Now I feel out." James laughed and gave her a light kiss on her nose.
"Then what was that?" Mr Sailing asked.
"Oh, a couple kisses so to make everyone believe that we're a couple, we have to act like one. We're just getting the acting down pat." Amber replied.
Mr and Mrs Sailing rolled their eyes.
"Whatever. Breakfast is ready anyways." Mrs Sailing said and walked out the room. James and Amber looked at each other and at that moment, Mr Sailing took a picture than laughed and ran out the room.
James laughed as he watched him leave.
"I love your parents." He said.
"Same here." Amber replied.
LINEBREAK
"Ok. Remember the plan?" James asked as he and Amber were walking down the hallway to 2J.
"Yup. Make Kendall jealous at all cost by laughing at everything you say, holding your hand, making goo-goo eyes at you and kiss you a lot." Amber replied with a salute.
"That wasn't the plan." James frowned at her.
Amber chuckled, "I know. Calm down. We can do this." She grabbed onto James' hand and gave it a squeeze of reassurance.
James smiled at her before opening the door to his apartment.
"Hey guys." He said cheerfully as he saw them all at the table eating lunch. Everyone replied with a chorus of 'heys' and gave questioning glances at Amber.
"Amber, this is," He pointed to everyone, "Mrs Knight, Katie, Carlos, Logan and Kendall. Guys, this is Amber. My girlfriend."
At the word girlfriend everyone had different reactions. Mrs Knight, Katie and Logan all looked confused as to why Amber was never mentioned before. Carlos looked excited and Kendall looked, well, his face was expressionless but if you knew him you could see the pain in his eyes at the sight of them holding hands.
"Hey everyone." Amber greeted them cheerfully with a small wave. "It's nice to finally meet you. Jamie's told me so much about you."
Kendall's first though was 'I don't like her.' But not everyone shared his opinions. Everyone else stood up to shake her hand. Kendall being the last to do so.
As their hands met, they looked into each other's eyes and Amber knew immediately why James liked him. They quickly let go after that.
It was awkward silence for a few moments before Carlos broke it.
"Come here Amber, I'll show you Swirly." He sounded so excited that Amber had to grin and follow him to the lounge room. They all separated after that. Logan went with Amber and Carlos, Katie went to the pool or to annoy Bitters, Mrs Knight left to the gym so that left Kendall and James standing awkwardly around the table.
"She seems nice." Kendall said, albeit forcefully and James nodded, smiling.
"Yeah, just wait until you get to know her. She is so funny." James grinned as he saw a bit of jealously float into Kendall's green orbs.
"Can't wait." He muttered.
LINEBREAK
It was night time and all four members of Big Time Rush were thinking about one person; Amber.
Carlos found, that after only a few hours of talking to her, that she was so funny and nice. She and James seemed to be really close because they were almost always holding hands. It reminded Carlos of a certain new girl in the building. Emily. She had black hair and blue eyes and she and Carlos went off without a glitch. Carlos was starting to have feelings for her that he didn't really understand but he knew that they were good.
Logan, couldn't stop thinking about Amber. She was really pretty and had an amazing laugh. But the thing that stumped him was, how could she be so childish, but so mature at the same time? She was obviously very smart and had a good sense of humour. She was like Kendall, Carlos, Logan and James all wrapped into one person. She was perfect. Logan stopped his though process there. She wasn't perfect. They had only just met. Anyways, she was going out with James.
James couldn't believe how well his plan was working out. Everyone was believing that they were together and they all seemed to like Amber, except of course, Kendall. Something for which he had hoped for. The plan was in motion and it was going full steam ahead.
Kendall didn't like Amber one bit. The whole way she acted as though if she wasn't touching a part of James' body she would die. It came off as really needy. Kendall didn't know why James was going out with her. He was so much better going out with him. He stopped there. James would never like him. Never. He can't get his hopes up.
AN: Hope you liked it. Do you like Amber? My first OC :) Please review
