The idea came to me listening to Maroon 5 :)
The song is "She will be loved" by Maroon 5
Enjoy loves(:
Beauty queen of only eighteen...
"Katie?"She stopped in her tracks. The voice was all too familiar, and a smile crept across her face. She whipped around and faced him. He looked exactly the same as the last time she saw him, even though he was twenty-two. He still had his hair in it's straight, lively fashion (or he might call the FBI again :P). His smile still dazzling, his arms and stomach still equally as muscular. He had a little stubble and he was much taller. He still looked like old James. She looked in his eyes.
His eyes changed.
"Oh my god, James!" she squealed, running as fast as she could in her high heels. She looked completely different, of course, considering she was now eighteen (not thirteen). Her legs were long and sexy in the black skinny jeans she was wearing. Her chest had exploded like ten times bigger (what was she, like a D now?). She was still skinny, but she had hips. Her chestnut hair draped her shoulders and she still had that signature Katie bang. She still had her cute little Katie smile. In some ways she looked like the old Katie Knight. He chuckled mentally thinking about how protective Kendall would have been. He looked into her eyes.
Her eyes changed.
"Wow. I haven't seen you in like five years! It's been... so long!" he said, still eying her. She smiled widely.
"I know, wow! I can't believe I bumped into you! I thought all of you went back to Minnesota?" she asked. He shrugged.
"Yeah, we did, I moved back here. I don't know about Carlos and Logan though, ha." he said. She nodded.
"I see you stayed in L.A.!" he said awkwardly. Her eyes showed a flicker of sadness. He bit his bottom lip, embarrassed.
She had some troubles with herself
He was always there to help her
"Haha, yeah! Hey, I was going to get some lunch. You... wanna like, come?" she asked. He blinked."Oh. Yeah! Course. Haha." he said, walking with her. They made small talk for about five minutes before reaching the restaurant.
"Oh, I remember this place." James exclaimed, smiling once again. Katie nodded.
"Yeah, I always come here." she mentioned. James politely opened the door for her and she walked in. The maitre d showed them to a table and they sat.
"So, how's life going?" he said, lightly punching her shoulder. She winced, but didn't let him see. He didn't know she had a bruise there.
"Pretty good, you know? How about you?" she lied, smiling painfully. He nodded.
"Same. Not really doing anything. I work at this firm. As a secretary." he laughed. She smiled for real this time.
"Funny, my husband's a lawyer." she said. James raised his eyebrow. Katie has a husband? Isn't she like, just finishing high school? He relaxed. He really shouldn't be surprised. He was just worried. After the incident and when I was forced to leave, she fell apart (just like everyone else). He decided not to pry.
She always belonged to someone else...
The waiter came over. She said usual. James ordered something random off the menu since he could decide or focus."You come here a lot?" he asked, smirking.
"Yeah, I have to pick up Kelly at one-ish, so I usually come here before I do." she said, sipping her water. Should she have said that?
"Kelly? Like, Kelly Kelly?" he asked. She shook her head.
"No, my kid Kelly. She's two." she said cautiously. James almost chocked on a piece of ice he was eating.
"Yeah." she said, pushing back her hair behind her ear and suddenly getting interested in the utensils.
Ok, two? Which would have to mean she had a kid at sixteen. Suddenly he felt bad for leaving. He should have stayed, some way or another. He could only think about how Kendall would have exploded right about now. He could only think about how he wanted to explode right about now. He shook his head. It's been five years. He's over her. He's just worried, like a good friend should be. He's not still in love. Right?
... Right?
I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
They avoided the subject and continued talking about other things. Random things. After a while, they were talking so animatedly and laughing so loudly the people in the restaurant stared at them throughout their conversation. It was just like the old days. They walked out of the restaurant, arm-in-arm, talking loudly and shoving each other. Why can't things be like that anymore. Would it still be? She checked her watch and her cheerful demeanor crumbled."Shit shit shit I'm late. I'm like freaking twenty minutes late. They called Tyler... ah!" she said, suddenly looking like she was in a life or death situation. He raised his eyebrow.
"It's ok, Katie." he said, still confused. She was like, vibrating.
"Uh...no. Not really. Look, I have to go. I have your number right? Call me. Like now." she said. I did and her phone rang. She nodded, hugged me one last time and scurried off in the opposite direction.
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more.
