Oh hey guys! So I had this idea on my mind for quite a while now, and I really wanted to post it. Originally I wasn't going to post it until I was halfway done with A Thousand Years but I couldn't help myself. So this story is an m-preg, because I just adore m-preg stories. Um…I really don't know what else to say. I'm not so hot about this first chapter however. Well. Just read and ENJOY! : )
Chapter One
The ticking of the clock, counting down its final minute. The cheering of fans, the screams and yells. Chills crawled down his spine as he took in a deep breath. Behind the protective gear, green eyes flickered around the noisy rink. He licked his dry, thin lips, smirking at the opposing team as they got into their positions. Green eyes snapped over to his teammate. The two shared a silent communication: I pass, cut. You pass back. Shoot. Score. Such an easy task. He darted his eyes back to the opposing player. Three, two, one! Whistle!
"And we're off to the final minute of fourth quarter." The announcer shouts, the cheering crowd going wild with their roars. "The Wilds and Kings are tied right now. There is a possible chance we might have to go into overtime."
"I don't know about that Jeff." Another announcer spoke. Jeff snapped his olive colored eyes over to his companion, smiling wickedly at the other male. "Knight seems to be setting up some strategy to make this two point shot."
"Knight always takes lead. Maybe this trick won't fail this time, Richard." Jeff said, chuckling at the crowd as they started to boo him.
"That was a low call, Jeff." Richard said, trying to keep his voice sturdy. If it hasn't been clear already, Richard is for the Minnesota Wilds, while Jeff is for the L.A. Kings.
"Haha." Jeff said, eyes going towards the clock. "Only forty seconds left one the clock, and – Oh! It seems number five, Carl Jackson, from the L.A. Kings have stolen the puck. He's sprinting down the rink, he's determined for this shot!"
"I don't know if he'll make it, Knight is hot on his tail."
Kendall growled as his strategy plan didn't work. The once bright bottled green eyes began to slowly turn dark. The blonde male turned on his skates, he began to dart after Jackson. There was no way in hell Kendall was about to let the Kings win the champion ships. The Wilds had a title to uphold.
Kendall saw Jackson's move before Jackson could even think them. The blonde hockey head skated up behind him and in one swift movement, he stole the puck back. The crowd went wild, cheering 'Let's go Kendall!' The blonde looked up at the clock; 10 seconds left. He skated faster.
9, 8, 7.
Out of the corner of his eye, Kendall could see the opposing players coming at him.
6, 5, 4.
Kendall got a little distance away from the goal and with a hard swing, he hit the puck. After that, everything froze. The crowd held their breath, the announcers going quiet. Kendall widen his eyes as the goalie lunged out for the puck.
3, 2, 1! Buzz!
"The Wilds win! The Wilds win!" Richard shouted into the mic, the cheering of the crowd blasting everyone's ears.
Kendall smiled wide, he took off his helmet, lifted in the air and began to shout. His teammates came around him, circling him before lifting the blonde up. Flashes crowded the arena as news reporters, paparazzi, magazines, and many more tried getting the Minnesota Wild's attention.
…
Up in the stands, the very top row sat a tall, tan skinned brunette. He had on a light sweater and black skinny jeans. His normally styled hair was tucked under a purple and black beanie. He had his arms crossed over his chest, a childish pout on his face. His long eyelashes swept away the oncoming dust, as his hazel eyes darted back and forth between the moving players on the ice. If it were up to him he would not be sitting in this cold arena watching a sport he wasn't even interested in.
The pretty male sighed out dramatically. He snapped his hazel eyes on over to his manager, who was sitting beside him. The older woman was dressed in similar clothes to him. She had on a red scarf, a white sweat shirt and a pair of simple jeans. Her hairs was up in a ponytail and she had on her glasses. He thought it was weird to see her dressed in simple clothes when on a normal day she would be clad in dress attire.
"Ugh Lucy! Why are we here?" The brunette finally snapped. He had decided to hold in his anger, thinking his manager just wanted to do something nice for him. However, the half Asian girl has been wearing a wide, up to no good, grin ever since they have walked in.
Lucy sighed, her smile never fading away though. "Look at number 12, James." She said, pointing to the player in a yellow and brownish-reddish jersey. The word 'KNIGHT' was written across his built shoulder blades.
James rolled his eyes, "I've been watching him this entire game. Now you wanna tell me why we're really here? Because I know you didn't just take me out here to have a good time. You're up to something and I'm not liking it."
James' rant was paid no mind as Lucy shut him up, waving a hand in the brunette's face. James huffed out as the arena went quiet. The buzzing of the clock bringing everyone back to reality. James covered his ears as the crowd uplifted in a loud roar once again. Everybody was shouting about the Wilds winning and what not.
"Now's our chance." James heard Lucy mumble. He didn't have time to question the woman, for she grabbed his hand, nearly yanking him down the stadium. "Put your hood on and keep your head down." She whispered and James did as told, deciding to question her later.
The two quickly made their way down the steps, trying their hardest to ignore the screaming fans. A few times James got recognized but Lucy quickly dismissed the autograph craving fans. It was nearly three minutes later when the two finally reached the rink. Lucy grabbed onto James' arm tight, standing on her tip-toes, trying to look over the massive crowd for a certain blonde.
"Who are you looking for?" James questioned, smiling at a L.A. King player as they passed by. Lucy ignored him though, eyes lighting up as she found her target. She once more dragged James over to their destination.
When they were a couple of feet away, when Lucy could hear the blonde's voice clearly in her ears, she stopped James. "Give me your phone." She ordered.
James furrowed his eyebrows together in confusion. "Why?"
"Just give me it." Lucy reached into James' back pocket and pulled out his I-phone. The pretty male was about to protest when Lucy started pushing him in front of her. "You can take off your hood now."
Kendall was talking to a reporter, laughing and smiling as he answered their questions. He, once again, had won the championships. The blonde locked eyes with the short red-head. She was looking down at a piece of paper, reading off her next question. The blonde's entire attention was focused on her, until a brunette was being shoved in his direction. He was about to say something rude, when his breath caught in his throat. The brunette was absolutely beautiful. He had long eyelashes that swept away at his eyes. He had a natural tan skin completion. His high cheekbones held a rosy color. His plump lips were frown up, be Kendall was sure if he smiled it would be so bright, the sun would have nothing on it. Kendall then let his eyes travel down the male's body. He had a nice frame, not too big and not too small. His body was lean, and slim, almost like a model's body. His hips were nicely curved, for a man anyway, and Kendall was sure if he turned around, the blonde would be looking at a nice ass. Kendall could have sworn he had seen this beauty before. The blonde was brought out of his thoughts when the reporter gave a high-pitched squeal.
"Oh, my god! You're James Diamond!" She squealed, cheeks going red from embarrassment. The brunette beauty smiled a dashing smile at her that made Kendall go weak in the knees.
That's where Kendall had seen him before. James Diamond was one of the most well-known faces in the world. His pictures were in almost every fashion magazine or model magazine you came across. He was a very successful model and did well in his category.
Kendall let his eyes rank over James' face, the two locking eyes for a minute. James looked away a few seconds later, blushing. Kendall smirked at that. The blonde opened his mouth, getting ready to use a pick up line on the tan male when a girl wrapped her arm around James' arms. The blonde lost his smirk as he let his eyes flicker between the two. He barely had time to processes what happened next.
"Hello, Kendall Knight. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. I'm Lucy Stone, James Diamond's manager. We came out to see you play tonight and you did one hell of a job." Lucy said, eagerness written all in her voice.
Kendall chuckled at the older girl. "Thank you for the support." He said smoothly.
James snapped his head over at the blonde. He felt butterflies running around wildly in his stomach at hearing his smooth voice. James tuned out the rest of Kendall and Lucy's conversation as he let his eyes rank over the blonde athlete. There was no denying Kendall was attractive. His sweaty, blonde hair that was all over the place, due to his previous activity. The way his voice came out so smoothly. Plus his body. James could tell that underneath that jersey and pads, the blonde had a nice body built. And his bottom lip. James began to image himself sucking and biting and-
"James!" Lucy barked, bring the brunette out of his fantasy.
"What?" He asked confused and somewhat annoyed. Lucy rolled her eyes at the boy's attitude.
"You're about to take a picture with Kendall, so get ready." She said and James rolled his eyes.
The pretty boy looked over to his side, Kendall was staring at him intensively. James smiled shyly before looking back over at Lucy. Kendall only smirked, taking his natural dominant instincts, he wrapped an arm around James' waist, pulling the brunette close to his side. James blushed at this but threw an arm around Kendall's shoulder. He had to control himself to not drool as he felt how big the blonde's muscles were. He took a deep breath, he smiled.
Lucy held up James' phone, smiling widely as paparazzi began to snap pictures of the two.
"Smile big boys."
James whistled a tune as he stepped out of his Camaro SS. He shut the door, twirled the keys around his index finger, and locked the car. He took off his sunglasses, squinting lightly as he looked up at the huge building of Roque Records. The brunette beauty rolled his eyes at why he remembered he was here. Lucy had called, basically blowing up his phone that he needed to come to here for a meeting. James knew this meeting was about to be a waste of time, especially if Lucy wouldn't tell him what the meeting is about.
James was brought out of his thoughts as he saw Lucy walking up to him from the entrance. She was dressed back into her casual work wear, a black pencil skirt and a purple blouse. James began to walk to Lucy, meeting the half Asian halfway.
"You're late." The girl stated simply, hands placed on her hips.
James rolled his eyes again, placing his sunglasses in his back pocket. "Yeah, well you know. I don't care."
Lucy rolled her eyes, grabbing James by his arm and pulling him into the building.
"Come on," She said. "We have a busy day today."
James and Lucy made their way to the elevators. The two stepped in, Lucy pressing the button for the third floor. James looked over at the shorter girl, her wearing a devilish smile. James cocked up an eyebrow, getting ready to ask her what she was smiling about, when the elevator rung, the doors sliding open. James didn't have time to process anything after that, for Lucy began to push him in the direction of two big doors at the end of the hallway.
"Lucy would you please stop pushing me!" James nearly hollered.
Lucy stopped in her tracks, letting out a breath of air. "Sorry, sorry." She said, a big smile pasted on her pale cheeks. She could barely contain her excitement.
James huffed in annoyance, crossing his arms as he continued to follow Lucy. What seemed like forever, the two finally reached the doors. James waited impatiently for Lucy to open the doors, but as a few seconds passed by with the short girl just staring at the door smiling, James decided to take matters in his own hands. With an annoyed sigh, James pushed open the doors.
"Okay, can we make this quick because I have…" He trailed off when he saw two males in the room. One was a short brunette with chocolate brown hair that swooped up with much needed gel. He clad in a simple gray suit, a black tie topping the outfit. His dress shoes were neatly cleaned, shining brightly in the light up room. He was currently watching something on a flat screen TV, but paused it when James burst into the room.
The other male was Kendall, actually. The blonde hockey head was sitting in a chair at the end of a long table. He was wearing a nice pair of sweatpants, a dark blue and grey striped sip-up jacket and a grey snapback. The blonde had his feet rested on up on the wooden table, headphones rested in his ears as he scrolled through his I-Phone. He didn't even acknowledged James' appearance.
Lucy appeared beside James seconds later. Her and the shorter male sharing a wide smile. James watched as the other brunette male slapped Kendall behind his head, the blonde taking out his headphones to give him an annoyed look. Lucy ushered James into the conference room, making sure to close the door behind her, she told James to have a seat. The pretty boy taking the only other chair in the room, which was right beside Kendall's.
"Ok, what the hell is the point of this." Kendall finally said when there was an awkward silence.
The short, raven-haired male cleared his throat before speaking. "Well, Kendall. Lucy and I have decided some things that will help the both of your guys' careers."
"Why are we discussing my business plans with them?" James asked rudely, giving Kendall a side glance before turning his glare towards his manager. James heard Kendall chuckle.
"Oh baby, we both know you want me around." Kendall said cockily, giving James a flirtatious smile that the pretty boy just scoffed at.
"James, don't be rude and let Logan finish." Lucy said sternly, James rolling his eyes and Logan blushing slightly as James turned his heated glare onto him.
"A-As I was s-saying." He stuttered, clearing his throat again. "Kendall, James. You both are very successful at such a young age. Lucy and I know that you both are going to continue to work hard so you can become the top. You both are where you need to be at right now, you got the fame, the fans, the money, everything. Although there is just one thing missing…" Logan trailed off, taking in Kendall and James' appearances; Kendall looked bored as ever and James looked slightly amused.
"And that would be passion." Lucy finished, that devious smile back onto her face. Her and Logan glanced at each other, smiling. James cocked up a perfectly groomed eyebrow.
"What do you mean passion?" He asked, slightly interested in the two managers.
"As in romance." Lucy said, eyes going back in forth between Kendall and James.
James made a 'pft' noise, leaning back into his seat. He should have saw this coming. Lucy was always trying to set James up with someone, saying the brunette needed to live that romance life.
"Just think of it. Hottest couple of Hollywood, James Diamond; the best of the best model out right now, and Kendall Knight; the charming hockey playing captain." Lucy said, using her hands for inference as she drifted off into fancy world.
At the sound of this, Kendall snapped his head over at the two managers who were currently staring at them with creepy smiles. The blonde then glanced over at James, the brunette staring ahead with the same expression he had just moments before. Then, Kendall let a small smirk form on his face. It wasn't such a bad idea, besides he wasn't looking for anyone to actually date, maybe just fool around with and Kendall couldn't deny that he wanted to get James into his bed and have his way with the model.
James continued to stare at the two short people in front of him before he let out a small chuckle. "Let me get this straight," He started, all eyes on him now. "You want me and Knight to 'date' just to boost up our popularity?" When Lucy and Logan confirmed his statement, James burst out into a fit of laughter. Three pairs of eyes only stared at him in confusion. James wiped away a fake tear, clutching onto his stomach. "That has to be the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard."
"James." Lucy said, but was cut off.
"No Lucy. I don't need to date some meat head just to make it to the top. I can do all that on my own. Plus, I don't need to be in a relationship right now, I need to focus on my career and dating him will only distract me."
"Of course we can skip the dating part and just jump right on into bed." Kendall suddenly blurted out, smirking proudly at James' faint blush.
"Ew! As if, you can keep on dreaming meat head!" James said, crossing his arms as he glared at Kendall. The blonde only held up his hands in defense.
Lucy and Logan sighed, they really didn't have a back-up plan it this were to happen.
"James, please. This could really help out your image." Lucy tried, biting her bottom lip as James' expression didn't change.
"I'm sorry Lucy, but this was just a stupid plan. There is no way in hell am I dating that arrogant asshole."
"Ouch, that really hurt babe." Kendall continued to tease James, the tan-skinned male taking in a deep breath to control his temper.
Logan rolled his eyes at Kendall's behavior, he knew the blonde was only acting like this because he was attracted to James. He always did this when he wanted to get into bed with someone.
Kendall let out a laugh as James flipped him off. "Logan, as 'great' of an idea this is, I'm kind of too busy to be dating. I got hockey and-"
"You're on off season Kendall. And plus, you two don't really have a choice, we…" Logan bit his lip, trailing off. Kendall and James both narrowed their eyes as they leaned in closer to their managers.
"Take a look for yourselves." Lucy mumbled, and Logan pressed play on the TV.
"James Diamond and Kendall Knight a couple?" A TV announcer said, the channel on E! News. "Last night at the hockey game championship, James Diamond had twitted a picture of him and Kendall Knight. The tweet read:
'Just watched this handsome play his heart out tonight. Good job, babe! '
James stared in shock as the reporter posted up the tweet and the picture he took with Kendall. He heard the blonde chuckle slightly beside him. James didn't even bother to deal with Kendall, for he was still too shock to do anything.
"We are still waiting for Kendall's reply." The reporter continued. "Who knows, maybe Diamond is just crushing. Or are the two really in a relationship? Leave us your thoughts on out twitter facebook page and we'll get back to you next week."
The video stopped and the whole room was silent, that is until James let out a frustrated scream.
"Lucy, what the hell did you do?" He shouted, making everyone jump in their spots. Lucy opened her mouth to speak, but James continued with his rant. "Great, now the whole fucking world thinks we're together."
"That's not a bad thing, James." Logan said, James snapping his head over in his direction.
Lucy sighed. "Look guys, we know you both aren't so happy about this, but we really think this is a good idea. You guys don't have to act like a couple when the cameras aren't around, but please, just try to do this. Just give it a month and if nothing good comes from it, we'll call it off."
James and Kendall watched as Lucy and Logan gave them pleading looks. It was silent for a good three minutes until Kendall suddenly stood up. Everyone watched as the blonde walked over in front of James. He gripped James by the wristed and hauled the pretty boy up. James furrowed his eyes in confusion as Kendall smirked at him.
"Guess this means I'll have you in my bed in no time." Kendall whispered huskily.
James felt his cheeks heat up, he gasped lightly when Kendall began to kiss his neck. The pretty boy shoved Kendall back, wiping at his neck. James glared at Kendall before turning on his heels, stomping out of the conference room.
"I like that ass!" Kendall shouted after him, laughing as James flipped him off for a second time that day.
Welp, there was that. Again, I really don't like this first chapter, but I had to post it to get the story going. Umm…I really hoped you all enjoyed and please review!
