Iris's P.O.V
"Miss. Foxheart, the group Big Time Rush is here for their photo shoot." My assistant announced at my door way.
"Let them come in." I ordered fixing my jeans and t-shirt. With my hair pulled in a high ponytail and my favorite tennis shoes on I felt invincible. These boys were just another boy band who were trying to find there way to the top. First to enter was a tall brown headed boy with a bandana. He shook my hand and winked at me. I rolled my eyes as a sandy haired boy and the black headed boy did the same. Last, but the most stunning to enter, was a dark brown headed boy with the deepest brown eyes I've ever seen. What am I doing? There here for business not to ask me out.
"Hello, my name is Iris Foxheart and I'm going to be your photographer today. I'll needed to know your names." I announced as we walked into my studio. Bandanna boy answered first.
"I'm Kendall and this is James and Carlos" He pointed to the other two boys.
"My name is Logan" The charmer called afterwards. I rolled in around in my mind. Logan? I like it!
"Now do you guys want to do singles or group? Or both?" I asked. The looked back and forth between each other. Logan answered first.
"Both, can we do the group pictures first?" He asked.
"Sure!" I answered lining them up. After a couple of shoots the boys dispersed.
"Alright who's going to be first?" I asked. They didn't answer.
"Alright I'm think of a number between 1 and 10. Who ever is closest gets to go first while the others can go get a drink." I announced.
"1" Kendall said.
"9" Carlos followed.
"7" James tried.
"5" Logan finished.
"Logan won now out while we get his done. Then it will be James, followed by Carlos, and then Kendall." I announced ushering them out the door.
"Where do you want me to stand?" He questioned.
"Let me show you" I ended up grabbing his hand and moving him into place. Neither one of us let go for a moment.
"Stand right there…." I ordered sheepishly. What was about him that got to me?
"Okay, Iris" He answered. My heart skipped a beat when he said my name. I took a couple of pictures.
"Let me warn you, Carlos is crazy. Kendall is the girl addict and James is quiet." He commented making me laugh.
"And let me guess you're the smarts of the group?" I asked raising one eyebrow. He gave me a quick smile.
"Yup! At least I have a lot more common sense." He answered.
"There going to be up here any minute at the door. Do you want to take a few more pictures or wait?" I asked.
"Can I have a pen and paper?" He questioned. I pulled one out of my desk and gave it to him. He scribbled something down and handed it back to me.
"If you ever want someone to hang out with call me. I'd really like to get o know you, and I'm sure you'd like to hang out with our crazy gang some more." He winked as footsteps grew ever closer.
"I would love to. In fact I'm off in an hour. I was going to head over to the pool for a while maybe we can meet up there?" I asked. He nodded. I let the next boy in and continued the shoot.
Logan's P.O.V
I almost was upset as we finished the photo shoot and was leaving to go home, but yet happy knowing that with in the next hour or so, I would see her again. Kendall wouldn't shut up about her either or Carlos.
"I'm going to ask her out first…" Kendall announced, Carlos piped up.
"Oh no your not! I am"
"Guys neither on of you can, I already did…." I announced. The both sat in aw.
"What? When?" They both said.
"After she finished up my photo shoot." I announced very proud of my self for beating those two at there own game.
"Great consider her out…. Nice going Smarts" Kendall commented.
"A. She even said yes, B. She's going to be at the pool in an hour looking for me!" I commented. They both looked in surprise.
"We can win her over!" Carlos commented. James just watched on the couch.
"We must!" Kendall added. My phone went off and I picked it up. It was a text from Iris.
On my way to the pool where are you?
Coming! I got to change and escape from the boys. Be there soon!
Okay, see yeah soon.
I ran into my room and changed into my swimming trunks only to be met by the other three boys.
"And where do you think your going?" Carlos asked.
"The pool to meet Iris!" I announced running down the hall in my sandals and out to the pool. There she stood in a black and blue swim suit looking around. I decided to surprise her.
Iris's P.O.V
I was walking down to the pool from my upstairs apartment while my towel over my shoulder and my sunglass on my head. I looked around for Logan, who was no where in sight. The only reason I was down here was because of him. I was head over heels for him. Why wouldn't I be? I started humming the tune to Any Kind of Guy, when two arms snaked around my waist and pulled me into the shadows.
"Found you!" Some whispered behind me. I turned around to see Logan smiling.
"Aloha! You definitely gave me a fright." I commented as he let me go. I walked back over to the lawn chairs and sat down. Pulling my sun glasses down over my eyes. I could tell by how noise it got that the boys were here. I was softly singing to one of my favorite songs. He sat at the waters edge as the rest of the team came walking out. Or should I say running? I scooted down next to Logan and put my feet in the water. Laying my head on his shoulder, he obviously didn't mind and found it funny what kind of faces the boys made when they saw us.
"The water is pretty isn't it, Iris?" Kendall asked as he came up from his cannonball.
"Sure is!" I commented.
"You know what else is pretty?" Carlos piped up.
"What else?" I asked.
"You!" Kendall finished. I splashed some water at him.
"Enough with the pick up lines boys, I'm already taken." I announced. Even Logan was appalled by my words.
"Logan" I finished. He smiled and puffed out his chest in pride.
"How could he win you over? All he does is read and research! Have you ever heard him sing?" Carlos questioned.
"Yes, I've heard all you sing. But why does it matter if I heard him sing? None of you have heard me sing." I wanted to take back those last words. I knew the answer to the up coming comment.
"Sing then!" So I sang Fallin' for you by Colbie Caillat.
I don't know boy
I think I maybe falling for you
Dropping so quickly
Maybe I should keep this to myself
Wait until I know you better
I am trying not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of holding this
Inside my head
I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about you
I don't know what to do
I think I'm falling for you
I've been waiting all my life
And now I find you
I don't know what to do
I think I'm falling for you
Falling for you
I finally finished, well at least half the song. I had chose the song because currently that's how I felt. A heavy set guy came running out with his hand cupped behind his ear.
"What was that oh so beautiful sound?" He asked. All the boys pointed to me.
"You… you have the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. What is your name?" He asked pushing Logan out of the way.
"Iris Foxheart….." I answered.
"You needed to sing for me. Could you sing with these boys in the studio?" He asked.
"Sure why not? Can I write the song?" I answered. He paused for a moment.
"Sure just make it a duo. You can make any of the boys help you, as long as you get it done by Friday!" He ordered.
"Can Logan help me?" I asked winking.
"Sure! Let Mr. Smarts help you. I don't care!" He commented.
"We better get started then!" Logan commented. I hopped up out of the pool and grabbed my towel. I was already starting to plan out the lyrics. He followed me up to my spacey apartment as I grabbed a notebook, my guitar and a pop.
"Do you want something to drink?" I asked Logan who was comfortably sitting on the balcony with Rocko, my tabby, and Denver, my main coon.
"Do you have coke?" He asked.
"Yup, hold on" I grabbed one more coke and headed out to balcony. I gave it to him and sat in the chair next to him.
"Do you have any ideas?" He asked.
"Yeah but I need to unscramble it. Why don't you work on a tune for the song?" I offered. He pick up the guitar and started to play. I wrote down these lyrics.
Me:
I'm sitting near the edge
Waiting to fall
But you pull me back
Into your enclosed arms
Logan:
I'm not the loving type
But your teaching me
Step by step
Heart by heart
I'm learning
Both:
The whole world rest on my shoulders
But baby you show me
How to let go
Let go of my fear
And just be me
Me:
I've lead a life of fear
But you showed me the brighter side
Where I can breath and not die
Where I can live and love
Both:
The whole world rest on my shoulders
But baby you show me
How to let go
Let go of my fear
And just be me
Mornings are hard
Night scare me
But with you at my side
I can breath
And just be me
Logan:
Oh I know it hard to love me
But you take it in strides
Letting the world slip on by
And letting me shine through
Both:
The whole world rest on my shoulders
But baby you show me
How to let go
Let go of my fear
And just be me
Mornings are hard
Night scare me
But with you at my side
I can breath
And just be me
The whole world rest on my shoulders
But baby you show me
How to let go
Let go of my fear
And just be me
Mornings are hard
Night scare me
But with you at my side
I can just be me and breath
I finally finished singing it softly to myself. But obviously loud enough for him to play along with me. We both smiled as the song finished, he smiled.
"It's beautiful….." He commented.
"Now, only if your manger would let us sing it together without the boys…..It would be perfect" I commented. He shrugged and hummed the tune.
"He's going to love it. He's going to WANT us to sing it together. If we show him how we did it first." He commented.
"Let's take it down to him…." I offered standing up.
"It needs a title." He added.
"Just Be Me." I finished, he smiled.
"It needs something else…." He abruptly said.
"What?" I asked sitting next to him.
"Who's it about?" Logan asked.
"It's going to sound really weird, but I thought of you and me" I finished. He placed one hand under my chin pulling my head closer to his.
"Than its about us." He whispered kissing me. I kissed him back.
"Does that mean were together than?" I asked.
"I don't know does it?" He questioned.
"I guess" I stuttered.
"Than yes, as of right now were together." He answered walking off towards the studios. I ran after him with my guitar across my back. I caught up to him and we held hands the whole way.
Gustavo's office.
"Its…. Amazing who wrote this?" He asked.
"Iris did!" Logan announced.
"We would like to know if just me and him could sing it….. Together…." I stuttered. The Gustavo smiled.
"Sure why not? I'll go set up the studio. Do you mind if the boys watch?" He asked.
"Not at all" I answered.
"Excellent this way. Follow me." He ordered.
Logan grabbed my hand as we followed him down the hallway. He opened the studio door for us. Once inside I placed the lyrics in front of both of us. Turns out the guitar was going to come in later. So it would just be me and him. I seen the boys line up along the wall. James and Carlos giving Logan glares. So I gave some back, just to be mean. It ticked them even more off when they saw us holding hands. Kendall just laughed the whole time. He didn't seem as crazy as the others did. The manger counted down as he started to record. I started out first. My voice died down as Logan started his part. Giving me small smile and wink. I was surprised how amazing we sounded together on the chorus. Everyone else's mouth dropped as we sang together. When we finally finished the song. Everyone's mouths couldn't have dropped any farther. Gustavo ran in squeezed hugged the both of us and ran the song out to someone else. The other boys walked in, patting Logan on the back.
"We have to give it to you Logan. Scoring the best looking chick who can sing and write, just be glad we've let you have her this time." James warned and congratulated.
"Thanks, who's ready to celebrate the next big hit with some pizza?" Carlos asked. We all cheered and ran out of the studio. We all followed Carlos to his house and ordered pizza. I sat on the couch next to Logan as we waited the arrival of the pizza delivery guy. James kept looking over at us. Logan was telling me about his past while Carlos and Kendall watched some TV.
"What's wrong James?" I asked.
"I can't get my head around the fact that your going out. You'll have to prove it to me." He announced making the other two boys turn around.
"What do you want us to do?" Logan asked.
"Kiss" Carlos finished. Logan shrugged we meet at the same moment and kissed in front of the rest of the boys.
"Happy?" I asked.
"Yes very!" Ding Dong.Carlos ran to the door and picked up the pizza while Kendall paid. I turned the radio on and listen to what ever station was playing.
"Now from the newest group Big Time Rushhere is their hit single with Iris Foxheart and Logan Mitchell called Just Be Me"
Gustavo must have got the local station to play our song already. I sat and for the 3rd time listen to our song. I paid more attention to his voice than my own. I was already getting sleepy listening to his voice. I curled up on the couch pulling out my ipod and listening to some of their other songs. I could feel a blanket lay over me. I looked up to see Logan give me a wink and continue to play a video game with the boys. I flipped over and laid my head in his lap and watched them play. Carlos turned around and paused the game.
"Is little Iris getting tired on little Logan's lap?" He teased.
"Leave her alone Carlos, she probably tired from work. Let her sleep." Kendall ordered.
"Does that mean where having a sleep over?" James asked.
"What do you think Iris?" Logan asked pushing a strand of hair away from my face.
"Sure why not? I need to go get some clothes and crap from my house. It only a small walk from here." I answered.
"Why don't you take lover boy with you?" James added.
Logan shrugged as I sat up and put my shoes on. I waited for him to get his shoes on before we walked out the door. We walked straight into rain, great. Logan grabbed an umbrella from inside the house and opened it up. I should've know he was going to pick the smallest one. So I had to walk really close to him under our small umbrella, that could barely fit one person let alone two.
"Were are we going?" Logan asked. I grabbed his hand and lead the way to my house, again. Once I was inside and he closed the umbrella and shut the door. I was already packing some clothes, and feeding my cats. He stood at the door way patiently waiting.
"Grab a jacket babe" He called. My heart skipped a beat as he said that. I grabbed my Denver Broncos hoodie and ran out to him with my backpack. He smiled and took it from me and opened up the umbrella.
"Ready?" He asked. I nodded my head as we walked back to Carlos' house. They were still playing the video game when we arrived.
"Did I forget to tell you were suppose to get thunder storms tonight?" James mentioned.
"No, it may have been nice if you warned us." I hissed.
"Oh well here have some pizza with lover boy." Carlos added handing me a pizza box. I ran into the bathroom and changed into my pjs and walked back out. I had by black comfortable pjs bottoms on with the Batman logo all over them. With my Broncos shirt on. I flopped on the couch and leaned up against Logan.
After I finished my 2nd piece of pizza I laid back down and listen to my ipod on Logan's lap. Every now and then he would lean down and kiss my cheek and continue playing the video game. I was completely relaxed until the whole house hook from thunder. I held onto Logan for dear life.
"What's wrong babe?" Logan asked pausing the game.
"I hate thunder" I mumbled in his chest.
"Hey look at it this way Iris the power didn't go off!" Carlos commented. Just as I was about to yell at him not to jinx it, all the lights shut off along with electronics.
"Nice going Carlos" Kendall commented.
"I'll get some flashlights. Logan you stay there with Iris. Kendall can you got get some blankets and pillows from the closet. And James come with me." Carlos ordered. Logan even sighed relief when he was told to stay with me. I could hear someone fumbling around in the dark and then a light came across my face.
"Knock it off James" I yelled. The light immediately went away from my face and towards the floor. They laid down blankets on the floor. Carlos took the huge recliner. James the couch, and Kendall on the other couch. Which left me and Logan to the floor.
"You know the lady should get to pick where she sleeps." Kendall commented.
"I'm fine down here, thank you though Kendall." I answered.
"You only like it down there cause you can curl up to lover boy and hide from the big bad thunder." I heard James add from the couch.
"James let it go…." I heard Logan hiss. I scooted closer to him as more thunder shook the little apartment.
"You alright Iris?" Logan whispered. I nodded and tried to fall asleep. By the amount of snoring I was guessing Carlos was already out along with James.
"I hate thunder….." I mumbled.
"I know, just try to go to sleep. I'll feel better if you do" Logan pleaded. I felt my eyelids go heavy as the steady patter of rain helped put me to sleep in Logan's arms.
The Next Morning
I woke up to the ringing of Logan's cell phone. It was Gustavo so I answered it.
"Hello? This is Iris speaking." I answered trying to sound awake.
"Iris? Well I need you and the boys to get down here pronto I got a new song that I need you to sing with them. Be down here by noon. Bye" He finished. I looked at the current time. It was 10:30 and I started to wake each of the boys up. Logan was the easiest, all I had to was give him a kiss and he was up. He helped me wake up the other boys as I explained what was going on. They all nodded and got dressed while I changed in the bathroom. Once we were already we headed down to the studio. Gustavo was waiting by the door.
"Hurry we need to record this." He ushered us into the studio handing each of us a piece of the song. It was Two is Better than Oneby Boys like Girls. It was all color coded. I was to sing the green lines, Logan in the blue, and everyone in the red. We waited for the signal to start from Gustavo. 3..2...1
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my laugh and I thought
Hey this could be something
Cause everything you do and words you say
You know it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing
So maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking
Two is better than one
I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes,
They way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believing
That maybe it's true
That I can't live with out you
And maybe two is better than one.
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking
Two is better than one
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my laugh and I thought hey,
Maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking, ooh
I can't live without you
Cause baby, two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
But I figured out with all that's said and done
Two is better than one
Two is better than one
We finally finished the song and looked at Gustavo for approval. His mouth was completely dropped. Even Kelly's, his assistance, mouth was dropped I was amazed. He replayed the song for us, my gosh it was amazing. We all blended in so perfectly, even my voice slide in with theirs.
"You need to sing for me. I'm going to make you a huge star. You must come on tour with us!" Gustavo offered.
"Thank you, I'm flattered. But I'm not that good." I announced. Even Logan gave me a weird glance. Kelly piped up first.
"Sweet heart, I've seen a lot of girls come in and out of this studio and you still beat them all. Your voice is amazing! It was the sweetest thing I've every heard when you and Logan sang together, your such a cute couple. Anyway, you have to continue and let the world hear you voice. It would be perfect if you came on tour with the boys. The world would see you first hand with your voice." She concluded. She made and hard case, but I needed to do what my gut told me to do.
"When do we leave?" I asked. Logan gave me a quick hug,
"We leave in a month. Pack you bags first stop, Florida!" Gustavo yelled down the hallways. I shook my head.
