I watched from the sidelines as I saw my boys sing confetti falling. The people around me were busy chatting, not taking a blind bit of notice to what btr were doing on stage.
I guess they had all seen this a million times... I would love to see this a million times. There is no way I would be able to chat amongst a group of people while this show was going on. No way!
I found myself clapping away when I was bombarded by sweaty bodies, Logan was first to come off stage, he gave me Beautiful smile before going to get a drink of water.
Next was Kendall who winked at me, then Carlos who just made Bee line for his girlfriend... then James came out. He had already lost his shirt some where during the last song. He had a small white fluffy towel in his hand, which he was delicately mopping up his sweat from his chest.
Oh sweet Jesus... he was putting on a show for me right now as he dabbed, and wiped, and pressed.
I licked my lips. He was too much. I wanted to touch him so badly.
James wouldn't take his eyes from mine, he could tell that I was enjoying his almost sexual show of sweat disposal.
"You ready to have some fun?" He asked me.
All I could do was nod. My mouth wasn't capable of doing much... it could probably manage to lick some of his sweat...
"Im just going to grab a drink.. you want one? James asked still smiling at me.
"That would be great!" I managed out.
James walked off to the large table and had a chat with some of the other people in his entourage.
"How did you find that?" Came a sexy voice. "Better than sneaking in tour bus windows?" Logan chuckled, he had a girl with him now. She had her arm wrapped around his waist.
"It was the most amazing experience of my life. Thank you so much" I said whole heartedly.
"You coming out with us?" Logan then asked
I looked over at James, I guess I was kind of his... fuck this was strange. "I think so yeah... where are you going?" I asked
James then snuck up behind me, placing his arm over my shoulder. "We are going to the bar at the hotel the crew are in... should be good! You still wanna come?" James asked, his eyebrows high with hope.
"I would love to... honestly love to" I replied. James once again smiled at me, he handed me a bottle of water.
"Im going to go and shower" Logan then said.
"Yeah me too... did you want to hang with Viola for a bit Gaby. She will show you where everything is" James said.
The girl who Logan was with then took my wrist in her hand. She had beautiful tanned skin and dark brown hair. I hated her on the inside because she had her arms around my Logan just moments before, but her big smile made me realise she was nothing but friendly.
"See you in a bit baby" she said in her thick Spanish accent.
I just gave James a smile. He gave me a beautiful one back.
"Where are we going?" I asked Viola.
"To the bus... once the boys are showered and ready for us they will come back" she replied as she weaved me through crowds of people, flashing her own VIP pass to whoever needed it.
Once we got through a door to the outside, I realised how hot I actually was, the air inside was so stuffy. It felt nice to have a cool breeze on my face.
Viola weaved once more through trailers and cars that were parked up until she reached the second of the tour buses that I had earlier peeked in to.
She flicked on lights and slouched down on to one of the seats. She rummaged through her bag and begun fixing her makeup.
I just sat down and gave the tour bus a good look around. I could not believe I was sat in here. It didn't look like a tour bus... but I didn't really know what they were meant to look like. The cabinets on the walls were a shiny faux wood color, the seats that ran along the sides were red... and very comfy. A table which matched the cabinets was fixed at the end of the bus surrounded by a huge U shaped sofa, a tv was positioned on the wall.
I then noticed 4 bunk beds one of which wasn't made. I wondered who the messy one was.
"Did James meet you tonight.. or you knew him before?" Viola asked as she painted her nails.
"I only met him tonight" I replied feeling out of my depth.
Viola nodded.
"How long have you been dating Logan... I didn't know he had a girlfriend." I asked.
Viola chuckled. "I don't think he does either!" She replied. "But we have been together about 4 months... Logan is your favorite? Yes?" She asked, her Spanish accent entrancing me.
"How did you know that?" I asked feeling very awkward.
"It's easy to spot once you have seen it a few times. The guys can usually tell straight away when they do meet and greets... James is nice though... or does he not float your boat?" Viola asked, her eyes amused, waiting for an answer.
"I think only a deranged person would say no to James Maslow" I laughed.
"Exactly" she smiled.
"Do the guys often meet girls at the shows?" I asked cautiously.
Viola shrugged. "Sometimes, but they aren't one night wonders... it's how Logan and I met. Kendall did have a girl but she just kind of went after a few weeks. I guess sometimes the boys aren't always what the fans hope them to be."
"They all seem pretty amazing to me... I can't believe they took me back stage! I can't believe I'm sat here" I said looking around the bus.
Viola smiled. "They are still just ordinary boys at the end of the day... their job is just a bit cooler than being a cable guy or working in Mcdonalds... which is probably what Logan would be doing, he isn't the brightest spark" viola said laughing.
"I always thought Logan was pretty deep" I replied.
Viola smiled once more. "You will see" she said, offering me the use of her make up bag.
"Im fine thanks... I don't really wear a lot" I said.
"You may regret that when you see the other girls that start creeping about... they can be complete bitches!" Viola explained.
"You seem nice" I added honestly.
Viola shrugged once more. "Im just an ordinary girl, it's the singers and models who think they are better than you that you gotta watch out for... what do you do Gaby?" She asked.
"Im still studying. What do you do?" I asked her back.
"Just a waitress in my dad's restaurant" she replied.
I was about to say she could probably pass as a model but the door to the bus swung open and the 4 big time rush boys swaggered in, Carlos had his girlfriend with him, and Dustin hung around by the door. They all looked incredibly smart and clean now they had showered and changed.
"Oh a new one" I heard Regan say.
Regan Valentine was Carlos' girlfriend. They had been an item for just over a year. Although Carlos himself was adored by thousands, Regan was not a popular girl amongst the big time rush fans. She was heavily involved in the porn industry and the couple was frowned upon because of Carlos having so many young fans.
I looked up at viola to see her reaction to Regan, I gathered they didn't really get along as she was ignoring her completely.
"This is Gaby!" James said flopping down on the large U shaped sofa at the back of the bus. He patted the seat next to him to beckon me over. I did as I was commanded and moved. James put his arm around me directly I sat down.
"Gaby! Well its a pleasure" Regan then said, her tone seemed friendly but I could of sworn I detected a hint of sarcasm.
James grabbed the remote and flicked the tv on that hung on the wall of the tour bus, he got comfy, placing his feet on the faux wood table in front of him.
"Has any one seen my green vans?" Kendall asked as he rifled through a pile of belongings.
"No dude but hurry up!" Logan said waiting impatiently, everyone else looked good to go apart from Kendall who wore no shoes.
While the shoe search went on, I got comfy with a maslow arm draped over me. A commercial for True Blood was on the tv.
"I love this!" James said.
"I've never really watched it." I replied.
"Seriously!" James said looking shocked, he grabbed a case from the side of the sofa next to him. "Here... have a read of the back... it's amazing. Best show I've seen in ages!" James added as he handed me the True Blood box set he had just picked up.
He placed his arm back around me, as he settled back in to his seat.
I read the back of the dvd, it did sound good... it looked completely full of sex too. No wonder he liked it. "Sounds really good" I said handing it back to him.
"Where is my fucking left shoe?!" I heard kendall moan in the back ground.
"You wanna watch it?" James asked about the dvd.
"I thought we were going out?" I questioned.
James looked up at Kendall and chuckled. "I think we might be a while" he said grinning as Kendall was now verified as the owner of the messy bed, he was now making it more messy as he rampaged through his covers trying to find his one lost shoe.
"Okay sure" I replied.
James pressed play on the remote and the beginning of true blood started on the screen.
"Are you local to here then?" James asked making small talk.
"Yeah not far... about a 45 minute drive" I replied beginning to relax. Viola was right, they were just ordinary boys, once the initial shock of it being James from btr has worn off, he was just a normal guy... watching tv with me.
"That's cool, I will try and fix you up with some more tickets for you and your friend to watch the show properly" he then said.
"This is your last Canadian show" I replied.
James raised a sexy eyebrow at me. "Hmmm so it is.. maybe you could come over to LA for one of those shows" he said with an amazing smile.
I giggled at his blatant chat up line. I found him funny, and James loved making me smile. His eyes gleamed whenever I did.
"Your laugh is cute" he said in a whisper.
My face turned bright red at his compliment. But James continued to smile.
Kendall then walked over and started searching the floor and over head cupboards trying to find his, shoe, the rest of the group were now all sat down with voila, chatting and laughing. I looked at Logan. He looked very smitten with his girlfriend. Talking to her softly, his face so close to hers. Every now and then he would kiss her.
"Your a logie girl then?" James said with a half smile.
"He was my favorite... sorry" I said.
James chuckled. "I like a challenge" he replied.
"Oh god! Get a room!" Kendall said as he was pretty much hanging over the arm of the sofa James and I were sat on as he tried to find his shoe.
I laughed at the banter.
"Technically this is my room" James replied dryly nodding towards his bed that was on the bottom bunk. he smiled away at Kendalls frustrated face as his shoe hunt wasn't going well.
"Where is the fucking thing!" Kendall growled as he threw a book across the room.
"What are you looking for?" James asked with a grin.
"My flaming shoe!" Kendall replied now upright again.
"What the red ones?" James asked.
"No James! Green... my green vans!" Kendall said losing the plot as he thrust the one and only green van he could find in James' face.
"Oh you should of said" James replied as he lifted his backside up and pulled out a green shoe that he had been sat on the entire time Kendall had been looking.
Kendall snatched the shoe. "Your a fucking retard!" He snapped, but hid a grin that threatened to escape from his lips.
James smiled away, thrilled that he had managed to annoy his band mate so well.
Kendall slipped the shoe on. The rest of the group then began filing out of the bus door. I was still stuck on the sofa with James. His arm still wrapped around me. I liked how it felt. It made me feel important.
James leaned in to my ear, his breath hot on my skin. "Did you want to just hang out here?" He asked, giving a side ways nod to the tv.
My first response to this was to gulp. My second was to look at the remainer of the group that gathered belongings on the bus before exiting... I really didn't feel like I fitted in with them. And I wasn't dressed up enough to go to a celebrity party.
"Yeah... I would like that" I whispered to James. He gave me a killer smile in response.
"J' you coming then?" Kendall asked now he was finally ready and waiting at the door.
"Nope! Gonna give it a miss." He grinned.
"Seriously?" Kendall said in a pissed off tone, I guess the shoe antic had already annoyed him enough.
"We are good watching this" James replied.
"Whatever!" Kendall replied then left the bus, slamming it behind him.
I let out a giggle. "That was mean, sitting on his shoe the entire time" I said.
James chuckled, "tell me about you Gaby... I bet you know everything about me... and Logan!" He laughed. "I want to know everything about you" he added.
I got comfy, slipping my shoes off and placing my feet on the coffee table like James was doing. I felt a lot more relaxed now every one had gone. "There isn't much to tell really. I'm just an ordinary girl from Ontario... I'm just Gaby!" I replied.
"You don't strike me as being ordinary... there is something about you... something amazing!" James said, the smell of his sweet cool breath on my face was hypnotic.
I looked at James, his face looked serious but he always had that friendly smile on him.
"I wouldn't say I'm something amazing... oh I like to dance, I do ballet. I have an exam coming up soon. Doing a lot of Pointe technique... it's tricky" I said.
"Seriously! I've done ballet... only did lessons for a few years, but I want to see your Pointe efforts!" He said grinning.
"I didn't know you did ballet?" I said shocked.
"Not many people do" he chuckled. I then imagined James in a tight- No gabs! Stop it! I said to my self, before my imagination ran wild.
"Maybe I could show you sometime... my Pointe I mean!" I said blushing again.
James smiled at me. "Your cute when you go all red like that. "The guys take the piss out of me because I get rosy red cheeks a lot... it suits you though" he said.
If anything this made me go redder. He was so sweet.
"I feel really comfy with you James... like I've known you forever" I said, the conversation seemed effortless.
"So I'm beating Logan hands down then?" He asked.
I nodded. "I think so" I smiled.
"What would you think could secure me a proper date with you... tomorrow, perhaps?" He said.
"Why don't you just ask me and see what I say?" I replied.
James grinned. "Okay... Gaby, I was wondering if you would like me to take you out somewhere... on a date." He said shyly.
The biggest smile erupted on my face.
"I think I'm washing my hair" I joked.
James shook his head in amusement at me. He then kissed me on the cheek. "You're definitely something special that I don't want to let go of" he replied still smiling.
"In that case I think I could spare one evening for you" I teased.
"So it's a date?" He asked hopefully.
"I would love to go on a date with you James... can I be honest. I'm going to make myself sounds really stupid now but... well it feels like I've done this before... with you" I replied.
"You mean like deja-vu?" He asked, intrigued.
"No... like... I'm not sure I can't explain it" I said.
"Like we were lovers in a past life" James then said, his face fairly serious now as I watched him.
"Exactly that" I replied.
"I know precisely what you mean" James then said looking away to his feet. I think I had embarrassed him.
"It suits you too" I said to him.
"What suits me?" James asked confused.
"When your cheeks flush red" I replied.
James then met my gaze with a beautiful smile. I snuggled in to his arm naturally as we watched what was left of the episode of True Blood.
I couldn't help but notice him keep looking at me. He had a very satisfied face on him which made me feel like the most adored girl on the planet right now. I wasn't sure my butterflies that I now had for my first official date with James tomorrow would stay under control.
My Logan feels didn't stand much of a chance next to the love I now had for James. I sure as heck, did not see this coming.
