JAMES POV
"Hey James, how come you are letting me drive your truck?" she asks me as we reach the car park.
"Well, mmmm, let me see, it's cause..."
"Spit it out James!"
"Ok, if I tell you, promise not to get mad"
"I promise" she crosses her heart.
"Well, you are a terrible back seat driver and Logan thought if you were in control, you might be better, so your driving"
"Logan is right" she winks at me "And I like his plan cause I get drive your truck"
I start to laugh only Katie can take an insult and use it for her own enjoyment.
"Katie, can I ask you a question?" I say as we climb into the truck.
"Of course"
"Why are you taking a pole dancing class?"
"Cause the stripper one was full" she answers me.
"What?!"
"Ha, ha, I'm joking" she laughs again "Camille recommended it to me. It's great exercise for your abs, legs and arms and I'm totally out of shape, so I need it. I mean look at me"
I do and the image of her at her class flashes into my head and I start to blush.
"James are you blushing?" she asks, eyebrow raised.
"Yes" I reply honestly "how could I not, you've just asked me to check you out!"
"And?" her eyebrow still raised.
"And I plead the fifth"
"mmmmm, that means one of two things, either you like what you see and won't say it cause you are afraid or you think I'm ugly" she states simply.
*You are not ugly" I answer immediately, facepalm.
"I guess that tells me" she winks.
I groan "Katie, just drive us home"
"Yes, Sir" she mocks a salute.
"And be careful or Logan will kill you"
"Logan? Not you?"
"Well, if you have an accident, Logan has to buy me a new truck"
"mmmmm" she smirks.
"Oh no Katie, I know that look, what are you planning?"
"Do you really want to know?"
"It's probably safer for me not knowing" I answer.
"You're probably right" she giggles.
The journey home is perfect, the fact is Katie is a really good driver. Just as we pull into the block, Katie turns to me.
"James can you please park your car in your garage and don't talk to Logan until I do. Promise!"
"Katie no pranks please!"
"Promise"
"I promise"
"Jamie don't worry" she kisses me on the cheek and runs off laughing "Trust me"
************A while later**************
I arrive first at Carlos'
"Hey Carlos"
"Hey James"
"Where's Jennifer?"
"She got a call from her agent, she booked a job in New York and had to leave this evening"
"That's sucks"
"Don't worry about it. It's only for a couple of days" he answers slapping me on the shoulder "How was your trip with Katie?"
"It was great, she's actually a really good driver but she told me to say nothing to Logan until she arrives"
"Why not?"
"I think she has a plan" I sigh.
"Oh, I'm sure it will be fun, knowing Katie" he smiles at me "What's the new gym like?"
"It's really cool and Katie's class was interesting" I tell him raising an eyebrow.
"Interesting, how?" Carlos asks me.
Just then Jo, Kendall and Jake arrive "I'll let you later" I say to him.
"Hi guys" Jo says
"Hey uncle Jamie, uncle C" Jake runs over and hugs our legs.
"Hey buddy" I pat his head.
"He only came over to say hello and give you guys a hug as he is going to stay with grandma to tonight" just as Kendall finishes speaking Mrs. Knight arrives.
"Where's my little man?"
"I's here grandma" Jake runs to her.
"Are you ready for your night at grandma's?"
"Yeah, puzzles and dino nuggets, my favourite"
"Be good for grandma" Jo kisses him on his head as he takes Mrs. Knight's hand.
"Kay mama" as he blows us kisses and waves goodbye.
"Hey guys" Camille, Logan arrive and Katie arrives just behind them.
"Oh my God Katie, what happen you?" Jo asks noticing her bruised face and bandaged hand.
"I was drive James's truck home and there was an accident" she turns to me, winking "I am really sorry about the damage"
I bite my lip trying not to laugh, bending my head I mutter "It's ok, you being alright is more important" I turn away as I am close to laughing.
"But Jamie, I can't afford to pay for the damage" she continues, sounding upset "I know how you love that truck and hate having to drive your car in the city"
Carlos knowing Katie is up to something and can see I am close to laughing says "Don't worry Kitty-Kat, Logan promised to buy James a new truck if you crashed"
"YOU DID WHAT?" Camille yells at Logan "You promised to buy him a truck?"
"Camille, Cami" Logan looks at her pleadingly "I didn't think there'd be an accident"
"So you didn't think!?" Camille glares at him "You're supposed to be the smart one and yet it's James that's getting a new truck"
As she says that we all start to laugh.
"What, what are you laughing at" Logan looks at us.
"Katie tell him please" I says hardly able to talk from the laughter.
"James told me about your deal with him so I thought I'd play a little with you. Jo helped with the make-up and of course Camille's acting helped too"
"You guys all knew" Logan looks directly at me.
"No, I knew she was up to something but not what it was" I answer him "Sorry"
"I'm not"
"Huh?"
"Well it will stop me making stupid deals with you" Logan smiles.
"Good" Camille states "Katie, I never asked how was the class?"
"Ask James!" she smirks
"James?" Camille turns to me arms folded across her chest.
"Yeah, he go to watch from the juice bar"
"Reaaallly? So James how was the view?"
"Er, mm, eh, what's that Carlos you need me to get ice. Ok then" I run inside blushing.
"What was that all about?" Carlos asks.
"I'll tell you on the condition Kendall doesn't get mad" she says glaring at him "I'm doing a pole dancing at Rock"
"WHAT?" Kendall shouts.
"Is it good Katie?" Jo asks "I've heard it's killer on the abs"
"Yeah, it's brilliant and the trainer is great" she answers ignoring Kendall who had frozen in anger.
"Maybe I should take it" Jo says, that seems to snap Kendall out of his static state.
"Kendall, Camille takes the class too. It's not a bad as it sounds" Logan tells him "it's a whole body work out"
"Really?"
"Yes, really" Katie and Logan tell him.
I poke my head out from Carlos's kitchen "Is it safe to come out?"
"Yes James" Katie answers
"No James" Kendall says at the same time.
"No?" Katie and I look at him.
"Well, I can get over Katie doing the class but what were you doing perving over her"
I gulp "It wasn't like that, the receptionist told me to wait for my girlfriend up at the juice bar, which over looks the studios. As soon as I spotted what type of class it was, I started playing games on my phone. I swear. Katie tell him, I was on my phone when you came upstairs. Please"
"Your girlfriend?" Kendall glares at me.
"What?" I stare blankly at him.
"You said to wait for your girlfriend" Kendall continues glaring at me.
"It's what, It's what the receptionist called her" I stutter.
"Freudian slip" Logan mutters.
"What?" Kendall turns to him.
"N-n-n-n-nothing"
"Come on guys food is ready" Carlos tells us.
"Fine, we'll talk later James" Kendall says to me.
Katie is looking at me strangely and turns and whispers something to Camille and Jo who are standing beside her. They both look at me and back to her. Camille whispers something to her and she smiles. I look at her questioningly and she shrugs her shoulders and her smile gets bigger. She makes her way over to the grill and grabs a plate.
"What was that about" I ask her.
"What was what about?" she smiles innocently.
"The whispering with Jo and Camille"
"Oh, that"
"Yeah, that"
She leans into me and whispers "mmmmmm I might tell you if you are a good boy or if you're a bad boy I might tell you sooner" she licks her lips and turns to Carlos and sweetly says "I'll have some chicken please"
Oh God what is she doing to me.
We all sit down and eat, and chat about the days recording session and Jo's reshoot. Every so often I catch Katie's eye and she smiles at me.
"Carlos" she asks "can we have some music please"
"Sure Katie, what would you like to hear?"
"How about some Timberland" she says looking at me.
I can feel the heat rise in my face and I can feel other parts of me rising too.
"Are you ok Jamie?" she asks sweetly.
"I'm not feeling great" I answer blushing "I think I'll go home"
"Ahh but the party is just getting started" she pouts.
She is so sexy when she pouts, oh no I didn't just think that. I did, Katie is sexy.
"Sorry, really have to go! Bye" I run from the house.
