When the boys arrived at "The Plaza Hotel," strolling in with their suitcases, the front desk was deserted. James eyes brows lifted when he saw the shiny bell on the counter top. He began to check himself out, flipping his hair and making kissy lips. Logan turned in his spot and stretched his neck over the counter to locate a worker. "Where is everyone? How are we supposed to book a room if we can't even get service. Is there even a bell anywhere?" he asked. When he looked down he saw a bell that said "Ring Bell for Service," then looked up to see James messing with it. Typical Logan thought and yanked it from his hands. "Gimme that," he said through his teeth.
"Hey that's mine!" James objected. Logan set it down, and then lightly tapped the button. It chimed through the hotel lobby. No response. The boys looked around. Logan then hit it again, still no response. Logan was about to hit the bell again but then Carlos pushed him out the way and began to hit it fast. Kendall, James and Logan suddenly began to back up. Their eyes wide and mouths gaping. Carlos hadn't seen this and continued to hit the button. Carlos intentions of getting service had changed to just hitting the button for pure entertainment. A dark thick hand the clamped onto Carlos's in order to prevent him from ringing the bell. When Carlos looked up, a tall colored man stood before him. He wore a suit with a purple tie and a silk white under shirt.
"Can I help you?" he asked solemnly. Carlos took his hand back and backed up. Kendall took his place and spoke.
"Yes. Hi. We're the band "Big Time Rush." We don't have reservation but we were wondering if you had any rooms left?" Kendall asked. The man sighed and turned to his computer. He clicked a few times and then turned his attention back to the boys.
"Yes we do. We have 2 Deluxe King Rooms available,"
"We'll take them," Kendall said.
"How many nights?" the man asked.
"3 nights," Kendall answered. And after a minute of computing the man looked from the computer screen to Kendall. "Your total is $3780.00 for the two rooms and $2835.00 for 3 nights which comes to a subtotal of $6615.00," Kendall sighed profoundly then handed over his credit card. Pricy but worth it he thought to himself.
Suddenly and abrupt roar arose from outside. When the four guys turned in their spots, through the glass doors, they saw paparazzi swarming the front of the hotel. Flashes of lights from the cameras flashed everywhere. Kendall's heart began to race because his mind went to one conclusion. Harmony. He looked at his best friends and by the looks on their faces he could tell they were expecting it to be her as well. They looked slightly petrified yet somewhat hopeful that it would be her. Then what came from the dead outside world was a girl filled with positive liveliness entered the hotel room. It was in fact Harmony.
Flash Back
Harmony walked over to Kendall who was seated at the piano in his house. She pulled off her big red coat and set it on the arm of the sofa. Kendall eyed her simple attire. Black skinny jeans, a white fitted V-neck t, with a beat up pair of sketchers on her feet. Her blond hair was tied up in a messy bun. She never seemed more perfect to him. She skipped over to Kendall, smiling. "Hey handsome," she said and motioned for him to move over a little on the stool. She sat beside him. "I finally finished the music sheet for the song," She said.
"Oh yeah?" he asked smiling back at her. She nodded. "And let me guess you know it all by heart and have come here to show me personally. Distracting me from my much needed piano practice," he said.
"Do you want to hear it or not?" she asked giggling.
"Fine but before my mother comes!" Kendall said standing up, his hands on his waist as he looked up triumphantly. "Before she tears our love apart! Ties you to a brick wall in a cellar and close it up with bricks! Where you shall perish and…"
"My mom is so right. I don't see why we're friends either…" Harmony said, dazed.
"Kendall smirked "Friendship is like peeing your pants. Everyone can see it, but only you can feel it,"
"That's gross" Harmony laughed.
"And your mother is a bitch," Kendall said.
"Kendall, sit down. I want to show you my song!" she stressed.
"All right, all right!" he said laughing.
"You need help…" she said under her breath, turning to the piano.
"You love it," Kendall said leaning into her. Harmony could feel his hot breath on her face. The smell of mint which made her notice that he was chewing gum, his green eyes on her, eyeing her.
"…lets be serious,"
"Lets…" Kendall said in a low entrancing voice. Harmony's right accidentally touched the keys to start the song. This was unintentional but Kendall's voice aroused her and she felt a little light headed.
Harmony slowly turned her head to look at him. Kendall looked back into her deep green eyes
"Are you going to start?" Kendall asked, his words as lost as he was in her eyes" Harmony felt slightly paralyzed by the recent turn of events but she swallowed hard, her throat felt dry but she manage to get out what sounded like a half spoken half talked sentence. "You might be crazy…"
"Have I told you lately…" Kendall trailed off. He also sounded like he was half singing and half talking. He leaned in closer. "That...I...lov-..." Harmony was about to lean in closer to finally close the distance but then the door opened with a din and in came Logan, Carlos, and James. It scared the crap out of the two, forcing Harmony to her feet and Kendall to turn around in the seat, facing the wall. "Wow..." Kendall breath in disbelief.
"Unreal…" Harmony said and put her hands on her hips.
"WOO! Kendall your mother called us and said to come by because she was ordering pizza for you and Katie and she said we could join," Logan said. "She's going to be at the office late again too."
"What's going on?" James asked. Carlos and Logan began to eye them suspiciously like James.
"Nothing. Nothing at all…" Harmony said. James walked a bit closer to her and pulled something out from his inner coat pocket.
"It was the last one at the mini mart and I thought I'd get it for you," he said. Harmony took the gift from him and eyed the Reese's,"
"Thank you. That was very sweet," she said looking up at the handsome brunette who wore a soft smile. Harmony turned in her spot and looked at Kendall. "Look what James bought me," she teased.
"Oh how sweet," Kendall mocked.
"Hah-hah," James said. He extended his arm over her shoulders. "But let's be serious now, I'm thinking Hawaiian veggie pizza?" James purposed.
"Nah! Pepperoni and chicken with hot sauce and bacon!" Carlos exclaimed.
As the boy fought over pizza Harmony and Kendall just took a long hard look at one another and what looked like something that was going to be a problem. James.
Flash Back
The click clacking heel of the approaching girl brought Kendall back down to earth. He eyed her for a moment. Harmony was dressed in white jeans, a pink low v-cut sleeveless blouse and white high heel boots. Her long blonde curly hair cascaded over her left shoulder. Big black sun glasses over her eyes but with them on Kendall could still remember her big ambitions green eyes that were behind them. She was closely followed by her singer partner Dylon Patton and their manager Diane. Kendall knew it was her manager from interviews and photos indicating her relationship to Harmony.
Diane's nose was buried in what looked like a scheduling binder. Harmony wore a bright white wide smile as she slowly approached the counter but it soon faltered. It didn't take a genius to guess why. If Kendall was mistaken she looked shocked to see them there. She turned her head and said something to Dylon who shrugged his shoulders. She didn't look pleased. She didn't say anything to the boys, who stood their uncomfortable looking like they weren't sure what to do. When she was face to face with the service manager, ignoring the boys, she smiled.
"Harmony Fantry. I have the "Edwardian Suite" reserved," she stated. She pulled her glasses off her face and Kendall couldn't help but stare at her eyes. But they seemed different...they were cold. The man went right to the computer and smiled pleasantly at Harmony. The boys found this slightly weird and offensive because they weren't treated with the kind manner in which he displayed Harmony.
"Yes, Hun," He reached down and procured a key from a draw and handed it to Harmony. Logan then cleared his throat.
"Ah-em," The man looked at him with the same grave look he gave them before. Logan smiled sarcastically not phased at all. "I believe we were here before Harmony and we have yet to receive a key," Logan said.
The man then reached down and slammed a key down before him. Logan and the other 3 jumped a bit. Logan scoffed. "I will be reporting you, rest assure!"
Harmony rolled her eyes and spoke. "I see you four still set aside time to humiliate yourself in public…which is what…all the time? Thought you would make better use of your time. Like working on making an album that doesn't suck. That way you can keep tickets from being refunded when a bigger celebrity comes into town. Well, at least you have the ability to entertain onlookers…" She spat nastily and looked at the service manager.
"Yeah well at least we don't steal from other artist to gain popularity," James retorted. Harmony laughed and turned back to the service manager.
"Your total for the three night stay will be $4035.00 and the one room will be $2690.00 coming to a subtotal of $6725.00" the man said. Kendall spotted Dylon giving them a dirty look before turning his attention to the service manager.
Harmony smiled and handed over a gold credit card. "Only the best for the best," Harmony said taking back her credit card and putting it back into her wallet. She smiled with a smug smirk and then lightly brushed the diamond encrusted bracelet on her wrist. "See boys that's what reaching number 1 looks like on the album charts, a single that makes 8.2 billion copies becoming one of the bestselling singles of all time. A single I might add that had no likeness to your crap," James began to mimic her under his breath in a resentful whisper. Harmony looked at James and stepped in front of him. James kept his ground, tightening his lips. She looked him up and down then brought her piercing green eyes back to him. "How tragic," she said. Harmony giggled to herself, turned and walked away. But when she reached the hotel elevator James yelled out to her.
"Yeah well…"James thought for a moment then spat "You should do some soul-searching. Maybe you'll find one," it was a good one Kendall had to admit. Logan and Carlos high fived one another. Kendall placed a hand on James shoulders, proud of his friend and his clever come back. She was being unnecessarily cold and deserved it.
She didn't say much but he knew she knew it was enough to eat at James. He did remember about the things James had said about her to a reporter so he had it coming.
James then turned to the man at the counter. "I am just as good looking as her!" he spat. The man raised an eye brow.
"Sure you are," he "agreed" and slipped away.
"I AM!" you could hear the hysteria in his tone. After a moment of awkard silence James began to hum in a clear tone "Sexy and I Know It" by LMFAO.
"Stop," Logan behest.
"Dude, you so won that. Relax." Carlos said. James closed his eyes and nodded his head vigorously. He seemed to be having a hard time dealing with what Harmony did.
