AN: I'm amazed at the response and I'm stoked that you guys are enjoying this as much as me. Chapter 4 Enjoy!
We rode back to Jo's in complete silence. Everyone kept shooting me worried looks but after a while I just stopped looking. Eventually when we got to the house I had to tell everyone that I would be okay. They looked like they were ready to kill someone.
"What happened though Cam?" James asked me as we stood outside of Jo's apartment.
"Logan and I just talked. Nothing happened, please don't worry about me." They still looked worried but seemed to drop the subject.
"Alright well it's getting late and we need to be up early tomorrow. James and Kendall can share the guest room—" Jo spoke only to be interrupted by the boys.
"I am not sharing a bed with Kendall!" James shouted out horrified.
"I never said you had to share the bed, there is a pullout bed in the closet of the guest room. One of you can use that."
"I call the regular bed!" Kendall states before James can open his mouth to argue and sticking out his tongue for immature emphasis. Jo giggles at her boyfriend while rolling her eyes and unlocking the door to let everyone in.
"Okay so I guess since the guys are taking my room I get the couch?" I asked jokingly.
"Of course I'm going to keep my queen sized bed all for myself and make my best friend sleep on the couch." She joked back.
"Let me just get some PJs out of my suitcase," I say pushing James out of my way who was trying to get into the guest room first to steal the bed from Kendall. I grab the first pair of shorts I come across and a tank. By now Kendall and James were bickering about who got the bed again.
"Guys shut up! It's almost midnight and my neighbors probably don't appreciate the yelling. James the extra bed is in the closet, get it out now. Kendall if I so much as hear you gloat about getting the bigger bed I'm cutting you off." Kendall's terrified face was absolutely comical as he quietly sat down on the bed. James was trying his best not to laugh as he opened the closet door.
I leave the room to go change in the bathroom. I hear both boys scrambling to set the second bed up while Jo is probably still glaring at them. After washing of my makeup and tying my hair back I go back to the guest room to put my clothes away. The door is closed so I knock softly. James comes to the door to let me in. he had already changed into a pair of green flannel pajama bottoms.
"Where's Kendall?" I asked zipping my suitcase open. James gave me a pointed look while jerking his head in the direction of Jo's room.
"He's changing and bidding his lady love a good night," he explained. "His words not mine." He continued taking a seat on his bed.
"Say no more," I said laughing slightly.
"Have a seat," James said patting the edge of bed next to him. I oblige and sit where he had patted.
"So I know you said you were fine and not to worry but I have to know; what happened back there?" He asked looking at me sadly.
"You mean before or after Clarissa pegged me as the girl who cheated on Logan?" I sigh.
"Wait! You cheated on him? When?"
"James!" I say shocked.
"What?" He asks clearly haven forgotten the events from 4 years ago. I watch as he connects the dots. "I thought he forgave you for that?"
"He did, but it didn't change the fact that I had cheated. That's why we never dated after that."
"Are you sure because I recall a few times after that happened when I walked in on some heated make out sessions," He said raising his eyebrows in a suggestive way.
"Yeah those were the good times. But he still never called me his girlfriend after that and eventually those make out sessions ended when he met that new girl Kara."
"Right…her, gotcha. So what happened after Clarissa said that?"
"We just stood there awkwardly for a few seconds before Clarissa dragged 'LoLo' away for something," I said putting every ounce of contempt I had for her into my voice that James shuddered in fear.
"Then what happened?" he pressed.
"Well the dinner went well until the end when I couldn't stop staring at him and that fiancé of his," I decided that I didn't want to say her name ever again. "He looked kind of bored and clueless sitting with her family. But he caught me looking so I needed to get out. I didn't want it make it weird for us…" I continued my story while James listened with concern.
"Wait! You kissed him!"
"Yes" I answer sheepishly. "But then she called and he left and not too long after that Jo found me and we all came home."
"Boy is Logan lucky we didn't know about this before we decided to spend the night here," I looked at him confused. "The guys and I still live together but because Logan had some family flying in just for the wedding we offered our rooms up so they didn't have to find a hotel for one night only," Now I understood. "I'm sorry Cam; if it makes you feel better I always thought it would be you that Logan would marry."
"Why do you say that?" I ask against my better judgment.
"Not to rehash the whole us kissing thing but Logan by nature is not a violent person,, and the fact that he got this close," James demonstrates by holding his index and thumb an inch apart "to hitting me. I just thought it meant something."
"Thanks I guess," I say getting up from the bed. I walk over to the door while James follows me. "Goodnight James" I say grabbing the doorknob.
I turn around to be engulfed in a hug. "I'm truly sorry," James whispers and kisses the top of my head before letting me go. I give him my most sincere of smiles before opening the door fully.
Kendall trips over himself as the door disappears from where he had his ear attached to it. I'm torn between laughing hysterically and scolding him for eavesdropping. I settle with the laughter and say goodnight.
"Wait!" He shouts at me. I turn around and see him with arms outstretched. I walk over to where he stood and allowed him to hug me and hugged him back relishing in the comfort that my friends were giving me.
AN: There should be at least one more chapter left, maybe 2 depending on how far I let my imagination wander. Review? Please? {lessthanthree}
