A/N Okay this is a very happy chapter compared to the last one. I hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Big Time Rush or the song you will find later.
James' POV
Another week gone here in L.A. Not much has changed, other than the fact we tricked Gustavo into giving us a sweet apartment, then he took it away, but gave it back which is awesome. He's not as bad as everyone says he is, well he is, but he can be nice sometimes too.
So tomorrow is Valentine's day, and the day that I will make my move on Adelaide. She is amazing and there is something about her that is making me nervous. I never feel like that around girls, but she makes me nervous. Carlos already had the guts to go ask Olivia and of course she said yes, it was only a matter of time. Rebecca is going out with one of her guy friends who asked her. All that's left is Adelaide and I know exactly how to win her over.
I run over to the mirror and do a quick check, then I grab my guitar, send a quick text to Adelaide and run down to the Palmwoods Park.
Adelaide's POV
'I don't know Olivia, tomorrow is Valentine's day, if he was going to ask me, he already would have." I told Olivia, trying to convince her that James doesn't like me like that.
"Oh my gosh he is so going to ask you out! You guys make the cutest couple ever! I've been telling you both all week! You two will go out!" Rebecca said as she looked up from her magazine. We were all in the living room of mine and Olivia's room and we were doing each other's nails.
"For once, I actually agree with Rebecca, which is weird." Olivia said, shocked at herself. Rebecca frowned but continued doing her feet.
Tomorrow is Valentine's day and Carlos asked Olivia, (Yay, finally!) One of Rebecca's "guy friends" or more like followers, John, asked her. It looks like I'll be all alone, other year. Then my phone beeped.
One New Message
I quickly unlocked it and squealed, which I rarely do.
Hey Adelaide, come down to the Palmwoods Park, I have a surprise for you.
Xoxo

"Oh my god! It's James! He wants me to meet him in the park!" I yell. We all squeal again. Then Mason comes out.
What are you all yelling about?" He asked aggravated. I guess he was gaming or trying to sleep.
"No time, I have to get down to the park!" I yelled and ran out the door. I looked down at myself. I had white shorts on with a white tank top that flowed out at the end and had red dashes over a red tank top. I had my favorite brown Steve Madden sandals on. My hair was up in a high pony.
Once I got to the park I looked around and saw James sitting at a bench under the biggest tree with a guitar. He was wearing dark blue jeans with a white button up. His hair was perfectly off to the side, as always. He was looking down, silently strumming the guitar, he hadn't noticed I was there yet. I took another step and stepped on a twig, he looked up at the noise. He grew a huge grin.
"Hey Adelaide." He said. He grabbed my hand and had me sit down and he stood up.
"Hey James, what's going on?" I said, I didn't really know what to say or what was happening.
"Well, I think you know that I really like you, and Rebecca has kept saying that we should get together and she encouraged me to finally make a move," mental note: thank Rebecca, "And I know you like music so I wrote you a song, I hope you like it. It's called "Would You Be My Valentine?" My grin grew, if possible.
Hey there
If you don't have plans
You could be my girl
I could be your man
I know you're lonely
It's another year
But I am too
So baby don't you fear
Yeah tell me
Would you like to be my valentine?
If it's cold outside
I can bring my coat
We can share on the cab ride and take a vote
Of how many times I'll fall in love tonight
Or we could go for coffee
And talk about how
Ron and Hermione have it all figured out
Yeah, it's love that we're all looking for
Even if we don't want it anymore
So tell me
Would you like to be my valentine?
We could kiss
Or just hold hands
Talk about how the world might end
And if so, we'll be happy and warm
Wrapped up tight in each others arms
He stopped and put his guitar down. "So Adelaide, will you be my Valentine?" He said with a wide grin, while he just stared into my eyes.
"Yes of course." I said and jumped up and gave him a hug. I felt so content in his arms. Again, everything was perfect. Finally, things were going right for once.
We were taken out of our trance at the sound of cheering. We broke apart, but James kept his arm around my waist. I looked out to see the other guys of Big Time Rush, Olivia, Rebecca, and a couple other people that were around the park and came to see what was going on. I blushed and turned to James to see he was also blushing, he turned to look at me and pulled me into another hug.
I heard Rebecca, Olivia and Carlos "Aww." I expected it from Rebecca, I knew Olivia was being supportive, Carlos on the other had confused me, but made me smile. I broke apart and looked at Carlos with confusion. Everyone else was looking at him too.
"What? Its cute and you guys are finally together." He looked down.
"Aww it's okay baby, I think it's cute." Olivia said as she pushed his head up, he smiled and hugged her. It was my turn to "Aww," they were just so cute. The crowd started to fade. Rebecca came up and hugged me.
"I knew it! I told you! And you were all worried an hour ago." She said enthusiastically. I just smiled. I ran over to Olivia and hugged her.
"You guys are cute, good for you Addy, just be careful." She whispered in my ear. I nodded and went back to James. He put his arm around my waist again.
"So what are we going to do tomorrow?" I asked him curiously.
"Well, it's a surprise of course!" I giggled at how excited he was.
"Okay well can you at least tell me how dressed up I should be and what time we leave?" I asked, trying to get some details. He looked at me, debating what to say to keep the secret.
"Fine, dress nice and I'll pick you up at your room at 10 to 6."
"Okie Dokie. Well you know what that means girls?" I said turning to the girls. Olivia looked confused but Rebecca knew exactly what I was saying.
"SHOPPING!" I laughed at her, Olivia looked like she was trying her best to not go off on her, if it wasn't for the guys, she would have attacked Rebecca.
"Yup, let's go girls, well take my car. See you later guys!" The guys nodded and headed for the hotel and the girls and I headed to the mall.
Time Skip- 4 PM the Next Day
All the girls were in my apartment. We were all heading out at 6 so we all decided to get ready together. I had just got out of the shower when Mason called me.
"Yeah Mas?"
"Well it is Valentine's Day and I'm having a girl over and I don't want you screwing it up so can you and Olivia spend the night at Rebecca's or something?" he said politely.
"Uh yeah, do you mind if we stay at the boys room? I really don't want Olivia and Rebecca in the same room all night, remember what happened last time?" I said shuttering at the memory.
"Hey the hair grew back! I thought half of her head being shaved was a good look on her!" Olivia said and she came into the kitchen. We all laughed.
"Yeah I guess that's fine if it's ok with Ms. Knight. You promise to be responsible?" he said, being a little over protective, but I knew that he trusted me.
"Yes, I always am aren't I?" I said with a laugh. He smiled, ruffed my hair, and went to his room. Olivia and I headed back to my room where Rebecca was drying her hair. I grabbed my phone and texted James.
Hey, my brother is kicking me and Olivia out of the apartment tonight because he's having a girl over so is it okay if we stay at your apartment? If it's okay with Mama Knight?
-xoxo Adelaide
I put my phone down and looked at the dresses. We all put ours on. Mine was royal blue and went down to a little above my knees. It had pleats on the bottom half and the top neck was almost a strait line about 2-inch thick straps. It was simple, but I really liked it. I paired it with some plain black wedges that weren't too tall. I had my silver heart locket that my parents gave me when they moved back to France. It had a picture of my whole family on one side and a picture of me and Olivia on the other. I almost always wore it, unless I was at the pool.
Olivia's dress was black and strapless. It was a sweet-heart neckline and went to her mid thigh. It hugged her body and she could really rock it. She had black high heels, at least 4 inches, that wrapped around her ankles too.
Rebecca's dress was strapless and strait across, it went to about her mid-thigh. The dress was black and had silver print of a techno pattern, with a black waist band. She had silver, simple, high heels, only 2 inches at the most because she was so tall.
Rebecca and Olivia were both straightening their hair, I didn't need to because my hair was already naturally straight. I curled the bottom of my hair in little ringlets and pinned my bangs back. Olivia just straightened her hair and pushed her longer bangs to the side. Rebecca had her hair straight as well with her bangs split and pinned up.
I did my own make-up, just some foundation and mascara, the usual. Olivia just did her eyes simply, eyeliner and mascara. Rebecca did a whole smokey eye and added some blush and bronzer. She always wears the most make-up of us all. I glanced at my phone to see a text from James.
Of course you can stay! More time to spend with each other! Mama Knight and all the guys are fine with it. Carlos is pretty happy about it too. Oh and I'll be at your room in 5.
-xoxo JD
"Okay Olivia they said it was fine, and James is going to be her in 5 and I think Carlos is going to be with him, so put on your shoes." I told her. She nodded.
"Well I'm meeting John down in the Lobby, so I'm gonna leave now, I'll see you guys tomorrow." We nodded and Rebecca was out the door.
James' POV
I was wearing kakis and a white and blue striped button up. I had a navy blue suit jacket on top of that. I just told Adelaide that I would be there in 5, I walked out to see Carlos ready to go, he was wearing dark jeans with a purple button up and a black suit jacket on top. He ditched the helmet for the special occasion.
"Hey Carlos, the girls are staying over tonight because Adelaide's brother is kicking them out."
"Really! Sweet! Do you wanna head down there together?' I nodded and we each grabbed a rose and left. I was feeling really nervous. This was the start to our relationship and it needed to be perfect. We got to the door and I knocked. The door opened and who I could only assume to be Adelaide's brother opened the door. He was one of the few people who was taller than me, very intimidating. He looked at me up and down, he seemed to be trying to decide his opinion of me. I should make a good impression.
"Hello Mr. Dupont, I'm James Diamond, and this is Carlos Garcia. I'm taking Adelaide and Carlos is taking Olivia." I said, staying confident. He looked at me for a second more then cracked a grin.
"First, you can just call me Mason, I'm her brother, not her dad. And I know who you guys are, these girls always talk about you. And if you break her heart, I will break every bone in your body. But I'm sure Olivia already said that. Same goes for you Carlos, Olivia's like another sister to me." He was right, I already heard that from Olivia this morning, she texted me. I'm scared of those two. Carlos and I both nodded quickly.
"Oh Mason calm down they're both fine. Now go get ready for your date." Adelaide said to her brother, he nodded and went to his room. Olivia came up behind Adelaide. Adelaide looked beautiful. What she was wearing was simple, yet elegant and she wasn't wearing a lot of make-up, but she look amazing, she had the natural beauty most girls want. I couldn't take my eyes off hers.
"Hi… wow you look amazing. Um here." I said, handing her the rose. I don't know what it is but she makes me so nervous. She smiled and took it and smelled it.
"Thank you, you don't look to bad yourself. Let me just put this in some water and grab my purse." Her and Olivia went and put the flowers in a vase and grabbed their purses.
"Bye Mas, see you tomorrow!" Both girls said, we heard a faint "Bye, ok." and we headed out. I took Adelaide's hand, she looked up smiled and moved a little closer to me. We got outside and we split ways with Carlos and Olivia. I lead her to an awaiting limo, I went all out. She looked shocked, but got in. I got in and sat next to her. After the door closed she spoke.
"I can't believe you got a limo, you didn't have to do that."
"I don't mind, I want this to be perfect." She smiled and leaned into my side, I put my arm around her.
"So where are we going?" she asked again.
"To a restaurant and then another location and then home. That's all I can say." I said with a smirk.
"Well that sounds perfect to me." She smiled at me and went to her previous position. We were silent, just enjoying each other's presence until we got to the restaurant. The limo stopped and we got out, she looked at the name and her eyes grew.
"Coach Insignia (1) ? This is one of the fanciest and most expensive restaurants I know." She looked back at me, I just smiled.
"Anything for you." She smiled and gave me a hug and we headed in. A waitress immediately seated us because I had reservations. We had a table that was right next to the window and had a view of the ocean. Adelaide looked so happy, it made me feel awesome for making her fell like that. Once we were seated, we both got water and the waitress headed off.
"James you have no idea how much this means to me. In Detroit they have a Coach Insigna and it's way at the top of the Renaissance building and it is the fanciest restaurant in all of Detroit. And back when I still lived in Michigan, my uncle took me there because I got all A's all through middle school." She said with a sad smile.
"Well I'm happy to bring back happy memories and hopefully create more. He seems like an awesome uncle." I said. She smiled.
"He was, he was like a second father to me. I really miss him and the rest of my family." she said looking down. I reached across the table and grabbed her hand.
"Hey it's okay, they miss you too. I miss my family too. But I have they guys and you and Olivia and Rebecca I guess, so we're all one big family okay?" I said trying to make her feel better, she looked at me and was smiling.
"Thank you so much James. I'm so happy you asked me out, you're a really great guy." she smiled and I smiled back.
"No, thank you for accepting and coming into my life. You're an amazing girl and I can't believe I get the chance to date you." I said. Her grin grew and the waitress came back with our drinks and we ordered our food. We ate mostly in a comfortable silence, but every once in a while we would say something to make the other laugh. Once the check came I quickly grabbed it and paid the bill. Then I took her hand and we headed back to the limo.
"Ok now to the second location." In about 5 minutes we made it there and I covered her eyes. I walked her a couple feet and then uncovered her eyes. She gasped at the view. I smiled at her reaction.
We were in a little park that I found on a run one day. It's right on the ocean and there is a big cliff that looks over the ocean. She looked at me and smiled and gave me a hug.
"I thought we could take a little walk around before the sunsets, we have about 10 minutes." I told her, taking a look at my watch.
"Well it's a good thing that I'm not one of those girls whose wear big high heals and I can walk around in these shoes." she smiled that smile that lights up my world.
"That's one of the many things I love about you." she looked at me confused.
"That I don't wear high heals?" I laughed.
"No, that your not like all the other girls. Your not as flashy and you are always yourself, I feel like I can be myself around you." I said looking straight into her eyes. She looked back and smiled.
"Thank you, I try not to let this city change me." I smiled and looked at the ocean, the sun was setting.
"Do you want to go sit over there to watch the sunset?" she nodded and I lead the way. She stood there and I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind and rested my head on top of hers. We just stood there in comfortable silence until she turned around and kissed my cheek and gave me a hug. I smiled and kissed the top of her head. We headed back to the car and headed to the Palmwoods.
We got there and we were walking hand in hand as we walked up to the room. We went in and it looked like Carlos and Olivia had already got back, I checked my phone and it was already 9:30.
"Hey guys." Logan and Kendall looked up from their spots on the couch. "Hey"
"Um James?" Adelaide asked, squeezing my hand.
"Yeah?"
"Well I don't have any other clothes and I can't go back to the apartment so do you have anything I can borrow?" she asked shyly.
"Yeah hold on, oh and guys, Adelaide and Olivia are staying the night, I don't know if Mama Knight or Carlos told you." I ran off to my room. I grabbed a pair of sweat pants and a shirt that had our old hockey team's name. I came back out and handed them to Adelaide and showed her to the bathroom. She smiled and said a quick "Thank you" and headed off. I was watching her until I heard Logan cough. I looked over to see Kendall and Logan with knowing smirks on their faces. I rolled my eyes.
"I'm gonna go change." And I went to my room and changed into some sweats and a t-shirt. When I came back out, Adelaide was already out there. Even with my sweats being big on her, she still looked beautiful. She had taken off her make-up and pulled her hair into a side ponytail. I took her hand and walked over to the couch and sat down, she sat down with her back to the couch and put her legs over my lap. She was practically sitting on my, but I was ok with it, she leaned her head on my shoulder and I wrapped an arm around her. Olivia and Carlos were next to us in a similar position and Logan and Kendall were on the other side.
"So do you guys want to watch a movie or something?" Logan asked. We all nodded.
"Okay what should we watch." He asked.
"Harry Potter!" Adelaide and I answered at the same time. We looked at each other and started laughing.
"Ok Harry Potter it is, well watch the first one?" Kendall asked. We all nodded and he went to find it and get it ready while Logan made popcorn.
We were all settled in and started to watch the movie, about halfway in I felt Adelaide wrap her arm around my waist and looked down and saw that she had fallen asleep. I looked over and noticed Carlos was in the same position.
"Hey Carlos" I whispered, he looked over.
"Should we take the girls and put them in our room and well sleep out here?" he nodded and we picked up the girls. Adelaide wrapped her arms around my neck and snuggled closer to my body, it was so cute and I really didn't want to leave her, but her brother and Olivia scare me so I set her in my bed and pulled the blanket over her and walked back out to watch the rest of the movie.
(1) This is an actual restaurant in Detroit, on top of the Ren Cen building. it's super fancy and my uncle actually did take me there for getting over a 4.0 for 4 years straight.
I hope you liked the chapter, I did. The song is "Would You Be My Valentine?" by Chad Sugg. You have probably never heard of him. He's a musician on YouTube and he is the hottest man alive. Look him up, you will not be disappointed. Review if you liked it, I know you are reading!
