So thanks for reading and don't worry! The angst is actually coming REALLY soon! Try to find out where the angst is somewhat hinted at in this chapter, hehe;) lol enjoy!

After a long day at work, the boys were very tired and were ready to go home. "Remember guys, we work on Intermission later on in the week." Kelly said, and the boys agreed and walked with Kyle out of the building.

"So, Kyle, where are you from?" Kendall asked as they all got into the car waiting out there for them.

"Well, I was born in Michigan, but I moved to Colorado when I was almost 2 months old. Lived there for 15 years until my family moved here to L.A. I've been living here with my family for about two years, and the Palm Woods is now the first official place I am living on my own. It's kinda nice." Kyle said, giving a laugh at the end.

"Well, we'll get along great then." Carlos said, throwing his arm over Kyle's shoulder.

"I'm sure!" Kyle replied, giving Carlos a high five.

They soon reached the Palm Woods. They were so looking forward to hanging out by the pool.

"Well, I don't know about you guys but I am BEAT." Logan said, yawning as they walked through the front doors of the Palm Woods.

"Ugh, I know, me too." James said, yawning and stretching his arms.

"Will it always be this tiring?" Kyle asked.

"YES." The other four answered in unison.

As they were walking through the lobby, they caught up with Jo and Camille.

"Hey." They both said. Logan placed his hips on Camille's waist and kissed her lips, and Kendall did the same for Jo.

"Hey." They said, then looked at Kyle. "Who's that?"

"Oh, guys, this is Kyle." Kendall said.

"Hey." He said.

"Wow, so are you gonna like, be singing at Roque Records now?" Camille asked him.

"Yeah, but only for a little while. BTR is gonna help me out until Gustavo can sign me somewhere." Kyle answered.

"Are you any good at it?" Jo asked.

"Well, I'm not…"

"He's AMAZING, trust me." James interrupted Kyle. Kyle grinned.

"Well, I'm not the best, I'm no Big Time Rush, but I guess I'm ok. I hate bragging."

"He really is good. You should hear this guy sing!" Carlos said, throwing his arm around Kyle.

"Ok, thanks guys." He laughed.

"Well, we'll see you at the pool in a few minutes, ok?" Logan said to Camille. She smiled and kissed his nose. "Got you."

Kendall and Logan kissed their girlfriends goodbye, while the other three started walking away, James and Carlos laughing and shaking their heads.

"Awww, come on, James, don't tell me you wouldn't do that with your girlfriend!" Carlos laughed. James blushed.

"Shut up!"

"Oh yeah, what is your girlfriend's name?" Kyle asked, grinning.

"Victoria, her name is Victoria." James said, closing his eyes and smiling momentarily. Just thinking about her made him happy.

"Don't even get him started. They just started dating and he's completely in love." Carlos said. "And you'll see her in her bathing suit today, James. Your new girlfriend, by the pool, in a bikini…"

"Carlos, knock it off!"

James tried to make it seem like he wasn't going to laugh. He failed.

"Aww, come on James, I won't tease you." Kyle said. Even he was laughing a little bit though.

"Thank you." James replied proudly.

"So Kyle, you are coming to the pool with us, right?" Carlos asked as they entered the elevator.

"Um, I guess so. Sounds like fun." He said, sticking his hands in his pockets as Carlos pressed the 'up' button.

"WAIT!" Two voices screamed.

Two girls mad a mad dash for the elevator. Just before the doors closed, they made it inside.

"Hey James." The one girl said, the other girl just giggled. But then they saw Kyle. "Who's this?" They asked.

"Kyle. He just moved in and he's going to be recording at Rocque Records with us for a little while." James said, placing his hands on Kyle's shoulders. The girls giggled some more.

"So I guess we'll be seeing you around then, You'll have to sing for us sometime." They said, giggling as the elevator opened up on the second floor. "Bye James, bye Carlos, bye Kyle." They said, giggling at Kyle's name and dashing out of the elevator. The doors closed, leaving the three boys alone.

"Looks like you've got some fans already." Carlos laughed.

"I guess so." Kyle said.

The doors opened up to the third floor, and James and Carlos followed Kyle to his apartment.

"So we'll meet you at the pool then?" James said as they walked down the hallway.

"Yepp, sounds good." Kyle replied. But while they were all going towards Kyle's apartment, a voice stopped them.

"James,"

"Hey Victoria." James said, a big smile spreading across his face.

Victoria threw her arms around him and kissed him, James wrapping his strong arms around her tiny waist and kissing her back.

"I missed you." She said.

"I missed you too."

"I was just going to meet you down by the pool." She said. She turned to Kyle. "Who's this?" She asked.

"I'm Kyle." Kyle said.

"Hey." She said. "I'm Victoria."

"So you're the girl James won't stop talking about?" Kyle said.

"Kyle!"

"I'm sorry, dude, I can't help it." Kyle said, Carlos joining him as he burst out laughing.

James' face turned a little red, but Victoria just laughed. "You're so cute." She said, kissing his cheek. "I'll meet you down by the pool." She said, giggling as she walked away. James dreamily stared after her until she was out of sight. He turned around and Carlos and Kyle were almost on the floor laughing. Their faces were so red from laughter they looked like they were about to cry.

"Ok, guys, let's just go to the pool." James said, crossing his arms. It took Carlos and Kyle another minute to gain some self control.

"Ok, so we'll meet you down at the pool in a few minutes?" Carlos asked Kyle.

"You sure will." He replied.

"Great! See you there." James said.

They started heading down towards their own apartment, Carlos still laughing as they, well, James, followed Victoria's fresh perfume scent.

"Having Kyle around is going to be too much fun." Carlos laughed.

"Yeah, it sure is." James said, trying to hide his laughter.

They were all down by the pool.

Camille was sitting on Logan's lap, Jo sitting on Kendall's lap, Victoria was snuggled up next to James, and Carlos sat all alone pouting.

"I need a girlfriend." He whined.

"Don't worry, Carlos, your day will come." Victoria said, patting his hands.

"Yeah, thanks."

"Hey guys."

A voice interrupted them. It was Kyle.

"Hey Kyle! Come sit with us." James said, motioning to the seat next to Carlos.

As Kyle sat down, some girls stared, pointed, and giggled to each other. Kyle just blushed.

"Kyle's been here for how long and he's already popular." Camille laughed.

"Hey, I can't help it I'm too amazing." Kyle joked.

"I like him already." James laughed. Victoria laughed and hit his shoulder.

As girls walked past them, they all looked at Kyle and giggled and whispered to each other. Kyle blushed and flipped his hair, then parting it to the side.

"Can we go swimming now, it's hooooooottttttttt." Carlos whined, throwing his head back.

"Yeah, let's go." Jo said.

"Ugh, fine, alright, we'll go." Kendall said. Everyone cheered as they all stood up, removing their shirts to reveal bathing suits and swim trunks underneath. James was amazed when he saw Victoria lift her shirt over her body, revealing a cute yellow bikini with little rainbow stripes on it. He felt a million butterflies in his stomach.

Kendall had to hit him with a towel to snap him out of it. "Earth to James, let's go." He said. Victoria giggled and kissed his cheek. James grinned and grabbed his own towel.

Kyle took his shirt off and threw it on his chair. Almost every girl stopped and turned their head. "Wow." You could hear some girls saying. The girls were so amazed and had their eyes glued to Kyle's abs.

"Someone's been working out." James commented. Kyle shrugged. "I do my best." He said.

"Me too."

"Awww, James, you look wonderful." Victoria said, patting his hard chest. James grinned and kissed her.

"Ok, we're jumping in without you!" Carlos said, and you could hear big splashes as Kendall, Carlos, Logan, Camille and Jo all jumped into the pool.

Kyle followed them, then James and Victoria, James keeping his arm around her as they hit the water together.

As they all resurfaced, they laughed. Kyle shook his wet hair into place as James ran his hand through his own hair. Even in the pool, you could still hear girls whispering and giggling about Kyle.

"Oh my God he's so hot!"

"Dang! He's got some serious body muscles!"

"Oh God, I love this boy already!"

"I'm going to love living here." Kyle said, laughing. James laughed.

"You'll fit right in."

Their day at the pool was a blast. They were there the rest of the day. They all talked and laughed and had a great time. And everyone loved Kyle. He got along great with everyone. And when you stood James and Kyle next to each other, it was like there was some sort of resemblance between them. They laughed a like, flipped their hair the same way, and all the girls were going crazy. So it was a pretty fun day for the two boys. And James was also happy because he spent the entire day with Victoria, too. Which, of course, everyone teased him for that.

When they were all done at the pool, and it was growing darker out, they all decided to head back to their apartments. Big Time Rush, and Kyle, had a lot of work to do the next day. As they all dried off and said goodbye to their friends, Victoria shivered.

"What's wring?" James asked her.

"It's really cold! And I forgot my towel." She said, her teeth beginning to clatter.

James quickly took his towel and wrapped it tightly around her. "Feel any better?" He asked, squeezing her in a hug.

Victoria giggled. "Much better." She said, and she inched closer to him. James grinned and kissed the top of her head.

"Let's head back. I'm cold, and it's getting late. And we gotta get up early tomorrow." Logan said.

"Alright, let's move out." Kendall said, and the whole gang started to head back to their apartment, James wrapping Victoria tightly in his arms as they walked towards the elevator.

"You two are like obsessed with each other, aren't you?" Kendall laughed.

"It's called being in love, Kendall, leave them alone." Jo laughed. James and Victoria laughed.

"Thanks Jo." James said.

"In my opinion James is right now being a hopeless romantic." Kendall replied.

James shrugged his shoulders. "What can I say? She's absolutely the sweetest and most amazing person I've ever met." James said, kissing her cheek.

"Awww, that's so sweet." Kyle said.

"I'm gonna gag." Kendall said.

James and Victoria rolled their eyes and smiled as everyone piled onto the elevator. You could hear girls whispering and giggling and see the surprised and shocked looks on their faces when he walked past with no shirt on.

"Oh my God! That boy is ridiculously hot!" One girl said to her friend as they saw everyone get onto the elevator.

"Oh my God, you're right! Who is he? What's his name?" The other girl replied, beginning to somewhat fangirl and freak out. Kyle sort of blushed.

"Awww, you'll get used to it." James said, patting Kyle on the back as the elevator doors shut.

"If that's what comes with being a pop star, then I'm ready." Kyle said, and everyone laughed.

The elevator let off at the second floor, and everyone got off but Kyle, Victoria and James.

"James, aren't you coming?" Kendall asked, noticing he still remained inside the elevator.

"Nah, I'll catch up with you guys. I'm walking Victoria to her apartment." James replied.

"You're such a hopeless romantic, James!" Kendall replied, trying to yell through the shutting elevator doors. The three inside the elevator chuckled.

They got off at the third floor, but Victoria and Kyle's apartments are on opposite sides of the hallway, so they all said goodbye at the elevator.

"Hey, James, today was awesome, thanks for showing me around. I had a pretty good day today." Kyle said, smiling.

"No problem, dude. I'm glad you enjoyed it. You'll fit right in around here." James replied. Kyle grinned.

"Thanks. I'll see you tomorrow morning." Kyle said, and he turned around and walked towards his apartment. James then walked Victoria towards her apartment, his arm wrapped tightly around her.

When they reached her apartment door, she turned to him. "Thanks for a fun day, James. I loved it." She said.

James grinned. "You're welcome, Victoria. We'll have to have more of those days." He said. She giggled. James grinned again. He loved her laugh so much, it sounded cute to him.

"Ok, I'll see you tomorrow, Victoria." James said, and he placed his hands on his waist and kissed her. But after their lips released, Victoria had a confused look.

"James, can I ask you a question?" Victoria asked.

James gave her a confused look. "Yeah, what is it? Is something wrong?" James asked her.

"What? Oh, no, nothing like that. I was just wondering, does it make you a little upset that Kyle got a lot of attention today?" Victoria asked him. A puzzled look came across James' face, yet again.

"What? No, what do you mean?" James asked.

"Oh, nothing. I just wondered if it made you a little upset Kyle got some attention today. It was just a thought, I'm sorry. I worry about you and don't want you to be upset in any way." Victoria said. James smiled.

"I know what you mean." He told her. "And no, everything is ok. Me and Kyle get along pretty well."

"Well I'm glad." Victoria said. She leaned up and kissed his cheek. "I'll see you tomorrow." And she turned around and went into her apartment. James then turned around and left, a big smile spread across his face.

But as he headed down to his own apartment, he couldn't help but think about the words that Victoria said. No, he wasn't mad or anything that Kyle got some attention today. He's new, and he's pretty cool, James thought, so he's bound to get some sort of recognition. And besides, how could James possibly be jealous when he had the most beautiful girl in the word on his arm? Not at all, he thought. Not at all.

James walked down the somewhat silent hallways, fairly happy about his day. He had some fun with his friends, spent the day with his girlfriend, and spent the day with his new friend. He smiled. Life is pretty good, James thought.

Life is pretty good.
