A Big Time Rush Story: Fame & Fortune

~James's POV~

I kept glancing at the clock. I wanted to get back to the Palmwoods as soon as possible. I had a good idea for a date and I was anxious to know what she would say…

~Carlos's POV~

Haley's pretty cool. She likes Captain Crunch… and other cereals, hockey, and helmets! Maybe I should ask her on a date… to the Helmet Emporium! I like Megan too, but she likes James, so I guess she'll just be my friend. She likes cereal too! I wonder if she'll get me some more…

~Megan's POV~

How long did it take to get back to the Palmwoods? I needed to see James so badly. I was positive Aunt Diana was gone so I could talk to James alone in the apartment if possible. I heard Jo's voice carry from behind a bush. Why would Jo be behind a bush? I crept over silently and found her in the arms of some dude I never saw before.

"Oh, Zeke, you're so sweet." Jo said, blushing.

"And you're so beautiful." Zeke said, pulling her closer. "Kiss me."

Jo just nodded and they kissed. Poor Kendall, I didn't know how I was going to tell him, I mean Jo didn't even see me. And who did this Zeke think he was? Oh, I was in deep trouble… and thankfully at that moment the guys walked to the pool and I was still near Jo's hiding spot.

"Hey, Kendall and James!" I said loudly. I looked out of the corner of my eye and saw Jo push away the guy and run out of the bushes.

"Hey, Meg!" They both called and I ran over to them. I wrapped my arms around James and hugged him tight.

"I missed you," I said, my voice muffled.

"I did too," He said, pulling me closer, if that was even possible.

I smiled and pulled away. "We got another casting audition in a day!" I said, excitedly.

"Great! What for?" Kendall asked.

"Modeling clothing! And if we get the part we get to talk too!"

"You'd look great," James said, holding my hand.

I blushed and smiled. "Thanks, hey what are you doing tonight? Do you guys want to come over? Aunt Diana's at the store till seven and I make some pretty good Mac and cheese!"

"Mac and cheese?" Kendall said trying not to laugh.

"Well, I'm sorry I don't know how to cook that well."

We found Haley talking to Carlos and Katie and found Logan with Camielle and we headed up to our apartment with them. Camielle and Logan sat at the couch holding hands and Haley and Carlos turned on the TV and started to talk about hockey. Oh, I guess that's what she was looking up last night… James sat on a bar stool and Kendall helped me in the kitchen.

"Have you seen Jo at all?" Kendall asked, raising an eyebrow. "She seems to be ignoring me."

"Uh… Jo? Nope haven't seen her and I don't think so." I said quickly.

"O-Kay then?" Kendall looked at me weirdly and went to turn the oven on.

I let out my breath and walked into the living room. "Anyone want anything to drink?"

"Water's fine with me." Logan said and everyone agreed after him.

"Okay, water for everyone." I walked back to the kitchen but I slipped on a water spot. "Woah!" I was prepared for me to fall but Kendall had me in his arms. "Thanks, Kendall," I said, blushing probably.

"It's no problem. You need to be careful." He said still holding me.

"You can let go of me now."

Just the James walked in. "Kendall! What are you doing with Megan, my girlfriend?"

"I-" Kendall had no idea what to say.

"I slipped and he caught me. If he didn't I would have been pretty bruised up and wouldn't be able to model." I said, trying to be sincere.

"Oh, okay," James said, still eyeing Kendall. He took me out of his arms. "Now where's this Mac and cheese you make so well?"

"I haven't made it yet and it comes out of the box… with the instructions on the back." I said, shaking my head.

"Okay, I'll be waiting." He walked into the living room.

I made the Mac and cheese and found a bag of Doritos in the cupboard. I glanced at the clock: 5:54. We still had some time till Aunt Diana got back. "Mac and cheese, water, and Doritos, come and get it!" I called into the kitchen. They came out to get their food and we went back to the couch. I brought mine and James's food out and I lounged against him.

"Thanks," He said, whispering it in my ear. "You know I think it would be nicer just being alone with you. How about a date on Saturday?"

"That would be great!" I said a little too loudly.

Everyone turned to me and I waved quickly. "Hey," Everyone shook their heads and grinned and I heard Logan say "The secrets of the secretive couple."

"We're not secretive!" James said. I nodded in agreement.

We watched TV till 6:45 or so, giving them enough time to leave before Aunt Diana got home. I noticed Haley and Carlos getting closer and closer together. Logan and Camielle were snuggling but poor Kendall had no one. How was I going to tell him?
