A/N Hey guys, I keep getting a lot of views, and I have my first person to favorite. I looked at your profile Olivia, and I love it! But still no reviews, I really want to know what you think. Nothing in this chapter actually happened, I just thought my story was too short. I finished writing another story that's a lot different than this story, and a lot shorter. I'll save it and upload after this one is finished. I started working on the sequel for this story, but I'm trying to make it more interesting. Finally, I wanted to know if any of you have read the book "Beach Blondes" or that series. If you have, please PM me or leave a review.

James' POV
I was heading down to Adelaide's apartment when I stopped myself to do a quick check of my hair. Good. I walked up and knocked on the door. What answered the door was something I was certainly not expecting.
Adelaide's beautiful, long, red hair was replaced with dark brown, shoulder length hair with straight across bangs. I looked down and noticed she was wearing kaki pants, with a light blue polo button up. She never dresses proactively, but this was not her style in any way. I've never even seen her wear long pants, or a long sleeve shirt. This was very weird.
I leaned in to give her a kiss, as I always do, but she turned her head so I kissed her cheek and she kissed mine. Then she turned and kissed my other cheek too. I looked at her confused.
"Bonjour James. It's so great of you to come down here! Come in." she said with a smiled that didn't reach her eyes. I nodded and continued to eye her suspiciously. I looked away to see a man standing there, maybe early 50's. He was dressed in a black suit.
"Uncle Donn, this is my friend James Diamond, he lives down the hall. James, this is my uncle, Donn DuPont." she didn't call me her boyfriend, so that must have had something to do with why she rejected my kiss. She subtlety turned her finger as if to say "play along"
"Hello, nice to meet you Mr. DuPont" I said, I stuck my hand out for him to shake. He took it and gave it a good shake.
"Nice to meet you too James." he said, with no enthusiasm. I looked at Adelaide and she was just shaking her head.
"Well I have to use the bathroom, where is it Adelaide?" he asked turning back to her.
"Go though there, second door on the left." He nodded and left. As soon and I heard the door click I turned back to Adelaide.
"Talk." I said. She sighed.
"Okay that is my Uncle Donn, you know the one I told you about one our first date?" I nodded and smiled, that was a good night.
"Ok so you know that I really look up to him, and he's in town for the week working on a case, because he's a lawyer. He is super strict and doesn't know that I'm a singer or actress or anything, he thinks I'm going to collage here to be a bio-medical engineer. He thinks people who dye their hair are crazy so I put on a wig and I dress like this in front of him because he says to 'always dress your best.'" she said really fast. I took it all in. It answered all my questions except one.
"Ok why did you reject my kiss and call my your friend?" Surely he wouldn't mind her having a boyfriend.
"Well I told him I have a boyfriend, but I didn't tell him who yet, and I need to see his opinion of you before I tell him that I'm dating you. Please don't hate me. It's only this week." She gave me the puppy dog look and I couldn't resist.
"Oh I could never hate you." I said. She smiled and hugged me.
"Okay well, knowing him, as soon as you leave, he'll tell me his opinion of you so go and I'll come over in a bit." she said. I nodded and gave her a quick peck and went back to my room.
Adelaide's POV
"Did James leave?" Uncle Donn said as he left the bathroom.
"Yeah, he had an emergency back at home." I said, hoping that was believable.
"Good, I didn't like him." My face fell.
"Why not?" I asked, trying not to sound too pouty
"He's seem like a player, that's not classy. He's not your boyfriend right?" he asked.
"No… uh my boyfriend is one of his… uh…roommates! Real good guy, I promise." Yes, good excuse. I hope the boys go along with this.
"Ok, I want to meet him. Have him, the rest of the boys, Olivia and Mason come to dinner with us tonight. I'll have a limo pick us up and take us to Coach Insignia at 7." he said.
"Okay, I'll tell them." I said with a smile.
"Alright I have a meeting to go to, so I will see you later." I nodded and he kissed my head and left. I ran to my room and put on some white shorts and ran down to the boys apartment. I quickly knocked on the door.
"Hey babe." James greeted as he opened the door and gave me a quick kiss.
"Hey I need to tell you and the guys something about my uncle." I said, nervous as to how they were going to react. He nodded and went to grab the boys. They all came out and sat down. James grabbed a water bottle and sat down next to them.
"What up with your hair?" Carlos asked. I reached up and realized I was still wearing my wig.
"Yeah that's what I need to talk to you about. My uncle is in town and he's super strict and I have to dress like this around him and he hates people who dye their hair so I have to wear a wig and he thinks I'm in L.A. going to collage to be a bio-medical engineer." I said, super fast.
"A bio-medical engineer? Where would he get that?" Logan asked.
"Oh that was always what I wanted to be while I was growing up, before I wanted to be an actress." I said with a proud smile.
"Wow, ambitious." he mumbled.
"What is a bio-medical engineer?" Kendall asked, Carlos and James nodded.
"It's a person who creates technology to replace body parts or has anything to do with the medical field." I said, smiling at my old dream. I defiantly want to pick up on that after my singing career is over.
"Wow, that's cool." Carlos said.
"Yeah, I love biology." they all nodded
"Oh, back to the point. He wants to take us five, Olivia, and Mason to Coach Insignia for dinner tonight at 7. So dress nice and meet in the lobby at 5 to 7."
"Oh my gosh that's so nice of him. Why is he doing that?" Kendall asked.
"He wants to meet my boyfriend and friends, well he already knows Olivia, but she's like part of the family so she's coming too." I said, my nervousness returning.
"Well that's great, so what did he say about me once I left?" James asked. I looked down.
"Yeah about that, he said that he didn't like you, and then he said 'that's not your boyfriend right?' and I panicked and said that you weren't my boyfriend, one of your roommates was. Please don't hate me." I said quickly and softly. He spit out all of his water in a classic spit take.
"WHAT?!" He said, more like yelled, once he could talk again.
"Please don't hate me, it's just this week and when he's here, he's not even staying at this hotel. Please James, he's like a father to me and I really want him to keep his opinion of me." I pleaded. He looked at me and then sighed.
"You I could never hate you, just stop with the eyes." I smiled and ran up and hugged him and kissed him.
"Thank you so much, I'm so sorry. But I have to 'date' one of the guys and I was thinking Logan." I said.
James, Carlos and Kendall all said, "Why him?" at the same time Logan said "Why me?"
"Well not Carlos because of Olivia, and Logan over Kendall because, no offence, he's smarter and more of the guy that my uncle wants me with." I said.
"Why did you have to tell him you have a boyfriend?" James asked.
"I don't know, it slipped. I promise, Logan and I won't go past hand holding and it's only when my uncle is around. I only like you." I said as I grabbed both of his hand, he sighed and kissed me. I smiled.
"You know I could never like Logan like that." I said.
"Gee thanks." Logan said sarcastically.
"Oh you know you're my best guy friend." I said and hugged him.
"Hey!" Carlos and Kendall said.
"Oh calm down, you know its true." I went over and hugged them to make them feel better. I turned back to Logan
"Okay so wear something really nice, like a suit. He likes suits. Carlos, that means no helmets. And as soon as you see him, introduce yourself and shake his hand, he likes that stuff. And when you talk to him say 'Mr. DuPont' unless he says different. And just use your manners. " I said, thinking of things he likes. Logan nodded.
"Okay we have 2 hours so I'm going to go get ready." They all nodded and I walk into my apartment. Olivia was sitting there. She looked up.
"Uncle Donn's back?" she said, pointing at my wig. I nodded.
"Sweet I love him! He's hilarious." she said excitedly. I nodded and laughed thinking at all the funny memories we had.
"Oh, he's paying for you, me, the boys, and Mason to go to dinner tonight at Coach Insignia at 7. So let's go get ready." I said heading for the bathroom.
"Oh Uncle Donn, he's awesome. What's the occasion?" I turned around slowly.
"He wants to meet my boyfriend and other friends." I said
"Oh he's gonna meet James? I hope he makes a good first impression." she commented
"Yeah about that…" I told her everything that happened.
"Well at least it's not Carlos." she said, I rolled my eyes.
"Let's get ready." I said, she nodded.
I picked out a dress that I never wore, it covered too much and wasn't really my style. I think my Aunt bought this, she was weird like that. I put it on. It was navy blue and the top part went up to my collar bone and wrapped around my neck. The back when down the same as the front. It had a navy, silk, waist band and then flowed down all the way to my knees. I put on my black wedges and fixed my wig. I just put on mascara and went to find Mason to tell him about the plans.
"Hey Mason." He looked up from the video game he was playing and looked at me.
"Uncle Donn's in town?" he said. I nodded and he laughed. I hit him on the arm.
"Don't laugh. Go get ready, he's taking you, me, Olivia, and the guys to Coach Insignia. Oh and he doesn't like James, so I'm pretending to date Logan. Don't screw this up." He looked shocked and then just shook his head and went to his room. I went to Olivia's room.
She was wearing a red, satin, dress that was covering all of her chest and had little straps. There was a thin red waistband and then it just went straight down to a little above her knee. She was wearing some black wedges and had her hair up in a tight bun. She had lipstick that matched her dress color and was wearing eyeliner and mascara. She always dresses a bit more modest when Uncle Donn is around. We walked out to see that Mason was ready, wearing a navy blue suit. I looked at the time, 10 to 7.
"Hey guys we should head down, you know how Uncle Donn hates when people are late." Mason said. Olivia and I nodded. We grabbed our small, black pursed and went down the hall to get the boys, I knocked and Kendall opened the door.
"Hey, one second, James is finishing his hair and Carlos is getting his jacket. You guys look nice." We nodded.
"Thank you" we said at the same time. We walked in and Mason followed.
"Nice apartment." He said.
"Thanks. It took a lot." Logan said with a smile. He was wearing a black suit with a blue tie.
"Hey nice tie choice, we match." He looked down.
"Oh hey we do!" we all laughed and James and Carlos came out. I walked up to James and gave him a quick kiss on the lips and took his hand. He had a suit on as well, but his was navy blue. Carlos had jeans with a red button up and a black suit jacket. Kendall had kaki pants and a gray button up and a black jacket.
"Okay let's head down, he's probably already down there." I said, we all nodded and headed out. I was in the back with James, he was rubbing circles on my hand with his thumb. He leaned down and whispered in my ear,
"I think you look really great in that dress." His hot breath in my ear calmed me down a little.
"Thank you, but I hate this dress, so much you don't even know. I'm doing this for Uncle Donn." I knew he just said that to make me feel better. He laughed and gave me a quick kiss before we got in the elevator. I stood next to Logan, immediately missing James' warmth.
The elevator opened and I took Logan's hand and walked out to my uncle. It felt a little awkward, but I would have to put up with it.
"Hey Uncle Donn!" I said and came up and hugged him. He hugged me back, as always. He kissed the top of my head.
"Hey sweetie, how's my favorite niece?" he asked, even thought I had a sister and he had a lot of other nieces, I was still his favorite.
"Great, how's my favorite Uncle?" We always went back and forth like this. I really missed him.
"Happy to see you again." I smiled.
"Hey Uncle Donn." Mason stepped up after I went back to Logan.
"Mason. Good to see you." he shook his hand.
"Uncle Donn, long time no see." Olivia said and she came and gave him a hug.
"How's my favorite Arabic girl doing?" he asked, he was a little racist, but we didn't mind. It was just him.
"Fantastic!" she didn't mind being called that, she was proud to be Arabic.
"Hello Mr. DuPont, I'm Logan Mitchell, Adelaide's boyfriend. Nice to meet you." Logan stepped up next. Uncle Donn looked impressed.
"Nice to meet you too Logan. Please, call me Donn." he said with a smile. Yes! It was working!
"Will do sir." Logan said, shaking his hand.
"Ok so this is Carlos, Olivia's boyfriend, Kendall, and you already met James." They all shook his hand.
"Nice to meet you all, well let's get in the limo, our reservations are at 7." We all headed in. I sat in between James and Logan. It was an awkward drive, thankful it was only about 20 minutes.
James' POV
We all got out of the limo and Adelaide took Logan's hand. I got a little jealous again, but they both looked a little awkward and uncomfortable, so that made me feel better. She really wants to please her Uncle so I'll go along. When she saw him in the lobby, her whole face light up and she said he was her favorite and he said she was his favorite, so I don't want to ruin that for her.
We all sat down at a big square table that had three on each side, and a place at the two ends. Adelaide's uncle took the end and Mason took the other end. Adelaide sat next to her uncle, with Logan next to her, and Kendall next to Logan. On the other side was Olivia by Mr. DuPont, then Carlos, and finally me.
We all ordered drinks and Mr. DuPont spoke up.
"So Logan, how did you meet Adelaide?" Logan looked to Adelaide and she gave him small nod.
"Well we go to the same college and I'm studying to be a doctor and so we have a couple of the same classes and we had to be lab partners and it just went from there." he said confidently. I got to give him credit, he's good.
"Oh, what kind of doctor are you going to be?" He asked.
"Cardiologist." He said immediately. He was a good choice, he already knows what kind of doctors there are and what he wants to be so that's good.
"Very nice, my sister is a cardiologist, she could get you a job." he said politely. Adelaide spoke up next.
"Oh yeah, Aunt Julie would love to get you a job." She said, she looked at Logan with a smile that said "good choice." He smiled.
"Thank you sir, I'll give you a call when I finish if I need help." he said with a smile. The waiter came back and took our orders. We had a little more small talk until our entrées came. We ate in mostly silence until Mr. DuPont spoke up again. He was a very bold person.
"Well let's see the lovely couple share a kiss." he said with a smile. Everyone heads snapped up. Mason, Kendall and Carlos were trying to hold back laughs and I looked at Logan with fury in my eyes. Adelaide and Logan looked panicked. Adelaide spoke.
"Uh… well…" she looked at Logan for help.
"Well Mr. DuPont, that wouldn't be very classy to show affection in a place as fancy as this, PDA is frowned upon in our relationship." Logan said, slightly nervous. We all turned to her uncle. He smiled.
"Very good Logan, I knew I liked you for a reason. Very classy." I breathed a sigh of relief and Adelaide visibly relaxed. She turned to Logan and mouthed "thank you" and he smiled at her and nodded.
The rest of the dinner was mostly silent except for a little small talk. We all left the restaurant after Mr. DuPont paid and we all said thanks. We got in the limo and drove back in silence. When we got out we all said thanks again and went inside. As soon as we were inside, I took Adelaide's hand and she looked up and smiled at me and leaned closer to me. We all got in the elevator and I went with Adelaide, Olivia, and Mason to their apartment.
Olivia and Mason went straight to their room and as soon as their doors closed I leaned in and kissed Adelaide. She licked my lip and I gave her entrance. We walked over to the couch and sat down, never breaking the kiss. She crawled onto my lap and started running her fingers through my hair, while I just held onto her hips.
"Adelaide, you left your purse in the…" We broke apart and jumped up. Her uncle was standing there with her purse in his head with a disapproving look on his face. I guess the door wasn't locked.
Adelaide's POV
"Adelaide, your cheating on Logan with his player roommate? Come on, I thought your father and I raised you better." I looked down. I felt James squeeze my hand and I looked up. I could feel the tears coming. He gave me a nod and I looked back at my uncle.
"Well Uncle Donn, the truth is that I'm not dating Logan. He's just one of my friends. I'm actually dating James and Logan was just helping me out because you didn't like James." I took off her wig and my red hair flowed down. "Also, I dyed my hair red a couple years ago and I really liked it so I kept it. I'm not here going to college, I'm living my dream of being an actress and a singer. I even got signed. I just really wanted you to still like me." I looked down again and James squeezed my hand.
"So you went through all of that, just so you would still be my favorite niece?" I nodded.
"Well, as long as your signed and your happy, I'm happy and your still my favorite. You are more successful than my own daughter. Oh she's a mess. And if this boy was willing to let his best friend pretend to date you so that I would approve, well he can't be that bad." our heads shot up and I ran to him and gave him a hug.
"Oh thank you, I love you, thanks for being my favorite uncle and a second father." I said and he laughed and hugged me back. He gave me my purse and turned to James.
"Be good to her ok? I like her better than my own daughter sometimes." he said. James looked confused for a second which made me smile.
"Will do sir." James said and put his arm around me. I looked up and smiled.
"Ok well I'm going to go to my hotel so I'll see you tomorrow Adelaide." I nodded and walked him to the door.
As soon as the door shut I turned to James and smiled. He was about to move in but I put up my hand and ran to my room. I threw on some sweats and his t-shirt. I ran out and hugged him. I threw my arms around his neck and buried my head into his neck. He held me around my waist and I wrapped my legs around his waist and he was still able to hold me by my waist. I moved my head back and kissed him. I pulled away and we sat down to watch a couple movies until I feel asleep on his shoulder.
I hope you guys liked this chapter. That is excatly my uncle's personality, and I do have a sister, and my uncle does say I'm his favorite :)
