I didn't tell anyone about the photograph, keeping it safe under the books in my backpack. I didn't know how to. How exactly do I tell James that someone is out to kill him without him going red angry mode on me?

I trained with the team with my mind disconnected from my body. I was too distracted by the sudden changes in my life to focus on who I was passing the puck to, who I was trying to tackle to make way for my attackers, heck, I nearly pounded Logan with my hockey stick for no exact reason. And Logan was playing on my team.

I was thankful that I had a date set with James. At least something was going right at the moment. Or so I thought.

The second I returned home from school on the afternoon of the date, Katie pounced onto me, clinging onto my neck like a koala. I stumbled to keep my balance, ignoring her smiling face as I dumped my backpack onto the orange couch. I was exhausted from trying to keep my lips sealed, all the while wanting to blurt out all of my newfound secrets to my lovely brunette.

I sighed and threw both of us onto the couch, staring at her baby-ish face in confusion. Katie, however, was no help. She continued staring at me with her big brown eyes, smiling from ear to ear.

"What, Katie? You're smiling like the Cheshire cat," I snapped bluntly, too tired to bother about my words.

I was immediately hit with guilt once my baby sister's face dropped, a frown now replacing the wide smile on her face. "You forgot, didn't you?"

"What?" I scrunched up my face as I tried to remember what was it that I had forgotten. I don't remember promising Katie anything. Or did I?

"You promised to bring me to Dak Zevon's meet and greet!" she half yelled, half sobbed. I smacked myself, groaning. It must've been that one time when I was still distracted by the pretty brunette. Oh God, why today?

I opened my mouth to tell her no, only to choke on my words when I saw the tears streaming down her face. I mentally kicked myself. Now I had to choose between my boyfriend and my baby sister; both who mean the world to me. It's my first month with James, though. Could I probably miss it? He'd understand, right?

I sighed, defeated. "What time is the meet and greet?"

"6!" Katie's smile returned as she wiped the tear tracks that remained. She jumped off of me, running up the stairs. "You have 2 hours, big bro!"

I closed my eyes, grabbing my phone from my pocket. I quickly searched up James's contact, which was the first, and called him, heart racing from his unknown answer. The phone rang for a couple of minutes before his soothing voice flowed from the other end.

"Hey, babe."

"Hey, Jamie," I whispered, not knowing how to break the news to him. We were both looking forward to this little 'date' of ours. Fuck. "Listen, something came up. Katie's dragging me to this meet and greet with her favourite popstar and I kind of promised her I'd bring her there."

Silence filled the other line, making me jump to conclusions. Was he angry with me? Maybe I deserve it. "Oh," he replied after several thoughts involving my death in his hands played in my head.

"Baby, I'm sorry. Maybe you can come with us?"

"Does Katie mind?" His voiced cracked at the end, obviously nervous. I smiled softly. I have yet to introduce my baby sister to my boyfriend, seeing as how none of us were free for him to come over.

"Don't think so," I told him, hoping that the sound of my voice would be enough reassurance. "She's dying to meet you."

"She'll hate me, Kenny," James muttered. "I'm a monster, remember?"

I stifled the urge to yell into my phone. God damn it, James. "She won't hate you, Jamie. And, I told you before, you're not a monster."

"Yeah, right. That's only because you're in love with me," he chuckled, causing me to blush deeply at his words, which were true. Very true. "What time is the meet thing going to be?"

"6, you want to come over at 5 and head out together?" I sat up, grabbing my backpack before I made my way up to my bedroom.

"No, I'll just meet you at the mall. That's where it is, right?"

I blinked, now aware that I had forgotten to ask Katie where the heck the event was. I covered the speaker and yelled, "Katie, where's the meet and greet going to be?"

"The mall, duh!" she replied from somewhere within her room. I grumbled at her know-it-all tone, wondering how I put up with her for 12 years. I placed the phone back to my ear, listening to my boyfriend hum a tune that I wasn't familiar with.

"Babe," I called as soon as his humming stopped. "It's at the mall. Where are you going to meet us?"

"I'll text you once I reach, alright?"

"Fine," I mumbled, slightly unhappy that I wasn't going to see him for the next few hours. I grabbed a faded pair of blue jeans, my favourite red plaid shirt and an old pair of boxer briefs, craddling the phone on my shoulder as I walked over to the bathroom. "Babe, I gotta go. See you later?"

The brunette chuckled. "See you later, baby," he paused, returning with a deep, husky voice that he knew would excite me, something that we both found out a few weeks ago. "I love you."

Shivers ran up and down my spine. "God damn it, James," I cursed, looking down at the problem that had sprung up. He laughed on the other line before ending the call, leaving me to deal with my erection on my own.

I placed my phone on the bathroom counter before stripping myself bare. I turned the knob for the shower, changing the temperature with one hand while the other grabbed my half-hard dick. I groaned when the warm water hit every inch of my worn-out body, my attention fully on my pulsating member.

I flicked my wrist as I moved at a constant rhythm, moving my hand up and down my length while adding some squeezes every once in a while. After a few tugs, I released with an obscene moan, biting my bottom lip in hopes that I could keep my volume down. I panted, watching as the white liquid swirled down the drain, before I allowed the stream of water to wash through my blonde hair.

I was done and calmed within minutes, tugging on my attire for the evening before shoving my phone into my pocket and walking out of the bathroom, drying my hair with my towel. I peeked into Katie's room on my way back, shaking my head with a smile when I caught her bouncing on her bed, excitement apparent on her features. She paused her movements when she saw me, smiling sheepishly.

"You ready, big bro?" she asked, jumping off her bed and landing on her feet effortlessly. She wore her usual dark blue jeans and a similar red plaid shirt, her brown hair pulled back in a high ponytail.

I nodded and jerked my head to my room. "Let me grab some stuff and we'll go, alright?"

The youngest Knight cheered, grabbing her phone and a self-decorated notebook from her nightstand, stuffing her phone into her pockets as she ran down the stairs. I laughed at the speed she was going, shaking my head before I ran back to my room to dump my towel and grab my own wallet. I quickly grabbed a piece of paper before I left my room and scribbled a note for Mum, sticking it on the fridge in the kitchen.

I pulled on my favourite pair of Vans and walked out, rolling my eyes at my baby sister, who was already standing by the sidewalk waiting for me. I ruffled her hair playfully, rewarded with a punch in the gut as we walked to the mall, which wasn't far from where we lived.

Katie squealed the second we reached the stage located in the middle of the mall, jumping higher than usual when she noticed that the line for the meet and greet was still short. I fished out my phone and checked the time; 5.45pm. Whoa, aren't we early? I questioned myself as I accompanied my baby sister to queue for her own VIP ticket. I was surprised the VIP tickets were still on sale. I mean, don't girls go crazy and come 4 hours early just for them?

The brunette Knight waved at me as she headed for her seat nearest to the stage. Seeing as how I didn't bother getting a ticket, I left Katie alone with the other Dak Zevon fangirls, wondering around the mall aimlessly as I waited for time to pass. I finally decided to settle onto a seat in one of the fastfood outlets in the mall, one from where I can see my baby sister clearly since a large crowd had gathered around the stage. If anything happened to her, Mum would bury me alive.

I glanced at the time and sigh. It was already five minutes past six and I still haven't seen James anywhere, not to mention that the meet and greet hasn't even started. I chewed on the fries from the meal that I had ordered before taking a seat, texting my boyfriend with a frown on my face.

Where are you? I'm bored here. And you're five minutes late. No kisses for you. ): - Ken

I set my phone down and searched for Katie in the massive crowd of both girls and boys, relief washing over me when I saw her talking to some slightly older girls. I chuckled, shaking my head. She makes friends wherever she goes and, most of the time, these friends of hers are way older than her. Her reason being that she hangs out with me and my buddies all the time, so she prefers more 'matured' friends. In other words, she likes acting older than her actual age.

My attention was immediately turned to my phone as it vibrated loudly on the table, causing me to snatch it up and open the new text message that I received.

Aww, come on babe. It's just five minutes. Don't tell me you're dying of boredom already? :P - James

-.-" Can't you just run, really! Seriously. Get here or no kisses. Suck on it, bitch. - Ken

Fine you fiesty little devil, I'll be there in two. Sheesh, just can't wait to see me, can you? - James

Shut up and move you sexy ass already! ... Oh, and I have food. - Ken

I leaned back in my chair and chewed on another piece of fries, glancing from Katie to the large hallway leading to the entrance. My phone vibrated in my hands again, making me smile.

You just know how to crawl into my heart and make me insane, don't you, sweetheart? Save some for me! I'm reaching. - James

No. - Ken

I snickered, loving how my own boyfriend has an extremely soft spot for food the way I am with KitKats. I continued eating as I waited for any sign of my lover's arrival. I gave up after a while and turned to look at Katie, who was now on stage getting an autograph from her idol. She turned her head, catching my gaze as she smiled and waved.

I raised my hand to wave back, except a pair of cold hands suddenly cupped my cheeks from behind, tugging my head backwards. I squeaked when a warmer pair of lips pressed onto mine, chuckling.

James pulled back, grabbing my fries over my shoulder before moving onto the seat in front of me, chewing obnoxiously. I rolled my eyes, a smile tugging at the ends of my lips as I watched the brunette devour my meal. "Took you long enough," I whined, grabbing the last few pieces of fries for myself. I studied his attire; a white v-neck with a pair of black skinnies and a sky blue beanie covering part of his hair, somehow making his eyes stand out.

"I still get my kiss, didn't I?" he smirked, wiping his lips with a napkin. James's hazel eyes then scanned the large crowd, whistling low. "Holy crap, it's like we can do a flashmob here. Where's your baby sister?"

I looked around, standing up to scan the crowd for the short female. I felt my heart race when I couldn't find her. Oh, God, surely she wouldn't have gone off with some stranger, right? She's 12!

I sighed in relief, wiping the small beads of perspiration from my forehead, once I saw her, standing by the entrance of the stage, tiptoeing in search of me. I silently thanked the crowd for dispersing, allowing Katie to spot me and run over immediately.

"Dude! Did you see him?" she squealed, clinging onto my neck once more, her eyes wide with excitement. "He touched my hand, Ken! Oh my God, I'm never going to wash it anymore! Ah!"

I grimaced. "I'm not even going to ask if you're serious. So, what'd you get, kiddo?" I asked, crossing my arms under her to hold the big baby up. I'm lucky she's small for a 12 year old and that she's such a lightweight.

The young Knight took her right arm away from my neck, dangling a paper bag in front of my face. Where did that come from? I wondered, watching in silence with a soft smile as my baby sister rambled on and on about the merchandises that Dak Zevon had given her. Suddenly, she stopped, glancing at the sranger on the other side of the table. Katie took her hand out of the bag and pointed at James, who was wearing a sad, yet amused grin. "Who's that?"

The hazel-eyed boy glanced at me, shaking his head. "I'm James," he introduced himself, still wearing the same smile.

"Oh, you're the one who called my big brother a kitten, right?" Oh God, Katie!

My boyfriend chuckled while I blushed, biting my bottom lip. "Yeah, I'm the one who called him a kitten," James replied, eyes filled with glee. The idiot. "My kitten, that is."

"I hate both of you," I mumbled, lowering a giggling Katie down to the empty seat next to me. "You want anything to bite? It's just 7.30 now and I think I- Wait, James! Where's my burger?"

The tall brunette smiled sheepishly, crumpling my burger's wrapper as he wiped his lips with the napkin he used moments before. I didn't bother glaring at him. Hey, I did ruin our date.

"I'll buy something to go." She jumped off her seat, grabbed her bag and shoved her palm in my chest, making me wince at her strength. Katie continued to stare at me with a pout when I shot her a questioning look.

"What?"

"I didn't bring cash," she admitted, a wide grin on her face. When I refused, my baby sister pulled out her ultimate weapon, somewhat similar to Carlos's. Her puppy-dog face. I groaned in defeat, not having to stare into her big eyes to succumb to her power.

I shoved my wallet into her waiting palm, rolling my eyes as she skipped over to the counter. A snort made me glare at the boy sitting opposite me. "Shut up," I hissed, getting up to follow my baby sister.

"Aw, come on, baby," I heard him whine, dragging his chair as he came after me. "Baby."

I stopped abruptly, turning around with my own pout. Once he stopped in front of me, arms wide open, I sighed and leaned into his embrace. "'M sorry," I whispered into his chest. "Today was suppose to be just the two of us."

I felt his cold hand pat my head as he pressed a quick kiss to my hairline. "It's okay, Blondie," he reassured me, hugging me tighter. "At least I finally get to meet Katie, right?"

I smiled into his chest, thankful that Katie seemed to like him so far. I tilted my face upwards, staring deep into his slightly red eyes. Giggling, I pointed at his eyes, stating, "Jamie, they're red again."

For once, I was grateful for the colour in his eyes. I leaned up and sealed our lips together, heads tilted for a better angle. I nipped at his lower lip, causing him to moan and tug me impossibly closer. I pulled my head back, staring as his eyes returned to their original hazel. How I manage to do that, I still don't know. I kissed him softly, up to his ears. "And, I told you Katie would love you."

"Yeah," he grinned, looking over his shoulder. James released me from his grip just as my baby sister appeared at his side, handing me my wallet. I stuffed it into my back pocket and rest my arm on the brunette Knight's head, purposely trying to make her whine and shove it off in annoyance.

"Are you going to stay over?" Katie asked, walking between James and I as we walked out of the mall. The taller brunette glanced at me, unknown of what to say. "Come on! Stay over!"

I nodded frantically, hoping that my boyfriend would answer soon before my baby sister uses her secret weapon all over again. James apparently got the clue and shrugged. "Why not?"

Katie cheered before she continued blabbing nonsense to the other brunette, who stayed silent and listened. I looked at them and smiled, happy that they were getting along. Except when I saw the look in my loving brunette's eyes. His hazel eyes seemed sad, broken even, as though something was bothering him.

I reached behind my sister's back, grabbing and squeezing James's hand. He blinked at my action before lacing our fingers, turning his attention back to the oblivious child in front of us.

A/N : Whew. I'm late but, hey, I got this finished & I'm ... Working on the next chap. Just wondering, any objections if either chap 11 or 12 has smut..? Yakno. Yes? No :D? Maybe?

Anyway, Katie's the pampered one here, I think you can see that. Hahaha! Hope you enjoyed! Next one would be up tomorrow... I hope.
