Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't updated in a while! I have been in Virginia Beach on Spring Break! It was warm and sunny! But now I'm back home and I'm working on the next few chapters of Life Is A Jungle Gym :) Thanks to LexidaLou, Jeremy Shane, If life was a movie, and kaybay95 for reviewing the last chater! I love hearing from you guys!
Chapter ten. Carlos finds out and Meeting Camille
I woke up the next morning to sunlight streaming through the window. I smiled remembering last night with James. I slowly climbed out of bed and stood up. As a jolt of pain shot up my leg I remembered my sprained ankle. I hopped on my good foot over to the dresser where I had placed the ankle brace the night before. I heard the guys laughing out in the main room and got excited remembering that I was going to their concert that afternoon. I quickly wrapped my ankle and changed out of my PJs.
As I exited my room I saw the guys huddled over a game of table hockey. "Good morning." I greeted cheerily. I got nods of acknowledgement from Kendall, Carlos, and Logan. James actually turned around and smiled at me. I smiled back and headed toward the fridge.
I made a bowl of cereal and sat down on the orange couch. When I turned on the TV, the news channel was on. Normally I find the news boring, but the sight of four familiar faces caught my attention.
"…And the popular boy band 'Big Time Rush' produced by Rocque Records is going to have a concert this afternoon at the county fair…" The news anchor said. The picture changed to a short clip of their most recent concert and their signature song played softly in the background as the anchor continued to give the details of the event.
"Hey guys!" I called over to them. "You're on TV!" They ignored me, so, rolling my eyes, I threw a pillow at them. It hit Kendall on the back of his head. That got their attention.
"Ow!" Kendall said, overreacting. At least he finally turned around.
"It was a pillow! Get over it!" I told him as the four of them crowded around me. "You guys are on the news!" As I turned back to the TV, I noticed that the news had changed and was now forecasting the weather. "Well, you were."
Kendall laughed and tossed a pillow at me, which I caught.
"How did I look?" James asked, taking out his lucky comb and combing his already perfect hair.
As I looked up into his eyes, I said, "Perfect." I smiled. Then I realized that the other guys were right there with us and that I was probably smiling like an idiot, so I tried to change my facial expression to one of indifference. I'm not quite sure if I pulled it off, but I looked at Kendall and he was giving me a weird look, so I guess not that well.
I smiled at him and tried to laugh it off. I decided to change the topic. "So," I started. "Are you excited for the concert?"
"Definitely!" Carlos said pumping his fist in the air.
Logan said, "Of course!"
"Actually," Kendall said, after glancing at the clock, "We should probably head down to the studio, now. Gustavo wants us there for a last minute rehearsal." He stood up, but bent down to ruffle my hair. "Bye Kay." I stuck my tongue out at him as Carlos and Logan got up and left.
James stood up, too, but he turned to face me after the others had left. "Bye, Ladybug." He said smiling. Then he pulled me into a quick kiss.
"Bye, James." I said breathlessly, after we broke apart.
"Are you coming, James?" Carlos asked as he opened the door and entered the apartment. He froze in the doorway- his mouth in a perfect 'O'. James was still holding me in his arms. Boy, were we bad at this whole secret relationship thing; first, Katie, and now Carlos.
Carlos pointed at me and then at James. Then he pointed between us faster, as if silently asking if we were together. James kissed me softly on the lips once more and then followed Carlos to the door. He paused just before leaving. He turned around and winked at me, then left the apartment.
I collapsed on the couch and couldn't stop smiling.
That's when my mom walked through the front door. "Hey Kayla, I just dropped Katie off at a friend's house. What are you so happy about?" She asked me.
I shrugged. "I'm just really excited for the concert this afternoon." I said, unconvincingly. She shook her head, and I knew she didn't believe me. Thankfully, she didn't push me for a real answer. I turned my attention back to the television, but I was too happy and my mind was too distracted to really pay any attention to it.
After about half an hour of attempting to watch television I decided to go explore the Palm Woods a little bit. I hadn't really had time to explore since I'd gotten to LA because the boys had kept me busy. I had time to kill before the concert, so I quickly told my mom where I was going and headed to the lobby.
When I exited the elevator I slowly surveyed the lobby for something to do. I saw people lounging in chairs reading magazines and listening to music, and I saw, who I assumed was, Mr. Bitters, from my brother's description of him. I started to head toward the pool when this girl came out of nowhere and slapped me in the face.
Taken aback I asked, "Excuse me?"
"How could you!" She screamed. "I loved him and you had to go and steal him away from me! You made him think you were oh so innocent with that cute little dress and that shy little smile. Well it won't work on me!"
"Sorry?" I asked confused, sure that she had me mistaken for someone else.
"Oh, you must be new." She said in a completely different tone- more friendly. "I'm Camille." She extended her hand out to me.
I hesitantly shook it and gave a weak smile. "I'm Kayla."
"Oh! You're Kendall's sister! I should have known!" She then pulled me into an unexpected hug.
"You know my brother?" I asked, and then I thought, Well duh, he is famous, now!
"Yeah I'm good friends with him, James, and Carlos, and I dated Logan for a while." She said.
I wasn't sure how to respond to that, but luckily I didn't have to worry because Camille started up again. "Logan and I have had this on again off again relationship going on for about the past year. Anyway, welcome to the Palm Woods!"
So, what did you think? I'll try to update within the week! PLEASE REVIEW! Hahaha :)
