A/N: I feel so bad for not updating in so long. I'm actually still in school, but finals are this week so once summer starts, I'll finish this story up. I'm also working on the sequel for my other story Love is a Riddle. Hopefully with school ending, I'll be able to start publishing it. Anyway, double update because I feel bad! Thank you so much to every single person who reads this. Writing these is something no one really knows I do, so it's nice to know it's appreciated.
Chapter 26
"Hey boys. Am I interrupting?" June asked as she walked into the studio. Everyone turned to her.
"No not really, we were about to record the last song for the album. What do you want?" Gustavo asked.
"Well, I was all bored at home, so I did some baking." June said and pulled the plate out from behind her. "And I made all of you some Milky Way cookies. My grandma's recipe. To celebrate you finishing." June said with a smile. James ran out of the studio, followed by the rest of the boys.
"Have I ever told you I love you?" James asked as he gave June a quick peck. "These are the best cookies ever. You're grandma was the best cook ever." James said as he took one.
"Yes, I love you too, and I know." June said. She walked around the room and gave everyone one.
"Oh my gosh June! These are amazing!" Gustavo said and everyone let out satisfied groans. June laughed.
"Thank you." June said.
"I'm pretty sure I have the best girlfriend ever." James said as he gave June another quick kiss.
"I agree." June and Carlos said at the same time. Everyone looked at Carlos oddly.
"What? I wish I had a girlfriend that made me cookies." Carlos said. Everyone just laughed.
"So we'll finish this last song, and then we can eat the rest of the cookies." Gustavo said. The boys went back in the studio and started to sing the song, while June danced a little to the music. They finished and Gustavo dragged the finished copy onto the hard drive.
"Now we are finished, we just have to bring this hard drive to the CD place and they will make it." Gustavo said. They walked into main room, June with her plate of cookies, and everyone stopped, except June. They saw a man dressed up in a hawk costume.
"Oh uh hi!" June said, since none of the other boys were talking. "Want a cookie?" June said as she stepped forward and held her plate out.
"Oh sure! Thank you!" The man started to reach for one, but Kendall took the plate from her and James pulled her back.
"What's wrong?" June asked.
"That's Hawk! The guy who kidnapped us before our concert!" James said. June nodded.
"What are you doing here Hawk? I thought you were still in prison." Kendall said.
"Well, I got an early bail. In prison I had a lot of time to think and I made costumes." Hawk said as two goons came out. "Caw!"
"This man is crazy." June said to James.
"We know." James said back.
"You know what? I don't want to deal with these weird, psycho people and your problems so call me when this is over." June said. She took one cookie, gave James a quick kiss and left.
June was at the pool, enjoying the sun. An hour after she left the boys she got a call. She fished her phone out of the bag and looked at the number, it wasn't one she knew. She answered it anyway.
"Hello?" June said.
"Hey baby!" James said.
"Who's phone are you calling off of?" June asked.
"About that, you know I love you." James said.
"What did you do?" June asked as she sat up straight.
"Well Hawk took our hard drive, so we went to his office and took it back, but he called the cops on us and he framed us, so we are in jail now." James said.
"What!" June yelled.
"Yeah, can you come bail us out? Pretty please?" James begged. June sighed.
"Yeah. I have to go bail my criminal boyfriend, and his criminal friends out of jail. Fantastic. I'll be there in 10." June said.
"Thank you so much June." James said and hung up. June changed back into real clothes and drove down to the county jail. She walked up to the front desk.
"Um hi." June said. The girl looked up.
"How can I help you?" The girl asked in a flat voice.
"I need to bail out my 6 retarded friends." June said.
"Names." The lady said.
"James Diamond, Logan Mitchell, Kendal Knight, Carlos Garcia, Gustavo Rocque and Kelly Wainright." June listed off. The lady looked them up.
"Alright, that will be a 300 dollar fee each." The lady said.
"1,800 dollars!" June exclaimed.
"Congratulations. You can add." The lady said. June rolled her eyes and took out her debt card and handed it to the lady. The lady swiped it and June typed in her pin. A cop came by and took her to the jail area.
"Okay, you're free to go." The man said as he unlocked the door. Everyone looked up and sighed out of relief. They all came out and James hugged June and spun her around.
"Thank you June." James said as he set her down and tried to kiss her, but she stopped him.
"Don't thank me yet." June said. "I'm out 1,800 for paying your bail. That was like all my money. I need it back. Now." June demanded. Everyone turned to Gustavo.
"Kelly, write her a check." Gustavo said. Kelly scribbled one out and gave it to June.
"Thank you." June said. She turned to James.
"Now. As for you. You know I don't like bad boys and I think being a criminal qualifies as a bad boy. So it's going to cost you." June said.
"What do you want?" James asked.
"I don't know. Surprise me. But don't buy me anything." June said. "Now. I have to cash this check. See you later." June said. She waved at everyone and left.
June woke up the next morning, happy about the weekend. She took a shower and got dressed in some casual clothes. She was just about to do her hair when she heard a knock on the door. She walked over and answered it to see James.
"Your hair is wet." James said.
"I know, I just got out of the shower." June said.
"Oh okay." James said and walked inside. He sat down on the couch.
"Is that all you wanted to say?" June asked.
"Oh right!" James said. June rolled her eyes. "I'm making yesterday up to you. I have a whole day planned."
"Really?" June asked, happily surprised.
"Yup. I'll tell you as we go. Now get ready and meet me at our room." James said.
"Wait, what should I wear and do I need to bring anything?" June asked.
"Wear a bathing suit, and something over it. And bring a change of clothes." James said.
"Anything else I need to bring?" June asked.
"A towel, sunglasses, that kind of stuff. Oh and your beautiful smile." James said as he put his hand on her cheek. June smiled and laughed.
"You're so corny. I'll be over in 10." June said as she shut the door behind him. She went back to her bathroom and dried her hair. She put it up in a ponytail and did her make-up, waterproof of course. She put on her yellow bikini and a loose blue beach dress over top. She put a pair of jean shorts, underwear, a bra, and tank top in a bag, along with her sunscreen, and a towel. She slung that over her shoulder, slipped on some flip flops and her shades. She grabbed her phone and walked down the hall and knocked on the door.
"Hey, I'm ready." June said when James opened the door.
"Okay sweet." James said, he turned back to the boys. "I'm leaving! I'll be back later." He turned back to June and grabbed his towel. "Will you put this in your bag?"
June sighed and took it and stuffed it in there. "You're lucky I have a big bag."
"I know." James said and kissed her. He took her hand and they walked downstairs and got in the Big Time Rush mobile.
"So where are we going?" June asked.
"Well, first we are going down to that little deli you like so that we can pick up lunch, because we aren't going to be around." James said.
"Okay sounds good." June said. They drove down the street and walked into the deli and got an Italian sub, a couple slices of pizza, and a bottle of Mountain Dew. They put it all in a little box and put in the back.
"Now we are going down to Marina Del Ray where I rented…" James said and then tapped his steering wheel like a drum roll. "A boat! That we get to use all day."
"Oh James!" June exclaimed. She grabbed his hand as kissed his cheek. "Thank you so much! I've always want to do that!"
"I know, that's why I did it." James said. They drove to the marina and James talked to the guy at the rental place and he walked them out to the boat.
"Alright, here she is." The gruff man said once they reached the boat. It was a pontoon. There was the little gated area, a little more than half of it covered by an awning. The part that was covered had a wrap around couch and a chair behind the controls. There was also a little table in the middle. There were 2 more chairs in the sun. James took the keys from the guy and the box with the food. He jumped onto the pontoon and set the stuff down. June set her bag on the couch and took James' hand as she jumped onto the boat.
"Okay, pull off the front rope." James instructed. June walked over to the front of the boat and pulled the rope off the hook. James did the same on the back and pulled the boat out. He started to go off along the shore, gaining a little speed.
"James, you are the best boyfriend ever." June said as she walked up and kissed his cheek. She slipped her soft, little fingers into his rough, available hand.
"I know." James said as he took a brief glance at her. After a short distance when they weren't too far out, James dropped the engine. He set down their towels in the sun. They pulled out the lunch and sat down.
"This is like the best thing ever." June said as she ate a piece of pizza.
"I know! I'm actually really happy you made me do something for you. I'm having fun." James said. June poured two glasses of Mountain Dew.
"Has Gustavo said anything to you about our relationship?" June asked. James looked at her confused.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"Like did he say anything about you being famous so you have to keep our relationship secret?" June asked. James shook his head.
"Nah. I think we're already pretty public with it." James said.
"Have you got any fans that have said anything?" June asked as she took a sip of her drink. James opened up his phone and started to look through his Scuttlebug.
"Let's find out." James said. He motioned for June to come next to him. He took a picture with both of them smiling, and added the caption "Day out on the water with my lovely girlfriend junecooper" and sent it.
"So we'll see what happens?" June asked. James nodded. June nodded and sat back down by her food. A couple seconds later her phone went off. She reached for it.
"Wow I have a lot of mentions." June said.
"Yeah, you might want to turn off notifications." James said. June did so and went back to look through her mentions.
"Most of them are like 'Omg you're dating James Diamond?' and then if it's not that it says that 'James deserves better' or something like that." June said.
"Yeah, mine are half saying that they are happy for us and think that your pretty, which I agree with, and the other half say that you're stealing me." James read.
"Well I hope that doesn't get annoying." June said.
"Don't you worry your pretty little head." James said as he patted June's head. "I love the fans, but you're always first." James said as he leaned in and kissed her.
"Well I don't really care if I get some hate, I'm a big girl." June said when they broke away. "And as much as I would love to yell at them for hating, I won't."
"Thank you." James said and kissed her again.
"Life makes love work hard." June said with a shrug. They spent the rest of the day swimming and boating around the shore. When it started to get dark, they returned the boat and walked along the beach. James took her back up to her room after they got back.
"Thank you so much James. I love you." June said.
"I love you too." James said and kissed June goodbye.
