Disclaimer: I don't own BTR
Got another update out! I really like the end of this chapter, and as I was writing it, I couldn't get Shot in the Dark out of my head, so I added it in.
In this chapter...Songs, Ethan, and Trett angst (Yes, even near the end of the story, I managed to add some angst)
Enjoy :)
Chapter 33: Carlos POV
…Cover up my eyes and just stop pacing, take a shot in the dark to be where you are!
I promise you I'm gonna be there, I wanna be there, no matter what happens, no matter how tragic.
Because the clock is ticking, the world is spinning, our lives are passing us by!
Cause I don't wanna watch the world keep changing, when I'm not with you my heart keeps shaking, cover up my eyes and just stop pacing, take a shot in the dark, to be where you are; Take a shot in the dark!
The song ended and I smiled at Logan, who was smiling back, despite his back pain. I wonder why we never finished this song before…
"Dogs, that was great!" Gustavo complimented. "But Carlos and Logan, I want you to rerecord your snippet in the bridge, and pour your emotion in it…Look at each other if you have to."
I nodded and the music started back up. I looked at Logan who was giving me an encouraging smile. When the time came, I sung to him, causing me to pour every emotion into the few words. It was short, but it was still meaningful.
"I promise you I'm gonna' be there, I wanna be there, no matter what happens, no matter how tragic," I sung.
"Because the clock is ticking, the world is spinning, our lives are passing us by-y-y-y!" He sung back, smiling.
The music ended again and even Gustavo was smiling.
"That was much better," he commented. "Alright dogs, we're done for the day."
He got up and left the recording room. There goes the 10th song we've recorded. We have many more to write and record before we come up with a final fifteen that will be on our album. The four of us left the booth, and I took Ethan from Kelly's arms and bounced the almost 4 month old cuteness in my arms.
"Ready to go home?" I asked him, as if he could respond.
He responded with a whimper. He was probably hungry.
"Logie, I'm going to make Ethan a bottle," I said.
He took Ethan from my arms, and we all left the room. I headed to the lounge to grab some formula (it took a lot to get Gustavo to allow it to be here). I made up the formula, ensuring it was just perfect before handing Logan the bottle, who began to feed Ethan.
I'm not going to lie; a pregnant person feeding a baby looked a bit funny to me. It was like Ethan was being balanced on Logan's stomach, it looked special; Logan was still sexy and Ethan was still cute though.
"So, I don't really want to go home yet," James said.
"Neither do I," Kendall said.
"I do," Logan sighed. "I want to take a nap."
"Well, maybe we can do something later then," Kendall suggested.
"Yeah that would be nice," Logan nodded his head.
My phone started ringing and I pulled it out of my pocket to see it was Trevor. I pressed the talk button on my touch screen and put the phone to my ear.
"Hello?"
Carlos, are you all doing anything tonight?
"Well later we were going to go out…"
Cancel that, and we can all go out together!
"What's the occasion? You sound really excited," I laughed
Can't tell you, but all of you need to meet Jett and I at Melisse tonight at 6.
"We have to dress up don't we?"
Yup, and tell Logan he has to come, he won't want to miss it. Put me on speaker for a second.
I pressed the button.
"Okay, you're on," I said.
Logan?
"Yeah?" he looked up confused.
No pregnancy excuses mister!
"Uh…"
See you tonight!
And with that, he hung up the phone. Kendall, James, and Logie were looking at me, very confused.
"Tonight, Trevor wants the four of us to meet him at Melisse tonight at 6…something special. Said yes we have to dress up and that Logan can't get out of it, or would want to miss it anyway," I explained.
"What do you think it's for?" James asked.
"He's proposing," Kendall said.
"You really think so?" I asked.
"Yeah, I mean you could hear the excitement in his voice."
"Well, I see why it's important now," I said. "I just don't want to dress up."
"I refuse to dress up!" Logan said. "Do you see my belly!"
"Logan stop yelling, you're going to scare Ethan," I said.
Kendall took him from Logan and moved a bit away so Logan can yell some more…Was I like this when I was pregnant?
"I'm wearing sweats!" Logan announced.
"Logan, you can't wear sweats to a restaurant like that," James said.
"Well, then I'm not going," he crossed his arms over his chest.
"I hate you for making me wear this," Logan huffed.
"Love you too," I smiled as I buckled Ethan into the back.
He glared at me as I got into the driver's seat and I just laughed. I started the car up and drove towards the restaurant, which was in the most exclusive part of town. I pulled up to the front, and got Ethan out of the car, before going around and helping Logan out of the car.
Even Ethan was wearing a little suit, and he looked absolutely adorable. The valet took my car and drove off to park it. Logan and I headed inside.
"We're on the reservation for Jackson," I said.
He checked his computer then he nodded.
"Right this way sirs," he led the way.
It looked so nice in here. It was a sophisticated, yet romantic atmosphere. Ethan seemed to enjoy it because I could hear him making noises from his stroller. He seems to do that when he's excited. He led us to a table where Trevor, Jett, Kendall, James, and Erika were already sitting.
"I guess we're the last ones here," I chuckled and took a seat next to Kendall.
Logan positioned Ethan's stroller between the two of us and sat down. The wait came by and asked Logan and I for our drink orders. We gave it to him and he went off to go collect our drinks.
"So, this is pretty nice for a hang night," Kendall commented.
"Yeah, well just wanted to do something special," Trevor smiled. "This is all on me by the way."
"You sure?" I asked.
"Yeah, I don't want to forget this night," he said.
I backed off and waited for our drinks to get there. When he set them down, I took a sip. I tried not to make a noise of delight since I was in a fancy restaurant and had to act proper, but I could hardly refrain.
"Carlos looks like he wants to explode," Jett commented.
"The man child is kicking back in," James laughed.
"Whatever, you're just jealous because you aren't the adorable one," I chuckled.
"No, but I am the flawless one," James did his little hand motion thingy with the fingers.
I rolled my eyes as the waiter came back and took our food orders. Most of us just ordered spaghetti. I got a whiff of Logan's cologne and my mouth watered…he smelled so sexy.
"You know, that cologne that you're wearing is turning me on," I whispered in his ear.
"Carlos…" he blushed.
"It's true," I smirked.
He blushed redder and I decided to stop because I didn't want him to get aroused and we not be able to do something about it. The rest of the dinner flew by. I don't want to bore you with the details of what happened, so let's skip to after we finished eating.
"So, I never heard, how was visiting Dak?" James asked.
Trevor and I don't really like this topic.
"How have you not heard about it?" Jett asked.
"Because the last time I asked, you two were busy, and I forgot after that," James said.
"It was nice," Logan said.
"Dak and Erika bonded," Jett added.
I looked over at Trevor who looked conflicted about something. He looked upset, but he also looked like he didn't want to say anything.
"So, are you going to keep visiting him now?"
"No," Trevor answered before Jett could speak.
"…Possibly," Jett fixed Trevor's answer.
Trevor raised an eyebrow…not this again.
"Is there really any reason to visit him?" Trevor gave a humorless chuckle.
"Yes, he is my daughter's father," Jett shot him a warning look.
You could tell they've had this discussion before…many times. I think that Trevor thinks that Jett still has feelings for Dak. Also Trevor treats Erika like his own and is probably a little protective over her…Trevor called him out on it, Jett denied it, Trevor didn't believe it and here we go, them probably having this argument for the 69th time.
"He can't be there for her, I can," he pointed to himself.
"Come on Trevor!" Jett was starting to raise his voice. "All I'm doing is giving him the chance, it's not like he can get custody of her or something. He's trying to change and Logan and I are happy to help, especially if he is passionate about it."
"He's just playing you!" Trevor shot back.
"…Says the one who didn't see the look of love in his eyes when he held Erika…you haven't even met him!"
"I can see it! All he wants to do is lure you in so you can help him get back out," Trev smirked.
Jett glared at him before slapping him clear across the face.
"Asshole…" Jett got out of the seat and left the restaurant with Erika in tow.
Trevor looked angry. He got up and left too.
"What just happened?" Kendall asked.
"Not sure, we need to talk to them," Logan said. "I refuse to believe that I wore this suit for no reason."
"I got Trevor," I began to leave my seat.
"I got Jett," James followed me.
We walked outside and Jett was walking down the sidewalk, Trevor following and calling for him, who refused to turn around. James and I ran after them. Jett turned a corner, and I stopped Trevor before he could turn the corner, James running passed us to go after Jett.
"Trevor," I grabbed his shoulders. "Calm down!"
"You don't understand," he was crying. "I love him, but how am I supposed to go through the pain of him talking about Dak and how he's going to be in our lives?"
"Trev, firstly you have to trust him," I said. "Yes, he may be giving Dak another chance, but anyone can tell that he's in love with you, way stronger than any kind of connection that he and Dak may have."
"I don't want Erika and Jett to leave me," he whispered with red eyes.
"And they won't. Dak can't do anything while he's in prison, and he's going to be there for 14 years. Erika loves you, and when she's old enough to speak, she going to call you Dad."
"How can you be so sure?" he finally met my eyes.
"Because Dak, I'm in the same boat, all of us are. Logan is due in a month and Logan wants Dak to meet her. Of course, Kendall and James don't like the idea, I don't either, but I trust Logan because he's proved to me time and time again that he's here to stay by me and Ethan's side. It took all the things we went through in the past year for me to realize that, and it may take some troubles for the two of you, but just know, Jett's not going anywhere…I promise," I smiled.
Trevor finally smiled.
"Thanks Carlos," he wiped his eyes. "You're right."
"Of course I am, now let's go find James and Jett so you two can apologize to each other."
"Okay, but I don't think I'll propose tonight, you know in case he's still a bit mad," Trevor said.
"I understand, but make him yours soon," I smiled.
He smiled back and we ventured off to go find them.
