"Ahem." I heard someone clear their throat and I took my sunglasses off my face. I was currently sitting at the Palmwood's pool with my new friend Camille. I looked up to see Carlos standing there with a sheepish grin on his face.
"Yeah Carlos? What do you need?" I asked him. Ever since I came back to see my dad, I actually moved in with Kendall's family. His mother offered to let me stay in Katie's room, and after begging my father for hours, he agreed.
"We have practice and I wanted to know if you wanted to come hear our beautiful voices!" He said, scratching the back of his head.
I looked at Camille and Jo, who nodded their heads at me."Go on! Just be sure to text me!" Came her response. I grabbed my bag and towel and stood up.
"I don't feel like changing.I'll just go in my bathing suit!" I told Carlos. He looked at me for a minute before blushing and looking away. "T-that's fine, I guess."
I grinned and threw my arm around his shoulder as we starting walking. We found the boys standing by the door, waiting for us.
"Are you seriously going to go dressed like that?" James asked me. Other than Carlos, out of all the boys I was closest to James. I know he seems self-absorbed, but he's really sweet, and I love him like a big brother.
I gave a big smile."Yeppers! I was to lazy to change!" He sighed and shrugged out of his blue hoodie. He handed it to me and gave me a look.I threw it on and looked down at myself. The hoodie was so long on me that it was really close to my knees!
"Thanks James. My dad probably would say something about me just being in my bathing suit." I sighed, imagining my dad's reaction. Carlos gave James a look that I didn't quite understand.
When we finally got to Rocque Records, I immediatly looked for Kelly. "Kelly! Kelly!" I squealed when I found her, and tackled her in a hug. "I take it you missed me?" She asked, letting out a laugh.
"Yess! I haven't seen you for...TWO whole days! That's a long time!" She laughed again. Logan put his hand on my shoulder. "Come on! We have to go see your dad."
I knew that Logan used to have a crush on me, but when I informed all the boys about my crush on Carlos, he totally understood. Then he told me about his developing crush on Camille. Whenever we needed help on crushes we always went to each other.
Then there was Kendall. Kendall was like another big brother to me. He was always there to comfort me and support me when I needed it. He overheard me singing one day, and said that I needed to sing for my dad and become a singer. And honestly, I actually thought about it.
"Hey Kendall? Do you think my dad would let me sing for him today? Or should I just wait?" I asked, shuffling my feet nervously. I put a hand on my shoulder. "I think you should sing for him today. And we'll be here for support!" He said shooting me a smile that would make any girl weak in the knees. Even me.
I gulped and walked into my dad's office. I inhaled sharply. " Dad..I wanna be a singer. I want to sing for you and if you like it, I want you to be my producer. Please?" I bit my lip and looked at Carlos. He reached out a took my hand, giving it a gentle squeeze.
He looked at me for a minute. " Are you sure this is what you want?" I nodded without hesitation. "Then let's go to the recording studio."
On the way to the recording studio, I started to feel the pressure. "Carlos..I don't think I can do this!" I moaned, grabbing onto his arm. He shot me a reassuring look. "You'll do just fine! I'm sure of it. I have faith in you!" That made me blush insanely.
I took a seat in the booth by myself, while Dad,Kendall,James,Carlos,Logan and Kelly were watching. "Whenever your ready." My Dad said, breaking the silence. I took a deep breath and started to sing.
"I don't think that passenger seat
Has ever looked this good to me
He tells me about his night
And I count the colors in his eyes
He'll never fall in love he swears
As he runs his fingers through his hair
I'm laughing cause I hope he's wrong
I don't think it ever crossed his mind
He tells a joke I fake a smile
That I know all his favorite songs
And..
I could tell you his favorite color's green
He loves to argue, born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful, he has his father's eyes
And if you asked me if I love him,
I'd lie
He looks around the room
Innocently overlooks the truth
Shouldn't a light go on?
Doesn't he know that I've had him memorized for so long?
He sees everything black and white
Never let nobody see him cry
I don't let nobody see me wishing he was mine
He stands there then walks away
My god if I could only say
I'm holding every breath for you...
He'd never tell you but he can play guitar
I think he can see through everything
But my heart
First thought when I wake up is
My god he's beautiful
So I put on my make up
And pray for a miracle
Yes I could tell you his favorite color's green
He loves to argue oh and it kills me
His sisters beautiful he has his father's eyes
And if you asked me if I love him
If you asked me if I love him
I'd lie.."
I let out a breath that I didn't realize I was holding. "Uhm..How was that?"
Silence...
"Was I that bad?" I asked getting worried. Logan was the one that broke the silence. " .AMAZING!" That seemed to snap everyone out of their trances. My dad shushed everyone before speaking.
"That WAS amazing! And I'd be proud to be your producer!" I let out a squeal and started jumping up and down. Carlos ran into the booth with me and wrapped his arms around my waist. He picked me up and spun me around a few times before lowering me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my face into the crook of his neck.
The rest of the boys piled into the booth with me and hugged me as well. My eyes started to well over as I hugged James and Kendall. I let go of the boys and went to hug my Dad and Kelly.
"I have to text Camille! She's gonna be SO excited!" I squealed, running out of the room.
~Carlos's POV~
I watched as Alex left the room. I heard her squeal a few more times before I turned my attention to the guys. "So when are you gonna tell her dude?" Kendall asked.
"I'm just..waiting for the right time. And besides! I don't think she'll like me anyway. I mean, I've never even had a girlfriend!" I reminded the boys.
"So? And you should still tell her. She deserves to know!" Logan encouraged me. For some reason, James was silent.
"Are..are you okay James?" I asked him. He flinched. "Y-yeah..I'm fine. Just thinking.."
For some reason I didn't understand,I just couldn't believe him. And from the looks on the other guy's faces, they didn't either. We were all silent for a moment before Alex came bursting back in.
"She was so excited! She wants me to stay with her tonight!" She said, her face alight with excitement.
I took her into my arms again and she took my helmet off my head. She put it on her head, "I can't believe it!" James gave her a smile, "So what do you wanna do know?"
She thought for a minute. " I wanna..Go swimming!" She then ran out of the booth.
~Alex's POV~
When we got to the pool, I texted Camille. (Alex's text messages are underlined and Camille's are in italics.)
'Camille! I'm back! Come to the pool! We're all down here,including Logan(; '
I got a message back almost immediatly.
'Haha. Very funny. And I'm on my way! :D '
I ripped off James' hoodie and set it on a chair. I was bouncing up and down on the balls of my feet, anxiously waiting for Camille. The guys started laughing at me until Camille came out to the pool area.
"CAMILLE!" I tackled her in a hug. "Alex,I'm so proud of you!" She squealed,hugging me we pulled away she raised an eyebrow.
"What? What's wrong?" I asked. She reached her hand out and tapped Carlos's helmet twice."Have you told him?"
I sighed. "No I'm going to! Soon!" I announced,sending her a wink.
I noticed she was wearing her bathing suit, so I pulled her to the pool before dragging her in with both screamed when we realized how cold the water was.
"Carlos,how do you swim with this helmet on? It's so..heavy!" He laughed. " I'm just good like that!"
We laughed and joked around until the pool was closed. When the pool was closed I gave Carlos his helmet back and tried giving James his hoodie back.
"No, I want you to keep it. It could be your good luck charm!" He smiled and laughed. I wrapped my arms around him. "James, that's so sweet!" When I pulled away I saw his cheeks were a light pink. I thought it was from all the laughing we did,so I didn't think much of it.
"Piggy-back ride to Camille's apartment?" James offered. I nodded and he bent down so I could on his back.I jumped on his back and his arms wrapped around my legs so I wouldn't laughed all the way to Camille's apartment and I knocked on the door.
"Camille! Your bestest friend is here!" I called out. "Yeah! And Alex is here too!" James called out.
I scoffed before sliding down his back.I stuck my toungue out at him. "Just go back to your apartment!" He laughed and left.I smiled again and then Camille opened the door.
