We all decided to hang out at Logan's house, and Carlos called the other two guys, telling them to meet us there. Well this works out well: 4 guys, 4 girls. We pulled into the driveway and walked through his front door. I walked past the kitchen and smiled, remembering that date.
"Make yourselves comfortable. Mi casa es su casa," Logan stated, "I need to talk to Olivia real quick."
He took my hand, and led me upstairs. Krysta, Jillian, and Taylor all gave me confused looks, and I shrugged.
He led me to the room with the staircase, which had an amazing view of the city.
"Wassa matter?" I asked.
"Nothing," he replied, smiling.
"What?"
He just smiled.
"Seriously Logan. Tell me."
"Well, you know how you been looking for a record deal and all?"
"Yeah..."
"I think I found something. You have to go in tomorrow morning, to record a demo."
"Logan! Thank you thank you thank you!" I shrieked.
I hugged him, and he kissed me. He surpised me by opening his mouth slightly. I did the same, and pressed forward with passion. We stayed like that, pushing forward with all the passion we had, until there was a knock on the door. We reluctantly broke away and walked to the door.
"Oh, ok good. You're both still wearing pants," Taylor joked.
"Oh shut up!" I laughed.
"You guys have been up here for like 15 minutes," she stated.
"Calm down, we're going."
The three of us walked downstairs, and Taylor repeated herself.
"It's ok, they were wearing pants when I found them!"
I punched her shoulder, but smiled. The other five laughed at her remark, but Kendall looked a little uncomfortable. He really needs to move on... I love him as a friend, like a bro, ya know? Nothing more. I flashed him a quick smile, to let him know he should just chill. Hey wait, when'd they get here! And there was James, on the couch with Jillian... Carlos, with Krysta on one side and Taylor on the other... Damn! Things move FAST in this town!
"Hey, remember that one time I came over, and we had the ice cream thing?" I whispered to Logan.
He nodded.
"I say we do that again."
He smiled, and took my hand, leading me into the kitchen. I plugged my iPhone into the stereo, and called for the rest of the group. They all piled into the kitchen, looking confused. I pressed shuffle on my iPhone, and pulled ice cream out of the freezer, while Logan got toppings from the fridge.
He pulled bowls out of the cabinets, and set them on the counter.
"Well? Whatcha waitin for?" I asked.
We all attacked the ice cream with spoons, and made gigantic sundaes, dancing around the kitchen. "Show Me" played, and I stepped into the middle of the kitchen, hoping Logan'd get my hint. He was still perfecting his sundae, and wasn't moving.
"No way," I stated, in time with the music.
I pulled him in where the music said, We danced, swaying with the song, and I completely forgot we were in his kitchen, making ice cream with friends. I forgot there were people around. The song ended, and they all clapped. I blushed.
"That was awesome! Did you plan that?" Krysta asked.
"Yeah, dude. Is THAT why you were upstairs forever?"Jillian added.
"Nope. That was spontaneous. 100% on the spot," I answered.
"Nice!" Taylor commented.
Logan and I grinned.
Then James asked what everyone was thinking.
"So what took you so long upstairs?"
"Oh, nothing," I answered.
"Nothing...important to you people," Logan added.
They all gave us suspicious looks.
"Well, we made ice cream for a reason!" Logan exclaimed.
I grabbed my spoon, and started eating my ice cream. I looked at the bowl of cherries on the counter. I picked one up and threw it at Taylor.
"What the hell dude?" she asked, throwing it back at me. I grinned and threw it at Kendall. He laughed and threw another at Carlos. Carlos threw one at James, who threw one at Logan. Before I knew it, we were having a full-fledged food fight. We were throwing toppings at each other, like a group of friends who have known each other forever, not a group of friends who have known each other anywhere between 5 days to half an hour. After about half an hour, we finally stopped. I looked around at my friends, who had red stains on their clothes and sprinkles in their hair. Logan looked over at me and kissed me.
"Sweet!" he joked.
"That was very punny," I laughed.
He grinned.
"No, that's ok guys. We WANT to see your mushy stuff... Wait... That sounded really wrong," Jillian teased.
"Again, jealous much? And really dude? That's nasty!" I laughed.
Everyone cracked up.
"So what now?" Carlos asked.
"I dunno. Whadda you guys wanna do?" I asked the group.
"We could watch a movie..." Taylor suggested.
"Sounds good to me! You guys?" I smiled.
Everyone nodded.
"Great! I'll go pick it out," I stated, starting to walk toward Logan's movie collection in the living room.
"Whoawhoawhoa. Why do YOU get to pick it out?" Krysta challenged me.
"Because... Because I can!"
"I'll pick it out with you, in case you pick out a chick flick or something," Logan stated.
"Oh, so you have chick flicks?" I teased.
He laughed. We went into the living room, and I went through his movie shelves.
"Hmmm... OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS MOVIE!" I exclaimed.
"Which one?" he asked.
"The Lion King!"
"You were right. You ARE a kid on the inside! Maybe you're too young for me."
"I saw a video on YouTube, and Carlos said you recently turned 4!"
"Damn!"
"We're watching The Lion King."
"How bout something else? We'll save that for a you-and-me day."
"Well, watcha got in mind?"
"A horror movie."
"I'm not really that big on horror movies. I'm a huge chicken."
"And that's why I'm here."
I smiled.
"Guys! We're watching The Poltergeist!" he called.
They came into the living room, and the girls looked panicked. The guys were grinning. James had his eyes on Jillian. Taylor and Krysta were looking at Carlos hopefully. We all plopped down on the couch in this order: Kendall, Logan, me, Krysta, Carlos, Taylor, Jillian, James. Logan put the DVD in and pressed play.
I spent the whole movie screaming and hiding behind Logan's shoulder. I don't even know what the others did, but I heard Kendall yelling "Don't go in there!" Finally, the movie ended.
"There's two more Poltergeist movies, if ya wanna watch 'em!" Logan stated.
I just glared at him.
"They're just movies!" he protested.
"And you're JUST a guy," I teased.
"Don't even go there."
I got up and walked outside, staying right outside his door. I couldn't tell that it was raining from inside, but I decided to run out in the rain. Logan stepped outside, and, seeing me, laughed and joined me, leaving the door open. The others joined us, running around and dancing like 5-year-olds. I jumped at Logan, pinning him on the wet lawn. He looked up at me, smiling. I kissed him, completely blocking out everyone and everything else. The kiss lasted about a minute, and I rolled off and plopped down next to him, letting the rain wash over my face.
We stayed outside for hours, and when we finally decided to go inside, we ordered a pizza and laid out on towels on the floor, talking and laughing. The pizza came, and we paid him and ate on the towels. We just hung out for hours. Before we knew it, it was midnight.
"Holy shit! Where does the time go?" I exclaimed.
"I'd say you can crash here, but you have... Somewhere to go tomorrow morning," Logan stated.
We again got suspicious looks. Logan and I just shook our heads.
"I'll drive. Krysta, Taylor, Jill. We gotta go. Night guys!" I said.
I kissed Logan (a quick goodnight kiss), and stood up. Krysta, Taylor, and Jillian all stood up, and we walked outside. We all just kinda stood there. I forgot I didn't have my car!
"Aww dammit!" I yelled.
"Change of plans. I'm driving," James said, Kendall by his side. "Get in my car."
Jillian looked like she was about to pass out. Taylor grabbed her arm, and we piled into the back of James' car, and he and Kendall sat up front. He dropped Taylor and Jillian off first. Jillian walked past the drivers' side, and James rolled down the window, handing her a piece of paper. The smile on her face was priceless.
"What'd you do?" I asked when he started driving again.
"Just gave her my number. She's really cool. I wanna get to know her," he answered.
I smiled, picturing James and Jill going out. Yup! Totally see it.
"Kendall, you've been quiet... What's up?" I asked.
"Nothing. Just tired," he said after a pause.
I knew there was more to it than that, but I let it go. It wasn't worth arguing over. We pulled into the condo parking lot.
"Here ya go! See you tomorrow?" James asked.
"I dunno. Probably," I answered, "Thanks for driving us, by the way."
"No problem. Give me a call if you need anything."
"Will do. See ya later guys!"
Krysta and I walked up to our condo, and she went directly to sleep. I had a little trouble falling asleep. I have a shot at a record deal! I could barely contain my excitement. Eventually, somehow, I drifted off to sleep.
