What a perfect day to update. My sister is going to her prom tonight and I'm stuck cleaning the house for her afterprom party -.-
Chapter 2 – You
"Pshhh." Carlos sounds softly poking Logan's head with the back of a pencil from behind a chair. "Pshh, Logie."
"What Carlos?" Logan grumps, a vein growing on his forehead as he reads the newest edition of Cell, the elite archive of medicinal journals. "I need to study for med school."
"But you promise to help." He pouts, drooping his brown eyes. "Remember Logie?" He purses his lips inching his way closer to his friend's face.
From such a close view, Logan can see all of Carlos' flawless details. His skin is spotless except for that one adorable birth spot below his prefect lips, the cute round button of a nose, and the eyes, the infectious café colored endless pools of pure innocence eyes. "Ok Carlos, where do you want to check first?" Logan smiles tossing the book down. Truthfully, who can say no to a face like that, he thinks.
"I don't know. Where do we find water?" Carlos shrugs his shoulder causing Logan raise a brow.
Are you serious Carlos? This is worst than forgetting your helmet has holes. "Umm, where do you take a shower?"
He claps his hands before gunning his finger at Logan. "The bathroom! You're so smart Logan." He adds pulling him to the locked door.
"Hey guys. I'm in the bathroom." James says from behind the door.
"Hurry up James! Logie and I have things to do in the bathroom."
"He means we need to get something." Logan clears up any misunderstanding. "And you have been in there since I started studying.
"That's it, move Logan!" Carlos yells impatiently as he pulls back, getting ready to dash at the unfortunate door.
CRASH! The bathroom door makes as Carlos breaks into the bathroom surprising the tall brunette.
"Hey Carlos! Don't you see me in the bathroom?" James yells staring at himself in his hand mirror.
Carlos ignores him as he flips everything in the bathroom inside out. Logan walks in and sighs at the mess he has to clean up later.
"Sorry James." Logan says sitting on the sink counter. "Carlos is really into the game and why are you in the bathroom with a hand mirror if there is a mirror right here?" He asks knocking on the glass panel behind him.
"That is because I need two mirrors to see ALL my good looks." James replies earning an eye roll from the tired nerd. "What is he doing?" he points to Carlos on the floor crawling behind the toilet with his mirror.
"I told you. Carlos is looking for the next clue." Logan sighs at the vain boy.
"Grr." Carlos sounds as he takes a seat on the edge of the bathtub. "I can't find the letter."
"Do you think I look better with bangs to the side or down?" James asks getting a kick in the shin from the other brunette.
"What?" He shrieks in pain. "I have to look good for Kendall at the prom."
"Or you can care about Carlos and help him find the next card." Logan grabs the mirror. "This is important to Carlos."
"No it's good Logie." Carlos says, sounding as if he gives up after searching only one place. "I will never be able to get a date with the pretty girl to the prom."
"Or a short, pale brunette." James adds getting another kick from the angry genius.
"Truthfully, I don't mind who is the mystery person is." Carlos says resting his head on his plopped elbow.
"You don't?"
He shakes his head smiling. "I think it's great someone cares so much about me to find out my favorite game and makes finding a date fun."
Logan smiles brightly to Carlos' comment, thinking about how innocently adorable Carlos is all the time.
"Beside, I think short, pale and brunette sounds like the perfect prom date." He adds making James smirk.
"Hey Carlos." Logan says before James can open his mouth. "Let's check the pool. I bet your next clue is there."
Carlos jumps ups. "That's right. That's why you'll get into med school, Logie." He says pulling Logan out the room.
James places his hand on Logan's shoulder before the shorter members leave. "He is one lucky guy, Logan." He whispers in his ear as he watches them exit the bathroom.
At the pool
"Who ever did this game must know I love the pool." Carlos exclaims shaking his wet head in the pool. "I should have thought of here in the beginning."
"I'm glad you're enjoying yourself." Logan says dipping his legs in the water sitting on the edge.
"Come on Logie. The water is fun." Carlos smirks gently splashing the water at him. He knows Logan hates swimming even though Logan knows how to. "The water is the right temperature and color."
"Nah, it's fine Carlos." Logan covers his face from the in coming sprays of water.
"Please Logie." Carlos grabbing both his hands, pouting his lips. "Come in the water with me."
Logan tries to mouth the word no, but just staring into his friend's shimmering eyes, he couldn't speak. Instead he chuckles and jumps into the Latino's arms, wrapping his around his neck. "Sorry Carlos. We are in the 10 feet section and I can't really… you know."
"I know." Carlos whispers back enveloping his around Logan's torso. "I don't mind holding you. I love helping you enjoy the water."
"Thanks Carlos. Hey I think I see something in the water." Logan says pointing to the middle. Carlos' eyes open widely and his lips form a crescent.
"I see it!" He shouts excitedly. "You have to swim down there with me, Logan." He turns facing his fear stricken friend.
"Carlos, I can't swim." Logan whines.
"Please Logan. You found the card. You should be the one that gets it." Carlos pleads. "I promise to hold your hand underwater and I will be with you."
Again, just staring at Carlos' face, Logan couldn't say no. "You promise to hold my hand?
"I promise." He nods. "Ok, on the count of three. One. Two Three." He says before they both submerge in the water.
Carlos dives straight to the bottom, eyes intently focusing on the envelope where as Logan's seems to drift. Logan tries to focus on the paper but something else catches him. He notices jet black hair waving in the water, lips curling wider and wider as they get closer to the floor and dimples puffing bigger, full of excitement. He smiles at the sight before him. If there is ever a reason to risk his life in water, this is the reason.
"Logie." Carlos sounds getting Logan's attention pointing to the envelope. Snapping out fast, Logan grabs it and they emerge from the water panting. Carlos wraps his arms around Logan's slim body and kicks their way to the edge.
"Thanks Carlos." Logan says breathing heavily holding on the clue. "I guess swimming is pretty fun." He chuckles laying on the floor.
"No problem Logie. I'm glad you like it." Carlos says sitting down next to him. "So what does the card say?"
Logan opens it and it reads "You" on one side and "Once wet" on the other
"Once wet?" Carlos questions, rubbing his chin. "What do you think it means?"
"I think it means no more swimming." Logan laughs earning a tickle.
"I bet you like that wouldn't you?" Carlos laughs back brushing his abs.
"Not really." Logan tries to sound through the laughter. "Swimming with you is fun."
I think I over did Carlos' adorable features in this... lol Please Review =]
I'll update "Waiting is not forever" tomorrow hoping that 25+ seniors don't trash my house lol. Afterprom is crazy.
