Sorry it's been a while since I've updated! Everybody should go and read Remember Me by jchamberz which is absolutely amazing!
And I just thought I'd make it noted that my birthday is in exactly 25 days from now! I'll tell you how old I am... someday!
On with the story!

Confused.
That could barely sum up how Logan, Kendall, and Carlos felt as they re-played the scene over and over again in their heads. James had evidently turned down a very flirtatious waitress who was obviously interested in him. James would normally take her up for that offer within seconds. The three boys explained the incident to Mama Knight, the mother simply raising an eyebrow, smiling, and shrugging before going back to her house work.
That night James knocked on Skylar's apartment door, Lily quickly greeting him with a smile. "Hi, Lily. Is Skylar here?" James asked, slyly looking around the brunette. She crossed her arms over her chest, smirking as she leaned against the doorway.
" ... Why do you want to see her?" James' eyebrows shot up, the brunette's question catching him off guard. Her smirk grew as she cocked an eyebrow in await for his answer. A light shuffle sounded from the living room, catching both of the brunette's attentions. "Lily, what are you doing?". James smiled the moment Skylar stepped into view.
Her ringlets were tousled, obviously from laying on the couch. She wore flannel sleep pants, a large hoodie hanging loosely from her thin body. James's heart wrenched as he clearly remembered all the nights Skylar had stayed at his house.
"James. What are you doing here?" Skylar asked, eyeing Lily before returning her gaze to James. "I just," James began, quickly glancing to Lily and licking his lips. Nodding- aware of what James was attempting to cue her in to- Skylar faced Lily and quickly cocked her head towards the living room. Sighing, Lily retreated to the couch and brought her attention towards the black and white movie playing.
Skylar pulled the door tightly shut, closing her into the hallway with James. "I just wanted to know if you had plans for tomorrow night?" James nervously scratched the back of his neck, looking to meet her gaze. The blonde's eyebrow was raised, a small smile faintly playing on her lips. "Is James Diamond asking me out?". The brunette blushed, facing the carpeted floor with a small grin on his face.
"Because if he is, it's a yes."
James' eyes shot up, meeting Skylar's gentle smirk. "Really?" he mentally rolled his eyes at how pitiful he sounded, but at this moment, it didn't matter. Skylar nodded, a smile replacing her smirk. "I'll pick you up at seven." James smiled, winking at Skylar. "Don't get too cocky, Pretty Boy." He shrugged and grinned before hesitantly kissing her cheek.
"Good night, Sky." James smiled as the blonde blushed, looking to the floor. "Night, James."

The Next Day
For once in their friendship, Lily awoke before Skylar.
This could be the result of the adrenaline that had coursed through Skylar's veins the previous night as James' lips made contact with her skin. The blonde was baffled, yet dissapointed at how he could effect her like. She had always been so strong willed, yet whenever she was with James, all of her will power seemed to evaporate. No matter how much concentration was put into the effort to stay strong, Skylar always ended up caving into him.
"Skylar," Lily sing- songed, throwing open the bedroom door. Skylar lay on her back, arms crossed behind her head. Her eyes were locked on the ceiling, only breaking her stare every now and then to blink. Lily stopped in her tracks, now becoming more solemn in curiousity. "Thinking?" Lily asked, raising an eyebrow. Skylar simply nodded, never breaking her gaze.
Hesitantly sitting down on the foot of the bed, Lily faced Skylar once more. "Do you want to talk about it?". Skylar shook her head 'no', sitting up in her bed and tossing the powder blue sheets off of herself. Shrugging, Lily's bright smile resumed her face as she hopped up off of the bed and bounded out into the kitchen once more.
After taking a quick shower and scrunching her hair to dry in curls, Skylar entered the kitchen fully dressed and prepared for- most of- the days events. Lily sat on the countertop patiently, beaming as Skylar faced her. "Did you make breakfast?" Skylar asked, raising an eyebrow. Lily shook her head, fiddling with her fingers in her lap. "I was waiting for you to do it." she looked up, sheepishly smiling at her. Rolling her eyes, Skylar began on their breakfast.
"Lils, I have a quick question." Skylar hesistantly faced the brunette, nervous of what her reaction would be. "Shoot." Lily mumbled, sipping her glass of milk. "Figuratively speaking- of course- what would you say if I told you, that I have a date with someone tonight?". Lily looked up from her milk, raising an eyebrow. "I would ask you, who this person is." Biting her bottom lip, Skylar spun on her heels to face the stove once more.
"If I were to say, James, how would you react?".
Silence.
After what seemed to be long, silence-filled, hours, Skylar took a deep breath and faced Lily. Her lips were pursed, a thin strand of hair falling in her face. "I would say- figuratively speaking- that you're an idiot."
"Hm." Skylar pursed her lips as she returned her attention to the sizzling pan on the stove. Silence engulfed the kitchen, ignoring the faint sizzle coming from the bacon.

Morning groginess filled the boys of Big Time Rush as they sat around the breakfast table. Katie watched the boys with a raised eyebrow as they automatically shoveled food into their mouths. "So boys, what do you have planned for the day?" Mama Knight asked, sitting down at the head of the table.
"Picnic with Jo."
"Asking out a Jennifer."
"Pool."
Eyes expectantly landed on James. In await, Logan nonchalantly took a spoonful of his cereal. "I have a date with Skylar at seven." James smiled. Logan choked on his cereal, his eyes snapping to James. "You're what?". Slowly, James repeated himself, Logan's eyes remaining wide. Carlos and Kendall eyed eachother nervously as Logan and James continued to stare at eachother. Katie looked to Kendall in question, Mama Knight doing the same in curiousity as to what was going on. In a split second, James and Logan both returned to their breakfast as if nothing had been said.
