Hello my gorgeous fanfic readers!
I just want to say that I'm overwhelmingly happy about how many reviews my last post got me.
I saw a lot of familiar names, and also a lot of new ones. So, I just want to say that I love each and every one of you guys! You're awesome.
I decided to post so soon because of that, so yay!
Well, I think that's all I have to say...
Disclaimer: I don't own Big Time Rush, just my OC Jade! She's pretty cool.
...
Jade's Point-of-View:
The next day, Kendall decided to wake me up early and we walked to Starbucks.
"The first day we were here, she just came up and slapped me!" he chuckled. We were talking about that Camille girl that Logan was on and off with.
"She seemed nice when I met her," I shrugged.
"She's gotten better, but watch out. Everytime she auditions, she really gets into character,"
I chuckled and we walked through the doors, the smell of fresh coffee entering my nostrils.
We stood in line for a few minutes and then Kendall ordered for us.
"We'll have two tall black coffees and two chocolate cupcakes," he pointed to the delicious desserts behind the counter. He knew my favorite kind of coffee by heart, which I thought was very sweet.
"Coming right up," the man behind the counter said. Kendall paid, even though I protested.
"I'm not letting my girlfriend pay, that wouldn't be the gentleman thing to do," he smirked at me.
I knew he'd be stubborn when it came to this relationship stuff, but it was just so cute to see him care so much about me.
"Order number 57," the guy called from behind the counter. "Enjoy!"
I grabbed my food and drink, following Kendall to a table for two.
I sat on the stool and unwrapped my cupcake.
"Someone's hungry," he joked.
"Shut up! You know I love chocolate cupcakes," I defended myself.
He smiled and sipped on his coffee.
I finished my cupcake and started on my coffee. I couldn't help but feel like this guy sitting across the room was staring at me. He was probably in his late-30's, and he was wearing a gray cardigan with a tan scarf and skinny jeans. He had jet black hair styled into a mohawk and was wearing thick framed glasses.
"Who are you looking at?" Kendall asked nonchalantly.
"This dude keeps staring at me, it's creeping me out," I took my eyes off the creeper.
"Just ignore it," he shrugged.
I sipped up my coffee up and sat there for a few minutes. "I'm gonna go to the bathroom,"
I went and did my thing and walked back out to the main part of the room.
"Hey, miss can I talk to you?" the man from earlier said.
"Me?" I asked, trying not to be creeped out.
"Yes," he said. "My name is Matthew Everhart, I'm the recruiter for Groff Modeling, and I couldn't help but notice that you'd be a perfect model," he smiled.
"Thanks, but I'm not really the modeling type," I told him modestly.
He chuckled, "I've helped girls like you score modeling jobs for Hollister, D&G, and Victoria's Secret, are you sure you're not interested?" he asked kindly.
"I'm sure," I nodded, chuckling a bit.
"I don't just pick anyone," he said matter-of-factly. "Here's my card," he handed it to me. "Call if you change your mind, I'd love to hear from you,"
"Thanks for the offer," I smiled, walking back to Kendall.
"You're back," he smiled.
"Yup," I said, popping the 'p'.
I looked at the business card in my hands, "What's that?" Kendall asked. "You better not be scoring guys' phone numbers on my watch," he said sarcastically.
"It's for a modeling agency," I rolled my eyes. "It's so stupid," I said to myself.
"Modeling?" he asked. He paused for a few seconds and then said, "You should do it,"
"Yeah, I should," I said sarcastically.
"I'm serious!" he said.
I bit my lip. "Kendall, that's rediculous. I'm nothing like those girls on the covers of magazines," I told him.
"You're much prettier than them," he took my hand. "Boyfriend's honor," he held up 3 fingers.
I laughed a little. "Exactly, you're going to say that I'm pretty whether I am or not,"
"But you're the most beautiful girl I've ever met," he said. "You need to give yourself more credit,"
"I'm not going to take the job," I said. "I wouldn't even compare to the other models out there," I furrowed my eyebrows.
"Jade, you're so pretty. I love you, and you need to stop being so down on yourself," his dimples showed as he gave me a side-smile. He rubbed circles on my palm, trying to convence me that I'm something I'm not.
"Shut up, Kendall," I mumbled. "Let's talk about someting else," I told him.
"Whatever," he threw his hands in the air. "How about we go to the pool?" he suggested to me.
"That actually sounds great," my lips curved into a smile. "I can spend time with the guys that way,"
"And me," he winked.
I laughed and got up, "Come on Kendall,"
...
We walked through the door of 2J.
"Who's up for the pool?" I asked, disturbing the guys who were chilling in the living room.
"Sure, I'm up for it," Logan shrugged.
Carlos hopped up from the couch, "Yeah, I was just about to go!"
"What about you, bro?" I asked, grinning at my brother.
"Sure, we can get out tan on," he got up and high-fived me.
"That works!" I said, chuckling at my brother.
...
I went to my room to change into my swimsuit.
I stripped out of my clothes, leaving me in only my bra and underwear. I took the modeling agency card out of my purse and sat it on my bedside table.
Then, I walked over to the full length mirror in the corner.
Am I really the modeling type? I turned, looking at myself at all angles. I've always kept in shape, but I never felt perfect enough.
I had average size boobs and I thought my butt was a decent size. I had the height for it too. But, why would I want to be on display for everyone? Surely I'm not nearly good enough for that. I may be a Diamond, but in my eyes, all I see is plain, old, average me.
I guess I'm okay with that. Why would anyone want someone like me for a model though? That guy must just be crazy.
I shook myself out of my thoughts and changed into a simple black bikini.
"Hey, are you ready?" Kendall knocked on my door.
"Yeah, I'll be right out," I grabbed my white cover-up dress and slipped it on. I took one last look in the mirror and walked out.
I smiled at my boyfriend and he took my hand. "Let's go, I told the guys we'd meet them there,"
We strolled down to the pool and took our seats that were reserved just for us.
"There she is!" James said.
I took my cover up off and laid down on the nice chairs by the pool.
He handed me a bottle of tan accelerator. "We can share," he gave me a bright smile.
I shook my head, laughing lightly and lathered up. We always bonded over a little tan time on vacations. I missed that.
Kendall put a hand on my leg. "I'm gonna go take a dip with the guys, okay?"
"That's fine," I waved him off. He kissed me on the cheek and he was off.
"So, how are things going with Kendall?" my brother asked.
I instantly smiled. "Things are going very good," I said.
He turned his head towards me. "He treats you good, doesn't he?"
"Yes, he treats me very well," I told him, correcting his grammar.
He grinned. "You really like him," he stated.
I shrugged a little, "He's the perfect boyfriend," I ran a hand through my ponytail. "He's incredibly sweet,"
"Eww, I don't wanna hear about that," he said.
I playfully hit his shoulder. "Where's your significant other?" I asked.
"James Diamond isn't a one girl type of guy, I thought you knew that," he raised an eyebrow, smirking.
I smirked back. "You know, you'd be a catch for someone if you tried,"
He just sprayed more tanning spray on himself. "I know," he grinned, causing me to roll my eyes.
"You haven't changed a bit, have you?"
"I've gotten better about the whole 'self-absorbed' thing, but I'm still your big brother," he said, shrugging his shoulders.
"That's true," I smiled.
We talked a little more and then focused on taking in the sun's rays.
"Jade, you should come swimming with me," Kendall smiled, putting his muscular arms on the edge of the pool by my chair.
"I'm good sitting here," I winked.
He splashed me and Carlos, followed by Logan came over.
"Come on, Jade!" Carlos begged. "The water feels great," he flicked some water in my face.
I wiped some of the water off my face. "I'm good,"
"Come swim with your boyfriend," Logan taunted, hitting Kendall's shoulders.
"I'll just sit on the edge here," I said, dipping my feet in the water. "Better?"
"Carlos, grab her legs!" Kendall said suddenly.
Before I knew it, I was pulled into the cool water of the Palm Woods' pool.
I came up from the water, shaking my head like a dog. "Carlos, what the hell!"
All of them we laughing their heads off.
I crossed my arms over my chest.
The laughing died down and Kendall came over, wrapping me in his arms.
"Sorry babe," he said. "You look adorable when you're angry, though," he smirked.
I clenched my teeth, and did my best to not give in to his cuteness.
"Jade," he said. "It was a joke,"
"Well, Ken-dork," I smirked. "Now we have to play chicken to even the slate,"
"Oh, you're on!" his competitive side came out in an instant.
"Logan, you're on my team!" I said, snapping my fingers.
"You're going down, Kendall," Logan said with an evil smirk. "Hop on,"
I got on his shoulders and Kendall got on Carlos' shoulders.
It was a hard battle, but I had so much fun. Kendall and I had back and forth banter going on, and I loved watching his yellow-green eyes filled with so much determination.
I reached down and tickled his stomach, causing him to go into a fit of laughter and fall off of Carlos.
"Yes!" I said victoriously.
I got off of Logan's shoulders and high-fived him, both of us laughing our heads off.
Logan put an arm around me giving me a side hug, and Kendall resurfaced.
"Cheaters!" he said. "You can't tickle someone when playing chicken!" he said stubbornly, and with complete seriousness.
I stifled my laughter. "Oh yeah?" I said, stepping up to him.
"Yeah," he said, not backing down and stepping up to me so that we were chest to chest.
"What if I did this?" I said, getting fearless and kissing him sweetly on the lips, pulling away from him with an accomplished look on my face.
"Eww!" Logan and Carlos from behind us, causing me to smirk more.
"Oh, that?" Kendall said, caught off guard. "That's fine," he smirked back at me.
Oh, how I love L.A...
...
Okay, I know the modeling thing may have seemed a little random, but I promise it'll come up again sometime soon.
A lot of stuff is going to go down after a few more chapters, and I'm trying to decide exactly how it'll play out.
I hope you liked reading this as much as I love writing it! :o)
