"Yeah, Jo… I'm on my way to your house. Sheesh, woman. " Kendall chuckled, tiptoeing down the soft mansion stairs with his perfectly sleek dress shoes. "I'll pick you up in five, okay? Love you. Bye."
Kendall stuffed his iPhone deep into his tuxedo's pocket, slightly leaning onto the smooth gold embroidered railing with his other hand. On the last step, the man heard a rather strong, familiar sound of violins echoing in the living room. Halfway way towards the door, Kendall turned on his heels and marched towards the source.
"What on…earth?"
On the leather couch, Logan winced as he held a puffy-eyed Carlos in his arms, butter-lover's popcorn sticking out of his once-groomed hair. Next to the sobbing man was James in his spiffy black and white tuxedo as well. His stunningly blue eyes looked blankly at the movie displayed on the huge living room television, looking at it as though there were nothing there.
"Why d-d-did Rose h-have to let g-go?" Carlos wailed, wrapping his arms tightly around Logan's neck, cause the poor man's face to start to turn a light shade of crimson.
Kendall's lips twitched. "I thought you guys weren't going to watch Titanic again after the last little incident with Carlos, Logan." He half chuckled, trying to hide the amusement in his voice as best as he could.
"Not. My. Idea!" Logan wheezed.
"I t-tooooldd James I d-didn't want to w-watch it!"
"Uh, wait. You wanted to watch Titanic, James? I thought you hated it. " The blonde's raised his eyebrows further up his forehead, utterly puzzled.
"It seems to fit the occasion." James mumbled, grabbing a fistful of mouthwateringly calorific popcorn and shoving it into his mouth.
"Wait, what? Oh, whatever. I don't know what you guys are doing, lying around the couch watching Titanic. We're supposed to be going to dinner with Katie. She's going to throw a fit once she sees all of you covered with tears and butter … Really classy, guys."
Carlos sniffled, brushing away the few tears that were trickling down his face. "Kendall's right, g-guys. We need to go to that d-diner party. Katie s-said she had something r-really important to t-tell us."
"Thank goodness…" Logan breathed. Still clinging onto Logan for support, Carlos stood up and headed out the door, hiccupping and rambling about Rose and Jack. Kendall turned to James.
"What's with you? You're never this quiet."
James glared at him with his big blue eyes and snapped, "We should get going. Katie's waiting for us, remember?"
Kendall, taken aback, merely uttered "Okay?" and led James towards the entrance of the mansion, shutting the door briskly behind him before staring at James' slouching figure… and wondering what could've possibly gotten his best friend's knickers in a twist.
"Babe, are you ready?"
Katie looked up from the sparkling gem on her hand to look into her fiancé's piercing, icy blue eyes. She shuddered at the intensity of his gaze, her stomach tying in knots at the timbre of his voice.
"I don't know. Perhaps it is too soon. What will my mother think? You know how sensitive she is about the subject of marriage, at such a particularly young age-"
"Shhh… Breathe, Kate."
Katie sighed, rubbing her throbbing temples as her betrothed placed a hand on her naked skin and gently massaged her back.
"Did I tell you that I love this dress? Very, very… tempting." He whispered tenderly into her ear, only causing Katie to swat his face away.
"Do you want my mother to be angry about this? Or worse- Kendall? He will rip you apart when we tell him!"
"How can he do that? You're twenty one. You can make your own decisions now." The man smirked. "Besides, I was only whispering in your ear… What is wrong about an innocent little whisper?" He murmured into her ear again, making her giggle softly.
"You're trying to seduce me. That's what is certainly and completely wrong." Katie whispered in return, the hint of her smile lingering on the corners of her lips.
"Seduce you? I am absolutely outraged. If I were really trying to seduce you, I would do this."
The man gradually leaned in, brushing his lips teasingly against Katie's as she shivered under his touch. His lips pressed against her in an agonizingly slow pace, making the woman's hands finally twitch with impatience. In an impulse, she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and opened her beautifully warm and moist mouth to him.
At that point, her fiancé's sturdy arms engulfed her as well, her chest pressing against the upper part of his lean, muscular abdomen. She moaned into his mouth as he plunged his tongue deep into her mouth, robbing her of all the oxygen she required to breathe properly.
And yet, Katie's grip loosened as the man traced his tongue inside the entirety of her mouth. As soon as she was about to get into the moment, the image of James appeared before her eyes, thrusting his tongue in her throat, letting his hands dance around her body, letting his hands linger on the zipper of her dress…
"Mmph!" Katie protested, pushing her beloved away. Her husband-to-be blinked at her, his lust filled eyes scanning her face with confusion.
"What?" He panted, trying to catch his breath.
"We c-can't do this." Katie gasped for air, pulling her loose strands of hair back.
"Why not?" He whimpered, leaning in to capture her lips once more. "We are engaged, after all…"
"MMMMMMPH!" The brunette protested once more, pressing her hand against her fiancé's eager lips. "Stop it. My family does not know that yet, and I do not want them to find out this way. For heaven's sake, we're in a public place. Control yourself."
"Just one more kiss?" His lips captured her plump ones with vigor, causing some of the other guests at the restaurant to peer over their elegant menus and ogle at the couple.
Their moist tongues continued to swirl around each other's, until-
"KATHERINE ALEXA KNIGHT! WHY ON EARTH ARE YOU MAKING OUT WITH THIS MAN?"
Katie jumped away from her fiancé, feeling the immense rush of color in her cheeks burn excruciatingly. Her brown eyes scanned her brother's face wildly, in a mixture of both fright and bewilderment. Behind him was Mrs. Knight, looking flabbergasted- yet endlessly entertained. Carlos and Logan held both of Kendall's arms tightly, as though the fate of the world rested in their hands. (In reality, much of her betrothed's life did rest in their hands… to his relief and dismay.) Jo merely cocked her head to the side, her eyes a bit wide-eyed. What shook Katie the most, however, was the man standing quietly besides the group.
James. His hands, clenched and shaking, rested at his sides- although anyone could tell he was more than willing to use his fists. His eyes, pure and baby blue, were filled the most ardent look of disgust she had ever witnessed. And his mouth- his soft, delectable mouth faded into a deep grimace.
Katie's heart throbbed agonizingly as she analyzed the situation. For some odd reason, she had the feeling the dinner party would not run as smoothly as planned, especially with James and Kendall. Looking back at James' hateful eyes, she wondered- for the millionth time that day- why on earth she had ever uttered "yes". But she knew, she knew, she knew… she had to stop. She was his fiancée now, not James' girl. Time to face the cold, hard facts.
"Kendall, Mom. Carlos, Logan, James… I'd like you to meet my fiancé… Tyler Duncan."
From Loreli:
Oh, dear. Katie is in a muddle. But, I promise there will be more action next chapter!
PS. Tyler Duncan is the chubby redhead from BTR, in case you didn't know! Since he is a man, I decided he probably looks more like Rupert Grint now. HAHA.
XxSmileyxD, thank you for being my first reviewer! I will definitely include the other couples, just not yet! They will, however, play a major part! Kendall and Jo are already a couple, as you can see. Carlos and Logan need a little push ;)
