RandomWriter23: You wanna tell James that? Maya would love you, be my guest ;P And I'm not just gonna TELL you what he was going to say. You'll have to find out in the stoooooryyyy. Haha I'm an evil bitch. Aw thanks, it means so much that you love every chapter. That's so sweet! LOL Sweet! See? I'm just weird...

Jenno2: OMG IKR. James Maslow just...mm. When I see him in an interview or something I'm like "Come to me my pretty (boy)!" Ok um, that will make more sense after you read the chapter XD

REYNA'S POV

I pulled up to Sweet! and checked my hair and makeup in the rear view mirror before getting out of the car and locking it. I walked inside and the place was totally crowded. Holy shit, how many people come here?

Dammit, I don't even have Kendall's number. "Reyna?"

I turned around and met those gorgeous green eyes. "Kendall!" He came forward to give me a hug and I couldn't help but close my eyes when I smelled his amazing cologne.

Kendall smiled down at me. "How've you been?"

"Since yesterday when you last saw me?" I teased. "Great."

He laughed and nodded. "Alright, point taken. You look gorgeous, by the way."

I blushed and looked down. "Thanks. You look really good, yourself." Kendall was wearing dark jeans with a white dress shirt.

Kendall scratched the back of his neck. "I um...I guess we both got pretty dressed up, huh?"

I smiled up at him. "Yeah, guess so."

"How about we go out to lunch instead?"

"I'd love that." Kendall took my hand and led me to his car. He's holding my hand. Fuck yeah buddy! I pointed back at my car. "What about my car?"

He waved it off. "We'll come back here to get it, don't worry." Kendall opened the passenger door for me and then went around to the driver side himself. "Where would you like to go?"

"Oh um, I have no idea. You pick."

Kendall smiled at me. "You ok?"

I played with my hair. "Fine. Why?"

"You seem-"

"Nervous?" I finished for him with a laugh.

He chuckled and nodded. "Yeah, I guess. Why though?"

I smirked at him. "Really, Kendall? Just the fact that I was able to call you by your name right now makes me nervous. I've waited to meet you for years! This is seriously a dream come true."

Kendall grinned at me. "Well then, I'm extremely honored. But seriously, relax, Reyna. I'm excited for today and I want it to be really special for you."

I bit my lip. "Trust me, it already is."

MAYA'S POV

Reyna came back home from her date three hours later all smiles. "What happened?" I asked her.

"Well, I met him at Sweet! but then it was really crowded and we were both kind of dressed up so we went out to this restaurant, um I think it was Japanese or something and- oh god, he's just so WOW, Maya!"

I smiled at her and gave her a hug. "I'm so happy for you."

"Thanks. So what're the headlines in Maslowville?"

I stared at her. "Really? Maslowville, Reyna?"

"Oh shut up, it was on the spot. What's up with him?"

"Well we texted a bit, and I think we're gonna hang out soon..."

"Hold the fuck up. 'Hang out'? Or go on a date?" Reyna raised an eyebrow at me.

"That's the thing! I don't know, but I'm like, scared to ask him. I don't want to jeopardize the friendship we have going. I mean, at least I think we do..." I trailed off.

Reyna slapped my arm. "Of course you do!"

"Ow! Of course we do what?"

"Of course you have a friendship," Reyna responded with a duh look.

"Alright fine. So what should I do?"

"Um...ok now I'm stuck. Maybe just wait till he asks you again?"

I shrugged. "Guess so." I tucked a stray piece of my hair behind my ear. "Reyna, what if I start to like him? Like actually like him?"

Reyna smiled at me. "Then you just let it happen."

"Easy for you, kiddo. I don't want to get hurt again. There have been so many jerks."

Reyna sighed and gave me a hug. "I know, life's a bitch sometimes. But I think you can trust James. You said so yourself, he seems like a good, genuine guy. Give it a try."

I bit my lip and then smiled back at her. "You know what, Reyna? I think I just might."

I heard a knock on the door and Reyna calling, "I got it!" I quickly slipped my flats on and put my earrings in, then went downstairs. I caught the end of Reyna's conversation with James.

"-hurt her and I'll rip your dick off, got it?"

Oh fuck, I should not have left her alone with him.

It's been a week since Reyna told me to give James a shot, and we finally agreed to hang out on Saturday night. Well tonight, now.

I made my way to the front door and saw Reyna smiling angelically at James. I threw her a look and she went back to the kitchen.

James smiled at me. "H-hey." Oh poor boy, he's still shocked from Reyna's threat.

"Hi." I smiled back at him.

"You look great, gorgeous."

"Thanks, handsome."

Don't ask me, they've become our nicknames. We always text eachother with them. "Where are we heading tonight?" I asked James.

"I thought it might be fun to go bowling."

"Sounds good. But be prepared to have your ass kicked," I teased.

James raised an eyebrow at me. "Is that a challenge, M&M?"

"You bet it is, James."

"Oh, it's so on now, Maya. Let's go."

"Sure. Let me just tell them."

James nodded. "No problem. I'll wait."

"Thanks." I went to the kitchen and said bye to Reyna, Mom, and Dad.

Dad gave me a tight hug. "Be careful, ok?"

I sent him a small smile. "I will, Dad. I promise."

"Alright then. Off you go."

I waved bye to them and walked back to James. He placed his hand on the small of my back and guided me to his car where he opened the door for me.

I smiled at him and he returned mine with a grin. We drove to the bowling alley and went inside, then went up to the desk to get our shoes.

"Size?"

"11," James responded.

"8 for me," I said after him.

We grabbed our shoes and headed down to the lane that was assigned to us.

James stretched and cracked his back while I put our names in to the computer. "Alright, M&M, let's go."

He looked up and his jaw dropped when he saw the name I had put in for him.

"Really, Maya? M&M and Pretty Boy?"
