"I'm not letting you slip out of my life again Rachel, whether you like it or not" he spoke in a soft and caring voice that started to melt my icy heart. He took me in his arms and held me like that for a long time. "Rachel, you have always meant the world to me and letting you go before was so stupid of me, I promise I will never do it again."

I pulled out of the hug to look at him, there were tears brimming in his eyes.

"Don't cry Logan. Everything will be alright." I told him in a calming voice, his eyes now glimmering with hope, "But you've got three years to make up for"

He laughed at this, bringing me in for another hug. We stayed like this for what seemed like hours before we heard people walk up.

"So is everything all better?" James said with and eager smile.

Logan and my eyes met, "yeah they're better" I said.

As we all walked back inside Logan threw his arm around my shoulders pulling me in as close as possible. Just like when we were teenagers, just like when I had the biggest crush on him. I looked up at him and his eyes met mine, he smiled kissing my forehead. I knew this was right, I was meant to be here with Logan, my best friend in the entire world, the one who knew everything about me.

As we all got comfortable on the plush white couches of the 'green room' Kendall started some small talk with Cat, who was in la la land.

"So, do you wanna go somewhere more private and catch up?" Logan whispered in my ear. I shook my head yes. We made our way to another secluded room with only a small couch and a rack of clothing. I'm guessing this was a dressing room for quick changes. We both took a seat at either side of the couch somewhat awkwardly.

"So..." I started.

"Yeah"

I looked at him and he was staring back with a complacent look on his face. We began to talk about everything that had happened over the past three years. I told him about my family troubles and about the scholarship to UCLA. He told me about filming, going on tour, and recording their two albums. We has missed so much over those three years that the conversation could have gone on for hours. Sadly, though, we were interrupted.

"Guys, we're about to head out, Cat said you guys got a ride here with friends, [no wonder I couldn't find my car, I thought to myself, duh] so we were thinking you all could come stay a my place for the night and hang out some more" Kendall told us after opening the door.

Logan looked at me expectantly.

"Well if Cat's alright with it, then so am I" I told them.

The ride back to Kendall's place was filled with a lot of laughter and chatter. Cat seemed to be really into Kendall and Kendall the same. James made a lot of small talk with me, asking me a lot of questions about my had this gleam in his eye the entire ride and kept glancing to Logan who sat beside me on one of the long van seats.

When we finally arrived at Kendall's place we all piled out of the large van. The boys tipped the driver and sent him off. Cat and I were in awe. Kendall's place was right on the water and it was a decent size and by decent size I mean huge. When we walked inside, the entire back side of the house was made up of large windows. The view was amazing, the moon reflecting off the water in the dark night.

"So, about how we have no clothes." I said noticing the obvious "There is no way I can sleep in jeans, trust me."

This made the boys smile. Apparently they all stayed here so often that they all had their own rooms, fully stocked with clothes. Logan took hold of my hand and led me to his room in the house. It looked like any other guest-room in a house like this would, king-size bed,T.V., and a door leading to a bathroom. Logan made his way to the small walk-in closet and rummaged through his clothes. He threw me a pair of black sweat pants and a teal t-shirt with the arms cut off. Very Logan.

"Sorry, it's all I've got." he said with an innocent shrug.

"Its alright, now turn around" I said with a smile. I quickly changed and did the same for him.

"Damn you look good in my clothes." Logan noted with a wink. Ah, there's the flirty Logan I know and love.

"You know what else I look good in?" I quipped.

"No, tell me."

"Nothing" I told him with a wink. his mouth dropped open in disbelief.

He had a response of course "I wouldn't doubt that" With that he came up and snaked his arms around my waist leaning in close pressing his body against mine. My heart started to beat quickly at his close proximity. His lips gently brush my ear as he gabbed my ass. "Ray Ray, you've changed" he whispered.

He pulled back and walked out of the room as if nothing had just happened, well I guess nothing really did. But did he really just grab my ass?

I found my way downstairs a few minutes later, after throwing my hair up into a messy bun. Kendall was the only one down there so I followed him into the basement where there was a large movie theater-like screening room, with three rows of couches. James had claimed a whole couch to himself as did Carlos. There were two spots left open on the occupied couches, one next to Logan and another next to Cat. The other two remaining couches had no cushions so I couldn't sit on them. I knew Cat would want to sit with Kendall who was busy fiddling with the remote trying to find a good movie to watch. My only option was to sit with Logan. Lord help me now.

Logan smirked at me as I took my seat on his couch. He had chosen a smaller one that had enough room for someone to lay down or two people to sit up. The couch was in the third row where no one else was sitting.

Kendall finally chose a movie and sat down next to Cat putting his arm around her, allowing her to snuggle up. I felt Logan snake his arm around my waist and pull me onto his lap. He turned his body so that we were both laying down, spooning. We had always watched movies this way, but somehow this didn't feel as innocent. His hand rested on my hip, tracing circles where my skin was exposed between his t-shirt and sweats. I have to say, I didn't exactly object.

About thirty minutes into the movie James and Carlo were asleep and Cat and Kendall were close behind. I felt Logan's lips press onto the side of my neck, sending shivers down my body. I had to be imagining this. All those times before when we were silly, hormonal teenagers he had never once made a move, and now after three years of not talking he was somehow interested? I was so confused.

"Rachie, when did you get so grown up?" he whispered in my ear kissing my neck some more and rubbing his hand down the length of my body.

I only giggled. WTF, me giggling. Oh jeez something is seriously wrong with me.

His playfulness continued. He began nipping at my exposed neck seeing that it brought me pleasure. I turned to face him, giving him a stern look.

"Oh don't pretend you don't like it." Cocky much?

I decided to play his little game. I whispered sweet nothings in his ear, running my hand down the length of his body, slowly massaging his outer thigh, slowly getting closer to his member. I could feel him harden through his sweat pants. I smirked as I brought my face to look at his own. His eyes were wide in disbelief, practically bugling out of his head.

"Do it, please" he begged as my hand got closer and closer "Please Rachel, please"

But at that moment I pulled my hand away and turned back around. I could hear Logan let out an angry sigh as I sat up and spoke to the rest of the group.

"It's getting really late, we should probably all get some sleep."

Every one, but Logan, agreed. As it ended up Cat was going to spend the night with Kendall, both of whom promised there'd be no funny business, which I believed. There was one last unoccupied guest room that I took for the night. I got myself ready for bed, but as soon as I laid down a text popped up on my screen

Tease it read. From Logan of course.

What did he expect? We had just reunited for the first time in three years, it's not like I was some fuck buddy.

I ended up down in the kitchen to fetch a glass of water. I had just finished pouring some from the Brita when I saw another figure appear.

"James?" I asked quietly, as to not wake the others.

He looked up, shocked, obviously not realizing I was there. "Oh hey, what're to doing up?"

He was shirtless. He was shirtless and hot. His chiseled abs glinting in the moonlight. Oh boy.

"Rachel?" he questioned, snapping me out of my daze.

"Oh, I was thirsty." I said directing my attention to the beach. "You?"

"Sometime when I can't sleep I go out on the deck and listen to the waves, it really relaxes me." he filled me in.

"Mind if I join?" I asked him.

"Of course not, I never protest when a beautiful young lady like yourself wants to spend time with me."

Thank goodness it was dark so he couldn't see the blush he had caused. We made our way out onto the deck. both of us taking a seat on the out-door love seat. It was a bit chilly out, so when I shivered James took me in his arms to keep me warm.

Who would have thought that out of all the boys, I'd be sitting outside at 4 o'clock in the morning, listening to the waves, with James Maslow.
