The ride back to the Palm Woods was awkward. Everyone sat in silence, the only noise was coming from the car's engine. Katie, Kendall, and Logan stared out the windows, Carlos played with his thumbs, and James kept his eyes on the road. It seemed to take an eternity before arriving at their destination. It was already dark out as they pulled in to the parking lot. Suddenly, Katie felt happier. At the pool, everyone was waiting for them. Although none of the boys knew it.
James pulled the key out of the ignition and Katie said, "Um, guys? Can you wait here for just one second?" They nodded and Katie dashed out of the car and through the front double doors of the Palm Woods.
When she was out of sight, Logan turned to James and asked, "Okay, what was that?"
James cocked his head. "What was what?"
Carlos sat up and said, "You know what. Back at the rink! There was definitely some sexual tension between you and Katie! Your faces were way too close!"
James swallowed and Kendall looked at him. "Can I tell them? I kinda think they deserve to know." James hesitated before nodding. Kendall turned to Logan and Carlos.
"Tell us what?" Logan asked.
"James likes Katie." Kendall said. Carlos just shrugged and said, "So, we all like her." Kendall rolled his eyes at his friend's obliviousness and said, "No. I mean he like likes her."
Logan's eyes went wide and he said, "What! Since when?"
James sighed and said, "Long story. But now you know that I like her. And I plan to tell her tonight. When the time is right."
Kendall raised his eyebrows and said, "Wow, tonight? That was fast! You just told me last night!"
James chuckled and nodded. "Yeah. It's getting kind of hard not telling her. I almost kissed her last night. And then today at the rink. It'll be weird, but it'll be a whole lot easier if she knows."
"Wow. I would've never expected this." Logan said. Carlos nodded in agreement.
Kendall looked at the doors and asked, "Hey, why do you think Katie wanted us to stay here?" Everyone else shrugged.
Carlos then said, "Well, we're about to find out." He pointed out the window to see Katie walking toward the car with a smile on her face. They all got out and James asked, "Katie, why did you want us to wait in the car?" Katie's smile grew bigger.
"You'll see. Come on!" She said while pulling his hand toward the front door. Kendall, Carlos, and Logan looked at each other before following.
"Katie! What's going on?" James laughed as she pulled him into the lobby and to the pool.
"You're about to find out. Just wait!" she smiled and turned around to see the other band members coming their way.
"Why are all of the lights turned off?" Carlos asked, looking around.
"And what's going on?" Kendall asked.
"That's what I've been asking!" James said.
"Shut up and wait!" Katie laughed. They waited for a moment before Katie called out, "Okay, now!"
All of a sudden the lights turned on to show an amazing sight. Everyone at the Palm Woods was out by the pool surrounded by even more lights and tables of food. A DJ stood in the corner with his equipment. A banner was hung up that read 'Welcome Back Big Time Rush!' All of the people smiled and cheered, while music played in the background. The guys all laughed and smiled.
"This is awesome!" Carlos shouted.
Katie laughed. "Sorry it's a little late!" She had to yell over all of the noise.
"Katie, did you plan this?" James yelled to her.
"Well, I had some help!" she smiled as Jo and Camille appeared behind her. Jo ran up to Kendall and hugged him. Camille kissed Logan, slapped him, then kissed him again. It was strange, but it was their thing.
James walked closer to Katie, so he wouldn't have to yell. "Katie, this is amazing!" he said with a bright smile on his face. He wrapped his arms around her and she laughed. They pulled apart and only looked at each other for a second before Katie was picked up from behind.
"Baby sis, this is great!" Kendall said as he turned her around to face him.
"Glad you like it! Who has the best sister in the world?" Katie smiled.
"Me!" Kendall smiled as well before pulling her into a proper hug this time. She laughed and hugged back. He pulled away, smiled once more at her, and then turned back to Jo.
The party wet on for a few hours. Only Jo, Camille, and Katie knew that at midnight they were going to let fireworks off. But nobody else knew. Sometime during the party, Jo pulled Katie aside and asked, "Katie, how did you convince Bitters to let us have this?"
Katie thought and smiled. "Oh, I have my ways."
Back in the hotel, Mr. Bitters was tied up in a supply closet on the fourth floor.
Jo just shrugged and smiled. Katie laughed to herself before spotting James. He was adjusting a mic on stage while the other guys were practicing some dance moves.
She looked to her right and saw Kelly.
"Kelly!" she called. Kelly looked and Katie motioned her to come over.
"What's up Katie?" She asked.
"I just wanted to know if you knew what song they were going to sing." She pointed to the four boys and Kelly shrugged. "I don't know. We didn't really get to see them before."
Katie giggled and said, "Oh right, sorry." Kelly smiled at her before calling Gustavo over as well.
Suddenly a voice came over the speakers. "Okay everyone. Big Time Rush will be performing!" Camille said excitedly into the microphone. Everybody clapped and some people whooped. Camille laughed and then said, "The song that they'll be singing is 'Oh Yeah!'"
Katie's ears perked up at this. That song was one of her favorites. It was set as her ringtone for a while, when the band was on tour. And not only because James sang a majority of it. Although that was mostly the reason.
"Boys, if you will!" Camille motioned for them to come out and she stepped off stage. She and Jo stood next to Katie and the song started.
The band sang and did the moves like they usually do when they perform. Katie, Jo, and Camille danced and laughed at each other's goofiness. Katie mostly kept her eye on James.
And now it's time I gotta make a move
We could be together if you only knew
'Cause life's too short and we've got nothing to lose
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
As he sang this, James looked directly at Katie. Jo and Camille noticed and stared at her with smiles on their faces. Although, their mouths were slightly open as well. Katie felt a blush form on her cheeks as she kept watching him.
I can't seem to get you out of my mind
And I ain't gonna stop until I make you mine
I just gotta make it to you by the end of the night
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
They locked eyes as he sang. James was singing to Katie and no one else. He meant every word he said. Katie's cheeks were bright pink. He broke eye contact as soon as the chorus started up again. Although throughout the song, he would glance at her. Katie beamed. Her smile was as bright as the sun. She already knew he was singing to her. He never kept eye contact with anyone on stage before. The song ended and the band waved to the crowd.
"Katie, James was singing that song to you. You know that, right?" Camille asked with a giant smile.
"I know." She said quickly before walking to the food table. She leaned on it, the table supporting her weight. She was so happy right now. Anyone looking at her could tell. She let out a squeal of delight before seeing James coming towards her. Her breathing suddenly stopped as her eyes once again met his.
He stopped in front of her and said, "Hey. Did you like the show?"
All she could do was nod. He chuckled and then held out his hand. She gladly took it and they started walking, away from the giant crowd of people.
"So, are you enjoying the party?" She asked, looking down at her feet as they walked.
"Are you kidding me? This is probably the best Hollywood party I've ever been to!" he laughed.
She smiled at him and said, "Good! I first thought of this a few weeks back. I knew you guys would like it."
"Definitely! Although, it doesn't surprise me that it was you who came up with all of this. You're amazing Katie Knight." He smiled at her.
"Thanks. And don't you forget it!" she joked.
He laughed when he noticed her shiver slightly. "Hey, are you cold?" Even though they were in California, it still got chillier at night.
He began to take off his leather jacket when Katie said, "Oh you don't have to-"
"No please, take it. You're no good to me if you die of hypothermia!"
"Hey!" she playfully smacked his arm and he laughed.
"Kidding! But please, take it." He draped the jacket around her shoulders and she automatically felt warmer.
"Thanks." She said softly.
He looked at her and smiled. "You look good in my jacket." The jacket was a little too big for Katie, seeing as though she was very small and petite. Still, he liked seeing her in his clothes. Even if that did sound wrong.
She giggled and said, "Yeah, you know, I might just keep it!"
"Haha, very funny." He smiled. He put his arm around her and she leaned into him. James felt like she was meant to be there. At his side.
They stopped at a place where they a full view of the pool. Katie leaned forward on a railing in front of them and James did the same right beside her. They could see everyone laughing, talking, dancing, just having a good time. Katie looked at her watch. Almost midnight. She was excited to see the fireworks. And she knew James would like them too.
"Thank you Katie. This whole party means a lot to us. A lot to me." He turned to face her. She was still looking ahead, at the water. He marveled at her beauty, the light from the distance shining on her face. Her hair was blowing in the light breeze. James thought that she looked absolutely breath taking.
"No problem. You guys mean a lot to me. You're my boys." She smiled, turning to face him as well.
"I'm glad." He chuckled. He looked deep into her eyes, getting lost. He seemed to do that a lot lately. That's when it hit him. He didn't just like Katie. He was in love with her. James Diamond was in love with Katie Knight.
He brought his hand to her cheek, caressing her face. Suddenly, he leaned down and crashed his lips onto hers. He didn't know what caused him to do it, but he really didn't care. He was kissing the girl of his dreams. All of his cares melted away as he wrapped his other arm around her waist, pulling her closer. She was definitely surprised at first. Of course she liked him. She just didn't know that he felt the same way. She then responded to the kiss, bringing her hands up and wrapping them around his neck. They both smiled into the kiss, overwhelmed with happiness.
All of a sudden, they heard booming in the background. They pulled away from each other and looked up. Bright colors were exploding, lighting up the dark, starry sky. They stared in awe at how beautiful the sight was. Here they stood, in each other's arms, underneath a bunch of amazing fireworks. They looked back at each other and smiled.
"Still the best party ever?" she had to slightly raise her voice, so he could hear her over the noise.
"Oh yeah!" he responded.
"So this makes you 'The Hollywood Party King of Hollywood'?" she smiled brightly.
"Yes! Although, every King needs their Queen. Katie Knight, will you be 'The Hollywood Party Queen of Hollywood'?" he asked, smiling genuinely.
"Of course I will!" she laughed. He picked her up by her waist and spun her around. They were in total bliss, being with one another. He put her down and kissed her with all the passion and love he had. She kissed back with just as much and they continued, never wanting this moment to end. They didn't even notice that Kendall was watching from across the pool with a giant smile on his face. Next to him stood Logan, Carlos, Jo, Camille, Kelly, Gustavo, and Ms. Knight. James and Katie would have A LOT of explaining to do. But they figured it would just have to wait.
