Katie woke up on the comfiest bed she'd ever slept in. She sat up and stretched her arms out, yawning. It took her a moment to process where she was, but when her eyes landed on a sleeping James on the couch she immediately smiled.
He looked so peaceful when he wasn't awake, Katie laughed to herself at it. He was always so full of energy and life, which she was absolutely in love with. But she also loved when he slept, being calm and silent.
"You have no idea how crazy I am about you." She whispered to herself, looking at her boyfriend. She then stood up and quietly walked over to the door, closing it behind her.
She walked next door and gently knocked on it. She heard a groan from behind it, so she put her face up close to the door and quietly said, "Kendall, it's me. Open up!"
After a few seconds and hearing a crash, Kendall opened the door to her. His hair was all messed up and he was only wearing pajama bottoms and a white T-shirt.
"What's up?" he asked groggily, blinking his eyes rapidly to wake up more.
"Sorry to wake you up, but I just wanted to apologize for last night." By then he was more conscious, and her response caught his attention.
"For what, exactly?" he asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
She rolled her eyes and said, "For agreeing so quickly to sharing a room with James and not taking your opinion into account." He raised his eyebrows. "I just didn't want to argue with you too late, so I said the first thing that came to my mind."
He sighed. "I might've…overreacted a little."
"A little?" she chuckled, but he just ignored her.
"But I had good reason to! You're going to be sharing a room with a guy, and you're my baby sis-"
"Okay, I'm gonna stop you right there!" she said, putting a hand up to silence him. "I may be your younger sister, but I'm not a baby!"
"Well, to me you still are!" he defended. "And even though James is one of my best friends, I'm not quite comfortable with it."
She sighed. "Why? I'm almost nineteen! I'll have to experience these things sooner or later!"
He scrunched his face up at that. "Okay, stop! You don't need to say that!" she laughed at his reaction, earning a glare from him. "By the way, how did you guys…you know…?"
She nodded her head, understanding what he meant. "He gave me the bed while he slept on the couch." Kendall smiled; glad his friend was at least being a gentleman. "Which I think should've been the other way around! He has to have good nights' rests, not me!" Katie said.
Kendall waved her off. "Oh, he'll be fine! Well, as long as he doesn't try anything…"
"Kendall!" she exclaimed. He put his hands up and chuckled. "You know James, he won't."
"I know, I know. But just in case." Kendall said, before yawning.
Katie saw and said, "You still seem tired. Just go to bed and we'll talk more later."
He nodded. "Yeah, I'm gonna try to get a few more-"
Just then Kelly came out of her own room, fully dressed with her phone in her hand. "Rise and shine everybody!"
Kendall outwardly groaned, causing Katie to smile sheepishly. "Sorry." She said, before turning to Kelly. "So, what's in store for today?"
"Well, first I need to get the guys up." She said, walking to Katie and James' room.
"Oh, I can get him up." Katie suggested.
Kelly smiled at her. "Thanks. It takes about an hour to get Gustavo up anyway!" They both laughed before Kelly disappeared into his room and Katie into her own.
She walked over to James and sat on the couch, gently shaking him. "James? It's time to get up."
He stirred in his sleep and mumbled something about a monkey stealing his lucky comb. She laughed and shook him again, causing him to slowly awake.
"Mmm, Katie?" he asked, squinting at her.
She smiled down at him and said, "Kelly wants everyone up. Come on Sleeping Beauty."
He chuckled before groaning into his pillow, slowly getting up. She stood and walked into the bathroom, changing out of her airplane clothes and into fresh new ones. After getting ready for the day, she came out again to see James standing there with nothing on but a pair of jeans.
She stopped, just looking at his perfectly toned abs. He noticed and chuckled, grabbing a shirt and walking over to her. "Enjoying the view?" he asked playfully.
She smiled and rolled her eyes. "Move, I have to get my phone before we go." But when she made to walk passed him, he just stood in her way. She tried around him, but he wouldn't budge. "James, we have to go!" she laughed.
He suddenly picked her up, tickling her. She broke into a fit of laughter, trying to get out of his grip. But of course he was stronger than her.
"James! You're insane…let me go!" she said between laughs, making him laugh as well.
"If I'm so insane, then maybe I should do this!" he said, tickling her sides and making her laugh harder, trying desperately to get out of his arms.
This continued for another minute, them ending up on the floor with each other. What made them stop was hearing Gustavo's yelling out in the hallway.
They both looked at each other, before smiling and stifling their laughter. He quickly kissed her before standing and holding out a hand, helping her up. They then walked out to everyone standing in the hall.
"What took you so long?" Logan asked as James closed the door.
"Nothing, just James being annoying again." Katie said, grinning. James mirrored her expression as he wrapped an arm around her.
"Yes, that's so cute! Now let's GO!" Gustavo yelled sarcastically, starting down the hall.
"Where are we going?" Katie asked Kelly, who was looking down at her phone.
"Rehearsal for Madison Square Garden. The show is in a few days and they'll need all the practice they can get!" The guys all stopped and looked at her. She noticed and said, "I'm just saying!"
"That's fine; I just hope we don't get mulled by fans again." Katie said as they entered the lobby. And right on cue a group of crazy fan girls came running at them.
James, Katie, Kendall, Carlos, Logan, Kelly and Gustavo all ran for the outside limo, where Freight Train was waiting. They all climbed in and the chauffer quickly got the engine started, driving down the street.
Katie laughed as she looked back at the girls surrounding Freight Train. The guys all caught their breath and she turned around again, her back against the seat.
~0~0~0~0~
Katie sighed as she stood by the food table backstage. She watched as James, Carlos, Logan and Kendall all prepared for the big concert that Saturday. She loved watching them perform, but they were there for almost five hours by then.
Just then a worker walked by. "Excuse me; do you know what time it is?" Katie asked him, desperate for an answer.
"Yeah, it's half passed three." He said before walking away.
"Thank you!" she called after him, sighing again and leaning on the table. Suddenly a woman with a camera crew came up to her. Katie looked at them with raised eyebrows before asking, "Can I help you?"
"Yes, are you Katie Knight?" The woman asked eagerly.
Katie cleared her throat. "Uh, yes." Then she crossed her arms. "Wait, depends who's asking." She said stubbornly.
The woman laughed flakily and turned to her crew. "Isn't she hilarious?" They all nodded and the woman looked at her again. "I'm Lisa Durnstein from Hollywood TV. Surely you've heard of it?"
Katie looked her up and down. She had heard of it, but she knew these kinds of people too well. All they were looking for was juicy gossip on none other than Big Time Rush. "Yeah, I've heard of it. But that still doesn't explain why you're here."
Lisa laughed again, making Katie irritated. "We're here because we were wondering if you wanted to do an interview with us." She then went closer to Katie. "Word on the street is you're dating a certain James Diamond, hmm?"
She smiled at Katie, making her nod. "Yes, I am."
"Perfect!" Lisa exclaimed, clapping her hands together. "So, about the interview…"
"Look, I don't know about-" Katie began.
"She'll do it!" Kelly said, butting in. Katie looked at her with wide eyes as Lisa smiled again.
"Great! How's…tomorrow at four?" Lisa asked hopefully.
Katie, with her arms still crossed, came over to the reporter and eyed her suspiciously. "You seem to have this all figured out, huh?" she asked, but Kelly just moved her out of the way.
"Tomorrow at four is perfect. Let me just give you our hotel and number." Kelly said, writing something down and giving it to her.
Lisa gave the paper to one of her crew members and smiled at them again. "Great! See you then!" With that, they were gone.
"Um, Kelly?" Katie asked after they were gone. "What was that?" she exclaimed, motioning in the direction where they left.
"Look, I know you don't want to do the interview." Katie nodded, but she still continued. "But it could be great publicity for BTR! We need it!"
Katie rolled her eyes. "Yeah, okay. But Lisa what's-her-name only wants to know about my relationship with James!"
Kelly waved her off. "Trust me, it's a good move." She looked down at her phone and walked away, leaving behind a fuming Katie.
"Oh, it'll be a good move alright." Katie said irritably, leaning against the food table again.
Okay, first of all; sorry for the long wait! I just don't know what went on, I kinda hit a dry spell with this! But no more! Haha
Read&review please! :P
