A/N: I only own Kimmie.

Kimmie POV
I was standing backstage waiting on for Barri and Phil to get done with a promo and some other stuff when someone poked me in the side. I turned to yell at whoever it was, but I came face to face with John.
"Are you sure you want to stand that close to me?" I asked him and he smirked.
"Yep." He said with a small smile.
"What?" I asked him.
"I got you something." He said and I shook my head.
"John, seriously, stop buying me stuff." I said and he smirked.
"No, not until you either accept that I have changed or you tell me that you seriously want nothing to do with me." He said and I sighed.
"Fine, you've changed." I said and he laughed.
"Almost believable." He said and I smirked.
"You need to come to my room tonight after the show." He said and I sighed.
"Fine, what time?" I asked him.
"11." He said and I nodded.
He walked away and Barri walked up with Phil.
"Was he bothering you?" Barri asked me and I looked at him.
"Yep, he demanded that I drop my pants and fuck him right here." I said and Phil busted out laughing. Barri rolled his eyes and pulled me along with them down the hallway.
"What did he want?" Barri asked me.
"He was making small talk… I thought you were going to be nice." I said and he smirked.
"I am, but I'm also nosey." He said and I laughed. He had that part right.
John POV
I was glad that Kimmie was coming to my room tonight. I had everything set up and I wanted her to know that I had been paying attention to her. I was finishing up everything when I heard a knock on the door. I opened the door and smiled at her.
"Come on." I said and took her hand. She shook her head as I pulled her into the room.
"How do you get suites?" she asked me and I laughed.
"Perks of being big in the company." I said and she nodded.
"Perks of being a target." She said and I smirked.
"Fair enough, but I didn't want you to come here to ask me about my hotel room." I said and she laughed.
"I know that I had gotten you everything and some of it is just stuff to you, but tonight… this is my last attempt. I will give up if this doesn't work… tonight I wanted you to see that I do pay attention and I do care." I said and she nodded slowly.
"Come on." I said and pulled her through the suite out to the balcony. She gasped and I smiled.
I had put up white Christmas lights, candles, and gotten traditional English food for us to eat.
"It's a picnic." I said and she smiled.
We sat down and ate; she seemed to like everything and I was glad. I had really tried and I even got her favorite wine… I had Stu to thank for that one. I was surprised that he had told me so willingly… although I imagine that the $100 helped.
"Thank you, John." She said and I smiled.
"So, can we try it or did I lose to the redhead?" I asked her and she laughed when I referred to Stephen. She smiled and then sighed.
"Look, I really do like you, but Barri doesn't like you. I really don't want to put you in that position… I can't stand to see him hate you already and knowing that we are dating won't help." She said and I sighed.
"Fine, you leave me no choice." I said and pulled her to me.
"John… what?" she asked as I pulled her lips to mine. I wanted to see how she reacted when I kissed her now. She didn't tense, but instead she leaned into the kiss. I moaned when I felt her hands slip around my neck and caress the hairs on my neck. I finally pulled away and she looked at me. She was beautiful; I wanted her.
"You are beautiful." I whispered and she looked at me. She couldn't help smile at me, which made me smile.
"Secret relationship?" she asked me and I smiled.
"Completely, as long as it means that you are mine." I said and she nodded.
"Kiss me like that all the time and I will definitely be yours." She said and I pulled her back in for a kiss.
Kimmie POV
I finally stumbled back to my room around 2 am and fell onto the bed. I was glad that I had my own room so that Barri didn't know. I didn't know how the secret relationship would go, but I already gave John credit for giving me that much… he knew that Barri was important for me.
I woke up the next morning to someone knocking on the door. I opened it to find Barri, Phil, Stephen, and Beth looking at me.
"Yes?" I asked him.
"Twenty minutes, come on." Phil said and I groaned.
I jumped in the shower and got ready in a hurry while Barry threw my stuff in my bags.
"K, where did you get this?" he asked me and I looked at him as I pulled my hair up. He was holding a box with a silver charm bracelet in it… John had given it to me.
"I bought it a few cities ago… I liked it." I said and he shrugged. Beth gave me a look and I mouthed 'later'. Beth and I had started to talk more since she and Phil were dating now. I thought it was an odd couple, but I couldn't judge. I am sure that if people found out about me and John they would think that we were strange. I wasn't exactly diva material and he was the top star.
Beth POV
We were driving to the next city. I called driver and Kimmie was going to ride with me; we were going to chat. The guys decided that they would ride together since they didn't want to be in a 'hormone filled car' as Phil put it. We got in and started down the road.
"Who gave you the bracelet?" I asked her and she sighed.
"You are sworn to secrecy and I mean it." she said and I nodded.
"Totally, I know that it's hard to find someone to actually talk to on the road." I said and she nodded.
"John gave it to me… we are sorta dating." She said and I was shocked.
"What about Stephen?" she asked me and I shrugged.
"John has been trying to get me to date him for like weeks and I just finally gave in last night." She said and I nodded.
"Just be careful, I would love to see John get his ass kicked, but I don't think that you want Barri to be the one to kill him." I said and she laughed.
"Yeah, pretty much." She said.
I had fun talking to her and I realized that there was something to her and John. She would smile when he would text her; I thought it was sweet, but I understood why I couldn't tell anyone. Barri didn't exactly like John and he would probably blow up at everything if he found out. I felt for Kimmie because if turned out bad then it would really be bad.
A/N: Will it actually work?
