So, you know how I said just one more chapter? Yea, I was wrong. This one is pretty short but I didn't want to leave you guys hanging much longer. I'm currently watching Big Time Decision and I wanted you all to know, I actually had this story planned out before Big Time Surprise was even announced. Anyways, hope you enjoy this little thing and I'll update when I can.

Disclaimer: I do not own Big Time Rush and am not making any money out of this.

Laying in bed, Katie stared at her Fifty Tips For A Successful Business poster stuck on her ceiling, wondering what to do about James. Sure, a relationship wasn't the same as a business but the basics were similiar, right? Katie knew how to run a business but without some type of degree, nobody would hire her. Thus, she started working part-time at the club as a waitress and performed as Katarina for a few more bucks so she could pay for her own studies. There was no way, she was going to take any of her brother's hard earned money, no matter how much he insisted. But business aside, dating had the same fundamentals so it should work.

Tip Number One: Weigh the pros and cons about what you want to accomplish and figure out if it's even worth beginning.

Cons: They didn't have much time to spend together, he loved women, he loved to flirt, he was prettier than her, they were both too stubborn to solve anything like civilized adults, she got jealous too easily and girls literally threw themselves at him, he constantly made stupid decisions which she usually helped him with and he tended to think way too much about himself.

Katie sighed, that was a pretty long list and it wasn't very encouraging. Although, that was probably why it was the cons list. She started listing the pros.

Pros: She loved James, he was a great guy, they made a great team, she loved him, he always made time for others, he was incredibly kind when he wasn't being sassy, he had a beautiful smile, he was incredibly talented, she loved him, he was gorgeous, she practically knew everything about him and he still managed to surprise her, she loved him, he was very smart even though he tried to hide it and...who was she kidding, she loved him, that was all that mattered.

They'd been playing some sort of game for the past three months, it was time to finally get over their childish behavior and either get together or move on. Although, after the small arguement they'd had the previous day, she wasn't sure they could act like adults.

"Did you just called me a stubborn brat?" Katie asked James with a glare, she knew she could be stubborn but he didn't have to call her a brat. To his credit, James looked like he regretted his words the second they'd left his lips.

"Yes but I meant it with love?" If she hadn't been so mad, Katie would have burst out laughing, James could be so cute. Shaking her head, she tried her best to look intimidating and rested her hands on her hips while continuing her glare.

"I think you're the one being stubborn, I've already told you to leave me alone and yet, here you are. Again! What will it take for you to understand there will never be an 'us' and leave me alone?" She asked not really wanting him to answer. If she was completely honest, she wanted there to be a 'them' but he was right, she was being a stubborn brat.

"I'm not being stubborn, I'm just not willing to give up, there's a big difference." Something in Katie softened, he didn't want to give up on her. "Katie, I didn't mean to hurt you, I care about you too much to ever want to cause you pain. Look, I made a mistake when I kissed you that night, I shouldn't have done it." Whatever had softened in Katie, immediately hardened again, that was not what she was expecting to hear.

"Well, that clears everything up." After knowing Katie all his life, James should have expected the punch to his gut but he didn't. Wrapping his arms around his bruised abdomen, he gasped for air, she'd sure gotten stronger.

"You. Didn't. Let. Me finish." James muttered between breaths, while bent over in pain. He didn't understand why Kendall worried about her, she could defend herself perfectly fine.

"Oh, there's more?" She asked kneeling to stare at his eyes. "Please, continue." If James didn't love her so much, he would have thrown in the towel, raised the white flag, called the cops even but he wanted to make her see, to see that they could make it work. After a couple of minutes, he was able to stand again and gave her his own glare. Just because he loved her didn't mean he couldn't be mad at her childish antics.

"First of all, owie, that really hurt!" Katie rolled her eyes but didn't apologize. "What I was going to say before you ruined a perfectly good set of abs, is that I should have waited for a better moment to do what I'd been wanting to do for months." Katie tried to look indifferent but James saw the slight blush cross her cheeks, whether from embarrassment for the punch or his words, he didn't know.

"You.. wanted to kiss me?" James couldn't fight off a smile as she nervously rubbed her arm.

"Yes, I did. The minute the clock struck midnight and you turned eighteen, I knew I had to ask you out and finally kiss you for reals, not just because of a dare but I was waiting for the right moment." He took a step closer and held her hands, glad she didn't pull away. "When I kiss you, I feel like I can see through your exterior and know what you're feeling, you know this. And I've never felt that with any other girl before."

"Not even Annabella?" It's not that she was lacking self confidence but she knew Annabella was incredibly beautiful compared to her simple beauty. Heck, most of the girls James dated were incredibly attractive, not that he was shallow but he tended to fall for goddesses.

"Especially Annabella, she's just a friend I used to try and forget our kiss." He watched her narrow her eyes. "I didn't mean to use her, it just happened and I apologized to her." He relaxed when she nodded. If there was something Katie hated more than anything, it was people using others for their own benefit. "She understood and encouraged me to fight for your forgiveness."

"I'm not as beautiful as her, are you sure you want to date me?"

"Everyone has their definition of beauty and to me, you're the most beautiful any girl could be." This time Katie gave him a full smile and started to think they could actually make this work.

"Does this mean you won't flirt with girls anymore?"

"Can we compromise and say I won't kiss other girls anymore?" The minute the words left his mouth, he realized he shouldn't have been joking about this yet, the glare she gave him confirmed his fears.

"You're unbelievable!" Katie shouted as she pulled away from him and started to walk away.

"No, wait! I didn't mean it like that, you're taking this the wrong way!" He shouted as he went after her. "I was just kidding, I-" He stopped talking when a tall brunette got in front of him.

"James Diamond, you remember me?" She asked the confused looking James. Katie stopped walking when she didn't hear him talking anymore and turned to see James talking with some brunette. Shaking her head, Katie kept walking. James Diamond would never change.

He'd tried calling her but she ignored his calls, deleted his voicemails and texts messages without bothering to find out what they said. She knew she was acting like a little kid but her heart was on the line, she had to protect it from getting hurt, again.

Tip Number Seven: If the journey is painful, it will be worthwhile in the end, keep going.

Katie rolled her eyes, it was definitely painful. She sat up when she heard the doorbell. Knowing her brother was out whale watching with the guys, she quickly made her way downstairs while she wondered who it could be at nine in the morning. Looking through the peep hole, all she was able to see was a large arrangement of flowers. She backed away from the door and thought back to all the horror movies she'd seen with Carlos, this was an all too familiar scene.

"Who is it?" She asked looking for something to defend herself with, just in case.

"Delivery for Katie Knight." Biting her lower lip, she wondered if maybe James was trying to make amends for his stupid joke. Deciding that she was being silly, she figured nothing too bad could be behind the door and opened it. She watched in awe at the amazing flower arrangement, it had lillies, daisies, carnations and some others she didn't recognize but no roses. It had to be from James, he knew she didn't like roses.

"They're beautiful, who are they from?" There was no way she could turn them away, not even if they were from James.

"From me, actually." Katie looked up at the voice as the delivery man lowered the flowers. Her eyes widened at the familiar face, not a delivery man.

"Dak Zevon?"

So... how was it? Please let me know your thoughts and if there's something I can improve on. I'll update soon! Thank you!
