Author's note: I don't own the characters/people appearing in this story. Peta doesn't exist in real life but I got inspired by Peta Murgatroyd and James exist in the television series Big Time Rush as James Diamond, and this story is just my imagination. So yeah, don't own these two.

We kept hugging and I felt James putting his hand on my back, rubbing it slightly. I let go of Sharna and looked around if there was any reporter nearby, there wasn't.

'Thanks.', I whispered to Sharna and she left.

I turned to James and bit my lip holding back a few tears. He hugged me tight and I soon felt better.

'I know we didn't win this show...', he started and held me away on arm length,

'...but we met again and we won something even better. So please don't be too upset about it. I am too but life goes on and we have a lot to look forward to.'

I nodded and smiled slightly.

I'm really glad to have him in my life, he really knows how to make someone feel better.

I kissed him shortly and laid my head on his chest.

'You know what? We'll just go home and celebrate because I'm really proud of our dances and of us in general we've made it so far and tomorrow we are gonna show them that we should have won, okay?'

'Okay. Just gotta go change real quick.'

'Okay see you later darling.', he replied, kissing me shortly.

I went to my dressing room and changed into my baggy shorts, a tank top and a hoody with 'Team Jeta' written on it. I pulled my hair up in a bun, grabbed my bag and went outside and over to James' dressing room.

I knocked and he opened the door while putting on his shirt.

'Love that hoodie!', he said winking and kissed me on the cheek.

'Ok now let's go.' He grabbed my hand and we walked over to our cars.

I followed him to his house and we got out without being photographed, at least we hoped for it.

'Just imagine somebody snapping a picture right now.'

'Oh god they would just make up something really stupid.'

'And then hate on us because 'how can she dare to go with him when they just started dating?!' .'

'I know right?! It's just ridiculous sometimes.'

He led me inside and we talked and laughed the whole time.

'Champagne or Wine?'

'Whatever you want!'

'Oh come on Peta. I want a decision now!'

'Ok fine Wine.', I said and slapped him playfully.

I followed him into his open kitchen and he turned around and lifted me onto the counter.

He grabbed two glasses, gave me one and poured wine into both of them. I took a sip and smiled at him.

'Here's to us.', I said quietly.

'Here's to showing them what they missed out on!', James said a little louder and put the glass down, then he took mine out of my hand, put it down and lifted me off the counter.

He took my hand and led me over to the couch. I sat down and he lighted the fireplace before sitting down next to me.

His couch was L-shaped so I sat on the short side, stretching out my legs while he laid down with his head on my lap.

I stroked his hair until he turned around to lay on his back, looking at me. He suddenly started smiling and I was a little irritated.

'Why you smiling?'

'Remember how we always told everyone that we definitely aren't dating and that we probably won't for some time?'

'Yeah what's funny about that?'

'Everyone knew that we'd end up together, the only ones who didn't believe it were us. I just think it's kind of funny when you look at us now.'

'I know but honestly...you always answered this question first. I never thought about this the same as you. I would have loved to say yes every time they asked about us dating, we weren't and with your answers, it didn't seem like we ever would.'

He sat up and became a little more serious.

'You should have told me you know?'

'Like what? 'James I want to date you and I don't like it that you answer this question first'?!'

'I don't know...I just...didn't notice anything. You hid it very well.'

'It would have just been a distraction for both of us.'

'But it could have been really great too...'

'It would have made no difference, I mean we almost already acted like a couple.'

'I know but still...I would have loved doing things like this', he stopped and kissed me shortly, 'without it being part of a dance.'

'I would have too but seriously we would have been so distracted and learning the dances would have been more difficult.'

'If you say so...'

'You know what's funny too? Every partner I have on Dancing on Sunset is my boyfriend, with no exception. And you know what's funny too? It never was the truth, except with you now.'

'Guess I'm the first exception.', he answered smiling and kissed me on the head.

I leaned on his shoulder but he carefully pushed me away. I looked at him questioning. '

Just let me move over.' He stood up and sat down on the other side of me again. I cuddled up to him and he stroked my hair and back.
