Chapter 3:
-James's P.O.V.
Ok, so I did call Kaitlin my soulmate…don't ask me how I knew. I wouldn't be able to tell you. I just had this feeling. Maybe it was the way that I, the man known for his confidence, suddenly was at a loss for words and rambled for the first time in my life. Maybe it was the way my palms were sweating and I felt an inner trembling begin to shake me. Maybe it was how my breathing quickened and my heart sped up. I honestly can't tell you what it was, but I felt it. And whatever it was, I liked it. I began to plan my night out. God…what to do to get this girl? I've never felt this way before. Ever. I know. I'll call Logan. Logan Henderson…one word to describe him? Flirt. He'll know exactly what to do. I dialed his number.
"Hey James."
"Listen Log, I have a problem. Well…not exactly a problem…more of a…change. But I need help," I said, talking a mile a minute.
"James, slow down. I can't help you if I can't understand you."
I told Logan everything. I even told him how I barely knew this girl and yet I felt something that I've never experienced before.
"Dude, be yourself. You're really good at that. Nobody can be James Maslow better than you."
"You're right Logan. What do I do with the nervousness, though? I've never been nervous in front of a girl before…this is the first time ever."
"Take a deep breath. In and out. Close your eyes and remember that she's a person too. If you put things into that perspective, you won't feel nervous anymore."
"Thanks Logan."
"No problem. So tell me, does this Kaitlin girl happen to have any friends or a twin sister by chance?" Logan inquired. I could hear him smiling through his voice.
"Log, I have no idea. I just met her…well literally ran into her today, ok? I'll let you know one day when I know her better," I replied with a slight snap in my voice.
"Hey, no need to get mad lover-boy."
And after that comment, I hung up. Sometimes Logan could be a real pain in the ass.
I began to pick out my wardrobe. Even though it was only two-thirty in the afternoon, I really had to make tonight perfect so I could reel Kaitlin in and so she could see the real James Maslow. Not the funny guy on the television who's obsessed with his looks.
Sighing, I decided to go with a pair of skinny jeans and a white tee-shirt with a black guitar print on it. It showed my muscles pretty well. Girls like guys who are fit, right? I picked a pair of black Vans. Finally, since we were going at night and it might be cooler, I grabbed a black zip-up. Outfit, check.
Movie…what are we going to see? I think we should see something scary. That'll have her in my arms the entire time. I've got it! We could go see "Nightmare on Elm Street". Perfect. I smiled as I thought about holding Kaitlin. Movie, check.
All that's left is the wait. Ugh, time is going to move so slowly. I know it right now. I flicked on my computer and decided to check my MySpace messages for awhile. That'll keep me busy. Kaitlin kept crossing my mind. How am I going to survive another four hours? I sighed and continued replying to obsessed fan messages. How exciting…
