This chapter is mostly Arianna and James but the two finally get together. Just to go over it again I do not own the guys of BTR just the other characters.

"You go home late," Staci said when I walked through the door.

"Staci I really don't want to talk to you right now. I'm exhausted and I'm going to bed." I said. But what I really wanted to say was 'I hate you so much Staci. Don't even pretend you don't know why.'

I walked up to my room, the master bedroom, of the mansion my parents bought my on my nineteenth birthday. It was very elegant with white walls, hardwood floor, and black furniture. I couldn't take in the beauty of my room tonight. All I could think of was Kendall looking right past me and at my friend. Then I remembered my talk with James, it made my heart skip a beat. I pulled out my iPhone and texted him back "Good night. I'll see you tomorrow." What I really wanted to say was 'I can't wait to see you tomorrow.'

I woke up the next morning feeling better than I did the prior day. I went to take a shower and found another note from my dad on a mirror.

"Ari, Staci and I have left already. I thought you could use more sleep. The keys to my truck are on the counter. I'll see you soon. Love Dad."

Just the opposite of what I wanted, Staci on set. Throughout my whole shower I could only think of her flirting away with the guys. I hated her for that. Two days ago Staci was like a sister to me and now I could only think of her as a back stabbing jerk.

I arrived on set a half hour later and was rushed into hair and make-up and then wardrobe for dress rehearsal. They threw me in this cowgirl get up; skinny jeans, plaid shirt, and cowboy boots. It would have looked cute, on a three year old at Halloween. I was just glad my hair wasn't in pigtails, but curled loosely and hanging over my shoulder. They took the country girl thing a little too far.

"Hey look I'm a cowboy," Carlos shouted when he saw me in the hallway. "I get to go see the bull later. I'm just so excited they made my character ride one."

"You're so crazy Carlos. In a good way. But still very crazy. Wait you're not riding that thing today are you?"

"Yup, I need to get some practice. It's not some big mean bull though. Not like your horse."

"Do me a favor and don't hurt yourself. Can you save that for after filming or just not do it," I asked him.

"I won't Arianna. You don't need to worry about me."

I walked outside to where the fair was set up. It was really coming along. If I didn't know it was a parking lot I really would have thought it was a fair. I saw a popcorn stand sitting next to a cotton candy stand. There was a carousel, a ferris wheel, a ball toss, and many other attractions. It was nothing like the fair my dad took me to as a child back in Pennsylvania but it was really close. I wandered through the set up taking it all in. I walked by the stands all of which were up and running for rehearsal that day, even the rides were running.

"Hey cowgirl," a voice from behind me shouted.

I turned around seeing James walk up to me. "Hey. The set is great. It reminds me of the fairs my dad used to take me and Staci to." I cringed when I said her name. She was such a backstabber.

"It is pretty amazing. I know I don't know you or anything but what's wrong with you and Staci? She showed up with your dad today."

"Nothing. I just can't stand that she's a huge flirt. By the end of the week she'll have all of you wrapped around her manicured fingers. Begging her to date you. She's such a man eater. Excuse my horrible mouth." I said.

"Nah she's not my type. I'd sooner drink toilet water than beg her to date me. You really blew me away yesterday in the studio. Carlos was right you are really good."

"So what is your type James? And thanks."

"You are," he said kissing me.

It was a quick, shy, warm kiss. Yet long enough to make me feel like I was flying. I wanted it to last longer than just a moment so my lips could stay on his. His lips were warm and he smelt amazing. Like laundry detergent and a faint scent of cologne I just couldn't think of the name.

"Is that right? So to you Staci is?"

"Like what you said a man eater. She already has Logan and Kendall wrapped around her fingers. I'm sorry about the whole Kendall thing. I had I feeling you liked him. But trust me I'm not stupid like him."

"I hope not James. I can't stand to have my heart broken again. I've always only dated stupid guys. It's nice knowing you're not stupid," I said kissing him on the cheek.

"So I take it you…um feel the same way then?"

"James I was stupid not to notice you yesterday. I kind of looked at the first guy and said he's going to be mine by the end of the week. Sadly you were in the back. I wish you would have been right up front. Then the both of us didn't need to be so miserable yesterday. Well miserable until we met later…"

He cut me off with a kiss, this time much longer than the last. His lips tasted like orange juice and Chap Stick. They were surprisingly smooth, and I could feel light stubble brush against my chin. Again he took me flying through the skies with him. Maybe I should have looked around better yesterday then go straight to Kendall. I was happy there in his arms. They were strong and his body was warm. I felt the heat pulsating off of him the whole time.

"You talk way too much, Arianna." He said when he pulled away. "I like that you're not afraid to open up. It's sexy in its own little way."

"As much as I love this, I think we should go get ready with the rest of them." I really didn't want this moment to end. I loved being with James next to the french-fry stand.

Rehearsal flew by rather quickly. I didn't even realize it was now ten o'clock at night. I guess time really does fly when you're having fun. I didn't realize just how much we had gotten done that day until I was reminded by Staci.

"I can't believe you ran through the whole show today. I just wish I could come with you and your dad the next few days but I have to go back to Pennsylvania. My sister's basketball team made it to states and I told her I would be there." She said once we got back home.

I knew I should have been happy but staying in my house alone scared me out just a little bit. Yes there was a security system but I was still going to be alone in a huge house. I also had James as my boyfriend now so there was nothing I needed to worry about if she was on set.

"Can you give Logan my cell number? I haven't given it to him yet and I'd really like to talk to him while I'm back in PA."

"Sure I'll do that."

My phone lit up with a text from James. "You didn't say goodbye." "Sorry I needed to get Staci back to my place to pack, she's headed home tomorrow." I replied. He didn't need the details I could tell him that stuff tomorrow.

I know this one was slightly shorter than the others. Please review. I'm thinking of having Staci's plane or car crash, but I don't know if I want her to survive or not. Or if I should keep her in the story.
