Chapter 5: A Date
A week later James and I were still happy and we had told Kelly and Gustavo about us dating. They told us what they told Kendall and Logan when they first came out. They didn't want us coming out publicly until our third album was out and we were done with the tour. We understood that they loved BTR as much as we did and they didn't want anything to ruin our chances of a third album.
We hadn't told our parents yet. I was scared about what they would think. They weren't as open minded as Mrs. Knight. She was happy that Kendall was gay and proud of him. I am sure she would join PFFLAG if Kendall didn't threaten to disown her if she did. He didn't want her marching in the streets claiming to have a gay son just yet. Gustavo didn't want people knowing we were gay just yet. I wasn't sure what my parents would say. Being gay had never come up when I was growing up.
Up until recently I had never considered being gay. Sure, I had had a crush on James for awhile now, but I never put much thought into I. I considered it a man crush as Logan had called it when he first realized he liked Kendall. Only thing it wasn't a man crush it was a real crush. Over the months my feelings for James had gotten stronger, and now here we were dating.
I don't know what James thought of telling his parents. I knew Mrs. Diamond was a hard person to read, and James hardly talked to his dad ever since they split up. Sure, after the divorce he visited his dad, but that didn't mean he liked it. His parents were both hard to read. Before the divorce no one had realized Mr. Diamond wasn't happy. I was a little more worried about what Mrs. Diamond would say. Her word was law and what she said happened. She could tell James not to date me and he would. He had dumped his prom date because of her. That was one of my biggest fears right there. I didn't want her to ruin what I had with James.
James and I were sitting down by the pool together. We were sitting in separate chairs because we didn't want people talking. Camille and Lucy were the only two who knew about us and we asked them not to tell anyone. They had agreed like they had with Kendall and Logan.
"I've got a question," I said slowly.
"Yeah," James said.
"What would you do if your mom told you to break up with me?" I asked. James turned to look at me shocked.
"What?"
"You know how your mom is. What if she's not happy with us. Would you break up with me if she told you to?" I asked. James stood up and grabbed my hand. He brought me over to a cabana. He pulled me inside and made me sit down.
"I would never break up with you," he said. He sat down next to me and pulled me into a kiss. I melted into him. His kisses were magic and made me weak. "So I was thinking maybe we could go see a movie tonight," he said after a bit.
"Like a date?" I asked shocked.
"Yes a date," James said laughing at me. James and I had never gone on a date together. This was going to be yet another first for us. We weren't out publicly yet, and that was ok. We would just have to be careful on our date. Sure our friends knew, but they knew to keep quiet about us.
"So a movie?" I asked.
"Maybe dinner if that's ok," James said.
"We can't do dinner," I said, "you know Gustavo and Kelly don't want us out just yet," I added bitterly. I really hated that we couldn't just come out. We had to hide and pretend.
"We can have a private dinner," James said, "or go out for a picnic," he added.
"I like the picnic idea, but would we have time for the movie then?" I asked.
"There is this nice spot in the Palm Woods park that is secluded where we can have a little picnic and then go see a movie," James said. I smiled at him. He had thought this through. He really wanted to do this, and so did I. It would be nice to actually go out with my boyfriend.
"I'd love to," I said.
"Great," James said grinning.
We spent the rest of the afternoon by the pool and eventually made our way up to the apartment. Mrs. Knight was at work so everyone was on their own for dinner. Katie was eating over at Tyler's and Kendall and Logan weren't sure what to do for dinner. That was ok though because James and I weren't going to be there. James and I took this as an opportunity to leave for our date.
James and I prepared a few sandwiches for our date and grabbed a basket and a blanket and left our friends to fend for themselves. James led me into the Palm Woods park and to a secluded spot. He laid the blanket out and sat down. He patted the spot next to him. I smiled and set the basket down. I sat down next to him. James scooted closer to me.
"Is this better than some stuffy restaurant?" James asked me. I nodded my head and grabbed our food out.
We started eating as we talked about nothing in particular. We talked about movies and music. We just talked and had a good time. I felt completely at ease with James and he seemed at complete ease with me. We were just perfect for one another.
"So do you still want to go to that movie?" James asked. I didn't want to leave the park, but we had agree to go to a movie. I slowly nodded my head. We packed our things up and headed to the parking lot and shoved our things into the back of the car and got in. James drove us to the theater.
"So any movie in particular that you want to see?" I asked.
"Not really," James said.
"We'll pick one when we get there," I said. James nodded his head. The ride to the theater was filled with mindless chatter about random things that just came to mind. That was what I liked about James. We could talk about anything together.
We arrived at the theater and James told the ticket girl to surprise us with two tickets for one movie. She printed out two tickets and James paid her. We walked into the theater and James looked at the Tickets.
"Left for Dead," James read the tickets.
"I forgot that came out already. I love zombie movies," I said excitedly. James smiled at me and we made our way to the snack counter and got a large popcorn to share and two sodas. We made our way to the theater and got our seats. James settle the popcorn in his lap and we settled into our seats.
"This is nice," James said. I nodded my head. I wanted to leaned against him and let people know we were on a date, but I couldn't. I promised Gustavo we wouldn't come out yet. It sucked. James hand came down over mine on the armrest for a moment. He squeezed my hand as if he had read my mind.
We watched the rest of the movie. It was gory and a little scary and just over all awesome. I love it and James seemed into it too. Halfway through the movie he placed his hand over mine on the arm rest. I knew it was the closest we could get to PDA for now. It wasn't much, but on the inside I was screaming like a girl. He was holding my hand. I know it seemed a bit childish, but hey it was our first date.
We left the theater and made our way back to the car.
"This was great," I said looking at James.
"I know, it was the perfect date," James said.
"I don't know if I'd say perfect, but it was great," I said laughing. James chuckled and shook his head.
We headed back to the Palm Woods. We arrived and the Lobby was empty as was per Bitters rule. We made our way to the Elevator not wanting to deal with him. Once in the elevator James turned to me and smiled.
"I've wanted to kiss you all night," he said.
"What's stopping you now?" I asked grinning. James leaned in and pressed his lips to mine. I loved his kisses. They were just amazing.
We made our way to the apartment. Kendall and Logan were sitting on the couch together. They were watching a movie. I kicked the door shut behind me and they both jumped and turned towards us.
"You scared the shit out of me," Kendall said placing a hand over his heart.
"What you guys watching?" James asked suppressing a laugh.
"Woman in Black," Logan said. He was better at masking his fright than Kendall.
"Well, we're just gonna go to bed," James said yawning. He grabbed my hand and pulled me to our room. Once we were there he turned to me and pushed me against the wall. I gasped as his lips found my neck. I arched my back against the wall.
"Bed," I panted. James laughed against my neck and shook his head. I was no stranger to doing it against a wall or bathroom stall. James and I had done this countless times before.
Tada! So this is just a short little happy chapter. I've got more in store for this. There will be lots of Jarlos and maybe a Kogan chapter if I feel like it. Also I want to say I've started a small sequel to my other Jarlos fic Call Me MAybe. It's a part 2 and the Kogan side of things and it'll focus a bit on the Jagan friendship rather than the Kenlos friendship. So, review and let me know what you think.
Always
