Chapter 19

June had Justine curl her hair for her date. She was wearing a black lace dress that hugged her body. She had black wedges that had a strap around her ankle. She had pretty natural makeup on and then her hair was being curled into loose curls. (www . polyvore dot com / cgi/set?id=57487545)

"Why so fancy?" Justine asked. June smiled.

"Well Dak said that he had something important to ask me so he wanted to take me to a really nice restaurant. We're going to Chez Fancy." June excitedly.

"What do you think he's going to say?" Justine asked.

"Well I think he's gonna ask me to be his girlfriend, but I'm not positive. I'm really excited though." June said happily. Justine finished the last curls.

"Okay you're done." Justine said. June stood up and turned to her sister and gave her a hug.

"Thank you." June said.

"No problem. I'm so happy for you!" Justine said. June grabbed her phone and looked at the time.

"It's almost 6, I better go." June said. She grabbed her purse and put her phone in it. She walked out the door and down to the lobby. She was stopped by someone.

"June?" James asked. June looked up at him.

"Hey James." June said.

"Why are you dressed so fancy?" James asked.

"I'm going on a date with Dak." June said.

"I thought you said you guys were casual?" James asked. June shrugged.

"I guess not, he said he had something to tell me and we are going to Chez Fancy." June said. James rubbed his chin and nodded.

"That's a pretty nice place." James said. June nodded.

"Yeah I know. Oh there he is. See you later." June said. She walked over to him.

"Hey Dak." June said. She leaned up and kissed him.

"Hey June. You look amazing." Dak said as he held her hands and stepped back.

"Thanks, you look good too." June said. He was wear a tux. Dak leaned forward and gave her another kiss.

"Ready to go?" Dak asked. June nodded. Dak took her hand and they walked out to his car. What they didn't know was that James was following in his own car.

June and Dak got into the restaurant and Dak had a reservation. They were taken to a little table for 2. Dak pulled out her seat for her and June sat down. Dak ordered food for both of them. June and Dak were talking about all sorts of stuff. Their childhood, their careers, family stories, anything they wanted to talk about. They had just finished their food when Dak took June's hands.

"So June I bet you're wondering what my important thing I wanted to say is." Dak asked. June smiled.

"That I am." June said. Dak laughed.

"Well, I think you are extremely beautiful, you have an amazing personality, and you are one of the coolest people I know. So would you-" Dak was cut off by someone pouring spaghetti on him. Dak stood up. He was covered in sauce. June stood up too.

"Oh my gosh are you okay?" June asked. They both turned to the person who did it. It was a waiter.

"I'm so sor-" The waiter started in a fake French accent, but June cut him off.

"Wait." She said. She ripped off the fake mustache. "James?"

"Uh." James said, not able to say much else as he rubbed the raw skin where his fake mustache was. Dak wiped some of the spaghetti off.

"James? As in your ex James?" Dak asked. June nodded. "Listen June, you're a great girl, but no girl is worth a crazy ex boyfriend. I'm outta here." Dak said and left. June watched him leave., her back to James

"June." James said. June turned and looked back at him. He saw the tears in her dark brown eyes and instantly regretted what he did. Yes he was jealous, but making June cry was something he couldn't believe he did.

"June I-" James started, but June just shook her head and wiped a tear away and turned around and ran, as fast as she could in heels, out of the restaurant.

James watched her leave and sighed. He knew he shouldn't have done that, but the jealously got the best of him. He set a hundred dollars down on the table and ran out of the restaurant. He looked around and saw June on her phone. She sighed frustrated and then hung up and sat down on the bench with her head in her hands. James took a deep breath and walked over.

James tapped her shoulder. She looked up with messed up makeup and a tear stained face and glared at him and stuck her head back in her hands.

"Do you need a ride home?" James asked.

"I don't want to talk to you." June said into her hands.

"Come on, I want to make sure you get home safe." James said. "It looks like whoever you called didn't answer."

"I can take a taxi." June said.

"Don't waste your money, let me take you home." James said. He held out his hand. June waited for a minute and then finally sighed. She didn't take his hand and just stood up.

"Fine." June said. They started walking and James put his hand on her back. She stepped away. "I'm sad, not disabled." James took his hand back and she followed him to the car. He opened her door and she got in. James walked around and got in the other side and started the car.

"Why?" June asked. James looked at her for a second. "Why did you do that?" James sighed.

"Why did you go out with Dak?" James asked.

"Because me and Dak were practically already dating! He was going to ask me to be his girlfriend, which, if you didn't get the hint by my tears," June said as she pointed to her face, "I was going to say yes too. And now I can't because of you." June said angrily, new tears pouring. James pulled out of the parking lot and onto the road.

"Kendall said that you're afraid of commitment-" James started

"Kendall said that?" June asked.

"Yeah."

"Note to self, kill Kendall." June said. James smiled. Leave it to June to crack a joke with tears streaming down her face.

"Anyway, why won't you go out with me? Why will you commit to Dak and not me?" James asked.

"Uh you had your chance." June snapped.

"That was almost 3 years ago. Why can't you give me a chance now?" James asked.

"I did 3 weeks ago! Remember, you asked me to go to dinner and see Kiss and Tell but you spent the whole time spying on Katie?" June exclaimed. James winced.

"It was you I asked?" James asked, afraid of the answer.

"Yes! See you go out with so many girls all the time you don't even remember! Just last week you were in love with that girl in Malibu!" June yelled.

"You knew about that?" James asked as he pulled into the Palmwods.

"Everyone knew! I don't even get why you did all that in the restaurant. It's clear that you don't like me. We don't even like each other like that!" June yelled. She stormed out of the car and into the Palmwoods.

James turned off the car and ran after her. He saw her heading for the elevators. He ran up to her and grabbed her hand and turned June around. He grabbed her waist and closed the space between them with a kiss. June stood still, shocked. James pulled away.

"I love you June. I love you more than I've ever loved anyone else. I didn't mean it any of the times I said I didn't love you or didn't like you or didn't want you or any of that. I'm absolutely, hopelessly in love you with you June Cooper." James said. Carlos, Kendall, Logan, Jo, Camille, and Katie were all watching with their jaws dropped, but June and James were only focused on each other.

"I-" June started, but was cut off by her phone. She was thankful for the distraction and pulled it out of her purse. She answered the phone. "Hello. What? Slow down. Okay I'm coming."

"I have to go. I'm sorry." June said. She didn't know if she should do something, or just run off. She quickly leaned up and kissed him on the cheek and ran to the elevators. She quickly got to her room.

"You will never believe what happened." June said to her sister once she closed the door behind her.
