Chapter 16: Spending Too Much Time With The Boys
Katrina was wearing a white halter dress that stopped at her knees. How she got it, she didn't know since she didn't own it. She had white high-heeled boots, laced up. Looking around, she noticed that she was standing in Penny's Pet Care headquarters, but all of the building materials were gone. It was still the plain white area. She glanced down at her feet, finding fog hiding the wooden floor. Turning around, she found out she was alone.
Suddenly, the elevator dinged and Katrina looked over at it. The doors opened and more fog spilled out from it as a figure stepped out. Once the fog cleared, she could tell it was Logan. He was shirtless again, but wearing white skinny jeans. He kept walking toward her. His face showed desire more than anything.
Katrina backed up away from him until her back hit the wall. She took a breath and Logan was right in front of her. He leaned in and whispered in her ear, "I hate it when James flirts with you. I hate how we always get interrupted when we're alone. But I love the way you make me feel." He pulled away from her ear to lock eyes with her.
Both teens leaned in, their eyes shutting right before their lips met. Their lips began to move as they deepened the kiss, Logan pushing Katrina up against the wall with his body. Her hands curled up in his hair as his tongue found its way into her mouth.
They broke apart for air. Staring into each other's eyes, they breathed deeply as though each one would be their last. Logan's hands were placed on either side of her, palms against the wall, to keep himself steady. Katrina's hands left Logan's hair so they could explore his chest. She smirked as his breathing staggered. He leaned in to capture her lips once again when they heard someone clear their throat. Their heads snapped to look over to Katrina's right.
Leaning his shoulder up against the wall was Kendall, wearing the exact same thing as Logan. He was smirking at the couple. Katrina screamed and jumped from the shock of seeing him, but Logan didn't look surprised.
"You know," Kendall began, "You've got some competition. You've met Camille, right?" He pointed at the elevator and it opened. Camille came running out, got right up to the couple, grabbed Logan and pulled him away from Katrina. She dragged him back into the elevator and the doors shut after them.
Katrina was left with her mouth hanging open. She stayed that way for a couple seconds before turning her head to Kendall, "Damn you, Kendall Knight."
"Don't blame him," a voice to her left rang out. Katrina's head swiveled around to face that way. Carlos was leaning his shoulder up against the wall too. He was wearing the same as the other two boys, but still had his signature helmet on. "He's just preparing you for the worst."
"But it's not going to happen," Katrina insisted, "James told me that Logan doesn't like her."
"Maybe," a third voice spoke up. Katrina turned to face in front of her to find James dangerously close to her. Not surprisingly, he was dressed the same as his friends. "Then again, maybe not. I might have told you that so when your heart gets crushed by him choosing Camille instead, you'll come running to me for comfort."
James began to get closer to Katrina. Her eyes went wide. She looked to either side of her to find that Carlos and Kendall had disappeared, leaving Katrina with James.
Suddenly, James grabbed her and pulled her towards him. Before Katrina could react, James smashed his mouth onto hers.
Katrina gasped for air as she sat up straight. Looking around, she recognized that she was still in a sleeping bag on the floor in Katie's room. She grabbed her pillow and planted her face into it, falling back. "Ow," she mumbled into her pillow when her head hit the floor.
Luckily for Katrina, Brandon joined the group for the rest of the week. Unluckily, it meant that the guys kept their shirts on so they wouldn't tempt Brandon, no matter how much he insisted he was fine with it. By the end of Friday, the walls were set up, the doors were put in and someone was hired to put in plumbing and electrical stuff during the next week.
On Saturday, Katrina and Brandon were going without the guys because they had to report in to Gustavo.
"So," Brandon began, "Just one look at four shirtless guys and suddenly your nightmares are gone?"
"Yes," Katrina looked like she was conflicted between being happy or frustrated, "But every single dream now, I start making out with Logan and end up with one of the others! Last night, James attacked my lips and then Carlos went for my neck! I've been spending WAY too much time with them."
Brandon started laughing, but stopped when Katrina glared at him.
"Sorry," Brandon tried to hide his smile, "But it seems as though you don't mind them." She continued her glaring. "Well, it's a good thing that we're not seeing them today." The two teens got into the elevator, the doors closing after them.
"Right," Katrina agreed, "The only thing we have to do today is check over the walls to make sure they're sturdy and then go shopping for paint supplies."
"Are we gonna start painting today?"
"Probably not. The guys will want to help with that." Brandon smirked at Katrina's comment. She rolled her eyes, "Not that I care."
"You do."
"We're going to start painting today then."
"Whatever you say."
Katrina stuck her tongue out at him right as the doors opened on their floor. They walked out only to find a note on a wall. Furrowing her brow, Katrina reached out and grabbed it.
"Building closed for executive party. You can't work today. Griffin," Katrina read out loud. She sighed, "I totally forgot about that."
"Wait," Brandon spoke, "You knew about this?"
"I'm invited," Katrina told him, "It's for the release of Big Time Rush's first album." When she realized what she said, she facepalmed. "Ugh, they're probably going to be there."
"Skip it," Brandon suggested, "You don't have anything nice to wear anyways." Something seemed to click in his mind, "OR we can take your credit card and go shopping for something nice. After all, this is a business party!" He gave Katrina a large toothy grin.
"I'm skipping it," Katrina crushed his dreams.
He pouted, "Come on! It's been ages since we've been to a party!"
"Do you remember the last time we went to a party?"
"I should have kept you away from all of that sugar." They both shivered at the thought. "But that's not going to happen here! It's an executive party. Everyone's probably going to be in suits and dresses."
Katrina groaned, "You're not going to budge on this, are you?"
"No!"
"How about to fulfill your party needs, we'll have a party here the day before we open?" Katrina compromised. "This way, we can celebrate it, you can get your party fix and I can get my break from the guys."
"Deal! Since we're not doing anything and I don't want to be anywhere near Gustavo when you reject his invitation, I'm going home."
Katrina grimaced, "Do I have to tell him?"
"I really don't want to be you right now." The elevator opened for them and they got in, Katrina pressing the button for Rocque Records while Brandon pressed the one for the ground floor.
It wasn't long before Katrina had to get off. She turned around to see Brandon wave to her before the doors closed off her exit. Taking a deep breath, she made her way through the hallways until she reached one of the practice rooms. Gustavo was ordering people around while Kelly was checking something on her phone.
Katrina walked up to Kelly, thinking it was going to be easier to tell her, "Hey Kelly."
"Oh, hi Katrina," Kelly looked at the teen, "Are you coming to the party tonight?"
Before Katrina could respond, Gustavo yelled at her, "CAT!"
Katrina turned around, "Did you just call me Kat?"
"Yes," Gustavo walked up to her, "But with a 'c'. Because you're stubborn and vicious like a cat. You've also got those dogs chasing after you, like a cat. So, listen. I know that you're an executive and all that, but I really don't want you to be here. You'll just attract the dogs."
Katrina blinked, "I wasn't going to come anyway."
"Good." Gustavo went back to directing where everything should go.
Katrina turned back to Kelly, "I guess I'll be going then."
It was at that point that she overheard four voices yell out from the hallway, "I smell party!" That was the only warning she had before Carlos, Logan, James and Kendall ran into the room, looking around with grins on their faces. They waved at Katrina and she knew that she wouldn't be able to get away without questions later.
Kendall was the first to speak, "What's going on?"
"PLEASE TELL US IT'S A PARTY!" James and Carlos added.
"It is the Big Time Rush party celebrating the making of your first album," Kelly explained. The boys began to cheer.
"No," Gustavo interrupted, "You're not invited." Katrina had to hide her laughter with her hand at the disappointment on the boys' faces.
"What? Why?" They asked together.
"One," Gustavo told them, "It's a classy party, for executives only." Katrina watched as James and Carlos noticed the buffet table and they stuffed their faces into it. "Two, I don't need dogs around, playing with their food."
"We don't play with food," Kendall and Logan insisted.
"James and Carlos, turn around," Kelly ordered. They did as they were told, proving Gustavo's point, as Carlos had two carrots up his nose and James had one with sushi for eyes and tomatoes in his mouth. Katrina shook her head, a smile appearing on her face. Once they realized what they did, the food began to fall off their faces.
"Wait wait wait," Carlos got the attention on him, "How can you have a Big Time Rush party without Big Time Rush?"
"You will be here," Kelly assured them, "In spirit. And in cutout form." Gustavo gestured over to the corner where a cardboard cutout of the guys was placed.
"Why is Katrina here?" Logan asked them, "I'm not complaining, but I'm curious."
"She was, technically, invited," Gustavo answered, "Because she's an executive in the building."
"And her invitation states that she can bring someone," Kelly added.
Katrina groaned when all boys turned to stare at her with smirks on their faces.
"I already told them no," Katrina spoke before any of them could ask her to bring them. Their faces fell again.
Kendall turned back to the adults, "Well, we're staying." All of them crossed their arms to prove their point.
"FINE!" Gustavo yelled at them.
"FINE!" The boys yelled back.
"FINE!" Gustavo walked over to where a box with bright lights was being pulled into the room, "You can stay. But do NOT go in my super party fun box!" Gustavo and Kelly left the room.
Katrina raised an eyebrow as the boys stepped towards the box, "This sounds suspicious."
"Oh come on," James told her, "You gotta admit that you're curious."
She stared at the box for a couple of seconds before admitting, "Okay, yeah I am." The boys smiled at her as she joined them before all five teenagers stepped into the box.
"OW! I'm right here!"
"Sorry!"
"HEY! Who pulled my hair!"
"THERE'S NO ROOM!"
"Who wants to bet that when this opens, Logan and Katrina will be making out?"
"JAMES!"
"Okay, I guess they're not."
"This would be better if we could actually SEE!"
"OW! MY HEAD!"
"I am REALLY glad I'm short."
"Okay, whose arm am I grabbing?"
"That would be me Carlos."
"Sorry, Katrina."
"Most girls would be really happy in this position, but I just-" Katrina broke off her sentence and then picked up a new one, "Okay, WHO JUST SQUEEZED MY BUTT?" Her answer was silence. "I'm going to find out!" More silence. "I'm going to kill all of you unless I get a name!"
"My money's on Logan."
"DON'T KILL ME!"
Before Katrina could do anything, the box tipped and there were five screams as they all were squeezed together to the side of the box.
"Is everyone okay?" Kendall's voice rang out. The other boys answered that they were, but there was silence from the one girl. "Katrina?" When there still wasn't an answer, the boys began feeling around for her.
"Okay, I am NOT Katrina!"
"Sorry, Logan."
"You seem to be saying that a lot, Carlos."
"I think I found her," James's voice rang out in the dark. There was a silence for a second before he continued, "Yep. Unless there's another girl in the box, this is definitely Katrina."
"Did you just feel her up?" Logan sounded really angry.
"Good thing that Katrina's unconscious otherwise James would be dead." Kendall noted.
"When we get out of here," Logan started, "I'm going to-"
"Hey," Carlos interrupted, "The box stopped moving." The boys were silent as they heard something metal coming from outside the box.
Suddenly, the side that they were leaning up against opened and the boys stumbled out, James's arms were wrapped around Katrina so she wouldn't fall. When he saw what he was doing and Logan glaring at him, he shoved the unconscious Katrina into Logan's arms. The boys looked around and noticed that they were in 2J.
Kendall groaned, "I can't believe we fell for that." His friends nodded their heads.
(A/N): James needs to learn to keep his hands to himself. Will Katrina be okay? What's going to happen at the party when Logan has to deal with Camille, Katrina AND Mercedes? And what is Katrina like when she has too much sugar? You'll just have to wait for the next chapter! It might be up later because I'm in a very creative mood… A note for those of you waiting for Katrina and Logan to kiss, it might be a while. They have to deal with Camille between them. It's why I gave you that dream of hers, to tide you over until then. You never know, it might not happen. I might decide to put Katrina with handsy James…. Or maybe the leadership role Kendall has will turn her on…. Or maybe Carlos's fun attitude will bring her to love the puppylike side of him…. Or maybe she'll be with the OC if he gets voted in…. Or maybe she'll wait in the background for Camille and Logan's relationship to hit the rocks. You'll just have to keep reading to find out!
And here are the choices for the voting contest again:
1. A girl bully.
2. A boyfriend for Brandon.
3. A stray animal.
4. A boyfriend for Katrina.
