(A/N): I'm totally going against what I wrote in the last chapter's notes by getting this up so fast. It won't usually be this fast. Just be thankful that it's a holiday and the first weekend after school starts, so I don't have much homework yet. Anyways, I have decided to give Logan and Katrina a couple name. Why you might ask? Partly because of what happens in this chapter and partly because I've been wanting to do it for a while. So, Logan and Katrina will now be known as Lorina! It's got a nice roll off the tongue sort of name. So, you Lorina fans will love me and then severely hate me after this. Just giving you a warning. Anyways, thank you to clarissa, Jazzygrl and Milkamoo97 for your reviews! I do not own Big Time Rush. I also don't own the episode Big Time Terror which is not here, but this chapter is part of its timeline. I also don't have the rights to these movies: Must Love Dogs, She's Out Of My League, Marley & Me, A Lot Like Love and Here On Earth. If you haven't watched Marley & Me then you might be a little lost during some of this so I do suggest that you watch that first, but if you can't, then it hopefully won't leave you confused. So, enough of my note, onto the chapter!

Chapter 33: Time Catches Up With You

When Carlos, Logan and Katrina got back to the apartment, James, Kendall and Gustavo were surprisingly gone. Another surprise was that Mrs. Knight and Katie were missing too.

"Isn't dinner supposed to be on the table?" Carlos assumed, running into the kitchen to look for something to eat.

"Where is everyone anyways?" Katrina asked.

Logan picked up a note off a counter and read it for them, "'Went out to dinner. There's some money on the table if you want to order a pizza. We'll be back late. Mrs. Knight.' I'm guessing that's where everyone is."

"Okay, so we order a pizza?" Katrina assumed.

"Or, we can go and find them!" Carlos decided, "I'm going to text James and see if I can join them." He pulled out his phone and started texting. Katrina went over and grabbed the flyer for ordering pizza that was near the money. She started looking through it.

"Not in the mood to go out?" Logan joined her.

"I'm actually in the mood for pizza," Katrina admitted, "I used to get it all the time before I met you guys. Now, I barely ever get it."

"James says we can join them," Carlos announced, "Unless you wanted to stay here."

"I think I'll stay," Katrina replied.

"Me too," Logan agreed. Carlos raises an eyebrow suspiciously at this before grabbing Logan and pulling him out of Katrina's earshot.

"What are you doing?" Carlos asked.

"I'm going to stay and have pizza and watch a movie with Katrina," Logan responded like it was obvious.

"That sounds like a date," Carlos told him.

Logan hesitated as he thought that over, "Oh my God, it does. Did I just ask her out by accident when I've been trying to for days?"

"Dude, what about Camille?" Carlos reminded him, "It's not fair to either of them to lead them on. Which do you like more?"

"When did you get so smart about girls?" Logan looked surprised.

"And when did you get so stupid that you can't see the obvious fact that Katrina's into you?"

"But she's-"

"It doesn't matter that she's a model."

"She likes-"

"If you start dating Katrina, then James will back off."

"I don't-"

"Do you want to date Katrina?" Logan gave up trying to deny it and he nodded. "Then stop thinking that you're stuck with Camille and go after Katrina. Once Camille sees you're happy, she'll move on."

"But-"

"GO!" Carlos pushed Logan over to Katrina who was raising her eyebrows in confusion. "I'm just going to go meet up with the others. You two have fun." Carlos raced out of the door, leaving Logan and Katrina alone in the apartment.

An awkward silence settled between them, neither knowing what to say first.

Logan broke the silence, "I'm going to go ahead and check what movies there are." He started walking over to the couch.

"Okay," Katrina still looked confused, "I'll order the pizza. Pepperoni okay?"

"Yep," Logan replied as he plopped down on the couch and grabbed the remote. As Katrina grabbed the phone and placed the pizza order, Logan went through the free movie listings. There wasn't a lot that Mr. Bitters made available free to them.

Katrina hung up the phone and went to go sit beside Logan, "So, what movies are there?"

"There's not very many of the free ones," Logan told her. "Let's see." He clicked the remote and five choices appeared on the screen. "There are five choices: Must Love Dogs, She's Out Of My League, Marley & Me, A Lot Like Love and Here On Earth."

"So, which one did you want to watch?"

Logan shrugged, "They're all basically romance movies, except for Marley & Me, so I don't know."

"Well, why don't you just hold down that arrow button on the remote so it will scroll through the choices and I'll close my eyes and tell you when to stop. We'll watch what it lands on."

"Sounds good to me," Logan held down the button as Katrina closed her eyes.

She waited a few seconds before she called out, "Stop!" He released the button and they both looked on the TV to see which one won. It was Marley & Me.

"A dog movie," Logan commented. "Of course you would pick that. You probably had your eyes open and did that on purpose." He smiled at her to show that he was teasing.

Katrina hit him with a pillow, "I was NOT looking! It's just a random but good coincidence that this was picked!"

"Whatever you say," Logan laughed. "Should we wait for the pizza first?"

"That's probably a good idea," Katrina agreed. "Let's put together some drinks too." Logan nodded as they both got up to get the area ready for watching the movie.

Katrina went into the kitchen as Logan mumbled something under his breath before he left the room. After a second of watching Logan's retreating form, Katrina got two plates from the cabinet and walked over to place them on the coffee table. Going back into the kitchen, she grabbed two glasses and the milk from the fridge. She brought those over to the coffee table too and poured the milk into the glasses before going back and putting away the milk. At that point, Logan came back into the room with two lilies in a vase.

"Where did you get those?" Katrina asked as Logan set the flowers on the coffee table.

"James has a stash of flowers that he thinks none of us know about," Logan told her.

"Don't they die then?"

"He usually gets them out before they die."

"Let me guess. To a ton of different girls?"

"Yep." Right as Logan confirmed Katrina's guess, there was a knock on the door. "I'll get the pizza."

"Sounds good!" Katrina told him, grabbing something from the fridge before she made her way over to the couch.

Logan paid for the pizza and went over to sit next to Katrina. He looked at what Katrina had gotten out of the fridge and laughed, "Ranch? We don't have a salad."

"I eat my pizza with ranch," Katrina defended her choice, "A lot of people actually do that."

"No one that I know does it."

"You know me."

"Then you're an oddball." This caused him to get hit with the pillow again.

"Just start the movie." Logan laughed again as he pressed play.

The two teens watched the movie, eating their pizza.

Right as the title came up for the movie, Katrina turned to Logan, "You know, pizza and ranch is really good."

"Is that all you were thinking about during that whole wedding thing?"

"No," Katrina insisted, "Just some of it."

"I'm going to watch the movie."

"No you're not," Katrina told him, pressing pause on the movie. "You're going to try pizza dipped in ranch."

"Uh, no."

"How would you know that it's bad if you haven't tried it before?"

"Cause it's just unnatural!"

"Come on! Just try it!" Katrina dipped her slice of pizza into her ranch before she brought it up to Logan's face. "Just a bite!"

"No!" Logan was laughing as he avoided the slice of pizza with ranch.

"I promise it's not poisoned!"

"Oh, cause that makes me feel better about it!"

"For me then."

Logan stopped trying to avoid it, "Fine, for you, I'll try it." He opened his mouth and Katrina stuck the pizza in there so he could take a bite. After chewing and swallowing, he told her, "You know what? It's actually really good."

Katrina smiled, "Told you!" She then dipped the same pizza in her ranch and took a bite for herself. "Delicious!"

"Just give me some of that ranch and play the movie." Katrina handed him the bottle of ranch before grabbing the remote and pressing play.

Once the dogs came up, Logan paused the movie. Katrina looked at him suspiciously, but before she could ask, Logan spoke, "Do you have steps to your life planned out?"

Katrina shrugged, "I used to. I was going to graduate, become an international supermodel, marry a famous actor or singer and then train my own kids in the entertainment business. But now, I really don't know. I didn't plan for you guys. Although, I like the difference."

"So, you care about us?"

"I didn't say that. Do you have steps to your life?"

"Before I came here, yeah. I was going to medical school, become a doctor, marry a nice woman that would take care of our kids while I save lives and live a normal life out of the spotlight. But then, I came here and now, I'm not sure what's going to happen in the future. Maybe we'll stay together as a band or maybe I'll go to school later, I really don't know."

"I think you'd be great at both."

"Thanks." Logan smiled at her. "Now, I've got another question. What kind of dog would you pick?"

"If I had to choose a breed, it would have to be an American Staffordshire Terrier."

"Wow, you really know your breeds."

"Yeah. I walked one once and fell in love with it."

"Aren't they a little protective?"

Katrina shrugged, "I decided this back when I could have used protection. But the only problem would be living in an apartment. I'd need at least a medium sized yard to take in this dog."

"Then it's probably for the best that we're not shopping for a dog."

Now Katrina looked confused, "Why would we shop for a dog together anyways?"

"No reason," Logan responded as he started the movie up again. Katrina was grinning from ear to ear as the movie got to the puppies.

After a few minutes, Logan paused the movie again. This time it was stopped with Marley on the screen.

"Why did you pause it this time?" Katrina asked.

"Because I wanted to let you get your fix of puppy so that you won't be stuck on staring at the dogs rather than following the plot line," Logan teased. Katrina hit him with the pillow again so Logan pulled it out of her hand and threw it far away from them.

"HEY! That was my hitting pillow!"

"Well, I'm tired of being hit!"

"I wouldn't hit you if you stopped teasing me! You're making me blush!"

"Oh, I can get you to blush more."

"What?"

"Nothing."

"No, tell me!"

"Let's just watch the movie." Logan started the movie up again.

Logan and Katrina finished eating their pizza when the thunderstorm part came in.

"Aw, poor Marley." Katrina whined, "Left all alone during a thunderstorm."

"Katrina, he's a dog. And this is a movie." Katrina hit him with her good hand.

"See! If I still had my hitting pillow, you wouldn't have a red mark later."

Logan groaned as he rubbed the spot Katrina had hit. They returned their attention to the movie.

They didn't pause it, but as they laughed through the next few parts, they scooted closer and closer to each other.

When the dog training came in, Katrina noted, "You do realize that in most relationships, the girl usually does have control."

"Psh, no she doesn't!" Katrina turned her head slowly to glare at him. "Okay, so maybe she has some control."

"I thought so," Katrina smiled as she paid attention to the TV again.

Then the control of Marley changed and Logan mentioned, "See, the man has to take over."

"Oh, just you wait."

When Marley still wasn't controlled, Katrina added, "See! He's just untrainable!"

"I bet you could train him," Logan told her.

"I probably could." Katrina and Logan smiled at each other for a second before they went back to the movie.

During the part of the movie where days were skipped over through a quick overview, Logan and Katrina scooted closer and closer until their arms were touching.

Then came the chase scene where Marley had the necklace. Both Logan and Katrina couldn't stop laughing. Katrina even fell over so that her head hit Logan's chest. Logan stopped laughing and looked down at her. She was completely oblivious to the silence coming from him. He smiled down at her, but before he could do anything else, Katrina sat up again. They put their attentions back to the movie.

As they watched the scene with the miscarriage, Katrina started sniffling a little. Once Marley was being comforting, that's when Katrina's tears ran down her face. She laid her head down on Logan's shoulder. He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer. She cuddled up to him and he placed his head on hers as the movie went on.

They didn't move much through the next few parts, but when the first born was brought home, Katrina seemed to snuggle closer to Logan.

When the girl got stabbed, Logan spoke up, "Thank God we got you out of that neighborhood before something like that happened to you."

Katrina pulled away a little to look at him, "I was fine there for two years. Nothing bad would have happened."

"You never know," Logan told her. "Someone like you would make an easy target, but you're in a safe place now."

"Yep, now that I'm with you," Katrina mumbled as she snuggled her head back into Logan's chest.

"What do you mean by that?"

"I feel safer when I'm in your arms." Katrina paused as Logan took in what she had just told him. "Okay, that was kind of cheesy."

"It's fine," Logan smiled down at her for a second before he kissed the top of her head. Katrina stiffened for a second, but then relaxed into Logan, sighing as she snuggled up to him. Their attentions went back to the movie.

Once it came to the part of them introducing the third baby, Logan paused the movie again. Katrina looked up at him curiously.

"How many kids would you want to have?" Logan asked her.

"That's a weird question," Katrina replied. "Why would you ask that?"

"Just curious."

"Um, I don't really know. I never gave any thought to it." She stopped talking as she considered his question. "Probably at least two so that they can experience the joys of having a sibling."

"And have family parties while you're gone."

Katrina nodded as the tears came again, "I miss them so much!" She wrapped her good arm around him and pulled him close as she cried into his shirt. Logan, not really knowing what to do next, just rubbed her back soothingly.

"Why don't we go back to the movie? It'll cheer you up." Katrina nodded into his shirt before she turned her head to watch the TV. She didn't pull away from Logan at all as he pressed the play button.

They continued to watch it until it came to the scene after the surprise birthday party.

"Katrina," Logan pulled her out of her concentration on the movie. "I've got to ask you something."

"Hmm?" Katrina turned up to look at him.

"Did you think that this was a date?"

Katrina looked away from Logan as an uncomfortable silence settled in for a couple seconds.

When she didn't answer, Logan went on, "I'm sorry. I understand that you like James more and-"

"No," Katrina interrupted him, "I don't like James more, but I thought that you liked Camille and so I thought that this was just a friend thing."

"Oh," Logan responded, before they went back to watching the movie.

They didn't talk again until the snow scene.

"You know what?" Katrina started, "I've never seen snow."

"You're kidding!" Logan looked at her surprised.

"Nope, I've lived around here my entire life. Never went to a place with snow."

"Now, I kind of want to take you home."

"I am at your home."

"No, I meant home in Minnesota, maybe around the holidays or something. Just so you can see snow."

Katrina smiled up at him, "I'd like that." Before she turned back to the movie, her smile not leaving her face.

Things went on in the movie and as it got closer to the end, tears started to roll down Katrina's eyes. During the vet scene, she started sniffling. And then the phone call said that Marley was coming home and Katrina actually cheered. Logan laughed a little.

"What?" Katrina looked at Logan.

"You're really getting into this movie."

"You know me and animals. I love it when they make it through miraculous things."

"Of course," Logan replied sadly. He knew what was coming up later in the movie, having read the book already. So, he knew Katrina was going to fall apart towards the end.

Once the second vet scene came in, Katrina's crying came in too.

"I don't want to see this! I wanted a happy ending!"

"Kat-"

"Don't tell me that he was just a dog to them! He was a part of their family and they're losing him! Just like I lost my family." She cried into Logan's shirt, but still kept an eye on the movie. Logan didn't really know what to do next, so he just rubbed her back while he watched the movie too, a couple tears even running down his cheeks as the scene went on where John said his goodbyes to Marley.

Once the credits rolled in, Logan stopped the movie. Katrina was still lying against him, crying her eyes out.

"Katrina, it's a movie."

"Based on a true story!"

"They got another dog."

Katrina pulled away from him, "How do you know that?"

"I read the book. Listen, this isn't as much about the loss of Marley as it is about your own loss, is it?"

Katrina hesitated, but then told him, "Yeah, this does remind me of that day."

Logan put his hand under her chin and raised her head up to look at him, "Hey. Don't cry, okay? Everything happens for a reason. And for some reason, you were meant to meet us. If you weren't, then that dog wouldn't have tied us up in the first place and Gustavo wouldn't have called you in to help watch his house and-"

"Okay, I get it."

"Whether you like it or not, you're stuck with us. We're not letting you go." Logan paused for a second before he went on, "I'm not letting you go." Before Katrina could do anything, Logan leaned forward and kissed her on the lips. She was wide-eyed from the surprise kiss that Logan wouldn't normally do. But then she closed her eyes and kissed him back. Because it was on impulse, it wasn't long before the two had to break apart for air.

They stared into each other's eyes for a few seconds. Logan's hands had somehow tangled up into Katrina's hair. Although she couldn't use her left hand, she had her right hand placed on the side of his neck as her thumb moved gently on his cheek. Their eyes began darting back and forth between the other's lips and eyes.

Suddenly, they moved forward with passion to take each other's lips again. The kiss was deep and real, no acting or surprise whatsoever. Their lips moved with the other's as they tried to get as close as they could. It might have been the frustration from the past few days since the whole 'Romeo and Juliet' kiss or it might have been desperation as though thinking that something was going to happen to tear them apart.

That something did happen when the door to the apartment flew open without warning. Logan and Katrina broke apart and rushed away from each other to sit a good distance from each other.

"I can see why you guys love that place!" Gustavo commented as he walked towards where Katrina and Logan were sitting. "I mean their chicken strips were FANTASTIC!" Kendall, James, Carlos, Katie and Mrs. Knight looked at Gustavo with annoyance.

"Yes, but you didn't have to ask for five plates worth of them!" Kendall told him.

"It took forever for you to get done!" James complained.

"I have to go find something for this headache," Mrs. Knight spoke up before she left the room.

Gustavo relaxed right in between Logan and Katrina, "You two should have come with us." The teens on the couch rolled their eyes as their heads fell back on the couch in exasperation.

"How did your night go anyways?" Carlos asked them, his tone suggesting that he knew something probably happened between them. James and Kendall looked at Carlos with raised eyebrows before they turned to wait for Logan's and Katrina's response.

They looked at each other before Logan started, "Well-"

"Wait!" Katie piped up, getting everyone to look at her. "I've got some news first!" She suddenly ran out of the room. The six people still there looked around confused before Katie ran back in with a basket of stuff. "The people from 'Cuda sent James and Katrina a gift basket for modeling for their ad!" She pulled out a magazine. "They even sent the magazine where the first ad was printed!"

James pulled the magazine from her grip and began scanning though it, looking for the perfume ad they had done. Once he found it, he smiled, "Oh, this is hot."

Carlos and Kendall quickly looked over James's shoulder to see the ad. They both commented, "Whoa! That's Katrina?"

Logan got up and pulled the magazine out of James's hands to look for himself. His face fell the instant he saw the steamy picture. In it, James's and Katrina's lips were millimeters apart and it was obvious that they had to have exchanged something while in that position. Katrina's hair was somehow flying even though James's wasn't. Although her hair covered one of her eyes, the other one was a dazzling blue that was probably digitally enhanced as it connected with the viewer. Her face was looking towards James even though her eyes weren't. Her hands were on his bare chest. His body seemed to be glowing even though the picture was in black and white. His hair blocked most of his face, but there was enough to show the desire as he stared at Katrina. The full length picture showed Katrina's leg around James's waist, pulling him towards her. The only space between their bodies was taken up by what little clothes they had on. At the bottom of the ad was a picture of the perfume bottle with the slogan next to it, written in cursive, Enchant the Gods followed by the name of the perfume under it in bold letters, Greek Goddess.

Katrina and Gustavo came up behind them to look over his shoulder at the photo. Their eyes went wide.

"Whoa," Gustavo looked over at Katrina, "When did you start dating James?"

Katrina sneered at him for a second before her face softened as she looked at Logan, "Logan-"

"You want to know what happened tonight," Logan interrupted her as he looked at his three friends, "Nothing. That's what happened. Absolutely nothing." He gave Katrina an accusing look before he stuffed the magazine back into James's hands and left the room. Katrina sighed as she fell down to the couch, her tears starting to come back.

An awkward silence settled in until Carlos spoke up, "I'm guessing that this means we won't be doing our ghost hunting later." A pillow came flying across the room and hit Carlos in the face.

(A/N): PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! I had this planned from the beginning! I've actually got most of this story planned out, just a few things that are small that I figure out along the way. But, Logan and Katrina kissed! FOR REAL! And admitted their feelings for each other! And then James intervenes again, this time indirectly. Poor Logan. It must be hard to like a model doing shoots like that. Poor Katrina too. I mean, she basically lost Logan by just doing her job. What's going to happen next? Is Logan going to realize that Katrina was doing her job and that she wants to be with him or will he forget about her and go with Camille? And what about James? Is he going to make a move or will he back off when he sees how heartbroken Logan and Katrina are? And how are Kendall and Carlos going to react to all of this drama with their best friends? And an important question, is Katrina going to join Carlos and Logan with their ghost hunting again or is she going to stop? Find out next time! Until then, review and happy reading!
