Do You Love Me, James Taylor

Secret Revealed Part 1

(Carlos)

"Who?" My Shinning one asked

"The guys"

"Please tell me you mean that awesome new boy band that's scheduled to perform tonight"

"Nope."

"What are they doing here?" She groaned

"I don't know they looked like they came separately"

"All three of them"

"No Jay and Sophie were together"

After hearing that, My Shinning one lit up the street with her smile

"About time they got to their senses," My Shinning one said

"You sure that's what happening?"

"Of course, it was only a matter of time now that Nick's out of the picture"

"Then let's go congratulate them," I said, walking off but, she grabbed my arm and pulled me back

"No, they probably came so far because they want to be alone"

"But Carl's inside"

"It's a big place. They probably won't see each other. Now let's go enjoy the last party," she said, pulling me past the gates unto the beach

I simply sighed before smiling

(James)

"Can't you loosen up a little, Taylor," Sophie said

"Sorry, I'm just thinking about you know who," I said

"Well stop. This is supposed to be the night we forget our ex-significant other or in your case potential significant other"

"Alright. Alright," I smiled before we saw the first portrait with five people staring at it.

It was a green dot labeled truth surrounded by red dots

"Wonderful"

"Absolutely marvelous"

"Absolutely breathtaking" another gawked

"What do you think?" A guy asked Sophie

"I think she is trying to say that in every ocean of lies there is always a little island of truth," Sophie said.

The five spectators all smiled at her answer before going elsewhere

"Wow. Couldn't have thought of a better answer. It sounds like something Lady Ann would say" I said smiling

"Yeah, I'm a huge fan of her works. I follow her blog and everything she does"

"Me too. When did you start following her?" I asked

"Shortly after she exploded in popularity... so around three years ago. Nick brought me for one of our dates" she said, smiling at her memory

"I actually got into her around that time as well. That's why I really wanted to come to this exhibit I wanted to introduce Betty-Ann to her work like how my mom introduced me. Everything here is supposed to be a Lady Ann original piece" I said

"No, an M.J. original should be here. I read it in an article on their website, but there wasn't a photo of it" Sophie said

"MJ has a very different art style from Lady Ann so I'm sure it'd stick out"

"How about a game?" she smirked

"What kind of game?" I asked curiously

"We're looking for the M.J painting. The person who finds it can order the other to do whatever they want" she said

"You sure about this?"

"Yeah. It will definitely keep our mind off of they who shall not be named"

"Fine," I said we shook hands before she walked off

She wasn't playing fair. She knew I was watching so she made an attempt at a seductive walk. It was really awkward and clumsily done so I couldn't keep myself from chuckling as she made her way up the stairs

"Focus Taylor," I said snapping out of it and walking around the exhibit. Going through floors until I noticed it.

A naked statue. A man and woman. The woman was in the man's embrace. It seemed he was lifting her up, his mouth on her neck. Her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist and her head flung back

The title of the statue was 'The Beasts of Lust'. This was definitely MJ's work. It was more direct than Lady Ann's subtle art style

The more I looked at the statue the more it reminded me of the nights I spent with Betty-Ann. Especially the evening we spent in the janitor closet and then the memory of Carl catching us popped up.

"Stop it, James, you're not supposed to be thinking about Betty-Ann," I said before turning to see Carl checking out a picture

I was shocked to see him but it was even more surprising when a woman walked over to him. She was in a beautiful red dress with a large hat over her head and a red scarf concealing her face. It was quite obvious they had come together which threw me for a loop. Not to insult Carl but who would have thought he would have got another woman so soon after his breakup. Wonder how long it will last. I'd like to think it'd be fairly long with the new body but with his personality, I doubt they'll date for long

"Hey" Sophie called sounding rather irritated

"Sophie, when did you get here?"

"I've been trying to get your attention for three minutes" she glared

"Sorry, I was lost in thought"

"Tell me you weren't thinking about her again" she sighed

"No," I said before the manager walked up to us

"Well if it isn't James Issac Taylor"
