I won't lose you.

Chapter 4.

-James's P.O.V.

I pulled into the parking lot of the pizza place. Melanie and I had already gotten to know each other on the ride over. It seemed like we had known each other for years instead of just one day. I stepped out of the car and linked arms with her again. We walked inside and took a seat. Soon our waitress took our order. I tried to avoid eye contact with her so she didn't recognize me in the event that she had heard of Big Time Rush.

"So Melanie, what do you think so far?" I asked confidently.

"Well James, you really know how to make a girl feel special."

Score! Maybe if tonight goes well, I can make Melanie my girlfriend. There's nothing I'd enjoy more. 

We ate and talked. She's so funny. We're perfect for each other. I love a girl who can make me laugh. All the while, I looked into her eyes to try and read how she was feeling about everything…being out with me, what she thought of me, even if the thought of my fame occurred to her. What I saw was that she was enjoying herself because she was not only smiling with her mouth, but also her eyes. She was treating me like a completely normal guy, and I really liked that.

As we finished, Melanie wanted to pay the bill. "Uh-uh. You aren't paying this one," I said.

"No, I think that I should."

"Nope, I'm the guy. Guys are supposed to do this for girls that they enjoy spending time with."

"You enjoy spending time with me?" Melanie inquired.

"Why so surprised? You're an amazing girl. You're smart, funny, talented, and confident, not to mention beautiful. Any guy would be lucky to be your boyfriend."

"Well thank you…it's too bad I don't have an amazing guy like yourself. You're everything you mentioned before…except beautiful. You're…hot," Kaitlin said, looking at the table and blushing. I loved what that blush did to her. It showed that she was slightly shy. I found that extremely attractive.

"Would you like to have an amazing boyfriend like me?" I asked, smiling at her, my eyes glimmering with hope.

"Yes I really would, but I don't think-" I cut of Melanie by leaning in and kissing her softly on the lips. I don't know why I did it. I've never kissed a girl on the first date. I guess it was an impulse.

"Woah," gasped Melanie. I pulled away.

"I'm really sor-" This time, Melanie cut me off with a kiss.

"Look James, we're going a bit too fast. I just got out of relationship." Melanie responded.

"Sorry." I said quietly.

"Ok. So about the bill," she said, quickly changing the subject. "You pay it…on one condition. You let me pay for the movies."

"Fine. Pushy, pushy," I replied, finally giving in.

I paid the bill, left a generous tip, and escorted Melanie to my car arm-in-arm. I knew this date would go even better than my expectations…and I set my expectations high.
