Chapter 2

Being the early bird as he was before, James woke up before everyone does. He decided to cook breakfast for the Idols especially Pia. He wasn't able to greet her a happy birthday and to congratulate her on her engagement with Paul.

As James was cooking, he heard footsteps coming towards the kitchen. He didn't bother to look at who it was but he got nervous when she stood beside him watching him cook.

"Good morning." James greeted.

"Good morning to you, too." Pia replied. "What's that?" she added.

"Oh, it's just a little experiment. You know, tryin' out something new." James replied.

"How's Heidi? Tell her I miss her so much." Pia told James as she took a seat on her chair.

"I will." James answered with a smile.

They were silenced for a while because they both don't know what to say to each other. Suddenly, James placed a plate in front of Pia.

Pia looked at him with a questioning look. "Happy birthday and congratulations." James said with a smile.

Pia couldn't help but stare at James with a smile. "What?" James asked.

Pia shook her head. "Nothing. I was just...shocked." Pia said.

"Why?" James asked as he sat beside her.

"Because you never cooked before? I don't know." Pia said laughing.

"Oh, Heidi taught me how to cook." James said.

Pia nodded and took a bite of the food that James cooked for her. "It's delicious." Pia complimented.

"Well, thank you." James said and they both laughed loudly probably waking up the other Idols.

Scotty woke up from the laughter coming from the kitchen. He rolled out of his bed and checked the time.

"Six in the morning? You better be kidding me." Scotty groaned as he helps himself get out of his bed.

He went to the bathroom and freshen himself up. He went downstairs and saw Pia and James having a good time at the kitchen.

"Good morning." Scotty greeted as he entered the kitchen.

"Good morning." James and Pia answered in chorus.

"What's for breakfast?" Scotty asked as he opened the fridge and went to check out the pan.

"Uh…there's bacon, eggs, ham and pancakes." James answered.

"Great." Scotty exclaimed. He grabbed a plate and scooped a lot of foods especially bacons and sat infront of Pia and James.

"So, why are you guys laughing? You guys woke me up." Scotty said.

"We did? Oh, I'm so sorry." Pia apologized. "Where's Paul?" she added.

"He's still asleep." James replied since he's sharing a room with Paul.

"Oh." Pia said as she shove a spoonful inside her mouth. They ate in silence until Haley came in.

"Scotty, your phone's buzzing." Haley said as he handed Scotty his phone.

"7 missed calls," Scotty whispered. "From Emily." he added.

"Excuse me, I'll just call Emily." Scotty said as he stood up and went a little farther from the others.

Haley just shrugged and went to get her breakfast. "By the way, have you seen Pia's show, James?" Haley asked.

"Pia's show? You have a show?" James asked.
