Meant For Me

Chapter Twenty Three

James checked his watch for what seemed like the millionth time already as it read 6:45 pm. He sighed in annoyance as he sat on the couch in the living room of his and Carlos' hotel room, waiting patiently for his friends. Earlier, the boys had all agreed to get ready for the after party in the same room so they wouldn't knock aggressively on each other's doors if one of them would be late.

"This party is going to rock!" Carlos exclaimed excitedly as he sat on the couch beside James who let out an exasperated sigh. Even Carlos was ready before they were.

"Kendall! Logan! Come on! Jo and Camille don't care how you look!" James called after his friends who were taking so long in getting ready.

The said boys came out of the living room a few minutes after James had called them.

James let out a frustrated sigh. "You know, I'm kinda happy I don't have a girlfriend. If I did, then I'd have to spend even more time on my hair than I already do- wait, that wouldn't be such a bad thing."

"Carlos, you're my wing man. We're going to get us some ladies tonight." James told the boy beside him.

"Uhhh… yeah… about that… I don't think I can be…" Carlos replied rather nervously as he fidgeted with his words which caused James to shoot him a confused look.

Suddenly the girls entered the room with big smiles on their faces, obviously excited for the party.

"Hey!" The three greeted.

"You guys ready?" Stephanie asked the boys in general as she made her way to Carlos and kissed his cheek which got confused looks from the remaining three guys and smiles from the girls.

"You and Stephanie?" James asked in surprise.

"You didn't tell them?" Stephanie asked Carlos with a confused and raised eyebrow.

"I'm getting a whole déjà vu feeling just watching this." Jo commented as she turned and gave Kendall a glare as he just smiled sheepishly back at her and as they all started to exit the room while Carlos explained to the guys how he and Stephanie got together.

"Do you guys remember the first party we ever threw back at the Palm Woods?" Logan asked his friends as they all entered the limo. The boys all looked at each other and laughed.

"Al Contacts." James muttered under his breath which earned him a punch from Carlos.

"It could've been worse!" Carlos exclaimed in his defense.

"What could've been worse than inviting all the contacts on your phone to a party where we were only supposed to invite three people each?" Logan asked Carlos who just shrugged in response.

"Well, at least I don't refer to my guests as a guest-friend-person-thing like Kendall over there." Carlos said, signaling his hand to the blonde boy who sat across from him.

"Hey, Jo did come and look at us now." Kendall said as he gave Jo a half hug and kissed her forehead.

"Yeah, but like after so many months." Camille commented which got her a high five from Carlos and a roll of eyes from the two blondes.

"Look who's talking." Jo shot back with a smirk which caused Camille and Logan to blush lightly and the others to laugh.

Tonight was the Big Time Rush concert after party which was being held at a ballroom of a hotel not too far from where they were staying. The boys had been convinced to perform a few songs before a DJ would take over and turn it into a dance party. Everyone yelled and clapped loudly as the boys ended their performance. As the boys got off the stage, the DJ wasted no time in setting up. A few minutes later, his loud voice boomed through the speakers as he began playing the latest songs and a few classics for a good balance.

Once Logan spotted Camille, the couple immediately made their way to the dance floor and the same thing happened with Carlos and Stephanie.

Kendall scanned the relatively crowded room for Jo, who wasn't with Camille or Stephanie. His eyes fell upon a mess of blonde hair in the back of the room which he knew anywhere was Jo's. He made his way thorugh the crowd to make it to her and smiled when he had finally reached her.

"Hey! You guys were great out there!" She greeted and complimented as she handed him a glass of punch and leaned on the table that was outlined by Christmas lights in the spirit of the upcoming holidays.

"Yeah, I know right!" Kendall boasted playfully as she rolled her eyes at him.

"You wanna dance?" He asked as he set his cup down on the table and as a new song poured through the speakers which was Bruno Mars' classic Just The Way You Are.

"Duh!" She replied as he laughed at her response and as she grabbed his wrists and led him to the dance floor.

Jo laughed as Kendall pulled her into him and as he placed his arms around her waist while hers made their way around his neck.

Looking at her in the eye, he sang along with the song- his voice soon overpowering Bruno Mars'- well, to her, at least.

"You know, you know, you know, I'd never ask you to change. If perfect's what you're searching for, then just stay the same. So don't even bother asking if you look okay, because you know I'll say…"

Jo giggled as she leaned her head on his chest to hide the blush creeping on her cheeks and as they continued to sway along with the rest of the song. When it had finished, a random Ke$ha song which Jo later realized was Blow. They continued dancing anyway.

Her eyes looked around where she saw the other couples on the floor and giggled lightly at what she was seeing. Camille's animated moves balanced out perfectly with Logan's rather nervous dancing while Carlos and Stephanie were killing it out there. As her eyes continued to scan around the dance floor, a new pair which caught her eye made her smile widely.

"Hey." She whispered to get Kendall's attention. He looked at her then he followed her gaze.

The sight Jo was referring to made Kendall smile slightly. James was spinning Katie around as she laughed giddily while he just smiled broadly, showing that he was having a good time. Katie had gotten here in the middle of the boys' performance since she took a separate ride to get there.

"James and Katie?" He asked rather shocked as the two got out off the floor once the song had finished and sat on one of the tables while their friends continued dancing.

"Yeah! It's the typical big brother's best friend is the one for me kind of thing." She explained as though it was the most obvious thing in the world. Seeing Kendall's still confused expression, she sighed and continued.

"You know, like, Monica and Chandler from Friends or Harry and Ginny from the Harry Potter books and movies. She elaborated some examples with a bitter tone on mentioning the second example. Personally, she's always felt, ever since the beginning of the story that Harry and Hermione would make a better couple than Harry and Ginny even though the latter one eventually became canon. She was just never one for unrequited couples, although she had some exceptions, this wasn't one of them, plus she's always felt that Harry and Hermione shared this bond, which was much greater than Harry and Ginny's or Ron and Hermione's ever could be. The only reason why she had mentioned that couple was because it was a perfect example to help make her statement clearer.

"But the age difference is so…" Kendall trailed off.

"Hey, age is but a number." Jo quoted wisely as Kendall chuckled.

That was the only thing that really worried Kendall about one of his best friends and baby sister's possible 'relationship'. Sure, James had a reputation of being a player and what kind of big brother would he be if he let his little sister be with someone like that, but he knew better. The reason James seemed like a player was because he would usually have one date with a girl and then never see her afterwards. That only happens because if James can't feel the relationship going anywhere after the first date, he immediately breaks things off to save some time and this happens about ninety percent of the time. Kendall knew that James would never do that to Katie because deep down, he's always had this feeling that Katie had a crush on the pretty boy even though she would never openly admit it because it would give James a certain satisfaction and he also knew that James loved her greatly, platonically for now at least but he had a feeling he could change that.

"So in six years when Katie is allowed to date," Kendall started as he signaled for Jo to continue.

"We'll be back in business." She finished with a smirk as the two kissed.

"Deal."

And the matchmaking cycle continues.

It's over. Oh wow. And yeah, some Jatie fluff here. x3 Anyway, for the very last time in this story: please review! :)
