LA was what most people dream of visiting or living in. But for me I prefer to just live in New York. I was in LA to visit my very good friend Selena who practically begged me to come out here for the release of some new movie she was in.

Stepping off the plane and into the airport I got my luggage and scanned the airport for the brunette. I had no such luck finding him. Pulling out my phone I texted 'where are you?' a few seconds later she replied with 'Sent a friend to get you'

A minute later I heard a deep voice calling my name.

"Please tell me your name is Caroline Taylor. I've been running around this airport for twenty minutes trying to find an Caroline Taylor." the guy said out of breath

"You're in luck I just so happen to be her." I smiled

He looked very good looking even with the little beard he had "Oh thank god!" He said hugging me "I'm James by the way, James Franco." He said

"Lovely to meet you." I said

Grabbing my bags we walked outside where the paparazzi was waiting no doubt. Turns out I was right the lights of their cameras and the sunlight blinded me. James wrapped an arm around my waist guiding me to his car.

"I hate paps here. They are terrible in LA." I breathed once we were in his car

"You're in LA now baby and everything is worse here. But the people, shops and homes are better." he winked at me "Speaking of homes, you'll be staying with me tonight since Selena is all the way in Chicago for an interview. Hope you don't mind."

"I don't mind at all." I said thinking of how great it'll be to get to spend more time with this handsome stranger.

"How long are you here for?" James asked as he drove down a street.

I shrugged and looked out the window "A week, maybe two."

"I see well I'm sure you can see a lot while you're here."

A smile tugged at my lips "James I've been to LA plenty of times."

"Oh right visiting Selena." he mumble and parked his car in a drive way

"Yup" I replied getting out of the car.

James shook his head "I still find it strange Selena never introduced you to me."

I laughed as we walked into his house. It was a lot different then most Hollywood houses.

"Nice place." I said facing him

"Thanks, I'll show you where you'll be staying." he said walking up stairs which I followed behind him. He opened a door to a bedroom which I fell I love with "You'll be sleeping here. I'm going to make dinner in awhile if you want to sleep or something"

"Alright, thank you James." I kissed his cheek

He nodded and blushed "Sure no problem."

I found myself sinking into the soft bed and drifted off to sleep. Awhile later someone was shaking me gently awake.

"Dinners ready." James said once I opened my eyes.

Getting out of bed I stretched and followed him to the kitchen. He pulled my chair out for me with a smile. The feeling of when you fall for someone was coming over me. And strangely I didn't feel like fighting off this feeling.

"Selena called, he asked if I got you and how you were doing." James said

"That's Sel always protective over me. She's the sweetest." I sighed happily taking a bite of the delicious food sitting in front of me "This is so amazing!" I said after swallowing the food in my mouth

He smiled and watched me with interest in his eyes "It was sort of a last minute thing I'm glad you like it though."

My phone rang and I excused myself to answer it "Hello Sel." I said

"Care I'm sorry I couldn't pick you up." She said sounding exhausted

"No need to explain James already has and I accept your apology." I smiled thinking that I was spending time with a cute guy.

She sighed relaxed "Well still I'm sorry I'll catch you tomorrow."

Sliding my phone back into my pocket I rejoined James "Sorry about that it was Selena." I said.

"What do you feel like doing now?" James asked

"Whatever you want to Franco." I said bitting my lip.

James laughed "Franco? Is that what you're going to call me now?" he asked

"Hmm I'm still deciding."I said shrugging.

We just ending up relaxing on his couch and watching a movie.

"Could I take a shower?" I asked

He nodded and showed me where the bathroom and everything was at "If you need anything just yell." he smiled shutting the door behind him.

Oh that smile gave me butterflies every damn time. Stupid charming James Franco. After my shower I realized I had no pajamas that I packed. So right now I was in my underwear.

"James!" I yelled opening the door slightly.

(James's P.O.V)

"Selena has been holding out on me." I said to Jonah who just came over

"Really? Is she that beautiful?" Jonah asked

I nodded "Damn straight. I've never seen any women so beautiful in my life. I get this weird feeling when I'm with her. And no not in my pants feeling I know that's what you were going to ask."

"James!" I heard Caroline yell

Running up the steps to the bathroom door I knocked and it opened slightly "What's up Care?" I asked

I seen her face turn red "Can I borrow some clothes to sleep in please."she mumbled

"Sure thing babe I'll be back." I said before going to my room and grabbing a shirt and sweat pants. I knocked on the door and she opened it grabbing the clothes.

"Thank you so much! I'll be down when I'm done." She said from the other side of the door

I went back downstairs where Jonah still was "What was that about?" he asked

"She needed clothes." I shrugged and sat back down on the couch flicking through the tv.

"Mmhmm sure man." He said taking a drink of his beer.

I rolled my eyes "I'm serious. Caroline is to innocent for that shit and she's classy to man."

Jonah was about to say something but shut up quickly as the beautiful blonde entered the room "Thanks again Franco." she smiled brightly at me which made my heart skip a beat

"So this is the beautiful Caroline!" Jonah said standing up and walking over to her "I'm Jonah."

"Nice to meet you Jonah." Caroline said shaking his hand. Walking over to me she took a seat rather close not that I was complaining.

Jonah's eyes were practically glued to her "Selena is very lucky to have a friend like you." he said

Caroline smiled politely "I'm the lucky one, Selena is very sweet. And so is this guy for letting me stay with him." she said setting her hand on my arm.

"I better head out. Nice meeting you Caroline. And Franco I'll see you later." he said leaving us alone.

"Pick a movie." I told her and she strolled over to my movie collection.

"You have a lot of old movies." she smiled and handed me the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's "It's my favorite movie." she blushed as I put it in.

"I never actually seen it." I confessed pushing play.

Once the movie ended it was 9:00 and Caroline's phone rang. She excused herself to answer it.

"Hey! I was wondering when you'd call." she said happily "Yeah it's great here. Next time I come you have to come" she laughed then said "Goodnight, I love you to and I miss you."

Caroline came back into the living room. I was still staring at the blank tv screen. The only thought running through my head was Caroline had a boyfriend.

"Sorry about that my sister called." she said

Okay scratch that she doesn't have a boyfriend... well that I'm aware of. "It's cool." I said

"Well I'm going to bed. Goodnight Franco." Caroline said kissing my cheek

"Goodnight Care." I said grinning
