Master turned Soft

(14)

Kendall's POV-

"Kendall, Chase and the rest of them will be here at any moment, put pants on." Julian said strictly.

"But I don't wanna wear pants sir." I frowned at the leggings he gave me.

"Kitten" he groaned. "Please. Go get shorts or something then. But you can't be in your panties around other people. This ass is mine" he grabbed it before giving it a sharp slap.

"Yes sir" I went upstairs and found a pair of cloth shorts. I put them on and went back down.

"Chase, Noah. Come in" Julian said standing at the door.

"Kendall, my favorite newbie" chase greeted me.

"Hi" I waved shyly and found my way to Julians side.

"Still shy I see" chase laughed.

"Chase torment your own sub." Julian laughed and rolled his eyes. We all made our way to the couch and sat down. "Where's Wesley and lindy?"

"On their way. Apparently Lindy needed a lesson taught to her so they're running behind." Chase laughed.

"Why don't you go show Noah around." Julian said softly in my ear. I shook my head and stayed glued to his side. "What if he wants to be your friend?"

I didn't say anything. What if he didn't like me? Or thought I was weird or dumb? I'm new. He's not.

"The party hath arrived" Wesley said entering the house, Lindy following behind him with puffy cheeks and red eyes.

"Aw Lin" chase opened his arms, "come here, sad girl"

She walked over to him and he hugged her.

"Go make friends. Lindy is sad." Julian nudged me.

"What if they think I'm weird?" I whispered quietly.

"You are" he teased. I frowned and fiddled with my fingers. "I'm kidding."

"Can I make drinks for everyone?" I asked softly.

"I don't mind."

I mustered up some courage, "uh, Noah and Lindy, wanna help me make some drinks? If it's okay with chase and Wesley"

"No thank you" Lindy declined which made my face grow hot. She sat next to Noah who also shook his head.

I got up embarrassed and went to the kitchen. Tears pricked my eyes mostly because of the embarrassment of being turned down and because my anxieties were correct..

I was new. They were all already good friends and knew each other. I was an outsider to the group and the community.

"May I help?"

I jumped and turned around, Wesley was standing at the island.

"Y-yeah sure." I nodded and turned back quickly wiping my face.

"What's wrong?" He questioned grabbing the ice and some cups and coming over to me.

"Nothing. I'm okay." I opened the liquor cabinet and grabbed Tito's and some Patron. "Vodka or tequila?"

"Lindy is in a bad mood because she got punished" he said after pointing to the Tito's. "And Noah is her friend and I don't think he wanted to leave her. And he's quiet"

"It's okay" I shrugged and went to the fridge. I grabbed some pineapple juice and some cranberry juice. "You like fruity drinks?" I asked just to be sure.

"What're you making?"

"Maui island cocktail"

"I'll try it" he smiled politely. "You still look sad"

"I'm not sad" I lied. I mixed his drink and poured it over ice, grabbing a cherry to top it off and handed it to him.

He took a drink and nodded, "it's good"

"Can Lindy have one?" I asked him.

"Yeah. Just half a shot of vodka though. Probably do the same for Noah."

I made five more and set them on a tray. I grabbed it carefully and headed back to the living room.

"Sir" I handed him one. "It's vodka and cranberry and pineapple juice."

"Thank you, pet" he smiled. I nodded and offered Chase one.

"I'm not big on fruity drinks" he said politely.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Can I get you something else?" I asked.

"Dude take it. It's good" Wesley smacked him.

"These only have half a shot in them. If it's okay for Noah to have one." I said softly before grabbing one for myself. "Mine only has half a shot too" I said to Julian.

"I wouldn't have cared if you put more" he shrugged.

"Lindy say thank you" Wesley scolded her softly.

"Thank you" she didn't look at me though. Maybe she really doesn't like me.

"Noah" chase looked at him. Noah did the same.

"Can I make you something else?" I looked at Chase who was just holding his glass.

"No thank you. Relax, Kendall." He smiled politely.

I sat next to Julian again and just kept to myself as they talked.

"Are you gonna drink it?" Julian nudged me lightly. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at him confused. "You okay?"

"Yeah. I think I'm just tired." I shrugged. "Would it be okay if I went to lay down"

"Of course."

I set my drink down and waved to everyone before making my way upstairs. I sighed as I entered my room.

I dressed into some pajamas and grabbed my hairbrush, brushing out my knotted mess.

"Knock knock"

"Come in" I said softly. Julian came in and sat next to me.

"Ready for bed already?" He grabbed the hairbrush for me and started on my hair. "What's wrong, pet?"

"Your friends.. well Noah and Lindy, don't seem to like me much" I shrugged. "And I didn't wanna embarrass you anymore. So I came up here."

"You didn't embarrass me" he spoke gently. "They're just quiet and shy."

"I guess" I played with the hem of my shirt.

"Come back down" he said. "I think we are gonna watch a movie. Or maybe play a game or two."

"You're the only one that talks to me" I turned around to face him, "I feel... I, nevermind"

"No continue." He caressed my cheek.

"I feel like how you used to make me feel when I was with Hayden" I spoke quietly. "Like I'm weird. And I don't belong."

"Well one, I'm sorry I ever made you feel like that" he kissed my cheek, "and two, chase and Wesley adore you. They think you're cute and Noah and Lindy will warm up."

"I feel like I am embarrassing you. I did what you said, I tried" I frowned.

"I know. And I'm proud of you because I know how nervous you were." He kissed my cheek again. "I'm sorry you're not having a good night."

"It's okay. Are you?" I asked.

He chuckled and ran his fingers through my hair, "even when you're having a bad time you're still so concerned that everyone around you is having fun"

I leaned into his touch and sighed.
"Will I ever make any friends" I asked softly, closing my eyes because I didn't want him to see me get teary eyed. I was lonely.
