arcade night

JESSICA'S POV

We made it to Dave & Busters. I don't know why but the place was basically empty, it was just Kendall and I. Funny enough, Kendall and I were almost matching without planning.

Kendall was wearing a grey shirt with a black and white flannel, which he paired with black jeans and some black original vans. He even wore a black hat, I've always loved how hats looked on him. I wore some black sweat shorts with a white tank top crop top and a large oversized gray zip up hoodie. For my shoes I wore my black converse and a black flap crossbody bag.

I turned to Kendall, "This place looks amazing."

"I know right," He said with the same type of enthusiasm as he smiled at me.

"One question though?"

"Shoot." He said.

"How come there's no one here? That's really odd."

I could see his expression change from happy to I don't even know. His whole mood was just brought down with that one question.

"Um well. Im kinda famous around here so I needed to rent the place out in order for us to be here."

"What'd you say?" My eyes kinda went big, I was shocked with these news.

"Jess, I'm from a band called Big Time Rush. We even have our own band, and you've actually met one of my bandmates. His name is James, I heard he kept you company while you waited for your friend to pick you up. I wanted to apologize for just letting you run out and not taking you home myself." I could see his cheeks turn red from either guilt or embarrassment.

"You're famous? How come I haven't heard about you?" I joked. It makes sense that he is considering his house is huge and he literally rented this place out.

"Only cool people listen to Big Time Rush, that's why." I stuck his tongue at him in a mocking way and he laughed.

Kendall decided to order food while I got a head-start on playing them games. I tried the ones that could get me the most tickets because of course, I wanted prizes.

"Let's determine who's the best at arcade games." Kendall said as he walked closer to me.

We played all the two player games, we were tied up. One more game though that we haven't tried and it was the dance one. Kendall has absolutely no ounce of rhythm in his body, I would for sure win this. The song had started playing and already I was laughing at how hard Kendall was struggling. The song played out and I won.

"Apparently, I'm the best at arcade games." I was super competitive so I enjoyed being able to brag about it.

"You know if we played again then I would win. Mine was broken." He said frowning.

"Kendall you just can't dance." I laughed.

We hadn't noticed but our food was ready. We sat in a little mini booth where it was just us two. We talked and laughed, it was the best time.

Kendall and I had finished and we were getting ready to leave. He helped me out of the booth and held me close.

"Will you slow dance with me?" He asked. Slow music started to play on the speakers.

"Of course." It felt a little weird to say yes, but I couldn't just say no.

We danced closely for a while, his arms around my waist while mine are around his neck. I rested mg head on his shoulder, I felt safe. That same feeling from when we were younger never left, it all still feels the same.

"Jess, I've had the best time with you so far. I wanted to apologize for the stuff I've done in the past. Could we give us another chance?"

I rose my head to see him, I was stunned. So many thoughts in my head, my mouth felt completely zipped. I really did miss him though and I still loved him.

I smiled at him, "Kendall I really appreciate what you said. I had the greatest time today hanging with you, but I want you to know that I'm leaving in 3 days. I have to go back to college, I wasn't planning on staying here. It was just supposed to be a small vacation." I could see his smile slowly fade and turn to a slight frown.

"So you don't want to give us another chance?" He asked.

"Honestly I do, but how are we going to make it work? We'll be long distance and I mean your famous, I'm studying to be a nurse."

"Jess, I'm going to support you in anything and everything that you do. We can make us work, give us another chance please?"

"If I say yes would that make you kiss me?" I asked smiling.

"I'd kiss you a million times if you want me to."

I laughed, "yes." He kissed me repeatedly, a never ending trail of kisses all over my face. I could feel my cheeks hurting from how hard I was smiling right now.

I'm really glad I'm giving Kendall and I another chance, hopefully we can actually do better this time.
