I Don't, But I Do

Chapter Three

Whoa, sorry it has been a while. I've been traveling, some of you guys know that I'm a traveler if you were around when I went to China in the summer. I'm back, the story is back. Enjoy. 

Refresher:

Kendall POV

"Kendall." It was Katelyn, I sat up a bit and turned the TV down. "Yeah, what's up?" She sounded like she was crying. "Katelyn what's wrong?" She continued crying. "Katelyn I can't help you unless you tell me what's wrong Katelyn?" Did she find out about the deal? She probably did. "S-Someone's t-t-trying t-to t-take the s-studio." Yep, she did.

"Really? That's crazy, I can help you Katelyn, just wait a little longer and I'm sure everything will turn out just fine." She sniffled, "How do y-you know?" I didn't want to tell her yet, I wanted it to be a surprise, and I didn't want to get her hopes up. "I know it will Katelyn." She went quiet. "You wanna do something to get your mind off of this mess?" She sniffled again.

"S-sure." I chuckled, "Ok, then I'm coming to pick you up." She sniffled, "Ok." I nodded, "Ok, I'm coming now." She blew her nose, "Ok." I got up and got my keys. "Ok, I'm going to hang up now." She sighed, "Ok, b-bye." I got off the elevator. "Bye." I got in my car and drove to her house.

I pulled up to her house and went to the door. Before I could knock, Holden opened the door. "Hello. Kendall." I smiled, "Hi Holden." He glared at me. I think he's still mad about how the divorce went. He invited me in and Katelyn came down. "Thanks for taking me out Kendall." I hugged her, "You're welcome."

Maybe Katelyn and I could work out as friends.

Katelyn POV

You know this was weird for me. I remember Kendall and I were going at our throats, but then again that was six years ago. I looked at him as he drove to where we were going. I do believe he has that ego still inside of him, but he's not showing it as often. "Kendall." He looked over at me, "Yes?" I looked ahead at the road. "You've changed...a lot. You've become this big softy I have never see before. Why so soft?" He chuckled and shook his head. "You know that's a good question. I honestly think that it's easier for us to be friends to be in a relationship. I think that's when the worst comes out in me." That question was always in my mind. Why was he suck a dick to me when we're in a relationship? When he was with Sarah, he was the nicest person ever to her. With me, he was a complete jerk.

"Uh huh," I said unsure. "That may be the case." He nodded. "So where are we going?" I asked. He sighed, "To the most relaxing place ever. My house." I laughed. "Ok, that's fine." He pulled up to this ginormous house. "Yeah I had to move out the penthouse because I had to buy something that's really important, so I had to cut corners," he said. "Well this house is your definition of cutting corners, then it must've not been that much." He shrugged. We got out the car and went into the house.

"What do you think?" I looked around in awe. "It's amazing Kendall. Everything is granite and other types of stone. It's beautiful." He nodded. "Thanks." We sat in his living room. "You want something to drink. Alcoholic, non alcoholic?" I chuckled, "Not right now." He nodded. "Ok, now tell me about your studio being taken away." I sighed. "Well I got a call from the city a few days ago saying that two people were interested in buying my property, but I don't know who." His face went pale. He nervously laughed. "T-that's crazy. I'm sorry that's happening." I nodded. "Yeah, and I don't have the money to buy them out, so I pretty much lost that competition."

"Don't give up hope because miracles can always happen. You never know." I sighed and shook my head, "Well Kendall, miracles usually don't really happen for me." He chuckled and shrugged, "You don't know that." I tilted my head with a confused look. "You know something Kendall?" He shook his head unusually fast. "Nope, you want some yeah?" He grabbed my hand and took me to the kitchen. "You actually cook Kendall?" He laughed hysterically. "That's funny, I have a chef." I threw my hands up. "I should've known. Should've known." He chuckled.

"So you gotta girlfriend Kendall?" He sat down on the counter. "Nope. Boyfriend?" I nodded, "I did have one, but it was basically a fluke, it wasn't really supposed to happen." He jumped off the counter. "Oh yeah. Why'd you guys break up?" I pursed my lips. "He basically had another girlfriend. I didn't really care, so that was a good excuse to break it off. I didn't have to tell him I didn't like him." Kendall frowned and looked at the ground. "He still bother you?" I nodded, "Yeah, all the time, Holden beat him up once, but he won't stay away."

Kendall and I were having a really good conversation. I honestly don't think we've had a good conversation exchange...ever. "What's his name?" He asked. "Dylan Chambers." He thought for a minute and nodded. "You want me to beat him up?" I laughed, "You? Beat someone up? You're afraid of getting your loafers scuffed." He laughed. "Hey, I can beat someone up if I needed to." I walked over to him and patted his shoulder. "Yeah yeah, you keep believing that ok Kendall?" He pushed me away. "You can't push me." He got down and pushed me again. "Just did...again." He said. He picked me up and put me on his shoulder. "Kendall Schmidt I swear you better put me down." He threw me on the couch. "Or what are you gonna do?" I kicked him in the knee. He put grabbed his knee. "Oh ok, so that's what you're going to do. OUCH!" I smiled.

"Shut up big baby." He laughed and then he got serious, really quick. "You think about me still Katelyn?" Oh why that question? Why, why, why? I decided to be honest. "Nope." Yep being honest didn't work. I think about him way more than I should. His whole demeanor changed. "Not at all?" I shook my head. Why could I not tell him the truth? "Oh..." He got up. "I think we've spent enough time together, let's go." See what I do to myself? "Aw why?" He shook his head, "Let's go." I stood up. "Ok, you were all unicorns and bunnies five minutes ago, what happened." He looked down. "If it was between the two of us, I would think you'd being doing it more than me." I gave him a confused look, "What?" He shook his head, "You don't think about me at all, but I think about you, this "marriage" we had, and the things we said to each other six years ago, all the time." I was speechless.

Kendall doesn't like to share his feelings and for him to say this to me, I never thought something like this would come out his mouth. "I-." He cut me off. "Save it, this clearly shows that I care about you way more than I should." He ran his hand through his hair. I grabbed his shoulders. "It's not like that." He looked at me, "Then what is it like." Now I found six years ago I pressured him to tell me his feelings. 

Yet, six years later, I'm in his shoes and can't tell him what I'm feeling.

What did you guys think? Again, sorry for the wait. Nothing else to say so, Until Next Time.
