Chapter 27: Forget About It

I wake up seeing Kendall's sleeping face, strands of his hair had fallen down on his face from his quiff. His pink plump lips were formed a frown, I admired his face when a wave of panic hits me when I see that we're still at the beach. I check the time on my phone that was lying on the sand. 10:05, I'm late for my classes I try waking Kendall up.

"Kendall." I shake him gently.

"Hmm" he says half asleep.

"Wake up, we're late for our classes. I don't know why my alarm didn't go off."

"It did, but I turned it off." Kendall's eyes still closed.

"Why did you do that for! Now I'm going to fall behind. If we go now I can make it to the rest of my classes." I get up brushing off the sand.

He finally gets up and watches me panic while I gather the things. "You need a day off. And besides you've already ahead of everyone else, missing one lesson won't do anything." He gets up and I fold the blanket.

"I guess you're right." I sigh in defeat.I could really use a shower.I had managed to get sand all over me somehow.

He grabs blanket from me and wraps his fingers around my hand. The thought of spending the entire day with Kendall made me excited and nervous.

I lean into him as we walk back to the car.

He opens the door and I get in his which smelt like mints and cigaret making my stomach churn.

Tempted to tell Kendall to stop smoking I decide against it, for now.

We arrive at Kendall's apartment after making a stop at my place so I could get a few necessities of mine. Kendall had insisted that I spent the entire day with him. And I just couldn't say no.

"What do you want to do?" The thought of being with him made me excited like a kid in candy store.

"Anything, but I'm going to take a shower first." I leave Kendall in the room and get in the shower and wash the sand away.

"You should lock the door next time." I get startled by Kendall who was leaning against the basin. My instant reaction was to cover myself with my hand. "Go please." I beg him, feeling embarrassed by the way I look and turn away from him. Not wanting to make eye contact. I've always been insecure about my body. "I just wanted to say your phone was ringing and they said it's urgent." He says

"Cute butt by the way." He teases me before leaving.

I check my phone it was a call from Louis. I immediately call back. "Hey is everything alright?" What could be so urgent. "Uh yeah things are going fine." Louis hesitates. "Are you sure?" I ask. "Yeah nothing you need to worry about." Louis knew me too well if it was something important he would tell me so I ignore it. "Who was the guy that' answered before?" He asks.

"Oh that.. that was Kendall."

"Ohh so he's your new man know. Just remember to be safe."

"Shuut-upp" I blush. "How's everything back at home? How's Eleanor doing?"

"Everything's great! I'm meeting her in a bit. I'll talk to you later. bye." I get off the phone and walk into Kendall's kitchen.

I look through his cabinets and fridge looking for something decent.

I wonder when was the last time he had something decent to eat by looking at the state of his food storage.

I go through his fridge one more time looking for something to eat, I grab a few ingredients and cook a meal for two.

"You didn't have to do this." Kendall points at the table.

"I know, but I wanted to. And besides I was hungry." I shrug.

"Your hair looks nice." I go on my tippy toes to reach his head and mess his hair. It was flat down, just like how it used to be. Still damp from the shower he had.

"What's the deal about Victoria?" I ask wondering why she is such a big deal.

"Nothing, I've known her for a while now and she gets along with everyone."

I had my legs over Kendall's lap his hand around me holding me up on the soft sofa. "She got along with you? That's a bit hard to believe." Besides Logan no one really got along with Kendall here in Chicago. James, Carlos and Dustin weren't that close to him I guess. Kendall's eyebrow furrow and he looks dead serious.

"Hey I was kidding." The thing about Kendall is you never know when his mood changes. "Smile." I poke his face where his dimples would show even when he's talking. "Laugh, smile, sing." I poke him three more times till he turn his head to face me. "You should smile and laugh more often, it's the most beautiful thing I've seen and heard."

His green eyes go wide.

"What?" I ask him, starring at me. "Why is this happening? Why are you in my life again." he says in the nicest way possible. "Well maybe destiny gave us another chance to be."

"Destiny? Really you believe in all this?" judgment in his tone.

"Not sure. But one thing is for sure I do believe in karma."

"How so?"

"What goes around comes around. Simple as that. You do good things. Good things will happen to you." I point to his hard chest

"Not really, look what came back to me." The air between us changes drastically. I rest my head on his shoulder. "I'm sorry, just try and forget about it."

"I can't." He says under his breathe loud enough for me to hear. He rests his head on mine and all I can see is images from the awful night.

"Ok no! No more of this depressing stuff. Let's do something." I get up and stand in front if him.

"You can do me?" Kendall smirks at his perverted thoughts.

"I mean a movie or something!" I try not to smile. "Do you want to go out?" He looks outside.

"No not really." I would prefer staying in. "Ok a movie it is." He goes through a endless list of movies we could watch and we decide on Spiderman.

"Didn't you used to have a comic collection?" I ask taking my spot next to him. "Yeah." He wraps his arm around me and pulls me close.

"What happened to it?"

"I grew up and got over it. People change."

"Sure but you love spiderman just as much don't you." He tries to hide the smile on his face knowing I'm right.
