Kendall left out of 2J feeling ecstatic, nothing could ruin his good mood. He was on his way to see his girlfriend of three months, Jo. As he walked the familiar way to her apartment he thought about all of the things he had planned for them. First, they would go to the pool and spend some time in the cool refreshing water, and then they would go for a walk in the park before having a small picnic. Afterwards he planned to buy a movie for them to watch together while they sat together in her apartment. Yup, Kendall thought, it was the perfect plan for the perfect day he was planning to have with Jo.
Kendall was wearing his favorite gray and black striped shirt along with a dark blue pair of loose jeans. He also sported his gray vans and a gray beanie as he walked down the hall. He had made sure to wear these clothes in hopes that they would bring him luck with the elaborate date he was going to have with Jo. Hopefully, nothing would go wrong on this day.
Kendall continued to walk until he saw the door where Jo was currently staying at the Palmwoods. He knocked, but no one answered the door. He knocked again, louder, with more force. Still no answer. Exasperated, he brought out the spare key she gave him for emergencies. He stuck it in the lock and heard a 'click'. He smiled to himself in satisfaction, relieved that his plans wouldn't be ruined when they hadn't even started yet. He walked into the apartment slowly, as if fearing that Jo would suddenly jump out at him.
"Jo?" he called, but did not get a reply. He walked toward her bedroom thinking that she might still be asleep. He heard noises coming from the room and thought that she was snoring as she often did. With a small smile he cracked the door opened and gasped at what he saw. Jo was lying on top of someone kissing them with a passion. Kendall couldn't believe it. He turned his head slightly to get a glimpse of who she was with and was filled with anger when he saw Jett slowly rubbing his hands up and down her sides, settling on her waist.
He pulled away from the door because he didn't want to see anymore. Kendall made his way out of the apartment as fast and as quietly as he could. He shut the door softly, not wanting them to know he had been there. He made his way back to 2J at a leisurely pace. He was hurt because he had really liked Jo, surprised because he never thought that she would cheat on him, and angry that he trusted someone that he shouldn't have. Kendall had always prided himself for knowing who could be trusted and who couldn't be, but now he was having second thoughts about it.
As he came up to the apartment he shared with his best friends and family he took a deep breath. Kendall slowly put his hand on the doorknob and turned it. He walked in planning on going straight to his room but stopped when he noticed Carlos in the kitchen. Carlos looked at him and asked the question he least wanted to hear at the time, "Are you alright?"
Kendall put on a fake smile and said, "Yeah, I'm fine."
Carlos didn't seem to believe him but before he could ask about it Kendall asked a question. "What are you doing?" he asked, problems momentarily forgotten. Carlos blushed slightly, the red showing up on his caramel skin. "Baking cookies." he answered quietly. Kendall raised an eyebrow wondering why his usually hyper friend was baking cookies. He decided to voice his question.
"Why?" he asked he walked toward Carlos. Carlos shrugged, "I thought it would be fun?" he said though it came out as more of a question. Kendall decided not to say anything else about it. "I want to help." Maybe this could help him forget about Jo.
Carlos looked momentarily surprised, obviously not expecting him to want to help. He smiled after the shock wore off and said, "Sure." Kendall nodded and asked, "What can I do?" Carlos looked thoughtful for a moment before he started to explain to Kendall what they would need. "I was planning on making chocolate chip cookies so we will need some chocolate chips, three eggs, some sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, butter and a big bowl to stir it all in."
Kendall started to gather the things they would need to make the cookies as Carlos found an egg beater to stir with and a teaspoon for measurement. When all the materials were collected Carlos asked Kendall to fill half of the bowl with flour. Kendall took the bag of flour and poured it in quickly causing it to fly in all directions. He looked up at Carlos who had flour all over his face and in his hair. "You're covered in flour," he said between giggles. Kendall couldn't keep from laughing and after awhile Carlos joined him. "You are too." Carlos responded. He imagined that he looked the same as Kendall if not worse and that served to make him laugh harder.
After they cleaned themselves up a little Carlos added three teaspoons full of sugar, one of salt, and one of baking powder. He threw a stick of butter in and a cup full of chocolate chips. He looked to Kendall and smiled. "Wanna crack the eggs?" Kendall nodded and took the three eggs offered to him. He took one and tried to break the shell by banging it against the counter, like he had watched his mom do many times before. Kendall soon figured out that it was harder than it looked when the egg shell broke and the yoke fell onto his hands and the table.
Carlos looked at him and giggled. "What?" Kendall whined with a pout. Carlos grabbed a rag from the sink to clean the yoke up. While he was cleaning the table Kendall discreetly stared at his face that was full of mirth. Carlos began to clean Kendall's hands. He looked up at him for a second and they just stared at each other for a moment. Then Carlos looked away blushing and made quick work of Kendall's hands. He grabbed them and placed another egg in his left palm. He proceeded to showing Kendall how to correctly crack the egg.
Kendall nodded in understanding then after watching Carlos for a long while said, "You're really good at this." Kendall knew he wasn't the best baker but he was just finding out that Carlos actually was. Carlos blushed from the compliment he received from his best friend. After the eggs were put into the bowl Carlos put some water in and began to stir it. The ingredients mixed to create a slightly thick batch of light brown cookie dough. Carlos stuck his finger inside and brought it back out. He gave it a tentative lick and smiled when the cookie dough felt like heaven inside of his mouth. He pushed the bowl toward Kendall. "Here, have some." He tried to persuade Kendall. Kendall did and he smiled when he figured out how good it tasted.
Kendall grabbed two baking sheets and sprayed them with butter. Carlos then took the bowl and poured medium sized circles across the sheets. He set the oven to three hundred and fifty degrees and waited for it to heat up. They each put one inside of the oven and Carlos shut the door. He returned to the bowl and grabbed two spoons. "Wanna share the rest of the cookie dough?" he offered to Kendall with a rose colored blush heating his face. Kendall took the spoon and nodded.
They sat there eating cookie dough, Carlos with a smile and Kendall with a smirk. Kendall looked at Carlos and noticed he had the delicious dough all around his mouth. Kendall grabbed a wet cloth and said, "Here," as he wiped the cookie dough from Carlos' face. Once again they stared at each other. Still staring into Kendall's green eyes he asked, "Did you get it?" Kendall slowly leaned forward and said, "Almost," just as his lips met Carlos'.
The kiss was slow and sweet. Kendall wrapped his arms around Carlos' waist; he couldn't get close enough to the brunette. Carlos slipped his arms around Kendall's neck. They pulled each other as close as possible. Carlos tasted like the cookie dough they had just devoured. They let their eyes fall shut as they focused on the kiss. Carlos wished for it to never end but the need for air became too great for the both of them and they pulled apart.
They were in their own little world until the timer that Carlos had set for the cookies went off. Kendall turned around and opened the oven to take the cookies out. Carlos, on the other hand, was damning the timer to hell for ruining his moment with Kendall. They took the cookies and put them in another bowl after they had cooled off.
"Kendall?" Carlos asked with a slightly nervous expression. Kendall looked to Carlos. "Do you want to know why I was really baking these cookies?" Kendall nodded and Carlos continued. "I was baking them for you."He said. "Me?" Kendall asked looking confused. Carlos nodded. "When I was younger my mom always baked me some cookies and told me that she loved me when she gave them to me. If I was feeling sad or I did something to make her really proud she would make me cookies. They would always put a smile on my face. She told me that if I ever fall in love with someone, I should bake that person their favorite type of cookie and give it to them when I told them my feelings. Sweets are a sure fire way to someone's heart, she would always say."
Kendall began to put two and two together. Chocolate chip was his favorite kind of cookie so that means… . "Y-You love me?" Kendall asked in an incredulous tone. Again Carlos nodded; he felt like his heart might explode because of how nervous he was. He chanced a glance at Kendall who had a blank expression. He waited a while longer because he wanted Kendall to have time to process what he was told. Kendall still hadn't said anything and Carlos was beginning to panic. "I know that you're with Jo but…" Kendall cut him off. "I'm not with Jo anymore." He said with little emotion. "What, why?"Carlos wondered. He knew that they shouldn't have kissed because it wasn't fair to Jo but he hadn't been able to bring himself to care. "I caught her cheating on me with Jett. She doesn't know it yet but we are over, I plan to tell her next time I see her."
Carlos couldn't help being happy that they weren't going to see each other anymore. He was currently celebrating in his head and thanking Jett for taking her away. But he suddenly thought about how Kendall was feeling about this. "Are you ok?" Kendall smiled, "Yea, I don't want her anymore. I want you." Carlos blushed as Kendall leaned in for another kiss. It was as slow and sweet as their first kiss but Carlos reluctantly pulled away with a smile. He needed to get a few things straight before they continued. "Does this mean that you want to be my boyfriend?" Kendall looked away and put on a thinking face. "Well," he said, drawing out the word. He looked back to Carlos and smiled, "Sure."
Carlos' smile got even wider as he wrapped his arms around Kendall's neck. He smelt the cookies and remembered that he had to give them to Kendall. He pulled away and grabbed the bowl off of the counter. He pushed the bowl into Kendall's hands gently and said, "These are yours, I love you." He said quickly while looking Kendall directly in the eyes. Kendall smiled. He thought about how Carlos was able to take his mind off of Jo and how he enjoyed the time they spent together. He wouldn't trade it for the world. Carlos was always able to make him feel better about any situation. Plus he loved him and that is a lot more than he could say for Jo. Kendall had made his decision, "I love you too Carlos, thanks."
Kendall grabbed Carlos' wrist and dragged him to their bright orange couch. He sat the cookies on the table and took one out. He handed another to Carlos who happily accepted. Kendall took a bite of his cookie and kissed Carlos, sharing the cookie. Carlos eagerly accepted the piece of cookie he received from Kendall's tongue and swallowed it. When they pulled apart he had a smirk on his face. Kendall and Carlos finished their cookies then leaned in for another kiss. Kendall noted that Carlos tasted like the cookies. "Delicious," Kendall said and Carlos blushed.
"You like the cookies?" Carlos asked in awe, he had never baked cookies for someone before. "Uh Huh. They are the best I've ever had." Kendall smiled wide and took another cookie to prove his point. Carlos smiled and nodded, showing that he agreed. They sat there and ate cookies and shared sweet kisses. When all the cookies were gone Kendall got up and went to the kitchen. He returned with a tall glass of milk. He drank half of it then passed the rest to Carlos who happily drank from the glass.
Carlos yawned and asked, "Want to take a nap?" Kendall nodded and lay down on the couch, leaving enough space for Carlos to lay against his chest. Kendall wrapped his arms around Carlos' waist and held him close. Carlos leaned up and gave Kendall one last kiss, which the blonde eagerly returned. He heard Kendall's breathing even out alerting him that he had fallen asleep. He pressed his head against Kendall's chest and smiled as he let Kendall's heartbeat lull him to sleep.
