**I don't own big Time Rush or any of its characters...except Annabel**

When they arrived, Annabel smiled as Kendall opened her car door for her and led her into the hotel. As they reached their hallway, they both stood awkwardly at Annabel's door.

"Umm, do you want to come in for a bit?" Annabel asked blushing like crazy.

Kendall shifted his weight from one foot to the other but silently took her room key and let them both in.

"Do you want anything from the kitchen?" Annabel asked placing her wallet and keys on the counter before joining Kendall on the couch in the living room.

Kendall took her small hand in his large one and played with her fingers before letting a low laugh escape from his throat, "No, not from the kitchen…"

Annabel looked confused and scooted closer to him.

Kendall placed her hand on his chest, right over his heart and Annabel gasped at how fast it was racing. It made her heart's tempo pick up too. But it wasn't his heart that startled her. It was his eyes. They weren't the lovely hazel anymore; they were dark, primal and staring right into Annabel's own brown eyes.

"I…want…you." He placed a hand on her cheek and pulled her in until there were only inches between them.

"Kendall, I can't." Annabel managed a whimper before feeling his lips crush hers.

The kiss was short lived but left Annabel's head spinning. When the broke apart, Kendall gazed into her eyes and she knew she couldn't say no to him anymore today. He looked into her eyes to make sure going further was okay and she nodded, her heart ready to beat out of her chest. He leaned in for another kiss but landed one on her forehead first. She smiled and placed a kiss in the crook of his neck before moving her lips to his jawline. Kendall let a low moan escape as he moved an arm around her waist. She leaned into him and rested her head on his chest as he kissed her hair and rubbed her back. Annabel stayed in his arms thinking about what this day meant. What this moment meant. What he meant to her.

"So does this mean you're fired from Roque Records?" Kendall asked hoarsely.

"Does this mean you are?" She retorted.

"God, I hope not. Not for either of us." He breathed into her hair.

"What they don't know won't hurt them?" She looked up at him, to find him smiling back down at her.

"So does this mean that you like me as much as I like you Annie?"

"Kendall Knight, you have no idea." Annabel whispered.

Hey I just met you and this is crazy, but here's my number so call me maybe!

Kendall's phone rang loudly breaking their calm moods.

"Hello? Oh Hey Logan. Umm, yeah I think so. I'm at Annie's place. No Logan you didn't interrupt anything sexy. Oh shut up! Yeah I'll let you know man. Kay, bye." Kendall hung up the phone and sat up still holding Annabel by the waist, "So Logan was just informed that the new skate park down the street finally opened. He wants me to go and try it out with him. Are you okay if I go?" Kendall kissed the top of her hand gently.

"Go. Have fun. I'm going to take a nap before I have to go shopping with James. Tell Logan I said hi." She kissed Kendall on the cheek, "And thank you for…today."

Kendall nodded and mouthed a goodbye before letting himself out.

A few hours later Annabel woke groggily to the sound of "Love me, Love me" By Big Time Rush. She felt like she was dreaming as she listened to the boys' voices in harmony. As reality rushed back to her she realized that she overslept. She immediately rose off the couch and grabbed her phone, answering to a very grumpy James on the other end.

"Hey did you forget about our shopping trip?" He asked and Annabel could almost see the frown on his face.

"No, James, I'm sorry. I took a nap and overslept. I'll be out at your car in three minutes." She hung up her phone and quickly ran to her bathroom to fix her hair before heading out of the building. She found James leaning against his car. James was dressed in black tight jeans and a gray V-neck with a black blazer over top. He looked Annabel up and down and smirked.

"Kendall's sweatshirt?" He asked, the smirk turning into a mocking smile.

Annabel just smiled as she entered his car and they drove off.

"So…are you and Kendall like a…thing now?" He asked keeping his eyes on the road.

Annabel really hadn't thought about what she and Kendall were potentially labeled as.

"I don't think so." Was all she could come up with.

James didn't look satisfied but didn't press the issue any further. They sat in silence until they reached the local outlets and entered the men's department.

"Great, so what should I wear Ann?" James turned to Annabel for suggestions.

"Where are you taking Kennedy?" Annabel asked searching through a rack of black vests for James's size.

"We are going to a nice little club-y restaurant in Hollywood. It has fantastic food, karaoke, dance competitions, all kinds of cool events." James answered picking out a red V-neck to try on. He went into the dressing room with his arms full of clothes.

Many hours and MANY James Diamond ensembles later…

"James! I found THE perfect jeans in your size! Come out!" Annabel yelled into the men's dressing room, holding a pair of jet black jeans. James emerged from the dressing room in the blue button down shirt and black vest that Annabel had picked out for him. Annabel smiled as he slipped into the jeans and fixed his hair. He looked perfect! "You are getting this outfit, mister. You look fantastic." And it was true. He looked like a model, perfect form head to toe.

James looked at himself in the mirror, a huge grin spread across his face, "I do look good don't I?" Annabel nodded. "Good enough to get lucky with Kennedy?" James looked at Annabel who doubled over laughing.

"Maybe," She answered trying to catch her breath.

James raised an eyebrow at her, "Would I get lucky with you?"

Annabel stopped laughing and looked at him seriously, "Oh, James..." She trailed off as she moved closer to him and placed a hand on his chest. She could instantly hear his breathing quicken. James was staring at her with doe eyes. Annabel began laughing earning a very confused look from James. She backed up laughing harder at how she could affect him, "No, James, you wouldn't get lucky with me because you are like my best friend and brother."

James looked at her in angry shock, "That's not funny! You can't just do that and then laugh! Not fair!" He yelled as he stormed back into the dressing room and returned in his original clothes minutes later.

Annabel hooked arms with him, "I'm sorry Jamesy." She said in a little girl voice and he couldn't help but forgive her. James paid for his clothes and they headed into his car. Starships were meant to fly. Hands up and touch the sky. Can't stop cause we're so high. Let's do this one more time. James's phone rang that song from his favorite singer Niki Manaj.

James looked at the screen of his iPhone, "Oh it's Carlos." He answered his cell, "Hey man, what's up?" He listened for a minute, his eyebrows came together and he looked worried, "What's wrong with her?" He asked after a minute, "We are coming home. No, Carlos we are. Okay, Bye." James looked like he was going to puke as he turned to Annabel, "We have to go home, now. Carlos's mom is in the hospital." Annabel looked in shock as James started the car and sped away towards the Palmwoods.
