I'm really glad people are liking this so far. Like, you have no idea. I was afraid this would be crap, but so many people seem to enjoy it. So thank you! :D
Chapter Four
When Friday finally rolled around, Kendall found himself excited. Excited for his date with Logan. He had never looked so forward to a simple date before. But Logan... Logan was so different. He texted Kendall the past several mornings. Just to say "good morning." And he told Kendall he didn't expect him to text back because Kendall might be busy. When they discovered that their lunch breaks were at the same time the day before, they talked on the phone as they ate. And the past two nights they texted until Kendall could barely keep his eyes open.
"Why are you all smiley?" Camille asked Kendall. She was manning the desk at the daycare.
"I have a date this evening," Kendall informed her cheerily.
Camille smiled. "With Logan?"
"Yeah. I've never been so jazzed for a first date before. Or so nervous. What if he decides he doesn't like me? What if it was just the chase that kept him into me?"
"Kendall, calm down," Camille said. "When I saw him at the library earlier this week, he couldn't wait to ask about you. And harassing your best friend about whether or not you'll call him is hardly a chase. He's just plain into you."
"I hope you're right." He started to sign Mattie out, just as Mattie noticed him. He watched Mattie get his things.
Mattie walked up to him. "I'm ready."
Kendall smiled as he picked Mattie up. "Someone's eager to go home." He said good-bye to Camille and walked out of the daycare.
"I wanna take Fudge for a walk in the park," Mattie said.
"Not today." Kendall put Mattie in his car seat then got into the driver's seat.
"Why not?"
"Because I said so." Kendall started to drive, and thought about how he'd tell Mattie he'd be going on a date that night.
"Can we go to Build-a-Bear?"
"Not today."
"Why?"
Kendall sighed. "We can go tomorrow, OK?"
In the rearview mirror, Kendall saw Mattie smile. "OK!" Then he happily went on talking about all the things he did at daycare.
Once they got home, Kendall had Mattie gather some of Fudge's toys. They took the dog in the backyard to play for awhile. When Carlos arrived home, Kendall asked him to keep Mattie busy while he got ready for his date.
Kendall took a quick shower, then stared at his closet for some time. He realized he had no idea what to wear. He knew they were just doing a movie and dinner, so he didn't need to wear anything fancy. But he still wanted to look nice. He didn't really own any casual yet nice clothes. He sighed as he grabbed a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. There went any plans on impressing Logan by looking good.
It was after he pulled on his shirt that he heard the crying. "I don't want him to go!" Mattie screamed.
"No, no, no," Kendall mumbled. "Not tonight." Sometimes Mattie threw fits when he found out Kendall had a date. And the longer it was since Kendall had a date, the worse Mattie's fits were when Kendall finally had one. Kendall's date with Logan was to be his first in seven months. Now he was afraid Mattie's freak out would cause Logan to cancel the date.
Kendall ran down the stairs. He got to the living room and saw that Carlos had Mattie on the couch, trying to calm him down.
"NO!" Mattie yelled, and chucked Professor Bear across the room. Fudge ran after the bear and carried it—though it was currently larger than him—back to Mattie. Fudge sat on the floor by the couch, looking up at Mattie while holding Professor Bear's arm in his mouth.
Kendall sat himself on the coffee table. "What's wrong, Mattie?"
"Uncle Carlos says you have a date."
Kendall looked at Carlos. Carlos mouthed, "Sorry." Kendall sighed and looked back at Mattie. "I do."
"I don't want you to go!"
"Well, I'm going." Unless Logan ends up feeling bad, he thought.
"What if you don't come back?"
"I always come back."
"Sometimes you don't come back 'til morning," Mattie said through the tears.
"I'll be back before you go to bed."
"I don't believe you!"
Kendall heard the doorbell ring. He turned to look at the clock over the TV. Logan was just on time. Great. "Carlos, please get that." As Carlos walked away, Kendall said to Mattie, "You're not stopping me from going."
"Please?"
"What's going on?"
Kendall looked up at Logan. "Sometimes he gets upset when I have dates."
"Oh." Logan sat next to Kendall on the coffee table. Kendall found it weird that he felt much calmer with Logan next to him. "You don't want me taking your daddy out, Mattie?"
"No," Mattie said. "You won't bring him back 'til morning."
Logan raised his eyebrows. "I was actually planning on bringing him back much earlier than that."
"Liar!" Mattie accused. "I don't want you taking Daddy away! You're prob'ly a meanie like the lady before!"
"Do I seem mean?" Logan asked.
"You could be pretending to be nice," Mattie muttered.
Logan took his phone out of his pocket. Kendall feared he was trying to fins an excuse to get out of the date. When Logan put his phone back away, he said, "Let's make a deal," to Mattie.
"A deal?" Mattie asked.
Logan nodded. "Yup. You come with us tonight, and you can decide whether or not I'm nice. We'll go see a kids movie, and go to dinner wherever you want. My treat."
Kendall could not believe what he was hearing. Logan wasn't canceling their date. On top of that, he was willing to bring Mattie along.
"Really?" Mattie asked, just as shocked as Kendall felt.
"Really," Logan said. "But. If you decide I'm nice, the next time I go on a date with your daddy you stay home."
"What if I decide you're mean?"
Logan smiled. "That's up to you."
Mattie thought for a second. "Then I get to go with you and Daddy every time you date."
"Alright," Logan said. "Deal." He held out his hand.
With a smile, Mattie took Logan's hand and shook it. "Deal."
"Carlos," Kendall said, "can you take Mattie upstairs and put him in some clothes that aren't covered in dirt and grass stain?"
"Sure," Carlos said. He picked Mattie up and went upstairs. Fudge followed, Professor Bear still in his mouth. He had some difficulties getting up the stairs, but he managed.
Logan laughed as he watched Fudge. "Cute dog."
"Why'd you do that?" Kendall asked.
Logan looked at him. "What?"
"You offered to take Mattie with us."
Logan shrugged. "He was upset about you leaving him. And worried that I was gonna keep you, I guess. Hopefully, bringing him along will ease his worries. Also, I didn't want to cancel our date, and this seemed like the best solution. Does it bother you?"
"No," Kendall said. "It's just... No one's offered that before. People usually get pissed that I spend time trying to calm Mattie down and end up canceling the date because it takes so long."
"Well, that's rude."
Kendall smiled and kissed Logan. He had forgotten how good Logan's lips felt against his own. He would've kept kissing Logan if he hadn't heard Carlos, Mattie, and Fudge coming down the stairs.
Mattie walked up to them, holding his bear again. "Can Professor Bear come too?" he asked Logan.
Logan smiled. "Sure." Logan looked at Kendall. "You OK with driving?"
"Yeah," Kendall said. He and Logan stood. "You better be good," he added to Mattie.
Mattie gave him that smile that made people who didn't know him well enough think of him as an angel. "I will," he promised.
"Uh-huh." Kendall picked him up. He grabbed the keys off the top of the entertainment system. "What time is the movie playing?"
"In about a half hour," Logan said as he followed Kendall out the door—with a good-bye wave to Carlos. "Is the new Disney/Pixar movie OK?"
"Oh yeah," Kendall said while putting Mattie in his car seat. He shut the door. "Mattie says he wants to see it every time the commercial comes on. You don't... have to pay for us you know."
"I want to," Logan said.
"But... both the movie and dinner?"
"I told Mattie dinner was his choice. Does he have expensive taste?"
Kendall chuckled. "No. He's gonna want to go to the diner near the mall."
"I love that place," Logan said, opening the passenger door, and getting in the car.
Kendall felt himself smile. "Of course you do," he said to himself.
During the drive to the theater, Kendall listened as Mattie told Logan about his day. Kendall loved that Logan actually heard what Mattie said. He didn't pretend to listen. He laughed when Mattie laughed. He commented on various things Mattie said. He asked Mattie questions.
They reached the movie theater. Kendall parked and shut off the car. "Mattie, Professor Bear has to stay here."
"But he wants to see the movie!"
Kendall sighed. "You can't take him everywhere."
"Why not?"
"You're getting too big for that," Kendall said.
"Please, Daddy?" Mattie begged, tears in his eyes.
Kendall groaned. He did not need Mattie crying again. "Next time he stays in the car."
Mattie smiled then, the tears magically gone. "OK!"
Kendall got out of the car. He knew his sister had taught Mattie that trick. He'd seen her do it a million times.
"He's good," Logan commented, getting out of the car as well. "I couldn't do that until I was ten."
"I couldn't until I was seven. He's not getting away with it next time." Kendall opened the door and got Mattie out of the car.
Mattie hugged Kendall happily as they walked to the entrance. "Love you, Daddy."
"Yeah, yeah. Love you too." Kendall saw Logan laugh and smiled.
Logan paid for their tickets, then they got in line for food and drinks. "What do you want, Big Guy?" Logan asked Mattie.
"Um..." Mattie rested his chin on Kendall's shoulder as he thought. "Popcorn and lemonade."
"They only have pink lemonade," Logan said. "Is that OK?"
Mattie lifted his head. "That's better than regular lemonade."
"It is," Logan agreed with a smile. He looked at Kendall. "Small popcorn and drink?" Kendall nodded. "And what do you want?"
Kendall considered. He didn't want Logan wasting money on him. "Um... How do you feel about sharing?"
Logan grinned. "I'm a fan of sharing."They reached the front. Logan ordered a small popcorn and small pink lemonade for Mattie. Then he ordered a large popcorn for himself and Kendall.
Once in the theater, Kendall put Mattie down in the seat at the end of their row. He sat next to Mattie, and Logan sat next to Kendall.
"Daddy, can you hold Professor Bear while I eat my popcorn?" Mattie asked.
Kendall sighed. "Sure." He took the bear, handed Mattie his popcorn, and put the bear in his lap.
As the previews played, Mattie announced that he wanted to see every single movie. Kendall told him that they would, and then said that he had to be quiet when they movie started. Mattie replied, "I will," not so quietly or politely.
Kendall's heart fluttered every time his hand brushed Logan's when they went for popcorn at the same time. He was pretty sure Logan was doing it on purpose, but he didn't mind. It was probably the most touching they'd do since his son wormed his way into the date. Once the popcorn was gone, Logan grabbed Kendall's arm and put it around his shoulders. Then Logan rested his head on Kendall's shoulder. Logan also placed a hand on Kendall's knee and kept it there for the rest of the movie.
"Did you like it?" Logan asked Mattie as they walked to the car after the movie.
"Yeah!" Mattie said from his spot in Kendall's arms. "I was so good."
"I liked it too," Logan told him. "So where do you want to go for dinner?"
"Marty's Diner," Mattie said happily. "It's my favorite."
At the diner, they all talked about their favorite parts of the movie. Kendall was a little disappointed that he had to sit across from Logan instead of next to him. But Mattie always had to sit next to Kendall. Then Mattie, feeling bad that Logan was sitting alone, let Professor Bear sit next to Logan.
When their waitress came, Logan ordered a turkey club, Kendall a BLT, and Mattie a grilled cheese.
"So, is Mattie starting kindergarten in the fall?" Logan asked.
"Yup," Kendall said with a smile. "And he finished pre-school a couple weeks ago."
Logan asked, "Do you like school, Mattie?"
Mattie shrugged. "It's OK."
Logan laughed. "I know the feeling. I'm old and still in school."
"That sucks," Mattie said with sympathy.
"I know that Carlos wants to be a kindergarten teacher," Logan said to Kendall.
"Yeah," Kendall said. "That's why he asked my mom for a job at the daycare. That way he has experience dealing with the kids. I know a lot of people think it's weird..."
"Until you get to know Carlos," Logan finished.
"Exactly. And Carlos is great with kids. What about James? Is he also a future teacher?"
"He is," logan told Kendall. "He aims to be a high school History teacher."
"So that's how you guys know Jo, Dak, and Lucy. Not just through Carlos. James is part of the band of teachers."
"Yup. Jo will be good with Drama, and so will Lucy with music. I don't know Dak that well, but my friend Jett is working to be an English teacher like Dak."
Kendall tilted his head in surprise. "You don't know Dak well? Huh. You guys run in the same gay circles." He saw Logan shoot a look at Mattie. "Mattie knows what being gay means."
"It's when two boys like each, or when two girls like each other in the special way," Mattie piped up. "Daddy is half gay."
Logan laughed. "You've dated guys before, obviously," he said to Kendall.
"Yeah. It was a little hard to explain to him."
"But I got it," Mattie said proudly.
"You're a smart kid," Logan told Mattie.
"Sometimes it's annoying though," Kendall teased, tickling Mattie's side.
Mattie giggled. "Stop!" When Kendall did, Mattie stuck his tongue out at him.
"Rude," Kendall said with a laugh, and poked Mattie's nose.
After their food came, Mattie asked, "Daddy, can we go to Build-a-Bear?"
"Mattie..."
"But we're by the mall!"
"Logan probably has places to be," Kendall said.
"I don't mind," Logan put in. "I was too old when they put Build-a-Bear in. I kinda always wanted one..."
"Maybe you can get one," Mattie suggested.
"Nah. It's OK," Logan said.
Kendall now knew that if he was ever going to get Logan a gift, that's be it. "You're not paying for his bear's stuff," he said to Logan.
Logan smiled. "Fine. But I get to help Mattie pick out clothes for Professor Bear." Logan patted the top of the bear's head. "If that's OK with you, Mattie."
Mattie grinned. "OK! Sounds fun."
They went to the mall after dinner.
"We're only going to Build-a-Bear," Kendall said to Mattie, who was holding his hand and trying to quicken their pace.
"OK," Mattie responded impatiently.
Logan chuckled and took hold of Kendall's other hand, lacing their fingers together. Kendall felt like a middle school girl with the way his heart skipped a beat. And Logan's hand felt so right with his, like his hand was made to be holding Kendall's.
Once in Build-a-Bear, Mattie let go of Kendall's hand and went up to Logan. He pulled at the hem of Logan's shirt and said, "Let's go find clothes for Professor Bear!" He pulled Logan off toward the clothes.
"One outfit, a bathing suit, and sunglasses," Kendall said while he followed them. "That's it." And all that would be expensive as hell. Every time they went there, Kendall ended up pretty much broke. But it made Mattie so happy. His green eyes lit up with so much joy whenever he walked into the store. How could Kendall deny him?
Logan helped Mattie pick everything out. He suggested things that Professor Bear would look good in. And said what sunglasses made the bear look cool. Mattie agreed all the way.
Once they were done at Build-a-Bear, they made their way back home. During the drive, they listened to a kid-friendly radio station. Mattie sang along to all the songs he knew.
Kendall pulled into the driveway. "Logan. Uh, do you want to come in for a bit?"
"Sure," Logan said with a smile.
"I can show you my toys!" Mattie said excitedly.
They went inside, and Mattie dragged Logan to his play area. The house was set up so that the living room and dinning room were to be one big room. Kendall and Carlos had set up a TV, entertainment system, coffee table, and sectional sofa in one part of the room. Behind that area was where the majority of Mattie's toys went. As well as various play sets, and Fudge's cage and toys.
"Now you gotta see my room!" Mattie said and led Logan upstairs.
Kendall sighed and followed. Fudge right behind him.
"I like the stickers on your door," he heard Logan say.
"Stickers are awesome!" Mattie said as Kendall and Fudge entered the room. Kendall watched Mattie go to his bedside table and open a drawer. He took something out and went back over to Logan, who was seated on the floor. "The sticker packs always come with more than one sheet of the same stickers. Daddy only lets me use one sheet. You can have this one."
Kendall widened his eyes. Mattie never let anyone touch his stickers. They were like precious jewels to him. And now he was just giving some away to Logan. It was amazing.
"Thanks," Logan said, taking the sticker sheet. "Oh wow! The Avengers!"
"Yeah!" Mattie said with a nod. "You gotta put 'em on the outside of your bedroom door so everyone can see."
"I will," Logan promised. "Hey. Can I asked you a question?"
"Sure." Mattie sat in Logan's lap as he changed Professor Bear's outfit.
"Did you decide if I'm nice?"
Mattie let out a breath and looked up at Logan. "You're nice. But can you promise me something?"
"Of course."
"Will you tell me before you have Daddy spend the night at your house?"
"I promise," Logan said.
Kendall walked up to them. "Maybe sometimes Logan will spend the night here."
"That'd be so fun!" Mattie said.
Kendall kneeled down and ruffled Mattie's hair. "Say good-bye to Logan now."
"Aw!" Mattie stood and hugged Logan. "Bye, Logan."
"See ya soon, Big Guy."
"Go ask Uncle Carlos to start your bath," Kendall said to Mattie. "He's in his room. I'm gonna walk Logan to his car."
"OK!" Mattie ran off, Fudge on his heels.
Kendall helped Logan up, and they headed downstairs and outside. "Sorry we didn't get to know each other more tonight."
"There's always next time," Logan said, leaning against his car. "And I had fun. Mattie's a good kid."
"When he wants to be."
"Was the crying when I first got here fake? Like with the bear?"
Kendall shook his head. "No. That was real. He was just being a pain in the ass with the bear." He stepped closer to Logan. "I think he really likes you."
"Yeah?"
"He doesn't even let me look at his sticker collection."
Logan smiled. "Now I feel special."
Kendall put his hands on Logan's waist. "You are. I don't anyone would have ever considered bringing Mattie along. And even if they did, they sure as hell wouldn't have fun. You had fun. So... Thank you." He gave Logan a quick kiss.
"God, your kisses are amazing," Logan said, making Kendall grin. "Um. There's a children's even at the library on Sunday. If you're not working, you should bring Mattie."
Kendall was so glad he had off that Sunday. "I will." He kissed Logan once more. "I should go. Bath time can get crazy."
Logan chuckled. "Bye. See you Sunday."
After Logan drove away, Kendall went to take over bath duty. Later, Kendall tucked Mattie in and asked, "Do you like Logan?"
"Yup," Mattie said with a yawn. "He's nice and doesn't talk to me like I'm a baby."
"So you wouldn't mind me seeing him again?"
Mattie gave him a sleepy smile. "I want you too see Logan again."
Kendall ran a hand through Mattie's hair. "Then I will." He kissed Mattie's forehead. "Love you, kid."
"Love you too, Daddy."
Kendall turned on the movie of the night—Princess and the Frog—and left to tell Carlos about his date. All the while looking forward to Logan's nightly text.
…
On Sunday, Kendall met up with Camille at the library. They took Mattie and Emmy inside, and brought them straight to the children's section to do crafts. There Kendall saw Logan, who was helping kids and talking to parents. Logan looked in his direction and smiled before walking over to him.
"Hi," Logan said to Kendall. Then to Camille, "I'm glad you came."
"Well, when Emmy found out Mattie would be here, she practically beat me down to come here," Camille said.
"Hi, Logan," Mattie greeted happily from the craft table.
"Hey, Big Guy," Logan said with a smile.
"Will you come to our house after?" Mattie asked.
"Well... I was thinking maybe you and your daddy could come to my place," Logan said with a glance at Kendall. "We could watch a movie and order pizza."
Mattie looked at Kendall with hopeful eyes. "Can we, Daddy?"
"I do want to," Kendall said to Logan, "but my mom likes having us over for dinner on Sundays."
Logan shrugged. "That's fi-"
"We see Grandma all the time," Mattie complained. "I wanna see where Logan lives."
So did Kendall. "Fine. I'll call Grandma and tell her we won't be there today."
"Yay!" Mattie went back to his crafts.
"Will your mom be mad?" Logan asked.
"She'll deal," Kendall told him. "I'll go call her now. Camille, will you watch Mattie?"
"Duh," she said.
Kendall rolled his eyes and headed outside. His mom was clearly annoyed that he and Mattie wouldn't be over later. Especially because they'd be spending time with the guy he was seeing. Kendall was sure she wouldn't mind if it had been a girl instead.
He went back inside after a fifteen minute long argument. The kids were all seated around Logan who had a book in his hands—Horton Hears a Who.
Kendall found Camille and went to stand next to her as Logan began to read. He grinned as Logan chanced his voice for the various characters. "Thanks," he whispered to Camille.
"For what?" she asked.
"For coming here earlier in the week. You helped Logan figure out I have a kid."
"That wasn't my intention, you know. I wanted to see how he reacted to me having a kid so I could ease your worries and whatnot."
"Either way, it led to good things," Kendall said.
Logan finished the book and the kids clapped. Logan told them their crafts should be dry and they could pick them up on their way out. But he also strongly encouraged them to look at books before they left, and maybe check a few out.
Kendall and Camille went up to their kids, who were talking to Logan.
"So when are you done here?" Kendall asked Logan.
"When I'm finished cleaning up."
"Oh, you can go now, Logan," an older woman said.
Logan looked surprised. "You sure, Lisa? I don't want you cleaning up alone."
"Don't worry," Lisa said. "Jenny will be here soon. I'll make her clean up. You do more work than her anyway."
Logan smiled. "Thanks, Lisa." The woman walked away. Logan looked at Kendall. "Wanna follow me to my place?"
"Sure. Ready to go to Logan's, Mattie?"
"Yes!" Mattie said, jumping up and down happily.
They said good-bye to Camille and Emmy, then made their way to Logan's. Kendall recognized the building. He drove by it everyday on his way to work.
"What is this place?" Mattie asked Kendall while they got out of the car.
"An apartment building," Kendall said, deciding to carry Mattie.
"Wow," Mattie said, like it was the most interesting thing ever. He held tight onto Professor Bear, who had been in the car while they were at the library.
Kendall went up to Logan, and followed him inside. They walked up to the second floor.
While Logan unlocked his door, the door to the apartment across the hall opened. "Logan."
Logan turned. "Hey, Jett. This is Kendall and Mattie."
Jett glared at Kendall. "Hello..."
Kendall had never felt like someone hated him before. Not until then. "Hi."
"Bye, Jett," Logan said while pulling Kendall into his apartment. He shut the door with a sigh, and hung his keys on the hook on the door. "I'll explain Jett later," he promised Kendall.
Kendall was glad he hadn't imagined the tension. "OK."
"I have to pee," Mattie announced.
Logan chuckled. "I'll show you to the bathroom."
Kendall followed him through the small living room and into the hall. At the end of the hall was the bathroom.
"I can go myself," Mattie said.
"No way," Kendall told him. "I don't need you peeing all over Logan's bathroom."
Logan laughed. "I'll call the pizza place. What do you want on it?"
"Extra cheese is fine," Kendall said.
"Alright." Logan headed back to the living room.
Once finished in the bathroom, Mattie and Kendall walked down the hall again.
"Look!" Mattie said, pointing.
Kendall did. Mattie was pointing to one of the shut bedroom doors. Around the doorknob were Avengers stickers. Logan actually put the stickers on his door. Mattie ran off and Kendall followed.
"Logan!" Mattie flew onto the couch and into Logan's lap. "You put the stickers on your door!"
Logan smiled at Mattie. "I told you I would."
Kendall sat next to Logan, still amazed that Logan did that. "Um. Where's James?"
"On a date with Chick-Fil-A girl," Logan said. "You guys want some drinks?"
"Yes, please," Mattie said.
Logan moved Mattie out of his lap and went to the kitchen. Kendall saw that Logan had put the Nick Jr. channel on. Knowing Mattie would be distracted for awhile, Kendall followed Logan.
Logan smiled when Kendall entered the kitchen. "We have fruit punch. Is that OK?"
"Yeah," Kendall said. While Logan got out cups, Kendall asked, "What's the deal with Jett?"
Logan sighed. "During my slutty phase, he was the only guy I slept with more than three times. When I decided I wanted to change my ways a bit, he suggested we be fuck buddies." Logan poured the drinks. "He eventually revealed to me that he wanted an actual relationship with me. I feel bad for not wanting Jett like that. Especially because he's never wanted that with anyone. And I didn't see it coming at all. I should've seen it. James wasn't surprised. Jett's nicer to me than he is to anyone else. Jett never liked that I had a creepy crush on you."
"So he's jealous," Kendall said. "Of me. Because he wants you."
"Yeah."
"But you don't want Jett at all."
"Nope."
"So I don't have to worry?"
Logan put the fruit punch away and went to Kendall. He put his hands on Kendall's shoulders. "You're the only one I want," he said and kissed Kendall.
Kendall eagerly kissed back. He wanted to do more. So much more. But Mattie was only a few feet away in the living room. He pulled back. "We should get back out there."
"OK."
They watched TV with Mattie until the pizza came.
"What movie do you wanna watch?" Logan asked Mattie while Kendall cut up Mattie's slice of pizza.
"Do you have any Disney movies?"
"I do," Logan answered Mattie.
"Really?" Kendall asked as he placed Mattie's food in front of him.
Logan nodded. "I grew up with the princess movies, so I bought all the DVDs. And got the new ones too. James doesn't mind because he thinks the princesses are se-pretty."
"They are pretty," Mattie said. "Can we watch Tangled?"
"Sure." Logan stood and went to the DVD case. "Which princess do you think is prettiest?"
"Jasmine! And she has a tiger!"
They watched the movie and the three of them finished the pizza. Mattie manages to squeeze his way in between Kendall and Logan.
"I can't believe you put the stickers on your door," Kendall said at one point.
"Why?"
"A twenty-one year old dude with super hero stickers on his bedroom door? Most would be too embarrassed to do that."
"I'm not," Logan said. "Plus, I told Mattie I would."
"Not many people keep promises they make to kids."
Logan smiled. "I guess I'm not like most people."
"Yeah," Kendall agreed. "You're better."
The movie ended, and Kendall and Mattie got ready to leave. "Are you free Wednesday evening?" Kendall asked Logan.
"I am."
"Would you like to go out to dinner me?"
Logan grinned. "I would like that a lot."
"Pick you up at six?"
"That works. I'll text you later." Logan gave Kendall a kiss.
Mattie said "Ew!" making Kendall and Logan laugh.
"You're gonna have to get used to that, kid," Kendall warned.
Hmm... Not sure how I feel about the ending if this chapter. Or of this chapter as a whole. Sorry if it was lame. :/
