Kendall

Kendall listened to his girlfriend's words as she explained her previous day of exploring the campus and London with her future schoolmates. It was the beginning of day three in London and the two had the day to themselves. He could hear the excitement in her voice and he was glad she was happy. However, being in London was only reminding him that next time she'd be in this city, he wouldn't be there with her.

After a morning of wandering around aimlessly, the two found a restaurant to get lunch. A few tables over, a couple was making their affection for each other apparent- too apparent, PDA and cliche nicknames included.

"We don't look or sound like that, do we?" Genny asked, amused by it. "In public, I mean. I'm sure Lisa wants to stab herself in her ears whenever you come over and she has to listen to us talk to each other." She wasn't able to drown out the couples' voices. "This is painful."

Kendall started laughing. "I hope we don't. I don't think we do, at least. You're too busy being a douchebag and making fun of me for us to have conversation like that. Besides, we can come up with better pet names!" He paused to think of one. "I don't think you'd enjoy me calling you penguin all day. Penguin, of course, because you enjoy the cold for some reason. Also because you are short."

"Shut up, I tower over you."

"Sure, on opposite day."

"I don't think you'd enjoy me calling you 'fluffy panda snake' all day, either."

"What the hell is a fluffy panda snake?"

"Exactly."

He shook his head and smiled. Genny was strange like that, but Kendall was used to it and he liked that about her. "I'm guessing you're not excited to go home tomorrow?"

"Eh," she began with a shrug. "I'm only not looking forward to the plane ride. Other than that, it's been successful weekend, so I don't really mind. I'll be back, anyway. So, are you and your family planning something awesome for a Christmas getaway this year?"

Kendall shifted in his chair before answering. "I think we're just staying home this year. I'll be doing as lot of travelling when the new year comes, anyway. That's for sure."

"You excited to go on tour again?"

Their conversation was interrupted when their waiter came to take their orders. Kendall went for a burger, with a list of complicated ingredients Genny wouldn't dare to eat together and she just went with a mushroom burger. When the waiter left, Kendall felt her stare locked down on him and he when he looked up, he realized he was right. "What?"

"That doesn't sound organic," she smirked, jabbing him for his eating habits, which she didn't find bad at all. She just enjoyed making fun of him.

"Well," he said while trying to come up with a comeback. "Mushroom burger? Genny, don't do drugs." He shook his head at his terrible comeback. "Well, hey, you used to be a pescetarian. What was that even about? At least you're not up to that anymore, which means I can enjoy bacon with you any time I want."

"For the last time, it was a bucket list thing!" she laughed. "And you have pet pig! Enough with the bacon thing."

"Hush, child," Kendall said, realizing it was a mistake. She raised an eyebrow. Their stares were still locked on each other and Kendall knew exactly how she would respond to his comment.

"Said the person who's dating the child," Genny said, knowing she won that argument, if there was any argument in that at all. She started laughing as Kendall brought his fingers to his temples. "Plus, you may be older, but I'm smarter. Remember that, Kendall Francis."

"Way smarter," he nodded in agreement. "You have to stop with the middle name thing, Genevieve." Having an awkward-but-not-awkward age difference had its downsides sometimes. Kendall sometimes forgot she was a few years younger than him. People always mistook her for being older than she actually was. He shook his head before continuing the conversation. "To answer your question: yes, I am excited to go on tour again, even though we just recently came back from one... With the same opening act."

Genny shrugged. "Hey, the fans love you on tour together. You know, you and Lisa share the same fan-base kind of thanks to the last tour. The less fan-wars, the better."

She did have a point and he agreed. Besides, he thought it would be fun to tour with Lisa again. He enjoyed her company and he knew the rest of the guys did, too. "Do you think there will be arguments between Lisa and Logan this time?" He laughed a bit, still surprised that the two were even on good terms now. "Still think it's weird, by the way."

Genny agreed. "You know, at this point last year, Lisa was using Logan's picture on the dartboard in our apartment. I think she bought the dartboard solely for that reason." She shrugged. She knew Lisa had her ways of releasing anger and hate; at least she wasn't physically hurting him, or herself for that matter. "If those two can work things out before the tour, then there will be no arguments, aside from the cliche couple argument everyone has."

"How are those two anyway?"

"Eh, no word from Lisa yet," responded. "I know they like each other, that's an obvious one, but Lisa's still trying to look past the biases she has towards him."

"Don't blame her. He was an asshole when they first met." Kendall thought about Logan finally getting back in the dating game. He thought Logan would never recover, but he seemed to be doing just fine with Lisa.


The two were back in their hotel room later that night and Genny was quick to throw herself onto the bed due to the fatigue caused from their day exploring the city. Kendall let her be, because she knew she was bound to fall asleep at any moment. He, on the other hand, was not as tired and began gathering his things together to put back in his suitcase.

While doing so, he couldn't help but think about his relationship with Genny, how he wouldn't trade it for anything else in the world. He knew she would be back in this city in less than two months and he wasn't exactly a fan of knowing she wouldn't be around. He didn't understand why he was thinking about it so much. He knew she was more than just excited to be coming back; he was one of the people who encouraged her to study abroad. It wasn't like she would be able to go on tour with him, anyway, so he told her to go for it since the timing was right.

Still, he was upset that she wouldn't be around, like any normal boyfriend would be. It was the biggest downside of being a successful musician/actor; there were times where he couldn't be the around the ones he loved, and that's when it hit him.

This weekend they spent in the city of London, Genny was nothing but excited. He knew how much she wanted to visit and she got a weekend much earlier than planned. He knew Genny didn't want to leave. She was only there for a few days, but he was already able to tell she loved anything and everything about this place, from the fashion to the music scene and to the people- she did already make friends. Her coming back was probably going to make her fall in love with it even more. Maybe she wasn't going to want to come back to LA and would want to finish school in London instead.

Or worse.

Maybe she'd want to move there permanently.
