I let out a breath and knocked. Logan opened the door and greeted me with a hug, then ushered me inside.

I shook my head. "That's ok...is Kendall here?"

He smiled at me. "Actually, he's down by the pool. He should be back in a bit, though. You can go see him...or do you want me to tell him you were here?"

I nodded. "Here-" I wrote out my number for him, "-give him this. Tell him to give me a call whenever he gets back. Thanks Loges." I hugged him and left, wondering if I was doing the right thing. Should I just drop it? He did say Jo came onto him. And I guess he realized that it hurt me...

I sighed. I just needed to talk to him.


KENDALL'S POV

I couldn't stop thinking about her. The look on her face that night...I just couldn't get it out of my head. I need some way to make it up to her. And Jo. What was up with that? I mean does she want to get back together? Or was she trying to hurt Mira? Ugh. Too many problems.

I left the pool. I couldn't stand sitting across from Jo anymore. I really like Mira, and I don't think I'm going to get another chance. But what did she mean by liked? I hope she doesn't think I'm a douche for implying I want to date her, and then the whole...Jo thing.

I finally reached 2J and unlocked the door. Sonia, James, and Logan were on the couch, watching Criminal Minds. Jesus. Some chick just screamed bloody murder. How do they watch this stuff?

"Kendall!" Logan got up and walked towards me.

"Sup?"

"Mira came by. She wanted me to give you...-" he picked up a paper from the table, "-this." He smiled at me. I looked down at it. Mira: 215-555-0959.

"Wait...she wants me to call her?"

"Yeah, man. Don't waste any time." He slid my phone across the table at me. "Go get her." He patted my back on his way to the couch.

"Thanks, Logan!"

I went to my room to call her in privacy. Please pick up. Please.


MIRA'S POV

"Guys like me...like girls like you..."

"Shit," I muttered. Where's my phone? I listened again and reached down between the cushions of the couch. I felt it vibrate and pulled it out. "Ha. Gotcha."

I saw an unknown number...Kendall.

"Hello?"

"Mira? It's Kendall."

"Hi...I actually kind of wanted to talk in person. You wanna come upstairs?"

"Sure. Gimme a minute." I nodded, then realized he couldn't see me.

"K. 3D."

"Right. See you soon." I ended the call and let out a breath of air. I heard a knock on the door. Damn, did he run?

I opened the door to a smiling Kendall. I gestured for him to follow me in and sat down on the couch.

"You want a drink?"

"No, I'm fine thanks," he told me. "So you wanted to talk?"

I nodded. Why is this so hard? Just tell him.

"Yeah. Kendall I...I really like you. And I wish all of this never happened."

"Same. And I'm really sorry about all of it. But I wanted to tell you that I like you a lot, too. And I really am done with Jo. I honestly don't know what she was thinking..." He trailed off.

"Well, maybe we can just start over? We can try again...without all the drama."

"Yeah," he smiled at me. "I'd like that a lot."

"Me too."

"Where are your friends?"

"Oh, they all have dates...so it's just me and you." He smirked at me. And then I realized what I just said. "Ohmygod no, I wasn't saying that, y'know I was just...god. You wanna watch a movie?"

He laughed. "Sure."

I put in a movie and sat back down on the couch next to him. He draped his arm around me and I rested my head on his shoulder. Wow, he has nice arms. I could get used to this.


KENDALL'S POV

About halfway through the movie, Mira fell asleep. I guess she was comfortable which is a good sign. She leaned into me and wrapped her arms around mine. I smiled down at her.

At around 9 o'clock I heard a key in the lock. I looked down at her; she was still sound asleep. Grace, Sarah, and Callie walked in. Their eyes grew wide when they saw the two of us on the couch. I smiled and waved. I think they'll have to get used to me coming around here. I like that.

Grace coughed loudly and Mira jumped up. She saw her arms around me and blushed. She pulled away and then saw the girls. "Uh...hey guys! How were your dates?"

Grace smirked. "I'd rather know what went down while we were out."

Mira gave her a look and then smiled at me.

I got up from the couch. "So...it's getting late. I'll see you guys at the studio tomorrow." Mira signaled for them to go to their rooms. Grace stuck out her tongue but complied.

She walked me to the door. I gave her a hug and kissed her forehead. "Thank you," I whispered. "I really wanted this second chance."

She giggled. "Don't mess it up, Knight."

"Don't worry, Mitchell. I won't give you up again." I winked, gave her another hug, and left.

Now... what do I do about Jo?
