Drive By- Chapter Seven

Adelaide walked into the crowned bagel shop and went and sat down. It was Monday morning and Adelaide didn't have to be into work until 10 and it was 8 now. Olivia called her and told her to go pick up her order of bagels. Olivia said that they will call her name when it's ready.

"Order for Adelaide DuPont." The clerk yelled. Adelaide walked up to the front. She paid for the bagels and felt a tap on her back. She turned around confused, her face went straight to a frown. She was shocked.

"What do you want?" She asked angrily. Kendall thought for a second. He knew that he was going to see her one of these days, but he didn't think of what he would say. When Carlos asked him to come down here to get bagels for the gang, he didn't think he would see Adelaide.

"To say I'm sorry." Kendall said. Adelaide snorted and turned around and finished paying.

"Adelaide I'm serious. Please let me explain what happened. We can go for coffee right now. Please." He begged. She looked at him. She really did want to know what happened and why he had been following her. She looked at her watch, 8:30, Her work was around the corner.

"Somewhere around here, I have work soon." She said. Kendall's face brightened. He didn't think she would except.

"Yeah, there's a Starbucks a couple stores down." He said. She nodded and grabbed the bag of bagels. They walked out and she stopped at her car and put the bagels in and turned to Kendall.

They walked into the coffee shop in silence. Adelaide ordered a salted caramel hot frappachino.

"You don't get vanilla bean frappuccinos anymore?" Kendall asked. She was shocked that he was remembering all these things about her.

"Uh not as much, in France my boyfriend told me to get it and I really liked it so I always get it now." She said awkwardly. Kendall deflaited.

"You have a boyfriend?" he asked, afraid of the answer.

"Uh no, that was like the first winter I was there." She said. Why did he care? So he could get her back and then break her heart again. Adelaide thought. Kendall order his drink. Before she could get her wallet out, Kendall had already paid for both drinks. She walked over to the pick up counter and he followed.

"You know, you don't have to pay for me." she said firmly. "I do have money."

"I wanted to." He said with his usual charming smile, which angered her.

"Look I don't know what kind of shit your trying to pull on me, but I'm not going to fall for it again." she said, making sure her voice wasn't too loud. Kendall looked at her in shock.

"I swear I'm not trying to pull anything." He said. She rolled her eyes and picked up her drink. They went and sat down and a two person table.

"Look Adelaide. I'm fully aware of what I did to you and how badly I screwed up with you. You know me, before I was with you, I was the biggest player. But I don't know what it is about you, but you were different. I was really falling for you. And that night. Best night ever." he said with a smile. Adelaide looked at her drink and picked at the cardboard on the outside of the cup.

"I left because I was overwhelmed. I don't fall for anyone but I fell for you. I was scared. That doesn't happen to me. I really love you Adelaide." he said as he put his hand on hers. She moved it away quickly and looked up at him.

"Bullshit. That is complete bullshit. I bet you say that to everyone you want to get twice. I'm not as stupid as I use to be Kendall." Adelaide said with fury in her eyes. Kendall looked at her shocked.

"No I'm ser-" he started before Adelaide interrupted him.

"How many girls have you been with since I left?" she asked. He looked at her.

"What?" he asked as he furrowed his eyebrows.

"How many girls have you been with since I left?" She repeated in the same emotionless voice. He looked down in shame.

"My point exactly. Stop pretending Kendall. Two years in France has done a lot to me, and clearly nothing to you." Adelaide said and took other sip of her drink.

"Adelaide, why would I be trying so hard if I didn't care? Why would I be trying so hard to get back a one month relationship after two years? I really do care about you. I've loved you every since you left. I've thought about you every single day. I'm truly sorry for what I did to you and I want to fix it. Please?" Kendall asked taking her hand and looking in her dark brown eyes with the gold around the edge. She didn't pull her hand away as fast this time. She looked at her watch.

"I'll think about it. I have to go to work. Bye." She said and threw her drink away and left. Kendall was left sitting at the table, thinking. I'm getting through to her. She'll let me back in and I won't mess it up this time. Kendall thought confidently. He left the coffee shop with a big smile on his face.

Carlos and Olivia were sitting at a table a few away from Kendall and Adelaide's.

"Well it's a start." Carlos said. Olivia smiled and nodded. She didn't think that they would start dating again, but if they could all hang out again like old times, that we enough for her. As long as Adelaide was happy, she was happy.
