Tori smiled as her sunglasses covered eyes peeked from the corner and noticed Kendall was also trying to slickly look at her through his sunglasses. He smirked as they walked side by side. They took a cab to Long Beach, walking the same direction they did six months ago. She bit her lip as she racked her brain to come up with something to say.
All of a sudden Kendall stopped and admired the sun that shined brightly over the water. The beach wasn't littered with people, only a few people walking their dogs or jogging.
"Wow, what a beautiful scene." Kendall said.
Tori looked around and realized that it was this very stop where he took a picture of her with the sun setting behind her. When he dropped the news about the tour. She felt her vision cloud up from the memory but kept herself from crying.
"It is."
Kendall stood still for a few more minutes till he finally looked over at Tori, the wind blowing easily, making her hair flow back. The scene was memorizing. He felt his heart race as he stared at the beautiful girl beside him.
When Tori caught Kendall staring she offered him a small smile, shocked when he returned it with a bigger, brighter one.
"Does this place bring any memories back?" Tori asked cautiously.
"No," Kendall shook his head sadly.
Tori's smile dropped as she looked at her sand covered feet.
"But I'm never going to forget this, you standing right here, looking... Beautiful."
Tori's heart swelled with love. She wanted nothing more than to swing her arms around his neck and kiss him senseless.
"Come on, I wanna take you some place else."
"Okay, lead the way."
Tori started to walk ahead but Kendall reached forward and clasped their hands together, intertwining their fingers.
Tori looked down and slightly blushed, Kendall noticed and smirked. Their hearts both pumped at the same rate. Kendall liked the newly familiar feeling.
Tori called out a cab, never letting go of Kendall's hand.
"Where are we going?" Kendall asked Tori as the cab driver looked back at them.
"Downtown Hollywood please."
"Okay, miss."
Kendall looked at her with a questionable glance.
"Trust me."
Within the long drive, the young couple kept stealing glances, answering Tommy's questions.
"Hey, aren't you that boy from that boy group?" His italian accent thick as he looked at them through the mirror.
"Uh, yeah." Kendall said slightly defensively.
"My daughter loves your music. That's all she ever yaps about."
"We love our fans." Kendall smiled.
Tori squeezed his hand and smiled widely over to her boyfriend.
"We're here." Tommy announced, stopping on the side of the busy street.
"40.50"
Tori reached inside her purse but Kendall beat her to it.
"Keep the change."
"Thanks, boy. Say, is it too much to ask for an autograph?"
"No problem." Kendall said with a smile.
"Tommy, give me your phone. A picture and an autograph would win you the best dad award." Tori said.
Tommy reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. Tori leaned back on the seat and snapped a picture.
"Perfect. It was nice meeting you, Tommy."
"Yous too." Tommy said saluting them a goodbye.
The couple waved the cab goodbye and stepped into the busy sidewalk.
"Where too?" Kendall asked grabbing a hold of her hand once again.
"We're going to my favorite place on earth."
Tori began to pull Kendall down a few streets, window shopping and pointing at a few things.
Once they got near the old fashion styled Starbucks Tori's smile brighten, as she almost jumped up for glee.
"You want coffee?" Kendall asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Don't you remember?"
"No?"
Tori noticed his stature got tense. She bit her tongue from the slip she made.
"Sorry."
"Its alright. Why are we here?"
"Right in this spot, a rude guy ran into me, knocking me down. I thought he was a rapist when he covered my mouth with his. But then I hated him when he assumed like I knew who he was. A complete stranger with an ego the size of a moon. Meeting him was the greatest accident of my life."
Kendall felt jealousy shot through his body. He felt sick to his stomach from listening to his girlfriend talk about another guy. He was oblivious to her dreamily stare that she was giving him.
"It was you Kendall. Right here. At this exact spot. You ran into me. Knocking me down with you on top of me. You were being chased by a group of fans and you kissed me. Then you let your fame get to you, when you assumed I knew who BTR was."
Kendall knitted his eyebrows together to try to regain some of that memory but nothing came to him. His shoulders slumped down as he failed to share the same emotions as Tori. He wanted to feel a sea of different feelings as she told him this story. He wanted to hug her and kiss her, let her know that he also remembered. But he couldn't.
"Its okay if you don't remember."
"No its not. I can't tell you I feel the same because I'm still trying to figure it all out. I want to say I love you and mean it. I want to share the same genuine smile like you always have on your face when you see me. It hurts me when I fail to give you what you want. I feel like I'm disappointing you. And that's the last thing I want to do. Maybe we should break up. Because I don't think I can ever have the same feelings. Not over night and not as fast as you and everyone else is hoping."
Tori felt her eyes blur with the unshed tears building around her bottom lid.
"I'm sorry, but I don't think we should continue this. I can't continue to hurt you." Kendall said turning around. His heart felt like it was going to tear into two.
"Wait." Tori's voice cracked.
Kendall stopped, closing his eyes, holding his breath.
"Yeah?" He said turning around.
Tori's cheeks were wet as her chin quivered.
"I don't care if you don't remember tomorrow or a month from now. I don't want anyone else. I don't want you to give up. Its going to hurt more not to have you in my life than to have you say you don't remember me. I can't lose you. I love you too much to let you slip through my fingers."
Kendall let go of the breath he held in, and looked deep into her sad eyes.
He leaned in and cupped her face, kissing her plump lips. The taste of salty tears mixing with her cherry chapstick.
"I won't give up." Kendall whispered as they connected foreheads.
"I love you." She said offering him a small smile and sharing an eskimo kiss.
Kendall pulled back and wiped her wet face dry. He kissed her gently again, trying to express the feelings he couldn't say out loud.
He took her hand and they walked down the block. Kendall stopped when he got spotted by fans, taking pictures and signing for autographs. All while sending small winks towards Tori's direction.
Tori knew somewhere deep down he wasn't going to remember what they used to have but he wasn't going to give up on her. And that's all she had. All she needed.
