At 8:45 in the morning, the sound of the potato chip crunching resonated through the apartment as Naomi reached her hand back into the bag, retrieving more of the golden pieces. She walked out to the living room as she continued eating, and saw James perched on the couch.
His eyes shot open when he looked in her direction. He jumped off the couch, as he started his rant. "What the hell do you think you are doing?"
"Um…" Naomi looked at James confused as she slowly ate another chip. "…eating?"
James looked appalled. "Chips for breakfast?"
"Yea." Naomi said with a 'duh' tone in her voice. "Want some?" She held the chip bag in front of James' face, and he let out a girlish yelp while he backed away swiftly.
"Absolutely not!" He harshly pushed the bag away from him. "Do you how many calories are in a serving of those things? I'd have to work out for, like 3 hours to burn it off. Plus, it's like a heart attack in a bag."
Naomi rolled her eyes at James' musings. "You're just being over-dramatic."
"And," James continued ignoring Naomi's comment. "I can't believe that's what you're putting into your body first thing in the morning. Breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal of the day, and here you are eating junk. You should be eating fruit or yogurt, or something else that's healthy for you; not that crap."
Rolling her eyes for the second time, Naomi stomped back into the kitchen. "Alright, fine. I'll get something else to eat." She said, throwing her arms around in exaggerated movements.
"That's more like it." James commented when Naomi came back to stand in front of him, sarcastically taking a rather large bite of a banana. He chuckled slightly. "I'm heading down to the pool. Gotta work on my tan. Want to join me for some BFF bonding?"
"As fun as that sounds," James pouted a little, knowing she was going to say no, "I think I'm gonna see if Kendall wants to hang out today." She smiled brightly.
James' pout instantly turned up in a smirk. "Oh, really? Well, don't let me keep you from him."
"Shut up." Naomi said hitting James in the arm, and trying to hide her smile. Truth be told, she couldn't wait to see Kendall. No matter how much Naomi just wanted to remain friends with the blond, it was just near impossible. But hard as it was, she was going to keep fighting. Her resolve wouldn't crumble that easily.
James just chuckled again at the slight blush on Naomi's cheeks, which she was trying so desperately to make go away. "Alright, I'm going to the pool now." He said grabbing his things, and heading for the front door. "Have fun!" He said in a sing-sing voice, closing the door behind him.
Naomi softly glared in James' direction, even though she couldn't see him anymore. Naomi sighed and turned to sit on the couch and watch some TV as she waited for Kendall to wake up, which shouldn't be too much longer.
Carlos and Anna came running out of the hallway, laughing and carrying roller blades in each of their hands. "Hey, me and Carlos are gonna go do something stupid." Anna said excitedly as they ran towards the door.
"Have fun!" Naomi called to her from the couch. "Try not to break any bones!"
Anna stopped and turned to her sister, a smirk gracing her features. "It's too late for that warning. Carlos already broke his pinky." As if to emphasize the point, Carlos held up his hand, revealing his wrapped up finger.
Naomi held up her hands in question. "Doing what? It's only 9 o'clock." She said in disbelief.
Anna shrugged her shoulders. "I don't really know. We were just walking." Carlos let his shoulders rise and fall, then he turned and made his way out of the apartment with Anna close on his heels. Naomi just sat on the couch shaking her head and chuckling lightly to herself.
A few minutes after Anna and Carlos had left, Logan walked into the living room. "Morning, Sis!" He said brightly with a smile that was a mile-wide plastered to his face.
"Why do you look so happy this morning?" Naomi asked eyeing her brother with a grin.
"No reason." He walked into the kitchen whistling happily to himself. Naomi smirked; she knew what had Logan so happy.
"Hey?" She called to Logan about a minute later. "Could you go tell Kendall to wake up already? I'm bored." Naomi practically whined throwing her head back onto the sofa cushion.
"He's already awake." Came a reply from the other room. Naomi heard the faint sound of a beep, signaling a text message on someone's phone. And since nobody else was around besides Logan, it must have been his. "Alright!" Naomi jumped after hearing Logan shout from the kitchen.
A few seconds later, Logan walked back into the living room, trying very hard not to act like a giddy school girl. "I'll see you later, Nomes."
"Wait, where are you going?" Naomi asked curiously.
Logan smiled while heading for the door. "I'm gonna go hang out with Max." With that, he disappeared around the corner, closing the door behind him.
Naomi was left alone in the apartment, except for Kendall, whom she hadn't even seen yet. Getting up off the couch, she decided to go see what Kendall was up to, and ask if he wanted to do something. She walked down the hall towards his and Logan's bedroom. She stopped at the door before knocking when she heard music coming from the room.
With her curiosity peaked, Naomi slowly twisted the doorknob, and slowly pushed open the door. Placing her hand over her mouth, she tried to hold back a fit of laughter at the sight before her.
"I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me. Papa, paparazzi. Baby, there's no other superstar, you know that I'll be, your papa, paparazzi." Kendall sang into a hairbrush, dancing around in nothing but his boxers. "Promise I'll be kind, but I won't stop until that girl is mine. Baby, you'll be famous. Chase you down until you love me; papa, paparazzi." She smiled, not missing the change of words as he sang.
Naomi stood watching Kendall, mostly admiring his muscles as they tensed with each dance move, until he turned around and stopped dead in his tracks. "How long have you been standing there?" He asked warily.
Naomi chuckled. "Long enough. I didn't know you liked dancing around to Lady Gaga."
Kendall looked down in embarrassment. "Please, don't tell anyone about this, especially the guys?"
"Why not? It's funny."
"Oh, come on, Naomi. I will get down on my knees and beg if I have to." He said seriously. "I'm not too proud."
Naomi sighed. "Oh, alright, I won't tell anybody." Kendall sighed in relief, making Naomi smirk. "Okay then… I'll leave you to get dressed." Kendall looked down, realizing he was still in just his boxers. A blush creeped up his cheeks, staining his face read, as Naomi turned and shut the door.
Kendall scrubbed a hand over his face, and then proceeded to finish getting ready. "That was embarrassing!"

Kendall walked out of his bedroom about ten minutes later to find Naomi reading a book on the couch. He plopped down beside, startling her and making her jump. She looked up from the pages and turned to glance accusingly at a smirking Kendall. "Sorry." He said while he chuckled.
Naomi just rolled her eyes. "Sure you are." She closed the book on her lap, and turned to face Kendall. "Hey, you want to hang out today? Just the two of us?"
Kendall's eyes brightened at the idea of a full day, hanging out with the girl he loved. "Sure that sounds awesome."
"Great, what do you wanna do?" Naomi asked smiling happily. "I'm still not that familiar with the area, so you have to pick."
Kendall looked at the ceiling in thought, snapping his fingers when an idea came to him. "I got it! Let's go!" He grabbed Naomi's hand, and hoisted her off the orange couch. Naomi couldn't help but love the feeling of Kendall's hand wrapped around hers.
"Kendall, where are we going?" She asked as she was pulled down the stairs and through the lobby. She waved at James as they ran past him, still lounging on a sun chair. He just smirked back at her.
"You'll see when we get there." Kendall stopped by the passenger door of the Big Time Rush mobile, and jammed the key into the lock, opening and closing the door as Naomi slid into the seat. She shook her head as Kendall climbed into the driver's seat and started the car. "What?"
"You always do this to me." She stated matter-of-factly with a slight pout on her face.
Kendall chuckled at her expression. "Oh, come on, you know you love my surprises." He said nudging her in the arm. She just shrugged in response as Kendall pulled out of the parking garage and onto the busy highway.
Naomi smiled as she remembered her and Kendall's six month anniversary, which took place just a month before the boys left for Hollywood.
Flashback
"Kendall, this restaurant is too expensive." Naomi said as she looked at her boyfriend in front of her. "I wish you wouldn't spend so much money on me."
Kendall chuckled and reached his hand across the table to hold Naomi's. "You're my girlfriend and it's our anniversary. It's my right to spend money on you." Kendall ran the pad of his thumb over her knuckles in a soothing manner. "Plus, it makes me happy."
"You are such a hopeless romantic." Naomi smiled, making Kendall feel kind of nervous about what he was planning on doing tonight. With his free hand under the table, he threaded the small white gold chain between his fingers.
"Well, I try." Kendall smiled his award-winning smile. His heart began to pound in his chest as he mentally psyched himself up to proceed with his plans. He looked into Naomi's hazel eyes, like he could see straight into her soul, and continued to play with her fingers. "Baby, you don't know how happy you've made me these past six months."
"But I do know how happy you've made me." Kendall felt a surge of confidence at Naomi's words.
"I have something for you." Kendall said pulling the necklace from under the table.
Naomi's breath came rushing out with a 'whoosh' sound. "Kendall, it's beautiful!" He held in his hands a beautiful white gold necklace with a diamond encrusted key, which was in the shape of a heart, hanging off the end of the chain.
Kendall smiled and bit his lip, while he stood and walked up behind Naomi, hooking the necklace around her neck. "Now you can say you hold the key to my heart." She looked up at him with love shining in her eyes, and he leaned in, claiming her lips in a soft kiss before taking his seat in front of her again.
Present Day
Naomi looked out the window, unconsciously playing with the key that was nestled just beneath her shirt. Kendall noticed, but didn't say anything about it, knowing that if Naomi wanted to talk about it, she would bring it up first.

Logan and Max walked down the beach in Malibu, barefoot, enjoying the feeling of the sand squishing between their toes. A glimmer coming from her right made Max stop in her tracks. Bending over, she retrieved the shell from under the shallow waves.
"Look at this!" She exclaimed as she stood back up, handing Logan the seashell. Upon closer examination, he saw that the shell contained all the colors of the rainbow. But that isn't what made it so awesome.
"Wow, it's in the shape of a heart." Logan said turning over and over in his hands. "You don't see that every day." He handed the shell back to Max and they continued their walk.
Max smiled as she looked at the shell in her hand. "Yea, I'm gonna keep it. It'll remind me of you."
Logan smiled as he reached out his hand to grab Max's, intertwining their fingers together. "Listen, I know I've only known you for a few days, but there's something I want to ask you."
"Okay, go for it." Max said in encouragement.
Logan ceased their walking and moved to stand in front of Max. "Mallory," he said, resorting to her real name, "will you be my girlfriend?"
Max's face lit up like a kid's on Christmas morning. "Yes!" She said, throwing her arms around his neck, pulling him into a tight hug. Logan wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her close to his heart, where he planned on keeping her for a very long time.
A/N: Aww, how incredibly sappy! Yay! Max and Logan are now officially together.
