Authoress' Notes
Hey guys! I'm really sorry this one took awhile. I spent Holy Week (last week) with my family and friends so I was relatively busy plus I had major writer's block for this chapter. I hope you guys will like it! :) Oh and I forgot mention in the previous chapter that the song I used there is entitled: 'Edge of Desire' by: John Mayer. I used that song because a couple of days before I wrote that chapter I heard Kendall Schmidt and Logan Henderson do a cover of the song and it was incredibly A-MA-ZING! Listen to it and you won't regret it! :D
Meant For Me
Chapter Thirteen
"Should we wake them up?" Logan asked Camille who stood right beside him.
"No, they look so cute!" Camille squealed as Logan just smiled at her actions.
The two brunettes woke up a couple of minutes ago and were both surprised when they found their two blonde friends sleeping on the couch by the window.
Kendall had his back leaned on the wall and Jo laid peacefully on his chest as his arm was wrapped around her shoulders comfortably. They both had small smiles on their faces as they slept which freaked Logan out a bit.
"I knew they were secretly dating!" Camille told Logan as the two went into the kitchen to make themselves some breakfast as they left the two blondes to continue sleeping.
"It still doesn't make sense though. Why do they have to date behind our backs? I mean, no one would be against it or anything." Logan wondered skeptically as he brought out two cereal bowls and a box of 'Cheerios' from the cupboard.
"True, after what Dak said, I bet everyone at the Palm Woods thinks there's something going on between them so the two of them starting to date wouldn't be a surprise." Camille agreed as she got a carton of milk out of the refrigerator.
"Maybe they were afraid of what people might think?" Logan suggested as he poured some cereal into the two cereal bowls.
Camille just gave a confused look which signaled him to elaborate a little more on what he had said.
"You see, Jo and Dak just broke up and the fact that Jo has already moved on to another guy so quickly and so soon..." Logan trailed off, hoping Camille would get where he was going.
"Well, yeah, that kinda doesn't really help Jo's image in the situation but the way I see it, what you just said means that she and Dak we're never meant for each other and that it has always been Kendall." Camille told him as she poured some milk into their cereal bowls.
"You got a point there." He replied as he got out two spoons from one of the drawers of the kitchen.
"Do you think we should confront them about it? You know, just to be sure." Camille asked Logan as he handed her a spoon and as the two started eating their breakfast.
"Knowing Kendall, if there was something going on, he'd tell me about it when the time is right." Logan told her.
"Though aren't you the least bit curious about why they've been hanging around together so much lately or why they reenacted one of my acting scenes down at the lobby the other day?" Camille asked him as she blushed lightly when she had brought up Kendall and Jo's little performance.
"Yeah, I guess but sometimes it's just better to let things come naturally." He told her nervously as he rubbed his neck anxiously since he also remembered their blonde friends' scene when Camille had mentioned it earlier.
"You're probably right. Plus, curiosity did kill the cat didn't it?" Camille joked which got Logan to chuckle.
Jo stirred herself awake as she rubbed her eyes to get them adjusted back to the lighting. She sat up and stretched up as she looked over to her side to find Kendall still sleeping with a goofy smile plastered on his face. The sight made Jo giggle softly. She looked around the apartment and realized her two brunette friends were nowhere to be found. Alertedly, she stood up and panicked quietly as to not wake Kendall up. She went over to the coffee table where her phone was to check the time. When she grabbed her phone and pressed the power button, she found out she got a text from Camille. She unlocked her phone and read the text message on the screen which said:
'Hey Jo! You and Kendall were still asleep and it was already 9:00, and since we didn't want to disturb you guys, me and Logan went down and if you need us, we'll just be hanging around by either the lobby or the pool.' -Camille
Jo sighed with relief after she had finished reading the text message. She checked its details and saw that Camille sent it to her over an hour ago. Her phone's clock read 10:00 AM. She looked over her shoulder to see a still sleeping Kendall.
All of a sudden, the events that happened earlier that morning, rushed through her head. She woke up at one in the morning since she couldn't sleep due to the awful weather, then Kendall came over to her and eased her nerves by singing to her, then she clung onto him after a huge clap of thunder sounded off, then their faces became only a few inches apart until he closed the gap between them and kissed her as she kissed back without really thinking. Once the thought had hit her, Jo touched her lips slowly.
'I can't be in another relationship so soon.' Jo murmured to herself.
'I love Kendall, I really do but we can't be together, well, not yet atleast. We have other things to focus on like our plan for Logan and Camille which will get side track if we start going out.' Jo thought thoughtfully to herself as a lone tear fell from her face. She didn't want to wait but she knew that it was for the best.
She carefully and quietly walked over to where Kendall slept and planted a soft kiss on his lips.
"I love you and I'm sorry." She whispered as she slowly exited the apartment.
Kendall and Jo sat on the orange couch in 2J, thinking of other ideas for their plan as they had their laptops and their list of 'Lomille Hints' out on the coffee table.
"Do you think their kiss yesterday changed anything?" Jo asked Kendall curiously.
"Yeah, they seem closer but not exactly to the point of being together." He told her.
"Just like..." Jo trailed off nervously.
"Us." Kendall finished for her as the two looked away from each other, avoiding the other's gaze.
Kendall understood what Jo had told him earlier that day about why they shouldn't be together just yet. The two clearly had feelings for each other but now was not the time to start going out. Jo had just gotten out of a relationship so she wasn't ready to get into another one. She didn't tell Kendall that but he knew she felt that way and completely understood. They have decided, for now, to get things back to the way there were; two friends, plotting and scheming to get their totally meant to be best friends together.
"Hey guys!" They heard a voice say, which broke the silence.
The two teens turned around and saw James coming in from the front door.
"Hey James!" They said simultaneously as they got back to work on their laptops.
"Still working on our little plan I see." James said as he got a slice of pie from the fridge and sat beside Kendall on the couch.
"Yeah, but we're totally stump for ideas." Kendall said glumly.
"I'm even on the verge of giving up." Jo chimed in sadly.
"Whoa, whoa, wait! You guys can't give up! Logan and Camille are meant for each other and... They just have to get together!" James exclaimed to his two friends.
"But we're losing faith in it." Kendall told him with a depressed expression on his face.
James sighed. "Okay, I've never told anyone this but I think it'll give you guys hope to still continue the plan." He told his friends as he placed his pie down on the coffee table.
"What is it?" Jo asked expectantly.
"Well, you guys know that Camille and I kissed accidentally when I was helping her run lines for her audition because we were in the heat of the moment right?" James asked his friends for clarification.
"Yeah..." They both replied, gesturing for him to continue.
"Do you guys know how exactly Logan found out about it and his initial reaction?" James questioned his friends.
"No, I just know that somehow Logan found out and you guys were able to fix it yourselves." Kendall answered as Jo nodded her head in agreement.
"Okay, here's what happened. I felt really guilty about the kiss since I knew Logan had a thing for Camille even though he hardly ever showed it and the guilt was eating me up inside. Yeah, I know that Logan and Camille weren't together so technically we didn't do anything wrong but I still felt like I betrayed him so I just had to tell him about it." James started off as the two blondes nodded, motioning for him to continue.
"So I asked him if we could meet at Palm Woods park where there was a bit more privacy, I mean compared to the pool and here anyways. We met there and after a couple of failed attempts of trying to get it out, I finally confessed what I did. At first, shock was evident on his face until suddenly, I saw anger and hurt in his eyes which just broke my heart. What happened next was one I didn't expect. Logan balled his hand into a fist, raised it up and swung it at me." James told his friends who reacted with wide eyes and agape mouths.
"Oh my god! Did he punch you?" Jo asked him frantically and worriedly.
"Nope, but he was this close," James answered as he made a representation with his hand wherein he showed them a tiny gap (about an inch) between his pointer finger and his thumb which represented the distance between Logan's fist and his face.
"What happened after that?" Kendall asked James, signaling for him to continue with his story.
"At the last minute, he let his fist down, scoffed and walked away." James answered.
"Whoa." Kendall and Jo responded.
"Yeah, I just figured that meant something, considering Logan's not one to start a fight." James continued.
"It does. Thanks for telling us this James." Jo thanked him with much gratitude in her voice with a sweet smile on her face.
"Anytime, just promise me you guys will do whatever you can to get those two together alright?" James told them his condition.
"Yes sir!" The two blondes saluted playfully as James laughed at this.
"By the way, how did you and Logan patch things up?" Kendall asked James curiously as he and Jo put their hands down.
"We had a spit ball war." James answered simply.
"Who won?" Jo questioned.
"No one. We both ran out of spit and he just forgave me after all that, really." James further explained his answer.
"Ohhh..." Kendall and Jo responded in realization.
"Yeah." James said as a silence rose between the three.
"Hey! I think I have an idea!" Jo exclaimed with a look of accomplishment on her face as she broke the silence.
"That was fast." Kendall commented.
"I've been thinking about this idea for awhile now but it seems pretty out there." Jo told them as a response to Kendall's comment.
"Well, don't keep us hanging what is it?" James asked her with great anticipation.
"Any of you up for a holiday trip to Paris, France?" Jo asked her friends with a smile as she showed them some December flight schedules to Paris on her laptop to which the two boys just stared at in shock.
I'm really sorry to those who thought Jo and Kendall would already be together now and were waiting forever for this chapter for some serious KenJo fluff but I still love adding some twists with them to keep the story interesting. Anyway, please review! :) Oh and if you're confused about anything in this chapter, please PM me. (Don't leave it as a review.)
