"What was that for?" James asked when Kendall walked to unlock the door again.
"Oh, nothing." Kendall said innocently. "I was just... you know... looking." he said and smirked. James let out a shaky breath and smiled a bit. "Also I felt like you needed to relax a bit. You're working so hard, Mr. Diamond. I worry about you."
"N-No need to worry about me, Kendall." James said softly. "You concentrate on your work and I'll... call you when I am in need of assistance." He said and gently patted the blond on the shoulder.
"Okay!" Kendall chirped happily. "I'll be right outside! Thank you, Mr. Diamond!" He said before waving and going back to his desk. The blond continued to do his work with sorting emails and filling in random paperwork.
He looked up when someone approached his desk. "'Sup, Blondie?" Dak murmured and leaned a bit on Kendall's desk. "Nice place you've got." He said and shot the blond a smile.
"Hi, Dak..." Kendall said shyly and shifted a bit in his seat. "What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Well, you can't really earn a living in that tiny little bar." Dak chuckled. "I work part time delivering mail and packages." He explained and nudged the blue cap he wore. "You're looking fancy today." He pointed out. "You're really like a sexy receptionist or something out here."
The blond chuckled a bit and straightened his shirt a bit. "W-Well... I-I guess." He mumbled and blushed. "Um..." he mumbled.
"You always this dressed up? Or did you know I was coming?" The brunet asked and winked. Kendall blushed and chuckled a bit. "Well, I have to go now. But I do have a feeling I'll run into you again." Dak said and laughed. "After all, you have seen me almost naked."
"I-..." Kendall blurted out bu stopped and blushed furiously.
"Ha ha, whatever." Dak said. "See you." He chirped before leaving. Kendall cleared his throat a bit and gulped a bit. He glanced over his shoulder a bit into his boss' office. James was in the middle of a phone call and looked very professional and serious.
Kendall smiled a bit when James looked up and met his eyes. He waved shyly before turning back around and continuing his work.

"James." Josephine said sternly when her husband came into view. The brunet turned to look at her and smiled a bit.
"Yes, honey?" He asked. The blond woman eyed him a bit and sighed. "Josephine?"
"I'm going to Italy for a week for a case." Jo said. "I'm leaving tomorrow and I'll be back on Monday next week." She continued and turned her back against her husband. James nodded slightly. He wasn't so sure how he felt about it.
He wasn't sure if he was happy to get rid of her for a while or worried that he'd miss her. "Oh." He said. "Will you be alright?" he asked. "Do you need anything with you?"
"No. I'll be just fine." Josephine said unusually softly and shook her head. "You stay home." She said.
"Oh, alright." James mumbled. "Well, I'm about to make dinner. Is chicken alright?" He asked. His wife nodded and went ahead to leave the room. The handsome brunet sighed a bit but couldn't help but let his hand wander to another blond.
Maybe he'd invite Kendall over. Maybe they could finally have some real alone time. They could cook dinner and sit and watch movies and have a romantic night without any roommates bursting in through the door or asking for lost items.
Yeah, now that he thought about that he was convinced that it was a great idea.

"Well... Welcome to my house." James said and smiled softly at Kendall who hesitantly stepped in through the door. He hadn't really forgotten what had happened the last time he was there and he probably wasn't going to in a while.
"You have a really nice house." Kendall pointed out shyly.
"Thank you." James hummed and walked into the kitchen. "I was thinking we could cook dinner together?" He said and glanced over his shoulder at the blond who was looking around. "How do you feel about homemade pizza?"
"I feel like that's an awesome idea." Kendall said and walked into the kitchen. "Um... W-Where is your wife?" he asked timidly. James turned to looked at him.
"She went to Italy. She'll be back in a week." James replied. "Why?" he asked. "Curious?" he added with a smirk. The blond blushed a bit and pouted childishly while walking over to the counter and helping out with the food.
The blond jumped a bit when James wrapped his arms around his waist and nuzzled his neck. "James!" He squeaked and tried to turn around.
"No, no." James chuckled. "Don't mind me." He said. "You keep going, I'm just looking." Kendall blushed furiously and squirmed around a bit against the counter. "Just you keep cooking." James said with an amused smile.
"B-But-" Kendall yelped and pouted. "I can't..." He mumbled. "You're... you know... Holding me." he said timidly. James chuckled a bit and allowed the blond to turn around. He leaned down to rub his nose against the smaller male's. Kendall giggled.
"You're making me happy." James said softly and went ahead to kiss the blond on the lips. Kendall carefully kissed back while gently being pushed back against the kitchen counted.
"What the fuck?!" Another voice rang out making James flinch away and swirl around to see who had called out. Kendall quickly scrambled away from James and looked up and gulped.
"D-Dak?!" he whined. "W-What are you doing here?!" he asked.
"Dak?" James asked confusedly and turned to Kendall. "You know him?"
"Oh... Hi, guys." Dak said awkwardly and shuffled around a bit. "Uh... I-... Um... I didn't know there was anybody home." He said. "Um... I forgot my jacket here." He said and smiled sheepishly while holding up a jacket.
"What the hell are you doing in my house? Who are you?" James asked angrily and took a step towards the intruder. Kendall stopped him.
"He's the gardener!" he blurted out. James turned to him again and cocked an eyebrow. "I-... uh... I met him when I was here to get your documents. He was working really hard." Kendall said awkwardly and smiled a bit.
"Yeah, uh... Mrs. Diamond hired me." Dak quickly added. James furrowed his eyebrows and looked between the two. "Well, no reason for me to stay!" Dak said. "I'll be going."
"And I will follow him to the door." Kendall said and hurried after Dak out into the hallway. They both went out on the porch and Dak immediately turned to Kendall.
"What the hell was that?!" he exclaimed. "Holy shit, Mr. Diamond is cheating on Josephine! With you!" He gasped. Kendall glared up at him and pouted.
"Yeah? Well I don't think you out of all people have anything to add to this, Mr. Secret lover." He hissed. Dak frowned. "Look, please..." Kendall begged. "Please, don't tell Mrs. Diamond. Please don't tell anyone."
"As long as Mr. Diamond doesn't find out about me I'm not gonna spill a word." Dak said and held up his right hand.
Kendall nodded and sighed bit before saying goodbye and went back inside. "You know that guy?" James asked. Kendall nodded slowly and tried to come up with another lie.
"Yeah. His name is Dak. He's... um... Carlos' friend." Kendall said and smiled. "Also he's working at that bar we went to." I added. "B-But don't worry, he won't tell."
"Alright..." James sighed and nodded slowly. Kendall smiled a bit and walked closer. He felt a little guilty for lying but know that it was for the best. James looked up and smiled weakly at him before wrapping his strong arms around the smaller boy and pulled him in for a long kiss.
"J-James..." Kendall mumbled and blushed. "M-More." He got out and shifted shyly. James chuckled softly and swept the blond off of his feet and hoisted him up and carried him up the stairs. Kendall gasped and buried his face in the crook of James' neck and whimpered softly feeling the handsome brunet's hands holding him up by their grip on his behind.
"You're so cute." James chuckled softly.
"Oh." Kendall got out while leaning his forehead against James. The brunet nodded.
"Yeah." He said quietly. "I'm almost scared I'll break you sometimes. I'm so scared of hurting you." He confessed. "I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I hurt you." He continued and sat down on the bed with the blond straddling his legs. "I'd go mad if something happened to you."
"I-..." Kendall gulped. "I-I... lo-..."
James chuckled a bit and sighed against the blond's temple. "I love you." He said, stealing the words straight out of Kendall's mouth. Kendall blushed and smiled shyly. "Tell you what... how about... I return that favor? Hm?" James asked slyly.
"N-No!" Kendall choked out, making James frowned a bit. "I-I mean... I-I don't want you to... I-I just..." Kendall stuttered and blushed furiously. "Y-You d-don't have to... uh... I'm not-"
"Kendall." James said and tried to catch the blond's darting eyes. "It's alright, I just want you to know that I'm not using you." He said. "Ask me for anything and I'll give it to you." He continued and hugged the smaller boy. "Ask me for the moon and I'll throw a rope around it and pull it down for you. I'd handpick the stars or travel around the globe just to be with you."
The blond lit up with pure happiness and threw his arms around James neck and hugged him tight. "I love you. I-I really do! I-I love you so much it hurts. I love you!" He babbled and let his hands roam over the brunet, desperately trying to touch every single inch of James that he could reach.
James – that had a hard time processing – sat like paralyzed and just felt and listened to Kendall as he loudly declared his love for him while hugging him tightly. When he finally regained the ability to move he slowly pulled away from the blond and looked him in the eyes.
"Marry me." He said.
"W-What?" Kendall gasped and looked down at him. "Y-You're already married!" He said and frowned.
"Kendall, please..." James said. "Marry me." He begged. Kendall gulped and felt his heart thump harder than it had ever done before. "You love me and I love you more than anything I've ever felt before." James said. "I-... I'll get a divorce." He promised. "I'll divorce Josephine... if you marry me."
The blond panted slightly and gulped. James wanted to marry him. The one and only James Diamond was willing to divorce his wife to be with Kendall. For real. No sneaking about. No secrets. For real.
"O-Okay." Kendall whispered. "A-Alright." He said and nodded. "I'll... m-marry you." He said and let out a small chuckle. "Yes!" He exclaimed and flung forwards and hugged the brunet that hugged him back.
"I love you." James said happily and sighed into the crook of Kendall's neck. "And... here." He said and removed the ring he wore on his right hand. "This is for you." He murmured and placed the ring on Kendall's left ring finger. "It's my lucky ring and... I suppose I'm really lucky to have you." he said.
Kendall beamed and looked at the silver ring for a while. "I-... I can't believe this is happening." He said with pure awe in his voice. "Thank you." He said and leaned down to kiss James. "I love you."
