Chapter 21 Problems and Dinners Part One

Carlos POV

Kendall ended the call.

»I have a problem…«

I looked at Kendall and frowned.

»What's wrong? «

He looked at me and the look in his eyes made my heart clench. He looked completely calm and relaxed, but in his eyes I could see a burning fear.

»I- uh… I have to go home. Quickly. My father just filed in a lawsuit. He wants the sole custody for Katie. «

James gasped shocked, while Logan and I looked at each other. I knew he was as confused as I was.

»Uh- I know, this situation doesn't look so good. But I don't think I understand your worry. It is not like he will success with his lawsuit. «

»Carlos, my father is extremely rich. He has really good lawyers. And to be honest, my mom can't afford a good lawyer. So, I think I am entitled to worry. «

»Don't worry about lawyers. We'll take care of it. «, Logan said.

»I… No… You can't just spend a lot of money on us! «, Kendall exclaimed.

»Being a Mitchell has a few advantages…«, Logan said.

»For example a lot of money and a private lawyer army. «, I added dryly.

»Look, guys. I appreciate it. But it is not like we are poor. We have enough money. We can afford a lawyer on our own. It just won't be one of those fancy ones. «

»We know, you can do that Kendall. We just want to help. «

I nodded, agreeing with Logan. But then I felt like a light bulb just went on over my head.

»Wait, Kendall. Does your father pay alimony for you three? «

Logan perked up, looking interested.

»Uh…N-No, he doesn't. «

Logan smirked. And I got my cell phone out, dialing a number.

»I- I don't understand. What is your point? «, James asked.

»Another advantage of being a member of our family: extensive knowledge about lawsuits and laws in general. «

He smiled at his boyfriend, who looked still a bit confused. While I listened to the dial tone, I looked at Kendall. He looked a little bit calmer, I think we kind of distracted him from the main topic, but honestly, I had the feeling that he was a little bit freaked out by us.

»Hello? Carlos? What's up? «

»Dad, we need a favor. «

~Time Skip~

After dad heard what our problem was, he promised us to take care of it. He agreed that we would meet Kendall and his mom with our lawyer on Sunday. Since that was taken care of for now, Logan and I focused on the dinner with James and his mom on Saturday.

In the hours before they would arrive, my dear brother was a mess. Logan was nervous, extremely nervous. He was pacing back and forth in his room. The contents of his dresser were spilled all over his room.

»Litos, I have nothing to wear…«, he whined.

I snorted.

»I beg to differ… Now get into the bathroom, shower and do your hair, while I get you something to wear. «

He nodded and left quickly. I let my eyes wander through the room. I never had a good fashion taste. At least that's what everybody else said. Mom always said that I am too free- spirited to let myself be confined by the rules and trends of the fashion world. In fact, Logan was the only one, who trusted me to pick clothes for him. Humming I picked a purple shirt, tight black pants, a leather jacket and grey shoes. I placed it into the bathroom next to the showers.

»Don't be so tense! «, I shouted over the running water of Logan's shower.

When I came back into his room, I shuddered. The mess was unbearable and so I started to sort Logan's clothes back into his dresser. And I may have sorted them, so they formed a rainbow. Half an hour later, Logan stepped into the room, his hair in its usual style and dressed in the clothes I picked.

»Wow, Logie. You look handsome. «

»You, sure. «

»Of course, I am. «

He looked still doubtfully, but he smiled weakly.

»I'll take a shower and get dressed myself. Do you think you'll be okay until I come back? «

He shrugged. I sighed.

»Come on then. «

He followed me to the bathroom, where I pushed him onto the toilet seat. I got undressed and stepped into the shower.

»Well, I did not expect that. «, Logan mumbled.

»It's not like you haven't seen me naked before. «

He chuckled.

»True. «

Half an hour later, we were back in Logan's room and Logan was back to pacing back and forth. I could hear his fast breathing and I could see his panicked eyes. I stopped him with my hands on his shoulders.

»Logie, listen to me. I already like James. A lot. James mom adores us, you know that. And mom… Well, she already hates James. So you don't have to worry about that. «

He laughed quietly.

»Well, that is true. «

»Let's go downstairs. «

A few servants (Mom's idea) decorated the dinning room and set the table. It looked actually quite good. I trailed off to the kitchen, where to my surprise Dad cooked.

»Dad? YOU are cooking? «

He chuckled.

»Don't sound so surprised, Carlos. I am more than capable of cooking a decent meal. «

»What are you making? «

»Fried chicken and salad. «

»The secret family recipe? «

Dad nodded, which made me really happy. Even though I loved corndogs and a lot of kinds of foods, but this was my favorite food of all time. And I knew Logan loved it too. It was a good idea that dad cooked his comfort food.

»Do you need any help? «, Logan asked after he came in.

»Sure. You could do the salad and the dressing. «

An hour later, when dad started to fry the chicken the doorbell rang. Logan and I opened the door. James and his mom smiled at us. And they looked absolutely stunning.

»Hey, Logan. «, James said.

I hope you like it.

What do think will happen during the dinner? Has Logan a reason to be nervous? And what about Kendall and his father? Please review.
