Just A Kiss Chapter 38: Promise to Love You
Kendall's POV:
4 months later
Lilly's about 5 months pregnant now. She's gotten a little bigger. She craves weird food a lot and she has a lot of mood swings.
James is trying to deal with this all and he's getting so tired of it. I think he's ready for this baby to come.
Logie trusts Valyn a little more but he still loves Taylor to death. It's going to be hard for that kid to let go.
Colt and I have gotten closer. He's a really cool kid. But Taylor and I have gotten even closer.
That's why I think it was time for a commitment. I think we were ready for a promise ring. Something that tells us, I promise to love you forever. Without getting married at a young age.
"Logan can you take Taylor out ring shopping?" I asked.
"Your not going to propose are you?" He asked.
"No I just need a promise ring." I said.
"Ok but you'll have to watch Logie." He said.
Logie's 5 now and he's gotten smarter just like his dad.
"Done." I smiled.
Taylor's POV:
Logan called me and asked if I could help him with something. We were meeting at the mall so I could help him choose a ring for Valyn.
"Hi Logan." I said when I met Logan and he was waiting at the food court.
"Hey Taylor thanks for coming." He said.
"Anything for you." I smiled.
"So do you want to eat first?" He asked.
"Sure." I said.
We both got a piece of pizza and a pop.
"Where's Logie?" I asked him.
"He's with Kendall." He said.
"Ok just making sure my babies safe." I said.
"You really love him don't you?" He said.
"He's one cute kid. He's got your smarts too." I said.
"He's got your eyes." He replied.
"No he has your cousin's eyes. They just happened to be the same." I said.
"Yeah." He laughed.
"He looks so much like you. It's like he could really be yours." I said.
"I know." He said.
"Do you want to go look for a ring now?" I asked him.
"Yeah let's go." He said taking my hand.
We walked to this huge jewelry store and looked around.
I couldn't find a ring for Val. I didn't know what she would like and if I got it wrong she would think its Logan's fault for not knowing her good enough.
"Wow." I said looking at this beautiful diamond criss cross ring. It was a diamond crisscross ring in 10k gold.
"You like that?" Logan asked.
"It's beautiful." I said.
"Ok well I found one for Val so we can leave." He said
"Ok." I smiled.
When was Kendall going to make that promise?
Kendall's POV:
Logan showed me a picture of what one she liked but I wanted something a little different. Something that really shows that I love her. I don't care how expensive it is. It's for Taylor and she's most important.
I got her a beautiful ring something she will love more than the other one.
The next day was going to be the day I asked her if she would wear the ring. If she promised to love me forever.
The next day
I woke up a little nervous. I hadn't been so nervous since I kissed her for the first time.
I made sure everything was ready.
I got in the shower and fixed my hair.
Logie came into my Logan and I's shared room when I was looking for my shirt. I had some black jeans on and I was looking for a plaid shirt.
"Hi Kindle." He said.
"Hi squirt." I smiled.
"What you doing?" He asked.
"Getting something nice on so I look good for your mommy." I said.
"You should wear this." He said grabbing a pinkish red plaid shirt.
"Thanks Logie." I said patting him on the back.
I fixed my shirt and found a black tie to go along with it.
I went to ask the guys how I looked.
"So how do I look?" I asked.
"She'll want you so bad." James laughed.
"I think she'll love the ring." Logan smiled.
"Where are you taking her?" Carlos asked.
"That's a secret." I smiled.
"Really Kendall!" James pouted.
"Sorry guys you'll find out when we get home tomorrow." I said.
"Tomorrow?" Carlos asked.
"What?" I asked confused.
"Your not-" Logan started.
"Shut up, we're waiting after marriage ok?" I said.
"Sorry Kendall." They said in unison.
"Ok are you guys sure I look good?" I asked nervously.
"Kendall relax it's not like your marrying her!" Logan rolled his eyes.
"Put yourself in my shoes. What if she refuses? What if she says no?" I asked.
"She's going to say yes." Logan muttered.
"You don't know that Logan." I snapped.
"Yes, I kind of do!" He snapped back.
We were silent for a few seconds.
"How?" I asked quietly.
"She asked herself that she wondered when you were going to get her one." He said.
"I'm sorry for snapping at you Logan." I sighed.
"We're brothers, we fight." He smiled.
"Awww come on guys hug it off." James joked.
So we did. We hugged.
"Ok I have to go meet Taylor at her parents house. She doesn't know where I'm taking her but it's somewhere in San Diego." I winked.
"Ok don't taunt us, just go!" They said giving me the ring and pushing me out the door.
I got in my truck and started driving the 45 minute drive. By the time I got there it was around 6:00.
I got out of my car and knocked on the door. Taylor's dad opened the door and called for Taylor.
"You look nervous." He said.
"I am." I said.
"Don't be, she's ready for this." He smiled.
"Thanks." I smiled back.
Taylor came to the door looking gorgeous. She was wearing a white, puffy, short cut dress with a green waist band and a little diamond broche on the side.
"You look beautiful Taylor." I said paralyzed.
"Thanks Kenny. You look very handsome." She said.
"Thanks, so should we get going?" I asked.
"Yeah." She smiled.
I walked her to the truck, opened her door for her, and closed. Then got in my side.
The ride was silent. I didn't really know what to say. I was still nervous.
We arrived at our destination. I heard her gasp.
I took her hand and opened the door for her and walked with her.
We walked to the top of the stadium stairs and that's where my surprise began. I had rose petals leading all the way down to the stage.
As we were walking down I could see a smile start to form.
When we reached the stage I had a small table with some dinner on it.
It was dark until some stage lights flicked on and the spot light was on us.
"This is where we met." I whispered.
"It's so different. You don't have your screaming fans calling your name, and I'm not backstage, waiting to meet you." She smiled.
"I like it better this way." I smiled.
We sat down at the table and started eating. She talked about our past like it was just yesterday.
"Remember that time in the 5th grade when we were at lunch and we were laughing so hard milk shot out of your nose?" She laughed.
"How do you remember our past so easily?" I asked.
"Because those times were when I was at my happiest. The times that I was with you." She smiled.
I think it was time to ask her.
"Taylor can I ask you something?" I asked.
"You just did." She winked.
"I meant serious." I said.
"Yeah." She said.
I took her hand and brought her to a different spotlight.
"Taylor, I love you so much and life without you just isn't fair. So I wanted to know if you'll be mine forever. I know we're not ready for marriage yet but, I promise to love you forever no matter what the cost is. Your my heart, soul, mind, you are everything that's important to me in life. So would you do me the honor and except my promise ring?" I asked pulling out the box and opening it. The ring was a white gold rind with a snow flake shaped diamond.
Taylor was crying. I couldn't help but wonder what she was thinking.
"Yes Kendall. One million times yes." She smiled.
I slipped the ring on her finger and she hugged me so tightly.
"We're ready for this aren't we?" I asked.
"We're more than ready." She smiled and kissed me.
I picked her up and started kissing her some more.
"Are we going back to my house? Or did you get a place?" She asked.
"I got a place. Do you want to go?" I asked.
"Yeah but only because it's kind of cold out." She said.
"Here." I took off my jacket and placed it over her.
"Thank you." She smiled.
We walked to the car and drove to the hotel which was a few minutes away.
I got our room key and we went up to the room.
This time Taylor brought clothes so we changed into our different clothes.
She looked amazing even without her dress on.
"Are you tired?" I asked her.
"Not really." She said.
"What should we do?" I asked.
"I have an idea." She said pulling my shirt to her.
"Kiss me." She whispered.
So I did. We started getting intense. I backed her up against the wall and kissed harder. She acted like she wanted me so bad.
After a few minutes she looked a little uncomfortable so I picked her up and brought her to the bed.
We kept kissing like we needed each other. I was afraid we'd go to far. But I knew Taylor and she would tell me when to stop.
We were gasping for air between each tender kiss. I was huffing and felt like stopping but she wouldn't allow it and I just didn't care anymore. I felt like obeying her.
"I love you." She managed to gasp out.
"I love you too." I said in a gasping whisper.
I could feel her biting my lip so gently. I let her win. She was now taking control. After I broke the kiss I started kissing her neck. She moaned in pleasure.
"K-K-Kendall." She stuttered out.
"What?" I asked.
Then she kissed me on the lips. She was taking control again.
Her hands were stuck in my hair and mine were on her waist.
I started sliding my hand up the back of her shirt.
"Kendall." She gasped.
"Sorry." I whispered.
"I think we went to far." She said quietly.
"I'm sorry it was my fault." I said.
"No, it was mine. I kept asking for more. I could tell when you wanted to stop." She said looking into my eyes.
"It's ok I liked it." I smiled.
"Have you ever done that with anyone else?" She asked.
"No. Why was I bad?" I asked.
"No, just really good." She smiled.
"Are you tired now?" I asked.
"Sort of." She said.
"Come here." I said. I cuddled up next to her.
"I don't want the same thing that happened to James and Lilly to happen to us Kendall." She whispered.
"Neither do I." I said.
"Maybe we should be more careful. Let's not be so intense." She said.
"Yeah." I whispered kissing her forehead.
She fell asleep in my arms and I fell asleep shortly after.
When I woke up Taylor was in the bathroom on her phone and I could hear what she was saying.
"Lilly he got me a promise ring!" She said excited.
Then she paused to hear what Lilly said.
"We almost went to far last night." She said quietly.
She paused again.
"He's really good and so gentle, how could I ask for anyone else?" She asked.
She paused again.
"I promise we'll be more careful, we talked about that last night. Ok bye Lilly." She said.
The call ended.
Taylor came out of the bathroom and blushed.
"How much of that did you hear?" She asked.
"You think I'm good and gentle?" I smirked.
"Shut up Kendall." She said hitting me with a hotel pillow and smiling.
"Hey chill. I enjoyed it just as much as you did." I said making her blush.
"So are we going home today?" She asked.
"Yeah we can go anytime." I said.
"Let's go now." She said.
"Ok let me get dressed and we can go." I said grabbing my clothes and heading to the bathroom.
After I was dressed we left. The car ride back was a little long but Taylor talked a lot the whole way.
When we got back to my apartment Taylor was excited to show everyone the ring I got her.
We got up to the apartment and I was holding her left hand, the one that had the ring on it.
Everyone was in the living room and they watched our every move.
"Hi guys." Taylor said awkwardly.
They all said hi and just kept looking at us.
Then James blurted out, "Did she except the ring or not!"
Taylor and I smiled at each other and she rose her hand and showed her ring.
They all got up and ran over to her.
"Kendall bought this?" Katie asked.
"Katie!" I yelled.
"You got her a promise ring?" Valyn asked.
"Yeah." I smiled at her again.
"Ok guys Taylor and I need to talk." Lilly said.
So Taylor followed her into Lilly's room.
Taylor's POV:
"So what did you want to talk about?" I asked.
"What the hell were you to thinking?" She asked.
"Nothing happened!" I yelled.
"But it could of if you guys didn't care!" She yelled back.
"But it didn't and we do care! We don't want to end up like you and James!" I yelled but then covered my mouth.
Everything got silent.
"James and I were caught up in the moment. I let him and it was stupid of me. But you know what this baby is going to be one of the greatest things that's happened to me." She said.
"Lilly I'm sorry I didn't mean-" I started.
"It's ok, we were careless. We didn't think about protection." She sighed.
"Lilly it'll be ok. It's not the end of the world. My mom did the same thing with my brothers and me." I said.
"My mom did the same." She smiled.
"I'm really sorry for saying that Lilly." I said hugging her.
"I'm sorry for yelling at you. I know you two care about what's happening and I know your waiting till marriage too." She said.
"I just don't want to make a mistake." I said.
We walked out of the room.
Kendall was talking to his mom. He looked upset and angry.
"Oh God. She doesn't know does she?" I asked Lilly.
She nodded her head.
I looked at Kendall and walked to the door, opened it, and looked back. Kendall was looking at me now.
Then I turned around and walked out the door.
Tears started dripping down my face. Why couldn't my life be personal, like every normal person's?
I walked out of the Palm Woods and started walking to my apartment. Until Kendall caught up.
"Hey why'd you leave?" He asked.
"My life's not personal anymore Kendall! It's like everyone needs to know what happened last night!" I said.
"Hey, shhh, calm down." He said hugging me. "I didn't tell her."
"How does she know?" I asked.
"Probably Lilly." He whispered.
"Kendall I don't want everyone knowing that we almost did it last night!" I sighed.
"But we didn't! We care to much about what might happen." He said.
"Kendall I need to go home. I'll talk to you tomorrow." I said.
"No I'll come with you. I made a promise that I'll love you forever and never leave your side. We'll be married one day and if your going to be my wife than I'm not leaving you." He said.
"Ok." I whispered.
He followed me to my apartment and I walked into my room and laid down.
Kendall came and laid next to me.
"You know they only found out because you called Lilly." He said.
"So now your blaming me?" I asked.
"No, I'm saying if we do something again they won't find out." He grinned.
"Are you trying to make me attracted to you?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"Maybe." He smirked.
"Well... It's working good so far." I said.
"How do I make it work?" He asked.
"Just a kiss." I whispered so close to him.
He kissed me so lightly making me want more.
"Don't go too far." I whispered.
"I know, not going to happen." He whispered.
We started making out. Nothing intense, just enjoyable. He didn't cross a line. He didn't even kiss my neck. He knew exactly what was going on.
"Two make out sessions in two days. I think I'm a lucky girl." I winked.
"Nobody's going to find out about this." He said against my lips.
"Perfect." I whispered.
We stopped and just laid down on the bed. I think we were tired because we shortly fell asleep.
Kendall was now mine. He made a promise that he's going to keep.
