A/N: Thanks for reading, but I fear, this story has come to an end. I appreciate all the feedback!

Kendall slipped back into bed, sliding up next to him.

"Did you at least get the food from him before you tossed him out?" Kendall jumped at the sound of his voice. He smiled and opened his eyes as Kendall swatted him across the arm.

"You're awake."

"You're observant."

"You heard us?"

Zach nodded. "I was going to come out there, but it sounded like you had it more than handled." Kendall snuggled up next to his side, throwing her arm across his chest.

"Kendall?"

"Yeah?"

"We need to get out of bed."

She shook her head and buried it in the crook of his neck. "No way. I say we blow off the day."

"I don't think we can do that."

She propped her head up on her hand, looking at him. "Ah, but you see, I think we can. First of all, we are the bosses. We can basically do whatever we want. Secondly, I'm sure you've been working yourself to death for weeks. The casino staff would probably enjoy the break from the big mean boss man." Zach laughed, running his fingers along her face, tracing her hair line.

"That is true. Just yesterday, Edie and Gwen were threatening to knock me out and ship me off to some exotic location just to get me out of the building for a few days. That's why I came home."

"See, so it's a good idea. I'll call Simone and tell her I'm not coming in and you call Edie and give her the good news and we'll be bums all day."

"I could definitely get behind that plan." Kendall smiled and leaned in, kissing him passionately. She pulled back when the need for oxygen became overwhelming.

"I've missed you" she whispered to him.

"Me too" he replied, smiling up at her.

"Hey, Kendall. There's something I got to tell you. This wasn't supposed to happen. When I walk into a room, I always make sure I know where the exits are, you know, I always make sure there's a way out. And there is no way out this time. I have fallen in love with you, Kendall."

"It's you. The you before you became who you are."

Zach pulled her down, kissing her passionately, running his hands up and down her back. Kendall sighed, falling deeper and deeper into the passion that she felt for Zach, knowing that this is where she was supposed to be and where she should have been all this time, with Zach.
