Narrator's POV Kendall's house
Monday morning and Kendall was among the minority of the population who actually looked forward to said time of the week. Most people despised this particular morning since it was the start of a brand new week but more importantly the end of the weekend. James' mother loved Kendall but often insisted that Sunday was a designated Diamond Family Day. (basically just James and his mother.)
The end of the weekend, the first day back to school, normally and that meant that he would get to see James again. A whole day without him was a lot. Kendall was looking forward to seeing, holding and kissing his boyfriend again. A day was far too long to spend away from each other.
Even though, he rolled out of bed far too early that morning and yet, he still felt refreshed and awake. Just the thought of seeing James put him in a great mood. After a quick shower, he returned to his room and threw on some skinny jeans and a flannel button up. He dabbed on some of James' favorite cologne and headed downstairs to get his shoes and backpack. He entered the kitchen after almost falling down the stairs, he was in a rush.
Kendall sharply rounded to the other side of the center island. He grasped a glass from the open shelf and pressed lightly against the refrigerator water dispenser. The clear liquid shot down swirling around at the bottom filling up rather fast. Moving over to the pantry, he took a blue lunch box down, unzipping it and placing it on the counter. He ripped open the refrigerator and slide out the bottom drawer. Grapes. Strawberries. Blueberries. He looked up. Orange juice. Chilled raisins. Watermelon.
Today was a late start for most Minnesota schools; Kendall had decided to take James on a little date. He also had another surprise for James' recent Birthday.
He took all of the items he had scavenged around for, and placed them neatly in the cooler box. He walked over to the front door and opened up the closet next to it as he pulled out a checkered blanket. It was hand woven by his grandmother; the family had always used it for beach days and picnics. He slid on his shoes while grabbing his keys,
"Mom, I'm going out with James before school, I'll see what happens later and let you know before I come home." His mother, Penny, waved him off as she groaned from the couch. He just smiled and shook his head as he quietly shut the door. Ok maybe it wasn't that quiet, but he tried his best due to the time. 6:22 am.
James' house
James alarm clocked buzzed as he smashed my fist on top of the snooze button. Ah silence. Why Kendall wanted him up so early, actually that's a really good question. The blonde had never told him, but he was excited. His mother caged him at home the day before and all he wanted was to go. Board games, totally not his thing. He really understood how she had missed her little 'boy' when he was only 6 or 7. Always so clingy to her, talkative all the time, willing to spend hours with her at any possible time. But 'kind of' understood her pain, it's never easy to watch your child grow up. So he had been told. He sighed nervously.
James POV
"Good morning," I hear Kendall whisper into my ear behind me as he wraps his arms around my waist and rests his chin on my shoulder.
"Hi," I giggle as he kisses my cheek. A joking big wet sloppy one.
He pulled away, "oh no Mr. Diamond, this attire will not do, although," he paused. "I really do enjoy the way my name looks across your butt." I blushed looking down; I was in nothing but my boxers. Specifically the boxer briefs that I bought for me and Kendall as a 'humorous' gift on our 3 year, 7 month anniversary. His had my name in neon green, and mine had his name, the same way. It was cute and sexy at the same time.
"Well, Mr. Eyebrows." I laughed, new nickname? Yep. "What do you recommend I where?"
He smiled, "anything you want Jamie." He connected our lips. Yes, I love this, no; it's a yes that I love him. I nodded after the kiss broke. Drifting reluctantly over to my closet, I walked in. My closet was more of a never ending hall. Sometimes it pays to have a rich mother. Stopping at the end, I grabbed a blue muscle shirt, with no sleeves, and a white padded vest. I grabbed some blue wash denim jeans, and my vans. They make my feet look wide but Kendall thinks it's adorable. Um, okay? Not even going to ask. After changing he clasped our hands together, and I followed him down the hall. He was eager, for a reason, I had no clue about. My mom, stood in the kitchen archway, winking at Kendall, I watched him wink back. Wait, did she know what was going on? I tugged at my boyfriend's sleeve.
"Can you please tell me where we're going?" do I dare ask. He just continues to pull me along, making a quick exit out the door.
"Nope," he chuckles. "It's a surprise! I told you!"
"Kendall Knight not once did you mention a surprise in our conversation earlier." I scold.
"Well, I think I just did so… there." He smiles brightly apparently not effected at my annoyed attitude. He opens the car door and I jump in. There is a sharp pain in my stomach as I land on the seat, but I choose to ignore it. He makes his way over to the other side, and revs up the engine to his 2009 Jeep Wrangler. In his opinion the best model of the series. He had bought it used off of craigslist, and he had put some work into it. Adding 24 inch rims and giving it a new coat of paint. Metallic Orange.
I didn't even know this part of the town existed. We had been driving around for like 20 minute turning here and there, getting stuck at red lights. And above all, my favorite thing about Kendall driving was his funny cursing fits he would throw at the other drivers.
"Can you give me a hint?" I beg, sticking my bottom lip out into a pout with the best puppy dog eyes I could pull off. Katie and me had worked together to find a face that would make Kendall give in. This was one that worked continuously, until now.
"Nope," he pops the 'p', ticking me off even more. Same answer over and over.
"Fine. You can't kiss me for a whole day if you don't tell me," I cross my arms, hoping this method will work. He goes silent for a moment.
"Fine," he shrugs.
"Fine!" I turn and look out the window, frowning. We've been driving for almost 50 minutes; the sun's starting to make its way up the morning sky.
"Fine," Kendall repeats, sounding a little too smug for my liking.
"Kendall!" I give up, groaning.
"What?" he laughs. I'm so annoyed I don't even notice he's stopped the car and we're parked.
"Where are we going?" I beg, not paying attention to our surroundings outside the car.
"Here," he grins.
"Here—" I'm confused. "Oh." I look outside; we're parked right outside a horse farm? "Why are we at a—"
"Come on," he interrupts, sounding excited.
As soon as we enter the outside world, we're hit by the smell of animals, not my favorite scent. The gross smell is quickly washed away by the amount of adorable puppies running up to me and clawing at my calves.
He waits for me, holding out his hand. I notice he has a strap over his other shoulder. I quickly made my way through the whimpering crowd, and joined his hand. We quickly made our way up the red stable, where I spot a man stabbing his way through a pile of hay.
"Billy, right?" Kendall questions. The man nods placing his pitch for on the ground.
"You must be the Knight party I imagine, my earliest reservation of the day." He winks at Kendall. I looked up at my boyfriend to see what was happening, but was quickly led into the stable. I looked around there were horses everywhere. Wait was Kendall taking me riding? I couldn't contain my excitement, I loved to ride when given the chance. I started hopping up and down, feeling quit hyper all the sudden.
"Pick a horse and tell the man, I'm going to find one for myself." He leaned in to kiss my temples. After the kiss he disconnected our hands and walked down stopping at each stall to give a sugar cube to each expecting hooved mammal.
I walked down, the middle isle and looked into each stall carefully, finally coming across a horse that peaked my interest. A black stallion with a blonde mane. I though he looked beautiful and just in time, I motioned for the man to come over as I pointed to the older horse. He nodded and unlocked the door. I went to go find Kendall as he saddled our choices up.
Kendall's POV
We started out slow, I wasn't too comfortable with riding a horse but stayed brave and strong for James. I loved him, so, so much. He knew it. We connected our hands, still grasping the reins tightly. I looked at the map Billy had given me. I set it in my lap to direct where we were going. I nudged at my horse, Jasmine's, side as directed as it lean towards the left changing direction James' horse, Moe, following suit. The riding area was an open field surrounded by a forest. The map led to a bare spot in the trees, where it was shady and relaxing.
As we entered the tree line, the independent leaves covered the sky view. We moved deeper and deeper in, when I finally spotted as sign.
Clearing Up Ahead. -
It gave two possible directions, apparently they both lead to the same spot. The map said to go left, so we followed the directions that we knew.
Narrator's POV
The red juice dripped down his chin as he bit into the crisp strawberry. Kendall watched as James licked his lips after finishing off the last seeded berry. Kendall pulled James closer into his lap, an awkward position because James was always slightly taller. The two horses stood in piece seeming as if they were sleeping.
"Kenny, why do horses sleep standing up?" James tugged for an answer.
"I really don't know, it's cool though, and if I had to do that my legs would probably give way after five minutes." He chuckled.
"Hmmm, this is nice." James grinned. "I love you."
"I love you, more!" Kendall challenged.
"Really? Prove it." James was slightly intrigued by his boyfriends answer.
"Come on, let's head back I have another birthday surprise for you." He just grinned.
Kendall's POV
Two hours had passed and it was time to wrap up our peaceful morning date with one last surprise for my un expecting boyfriend. We hopped off our horses and Billy took them in. I led James to the front of the stables, and looked down into a pen. The same puppies from before, some jumpy some lazy sat in the cage, the white sign up front said 'for sale'
James finally understood why I brought him here.
"Kendall—"I'm so happy he don't even have the words to say. I was getting him a dog.
"Pick any one, Happy belated Birthday baby," i smiles, giving his hand a squeeze before motioning towards the puppies.
"I don't even know—they're all so cute," He's completely torn, all of the happy little puppy faces make me want to cry— he has to choose only one though!
"How about that one," I points to a small pug.
"Hmmm…No…he looks kind of mean," James looks into the pug's squashed face and eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable with the look he was giving him right back.
"How about this one?" James looks at a little golden retriever puppy.
"He's going to grow up to be huge. And shed a lot," I points out, making me shudder. Shedding creped him out and I knew it. Suddenly a small little puppy that I hadn't seen before that was sleeping stands up and stretches, yawning while doing so. We hadn't seen him before, because he was balled up in the corner, asleep, while all of the other puppies crowded around us.
"Hi kiddo," James chuckled, I left them alone to bond, as the white dog with shiny black areas all over his body walks up to him. He has one silvery blue eye, the other a dark green. He looks like a tiny husky.
James' POV
He hops up and licks my face, before sitting and looking right at me. I'm in love.
"Kendall," I call him over. Kendall comes over and kneels down next to me.
"Isn't he adorable…" Kendall asks, it's more of a statement than a question though.
"Hi cutie," I start speaking to the puppy.
"Do you like him?" Kendall smiles at me, noticing how much I love the dog.
"Yes, can I get him?" I ask, excited to be taking home this beautiful animal.
"You can, if you really want," Kendall leans over to kiss my cheek.
"Okay, I want him," I decide, pointing at the adorable husky mix puppy.
"Excuse me," Kendall calls over a woman, apparently working for Billy. "We'd like this one."
"Who, this guy?" she points to the right dog.
"Yeah," I bounce up and down, extremely excited. I've wanted a dog for years, I told my mother and Kendall this almost every day. She picks him up and puts him on a leash, before handing the leash to me.
Kendall follows her over to the cabin to pay, while I kneel down next to my new puppy.
"Hi baby," I smile, petting the fluffy little puppy. "What are we going to name you?"
Fox.
"What are you going to name him? He's officially yours," Kendall smiles down at me.
"Fox," I chuckle. "He looks sneaky. Like a fox. Also beautiful, like a fox."
"Fox it is," Kendall leads me outside, laughing at my excitement.
We get in the car, and I get to hold Fox in my lap on the way home. We had actually skipped school that today. All but two classes how did I manage that? But I still have to pick up some work, for Kendall and myself, mainly some study papers. I figured we would stop by school first then go to CVS grab some stuff and hang out probably at my place.
"I don't know what my mom's going to say about this one," I frown, looking at the adorable puppy watching the other cars go by out the window.
"It was my idea, so I asked her and she gave me her permission," he smiles back at me, taking his eyes off the road for a second.
"You're honestly the best," I lean over to kiss his cheek, not wanting to distract him from the road.
"Only for the best," he chuckles.
"I love you," I grin, looking back at Fox, who is happy with his new spot on top of my arms in my lap.
"I love you too, baby," Kendall smiles, watching me hold the new addition to the Diamond family in my arms.
School
I stare into my open locker at school, figuring out everything I need to study with. Deciding I'm set to go home, I close my locker and turn around in his hold, kissing him lightly and slowly. He keeps his arms set on my waist when I pull away.
He takes my hand and intertwines our fingers as we make our way down the hallway, weaving through the few people who liked coming early to school. We stop at his locker, and I chuckle at all of the pictures of the two of us he has put up inside the door.
There's almost too many to count, some of them I recognize from the engraved box of pictures he gave me the other day for my birthday. He notices me looking at the pictures, and pulls one down from the collection.
"This is one of my favorites," he hands it to me. I look down at the picture, to see a picture of one of the first days we met, back in the hospital. We're sitting across from each other on the hospital bed; coloring that old SpongeBob coloring book I used to love. I still have it, actually. It was tucked away somewhere, but I definitely still had it. I refused to throw it away—too many good memories started with that coloring book.
"I like this one too," I smile, handing it back to him.
"And this one!" he reaches up for another picture and handing it to me before pulling out a couple of binders from the locker. This picture is more recent, it's of the two of us at a party together—laughing and smiling with each other while dancing around in the middle of the living room, surrounded by other people dancing. I smile again, remembering that perfect night with my boyfriend.
"I feel old looking at these, they all feel like so long ago," I put it back up on the back of the locker door, under a magnet to keep it up.
"Time flies when you're in love," Kendall grins, leaning in to kiss me.
"Fags!" I hear someone shout right as Kendall's lips are about to touch mine.
I look up to see Tommy Ruse laughing along with some of his buddies, all pointing at Kendall and I. Kendall clenches his fists tight, I notice it out of the corner of my eye.
"Kendall," I warn him, not wanting him to get in trouble again. "Calm down." Kendall exhales deeply before slamming his locker shut.
"Come on," he mumbles, before he's dragging me along down the hallway—away from Tommy.
"Kendall, stop," I plant my feet in the ground, causing him to jerk to a stop.
"What?" he looks angry.
"He does this every day, you need to stop getting so worked up over it," I tell him, knowing he's capable of lashing out on the boy at any point. "You've already been suspended, please, not again."
He finally calms down, after hearing my pleas. I keep a firm grip on his wrist though, worried he might run down the hallway and attack Tommy and his goons.
"I'm just so sick of them calling us that," he sighs, looking down in shame.
"They're stupid," I point out, raising an eyebrow. "Don't worry about them."
Kendall seems to finally get the point, and sighs before wriggling his wrist out of my grip and intertwining our hands again.
"I was having such a good morning up until now," he grumbles as he walks me out of the door, into the parking lot.
James' house
I placed the puppy on the slippery tile floor, watching as he scampered sliding in every direction trying to grip the ground…
"And who are you?" I heard my mother's voice, sounding happy and loving, she peaked her head from around the corner. "Thank you Kendall for not getting him a giant."
Kendall nods, laughing. "eh, It was James' choice not mine."
"Do you wanna stay here tonight," she asked. I started to jump up and down his loose bangs walloping around.
"Yes he does," I shouted out, not letting Kendall finish. The blonde laughed at his boyfriend.
"I guess fates already decided, so sure." He laughs grasping my waist and kissing the crown of my head.
Kendall's POV
After dinner, James' mom fled to her office to work on business. We slowly climbed the stairs into his room. Painted a light neon green, pictures of us together covered one wall. A 78" plasma T.V. on the opposite wall form James' bed. Laying down the Kinect System covered the coffee table under it.
"Babe, wanna play Just Dance?" I smirked at James, I was a god at that game.
"you're gonna lose but I'm game." He walked over tapping the screen on and clicking the Xbox's switch. *bing* The vibrations of the cooling fan, echoed off the walls. The soft purring of music started filling the air as James selected the 'DANCE OFF' option, followed by 'SONGS' then into the dance for 'Party Rock Anthem.'
We stood still, watching our bodies appear on the screen. The icon started to display a dance and in a synchronize way, we started to wiggle out hips, gliding our arms out.
"You're on." I chuckled as the screen displayed a new move. Starting from the ground we would step out and swoosh our arms over our heads, just to bring them back down, repeating it over and over. Apparently Fox was intrigued by us and he leaped down from his perch on the bed and tilted his head in confusion. As soon as our legs were required he jumped to my ankle, gnawing at the skin covered joint. I jumped out of step, losing a few points.
"Jamie, we got a biter." I said out of breath catching back up to where we were. James was ahead of me, by roughly 21 hundred points. I growled as I continued to watch his score climb, the word, perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect displayed on the bottom left of his screen. Laughing slightly he completed the last few moves boosting him higher than me. The song rang out… "winner!" the speakers echoed. James' name appearing on the screen, still copying his movements as he did a victory jump.
James' POV
We stayed in completion for hours, I always beat Kendall. Thank you Fox! We fell to the ground as the last song on the list played out. "Kenny, 98 songs is way too much!" I said, gasping for air numb in the legs and arms.
Half dragging, half crawling he made his way over to me, placing a light kiss on my cheek. "Love you. Night."
"Night, sweet dreams." I sighed back.
"sweet dreams baby," he said as Fox crawled into my lap, wagging his tail dozing off to sleep. The three of us all on top of each other lay on the floor snoring away.
so like I just noticed that this chapter changes POVs like… 8 times… hope you like it… :) we'll have another up by tomorrow.
