Jenno2: Thank you so much! Ugh, that's such an amazing feeling. I can't even describe it! That Viagra comment was courtesy of my actual sister who is technically Maya lol. YOU'RE AMAZING TOO!
thesandbar: Kendall is the cutest guy. God, I love him. And oh hell yes. He is so special...my little Kendork :)
RandomWriter23: Lol that would be my sister's special mind! And thank you, I will take you up on that offer. Russia, we got another chick for you! Lol. Kendall was so right about that XD And I'm working on Jaya! JAYA FTW
"No, Dad, you don't need to interrogate him yet. That's reserved for Kendall right now."
"Maya..." Dad hesitated. "He's taking you out."
"As friends," I said quickly. "Nothing more. That's why it's ok."
"Honey, you're a beautiful girl. Are you telling me James has no intention of dating you?"
"Well...he kind of has a girlfriend right now," I muttered, hoping that he wouldn't hear.
"He WHAT?" Dad roared and I cringed.
"It's only because she's their manager's daughter. He doesn't want to be with her, Dad. And I told you, we're just friends."
He took a few calming breaths. "We'll see how long that lasts for," he mumbled.
I laughed and hugged him. "I love you."
"I love you too, Maya. Are you all ready to go?"
"Yup," I smiled. "He said he'd be here at seven."
I heard footsteps and turned to see Kendall and Reyna stepping into the kitchen. "He's got two minutes," Reyna informed me.
"Thanks," I laughed. "But don't worry. Dad's already got his eye on the clock."
"Yeah, I see," Kendall chuckled, nodding at our dad who was glaring at the clock, willing it to tick faster.
"Dad, you're not meeting him tonight," I sighed.
"I'm talking to him if he's late," he said, never moving his eyes away from the clock.
The doorbell rang and we all jumped. "Dammit!" Dad shouted. "One minute away." He stormed upstairs, muttering under his breath.
"Huh, look at that, Maya," Reyna commented with a smirk. "He came early. Hope that's not true when you guys-"
Kendall turned her around and planted a kiss on her lips, gesturing frantically for me to get out before Reyna could say anything else. I threw him a grateful smile and ran out of the house, calling out a bye to my parents.
I like Kendall Schmidt more and more every day.
REYNA'S POV
I bit my lip and smiled up at Kendall, then realized what he had done and smacked his chest.
"Ow!" he yelped, rubbing the spot where I had hit him.
"I was about to make a joke!"
"A very awkward, sexual joke that would have started another one of your weird sister fight...things."
"Great logic, Kendork," I laughed and shook my head. "But you can shut me up like that anytime." I winked and strutted into the living room.
"That one was to save your sister from your special mind," he teased.
"Bitch please," I shot back. "You love my special mind."
"That'd better be all he's loving tonight, Reyna."
"Holy dear Jesus!" I yelled and jumped into Kendall's arms. "Mom, you scared me," I whined.
"Good thing you interrupted when you did, Mrs. Mitchell," Kendall started and my jaw dropped. "Reyna was getting pretty handsy."
"Right," Mom smirked. "Which is why you're the one holding her."
"Ugh, like mother like daughters," Kendall sighed, admitting defeat.
"That's how it works," Mom and I said together with a laugh.
"Oh teaming up on me, now? Here, have a couch." Kendall threw me onto the couch and stuck his tongue out at me.
"I'll have you know that the couch and I have an amazing relationship," I teased as I snuggled into the pillows. "This blue shade is my favorite."
"Uh...good luck with her," Mom chuckled before heading off to do the laundry.
"See, even your mom is sympathetic towards me," Kendall teased as he pushed me over and sat down.
"Oh poor you," I rolled my eyes. "You have to deal with me."
"I wouldn't necessarily say I deal with you."
"Hmm. Sucking up now, I see."
"You're the best girlfriend ever, Reyn."
"Yeah, yeah. I guess I don't necessarily deal with you either," I relented.
"There's my girl."
I rolled my eyes and kissed his cheek. "Mm, so you have to convince James to break up with Karina."
"Convincing him won't be hard at all. He's been thinking about it for a while. It's actually going through with it that's difficult. You know she's our-"
"Manager's daughter," I finished with a sigh. "This is going to be a lot harder than I thought."
MAYA'S POV
"So...just curious...when's your birthday?"
James looked up from his Pad Thai and raised an eyebrow at me. "Hmm?"
"When's your birthday?"
"July 16. Why?"
"Ok. So you're a..." I tilted my head back and forth, running through the horoscopes. "Cancer."
"I'm WHAT?"
"James!" I hissed. "Keep your voice down. Jesus. A cancer, dumbass. As in your horoscope."
"Oh thank god," he sighed. "So um...what does that mean, exactly?"
"You know, the crab? That's what the Cancer sign is."
"Oh. Duh. I knew that," he tried to play it off.
"Sure. Of course you did."
He rolled his eyes but smiled at me. "What about you, Maya?"
"I'm a Leo."
"And why the fuck do you get to be the lion?"
"Because I'm awesome."
"Bull. Well, true. But what if I wanna be a Leo? Could we...switch?" he asked, winking at me.
I sighed and shook my head. "Horoscopes don't work that way, James."
"Damn. So...do we uh, work?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at me.
"Leo and Cancer are supposed to have a strong bond, but...we'll have to wait and see about that," I smirked at him.
"Tease," he grumbled.
I patted his hand. "It's ok, James, we can't all be Leos."
"That's not cool," he whined.
I shook my head and smiled. "Hey, be nice. I saved you from my dad tonight."
"Thanks," he laughed. "But c'mon, he can't be that bad."
"Oh no, he's not," I agreed. "But he's not happy about Karina."
"Yeah about that..." I nodded, pushing him to go on. "I do want to break up with her, Maya. It's just really difficult to do that without jeopardizing our band."
"We'll figure it out," I assured him. "I bet Kendall and Reyna are already working on that. So for now, we'll just enjoy the time we have together."
James smiled and took my hand in his. "I can definitely do that."
