Chapter 11

Logans POV:
So Ashley was kind enough to let me stay with her until I find a new job and get my place back. That is IF I get my place back. It was the 15th and I still hadn't found another place to work at. I only had half of the month left until it was the due date. I sat in Ashley's kitchen looking through the paper and highlighting possible job openings. Needless to say most of the ads read "Well knowledge handyman wanted" or "Twink-ish pool boy cleaner" and I was in no mood to wear speedos to work. I heard Ashley's bare feet hitting the hardwood floor as she walked over to me with the chain Kendall had given me.

"Where'd you get this?" She asked. I had forgotten that I had taken it off at the airport and left it in my bag.

"Oh, I, uh when I was away there was this small shop and I thought those were really cool so"

"Kendall Knight." She read one tag.

"Yeah. They had, like, a wall of celebrity names and I thought it would be funny to get his."

"Oh that's cool." I'm sure I was red from lying. I watched Ashley closely and could tell she was thinking about something.

I got up from the kitchen table and tried to take the chain away before she could turn it over and read the back side that read: "Logan, thanks for the phone. Kendall K." I was too late. I felt shivers when she whispered the words to herself.

"Kendall K? Who's" Ashley stopped half way.

"What? Who's what?" I asked.

"Who was that Kendall guy that answered the phone that one day I called?" She asked.

"A friend, remember?"

"Friend? Who exactly were you with?" I knew she was starting to suspect something. She put two and two together and found four. Yes, she was a great mathematician.

"Just some people." I said. Ashley stared at me with a look that would make the huge heads on Mt. Rushmore look away. "LOGAN!"

"Fine! Yes, it was Kendall."

"Kendall?"

"The only one."

"WHAT!? Are you serious? Why didn't you tell me before?" She asked.

"Cause I didn't know how you would act." I said.

"So that tag is"

"This, yeah."

"How? What!? What's that thing about the phone on the back?"

"Remember when he and his friend came into the restaurant that one day? He had left his cell phone on the table by accident and I returned it to him."

"You had Kendall Knight's phone?"

"Yes, can you stop saying his whole name, please?"

"Where'd you guys go?" Ashley really wanted to know every single little detail.

"The desert."

"The desert? What for?"

"A movie."

"He was filming a movie?"

"Yeah."

"Oh God wait, wait. I need time to take this all in." Ashley sat down on a chair and looked up at me. It was so funny how she got worked up about this. I went back to look at the paper on the table. That same day I was getting to walk Sargent. I opened the front door so that we could leave when I saw Carlos standing in front of us.

"Carlos, hey." I said. It had been a long time since I've seen the guy and he looked great.

"Hey." He said. "Where've you been?"

"Away."

"Yeah. I just came by to give Ashley her movies back." I took the three movies and placed them on the kitchen counter.

"So what's going on?" Carlos asked.

"Nothing much. I was about to take Sargent for a little walk. Do you want to come?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Alright, lets go." I reached behind me and pulled the door closed then the three of us walked into the bright daylight. We walked to a park that was a short way away and had a nice conversation.

"I'm glad you're back actually. Ashley told me your birthday was coming up in two weeks." Carlos exclaimed.

"Yeah."

"What do you want for your birthday?" He asked.

"Nothing. Its not a big deal."

"What? Come on. You have to want something."

"No, it's okay. Don't worry about it." I said.

"Well okay, What's something you would want?"

"A job." I told him.

"A job? What happened to the restaurant?"

"I got fired."

"What for?"

"Lying to my boss about something."

"Oh wow. That sucks."

"Yeah."

"If you want I could talk to my boss and maybe hook you up with a job at the theatre."

"Are you serious?" I said. I was really happy to hear that. My window of opportunity had just lifted open and I was going to take full advantage of it.

"Yeah. Its no problem."

"Thanks! That's really nice of you."

"I'll tell him when I get in later on." Carlos said.

"Okay."

"Well I have to get going now but i'll see you later on, okay?"

"Yeah, for sure."

Carlos and I hugged and he went in the opposite direction to get to where he needed to be. Sargent and I got back from our outing and went back Ashley's house.
Later in the week, I was getting out of the shower when Ashley's phone rang. Seeing as she was out working, I picked it up and answered.

"Yeah?" I said.

"Um, is Logan available?" The man asked.

"This is he. Who's this?"

"Oh, its me, Kendall."

"Oh yeah. Hey."

"Hey. I tried calling your apartment but it said that the line had been disconnected. I had to call the restaurant where you work to find out what happened but they said you didn't work there anymore. I asked if anyone knew where you might be and a girl gave me this number."

"Ashley." I said.

"My phone was disconnected because I don't live at the apartment anymore."

"You moved?"

"Something like that."

"Where are you now?" Kendall asked.

"My friends house. I don't have anywhere else to go so I'm staying here until I can find another job and get my apartment back by the end of this month."

"Wow. That's tough."

"Yeah. Oh and by the way, sorry about leaving without saying anything. I wanted to come back to L.A. to try and get my job at the restaurant back." I said.

"It's okay. Sam told me what happened so its all good. We're almost done here actually. I think one more week out here and then we leave to Universal Studios to do some of the final scenes."

"Oh yeah? That's good." I exclaimed.

"Yeah so we should get together soon."

"Yeah, that'll be great."

"Alright well I have to go, I'm calling from the set. I'll talk to you later."

"Alright, bye."

We hung up and I continued with my day.

One more week left before I was officially screwed on getting my apartment back. Carlos still hadn't gotten back to me about what his boss said to the idea of possibly giving me a position at the theater. I was ready to give up when I heard Ashley call my name across the house. I walked over to her. She was in the kitchen making dinner. I took the phone from her hands and put it on my ear.

"Hello?"

"Hi, is this Logan?" The woman asked.

"Yes it is. Can I help you?"

"I just wanted to confirm that date of your return to your apartment."

She said. I had to process her words in my head for a minute.

"Excuse me?" I asked.

"When will you be returning to your apartment?" She asked again.

"Uh, I'm sorry but I haven't gathered the money to move back yet."

"Our records show that the apartment it paid in full."

"What?" I said. I looked at Ashley and she looked at me. Both not knowing what exactly was going on. "What does that mean?"

"It means you are able to move back. We just need to know when you will be doing so." Was I dreaming? A smile crawled onto my face slowly but surely.

"Um will tomorrow be okay?" I asked.

"That would be splendid." The woman said.

"Thank you. Bye." I hung up the phone and started laughing.

"What's going on? Who was that?" Ashley asked.

"I'm not sure but I think I just got my apartment back." I said.

"What? How?"

"I don't know. I thought I still had time to get the money but it turns out that the place was already paid for." I said.

"Who paid for it?"

"I have no clue. I go back tomorrow."

"Congratulations." Ashley said.

That night I went to sleep happy.

The next morning I got up early to make sure nobody was playing a trick on me about the apartment. I called the complex and they said that I did have the right to move in again. They couldn't tell me who the person who paid the bill was because it came from an "anonymous" sender. I was just happy that this wasn't some sort of cruel joke. I went to the warehouse where my things were being kept and let them know that I was going to be moving back. They said that my things would be delivered to the address I left that same day. I went back to Ashley's house and gathered my things and we drove out to the complex. I walked into the building and told Sarah, the woman at the front desk, that I was moving back in and she gave me the key to my apartment. I was ecstatic to say the least. Having that key in my hand gave me a great deal of relief. Ashley, Sargent and I walked up to my door number and stepped inside. After the movers came and unloaded I became familiar with my surroundings once again. All I needed now was a steady job.

My birthday hadn't turned out to be a pile of shit anymore. I had my house back, Carlos had managed to get me a place at his work and I was now back to my usual routine. Ashley had planned a small get together for me on this very "special" day. Just a few of our friends hanging out at my place, nothing big. Day turned to night and we were all still chatting and catching up on old times. Things were about to get even better as the night wore on. At around 10:42 p.m. there was a knock at my door.

"I'll get it." Ashley said. I was in the kitchen getting everyone some drinks. "Logan!" I heard her yell.

"Yeah?" I yelled back.

"Someone's here to see you!" I dropped what I was doing and went out to see who it was. Coming to the door I saw Ashley looking at me strangely.

"Who is it?" I asked. She didn't answer. I made my way to the entrance and saw Carlos standing at the door.

"Oh hi!" I said. "Come on in."

"Happy birthday." Said Carlos in a joyous voice and handed me a small, rectangular box wrapped neatly in solid red paper and a bow on the corner.

"Thanks." I took the gift then we made our way into the apartment and to the living room to join the others. Before I could sit down, there was another knock on the door.

Ashley went to get it but I stopped her.

"I got it." I thought it was going to be another one of my friends but I was shocked to see who it really was.

"Hey." Kendall said after I opened the door and looked out.

"Kendall. What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you. We're almost done filming at Universal, I thought I'd stop by. I asked the lady downstairs if you had moved back in already and she said that you had so..." He said.

"Oh great. Hold on, how did you know I was going to move back in?"

Kendall smiled wide. "You sent the money?" I was uncertain.

"Yeah." Kendall nodded and smiled again. "I felt bad because it was partly my fault for making you lose your job and apartment. I wanted to do something to make up for it."

"Well that was beyond making up for it but you didn't have to spend your money on this."

"I know but I felt like I had to."

"Who is it, babe?" Ashley came and stood besides me in the doorway. I looked at her just in time to see her completely freeze. "UH" She stuttered.

"Oh, Kendall this is Ashley. She was the one I was staying with."

"Hi." Kendall said while he extended his hand out. Ashley shyly took it and said hello.

"Come on in." I said. Kendall, Ashley and I walked into the apartment and I introduced Kendall to everyone. You should've seen them. They stared as if I had just brought in big foot. You could almost hear pin drop, it was extremely amusing. Eventually everyone got over the fact that Kendall was in the same room as them.

"What's going on? Is it a special day today?" Kendall asked.

"Sort of. It's my birthday." I said. Kendall got serious.

"For real?" He asked.

"Yeah."

"That's great. You never mentioned it before. I didn't know."

"Nothing was supposed to be happening today but Ashley invited some friends. I can't tell them to go away so I'm making the best of it."

"That's good. Are you having fun at least?"

"Yeah. I've been needing some time to just relax after the past few weeks." I looked at Kendall and saw him looking at me with a soft smile in his face.

Suddenly the nights we spent together at the hotel started to come back.

"Hello." Carlos walked out into the balcony where Kendall and I were talking.

"Hey Carlos." I said. "Did you already meet Kendall?"

"Yeah. Hey." He told Kendall.

"Hey." Kendall responded.

"What's up?" Carlos asked.

"Not much." I responded.

"Do you want a drink?" He asked.

"No thanks."

"What about you?" Carlos asked Kendall.

"No, I'm good. Thanks."

The three of us had a conversation that lasted for a long time. I could tell Kendall was uncomfortable standing besides Carlos. He seemed a lot more
quiet than I was used to. At around 1:17 a.m. everyone began to leave. Person after person started to walk out of the door until Ashley was the last to go.

"Did you have a good time?" She asked.

"Yes. It was great. Thanks for calling everyone on such short notice."

"You are very welcome. I'll talk to later, okay."

"Yep."

Ashley walked out of the apartment and the only ones left were Kendall and I.

"Are you going to leave it like this?" Kendall asked referring to the mess of cups and pizza boxes in the living room. It was a huge mess but it was 1 in the morning and I didn't feel like cleaning.

"'l'll clean up tomorrow."

"Okay. I bet getter going. I cant believe its this early in the morning."

"Do you have to work tomorrow? Wait I mean today."

"Not till noon."

"Well, if you want you can crash here." I said. "I mean, its really early. Maybe you shouldn't drive on no sleep." Kendall only nodded. I laid out blankets and pillows on the couch and get it ready for Kendall.

"Night." I said.

"Good night." Kendall replied.

I got into my room and under my sheets when I heard the couch squeak. I thought Kendall was getting comfortable until I saw him walk up to the room door, wearing just a white tee and his boxers. He stood still while we looked at each other. He moved besides my bed and crawled in.

"It was hell being alone at the hotel." Kendall whispered. I looked at him with intensity and before I knew it we were kissing. A sense of déjà vu came over me as we laid back onto the soft mattress. Kendall kneeled and forcefully pulled his white shirt off and got back down. I did the same and soon we were trying our best to rip away our boxers that covered our lower half. Kendall laid over me, our bare bodies grinding together creating a dangerous amount of friction and body heat. He got into position between my legs when I stopped him.

"What's the matter?" He asked.

I reached into my nightstand and pulled out a small box of condoms and handed one to him. Kendall took the condom and quickly took it out of the sealed pouch then placed it on himself. He flipped me over on my stomach and wasted no time in getting to work. Slowly, Kendall made his way inside of me. Every small move sending a jolt of electricity and goose bumps around my body. The pressure was intense. My moans were muffled by the pillow my face was buried in. Kendall found his rhythm and the pressure became pleasant. I could hear Kendall behind me letting out small breaths of air every time he inserted himself. The room soon became filled with yelps and moans and heat. I pushed myself up with my arms, my back pressed close against Kendall's chest. I could feel his moist skin sticking to mine the more we went on. It was more than I could handle. I felt Kendall become tense behind me right before he came.

"Oh God." Kendall sighed. "Fuck"

His pace became slower and more gentle until he let himself fall into my back and I fell onto the bed. I could feel his warm breath in my ear as he caught his breath. We were both high even though we had not taken any sort of drug. The room spun in circles as I looked up at the ceiling. I turned to Kendall and saw him breathing normally besides me, his mouth open, sucking in air. Kendall turned his entire body towards me and moved my head to his then kissed me lightly on the lips. I kissed him back and we fell asleep together.
