Chapter Four

Aria woke up the next morning in a daze. She couldn't believe that happened last night. All her life she had always thought no guy would ever like her and then she moves to Hollywood and finds the perfect guy who actually liked her back. Aria got up had a shower and got ready for her day. She walked out of her room to find her mother making her breakfast. She had been up and to the grocery story already. She was making eggs and bacon for Aria. She had make them sunny side up and had them as eyes and she had made the bacon into a smile. "I figured I'd make you breakfast to match your mood." She said with a smile. Aria heard her cell phone go off. She looked down it was a text from Kendall.

It said. "Good Morning, gorgeous. :) Want to have lunch with me today?" Aria smiled at her phone.

"I know that smile! That's the smile you get when someone talks about a boy you like… It's Kendall isn't it?" Her Mom teased with a smile.

Aria giggled. "Yes it is." She said smiling like a crazy person.

"Weeeeell? What'd he say? The boy kissed you last night he's got to have something nice to say…"

Aria read her Mom the text. "That's so cute! You better accept." She advised.

"I don't know if I can. I'm working with Gustavo today…" she hit reply and typed "I'd love to but I'm not sure if I can because I'm at Rocque Records today with Gustavo…"

Her phone lit up almost immediately. "I can sway him to give you the time off to do lunch with me. I'll pick you up around 12:30. ;)"

"I'm looking forward to it! :D" she replied. Aria finished her breakfast and headed to Rocque Records.

Kelly met Aria at the front door. "Hi Aria! Welcome to Rocque Records!" she said as Aria saw her. Kelly gave her a tour of the building and showed her where she'd be spending her time. Then they found Gustavo. They chatted for a while until around 11 when Aria got in the recording booth to sing she sang and sang until she saw Kelly get the door and tell Gustavo something and he cut the track and said he had to take care of something. Aria looked at her watch it was about 12:25. She looked up and saw Kendall in the doorway waving at her like an idiot. She got out of the booth and went over to him.

"Kendall, you can't just come in and demand to take my new talent out to lunch!" Gustavo said to him.

"But I have a lunch date with her! Please! I'll even get the guys to come in early tomorrow and we'll work through lunch." Kendall pleaded.

Gustavo let out a frustrated sigh. "Do whatever you want. I'll just write, produce and sing all the songs all by myself!" he stormed off.

"Just come in at your regular time tomorrow, Kendall. Aria, when will you be back?" Kelly said to the duo.

Aria looked at Kendall. "1:30-ish." He said.

"Okay. I have to go tend to Gustavo." Kelly said as she ran off in the direction Gustavo went in.

Kendall turned to Aria. "Hi." He said smiling at her a kissing her on cheek. Aria smiled back and hugged him. "So, where are we going?" she asked.

"The beach." He said with a smug look. "We're having a picnic."

Kendall grabbed Aria's hand and led her to the car.

Kendall drove them to the beach. They laughed and sang along to the radio on the way there. Kendall grabbed a picnic basket and a bag out of the back of the car and we headed to the down by the water.

The beach was pretty empty, there was only a few people walking dogs and walking along the beach. Kendall set up a blanket and umbrella. Aria and Kendall sat on the blanket. Kendall pulled to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and two water bottles out of the basket.

"How'd you know PB & J was my favourite?" Aria asked.

"I took a wild guess…" Kendall chuckled.

They ate their sandwiches. Kendall pulled Aria onto is lap. He placed a bag in her lap.

"What's this?" Aria questioned.

"Open it." Kendall said with a smile.

Aria opened the bag and in it was her bathing suit.

"I got it from your Mom. The change rooms are that way." He said pointing to the change rooms. Aria giggled and got up and went to the change rooms.

Aria exited the change rooms to find Kendall sitting on the blanket in his swim trunks that she hadn't noticed he'd been wearing the whole time. She soon got distracted by the fact that he was no longer wearing a shirt. He really was perfect. He looked up at her "Hey beautiful." He said with a smile. He got up. "You ready to swim?"

"Aren't you supposed to wait like an hour after you eat before you get in the water?" Aria asked.

"Well, I only have you for an hour soooo, no." Kendall said as he picked her up. Aria yelled "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Kendall threw her in the water. Aria screamed as she fell in the water. She got up and said "You are going DOWN!" as she playfully tackled Kendall. They were both on the ground rolling around in the sand, laughing. Kendall had Aria pinned on the ground, she was struggling to get free.

"Struggling is pointless, young one." Kendall laughed evilly.

"Young One? I'm only a few months younger than you!" Aria stopped struggling. She gazed at Kendall.

"What?" he asked gazing back at her.

"You have really pretty eyes." She said. Kendall smiled. He got off her and they were both lying in the sand in silence, looking at the sky.

"Hey, Kendall…" she said after about 3 minutes of silence.

"Yeah?" he said.

"What is this?" she asked.

"This is us, lying in the sand?" he replied.

"Not what I meant… What are we?" she asked propping herself on her elbow to look at him.

He did the same. "Well, here's what I know. I met this is girl yesterday. She's really gorgeous and funny and talented and amazing. She's the perfect girl for me. I really really like her. And I really really hope she likes me back…"

Aria leaned into Kendall and kissed him. "Trust me. She does." She giggled.

They both got up and managed to get most of the sand of themselves. They got back up to their beach blanket. Aria looked at her phone to see she had a message. It was from Kelly. It read "We don't need your back in the studio today. And tomorrow you have the day off. See you in two days! :)"

"Awesome!" Aria said out loud as she sat back down on the beach blanket.

"What's up?" Kendall asked.

"They don't need me back today and I have tomorrow off." Aria said with a smile.

"You have a beautiful smile." Kendall said. He pulled Aria closer to him. She rested her head on his bare chest. "So what do you want to do for the rest of the day?" Kendall asked.

"Let's just stay here for a while." Aria replied.

Kendall wrapped his arms around Aria. She felt like she could stay there forever.
