Chapter Five

Kendall had driven them back to the Palmwoods and Aria told her Mom about what happened and that she had the rest of the day off. Her Mom was going to back to Ontario for a few days to help Aria's father and sister finish packing so they could move out to L.A. Aria wished her mother a safe flight and hopped in the shower. She had gotten dressed, put on Kendall's hoodie and sat down on the couch. Moments later there was a knock on the door. She got up and opened it. Kendall was standing there holding a DVD and microwave popcorn. He looked at her hoodie and back up at her face and smiled. She invited him in.

"Where's your Mom?" he asked handing her the popcorn and walking over to the TV.

"She's going to Ontario, to help my Dad and sister pack. So, I have the apartment to myself for a few days. " She replied putting the popcorn in the microwave and heading to the couch. She sat down next to Kendall who was setting up the movie. Kendall got the popcorn and drinks for them. They curled up on the couch and watched the movie. Once they were done the popcorn, Aria put a pillow on Kendall's lap and rested her head on it. Kendall found himself watching Aria more than the movie. Every time she laughed he couldn't help but stare at her. Before he knew it, the movie was over. Aria turned and looked up at him.

"You have excellent taste in movies." She stated.

"I try." He said with a smirk.

"What time is it?" Aria asked.

"About 5. You hungry?" he said.

"Yeah. I'm supposed to Skype with my best friend Brianna from Ontario at 5:15 though…" she said.

"How about you Skype with her and I'll go grab a pizza and come back here and we'll eat when you're done." Kendall suggested.

"Sounds good." Aria said as she sat up. Kendall got up and hugged Aria.

"I'll be back with food in a bit." He said with a wink. He walked out of the apartment.

Aria grabbed her laptop and turned it on. When she logged into Skype, Brianna was already online.

Brianna called her immediately. "ARIA!" Brianna screamed when she saw her in her computer screen.

"Heeeeeeeeeeeeeey!" Aria yelled back at her.

"How's L.A.?" she asked.

"Sunny." Aria joked.

"Your apartment looks nice." She observed. "Soooo, tell me. Have you met any new friends? potential boyfriends? Famous people? Tell me tell me tell me."

"Well, I'm staying at the Palmwoods so there's people trying to become famous everywhere. I met some nice people…" Aria said shyly.

"Why are you holding back? And what's with that look? OH MY GOD. You've met someone haven't you? WHO IS HE?" Brianna was yelling with excitement at her.

"Calm down, you're going to scare your dog. His name is Kendall and he just went to get us pizza for dinner." Aria said looking down a smiling.

"OH MY GOD. You're totally head over head for him! Does he have a last name? Does he live at the Palmwoods? Is he famous?" Brianna was talking so fast that Aria was struggling to keep up.

"Yes he does have a last name. It's Knight. Yes he lives at the Palmwoods and he's sorta famous. He's in that band, Big Time Rush." Aria managed to answer to questions.

"Hold on, I'm googling him." Brianna said typing a mile a minute. "OH HOT DAMN. HE IS FIIIIINE." Brianna joked.

There was a knock on the door. "Hold on, door." Aria said getting up to answer it.

"Seriously though Aria, he's like really really good looking. I'd tap that and you better do it quick. Do NOT let that boy go." Brianna was talking as Aria opened the door. Kendall was back the pizza.

"That was quick!" Aria said to him. Kendall gave her a questioning eyebrow raise because Brianna was still ranting about how good looking he was in the background. He came in and set the pizza on the counter. Aria ran back to the computer. "BRIANNA! Shut up!" Aria said giving Brianna a death stare through the computer. Kendall chuckled. Aria looked up at him.

"He's right there, isn't he?" Brianna asked.

Aria nodded. "Uh...Yeah." she said. Kendall appeared behind her. "Hi Brianna!" he said in a cheery tone.

"Hello!" she said slightly embarrassed.

Kendall wrapped his arms around Aria. He definitely wasn't afraid to show others how much he liked her. "Well, we should probably eat our pizza before it gets cold. I guess I'll talk to you later" Aria said to Brianna.

"Okay. Have fun. Don't do anything that I wouldn't do." Brianna said jokingly.

"You do realize there nothing you wouldn't do right?" Aria asked.

"Exactly." Brianna said with a wink.

Aria said good bye and turned off her computer.

Kendall and Aria ate their pizza. They just talked for hours and hours. It was about 9:30 when they curled up on the couch to watch TV. Aria put her head on Kendall's chest and he wrapped his arms around her. They both drifted off to sleep.
