Chapter Eleven
Aria stood outside Big Time Rush's dressing room waiting for Kendall. She was still in a daze after he pulled her on stage and sang to her. She and Kendall had said good bye to her parents but she hadn't really had a chance to talk to him after the concert. Suddenly the door opened and she could hear James, Carlos and Logan yelling stuff at him. "SHUT UP. Bye." He yelled back in the room as he closed the door. He looked at her. "Hi." He said showing her that gorgeous smile that she loved so much.
"You ready to go?" he asked.
"Yup." She replied. He grabbed her hand and they headed to the car and got in. Kendall started driving them back to the Palmwoods. They both sat there in silence.
"You're awfully quiet." Kendall stated. He glanced at her. She was staring at him. "What?" he asked.
"Nothing." She said with a smile.
"You're creeping me out…" Kendall joked.
"How?" she questioned.
"Stop staring at me…" Kendall said.
Aria looked out that window. "That was cute. What you did today." She said.
"What was?" he asked jokingly.
Aria rolled her eyes. "You're annoying…and cute."
"I know." He said sarcastically.
They arrived at the Palmwoods. "Are you staying with me tonight?" Aria asked him as they got out of the car.
"Do you want me to? He asked walking over to her. She wrapped her arms around him and he pulled her into a hug.
"I always do…" she said.
"Then come with me to get my stuff." He said as he led her to the entrance of the Palmwoods.
Aria waited outside his apartment while Kendall got his stuff. She could hear James and Jenna giggling like crazy and figured it'd be best if she stayed outside. Soon Kendall emerged with his sleepover stuff. They linked arms and walked to Aria's apartment.
As soon as they entered the apartment Aria found herself pushed against the door with Kendall kissing her. She automatically kissed back.
"Well…" Aria said when they pulled apart.
"That's what happens when I'm gone for 5 weeks." Kendall said. Kendall picked her up and threw her on the couch. Aria screamed and laughed as he did so. Kendall sat on top of Aria.
"So, what're we doing tonight, my love?" he asked her.
"I dunno. Just relax? Tell me about the tour." Aria smiled.
Kendall told her all about the tour, they ate, changed into their PJs and curled up and watched a movie. It was starting to get late.
"You performed today. You must be getting tired." Aria stated. She looked at him and he was struggling to keep his eyes open.
"A bit." Kendall lied.
"Come on." Aria said standing up, grabbing his hand and pulling him up. She dragged him to the bedroom. Aria flopped down on the bed and Kendall crawled in next to her.
Aria snuggled up to Kendall and put her head on his chest. "I missed this…"she said.
"Me too…" he struggled to say through his sleepiness.
"Good Night Kendall. I love you." Aria said.
"I… I lo…lov…" Kendall had fallen asleep. Aria chucked and closed her eyes.
Kendall woke up the next morning to find Aria gone. He sat up and looked around. He heard someone singing in the kitchen. He stopped in the doorway. Aria looked up and smiled.
"Good Morning." She said.
"Mornin'." He said. Kendall when and wrapped his arms around her waist while she flipped pancakes. He started singing to her. Aria joined in.
"You're really a great singer. We should do a duet." Kendall said.
Aria laughed "We should."
"so, what're you up to today?" he asked.
"I'm at Rocque Records. I have a meeting with Gustavo about my demos." Aria said placing the pancakes on the plates next to her and bringing them to the table.
"I remember doing that." Kendall said getting cups and juice and bringing it to the table.
"Want to come with?" Aria asked as she sat down at the table.
"Sure." Kendall said sitting down.
They ate and got ready and headed out to Rocque Records.
They entered the building, hand in hand and found Gustavo, who looked unusually happy, and Kelly.
"Kendall? What're you doing here?" Kelly asked.
"I asked him to come with me." Aria said.
They sat down at the table. "Well, I hope you don't have plans to go back to Ontario anytime soon because Griffin wants you to record a full length album!" Gustavo said exploding with happiness.
Aria looked at Kendall in shock. "WHAT?" Aria yelled. Her, Kendall, Kelly and Gustavo all started screaming.
"SO I'M STAYING?" Aria yelled.
"YEAH!" Kendall said giving her a hug.
"OH MY GOSH!" Aria said. "I have to call my parents…" she said.
Aria pulled out her phone and called her mom.
"Mom? Hi. Guess what?" she said.
"What?" her mom replied.
"I'M RECORDING A FULL LENGTH ALBUM!" she yelled. Her mom screamed with excitement.
"You have to come over for dinner tonight so we can celebrate!" she said.
"Oh. I already have plans with Kendall…" she said.
"So bring him. We'd love to get to know him better." Her Mom said.
"Okay. We'll be there." She replied. "bye Mom!"
She looked up at Kendall. "We're having dinner at my parent's house." She said.
"Okay. Want to get ice cream to celebrate?" he asked.
"As long as they don't need me." She said looking at Gustavo and Kelly.
They nodded telling her she could go.
Kendall and Aria left to celebrate.
