Disclaimer: I don't own Big Time Rush. I only own the storyline, Allie, and Lily.
Kendall refused to tell me any details about Hawaii and James did the same to Lily.
"So uh, when are we going to Hawaii?" I ask.
"Tomorrow," he says, like it was no big deal.
"Tomorrow!" I almost yell and stand. He stands next to me and looks at me worriedly.
"Why? What's wrong?" he asks. I start to pace. I didn't know if Lily could get off of work. I didn't know if I had enough money to bring. I didn't know who was going to take care of Lily's house. But most importantly, I didn't know what I was going to wear. I don't own one swimsuit.
"I don't own a swimsuit," I say sheepishly.
"You don't have one swimsuit?" he asks skeptically. I shake my head.
"Seriously?" he says and laughs.
"Don't make fun! I couldn't afford to buy all new ones after I threw mine away. They were all old," I explain.
"You live in California… and you don't own a swimsuit," Kendall says and laughs again.
"Be quiet," I mumble and flop onto his couch.
"Well then, we'll go shopping," he says.
"We?" I ask. I look up at him and cock an eyebrow.
"I need swim trunks too," He says and shrugs.
"Come on," he says and takes my hand. He pulls me off of the couch and I flop back down.
"No," I say.
"Come on," he says and pulls me back up.
"I don't like shopping," I whine.
"I'll buy," he says and pulls me up for the third time.
"No," I say stubbornly. I don't want him to pay. I don't want to be his charity case.
"Why?" he asks.
"I'm a big girl and can pay for myself, Kendall," I say and flop down. I cross my arms and look at him with the best glare that I can muster without laughing.
"I know you want to laugh," he says and picks me up by my waist.
"Kendall!" I yelp and get nervous. He throws me over his shoulder. "What are you doing?" I say nervously.
"Putting you in my car," he says and walks to the front door, opening it and stepping outside.
"W-what?" I scream. I thrash out of his grip and land on his stairs.
"What? What did I do?" he says nervously. "Oh," he quickly realizes and bends down to my eyelevel.
"I didn't mean to scare you," he says softly and I nod. I wipe a stray tear that fell during the process and stand. I get into his car before he can open the door for me and stare out of my window. I hear the door open and the car start. He pulls out of his driveway and onto the freeway a few minutes later.
"Let me stop at Lily's," I say quietly.
"For?" he asks.
"So I can get money," I say and look down at my hands.
"Alright," he says and turns off of the freeway. He pulls into Lily's driveway a few minutes later.
"How much should I bring?" I ask.
"50 maybe," he says and smiles.
I run inside and hop into the shower. I dress with the clothes that I found on my dresser and take a 50 out of my secret money hiding place in my sock drawer. Thank god for waterproof mascara. I walk outside and he's on his phone.
"Wow, fast shower," he says when I get back in the car. I smile and turn on the radio.
When Kendall turns onto the freeway my favorite song comes on.
"I love this song," I say and turn the volume up. I dance in my seat for a bit until the lyrics come. I sing until the bridge comes. I notice Kendall has a subtle smirk on his face.
"What are you smirking at?" I ask.
"Oh, nothing," he says and puts his phone in his pocket.
The song ends when Kendall turns off of the freeway. He pulls into the mall parking lot and to the valet service. A worker opens my door.
"Thank you," I smile and take Kendall's hand when he reaches the sidewalk.
"Where to?" he asks.
"It doesn't matter," I say softly.
"Follow me," he says and leads us to a small shop with swimsuits in the window. We walk into the shop and there are swimsuits everywhere. I pull five off of the rack and go into the dressing room. Kendall is over looking at swim trunks. When I come out he's sitting on a chair facing the dressing room. He checks me out and I blush.
"Tie this for me?" I ask and he stands. I look into the mirror. "I don't know about this one," I say.
"I like it," he says. I look down and blush. I practically scurry back into the dressing room and come out a little while later with the swimsuits.
"Are you going to get them?" He asks and stands.
"I wish, they all fit but I can't afford them," I reply and put three on a random rack. We go to the checkout and I pay, using all of the money that I took. Kendall pays for the swim trunks that he has in his hands and we walk out of the store.
"Shoot, I must have left my phone on the chair I was sitting on, I'll just take a second," Kendall says and ducks back in the store.
He comes back outside with a smirk on his face. I cock an eyebrow.
"Found it," he says and smiles. We walk around the mall for a few minutes until we pass American Eagle.
"I wish I had enough money to buy shorts," I say.
"I'll pay," he says.
"No," I say.
"You can pay me back if you feel that bad," he sighs.
I think about it for a few moments. I'll have to call Mr. Sanchez, my guardian since my parents died, and get some money out of my bank account. "Alright," I say uneasily. We go around and get shorts. When we're done, Kendall stops and Sunglass Hut and I laugh.
"What?" he asks.
"You have the biggest collection of sunglasses of any other person I know, yet you have to buy some," I say and chuckle.
"Sh," he says and leads me into the store. He picks out a pair and looks at me. "Want a pair?" he asks and I shake my head.
"Your loss," he adds and I smile. He pays and we walk out of the store. We decide to go back to my house so I can pack.
"I've never been to Hawaii before. Want to help me pack?" I ask and he nods. We go downstairs. "Shoot, I forgot to do laundry. I was going to but then I fell asleep at your house" I say and grab my hamper. I set off upstairs and I go outside. I hear Kendall behind me and then he steps in front of me.
"What?" I ask.
"You don't have a washing machine?" he asks and I shake my head sheepishly. "Where do you do your laundry?" he asks.
"A laundromat," I say in a 'duh' voice.
"Oh," he says. "Where's that?" he adds.
"Down the street," I say and step around him. We walk to the laundromat and I put a few loads going because I'm so behind on laundry.
"What time is our flight tomorrow?" I ask.
"8:40," he replies.
"In the morning?" I ask and he nods. I look at my phone and it's 3.
My laundry gets done around 4:30 and I fold it. When that's done, it's around 5. We walk back to Lily's house and she's there packing too.
"I was just heading to the laundromat," she says and sets off right when we get there. I laugh.
"Have fun!" I call to her. I go down to my room and grab my suitcase from inside my closet.
"Okay, so I need shirts, shorts and swimsuits at least," I say and Kendall laughs at me. I ignore him and pack a ton of V-necks, a few t-shirts and undershirts. I throw in the swimsuits and shorts I bought today and a few more of my older shorts.
"Do I need anything nice?" I ask and he nods. I go in my closet and grab a short, sequined purple dress and my high waist skirts.
"Fancy enough?" I ask and he nods.
"You only really need the dress for when we go-" he stops.
"Go where?" I ask skeptically.
"It's a surprise," he says and I know that's all I'm going to get out of him. "But the skirts will be nice for when all of us to out to eat together casually," he adds. I pack them and run upstairs to grab my collection of many sandals and flip flops. Kendall laughs.
"What?" I ask.
"Well I'm obsessed with sunglasses you're obsessed with shoes," he says and chuckles.
"Shut up," I say and he laughs again. I duck into my closet and grab a pair of flats and my two pairs of heels. I grab a handful of underwear and bras. Kendall cocks an eyebrow. I blush and put them in my bag. I pack sleeping shorts and beach towels.
"Be right back," I say and walk to my bathroom. I grab my curling iron and personal hygiene items. I run upstairs and grab a plastic bag to put them in. I grab the envelope in my drawer in the kitchen.
I go back downstairs and pack my stuff, then reach in the envelope to get the money I owe Kendall. I hand it to him and he hands it back.
"No, take it," he says.
"No," I say and he puts it back in my envelope.
"I don't want it," he says and I go to argue with him but I know it's useless.
"Fine," I mumble. I pack a pair of jeans and sweatpants.
"Is that all I need?" I ask and he shakes his head.
"Carry on," he reminds me.
"Oh!" I say. I put the envelope of money into my purse and put my wallet in there as well. I grab a backpack and put my purse in it. I put a few books, a magazine, my phone charger, and a picture of my mom and dad in there.
"Now am I all good?" I ask and he nods. I smile and zip my suitcase.
"All done," I say and he smiles. Kendall grabs my suitcase and takes it upstairs for me.
"Thanks," I say and he smiles.
"Now you have to help me pack!" he says. I look at my phone and see it's around seven. We go to his car and drive to his house. When we get there he gets out and runs inside with the bag he had earlier. I walk inside and into his room. I lay down on his bed.
"Comfy?" he asks and I giggle.
"Yeah," I say and sprawl out. He puts his suitcase on his bed and the he starts piling clothes out on his bed. He fills his bed up and then starts putting piles of clothes on me. I laugh and he continues. He takes less than half of the time I took to pack.
"Been to Hawaii before?" I ask. He nods and smiles.
"How long are we staying there?" I ask.
"Three weeks," he says and I smile. "Then I have to go on tour a few days after we get back," he adds.
"What?" I ask and he nods.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier," he says and looks down.
"It's alright," I say softly. I check my phone and it's around 8.
"Want to watch a movie?" he asks.
"Sure," I say and he goes to pick one out. I fall asleep almost instantaneously. I wake up in Kendall's bed the next morning and I'm up against him.
"Go eat, I'm going to shower then we'll stop at Lily's," he says and gets up. I do as he says and right when I'm rinsing my bowl out he comes in the kitchen.
"Ready?" he asks and I nod. We drive to Lily's and she's in the shower. I see James at the table.
"Well good morning sunshine," he says and smiles.
"Morning," I mumble, still half asleep. Kendall laughs and grabs my bag. He puts it in his car then comes in and grabs Lily's. I hear Lily out of the shower and I walk downstairs.
"Did you call Mr. Sanchez?" I whisper so Kendall and James won't hear.
"Yeah, he's letting us use his credit card," she whispers back. I nod and get into the shower. When I'm done I blow dry my hair. I decide to put on Kendall's bandana again.
'What the heck, we're only going tithe airport,' I think to myself and put on a pair of jeggings and a white blouse. I grab my satchel out of my purse and put it on, then put on my backpack. I grab my sunglasses and go upstairs.
"Nice bandana," I hear Kendall say and I laugh.
"Thanks," I say and we all go into Kendall's car. We get to the airport around 7. I grab my suitcase and we go through security. Lily had to go through about four times because she kept forgetting her watch, jewelry, then the change in her pockets. I'm almost crying from laughing once they finally clear her.
"Shut up," she mumbles and shoves everything into her pockets. When we walk through the airport I see a magazine with me and Kendall on the cover. I stop and buy it. We arrive at our gate around 8:20. I see a Starbucks and my eyes light up.
"Want some?" Kendall asks and I nod. We walk over together and order.
"Is this together?" the worker asks.
"Separate," I say quickly. I pay for my own and I walk back towards out gate.
"You're so stubborn," he says.
"It's one of my best qualities," I say and he laughs. We sit down and I take Kendall's hand.
"Nervous?" he asks and I nod. I've always hated flying. And flying over the middle ocean where we're miles away from the shoreline doesn't make me feel any better.
"Well at least I get the window seat then," he says and chuckles. I practically chug my coffee then Kendall offers me his.
"Ah, caffeine," I say and Kendall starts laughing uncontrollably. I laugh with him until I get nervous again. I stare at the plane out the window and hope to god we don't die. When the airport lady calls for first class Kendall and James stand and look at us expectantly.
"We're in first class?" Lily asks and the guys give us looks like 'duh'.
"Okay then," I say and stand. We board the plane and I take Kendall's hand when we sit down. We're by ourselves in a row and Lily and James are a few rows in front of us. The attendants go through the security procedures and talk about how our seats will work as flotation devices. Kendall notices me tense up and takes my hand.
"Don't be nervous. It's just like riding in a flying car. Except that you really need to pop your ears eventually," he jokes.
"Not helping," I whisper and look out the window. Once we're at the highest altitude that we'll be flying at I see that you can't even see the ocean. All that you can see from the plane is clouds. I relax a little and take out the magazine that I bought in the terminal. The headline of the article reads 'Who is Kendall Schmidt's mystery girl?'. I flip to the article and there are pictures of us walking, me grabbing his arm, me hiding, pictures of us at the mall from yesterday, pictures of us on the park bench, pictures of us smiling, me laughing. Endless pictures that make us seem like we're dating. There's even my twitter name and snippets of his tweets about me. Although you can't see my face in any of the pictures because of my sunglasses, I feel as if my privacy has been invaded. When the attendant comes to check that all our baggage has been stowed, I ask her if she can throw away the magazine. She smiles and agrees.
"Don't you feel as if you're always being watched in public?" I ask him.
He nods. "That's why we're going to Hawaii. So we can get away from them," he says and I smile.
The pilot announces that we're going to be landing a few hours later. The ocean comes into view again and I grab onto Kendall's arm. He laughs. I was fine during the flight because I fell asleep about fifteen minutes after reading the article. But now I'm terrified.
"Why are you so scared of flying?" he asks.
"What if the plane falls out of the sky? We could all die instantly!" I say and flail dramatically. The flight attendant walks by and laughs. I glare at her back and Kendall chuckles.
"If you're that scared I'll sing with you," he says and smiles.
"Alright," I say.
Kendall starts singing Never Say Never by The Fray softly and I join in. When I can see the ground my voice starts getting shaky and I grab onto his arm again. He laughs and continues singing. I sing along in a shaky voice until we're on the ground. I smile at him and he smiles back. When we stop singing I realize that most of the plane has gone silent. I look around and one guy starts clapping. Most of the passengers join in and I blush. I hide behind Kendall's arm. When we're allowed to get off the flight attendant and a few people comment on our singing. I blush until we get into the terminal.
"Race you to the baggage claim!" James says to Kendall and they start running like six year olds. Lily and I laugh until we realize that we have no idea where the baggage claims are. Eventually, we find the escalators and make our way down to the baggage claims. We see Kendall and James and walk over to them.
"Thanks for leaving us lost in the airport," Lily says and hits James' shoulder playfully.
"Sorry," he whispers and leans down to kiss her temple.
"We got the bags though!" Kendall says and smiles. All four of us get our luggage and walk to the rental car counter. James talks to the man and we get two cars. When we get outside there is tons of paparazzi.
"How do they know we're here?" Kendall says to James. James shrugs and takes Lily's hand. We walk out of the airport and they run over to us.
"Thank god for sunglasses," I whisper to Kendall and he smiles. I hide behind his arm until we get a cab. I can already see the headlines for the next article. 'Kendall Schmidt takes girlfriend for Hawaiian vacation'.
"I hope they don't follow us," James says to Kendall. Kendall nods and we get in. We get a ride to the rental car shop and we get two cars. James gets one and Kendall gets the other.
"Next stop is the house," James says.
"House?" Lily asks.
"Vacation house," James says. "A guy from the record label owns it and is letting us use it," he adds.
"Oh," Lily says and gets into the car with James. Kendall and I get into the other. Kendall follows James.
Kendall stays silent and I gasp at all of the beautiful mountains. Kendall chuckles when I gasp.
"What?" I ask after about the third time.
"You're acting like you've never seen mountains before.
"Well I haven't," I say.
"You've lived in California and you've never seen the Sierra Nevadas?" he asks. I shake my head.
"Seriously?" he asks. I nod. "That's surprising," he adds.
"Oh, here we are," Kendall says and pulls into a driveway. It winds through trees until I see an amazing beach house right on the beach. We have our own private beach. I smile at the thought of being here for three weeks with my three favorite people. Kendall parks the car and gets our luggage out of the trunk. Lily and James are already inside. They claim one of the bedrooms so they can stay together. The only room left is the guest bedroom.
"I can sleep on the couch..." Kendall says hesitantly.
"No! You can stay with me, I don't mind," I say quickly. I see Kendall looks skeptical. "Really, I mean it," I add.
"Okay," he says and we go into the room. My mouth drops when I walk in.
"I'm glad you're staying here too, I could never use up this much room," I say and he laughs. We have our own bathroom and a king size bed. The room is beach themed and has chairs in the corner with a small bookshelf. There is a picture of a sunrise on the wall and open rafters on the ceiling. I open the window and there is a perfect view of the ocean.
"Wow, if this is the guest bedroom I wonder what the master looks like," I say. Kendall shrugs and I open my suitcase.
"I call right side of the bed," Kendall says and I smile.
"Good," I say and he chuckles. I walk around the room. On the bookshelf are some books and I mentally noted that I'm going to read them. I walk into the closet.
"I call the dresser," he calls to me.
"I'm perfectly fine with that," I call out and laugh. Kendall walks in.
"Nice," he says and nods in approval.
"Want the right side of the closet too?" I ask and he nods. We start unpacking and about halfway through I see the bag Kendall rushed inside yesterday.
"What's so special about the bag?" I ask and he smiles.
"Got you a present," he says and his smile grows.
"What?" I ask and he hands me the bag. I open it and see the three swimsuits I couldn't afford.
"Kendall," I groan.
"You don't like them?" he asks.
"I can't believe you got me these, you've spent too much money on me," I groan again. "How am I going to pay you back?" I ask. Kendall smiles at me.
"Why are you smiling…?" I say slowly.
"Be my girlfriend," he says.
"Excuse me?" I say, shocked.
I was literally crying earlier because I was so happy. In the first day of me putting my story out, I got 7 people to favorite/set my story on their alerts. I don't know what the difference between hits and reviews are, but I got 101 hits and exactly 50 views! I couldn't believe it. Thank you! It means so much, seriously. Also, if you could, review my story? I can't improve my writing if you don't tell me what I'm doing wrong/right. Again, thank you!
