A week later I have finally gotten completely moved in and starting to really settle into a routine. The nicest thing about my room was because James took so long in the bathroom and none of the guys wanted to share with him he got one of the rooms with it's on bathroom so now I have my own so I don't have to worry about awkward run ins with three of my bosses. Kendall and I have been a little flirty lately but I can't really imagine that there is anything to it.
I had just gotten out of the shower and covered myself with my towel wrap. I quickly towel dried my hair before going back into my bedroom. I opened the bathroom door and jumped when I saw Kendall sitting on the edge of my bed.
He chuckled at my reaction. "Dude! What the hell?" I screamed clutching the wrap to my body. Now very aware that I was practically naked in front of him. I saw his eyes kind of scan my body making me blush.
"Didn't mean to scare you, however I gotta admit it was pretty funny." He smirked.
I laughed awkwardly, "What are you doing in here?"
" I wanted to tell you that we're headed on to the office. You can come in whenever you're ready but we have some stuff to get done." He said while walking towards my bedroom door. All I could do was nod and watch as he left my room. After standing in shock for a couple of minutes I was finally able to keep getting ready. That cheeky bastard! He did that on purpose! But why? Hmm…I know who I can talk to about this.
Twenty minutes later I pulled up at the office with only one mission. I got my everyday morning work finished then called into Logan's office.
"What's up, Ivy?"
"Logan, good morning. Can I come talk to you for a few minutes?" I asked making sure I had an innocent tone to my voice,
"Sure. I'm not that busy." I hung up and walked to the other side of the building and walked in without knocking and made sure that the door was closed behind me. He looked up and sat back a little in his chair and gave me a smile. "What's going on, Ivy?"
"I just wanted to ask you something. Did you know that Kendall was coming to tell me that you guys were leaving early for the office this morning?" the smirk the came on his face showed me that Kendall had shared our little run in. "What the hell is that smirk for?"
He laughed, "Nothing, He just told us that you weren't exactly dressed when you came from your bathroom." He said with a shrug of his shoulders like it wasn't a big deal.
"I had a towel wrapped around me! It's not like I was naked infront of him! Anyways, why did he tell me? Why didn't you or Carlos?" I pushed.
"He volunteered."
"Why?"
He looked at me confused. "Why does it matter who told you? Does someone have a little crush?" His eyes were playful.
"No." I said plainly looking over to the corner of his office.
"Yeah, sure okay whatever. Don't bullshit me, Ivy. It's okay you know." I glanced back at him.
I let out a frustrated growl and threw my hands in the air! "I came in here to question you about Kendall how did you turn this on me?" I let out a little laugh.
He laughed with me and gave me one of his award winning smiles, "I'm just that good."
"I guess so. So tell me, Mr. Mitchell. What does Mr. Knight say about me when I am not around?" I asked leaning against his desk.
He shook his head, "Oh no! Nope. Not gonna work darling."
I pouted. "Please!"
"Ivy, you're twenty three years old. Are you really begging to see if a guy likes you or not?"
I nodded, "I just want to know. I am definitely not ready to date yet after everything that has happened but it would be nice to know what Kendall is thinking. Will it help if I admit what I think about him?" I know I sounded like a crazy person but at the moment I really couldn't care less.
"You don't have to admit it, Ivy. I already know that you have feelings for Kendall. But I also know you're scared of out your mind."
Before I could come back there was a knock on Logan's office door. "come in." Logan told who ever it was. I turned and paled when I saw Kendall walk in.
"Logan, we need to talk that upcoming meeting." He spoke without looking up at from the folder he carrying.
"Well I will let you guys get to work." I spoke as I got up from the chair, Kendall looked up and smiled at me.
I walked out before he could say anything else. I thought talking to Logan would help the situation but honestly all he did was confuse me even more! Should have known better than to go to a man about another man.
The rest of the day went by as usual. They had a big sales meeting next week and they had just finished designing their new line of goalie masks so we had plenty of stuff to do.
About five James came in my office, "Hey, could you send a request to this company and ask them to send us some of their sample schemes and color palettes. This is the company we are considering using to help with the baseball line but want to look at their stuff first." He asked as he handed me the folder with all the information in it. I smiled and looked over the stuff, "Sure, I'll write up the request and give them an email probably tomorrow morning if that's okay."
"Sounds good." He was about to leave when I stopped him,
"Hey, james. Does Jade have any plans tonight? I could really use some girl time and seeing as the bastard kind of kept me from seeing all my other friends she's the only girl I have."
"Not sure. Text her and see." He gave me a smile before walking out of my office. I got my phone out and found her number. I sent her a quick text asking if we could meet somewhere for coffee after work that I really needed to talk to her about something.
Within three minutes I had a reply. Absolutely. When and where?
I quickly sent her one back that told her to meet me at the Starbucks in town in about an hour.
Two hours later I just walked into the house. After spending an hour talking to Jade I realized that no matter what was going on in Kendall's head I needed to focus on how I was feeling after everything and not rush anything. I sat my keys on the kitchen counter causing Kendall and Logan to look up from the tv and smile at me,
"Hello guys. I figured you would still be at work." I greeted and walked over to sit beside Kendall. His arm was draped across the back of the couch and I laid my head against it.
"We decided to leave it for tomorrow. Get a fresh start to not stress over it so much. We were just about to put in a movie, wanna join?" Logan answered giving me a smile.
"What about Carlos?" I asked realized that Mr. Energy was now where in sight,
"He's out with that girl he met last week." Kendall answered and I just nodded. I managed to convince the guys to watch my favorite movie, Miracle, which wasn't hard to do since it's based on the 1980 US Olympic Hockey Team. In the middle of the movie I was squirming trying to get comfortable when Kendall shifted so he was leaned partially against the arm rest of the couch and gently pulled me so that I was leaning against him, I looked up and gave him a smile and relaxed into my new position. I knew Logan was giving me looks but I ignored it. I know this was probably not the best way to do what Jade and I had discussed but I couldn't help it, it felt so good to cuddle with him.
