Undying Love

Recap:

Kendall knew he had to do this. It was for his own good that he got this special help.

"Ok, Kendall, what is it you've called me here for?" asked the person sitting on the bed opposite Kendall. "Does it involve your love for James?"

"Katie, I need you to help me-" Kendall groaned at the obviousness of his feelings for the pretty boy. "-get rid of my feelings for James."

Chapter 10 – Regrets

"Will you look at that…the two lover boys finally reconsummated their relationship."

Carlos and Logan split apart from their early-morning make out session under the covers and were shocked to see Kendall standing next to their bed, a gigantic grin plastered on his face.

"We did not reconsummate our relationship!"

"And we didn't have sex, either!"

"Carlos…that's basically what reconsummating means…"

"Oh…well we didn't do that?"

"So I suppose you two got cold and decided to stay in the same bed for warmth?"

"Exactly!"

"Usually when people share a bed for warmth, the bed doesn't reek of sexual activities…" (Kendall sprayed some air freshener around the bedroom) "…the two aren't completely naked…" (Kendall pointed to the scattered clothing across the room) "…and the bed isn't sticky and sweaty." (He wiped his hand, which he had previously touched the bed unintentionally with, on his pants leg.)

"Fine, we had sex," Carlos admitted, his mouth forming its own grin. "And it was fantastic. The way Logan squirmed when I-"

Kendall slapped a hand over Carlos' mouth. "Any more details and I will be forced to hurt you."

"You wouldn't hurt someone that's in love, right?"

"Oh no, I definitely would."

Katie whapped a meter stick against Mr. Bitter's display board, which she had stolen once again.

"You need to get over your feelings for James, correct?" she asked, pointing the stick to a picture of James.

"Yeah," Kendall replied.

"The answer is actually very simple," smirked Katie. "The perfect way to get over your feelings for your estranged friend is to spend some time with your girlfriend."

Kendall scratched his head in confusion.

"Your girlfriend," Katie said slowly, upset that her brother wasn't grasping the concept. "You know, blond, movie star, pretty, named Jo Taylor…"

"Oh her," said Kendall as if he'd just found a cure for cancer. "I like that plan, little sister. I owe you one," he started to walk off.

"Actually, you owe me thirty bucks and a ride to the ice cream shop," grinned Katie with her puppy dog eyes.

Kendall glanced at her, intent not to give in, but it didn't work. "I'll get my keys."

Before they got to the elevator, Kendall had an idea.

"Hey, I'll pick up Jo for some ice cream while I'm at it!"

Katie rolled her eyes. "It's about time you caught on."

"Uh…hello, Mr. Taylor. Is Jo home?" Kendall was still quite intimidated by Jo's father after the whole Prom incident. Mr. Taylor looked at Kendall with a hardened, callous face, before shouting for his daughter to come to the door.

"Don't pull any stunts, Knight," Mr. Taylor whispered menacingly to Kendall.

"Is he ever openly loving towards you?" Katie whispered.

"Hmph," Kendall replied. "I wish. He's disliked me since the beginning, I know it."

Katie focused inside the apartment. "Shhhh! Jo's coming. Act natural."

Kendall fixed his hair lightly and put on his best smile. Jo came to the door looking glamorous as normal, which Kendall took great notice to.

"Hey Kendall," Jo kissed Kendall on the lips quickly. "Did you need something?"

"Well, I was going to take Katie here to get some ice cream and I was wondering if you wanted to come too? We haven't spent a lot of time together recently…"

"I've noticed…" Jo made it sound more like a sigh than anything. "I'd love to come. Let me grab my bag."

Carlos flipped through the channels on the television, persistently trying to find something actually watchable on television. His jaw smacked continuously as he munched on a bag of Cheetos.

Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Logan was standing in the shower thinking hard. He wanted to show Carlos that he could be "sexy" too, but that usually didn't come out right or happened at the wrong time. Not this time…Logan was going to make Carlos harder than a cinderblock.

He stopped the shower, only wrapping himself with a towel and not bothering to dry himself off. Then, he slowly opened the bathroom door and stepped into the kitchen. He coughed rather obnoxiously and awaited a response.

Carlos didn't phase, he was too busy looking at the television.

Logan sighed heavily and coughed even louder, this time gaining his boyfriend's attention. Carlos looked at him nonchalantly before turning back to the television and then looking back at him with wide eyes.

"Logan…what are you-,"

"Shhhhhh," Logan scolded. "You just sit there and look cute. Let me do all the work," Logan smirked mischievously and started to creep towards Carlos. Carlos made no move to take his eyes off an inch of Logan's wet, pale body.

Logan's towel then laid in a heap on the floor.

"Like what you see?" asked Logan, taking advantage of Carlos' lust-locked state.

Carlos nodded instinctively.

Logan smirked and bent over to pick up his towel, giving Carlos a full view of his behind.

The front door opened. "Hello boys, what's-" Mrs. Knight dropped all her shopping bags on the ground and covered her eyes. "I-I…"

Carlos sprung up and grabbed Logan's towel. "I was just helping Logan grab his towel. He's very clumsy today."

"I'm sorry for my…err…clumsiness, Mama Knight," Logan expressed his grandest smile.

"I'm going for a walk. A long walk," stuttered Mrs. Knight, who then walked out the door, closing it behind her.

When she was gone, Carlos burst out in laughter, with Logan turning rosy red in blush.

"What's so funny, Carlos? That was so embarrassing!"

Carlos was doubled over laughing so hard. "Embarrassingly funny!"

"I hate you!" Logan cried playfully, turning around in a huff. Carlos walked up to him from behind.

"I'll make it up to you eventually," Carlos whispered in his sexiest voice. Logan shivered from the sound of his voice. Carlos loved the power he had over Logan sometimes.

"But as for right now, how about we just enjoy some alone time," Carlos added seductively, licking his lips in anticipation.

"Carlos, I just got out the shower. That's completely counterproductive," Logan complained.

"Another shower wouldn't hurt later…"

"Carlos…

"Logie…"

That was it for Logan's defense. "Fine…"

"OH YEAH!" shouted an excited Carlos, shoving Logan playfully back into the hall.

"James, my dad's being very generous for letting you stay here for a while, especially considering we're seeing each other," exclaimed a relaxed Camille. "I don't think he'll be as willing the longer you stay."

"I know, I'm pushing my luck," James replied. "But I'm still downed over the whole Carlos-Logan situation."

"You need to apologize, James. Staying here, away from your true home, is only making it worse. They're your best friends, they'll forgive you." Camille thought for a second. "I know Logan will, at least."

"You're right. I really do miss them…"

"Well you need to get out and get some fresh air. How about some ice cream?" Camille said.

"I suppose. My complexion is in need of some fresh sun…" James pinched his skin.

"So what have you been up to, Mr. Busy?" Jo smiled as she comfortably talked to Kendall.

"Oh, we've been in the studio…Gustavo is thinking about releasing a new EP, so you know…"

"Interesting…"

"How's New Town High?" Kendall still cringed when he thought of Jo and Jett being on the same show.

"Very good, actually. The writers for the show are really creative and it's been fun," Jo looked over the various options for ice cream.

Kendall was genuinely happy. He felt good being with his girlfriend again; it really cleared his mind from the rest of the world.

"I'm sorry I'm burdening you with all of this," exclaimed James gloomily as the two of them stepped out James' shiny red convertible in front of Alice's Ice Cream Parlor, said to be the best ice cream parlor in Los Angeles.

Camile tied her hair in a ponytail and held James supportively. "Don't worry. Eat some ice cream and you'll feel much better. I promise."

The two held hands as they entered the premises of the comfortably atmosphered shop. The smell of ice cream was heaven to the both of their noses, and they quickly entered the line where no one else was in line.

"I'll order," offered Camille. "Can you find us a nice seat, James?"

James nodded in agreement. "It's the least I can do. Thanks, Camille." James started to go, but he shoved his hand in his pocket and pulled out ten bucks. "Here," he said as he put the money in Camille's hand.

"James, I'll pay…"

"No, Camille, you've already done too much for me," James flashed a grateful smile.

Camille smiled back and proceeded to order.

"Hey, Katie, look, it's that boy from school you like," Kendall pointed to a boy for Katie.

"I don't even know who that is…"

"Ten bucks if you go over there and mingle,"

"Twenty bucks and fine," hustled Katie.

Kendall gave in and handed his little sister twenty bucks, watching exasperatingly as she walked over to the unknown kid and started talking to him.

"Phew," Kendall said, turning back to Jo, who had three cups of ice cream on a tray in her hand.

"Jo…you remembered…"

"Of course I remember your favorite flavor of ice cream is chunky monkey," Jo said, giving the tray to Kendall. "It's pretty easy to remember. I'm sure you remember my favorite is chocolate chip cookie dough."

"You know it," Kendall said, trying to look confident.

Jo laughed. "I'll find us a table. Can you get the spoons and everything?"

"Yeah, sure," Kendall turned to the silverware station to collect everything.

"Kendall?"

Kendall turned around to see none other than the person he didn't want to see.

"Oh, hey James."

There was an awkward silence, but James broke it.

"Kendall, listen to me. I'm really sorry to you and the others for what I did. I was wrong and I realize that. But I just want to make things better again. Can you please just talk to me again? I miss talking to you, I really do."

Kendall thought long and hard about what he was going to do. Could he really forgive James, after all that he'd done? He missed James too; who wouldn't miss James? But he purposely came on this outing to get his mind off of James, and this was well, fucked up luck for him.

"I'm sorry, James, but I'm not really the one that you need to be apologizing to…and I really don't want anything to do with you right now."
