Author's Note: Look at that, two stories in one day! I wasn't going to update this anymore until I was done with my other story, but it was killing me so I had to. I forgot to mention this in the last chapter, but this story was inspired by "kendalizabeth" on Tumblr. Her manips of Kendall and Jade (Kendall and Liz) really made me want to write a story about them and that's what I did. I'm almost done with chapter three, but I don't know when that'll be published. I might even surprise myself and upload it next week. Until then, enjoy!
Kendall woke up the next morning and started to get ready for work. He showered and got dressed before making his way into the kitchen where he was met with Jade.
She was sitting at the island eating a bowl of cereal. Her hair was up, she had no make-up on, and she still had her pajamas on.
Kendall smiled at her appearance before saying, "Good morning."
Jade turned around and looked at him. "Hey,"
"I didn't wake you, did I? If I did, I didn't mean to. I was trying to be as quiet as possible."
"No, I told a friend I would hang out with her today. She'll be here in an hour and a half, so I decided to get up."
Kendall smirked. "You have friends?"
"Haha, you're so funny."
"Sorry, it's just that you don't seem like a people person."
"I'm not, but she's been my neighbor since I was five, so she's the closest thing I have to a best friend."
Kendall nods as he takes things out of the refrigerator to prepare breakfast for himself. "I'm surprised you didn't ask her to be your roommate."
"I would kill that girl."
He laughs. "So honest."
"You'll get used to it and I mean what I said. She drives me insane. If I had to live with her, I would smother her with a pillow."
"Okay, let's change the subject. Do you want some actual breakfast? Something more than a bowl of cereal?"
"What makes you think I would eat what you made? I don't know if you can really cook or not."
"You liked the spaghetti." he smirks.
"I never said if I liked it or not."
"You ate it."
"I was hungry."
"Come on, Jade. You know that spaghetti was good."
Jade gets up and places her bowl in the sink. "I'm gonna go take a shower."
"Aw, did I make you wanna leave?"
"Yep." she replies as she walks out.
"You'll get used to it." he tells her and goes back to cooking.
Jade is sitting in the living room by herself, Kendall left just an hour ago, destracting herself by watching TV as she waits for her friend.
Just as she turns the television off, there's a knock at the door.
"It's open!" she yells.
"Hi," her friend, Cat, greets her. "How are you?"
"Fine." she replies.
Cat takes a seat next to her on the couch. "Did you find a roomie?"
"Yeah."
"What's her name?"
"It's a guy and his name is Kendall."
"He sounds cute. Is he cute?"
Jade rolls her eyes. "We have different tastes in guys."
"But is he cute?"
"I'm not answering that."
"Why?"
"Cat, what's with all the questions?"
"I just wanna know." Cat whines.
"I am not answering that question."
Cat sighs. "Fine, what do you wanna do today?"
"Before we do anything I wanna go to that café downtown."
"Why?"
"Because that coffee I had from there yesterday was good and I want some more."
"You usually only stick to one place for your coffee."
"I know, but it was good and Kendall works there, so you'll get to meet him."
"Yay!"
"You're paying, by the way."
"I paid last time!"
Jade shrugs and grabs her keys. "Now you're paying again."
"'Kay, 'kay." Cat responds.
"I strongly reccommend you get decaf." she tells her as they walk out the door.
"Why?"
"Because you do not need caffeine."
They drive to the café downtown and make their way inside.
"Damn, this line is huge!" Jade comments.
"Do you see him?" Cat asks, jumping up and down to see over the people.
"Cat," Jade takes out her keys. "Go sit at a table and play with these."
"'Kay, 'kay." she replies cheerily and runs off to a table.
"Idiot." Jade murmurs.
Jade waits somewhat patiently in the long line for ten minutes and finally arrives at the front where Kendall is arranging things in the cash register.
"Welcome to Café LA, how may I-" he looks up and stops talking when he sees Jade. "Oh, hey."
"Hey."
"I'm not getting kicked out already am I?"
"No."
Kendall smiles. "Good, what can I get you?"
"I'll have what I had yesterday and anything that's not coffee for my friend."
He chuckles. "Coming right up. Take a seat, I'll bring it to you."
Jade nods and goes over to where Cat is sitting. "Give me back my keys."
"'Kay." Cat hands them back to her.
"Why is my keychain cracked?"
"I bit it."
"Why?"
"Because I wanted to know what it tasted like."
Jade rolls her eyes. "Being around you is like being around a child."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means that you act like a child."
"That's mean."
"Yeah, I don't care."
"So, is Kendall here?"
"He works here, where else would he be?"
"He could be using this place as a decoy."
"Cat, don't be even more stupid than you already are."
"Do you think he's cute?"
Jade sighs. "Didn't we discuss this back at my place?"
"No, I asked is he cute; I didn't ask if you thought he was cute."
Jade rolls her eyes at Cat being correct. "I'm still not answering that."
"I just wanna know."
"Decide for yourself, he's coming over right now."
Cat glances in the direction Jade's looking. "He is cute. He's really cute."
"Whatever."
Kendall walks over and places a cup in front of Jade. "Coffee for you."
"Thanks." Jade mumbles. "This is Cat." she tells him.
"Nice to meet you." he smiles and places a cup in front of Cat. "Here's your tea."
Cat smiles and bats her eyelashes. "Thank you."
"No problem."
Jade raises her eyebrows at Cat.
"Oh!" Cat exclaims and opens her purse. "How much?"
"It's on the house."
"Really?" Jade asks.
"Really."
"Cool."
Cat stares at Kendall for a few seconds before saying, "You never introduced yourself."
"Kendall." he smirks and holds his hand out.
Cat takes it and smiles again. "I like your name."
"Thanks, I like yours as well."
Jade frowns at the two of them and rolls her eyes. "Don't you have to get back to work?"
"I suppose I do. I'll see you later."
"Yeah, yeah."
"It was nice meeting you, Cat." he says and starts to walk away.
"You, too." she smiles.
"Let's go."
"We haven't been here that long." Cat complains.
"It's been long enough." Jade tells her. "Now, let's go."
"I thought we were going to drink our coffee and tea here."
"You thought wrong. They're in to-go cups anyway."
"I wanna stay."
"Caterina Valentine, get your ass out the seat and come on."
"Fine," Cat grabs her purse and cup. "You're so bossy." she mumbles.
"What?" Jade snaps.
"Nothing."
"That's what I thought."
"Finally," Kendall's friend and co-worker, Camille, says. "I thought we'd never get a break!"
"I know, everyone wants to come here today."
"Got that right. Where do you wanna go for lunch today?"
"To be honest, I don't know. I feel like we've had lunch at every place possible."
"That's because we eat from the same places all the time." Camille states.
"Okay," Kendall sighs. "I made some spaghetti last night, with Jade's help, we could go to the apartment and have that for lunch.
"Kendall Knight's famous spaghetti? I'm down for that."
"Great, let's go."
They drive to the apartment, Kendall telling Camille what he has learned and knows about Jade.
"And you're choosing to live with someone like that?"
"Jade may seem a little mean, but I have a feeling that deep down inside she's actually a sweet person." he tells her as he pulls into the parking lot.
"Just know that if you ever need a place to stay, my door's always open."
Kendall smiles. "Thanks."
"Anytime."
"Come on, let's go see if she's home."
"And eat spaghetti." Camille reminds him.
He nods. "And eat spaghetti."
They take the elevator up to the apartment and stop in front of the door.
"She won't mind me being here, will she?"
"She shouldn't."
"I just don't wanna get you kicked out the day after you moved in."
"It'll be fine." he reassures her and digs around in his pocket. "Damn,"
"What?"
"I forgot my key in my room. I knew I should've put it on the ring with my car key."
"Knock, maybe she's home."
"Hopefully." he sighs and knocks on the door.
The door opens slowly before Cat peeps through the crack and opens it all the way.
"Hi," she greets.
"Hey, Cat. This is my friend Camille." he introduces them as he walks in, Camille following behind.
"Nice to meet you." Cat smiles.
Camille nods. "You, too."
"Jade home?"
"In her room."
"Thanks. Spaghetti's in the refrigerator, Camille."
"Okay."
"Warm some up for me." he tells her before he makes his way down the hall.
"No problem."
He stops in front of Jade's door and knocks lightly.
"What?" he hears Jade yell.
He opens the door a little and looks around. "Jade?"
Jade comes walking out of her closet in nothing but her bra and jeans. "What?" she asks again.
Kendall immediately averts his eyes. "I was just checking, you don't mind that I invited someone over?"
"Do what you want."
"Thanks." he replies and starts to walk out.
"Bring me that shirt on my desk!" she yells from her place back in the closet.
"Which one?"
"The red one."
He picks it up and walks into her closet, still not looking at her. "Here you go."
"Thanks." she smirks. "Is this making you uncomfortable?"
"Yeah."
"Good."
"I'm leaving."
"That's fine. Just so you know, I didn't need the shirt.
"You're cruel."
She gasps sarcastically. "Look who's catching on."
"I'll be in the kitchen."
"Yeah, yeah."
For the next half hour, Kendall eats his lunch with Camille and Cat. Kendall and Camille getting to know Cat and vice versa.
After being in her room the entire time, Jade finally makes an appearance and goes to the refrigerator to grab a bottle of water.
"Jade, this is my friend Camille."
Jade glances up. "Hey," she says simply before walking out.
"Jade's not the friendliest person." Cat tells her.
"Noticed."
"Come on, let's get back to work before we're late."
"Okay, it was nice talking with you, Cat."
"Same." Cat replies with a smile.
Kendall and Camille start making their out the kitchen and into the living room to get back to work when Jade walks out.
"Blondie,"
Kendall turns around. "Yeah?"
"Here," she tosses him his key. "Try not to make this a habit."
"Thanks." he smiles softly and walks out the door.
Many hours later Jade finally sends Cat home after she begins to feel even more annoyed by her presence than usual.
She does a little bit of cleaning around the apartment before deciding to take a nap. Once she has the blanket over her on the couch she closes her eyes, fully prepared to enjoy the peace and quiet, until she hears a phone ringing.
Getting off the couch, she walks into the kitchen where she sees Kendall's phone ringing with a call from his mom.
"First his key and now his phone." she mumbles before answering. "Hello?"
"Hi, you must be Jade."
"That I am. I'm sorry, but Kendall's at work and he forgot his phone." she responds nicely.
"Not surprising, he forgets a lot of things."
"Can't argue with you on that."
"I won't keep you, but just let him know that I'm going out of town and if he needs anything his key is under the doormat."
"I'm guessing he forgot to bring that key with him, right?"
"Right."
"I'll be sure to give him the message, Mrs. Knight."
"Thank you."
"No problem, goodbye."
"Goodbye, Jade. I hope to meet you when I get back."
Jade rolls her eyes. "I'll be looking forward to it."
She hangs up and returns to the living room to try and start her nap all over again when her own phone rings.
"Why?" she groans before looking down and answering the call from 'unknown'. "Who are you and why do you have my number?"
"It's me." Kendall replies.
"What?"
"I forgot my phone."
Jade scoffs. "Obviously."
"I was just going to tell you that if anyone calls, don't answer."
"Too late, your mom called and she said that she's going out of town and left your key under the doormat."
"Okay, but if anyone else calls just ignore it."
"Fine by me, I don't wanna play secretary for you."
"See you later."
"Whatever." she replies before hanging up.
She sits on the couch for five minutes waiting to see if anyone else calls or comes to the door before she gets into a comfortable position and takes a well-deserved nap.
