Chapter 7: Get the Party Started
Kendall and Carlos were getting ready for Logan and James to pick them up for the party. Carlos was less nervous than before. Kendall on the other hand was worried about what his and Logan's lie. He wondered if it would hold up. Kendall was in his room sitting on his bed still not ready for the party. Carlos walked into the room.
"You're not ready yet?" Carlos asked.
"No, I'm worried about tonight," Kendall said.
"Ok, tell me how you and Logan met," Carlos said sensing his roommate's uneasiness. He knew if Kendall said it over and over again it would him be more convincing.
"We met after Dustin left the band while the guys were looking for a new Guitarist," Kendall said thinking to the lie that he and Logan her perfected last night. "Logan and I met and just hit it off," he added.
"Good," Carlos said, "keep that up and everything will be just fine," he said.
"I am about to lie to the whole world," Kendall said.
"You don't have to do this," Carlos said.
"I already told Logan I would," Kendall said.
"You can still back out," Carlos said. He knew Kendall wasn't going to though. Kendall only cared about helping others, even if he barely knew them. Kendall was just that kind of person.
"No I told him I would do it," Kendall said as there was a knock at the door.
"Get dressed, I got it," Carlos said walking out of the room. Kendall nodded his head and walked over to his closet and grabbed a red plaid shirt and skinny jeans. He slipped them on and grabbed his favorite beanie and put it on. He wanted to be comfortable if he was going to lie to the world. Kendall walked out to the living room where the others were waiting for him.
"Is that what you're wearing?" Logan asked.
"Yes is there a problem with it?" Kendall asked.
"Nope," Logan said, "as long as you're comfortable," he said smiling at the blonde. Kendall could tell he was faking it. He was good at it too.
"Can I ask who's throwing this party," Carlos asked James.
"Our friend Stephanie King," James said.
"You know Stephanie King?" Carlos asked.
"Oh god here we go," Kendall said.
"Yeah, she's great maybe I'll introduce you to her," James said.
"You don't want to do that," Kendall said walking into the living room fully. "He will go into fan boy mode," he said walking over to Logan.
"You like Steph's works?" James asked.
"I love them," Carlos said, "I have all her movies even her early work," he said.
"Me too," James said grinning.
"Oh my god we're perfect for one another just be my boyfriend already," Carlos said.
"We'll see how tonight goes," James said laughing.
"Can we get going?" Kendall asked. He wanted to get this night over with as soon as he could. He didn't like lying, but he had no choice. He was doing this to help Logan.
"Yes we can let's go," Logan said. The four left the apartment when Logan's cell phone rang. He pulled it out of his pocket and looked at it. He turned to James. "It's Dak," he said.
"He was going to meet us at the party," James said. Logan answered his phone.
"Hey Dak," he said. He paused while he listened to Dak talk. "Whoa, whoa slow down," he said. The four started down the stairs. "We're on our way, just hang tight and don't go neat him," he said. He hung up and turned to James.
"Jett's at the party," Logan said.
"Shit, Dak told me he was back in town," James said, "I didn't think much about it," he said.
"He told you Jett was back in town but he didn't tell me?" Logan asked confused.
"Maybe he tried to tell you but you were busy worrying about your career," James said.
"True I have been busy lately," Logan said looking over at Kendall. The four made it out of the building and over to Logan's car. James and Carlos got into the backseat and Kendall got into the passengers' seat.
-Better Than I Know Myself-
Kendall followed Logan into the big house. Carlos was walking with James and staring in awe. It was Stephanie King's house.
The four were greeted at the door by none other than Stephanie King herself. She smiled and walked over to Logan and James and gave them both hugs and kisses on the cheeks.
"Steph this is my date Carlos," James said placing a arm around Carlos, "he's a big horror fan," he said smiling.
"A horror fan?" Stephanie asked, "I am working on a new movie. I was asked to direct it, it's got a cast of newbies in the business," she said.
"You're doing a new movie?" James asked.
"It's a zombie flick," Stephanie said.
"Carlos didn't you just get cast in a new zombie movie?" Kendall asked Carlos.
"Yeah," Carlos said.
"Left for Dead," Stephanie asked Carlos who's jaw dropped and he nodded his head slowly.
"Well it looks like we'll be working together soon," Stephanie said.
"I don't think he can talk," Kendall said looking at Carlos who was frozen in place. "It's been like his dream to work with you since he first saw your one of your movies," he said.
"Which one?" Stephanie asked Kendall.
"The one with the goo-aliens," Kendall said.
"Attack from Mars," Stephanie said, "I made that movie in my basement with a bunch of friends. Logan and James were there," she said.
"Oh god," Logan said, "that's right," he said smiling. James laughed and nodded his head. "Oh Steph this is Kendall my boyfriend," he said. Kendall smiled.
"Ah so you're the mysterious boyfriend," Stephanie said, "it's nice to meet you," she said.
"It's nice to meet you too," Kendall said smiling.
"Steph have you seen Dak," James asked.
"He's here but so is Jett," Stephanie said.
"We better go make sure Dak doesn't do something stupid," James said to Logan.
"All right I will see you boys later and I look forward to working with you Carlos," Stephanie said.
"Me too," Carlos said finally getting his voice back. He allowed James to pull him away from her. Kendall allowed Logan to link their arms as they followed the two. Kendall knew it was all part of their charade.
"Why do we need to find Dak?" Kendall asked. He knew who Dak was thanks to Carlos and his obsession with following famous people and currently rising actors. Dak was a currently rising actor in Hollywood.
"Dak used to date Jett Stetson another actor," Logan said, "they broke up but Jett still likes Dak and Dak doesn't like him," he said.
"Ah," Kendall said nodding his head. He looked at James and Carlos who were just ahead of them weaving through the crowd. They seemed to be talking. Carlos laughed and James looked at the Latino and smiled.
"Oi, keep an eye out for Dak," Logan said pushing James' shoulder. James looked over his shoulder glaring slightly at Logan before scanning the area and finding Dak. James brought Carlos over and Kendall and Logan followed.
"Dak," Logan said getting the brunette's attention. Dak turned and sighed in relief when he saw them. He moved over to them.
"Thank god you're here," Dak said, "Jett's been annoying me ever since he arrived," he said.
"We're here now he should leave you alone," James said looking around for the other actor.
"Why?" Carlos asked.
"Jett knows Dak doesn't return his feelings and Logan and I have no problem kicking his ass if he annoys Dak too much," James said.
"How long have you three been friends," Carlos asked.
"Almost six years now," Logan said, "Dak is a great friend to have," he added.
"So I take it you must be Kendall," Dak said looking at Kendall. Kendall nodded his head. "I'm Dak it's nice to meet you," he said smiling.
"As you know I am Kendall and this is my friend Carlos," Kendall said pointing to Carlos and James who were standing a few feet away from the other three now talking and laughing. "Don't mind him he and James are still in that new relationship stage," he said.
"I know, James has really stopped talking about him," Dak said, "he called me and Logan after the date last night and then he wouldn't shut up this morning," he added laughing. Logan nodded his head when Kendall looked at him.
"Carlos has been the same way," Kendall said.
"I think they are cute together," Logan said looking at them.
"At least something good came out of this whole mess," Kendall said, "they are great together but if he hurts Carlos I will kick his ass," he said turning to Logan once more.
"I will too, Carlos is sweet and if James fucks it up I will hurt him," Logan said. Kendall smiled glad that they were on the same page about this.
"You two look like friends," Dak said.
"What are you getting at Zevon," Logan asked.
"You're supposed to be dating act more like James and Carlos," Dak said pointing to the two who were laughing together.
"We're supposed to have been dating longer than them," Kendall said. Logan moved to stand right next to Kendall. Kendall grabbed Logan's arm and placed it around his waist. He leaned into Logan. "We have to make it look believable," he said laughing lightly. Logan nodded his head.
"So Kendall," Logan said.
"Yeah," Kendall said looking at Logan.
"Thanks for coming," Logan said, "I mean I know this probably isn't what you wanted but it really helps me," he said. Kendall nodded his head.
"Who knows maybe I might have fun these next eight months," Kendall said laughing. Logan laughed as well.
-Better Than I Know Myself-
Kendall was standing alone with while Logan and James mingled and talked with some friends. Carlos was with James since James wouldn't let him leave his side. Kendall didn't mind being apart from Logan right now. He needed his space and Dak needed someone with him to keep Jett away.
"So Kendall," Dak said.
"Yeah," Kendall said looking at Dak.
"Are you going to be their guitarist?" Dak asked.
"I'm not sure," Kendall said, "we haven't talked about that yet. The only reason I auditioned was because Carlos and my friend Camille wanted to get me out of my crappy job of waiting," he said. Dak laughed at that.
"That's how I got into acting," Dak said, "I met Jett and w3e started dating and he had me help him run lines with him for practice and one day he told me to audition and I got a part and it just took off from there," he said smiling.
"Let me guess though you kind of lost what you and Jett had but he still wants you?" Kendall asked.
"Exactly," Dak said, "besides I kind of like someone else now, but I blew my chances," he said.
"What do you mean you blew your chances?" Kendall asked confused.
"I tried asking him out but before I could someone else did," Dak said shrugging, "but hey there are more people out there one of them are bound to be the one for me," he said smiling weakly.
"Yeah," Kendall said nodding his head.
"You ever been in love?" Dak asked.
"Once," Kendall said, "I thought I was but when she said it I couldn't say it back and she dumped me," he said.
"Ouch," Dak said.
"It didn't hurt as much as I expected it to," Kendall said shrugging. The two continued to talk and get to know one another. Logan eventually made his way back over to the two. He joined them talking and laughing. James and Carlos joined them with drinks. Logan took a few and the three started to get tipsy. Kendall and Dak remained sober.
-Better Than I Know Myself-
Kendall hauled Carlos into the elevator and pressed the button for their floor. The party had turned out great. Kendall and Logan seemed to fool his friends and everyone at the party. Now all they had to do was tell people Kendall was pregnant. Kendall wasn't exactly looking forward to that just yet, but they had to. It was all a part of their big plan. Kendall knew it was the right thing to do. He would be helping Logan by doing this.
Dak had taken James and Logan home so Kendall only had to worry about Carlos. He didn't mind it. He was always helping Carlos when he got drunk and it was vice versa when he got drunk. Carlos usually helped him. The elevator doors slid open again and Kendall pulled Carlos from the Elevator and down the hall.
"Kenny what's the rush?" Carlos slurred.
"We need to get you into bed," Kendall said.
"I don't wanna go to bed," Carlos said. Kendall just rolled his eyes and pushed Carlos against the wall and fished his keys out of his pocket. He unlocked the door and pulled Carlos into the apartment.
"Come on," Kendall brought him to his bed room and helped him get changed for bed and laid him on his stomach. "Go to sleep," he said.
"Fine," Carlos pouted. Kendall laughed and left the room and headed to his own. He changed and got ready for bed as well. He sat down on his bed and his thoughts turned to Logan.
Logan was nothing but nice to him, but Kendall didn't know the real him yet. He would have to hold off his judgment until he really got to know the brunette. He was in for a long eight more months. Kendall wasn't sure what to expect now that he and Logan were fake dating. He didn't know if he would get noticed by people or not. He was dating a celebrity now. He was bound to get some fame, especially since he was having Logan's baby.
Kendall wasn't sure if he was ready for this just yet. A baby was a big responsibility. Kendall wasn't sure if he could do it. He wasn't sure if Logan could do it either. He really needed to just spend some time with Logan and get to know him. He didn't want to share custody if Logan couldn't even take care of the kid. Kendall didn't want to keep custody from Logan but he would if he needed to. He did not want his kid in danger.
Kendall looked down at his stomach with a small smile. He was only two months along and he already felt protective of the baby. He knew this was going to be a challenge but he was looking forward to it. He would be ready when the time came. Kendall just knew he would be.
-Better Than I Know Myself-
Dak sighed as he hauled James up to his apartment. He had already gotten Logan home to Sebastian and now had to get James to bed.
"Daky," James slurred.
"What James?" Dak asked looking at the other brunette. James smiled before talking.
"Has-has anyone ever told ya how hot you are?" James asked. Dak blushed and looked away from James. He knew it was the alcohol talking. James was with Carlos now and Dak had to accept that.
"Yes several people have," Dak said, "now come on where are your keys?" he asked.
"Don't ya have the one I gave ya?" James asked. Dak sighed and started digging on James' pocket for his keys. He found them in his front pocket. "Not tryin' to feel me up are ya?" James teased.
"James," Dak started.
"Cause all you had to do was ask," James slurred. He then crashed his lips onto Dak's. Dak gasped in shock. He pushed James off him and turned to the door. He started on opening the door when James hugged him from behind and started to grind against him. Dak shoved they key into the lock and finally opened the door. They both tumbled through the door ad fell to the floor. James kicked the door shut and climbed on top of Dak. "I know you want me," he said huskily.
"You're dating Carlos," Dak said not denying the fact that he wanted James, cause he did.
"We're not exclusive yet," James said as he pressed his lips to Dak's neck. A groan escaped Dak's lips. He wanted this so bad, but James was seeing Carlos and Dak didn't want to do anything to ruin that. He had seen how happy the two were together at the party. James' lips moved up to Dak's ear and Dak just seemed to forget everything.
