A/N:Hey there! I'm soo soo soo soo (I could go on if I wanted to but ugh) sorry that I've not posted in awhile because of the busy schedule I have, but trust me, when I make a promise, I keep to it. I hope you haven't gone astray! Enjoy. :D
DISCLAIMER: I wish I could own Big Time Rush, but right now I'm getting there (in my dreams).
Chapter 4:
With the interview done, Elizabeth stood up, shaking hands with the hosts and the director one last time before making her way home for the evening.
As she shook hands with her new found favorite presenter, Holly, she couldn't help but smile, "Thank you once again for letting me on your show."
"Hey! It's all right! After all, you are the one who make these things happen. The whole world thanks you for it," Holly winked at the young scientist, "I'm rooting for you. Don't stop dreaming and making it happen."
"Thank you."
"No problem! Oh, and by the way," Holly edged closer so that her colleague and the other members of the show wouldn't be able to hear them, "I think Kendall really suits you. Both of your personalities do match, and I've got to say, I think he fell head over heels for you."
Elizabeth gave out a sarcastic remark, "Oh. Really? I don't think this is the first I've heard of it."
"Really? How did you know?" the presenter cocked an eyebrow.
"Well, everyone seems to notice it except for me, so it's pretty normal for these comments to come to me," Elizabeth showed her white teeth through a smile, "So this is it, I guess. I hope to see you soon."
"I hope to see you soon. The next time we'll meet will probably be for a Nobel prize."
Elizabeth took a few steps back, before turning around and giving a 'presidential wave', all the while saying, and "Like that would ever happen."
Elizabeth was busy chopping some vegetables that would be used in preparation for dinner later that evening, her heart pumping loudly against her chest as the clock ticks. She just couldn't hold in her anxiety for tonight.
Her head swerved to the sound of the door opening, but she let out a small sigh when Evangeline entered the kitchen, "hey, were you thinking of Kendall when I walked through the door?"
Hiding back her feelings, she looked back at the chopping board, "No, I'm not."
"Yes you are."
Before the both of them could start arguing, the doorbell rang, and Evangeline looked back at her stricken friend, "Oh look who's here."
A small "Oh dear," escaped Elizabeth's lips as Evangeline head out to let the band members in. Elizabeth shrieked when she thought she saw a head pop out from around the corner. She slapped the table cloth against the edge of the table, "KENDALL!"
Kendall came in, mesmerizing the view of the house while carrying a bag of groceries. He made his way and placed them on the island, "Look. Sorry for scaring you, but I thought I would make a bit of a surprise."
"Yeah, like the doorbell isn't much of a giveaway," the young vet rolled her eyes, before focusing back on the whole idea of the night, "So, what did you buy there?"
"Oh you know, ingredients," Kendall began unloading the ingredients as the other boys entered the room. Elizabeth tried to ignore the awkward glances passed between Evangeline and Logan, and set about getting into business, as Kendall continued what he wanted to say, "We know you're going to be doing the appetizers and the main course, so let us do the desserts, all right?"
"Okay."
"So," Elizabeth thought she heard hands rubbing against each other as Kendall moved closer to her. She could feel her heart thumping against her chest; as if it could explode the sooner he touched her, "Where can I get the pots and pans to start warming up the milk?"
Elizabeth composed herself before rotating her body to show Kendall where to get the kitchen utensils. Smiling gleefully and mouthing a single word of 'Thanks', he divided the task with his friends and together they set about getting it done.
Completely engrossed in her cooking, Elizabeth started humming the tune to 'Nothing Even Matters' but stopped immediately when eyebrows cocked in her direction. Logan was the first one to speak, "So you do remember the songs we produced five years ago."
"No I do not," she let out a straight face as she cursed to herself, "I'm pretty sure after that incident, I've wanted to erase everything about the four of you from my brain. Turns out its way too hard."
Kendall let out a long sigh as he placed the wooden spatula on top of the pan, and resting his hands on her shoulders. They could feel and smell the sweet scents of each other's breaths, "I'm sorry for everything that has happened to you. Will you forgive us?"
She has had dodged the question a couple of times, but then felt guilty every single time. Decided not to dodge it any further, she let out a little sigh, "Like what other people did to me, I forgive you. But that doesn't mean I'll forget."
She added in a softer tune, "The next time this thing happens again, there wouldn't be a second chance, okay Kendall?"
A soft smile appeared on the leader's face, as he nodded and pulled Elizabeth closer to himself, "Yes ma'am."
The sounds of 'Ooh's broke out as the other boys pumped fists in the air and began slapping each other playfully, seeing at their best friend and leader hanging out with a vet whom they were responsible for five years ago. It's as if it didn't happen in the first place.
"All right boys," much to Kendall's disappointment as well as Elizabeth's, he broke off the embrace first, "Let's get this done, and then we could sit down and talk."
"Yes Mr. Schmidt!" and with that, the gang was hustling and bustling in the kitchen, it's a good thing the neighbors did not call the cops.
