Only a few more chapters left of this story then I'm going to get right on my next one. Which I'm hoping everyone will enjoy. I'm going to try to make it more exciting than this one because I just feel like it really should be. I have decided to do a sequel for this story though so that will be happening right after my next story. I'm thinking about calling the next story Teachers Pet. Haven't decided yet but I'm pretty sure it's going to be that. Anyways, I hope you all like this chapter and please review! I love you all! Oh and all of you on the East coast keep safe ok? You're in my thoughts.
Carlos POV:
"I'm telling you James, Kendall would love to have a little doggy like Mocha!"
I pet the cute ball of fur that was sleeping in my arms and gave her a kiss on the head.
"Kendall isn't really a small dog kind of person Carlos. And besides we live with you so Mocha is practically our family dog."
I nodded, "But when Logie and I move out then you'll be dogless and Kendall will be sad because while you're out modeling he'll be all alone."
He was quiet and I looked up at him. He was wearing a hood but I could see how he hung his head a little low. I tilted my head in confusion and he looked at me. "What's wrong, James? Is there something you need to tell me? You look sad. If you don't want Logie and I to move out then we'll just stay with you! It's ok! It won't be a problem at all!"
He laughed, "It's not about that Carlos. I want you and Logan to have a house and kids and all of that stuff that you're always gushing about."
"Well then what is it?"
"I've just been thinking a lot…"
I yelled, "You're not gonna break up with Kendall are you?!" I woke Mocha up and she started barking. I quickly quieted her down by rocking her in my arms until she fell back asleep.
"I would never leave Kendall. You know that. It's actually about modeling."
"Did you get a job?"
He sighed, "No. I just decided that maybe I don't want to do that anymore."
My eyes grew wide when I heard what my best friend had just said. I was speechless. The thought of James giving up the dream he had been trying to make come true for years just left me completely awestruck.
"You don't want to model anymore? When did you decide this?"
"Well you know how I started my new job?" I nodded and he continued, "I just ended up really liking it and I think I would rather work with kids than show off my body. I feel like I'm making a difference. You know?"
I didn't really know how to respond but I nodded my head to just keep him happy until I could figure out what I wanted to say.
"Why don't you do both?"
He gave me a confused look and asked, "What? I would never see Kendall if I did both. That wouldn't be the right thing to do. I would be miserable not seeing him."
"Well what if you like did some photo shoots but also like opened up your own daycare or something? That way you wouldn't have to be with the kids all the time because you would have a staff that took care of them too. And you could take days off from the daycare to live your dream."
I could tell he was going to tell me that it was a stupid idea by the look on his face. He would probably just roll his eyes at me and then tell me that I had such a big imagination just like everybody told me.
"You know, that's not a bad idea Los."
"You don't have to shoot me down every time I have an idea you know! I can be- wait, what?"
He looked at me, "That's really a good idea. I'm actually going to highly consider that."
I smiled, "Oh, well thank you!"
He put his hand on my head and ruffled my hair before we walked into the dog groomers. It was time for Mocha to get her grooming done and I always hated walking places alone so James offered to go with me. Once I signed her in and they took her in the back room James and I went outside.
"So about that dog for Kendall…"
"No Carlos. If Kendall wants a dog then he'll ask for one. I'm not just going to show up at the apartment with a dog. Even though some people think that's ok."
I glanced up at him and he was giving me a 'you're lucky that your boyfriend loves you so much' look.
"Have you decided what you're doing for your anniversary dinner?"
"Well I know Logan likes when I cook for him but I'm not really sure if I should do that. I mean that's not really special is it?"
James shrugged, "I don't know. I think that's something Logan would really enjoy. You could set up a candlelight dinner and make him desert. Then he can eat the desert off of you."
He winked at me and I pushed him. "Stop, James." I blushed though, thinking about my Logie licking whipped cream and chocolate syrup off of me made me get kind of hard.
He chuckled, "Dude, come on! Stop imagining it! I don't want to see that!"
I blushed again realizing that my 'kind of hard' erection was actually extremely hard. I needed Logan more than I thought I did. We hadn't had sex in a while and it was sort of getting to me. I wanted his mouth to be around my cock so bad. I let out a small moan and James hit me.
"We're in public! Settle down! You can have sex later."
"Can we go eat then? I need to get my mind off of him. He makes me so horny."
James shook his head at me and we walked to the nearest burger place in town.
When we sat down he sighed and I could tell something was bothering him. "What's wrong buddy?"
"Dustin is coming today." He sounded quite bitter about the whole thing and honestly I was a little weirded out by the fact that he was going to stay in our apartment. He and I kind of had a history back in high school and we were kind of awkward around each other. I hadn't seen him in a few years and now that he was coming to stay with us I was a little nervous. Not because I had to impress him but because nobody but James ever knew about it. It was kind of our little secret. We dated for three years and when he broke up with me I still had strong feelings for him.
"It'll be ok James. I mean it's not like you'll have to hang out with him all the time or anything. Kendall's got that covered."
"I know but I have a feeling Kendall is going to offer him to sleep in our room since we have that other bed. Which means no sex for James! And it's going to be weird for you. I mean you guys were like engaged. Now you're engaged to Logan and it's just odd."
I nodded, "Yea I know. I'm sure everything will be fine though. Neither of us still has feelings for each other."
He chuckled, "Yea but Logan and him don't get along. They're at each other's throats. I mean Logan doesn't even know that you guys dated and he still doesn't like him. He never has and I don't think he ever will. Which sucks for Kendall because they're both going to have to be together until the wedding is all set up. They'll have to suck it up until everything is taken care of because if they frustrate Kendall I'm going to raise hell."
"I give you permission to. Just don't hurt my Logie. He's fragile you know."
He laughed and patted me on the back. "I know Los. I know."
It felt good to be with James. We hadn't hung out in a while and it was nice to finally be able to have some best friend time. I was thoroughly enjoying our day together and the only thing that could make it better was some welcome home sex from my darling boyfriend. That is if Dustin wasn't already at the apartment raising his own hell.
Kendall POV:
I was rushing around the apartment trying to get everything cleaned up for Dustin's arrival. I had already vacuumed, dusted, washed bed stuff, and packed the fridge with food. If he was the same way that he was the last time we had seen each other then I would probably have to go back to the store in two days anyways. I wanted to make sure he felt at home because I truly did miss my old friend. He was supposed to be arriving around 1:45pm. I looked up at the clock hanging on the wall and saw that it was 1:19. Only a little longer before he would be here. I went to my room and was changing out of my pajamas when I heard the door being opened. I rushed out of the room and saw that it was Logan. I frowned and plopped down onto the couch.
"Well it's nice to see you too."
I sighed, "Sorry Logie. It's just that Dustin is coming today and I'm really excited to see him again. It's been a long time you know?"
Logan let out a groan and threw his coat on the chair next to him.
"Hey, I just cleaned in here. Hang that shit up." He groaned once more and grabbed his coat to hang it up in the closet by the door. "And please try to be civil to him. I know you don't like him but please try." He crossed his arms. "Please Logie, for me?"
He sighed, "Fine. But he has to be civil to me too. I'm not going to be the only nice person here."
I got up and wrapped my arms around my best friend. "Thank Logan. I knew I could count on you. I always can."
He smiled and rolled his eyes, "Yea, yea. Just don't make me change my mind. So when is our guest of honor going to arrive?"
I glanced up at the clock again and it was 1:37. "Any minute actually! You got here just in time for his arrival!"
Logan walked into the kitchen and pointed to the oven. "Is this thing on? Did Carlos leave it on again? I've told him multiple times to make sure to turn it off when he's done using it."
He shook his head and I said, "Actually I'm using it."
His eyes got big and he opened the oven in a panic. "Oh thank god." He let out a deep breath and I put my hands on my hips and glared at him.
"You really think I can't bake cookies Logan? Seriously?"
He stuttered, "I-it's not that. I umm…you just tend to burn things when you cook."
"I only did that two times, ok?!"
"You almost burned down my house once and the other time you almost burnt my arm to a crisp because you were running around with a cake that was on fire!"
I looked down at my feet and quietly said, "Well practice makes perfect. Not everybody has the ability to cook right away. I just needed to have a few times to get it right."
He sighed, "I know. I'm sorry. I just don't want to come home one day to a bunch of fire trucks and ambulances outside of our apartment because you decided to cook something. It scares me. I don't want you or anyone else getting hurt."
"I'm not that bad."
"You can be."
He closed the oven door and walked over to the couch. He kicked off his shoes and I rolled my eyes. I picked them up and placed them on the door mat where the shoes were supposed to go. I sauntered back over to where my friend was sitting and I sat down next to him.
"So are you and Carlos like going to ever get married?"
"Kendall. That was rude."
I shrugged, "It was just a question. I mean I know you want to and I don't think that you guys should wait any longer. You're obviously in love with each other and there really isn't any reason to wait."
He sighed, "I know. I just don't know what's going on in that head of his. You know? James proposed to you already and you guys didn't even know you loved each other before you left on your vacation. What do I have to do to get him to realize how much I want to be with him for the rest of my life?"
I put my arm around him and he laid his head on my shoulder. "I think he knows that you want to Logan. And I think that he wants to be with you too. Maybe he's just nervous because he doesn't feel like you're both ready or something. He knows that you like to take things slow in relationships and he always feels like he's moving too fast. I'm sure that he'll come around eventually."
He nodded and gave me a quick hug. "So now that James and you are engaged do you feel different?"
"Different? Like what kind of different?"
"I mean like is sex different? Are you guys like more all lovey dovey during sex or what?"
I shook my head, "Nothing's really different. After sex he holds me closer and he'll like talk to me after he thinks I've fallen asleep. He says the sweetest things." I smiled a goofy smile and Logan laughed.
"What does he say?"
"He says stuff like that he can't wait to start our life together and that he wants to have kids. He talks about how cute they'll be and how we're going to take them to school on their first day and stuff like that. It's really cute. And sometimes he sings to me too. His voice is just…wow."
He turned to me and got a bit closer. I could tell he was about to hound me with questions so I prepared myself.
"Really? I didn't know he could sing! Is he any good? Does he like sing his own songs or are they ones that just make him think of you? Tell me details!"
I laughed, "Ok. Umm…he's actually really good. I was shocked the first time I heard him sing. It took all of my will power not to just open my eyes and watch him. He sounded really happy. He's so cute." I let out a happy sigh.
"Go on, tell me more!"
"He sometimes sings songs that I don't know but they just might be songs that I've never heard before. He sings like Radiohead and stuff like that to me and it's amazing. He sang I Wanna Hold Your Hand to me the other night. I wanted to kiss him but I didn't want him to stop doing that after I was sleeping so I just made myself stay calm. I've been thinking about asking him to sing to me but I don't want him to get all freaked out. I mean obviously if he never told anyone that he can sing then he isn't comfortable with it, right?"
Logan shrugged and I heard a knock at the door. I jumped up and yelled, "It's Dustin!"
I ran over to the door and opened it quickly.
"Kendall!"
"Dustin!"
I launched my body at him and gave him a big hug. He dropped his luggage when I ran into him and he hugged me back.
I let go of him and grabbed his luggage.
"Well come on inside! I missed you man! What have you been up to?"
"Oh you know, just the normal stuff. Work and all of that."
"How do you like L.A.?"
He smiled, "Dude it's amazing! You would absolutely love it there! I sure do miss having you around though. It's not the same not being right down the street from you."
"I know what you mean. I'm one hipster short now. I don't know what to do with myself."
He laughed, "Well you have James to keep you busy now. I'm sure he's been keeping you pretty much booked up huh?"
I blushed, "You make it seem like we're addicted to sex or something. Which is definitely not the case."
"Oh, I'm sure."
We both laughed and I heard the door open. Carlos and James were laughing when they walked in and when they saw Dustin they become oddly serious.
Dustin waved at both of them and James waved back.
Carlos stuttered, "Umm…H-hi Dustin."
"Hey Los. Nice to see you again."
"Yea. Uh, you too."
The awkwardness between those two was really odd but before I could say anything James' lips were on mine.
He leaned down and whispered in my ear, "Hey Babe. I missed you today."
I blushed, "I missed you too."
He kissed me once more and I heard Dustin clear his throat.
"Are you sure you're not addicted to sex? Or at least PDA?"
We laughed and I said, "Oh no. Trust me. The only ones addicted to sex in this place are Carlos and Logan. They can go at it for hours on end."
Carlos blushed a deep red and Logan shook his head. "Kendall that is not something we should be discussing."
"Lighten up Logie. Dustin isn't here to judge. We're just all friends hanging out. Right?"
Dustin high fived me, "Right man. I'm gonna go wash up if that's alright with you. I had a very long flight and I feel the need to take an ice hot shower."
"No problem. The bathroom is right down that hallway."
"Thanks."
I smiled at him and he grabbed his bag and made his way to the bathroom. I turned to James and held his hands in mine. "Thank you for letting him stay. It means a lot to me." I kissed his cheek and he smiled.
"Anything for you my love."
I hugged him and then realized something.
"Shit Logan! I forgot about the cookies!"
I ran into the kitchen and took out the now black chocolate chip cookies that I spent an hour making. I slapped my hand on my forehead and looked at James.
He laughed, "Really? Even after the last time?"
"It wasn't that bad!"
"Let me help you. We can make some together. Alright?"
I nodded, "Thank again love."
"Like I said, anything for you."
So that's chapter 21 for you! Dustin is now in Minnesota! Yay! Lol. We'll see how that goes. I hope you all liked this chapter! Don't forget to review and all of that good stuff! I love you all! Thank you for reading this!
