Chapter Eight – Any Kind of Guy

Cali's POV

I had just gotten home from a horrible day at school. I'd been so stressed about the fight I had with Kendall. When I stepped into the door, I looked up and saw the last person I ever expected to see. "Kendall?" I was stunned.

"Hey Cali." He seemed really upset.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him.

He took a few steps closer to me. "You won't return my calls and I can't stand you being mad at me anymore." He held his hand out to me. "Take a walk with me?"

I sighed and thought about whether I should go with him. I was still pretty upset with him. "Fine, but only a little one."

He chuckled a little as I grabbed his hand and he led me out the door. We walked down my street in silence for a couple of minutes, hand-in-hand, before he finally spoke up. "Please talk to me."

I stopped and looked at him for a minute. "I just can't believe you would do this to me."

"Cali I never, ever wanted this to happen." He pleaded to me.

I looked down. "But it did. I still care about you a lot but I don't know if I can trust you."

He quickly lifted up my chin with his hand and crashed his lips onto mine. I froze in shock for a little bit but I finally kissed him back. When he pulled away from me, he set his forehead on mine. "I love you Cali. I never want to lose you."

I opened my eyes and looked into his bright sea green ones. "Really?"

He smiled that beautiful smile. "Yeah."

I smiled a big smile. "I love you too." I said just before I pulled his lips in for another sweet kiss.

When we reluctantly pulled away from each other he started to tug at my arm toward my house. "Come on. I wrote you a song and I want to sing it for you." He explained excitedly.

We walked back to my house, talking and laughing. When we got into the living room, he pulled out his guitar that he brought with him and started to play. Once I heard his beautiful voice in the melody of the song he wrote for me I was hooked.

Here I am
There you are
Why does it seem so far
Next to you is where I should be
Something I
Want so bad
Know what's inside your head
Maybe I could see what you see

Gotta keep on believing
That everything takes time
I'll make up any reason
To make you mine
If you're staying or leaving
I'll follow your lead
So why keep pretending
Open your eyes
I can be what you need

Any kind of guy you want, girl
That's the guy I'll be
Turn myself upside down (yes I will, yes I will)
Any kind of guy you want, girl
You know I'll agree
Turn your whole world around (yes I will, yes I will)

Any kind, any kind
Any kind of guy you want
You decide
Change your mind
I will be there
Won't you try
One more try
Be my any kind of girl
You decide
It's alright
I will be there

You seem so hard to know
Say goodbye, say hello
Then you say that it's time to go
Changing my point of view
Everyday something new
Anything to get next to you

Gotta keep on believing
That everything takes time
I'll make up any reason
To make you mine
If you're staying or leaving
I'll follow your lead
So why keep pretending
Open your eyes
I can be what you need

Any kind of guy you want, girl
That's the guy I'll be
Turn myself upside down (yes I will, yes I will)
Any kind of guy you want, girl
You know I'll agree
Turn your whole world around (yes I will, yes I will)

Any kind, any kind
Any kind of guy you want
You decide
Change your mind
I will be there
Won't you try
One more try
Be my any kind of girl
You decide
It's alright
I will be there

Let me know if I'm getting through
Making you understand
If it's wrong I'll try something new
Don't look away
Cause I'm here to stay
If it's a game
Then I'm gonna play

Any kind of guy you want, girl
That's the guy I'll be
Turn myself upside down (yes I will, yes I will)
Any kind of guy you want, girl
You know I'll agree
Turn your whole world around (yes I will, yes I will)

Any kind, any kind
Any kind of guy you want
You decide
Change your mind
I will be there
Won't you try
One more try
Be my any kind of girl
You decide
It's alright
I will be there

Kendall's POV

I looked up and smiled at her when I finished. She jumped up and hugged me. "I love it!"

"I'm glad you do." I kissed her on the cheek.

She grabbed my hands and pulled me up off the couch. "How long are you staying?"

"I have to leave in a couple of days."

"Oh." She looked down, obviously sad.

I lifted up her head and looked into her ocean blue eyes. "I love you."

"I love you too." I pulled her into a sweet, passionate kiss.
