~Chapter Eight~

~Jade's POV~

As I waiting for Kendall to show up, I was a nervous wreck. I have never in my whole dating life ever been this nervous. It was horrible, and I had a feeling anyone I talked to about it would just laugh at me.

Don't get me wrong I love my friends, it's just sometimes they can be huge assholes.

"Jade, are you okay?" I turned so fast that I fell on the kitchen floor. "I didn't mean to scare you. I knocked a few times, but you didn't answer, so I let myself in."

"It's okay."

Kendall laughed and set the grocery bags on the counter and then held a hand out to help me up. He pulled me up and right into his chest. We locked eyes and just stared at each other. He started to bend his head down to kiss me when my phone went off, making me jump back from him, but I also found myself on my ass on the kitchen floor again.

"Will you answer my phone for me?"

Kendall just laughed and picked up my phone from the counter.

"Jade's phone, Kendall speaking how may I help you?"

I just glared at him.

"OH you want to talk to Jade?" He nodded his head to whatever the person on the other line said. "Sure, here she is."

He handed me the phone I took it from him and held it to my ear.

"Hello?"

"Why is Kendall answering your phone?" Cassie's voice floated through the phone.

"Because I'm on the floor."

"Why are you on the floor?"

"Because I fell."

"How did you fall?"

"Kendall scared me."

"Why is he there?"

"He's cooking me and Gracie dinner."

"I see."

"Did you call for a reason?"

"I just wanted to apologize for how I acted at lunch. I have no right to question you like that."

"What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything."

"Then why are you sucking up to me?"

"I'm not, really."

"I don't believe you; just tell me what you want." I rolled my eyes and looked at Kendall, who was sitting at the counter waiting for me to get off the phone. "Just tell me Cassie."

"Fine, James is gonna take me out for a late dinner after practice."

"That's fine. Just remember you have an early call."

"Really, just like that?"

"You're 18 now. I really can't stop you. Yeah, I wish you'd come right home, but I can't stop you if you don't want to."

"Wow, thanks Jade."

"Just don't do anything stupid."

"Meaning what?"

"You know what I mean."

"Whatever Jade, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Don't forget I'll be there around noon to finalize stuff for the tour with Allie."

"I know."

"Okay, have fun and don't do anything that I would."

"I could say the same thing for you, Sissy."

"Touché."

"Be good."

"You too." She hung up on me.

I locked my phone and looked up at Kendall, who was just grinning at me.

"Are you going to help me up?"

He stood up and held his hand out to me. But instead of him pulling me up, I pulled him on onto the floor.

"What the hell did you do that for?"

"For laughing at me." I pushed him over.

He grabbed my hand and pulled me into his lap.

"What are you gonna do now?"

"This." I put my hand on either side of his head and kissed him hard.

He pulled away from me and looked at me shocked.

"What was that?"

"I don't know."

"I love you." He tucked a loose piece of hair behind my ear.

"Love you too." I kissed the tip of his nose.

"What's going on here?"

I turned to see Logan standing there. He was raising an eyebrow at us.

"We are just talking."

"I can see that."

"Right, did you need something?"

"Yeah I left my phone here, have you seen it?"

"No, check the couch though."

"Okay." He shook his head and walked from the room.

I stood up and held I hand out for Kendall. I pulled him up, and dropped his hand.

"Go, I'll start dinner."

I nodded and walked from the room. Logan was sitting in the couch holding his
phone.

"You okay?" I sat next to him.

"Yeah, I'm good."

"I do know when you're lying to me, but I can also tell you don't want to talk about it."

"Everything's okay, I promise."

"You and Allie didn't have a fight did you?"

"No, but I have to run. I'm taking Allie dinner."

"Sounds good. Keep James from distracting my sister to much."

"Will do. See ya later Momma Bear."

We both stood up and I hugged him.

"When you're ready to talk, I will be here."

"Thank you, Momma Bear." He pulled out of the hug. "I will leave you guys to it."

"Love you Logie Bear."

"Love you to Momma Bear."

"Go." I pushed him towards the door.

"I know when I'm not wanted." He laughed and walked out the door, shutting it behind him.

I shook my head and headed back into the kitchen.

"Everything okay?"

"Yeah." I smiled at him.

"So what are you making?"

"Chicken for us and chicken fingers for Gracie."

"Sounds good." I slid onto the bar stool and leaned on the counter. "So I hear this tour is gonna be pretty epic."

He raised an eyebrow at me.

"James's words, not mine."

"I see." He laughed. "Yeah, I guess it's supposed to be."

"So who's this chick that's opening for you guys?"

"I really don't know. I didn't go to that meeting?"

"Why?"

He just shrugged.

"Kendall, you have to get over this thing with Allen. It wasn't his fault."

"I just can't help but hate the man."

"I'm really close to the other guys, and you're not jealous of them."

"With them, I know they won't try anything. I don't know anything about Allen."

"Then get to know him."

"I don't want to."

"Why not? You know he doesn't hold a candle to you." I rolled my eyes. "Anyways, he plays for your team, not mine."

"What?"

"I'm shocked no one told you."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I may actually wanted you to trust me."

"We could have avoided this whole thing, if you would have just told me."

"Or we could have avoided the whole thing if you would have just trusted that I would have never cheated on you."

"I guess we'll never know now."

"Guess not."

"I don't want to fight. That's the past and it needs to stay there."

"Agreed." I nodded.

~Kendall's POV~

After dinner, we all snuggled down on the couch to watch a movie that Gracie picked out. If anyone would ask what we watched, I wouldn't be able to tell them.

All I could think was how right Jade was. If I had just trusted in her, then we wouldn't be here right now. I was stupid to think she'd cheat on me, not after what her first husband dis to her.

"Kendall are you in there?" Jade snapped her fingers in my face.

"Sorry, what's up?"

"Will you carry Gracie, up to bed?"

"Yeah, sure."

We moved Gracie so her head was lying on my shoulder. I carefully stood up.

Jade walked behind me as I carried Gracie up stairs. I laid Gracie on the bed as carefully as I could not to wake her up. I kissed her forehead, before I stepped away so Jade could say good night.

I walked out into the hall and leaned against the wall. My eyes drifted down the hall to what was once our room.

"You okay?" Jade walked out of Gracie's room, softly shutting the door behind her.

"Yeah, I should go."

"You don't have too."

"I know." I ran my fingers through my hair. "But I should."

"Okay."

"I wish I could stay, but it's not a good idea."

"I know." She sighed. "I know it's not, but I don't have to like it."

"Me either."

She took my hand in hers and led me down stairs. At the bottom of the stairs, I wrapped my arms around her and held her close.

She pulled away and ran her fingers through her hair.

"If you're gonna go, you should go."

"Okay. I'll call you tomorrow."

"Okay. Goodbye kiss?"

"You've never asked before."

She just shrugged and looked down at the floor. I stepped towards her and cupped her cheek. I tiled her chin up so I could look in her eyes.

"I love you." I bent my head and kissed her softly. "Goodnight Love."

"Goodnight." She looked up at me with hooded eyes. "You should go before I drag you up stairs."

"Until tomorrow." I kissed her forehead and stepped away from her.

Walking away from her to bed one of the hardest things I had to do. No matter how much I wanted to be with her right now, I couldn't sleep with her again until we were a 100%.
