~Chapter Ten~

~Jade's POV~

After dinner Kendall and I found ourselves all alone. Kevin and Kenneth went to go see some friends and Kathy and Kent took Gracie out for ice cream and to play at the park. It was like they wanted us to be alone. I wasn't sure how I felt about that.

"Are they trying to tell us something?"

"I don't know, maybe." He shrugged.

"You're a lot of help." I hit him with a pillow.

"Come here." He grabbed my hand and pulled me into his lap.

"Now what?"

"I don't know."

I laughed and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Do you think Logan and Allie will be okay?"

"Yeah, I think they will be fine. No matter what happens."

"I agree. What did you think?"

"I didn't look at it."

"Why not?"

"He was nervous to show me, plus I know whatever he bought she's gonna love."

"How's she doing?"

"Not much better then Logan. She's cool and clam on the outside, but on the inside she's freaking out."

"That seems like her. So why do you think she's mad at you?"

"I think she's mad about all the time Logan's been spending with me combined with all the stress."

"She knows you don't harbor any feeling for him, right?"

"Not romantic ones, no." I looked at him. "I do see him as the annoying, but super sweet little brother I always wanted."

"You have Shane for that."

"But he doesn't let me coddle him, Logan does."

"Okay, forget I asked." He laughed. "So."

"So."

"We've never had a problem finding things to talk about, why are we now?"

"I don't know." I shrugged. "What do you want to talk about?"

"What are you really gonna do with us gone?"

"I told you Ted has some work for me to do."

"Is that all?"

"Well I'll miss you guys like crazy."

"I'm sure everyone will miss you too."

"What about you?"

"I'll miss you like crazy. Gracie too."

"She asked me this morning, if she could still go on tour with you guys even though I wasn't going."

"She asked us that same thing."

"I'd be more than happy to send her along, if you guys wanted." He looked at me wide eyed. "I wonder how long you'd last?"

"I'd, uh, have to talk to the others first."

"I guess if you're not up for it, I understand."

"That's just mean." He laughed.

"What are you gonna do about it?"

He just grinned at me and pulled my head down so he could kiss me. I tightened my hold on him and moved closer to him. He dropped his hands from my face to my hips, where he moved me to where I was straddling him.

I pulled away breathless, and watched as he licked his lips. I bit my lip before I kissed him again. As the kiss became more intense, Kendall's hands moved from my hips to up under my shirt.

I pulled out of the kiss and sat up. I grabbed the hem of my shirt and pulled over my head, I dropped it to the floor next to the couch. And then I laid back pulling Kendall down on top of me.

"Hi." He whispered.

"Shut up and kiss me again." I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled his head down to mine so I could kiss him.

He pulled out of the kiss and looked down at me smiling.

"I know I should stop this, but damn it, I want it to much to stop now." He moved his lips from mine to the one spot on my neck that turns me to goo. "Do you have any idea what you do to me?"

I didn't say anything I just pulled his head up so I could kiss him again. I pushed him away, making him sit up, I lifted his shirt over his head. He took it from me and dropped it on top of mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him back down on top of me.

~Kendall's POV~

I had no idea what had gotten into Jade, but I wasn't complaining at all. I had really missed this side if her.

Even though I knew I should stop, I couldn't. I wanted this to much. I wanted her to much. I had a hard time walking away from her last night. I wasn't stopping now.

I pulled out of the kiss and looked down at her. Her eyes were shining and her lips were swollen. She had never looked so beautiful.

"I love you. You look so beautiful."

She ran her fingers through my hair.

"I love you so much." She whispered.

She pulled my head down to hers and kissed me hard. I ran my hands down her sides until I got to her hips

I cupped her backside, making her arc up into me. I groaned into the kiss and ground my hips into hers.

"Going at it like teenagers again, I see." Kevin laughed from the door way.

Hearing Kevin's voice scared Jade, making her kick me in the groin and knock me off of her. Kevin laughed. I glared up at him.

"Jade, as much as I am enjoying the view, I'm pretty sure my brother doesn't want to share."

Jade glared at him and covered herself with the blanket on the back of the couch.

"So what are you doing back?" I stood up and sat on the couch next to Jade.

"I forgot my phone." He was grinning at me.

"Well get your phone and go away." Jade growled at him.

"Yes Ma'am." He winked at Jade and walked out of the room.

"I'm sorry about that." I handed her shirt.

She pulled her shirt over her head and ran her fingers through her hair.

"That should have never happened, we got carried away."

"Oh Hell no." I kneeled her in front of her. "You're not pushing me away. We've come too far to back track now. Don't close yourself off again."

"Okay."

"I mean it Jade, I love you and I want this to work." I cupped her face. "Maybe we did go a little to far, but it felt right, didn't it?"

"Yes, but."

"No, buts nothing that happened here was wrong. Yeah maybe we shouldn't have gotten so lost in the passion in the living room, but it was never wrong."

"It's just too soon." She whispered.

"Then we'll put the brakes on, I don't want to lose this between us."

"Thank you. I'm sorry that I let it get so carried away."

"Don't apologize for that."

"Maybe we should leave Gracie here tonight, and you come back to my place."

"For real?"

"I'd never lie about that."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes." She kissed my palm. "I want you to move back in with us."

"Is it too soon?"

"No."

"Really? I mean have you thought this through all the way yet?"

"There is nothing to think about, I want this."

Before I could say anything Mom and Dad walked back into the living room carrying Gracie, who was sleeping on Dad's shoulder.

"Everything okay?" Mom looked between us.

"Yeah, everything is fine. Why don't you take Gracie up to Kendall's room and lay her down."

"Okay." Dad nodded and turned to take Gracie up the stairs.

"So what did you two do while we were gone?"

"We talked." I stood up and sat next to Jade on the couch. "How was Gracie?"

"An angel, like always." Mom smiled at us. That smile told me she knew what we had been doing. "Why don't you guy go out, have fun. We'll watch Gracie, you can pick her up in the morning."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course Dear, you two look like you weren't quiet done talking yet."

"Thank you."

"No problem." She smiled at us and walked out of the room.

"I don't have to go if you don't want me to."

"No I think it will be good for us." Jade smiled at me.

"Where do you want to go?"

"Home is fine."

"Okay, home it is."

I kissed the side of her head.

"Let's go pack you an overnight bag."

I stood up and pulled her off the couch. She laughed and followed me upstairs.

An hour later we were pulling into the drive way of our house. Walking into the kitchen, we found everyone was sitting at the counter talking.

"Wow did someone decide to have a party and no invite us?" Jade crossed her arms over her chest and glared at them.

"What are you doing here?" Cassie looked at her sister.

"I live here, or did you forget that little fact."

Cassie just rolled her eyes.

"So what are you guys doing?"

"Nothing and if we were, it isn't any of your business."

"Can the attitude Cassie. You may be 18 now, but that doesn't mean you can treat me like shit." Jade shook her head. "Whatever you're doing, go do it somewhere else."

"What the hell is your problem?"

"Nothing." Jade took my bag from me and headed up stairs without another word.

"What was that?" Carlos asked.

"I have no idea, she was fine in the car."

"Maybe I should go talk to her." I looked at Carlos and nodded.

"So what were you guys doing?"

"A surprise party." Allie said.

"For?"

"Jade. We didn't get to have one for her birthday, so we figured that we would throw her one." Logan shrugged.

"Well you should have told me and I would have kept her away."

"It was kinda for you too." James said.

"Oh, sorry to ruin the surprise."

"Just don't tell Jade and we'll be good." Logan laughed.

"So what happened?"

"I really don't know, she was in a good mood when we left my parents hours." I shrugged. "She'll be fine, don't worry."

"Well we'll get out of you guy's hair." Cassie picked up the papers on the counter. "Just don't hurt my sister again."

"I won't."

She nodded and went back to cleaning up her papers.

"You guys have a good night, I'm gonna go check on them."

I walked out of the kitchen. As I got to the stairs, Carlos was coming down.

"Everything okay?"

"She's just tired, or that's what she tried to tell me." He rolled his eyes. "But she'll be okay."

"Thanks Carlos."

"No problem." He slapped me on the back and went back into the kitchen.

I walked upstairs and into our room. I hadn't been in here since I packed my stuff and moved out. It was weird seeing it so empty.

Jade was sitting on the end of the bed staring at the wall, the wall that used to be home to our wedding picture. I sat next to her on the bed and took her hand into mine.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm okay." She stood up. "I have something for you."

She walked over to her dresser and opened her jewelry box. She pulled something out of it and walked back over to me.

"Hold your hand out."

I held out my hand and she dropped two rings into my palm. They were our wedding rings. I took her hand and slipped her wedding band back on and then I handed her mine. She took my hand and slid my ring back on where it belonged.

"Forever and always." She whispered.

"Forever and always."
