Well here is the next one. Enjoy and let me know what you think.
~Chapter Thirty-Two~
~Kendall's POV~
When I woke up the next morning, we had reached the next venue. Logan had gotten off the bus without waking me up. I picked up my phone hoping to have a good morning messages from Jade, but all I had were a few emails. I looked at them and felt my stomach drop, really not what I needed right now. Sighing I rolled off my bunk and headed towards the front of the bus.
Gracie was sitting on the couch scratching Fluffy Marshmallows belly. I had to do a double to take to make sure they were there.
"Hi Daddy."
"What are you doing here Baby?"
"Making sure no one wakes you up."
"Why?"
"Because Mommy told me too."
"And where is Mommy?"
"Inside yelling at people for being incompetent boobs."
"Why?"
"I don't know, why does Mommy do anything she does?"
"Good point." I scratched my head. "When did you guys get here?"
"I'm not sure, I was asleep." I shrugged.
"How did you get here?"
"Same way you did, bus."
"Maybe we should go find Mommy."
"Okay." She stood up and put Fluffy Marshmallow's leash on her.
I took her hand and we climbed off the bus.
It didn't take us long to find Jade, she was yelling at some poor dude.
"Mommy, that wasn't nice." Gracie said as soon as the poor guy ran off. "What did he do anyways?"
"He said some things that weren't very nice that Mommy didn't like."
"Oh, well I'm gonna go find Logie, okay."
"Have fun and remember stay off the stage, Little Lady."
"Yes Mommy."
She ran off, with Fluffy Marshmallow right behind her.
"How did you sleep?" Jade stepped closer to me.
"Okay, so why didn't you tell me?"
"Tell you what?"
"That you were coming on tour with us? I mean after all the times I begged you too."
"I don't know." She bit her lip and looked down. "I wanted to surprise you."
"Well that you did." I shook my head and stepped away from her. "I would have been happier if you had just told me you were coming."
She just swallowed hard and nodded her head.
I pulled her into my arms and hugged her.
"Don't cry."
"I'm just pissed at myself, I should have told you, but when I said I would come, we weren't even back together." She pulled away from me and wiped her eyes. "And then when we did get back together, I didn't know where we were going and didn't want to ruin what we had. And then everything was going so well, and I don't know. I was being stupid."
"Just because I understand where you're coming from, doesn't mean I'm not upset you didn't tell me."
"I know." She took my hand in hers. She just looked at the ground, while playing with my fingers.
"Walk me to breakfast?"
She just nodded and laced our fingers together. I pulled her to me and lifted her chin with my free hand. When I could see her eyes, I kissed her softly.
"I love you."
"Love you too." She let a small smile go.
"Come on, I'm hungry."
She just laughed and we headed inside the venue.
When we got to the green room, Ryan was the only one in there. I waved to her before making myself a plate of food.
"Go sit down, I'll get you, your milk."
"You're the best." I kissed her cheek before sitting down across from Ryan. "How did you sleep last night?" I asked Ryan.
"It's gonna take some time getting used to sleeping on the bus." She shrugged. "What about you?"
"Pretty good, I just let the bus rock me to sleep."
"You didn't sleep on Jade's bus?"
"Not last night." I took a bite of my eggs.
"Oh, I would have thought you would have."
I was from answering by Jade reappearing with my milk. She placed it in front of me.
"Sorry I have to go, they are having some issues that I have to deal with." She rolled my eyes. "Why did I say yes to this again?"
"Because at the end of the day, you love what you do." I laughed.
"Right." She kissed the top of my head. "I will see you later. I think the others are on the other bus."
"Okay, try not to bite too many heads off, okay."
"Fine, love you."
"Love you too."
She turned to leave and I smacked her butt, she glared at me, but didn't say anything. I just blew her a kiss and she gave me the finger. I laughed and turned back to my breakfast.
"You guys have an interesting relationship."
"It works for us." I shrugged. "So do you have a boyfriend?"
"No, but I do have my eyes on someone, if I could only get him to notice me." She played with her water bottle in front of her. "There's also the fact that he's taken."
"That's hard."
"You have no idea."
"Jade refused to give me the time of day when we first met."
"How did you get her to notice you?"
"I won Gracie over first and then I slowly showed Jade I wasn't like other guys."
"So Gracie isn't yours?"
"Yes and no. I adopted her when Jade and I got married. But biologically she's not mine. Not that really matter she's my daughter."
"Isn't it hard to raise another man's child?"
"Not when you love the mother as much as I love Jade. Plus Gracie is so hard not to love, she has everyone around her wrapped around her finger."
"She's really lucky to have a Dad like you."
"Thank you." I smiled at her.
"Welcome, well I have things I should be doing. I will see you later."
"Later."
She nodded and walked from the room.
I just shook my headed and finished my breakfast.
When I was done, I went looking for the other guys. I wanted to know how many of them knew Jade was coming and didn't tell me.
Well it's not like they would have, she was much more scary then I was.
~Jade's POV~
I really didn't want to leave Kendall alone with Ryan, but I really didn't have much of a choice. I had things to do to make sure tonight was prefect.
"Hey Boss Lady." Mark came up to me.
"Please don't have a problem that I need to take care of."
"No, Steve wanted me to tell you that the truck is here."
"Why couldn't he tell me this himself?"
"The way he puts it, you scare the shit out of him."
"I do?" I scratched my head. "Well damn that must be a new record for me."
"You are something else Boss Lady."
"You should just ask my husband." I laughed. "Anyways let's go check out the truck."
"Sounds good to me."
Once we got things squared away with the truck, I went looking for Kendall. I found him sitting with Ryan teaching her how to play the guitar. That in its self wouldn't be such a big deal, but they were using my $3,000 signed Journey guitar. What it was doing here I had no idea, but I never took it out and played it.
"Kendall."
"Oh hey Jade, I was just showing Ryan the basic of how to play."
"I can see that, but why are you using my guitar?" I crossed my arms over my chest.
"I didn't realize, I'm sorry. I must have grabbed the wrong when I left the house." He took my guitar from Ryan's lap and put it back in the case and closed it. "I'm really sorry Jade."
"It's fine." I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair.
"I don't see what the big deal is anyways." Ryan mumbled.
"That guitar you were just holding is worth about $3,000." I rolled my eyes and looked at her.
"For what?"
"It has all the original members of the band Journey's autographs on it."
"Again I say so?"
"They were and still are my favorite band. Anyways, I will be taking that and putting it on my bus."
I picked up the guitar from the floor and headed towards the doors. I really didn't want to be around that stupid brat. And I can't believe he accidentally brought my guitar. How he did that I don't know, but I would be so pissed if something had happened to my guitar. It was the one and only nice thing my mom had ever gotten for me.
"Jade, wait up please." Kendall called after me.
I stopped and waited for him to catch up to me. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I really wanted to shrug it off, but I knew that would hurt him. It was an accident after all.
"I really am sorry about bringing your guitar."
"I know." I looked up at him. "It was an accident."
"You okay?"
"Just tried."
"Why don't we go lay down for a little while before the show?"
"I guess we can do that."
"I don't think either of us got much sleep last night."
"I know I didn't."
"I blame Logan." He laughed.
"Oh really why is that?"
"Because I can."
"Oh really, is that how it works?"
"Pretty much." I shook my head as he opened the door to outside for me.
"What am I going to do with you, my Love?"
"Love me." He grinned at me.
"I already do." I smiled up at him. "So much."
"I know you do." He kissed the side of my head. "So Ryan said something about you not liking her."
"I don't know her, so how can I say if I like her or not?"
"Good point." He laughed. "I think she's nice."
"Mmhmm." I just leaned into him.
"Let's get you on the bus, you look like you're about to drop."
I just nodded and let him lead me to the bus. I really was tired, but I also didn't want to talk about Ryan. I'm sure deep down she has the potential to be really nice, but I just can't stand her. I have the way she acts when she's around Kendall, is just that an act.
But if she really thinks that she can get between Kendall and I, she really has something wrong with her.
Kendall belonged to me and I belonged to Kendall. And I wasn't going to let anyone try and tear that apart.
