Jo POV
The first thing I was aware of when I came to, was that my head wasn't pounding anymore. That's a start. I soon let my eyes flutter open and get used to the morning light. For a while I just lay there staring at the ceiling until I finally made the effort to move.
I tried getting up but just fell back down. I looked down and then beside me to see Kendall with his arm snaked around my waist. Holding me tightly. His face twitching into a frown.
Wait what? Since when…oh yeah. Yesterday.
I smiled as I remembered. I still couldn't believe it actually happened. We actually got together. I leaned over and planted a soft kiss on his nose. This caused his eyes to slowly flutter open and search around lazily until they landed on me. Then he smiled.
"Hey you." He said softly.
I smiled right back. "Hi." I replied softly pecking him on the lips.
"Crazy day yesterday huh?" he asked me cocking an eyebrow.
"Ugh, don't remind me." I said throwing my head back and closing my eyes. Then I realized something and shot up.
"Hey, how did I get to my bed?" I asked curiously.
Kendall smirked. The jerk. "Well, last night if you remember, we worked HOURS working on a song and sometime around 9 you passed out, papers scattered all around you. I didn't want to wake you up so I carried you upstairs."
I smirked. "And how is it exactly that you were asleep next to me?"
He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. "Well, I was about to leave, when I heard your mom downstairs. Plus you had that run in with that Jett guy and so.." he trailed odd.
"So you thought you'd stay with me?" I smiled. He smiled right back. Did I mention he has a gorgeous smile? "Yup." He responded. Which caused me to giggle.
"Well then you better go before my mom catches you." I said lightly pushing him off the bed causing him to chuckle.
"Okay, okay." He said before grabbing his backpack and opening my balcony window. "I'll see you soon." He said before stepping back to peck me on the cheek then turned and jumped off my balcony landing solidly on the ground.
I sighed and flopped back on my bed. I barely remembered any of what happened yesterday. Just a bunch of screaming and fighting. Then, blackness. Then there was Kendall and how we confessed how we liked each other, the smiles, the soft kisses.
I sighed again before finally getting up and walking downstairs. My mom greeted me with a smile. "Hi honey. Did you sleep well last night?"
I smiled. "Yeah mom. I did."
"Good. Well go upstairs and get ready because Mrs. Diamond herself and her son are coming over for lunch in an hour." She informed me while pouring herself a cup of coffee.
"MMmmkk." I replied while dragging myself out of my chair and upstairs to shower. I felt dirty from not showering last night since I fell asleep before I could.
After I showered I walked to my drawer and picked out my off-the-shoulder black top and white skinny jeans. I curled my hair to perfection and put on some basic jewelry as well as some light make-up. To finish off I put on my 2 inch black cover high heels.
I walked downstairs just as the doorbell had rung. "Coming!" My mother shouted running towards the door, but stopped short. "Oh. Jo, by the way, her son brought a friend too. Just to make it less awkward for the kids." I nodded and continued descending down the steps.
My mother opened the door-
"James?" I practically shouted when she opened the door. Behind it was a tall woman with light brown hair and a rather serious expression. It was who was beside her that I was suprised about.
"Jo?" his reaction the same. "You're the daughter to the new vice president?"
"Yeah." I laughed, him as well.
"Why don't you three come in?" my mother motioned. James's face immediately paled.
"Yeah, about that…." He started then stepped inside allowing the last person to enter.
Kendall.
My face immediately brightened, however his immediately hardened.
"Jo." He spat.
"Kendall?" I tried to say, but it came out more as a question.
I noticed the adults had already left leaving us kids in the awkward and confusing atmosphere.
"Yeah. Jo, I kind of invited Kendall. Not knowing you were going to be the daughter, soooo I know you guys hate each other, but please try to keep it at a minimum." James pleaded. I just stood their dumbstruck.
"That might be a problem with Jo here." Kendall spat. What the hell was his problem? One minute we're kissing and cuddling on my bed, the next we're back to square one? Fighting with the oh-so jerky Kendall Knight from day 1? Fine.
"I can only hope Kendall uses his manners. IF he has any at all." I say flipping my hair over my shoulder and walking after the adults, leaving the two of them standing their speechless before following me soon after.
"Kids! How lovely of you to join us!" Mrs. Diamond announced. I smiled politely and sat in one of our chairs, the boys on the couch across from me.
"So Jo, I've heard many great things about you from your mother! Tell me about yourself."
I smiled, Mrs. Diamond seemed nice enough. I took a sip of the tea my mom laid out and cleared my throat. "Well, I'm sure my mother has told you our back story, but I'm very athletic, quick-witted if I might add," this earned me a laugh from Mrs. Diamond and James. Kendall stayed neutral.
"Doing very good in school, and I hope to do something big as I grow older." I finished. Mrs Diamond just smiled at me.
"Is there a special boy in your life? Because I think you and James would look absolutely adorable together!" she exclaimed.
I almost choked on my tea. "Mother!" James exclaimed embarassed, cheeks turning red. I glanced over at Kendall and he was practically seething with anger, trying his best to hide it. Huh, I thought he didn't care.
I let out a strained chuckle. "Uh, that's very sweet Mrs. Diamond, but James is just a friend, and no there isn't really a special boy." I said secretly glancing at Kendall.
"Excuse me, I'm going to go make some more tea." I said excusing myself to the kitchen and out of the awkward atmosphere.
I got the tea pot and refilled it with hot water, and sighed as I placed it on the stove. "Nice cover." I heard an all too familiar voice behind me.
I spun around surprised. However, that sense of surprise soon turned to anger. "What the hell is your problem!" I exclaimed. He seemed taken aback.
"We confess our love to each other, kiss, and…cuddle and all of the sudden you hate me again? What is your problem!" I shouted quite angrily.
He was about to speak but I wasn't going to let him.
"What is this? A game? Cause' I don't need that! I've been through enough crap in my life. I don't need you toying with my feelings. And another thing-" I was about to continue my rant when I was cut off by his lips on mine.
I immediately melted into him as he drew small, very soothing circles into my back. I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him back. When we broke apart he was smirking and I was smiling goofily.
"How was that?" he asked.
"Great." I said dreamily. But, it was soon replaced by anger again. "Wait, tell me what is going on!" I demanded, untangling my arms from around his neck. He held his hands up as to show surrender.
"Ok, I'm not exactly ready to tell people we're dating." He told me truthfully. My anger immediately drained out of me and was replaced by confusion.
"Why?" I asked genuinely curious.
"Well, I kind of have a reputation and I'm afraid you'd get picked on for dating the rebel of the school." He answered
I smiled. "Ok, if you aren't ready then I'll wait." I said and smiled as I wrapped my arms around his neck and just stared at him adoringly.
"But you have to learn to get your emotions under control Mr. Knight." I said smirking. He blushed realizing his reaction to Mrs. Diamond's comment about me and James.
"For you...ok." he said. He then leaned down to kiss me, I leaned in too…..until in one fluid motion I twirled out of his embrace. Leaving him very stunned there.
He turned his head around to face me, a confused expression on his face.
"We're not dating remember?" I said with a smirk and walked back to the living room. I could sense him smiling and soon followed me suit.
Except, am I really going to let him hide our relationship?
If it means saving our relationship, then yes.
