A/N: OMG people I'm so sorry for this terribly late update! I've had an incredibly busy week, this story just totally slipped from my mind and I only just now remembered about it. So sorry!
Well anyways, here's next chapter!
Those who reviewed, you guys are angels!
SHOUTS OUT!
-SuperNeos2: Lol. Those will be his initial intentions, however, sometimes things just don't end up as planned. As for Frankie's reaction...I'm curious about that too, to be honest, lol. We'll see, we'll see. Thanks for reviewing and enjoy the chapter!
-OuToFmYmInDbAcKiN5MiNuTeS: Well...it'll be hard for Kendall and Jo to be 'just friends' I'll give you that. But I think it's manageable...we'll see. I'm glad I've managed to keep this story unpredictable, that was kind of my goal, lol. We'll see where this will end up. As it is, this chapter will lead to something interesting...you'll see soon, some of the aforementioned secrets...oh, and I'll give you my feedback on the chapter later today, I've just been awfully busy. So sorry. Enjoy the chapter and thanks for reviewing!
-Macklemoose: Well...I adore drama so...yeah, and its not over, I can't promise that there'll be no more twists. In fact, there's a bigger twist in this chapter...but I CAN promise that I'm a sucker for happy endings so...you might want to stick around for that. If not then...well...at least you gave this story a try.
-LoveSparkle: It's okay, I totally get it. Oh, and the Jettness will only worsen in this chapter...you'll see, you'll see but then again, this is a Kames not a Kett story and so...well, we'll see where this will all end up. Thanks for reviewing and enjoy the chapter!
-4ever with Kames: Oh you're right to be nervous about this date alright. You're about to see a lot of drama go down. However, we'll see how Kendall deals with it all. Thanks for the review and hope you enjoy the chapter!
-EagleAce11: Lol. We'll see. James will definitely find out about Kendall's many mistakes, that's a given. However when and how is yet to be determined. Oh, and as you will probably will be able to tell from this chapter, Kendall's not done with making mistakes. So we'll see...however, we'll also see if James is a forgiving guy...or not. Thanks for reviewing and enjoy the chapter!
-Jennamaslow247: Hey, I'm glad you're enjoying the story. I usually update once a week. It's no longer every Friday because sometimes school is hectic and I have service hours I have to cover and I usually come home feeling beat. But as you can see, I still update every weekend. Again, glad you're liking the story...enjoy the chapter and thanks for reviewing!
YOU GUYS ARE ALL AWESOME!
Cheers,

Ch. 37: From Bad to Worse
"A table please, I believe I have a reservation, check under the name 'Stetson' for 8 o'clock," Jett told the waiter cockily as he and Kendall made their way into a fancy-looking Spanish restaurant.
"Right away, sir," the waiter said in heavily accented English "Follow me please,"
"Gracias," Jett thanked the waiter in smooth Spanish.
Kendall sat down across from Jett wordlessly and picked up his menu. Suddenly, he got an idea. Which was kind of lame, granted, but hey, he'd do anything to ruin Jett's night.
"So…you're paying for this, correct?" Kendall asked carefully "I mean, you did ask me out, not the other way around…"
"Fine Knight, I will, but even if you've decided to ask for the most expensive dishes you can come up with, like I suspect, I'm warning you, I can pay for the most extravagant dishes on this menu, no problem…" Jett said.
Kendall sighed. Well, at least he'd tried.
"So Kendall…" Jett said, reaching across the table to hold Kendall's hand "Tell me, how have you been?"
"I've been better," Kendall answered honestly "And yet…yeah, I'm not complaining, I mean, I'm marrying the man of my dreams in a few months and this movie's almost wrapped up and then I have an acting contract and my already-successful career…yeah, everything's great…"
"Funny you keep mentioning your, um, coming wedding…" Jet mused "I mean, most people who, as you say, are about to get married to the guy of their dreams are not kissing their ex-girlfriends in plain view…"
"That was an accident!" Kendall said "And anyways, I wasn't saying our relationship's perfect…no relationship's ever really perfect…"
The waiter came in that minute, and Kendall, feeling he wouldn't be able to stand Jett all night otherwise, ordered vodka and gulped it in almost one big gulp before ordering another.
"Easy there now, I won't drag your drunken ass back to the hotel, besides, aren't you always the one always encouraging the other three to stay well away from alcohol?" Jett asked.
"Well, I've had a stressful week, I deserve some release," Kendall muttered "And cut me some slack, Jett, it's not even as if you REALLY cared about me…"
"Aww, I care about you, Knight," Jett cooed and before Kendall could stop him, he had pulled him in for a kiss. Kendall closed his eyes, willing his mind to pretend it was James who was kissing him, James' tongue that was running across his bottom lip, asking for permission which he granted reluctantly.
He knew he couldn't refuse Jett and had to play his game tonight. He was aware of the potential harm that the conceited actor could do to his and Jo's lives if word ever got out of what he knew and so he tried hard not to wince, even as he felt Jett's tongue wrap around his own, and his hands tugging at Kendall's hair, urging some response out of him.
Again, Kendall reluctantly placed his arms around Jett's neck, bringing them closer.
Moments later, Jett pulled away from the kiss breathless.
"Not a bad kisser Knight," he commented, while lightly running his hands through Kendall's face and hair.
"Neither are you," Kendall admitted grudgingly.
"I'm Jett Stetson; of course I'm a great kisser!" Jett said, seeming offended.
Once again, Kendall rolled his eyes.
"You just killed the mood," the blonde muttered.
"Sorry…"Jett said, grinning sheepishly "Want me to set the mood back?"
"No, Jett- I don't think that's a good id-"Kendall's arguments fell to deaf ears as Jett captured the blonde's lips in a heated lip-lock once again.
They pulled away moments later when the waiter came back and coughed awkwardly, stammering as he asked them for their order.
Kendall ended up getting a steak, French fries, and more vodka while Jett ordered wine for himself and a Caesar salad.
"You eat just like James…" Kendall said, already feeling the alcohol making him a bit tipsy and "happy".
"How so?" Jett asked while he caressed the blonde's hand, observing how the alcohol was making Kendall less reluctant of this whole situation.
"You're always worrying about calories and such, it's so, so boring," Kendall said, noticing how his voice was beginning to sound suspiciously like he was drunk.
"Well, we both have smoking, rocking hot bodies- though I'm obviously better-looking than he is," Jett said "But you know how it works…you want a hot body? You gotta take care of it…"
"Hey, I have a pretty decent body too, you know, James isn't the only one who's nicely built in our band…" Kendall said as the waiter brought their food and he downed his vodka again in one gulp, hiccupping after he was done.
"I never said you weren't handsome," Jett said flirtatiously, making Kendall blush and avoid his gaze "Handsome,"
Kendall purposefully stared at his food instead of Jett as his vision began to get a little blurry, the bright lights feeling as if they were blinding him.
"You must really have some high tolerance for alcohol," Jett observed further "Any other seventeen-year old would've probably blacked out by now with all the vodka you've had…"
"Nah, I can handle much more…" Kendall said, although somewhere in the back of his mind he knew his voice was starting to sound REALLY off by now.
Of course he should've also guessed at how drunk he was because he was suddenly seeing Jett in a new light. He was suddenly looking at Jett and seeing the handsomest guy he'd ever seen in the entire world in him.
This thought troubled him greatly and he ordered yet more vodka, in order to distract himself enough to survive this hectic date.
"You cold?" Jett asked him, observing how Kendall was shivering slightly. Kendall cursed himself inwardly for not bringing a coat or jacket with him today as he nodded weakly at Jett.
Wordlessly, Jett shrugged off his jacket and helped Kendall put it on. Kendall couldn't help but notice the nice, lingering smell of Jett's cologne in his jacket.
The warning bells went berserk in Kendall's mind as Jett sat back down and they began talking animatedly about Jett and Kendall's future acting careers, their week on set, the movie, and many other interesting details while Kendall ordered more vodka.
Jett joined him now in his little drinking game and by now Kendall knew there was no way that he wasn't drunk.
He realized with growing alarm that his mind was becoming foggy, his vision becoming blurry and his whole world was beginning to spin. He was quickly losing track of where he was and what he was supposed to be doing.
Soon after he realized that, everything around him became a blank he'd soon wish to be able to recall…or not at all...
A/N: Ta-da! Predictions anyone? Lol. I think it's pretty obvious...then again, I might be wrong.
So...will Kendall decide to come clean and tell James all about his secrets?
Then again, is James withholding something from him as well?
And what about Cargan? Lol. I haven't mentioned them in quite a while...
Anyways,
REVIEW TIME!
Tell me how much you liked this chapter (or how much you probably want to kill me right now, lol.)
And DO let me know if you have any predictions for next chapter...
PS. OMG! BTR IS COMING IN A TOUR TO LATIN AMERICA! AND MY PARENTS HAVE SAID THEY MIGHT TAKE ME TO GUATEMALA TO SEE THEM! I AM DYING! :)
Cheers,
