A/N: Hi guys! So sorry for the late update BUT it's election weekend in my country and things around here are hectic to say the least. Plus, Friday was my niece's birthday and my sister wanted my help in organizing her party and so...yep. I'm a busy girl.

In other news, James Maslow is in Dancing With the Stars this season so, Rushers let's help him win shall we? Plus, Heffron Drive's new single "Parallel" is coming out very soon so stay tuned!

To those who reviewed last chapter...

SHOUTS OUT!

-OuToFmYmInDbAcKiN5MiNuTeS: Indeed. Things will be getting tough for Cargan...and Kames aren't off the hook yet. BTW, I absolutely ADORED your last update. You are a fabulous, marvelous writer my friend. Just update soon, okay? Thanks for reviewing and enjoy the chapter!

-AgonyJade: I know, I know, things with Cargan are PRETTY complicated and they're about to get even more so. Regarding Kendall...well...he WANTS to tell the truth to James but...will he get the chance to actually so it or will someone beat him to it? I don't know, we'll see...as it is, thanks for reviewing and enjoy the chapter!

-EmeraldGrey57: True. That WOULD be sad, I'll keep the suggestion in mind. So you think Logan should propose huh? Okay, so far that seems to be the winning idea so...we'll see. Thanks for reviewing and enjoy the chapter!

-SuperNeos2: Well, as I've said before. We'll see. Kendall's definitely going to TRY to tell James himself...hopefully he'll be able to in the end, I haven't decided yet...also, things with Cargan are about to get really interesting so...that's another thing to keep in mind...thanks for reviewing and enjoy the chapter!

-LoveSparkle: I agree, things will be tough for our four guys in a short while...however, all will be well in the end, you'll see. Thanks for the review and enjoy the chapter!

-November 2 1990: I could try to include some Jendall friendship scenes however, for now I think it'd be too soon. They're still hurting after all. Carlos doesn't like anyone else yet, as you'll be able to see in future chapters, however, deep down, he's afraid he and Logan aren't meant to be so...you'll see what sort of repercussions his decisions will bring. Thanks for reviewing and enjoy the chapter!

-4evet with Kames: Well...James WILL find out...and probably from someone else, you're right. However, WHO will tell him. I'm not sure yet. As it's, it might not be the most obvious one, in fact it'll probably be he last person you'd expect. They just clapped hands together, lol. And yes, it was my first ever BTR concert. It was awesome, thanks, hope you were able to find it in YouTube. Thanks for reviewing and enjoy the chapter!

-DeniseDEMD: Well...I'm not a huge Heffron Drive fan simply because I think Kendall's sort of leaving BTR to be in HD but then again, I love some of their songs and I will support Kendall no matter what. I had a blast at the concert, thanks. And yes, things are about to get PRETTY interesting for Cargan in the next couple of chapters. We'll see how everything turn so it in the end. Thanks for reviewing and enjoy the chapter!

YOU GUYS ROCK!

Cheers,

Ch. 42:The Anniversary

James woke up with a wide grin on his face, wrapped up in Kendall's arms.

Today was his and Kendall's anniversary!

"Wake up baby!" James said in a sing-song voice "Today's a very special day!"

Kendall smiled softly, not opening his eyes.

"And why's that?" he asked teasingly.

"Because, a year ago from today, you made the best decision you ever could've made in your entire life!"James said happily.

Kendall laughed, finally opening his eyes to look at his adorable boyfriend who was hovering above him.

Taking James' arms he flipped them so that he was on top of him.

"Is that so?" Kendall asked James as he stared down at his boyfriend "Are you really that sure of yourself?"

"Hey, I'm a catch," James said, without a hint of a doubt in his voice.

Kendall laughed as he leaned down and pecked James on his lips lightly.

"That you are babe, that you are," he said "Then again, so am I…"

He and James began making out then, James wrapping his arms around Kendall's neck and his legs around Kendall's waist.

Kendall thrust his hips forward, making James whimper, beginning to feel his cock spring back to life.

"Guys, Gustavo sent me to-jeez, you're celebrating already?" Katie cried as she covered her eyes.

Both Kendall and James gasped in shock and Kendall quickly got off of James.

"Hasn't mom taught you how to knock before you go into people's bedrooms?" Kendall exclaimed annoyed at his little sister.

"You have the worst timing…" James said for his part.

"Well…I grew up picking your locks back at Minnesota big brother, you should know better than to…well…do this while you know I'm awake…" Katie said, still averting her gaze from her brother and his boyfriend.

"Oh so now I can only have sex with my boyfriend while you're asleep?" Kendall asked indignantly "Why don't I buy you a bell instead? That way you wouldn't sneak up on people like that…" Kendall said.

"Okay, okay enough, what did you come in here for?" James intervened, knowing the two siblings enough to tell that they were about to get into an argument he did NOT want to be a part of.

"Gustavo sent me to tell you two a) congrats on your anniversary and b) if you want to leave work early today, you better get down ASAP to the set…" Katie said "Oh and, this is from me, I still can't believe you've put up with him for an entire year, James," she said "I pity you,"

"Hey!" Kendall exclaimed, annoyed "Very funny, now get out…I love you and all, but you're just really, really annoying this morning…"

"What, just 'cause I got you cock-blocked?" Katie asked with a laugh.

Kendall's eyes widened.

"Katie you're fourteen years old and nowhere near old enough to be saying such words…"he said.

Katie raised her eyebrows at him.

"This, from the guy who got his first hand job when he was thirteen from the pretty freshman Sally Martin in our bathroom? Yeah…isn't that hypocritical on your part…"she said.

"Katie!" Kendall hissed "Out!"

"Fine," she said before she made her way out their room.

"Sally Martin?" James smirked as he turned to stare at Kendall "She was two years older than you!"

"So? Lucy was too…James, it was a really long time ago…"Kendall said "I'm not even sure how Katie remembers that…anyways, guess we better go and get ready now, huh?"

"I could still repay you, you know?" James said encircling Kendall's waist with his hands "Show you how Sally Martin has got nothing on me!"

Kendall smiled.

"We could always make time for that…" he said as both teens raced towards the bathroom…

(Later that day…)

Kendall sighed, relieved as he wiped his sweaty face with a cool towel.

He'd managed to finish all his work by lunch time, just as he'd promised.

Elena laughed when she saw him.

"Tired much, huh, Kendall?" she asked.

"You bet!" he said "Guess I'm just glad that what's coming up next will totally make up for it…"

Elena laughed again.

"Go on then," she said "Go find James…and you two have fun on your anniversary!"

"Thanks, we will!" Kendall said as he rushed off to find his boyfriend.

He found him talking to Frankie by the dressing rooms.

Kendall paled when he saw Frankie.

(A/N: Sorry to interrupt but for this next part...keep in mind this is the first time Kendall and Frankie are alone since Kendall andJo kissed and...well...you'll see soon enough...)

He knew that the guy knew by now that he'd kissed his girlfriend…and although Jo had assured him that Frankie hadn't been mad at HER…there was no telling if he was mad at Kendall.

"Um, h-hey guys," Kendall said uncertainly as he approached them "How's everything going?"

"Oh, Frankie was just giving me tips on how to be more fatherly on camera," James said, grimacing at the word fatherly.

"Hey, it's what you want, isn't it?" Frankie asked James with raised eyebrows and a smirk.

"Well…yeah," James admitted grudgingly "But that still doesn't make it any less frightening!"

Frankie laughed.

"True," he said before he became serious again "Before you guys leave…Kendall, may I have a word with you?"

"I-yeah, yeah sure, why not?"Kendall said weakly before forcing a smile for his boyfriend "Meet you in the car in 5 minutes?"

James shrugged.

"Sure," he said and he skipped along happily.

"So then…" Kendall asked Frankie awkwardly once his boyfriend was well out of earshot.

"I assume you know what I want to talk about with you?" Frankie said, his tone a bit colder than usual. Kendall cringed internally.
"Frankie, man, listen, if this is about the kiss with Jo the other day…I swear it was unintentional, really, Jo can tell you that-"

"Kendall, intentional or unintentional, the thing is, that kiss still happened…" Frankie said "Now, I understand you and Jo go back a long way and, you know, people even say that where there was once love, there'll always be ashes…so, I need to know something, and I want you to be completely honest with me, can you do that?"

Kendall nodded glumly. He figured he owed this guy that much.

"Do you still have feelings for Jo?" Frankie asked him, arms crossed.

"I-yes, yes I do," Kendall admitted finally "But-"

Frankie waved him off.

"Do you intend to renew your relationship with her? Or pursue her in any way?" he asked him.

"No," Kendall said finally "I love Jo, yeah, but…I love James a lot more and I'd never do that to him. He means the world to me and I'd never want to harm him in any way. I never meant to harm him in any way to begin with," he finished bitterly.

"Good," Frankie said with a nod "Then I'd recommend, for both of you guys' sakes that you either remain friends but are conscious of the fact that you are JUST friends or…that you stop being friends altogether if this will only continue happening time and time again…"

"You-you're right," Kendall said "Frankie, I'm sorry-"

"Look Kendall, it's not me you should be apologizing to," Frankie said "You've hurt Jo. So much you have no idea…if she puts up a brave face in front of you it's just so that you won't get hurt, seeing how much you've hurt her-"

Kendall winced at Frankie's harsh words.

"I'm not a jealous guy, Kendall, I pride myself in being a very tolerant and amiable person," Frankie continued "However, if I sense you're taking advantage of her again…if you ever get her hopes up again only to crush her when you leave, I will beat you up, understand? Jo's a nice girl, Kendall, and she deserves more than-well-more than you…"

"How do I know you won't hurt her?" Kendall asked defiantly, now crossing HIS arms and glaring at Frankie.

Frankie only laughed.

"You're right," he said "Feel free to beat me up if I ever screw up and hurt her, alright? That sound fair to you?"

"Fair enough," Kendall said and both men shook hands.

Kendall checked his watch.

"Shoot, I have to get going Frankie! Our reservations were for 1:30 and it's already 1:20, I have to run!" he said.

"Get going then," Frankie said "Oh and Kendall?"

Kendall turned to look at him.

"Yeah?" he said.

Frankie punched him, square in the jaw. The blonde staggered back a bit, more from the shock of the blow than any actual pain.

"Hey!" Kendall exclaimed rubbing his sore jaw "What was that for?"

"That was for you kissing my girlfriend…" Frankie said simply "Guess we're even now…"

Kendall winced.

"Okay, guess I deserved that…" he muttered "Thanks for not making a scene in front of James at least,"

"Figures, you haven't told him," Frankie said with a roll of his eyes "Go on then, I don't want to make you lose your reservations…"

Later...

Today had to be the happiest day of his life, James thought as he and Kendall sat side by side on the little dock of the beachfront restaurant Kendall had taken them to for dinner.

The waves crashed below them and the moon was so bright it reflected in the water. The starry sky also complemented their romantic candle-light dinner perfectly. The dinner, however, was at a small little white table with a single red rose on a vase and it completely untouched by the two lovers as they dipped their feet in the cool water.

James still couldn't believe Kendall had rented the whole restaurant for the two of them…though he had to admit it was indeed a nice touch, for it gave the two of them some, much needed, privacy and intimacy.

"I love you," James heard the blonde whisper in his ear and he shivered from the huskiness in Kendall's voice.

"Love you more," he managed to whisper back to the blonde who only laughed.

Today had been a wonderful day for both of them, Kendall thought for his part.

They'd gone to lunch at the cute little restaurant he'd promised James he'd take him to and after that they'd strolled through the park for a couple of hours, stopping to eat some ice cream cones.

Then, James had surprised Kendall by renting some water jet skis and they'd had fun racing through the water.

Now, both of them tired but unbelievably happy, they were just enjoying the cool breeze and being in each other's arms.

"Don't you sometimes wish we could stay like this forever?" Kendall whispered.

James tightened his grip on the blonde.

"Sure," he said "Then again, I remind myself that I'd lose the wonderful times that we have ahead of us…like our wedding…"

He felt the blonde tense up in his arms.

"What's wrong baby?" James asked him.

"Nothing's wrong James," Kendall said with a sigh "It's just…I have to tell you something, okay? But-but it can wait…it can wait until tomorrow or, you know, it can wait…"

"You sure?" James asked him concernedly "You know you can tell me anything, right?"

"Yeah," Kendall said "But trust me…we've had a wonderful day so far, I think it'd be best if I told you about this some other time…"

"Okay," James said with a shrug "Your call…I trust you baby,"

'That's the freaking PROBLEM!' Kendall thought frustrated but he let none of his frustration show.

Soon, he and James got up and decided to eat their dinner.

Kendall poured them two glasses of wine (which James, being technically, the adult of them two had bought for them). He handed a glass to James who took it gracefully.

"A toast?" Kendall proposed.

James nodded.

"To us," Kendall said loudly and clearly "May our marriage be long and bring extreme happiness to us both,"

"To us," James repeated, his love for the blonde growing by each passing moment. They clinked their glasses and sipped their wine.

Needless to say, their food was exquisite after that…

(Meanwhile, with Carlos and Logan…)

Carlos was beyond delighted at how this day was turning out.

Something, he wasn't sure what, but something nonetheless had triggered Logan's unusual romantic mood on.

They'd had a wonderful brunch at the hotel and had gone surfing. After that, Logan had surprised him with tickets to the spa, which the Latino had happily consented to go to.

So far, it had been a great day, full of massages and relaxing, just the two of them, chilling out like they hadn't in a really long time.

However, there was one tiny little thing that kept nagging Carlos at the back of his mind. Supposedly, this was to be the day he'd speak to Logan about them taking a break from their relationship, and though he still wanted out, he couldn't bring himself to shatter the romantic illusions his oblivious boyfriend had set up for them tonight.

Logan was such a nice guy, Carlos thought, and he didn't deserve to have his heart broken.

Carlos sighed inwardly and thought to himself that the break-up conversation could wait for another day, after all, both were pretty happy right now with the way things were.

Logan, meanwhile, unaware of the thoughts that were plaguing Carlos' mind, could barely contain his excitement.

It was almost time…soon, they'd be happier than they'd ever been before…

(With Kendall and James…)

"Oh God, Kendall," James moaned out as the blonde continued to suck and lick at his neck, having trapped him against the wall as soon as they'd re-entered their hotel room.

He gripped Kendall's shoulders even tighter, clawing at the blonde's shirt, willing him to take it off.

Kendall complied, wordlessly shrugging off his shirt before proceeding to get rid of James'.

James offered no resistance whatsoever, obediently lifting his hands over his head so Kendall could take off his shirt.

The blonde then rubbed their clothed erections against each other, making them both moan at the contact.

"M-more," James whimpered pitifully "Please Kendall, more…"

"Whatever you want baby," Kendall answered before unbuttoning James' jeans and sliding them off his body, the brunette sighing when some of the pressure around his dick lessened.

Impatiently, he helped Kendall take down his boxers, sighing relieved when his erection sprang free from its confines.

"So beautiful…" Kendall whispered the sight of his boyfriend naked, panting, and needing being almost too much for him to bear.

Unconsciously, similar images began to fill Kendall's mind. Of Kendall pushing Jett up against the wall, exactly like he was now doing to James.

However, Kendall pushed those thoughts away determinedly. Today was not the day he'd worry about that. Today was all about him and James. About giving James everything that he, Kendall, was capable of giving him.

Of showing him just how much he loved him.

Kendall moaned when he felt his boyfriend's hand wrap around his throbbing need. He hadn't even noticed when James had taken down his boxers, as he'd been too far gone into his mind.

Swatting James' hand away, Kendall crushed their lips together and rubbing their bare erections together.

Both of them moaned at the contact.

"Kendall, more," James moaned.

"Patience baby," Kendall said amusedly.

He coated his fingers with a generous amount of lube before gently, and teasingly inserting one of his fingers inside James' tight entrance.

James moaned and gripped him tighter than before.

"Wait, Kendall," James said in between pants, making Kendall stop what he was doing immediately.

"D-Did I hurt you?" he asked his boyfriend concernedly.

James smiled coyly at him and shook his head.

Kendall grinned at him before he resumed kissing him passionately.

They pulled away, both boys' eyes blown wide with lust.

"Bed?" James asked Kendall breathlessly, for they hadn't moved from the wall all this time.

"Too far," Kendall murmured before kissing him and once more slipping a finger inside him.

"Sweet," James gasped out loud.

Kendall soon added a second finger and began scissoring inside James, loosening him up. And then added a third.

"'M ready!" James whined "Kendall, just hurry up and get inside me, please!"

Kendall smirked.

"Your wish, my command," he told James before lubing his cock and lining it at James' entrance, beginning to push in.

Both moaned when Kendall was fully buried inside James, never having done it against a wall before, it was a whole new different angle and a different sort of pleasure they now felt.

James let out a scream as Kendall's thrust hit his prostate directly, sending shockwaves of pleasure over his whole body.

"There! Kendall! Hit there again!" he panted.

"James, baby, you're so tight, so deliciously tight!" Kendall moaned.

James was now clinging on to Kendall's neck for dear life as the blonde continued to repeatedly hit his prostate with his thrusts, James now having been reduced to senseless mumbling.

"Shit, Kendall, it feels so good! You feel so good baby!" James managed to grit out amidst the waves of pleasure.

"Fuck James, you feel so amazing!" Kendall grunted as he sped up his thrusts, causing James to let out another scream of pleasure.

"H-harder!" he gasped "K-Kendall, f-faster! I'm close, I'm so, so close!"

"Me-me too," Kendall managed to pant, beginning to feel that familiar bubbly feeling in his stomach.

Keeping his left one against the wall to maintain their balance, Kendall brought his right hand to James' length and began to pump in time with his thrusts.

Suddenly, James let out a loud scream that sounded suspiciously like Kendall's name before he came hard on Kendall's hand, pleasure washing over his entire body, having the most mind-blowing orgasm he'd ever had.

Kendall came with a yell as well, feeling James' tight walls become even tighter around him, filling James' insides with his seed. They rocked together for several long moments, before finally standing still, shivering from the power of their orgasms.

When he finally recovered the ability to talk, James managed to lift his head up and look at Kendall.

"Take me to bed?" he croaked, his voice hoarse from so much shouting.

"Sure," Kendall said, picking James up, bridal-style before carrying him to their bed.

James snuggled close into Kendall who held the brunette tightly in his arms.

"I love you, Kendall," James said, closing his sleepy eyes.

"I love you too, James," Kendall replied lovingly "Happy anniversary,"

"You too," James said.

And they fell asleep in each others' arms, dreaming of their future together…

(Meanwhile with Carlos and Logan…)

"Logan, this day has been absolutely perfect," Carlos said as he and Logan finished their own romantic dinner at the Spanish restaurant Carlos had been asking Logan to take him to.

"I'm glad you've had a nice day, baby," Logan said earnestly "I wanted this day to be special…"

"And what's so special about today?" Carlos mused, obliviously "Have I forgotten my own birthday or something?"

Both of them laughed at that.

"Carlos," Logan said growing serious "You know we've now been dating for the better of two years?"

Carlos nodded, unsure of where Logan was going with this.

"Well," Logan said with a sigh, his stomach curling into a nervous knot "I-I just wanted to tell you…yo, yo te amo Carlos," he said in clear Spanish, making the Latino gasp in surprise.

Carlos' eyes widened as Logan got out of the chair, took his left hand in both of his own and slid down on one knee.

"Carlos García," Logan said "Te amo más de lo que te imaginas, eres lo mejor y lo más especial que me ha pasado en esta vida, y no puedo imaginarme una vida sin ti. Te amo con todo mi corazón…solo me queda preguntarte- te- te casarías conmigo?"

Carlos gasped in shock as Logan pulled out black velvet box and offered the ring inside to him.

He'd be damned if he pretended he hadn't understood perfectly what Logan had just told him in very smooth Spanish.

'Carlos García, I love you more than you can imagine, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me and I can't imagine a life without you in it. I love you with all my heart, so I guess now what I have to ask is…will you marry me?'

Carlos looked at Logan with wide, panicky eyes. He had NOT seen this coming at all.

"Well?" Logan asked him again when he didn't speak for several long moments.

"Logan!" Carlos exclaimed, his eyes welling up with tears, but not being able to tell if they were tears of joy or sadness.

"Yeah?" Logan asked him smiling brightly.

"Logan, I-I-"Carlos stammered…

A/N: BOOM. Done, that's my cliffhanger right there, lol. Hate me all you want but seriously, what do you guys think/want Carlos to say to that? Also, did you guys like the Kames anniversary? I know the lemon wasn't very detailed but I had the 2 experiences going on at the same time. It was a pretty long, pretty interesting chapter was it not? Also, Frankie punched Kendall! Lol. I loved writing that scene...did you guys like it? What will happen now?

Well you guys will find out NEXT WEEK if you review!
