The next morning, Carlos woke up with Logan still on his mind.
When he got his clothes ready for his run, he made it out of his bedroom, and saw Kendall eating cereal.
Kendall saw Carlos was wearing black basketball shorts, and a blue sleeveless shirt, and already knew Carlos' plans for his workout.
"Morning. You gonna go see Logan on your run?" Kendall asked with a smirk.
"Why do you think that?"
"Cause before you woke up, I heard you say his name a few times. You like him" Kendall said while still grinning.
"Oh my god, you heard that?" Carlos asked shocked.
"Relax. I won't tell James, or Logan. Unless you want me to."
"Don't. He's my crush. You go focus on yours. I know like James just as much as I like Logan."
"Touché" Kendall said.
Carlos then made his way to the couch where he sat while putting on his shoes for his run.
Right after he got them on, he stepped out the door and saw someone familiar coming his way.
Logan Mitchell.
Carlos stopped and observed Logan running towards him.
Logan had a white sleeveless shirt, and blue basketball shorts on, and Carlos had to try and not stare as Logan was getting closer.
When Logan finally made it to Carlos he was surprised at Carlos being right there.
"Hey, Carlos." Logan said after he stopped for a few minutes to rest his legs.
"Hey Logan. What's new with you?" Carlos asked trying to make conversation.
"Nothing much. I'm just enjoying my day off work."
"Cool. What exactly do you do at Rocque Records?"
Logan answered as they started to run at the same pace. "Me and James have to write our own songs tomorrow, and pitch the idea to our boss. If he likes them, then they can be on our album once we record it."
"That's cool. All I do is work a cash register, and if I'm lucky, maybe even help make the pizzas, and work the deep fryer where I work" Carlos said chuckling.
"You help make the pizzas? That's cool."
"Yea. The time goes by fast when there's music playing. Once me and several co-workers were singing 'Tongue Tied' by GROUPLOVE. Our supervisors applauded us.(1)"
"What other songs did you sing to while at work?" Logan asked curiously, hoping Carlos wouldn't tell that this was his way of flirting.
"Um, 'Someone Like You' by Adele, 'Drive By' by Train, 'Miss Independent' by Ne-yo, and a bunch of other songs I can't remember. But I sing a lot at work, even while I wait for guests to come to my window at the cash register." Carlos said chuckling.
"Well, maybe you could join the band if you want." Logan said.
"Cool."
Carlos then started to think to himself 'I must resist the urge to make a move on him. I have to give it time.'
When they were done, they began to walk slowly back to their homes, when Logan asked Carlos something unexpected.
"Carlos?"
"Yes?"
"Would you and Kendall like to come to dinner and me and James' house tomorrow?"
Carlos then replied "I'd love to. I'd have to ask Kendall if he wants to come, though."
Logan then told Carlos "James told me he already asked Kendall and that Kendall said yes."
"Really?"
"Yea, Kendall probably didn't tell you. He'll probably tell you when you get to your house."
"Kendall always has this habit of not telling me good news until the last minute." Carlos said with a smile.
Logan then added, "The dinner was James' Idea. And, Zane wants to meet you and Kendall."
"That's cool."
When they made it to Carlos and Kendall's house, Carlos said "bye, Logan. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Bye, Carlos"
As Carlos closed the door, he asked Kendall "did you say yes to going to Logan and James' house tomorrow for dinner?"
Kendall answered with a smirk "you're welcome, loverboy"
"Uhh, thanks."
"So how did your run go? Was there any kissing?"
"No. And we just talked about work."
"Talking about work leads to kissing." Kendall said casually
"Mind you own crush, Kendall"
"Just saying, make sure your breath is minty fresh. That's what I'm gonna do."
"Whatever. Don't you have to get ready for work?"
"Nope. I traded shifts with Dak."
***JAGAN'S HOUSE***
"Carlos said yes to dinner" Logan told James as he came in the door.
James and Zane were eating pancakes at the time and James said "see. He likes you."
Logan then told Zane "Zane, you're gonna meet me and Uncle James' friends. Are you excited?"
"Uh-huh! Uncle James told me Carlos is that man from Six Flags!" Zane said happily.
"And Carlos' friend works there, too" James told his nephew.
"Really?"
"Uh-huh! Carlos' friend works in the games."
As Logan sat down and started to eat, he could already tell that if his crush on Carlos did go somewhere, Zane wouldn't mind.
After he ate breakfast, Logan then took a shower, while Zane was coloring in his coloring book.
The entire time, everyone was looking forward to the next day.
(1)That actually did happen to me =)
