Chapter seven

I blinked, staring at him confused. "What?"

"I was drunk," Kendall began, ducking his head in anticipation of my anger. "We went to a party after dinner, and she wanted to come back here to…you know. So, I brought her, and you heard me tell her I love you. But, what you didn't hear was me saying your name."

"But…you were with Jo," I whispered, suddenly thinking that stating the obvious would help me understand.

"I was. But I wanted to be with you. I just, didn't know you were gay. I meant it, back when we were kids and I told you I loved you. I was so scared you had been hurt because I couldn't protect you right. And seeing that blood on your shirt…it just made me think I was losing you."

"I wasn't that hurt…it only took three stitches," I whispered, smiling at the memory. "Besides it was my fault, I was clumsy as a kid. That's why my mom enrolled me in gymnastics."

Kendall grinned. "I know." He turned his body to face me, eyes searching mine for any sort of rejection. "I'm telling the truth Logan…if you'll just look at me you'd see that."

I grimaced slightly, afraid to look at him. If this was a joke then I doubt I could recover. I took a deep breath, trying to conjure the courage.

"Please Logie, trust me," Kendall whispered.

I nodded and slowly let my eyes roam up from his chest. I took in the light blue plaid shirt. It fit him perfectly, showing off his figure just enough to give a sense of what it'd be like to see him without it. Next my eyes landed on his neck, seeing the way it tightened as my gaze got higher. He was nervous.

My eyes landed on his chin and continued moving, pausing at his lips. I licked my lips absentmindedly and turned my gaze up over his nose, the nose that would only ever look good on Kendall, and finally stopped at his green eyes.

He watched me, his eyes soft and worried. I could tell right away that he wasn't lying, that he loved me. "Did Jo love you," I whispered. I knew I'd regret it if his answer was yes, but I needed to know. I needed to know everything if this was going to work out, and I needed him to know everything too.

His eyes swept down in regret once then returned to mine and shrugged. "I honestly don't know, she never told me. Today she seemed fine. She remembered what happened last night but she wasn't angry about it. She was hurt, but not filled with rage."

"Are you sure about this," I whispered, my less rational side demanding I just shut up and cling onto him for as long as he'll have me.

He nodded. "I am. I've wanted you to be mine since we were seven Logan. Nothing's going to change that."

"But you've never been with a guy," I whispered. "What if your body doesn't like it as much as-,"

"Logan trust me, all of me wants this."

I blushed and looked down. "You won't want me after you hear about me and James."

"Yes I will." He moved closer to me, cupping his hand around my cheek and making me look up at him. "I really don't care about what you two did, and I don't really want to hear about it."

I opened my mouth to talk but he shook his head.

"Really Logan, you don't know just how jealous I am that James got to kiss you and touch you before I did." He pet my cheek and whispered low, "I like James, I want to keep him as a friend. I'm very possessive of you and hearing about him having you will make me hate him."

I blushed and leaned into his touch. "Alright, I'll keep it to myself if you promise to do the same with you and Jo."

Kendall smiled and nodded. "I can do that." He leaned a little closer, pressing his forehead against mine. "I really do love you Logan."

I smiled and whispered, "I love you too Kendall."

He grinned, leaning in to kiss me. My heart raced and my eyes fluttered shut. I could feel him getting closer, his other hand coming up to cup around my other cheek.

"HEY!"

I jumped knocking into Kendall and rubbing my head looking around with wide eyes. "James?"

He glared at Kendall and stalked over, followed closely by an angry Carlos.

"He's dating Jo!" Carlos stood beside James, his arms crossed over his chest.

"We broke up," Kendall replied, rubbing his forehead from where my head collided with his.

Carlos and James both looked livid. They wanted to protect me from being hurt again. I understood that, but I trusted Kendall. "Carlos, James," I said softly, earning three gazes on me. "I know you're just being protective…but I trust Kendall. I always have. So, just trust me ok? If this all blows up in our faces then you both have every right to say 'I told you so'."

I watched as they examined me, trying to find any hint of doubt I had. Carlos was the first one to give in. He sighed and shook his head then turned to Kendall. "I love you man, but if you hurt Logan I'll kill you." With that the Latin boy headed to the kitchen, grabbing anything edible.

James sighed and nodded. "Same thing he said," his eyes landed on Kendall's in a hard glare. "I'll never forgive you for breaking his heart." He turned away and moved to join his boyfriend.

Kendall's gaze fell back on me. "I wouldn't forgive myself either," he whispered as he ran his fingers over my arm, making me shiver.

I smiled and leaned closer to him, resting my forehead against his carefully. Closing my eyes I breathed out happily. Kendall chuckled and moved, bringing his lips to mine in a soft kiss.

I knew this would last.
