Now on with the story…
20 minutes later
"We're here!" James yelled.
"Can I take off the blindfold?" Kendall asked. He was getting curious about the place James was taking him.
"Fine. Go ahead Knight."
Kendall took off his blindfold, stunned by the place James had taken him. It was a coffeehouse called Expresso Life. It was where Kendall was first noticed by the Gustavo Roque. He had been in there because his car had broken down, and was getting repaired at a local automobile place. He had decided to get some coffee, and saw Kendall on stage. Kendall was a pretty regular performer there; typically once or twice a month he would perform. The owner was nice, and really liked Kendall. This place was where he came when he needed to relax. He felt another wave of guilt, for the second time today, over take his body. Why hasn't he come here? Had Hollywood made him forget his roots, and forget who he really was? No. He loved this place. Yes, it was a bit run down, but it was homey. It was the place his career began. He made a mental note to visit this place more often.
"This is great James. Thanks."
"Told you I was a great friend. It gets better. I invited Stephanie, Carlos, and Logan to come also. Stephanie ad Carlos will probably be doing whatever, I'll be picking up hot chicks, which leaves you with the one and only, Mr. Logan
Mitchell." James said with a wink.
Kendall blushed. He was excited. This was going to be a carefree night at his favorite place, with a guy who made his heart swoon. On top of that, since the place was quite small and had dim lights, not many people would bother Kendall. People typically tended to be quiet, and somewhat kept to themselves unless someone comes up to mingle.
"Tonight's gonna be amazing." Kendall thought to himself, before entering the hangout with James.
"Let's go say hi to the Chris first." the blonde said, which James immediately agreed too. Chris was the owner of the place. He was around 40, but seemed to look n act older than that.
"Hey Chris." They both echoed.
"Kendall? James? I haven't seen you guys in forever! How the heck are ya?!"
"Pretty good." James replied.
"Same with me. How about you?" Kendall chimed in.
"I'm great! How's music going, Kendall?
"Pretty well. I'm coming out with a new video for my single "Cover Girl." I'm not sure if you've heard of it... It's kinda new."
"Of course I have! I follow your career. You've always been my favorite performer. Hey, could you perform today for us? It would be a treat for all of us."
"Um, not today. My voice isn't feeling great; but I promise I'll be back soon and will sing then." Kendal answered with a smile. He really wasn't up for singing today, he just wanted to lay low and hang out with Logan. Plus, he came here to relax and get away from singing.
"OK sounds good. I'll catch you later guys. I've gotta get back to work. See you!" Chris said then walked off.
"I miss him." Kendall commented.
"Me too." James answered.
Next, they scanned the crowd for a certain 3 people. Quickly enough they picked them out in the crowd, and headed towards their direction.
"Hey guys." James greeted with his famous James diamond smile.
"Hey boys. Don't you two look lovely." Stephanie said with a laugh.
Both boys laughed. They all chatted for a while, and then started to split ways.
"Me and Carlos are gonna go dance. See you guys later." Stephanie told them, before grabbing Carlos's hand and brought him onto the dance floor. It wasn't exactly a dance floor, just a small area cut out in front of the stage for somesmall dancing. The place was too small for an actual dance floor. But overall, it worked.
"I'm gonna go pick up some hotties numbers. Either of you wanna join?"
"Nah, I'm good man. But thanks." Logan said with a smile.
Kendall was about to answer, when James interrupted,
"I know you don't. You never do. See boring duds later." James said walking off into the crowd.
Kendall chuckled at his friends actions.
"Does he do this a lot?" Logan asked.
"Take a guess." Kendall answered with a laugh. Then it finally hit him. He and Logan were finally gonna be alone.
"So, um, what do you wanna do?" Logan asked awkwardly.
"Wanna just grab a drink and chat? I'm kinda tired, and we hafta be ready for
rehearsal tomorrow or Gustavo will throw a fit." Kendall answered. This would be a good chance for him to get to know Logan.
"Sounds good. I'll buy."
"No, it's ok. I can pay."
"I insist. It's not everyday that I get to share a coffee with THE Kendall Knight." Logan joked.
"Fine. Thanks. I'll pay next time." if there is one, he thought to himself. He wasn't sure what he though about the THE Kendall Knight statement. Did he view Kendall as a stuck up, fake, Hollywood singer? Or was just a joke or excuse to buy him coffee. He put that aside and went to go order their drinks. In the back of the coffee he saw a girl, her back to him. She looked oddly familiar. He tried to get a closer look but it was their turn to order. He shook his head and told the employee what he wanted it. They both ordered frappuccinos, and made their way to their table.
"I'm not much of a coffee person, but I love frappuccinos." Logan said with a smile. That smile made Kendall's heart melt. He finally managed to say,
"Yea, me too. Black coffee just doesn't do anything for me."
"So, are you enjoying yourself? Have you been here before?"
"Yea, I have. I used to perform here. This is where I was discovered."
"Really? That's so cool."
"Yea, I guess. I love this place. Can't believe I forgot about it. James surprised me by bringing me here. It just so relaxing and homey. It really brings me back to my roots."
"Yea, I know what you mean. I really like it here."
"I can't wait to see the performers. I love watching amateurs perform. It brings
me back."
"It's hard to believe you were an amateur. You're the biggest star out here now."
"Funny, I don't feel that way. I just feel like the same old Kendall; well at least I hope I haven't. I don't want to be one of those fake Hollywood stars. I want to be real."
"I didn't know the old Kendall, but this Kendall's pretty cool, and genuine."
Kendall blushes, not sure what had just happened. He quickly responded, not wanting it to be awkward.
"Thanks. You're cool too Logan. I'm glad I'm getting to know you."
They both just smiled, staring into each other's eyes. They were interrupted by a frantic James.
"Guys, HIDE ME. There's a crazy chick that's following me around."
"And you don't like it, pretty boy?" Kendall said with smirk.
"Just shut up and hide me."
Soon enough, a high energies blonde girl came rushing past their table.
"She's gone." The blonde sighed.
"Thanks man." James answered.
"Grab a seat. The shows about to start."
He quickly pulled up a chair and waited for the show to begin.
"Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to the Expresso Life!" Chris spoke through the microphone. The audience clapped.
"We will be having 5 performers tonight! So everybody, let's give a round of applause for our first performer, Mike!"
A decent looking guy jumped onto the stage. Flashing a bright smile.
"Hi guys, I'm gonna be singing the song, 'Rhythm of Love' by the Plain White Tees."
He started strumming his guitar, and started singing,
My head stuck in a cloud
She begs me to come down
Says boy, quit fooling around.
Kendall had to admit. He was really good. His voice was filled with emotion, and his tone was quite impressive.
As the song approached to an end, he stood up and applauded. It was a wonderful performance.
4 more people performed, all were decent acts.
Chris clambered onto the stage, "Thanks to EVERYONE who performed today. You were all fantastic! Hope to see all of you next week!"
Kendall looked at his watch; it was about 10:00. Gustavo had told him he wanted him back by 10:30 the day before rehearsals.
"We should probably get going James," Kendall sighed. He was having such an amazing time.
"Yeah, it's already 10:00. Get some sleep for rehearsals. You're gonna need it Logan." James half joked. When Logan laughed he added in, "I'm actually dead serious. He's rehearsals are TOUGH. You need all the rest you can get."
"OK, thanks guys. Let's head out." Logan chuckled.
The three of them waved goodbye to Chris, and headed toward their cars.
"Carlos and Stephanie already left. Their car's gone." Logan commented.
"I hope they went to get some rest." Kendall sighed.
"Me too. Let's hit the road pal. See you tomorrow Logan."
"See ya James." James walked off to the car, knowing Kendall and Logan wanted to say goodbye privately.
"I had fun tonight. It felt good just to relax. Thanks." The blonde bravely stated.
"For what?" The brunette inquired.
"For being a…friend." Kendall answered with a blush.
"You too, Kendall. We should, um, hang out again." Logan replied, blushing like Kendall.
"So, see you tomorrow?"
"See you tomorrow, Mr. Knight." He said with a wink. He walked down the street to his car.
Kendall clumsily clambered into James's car, a large smile playing across his face. Logan, yes Logan, wanted to hang out with him…AGAIN. He giggled like a little girl, to happy to care about James's remarks.
"So, How was your night with Prince Charming?" James asked with a grin.
"Amazing." Kendall answered in a dreamy tone.
They rode to their apartment in a comfortable silence; James focusing on the road and Kendall day (Or night?) dreaming about Logan.
Kendall couldn't wait for tomorrow's rehearsal.
