Kendall P.o.V

On the way to work the next morning I told Carlos all about the date. He seemed a little too happy for me. "It was one date Carlos and I don't know what happened, but I had a good time .I mean, he's still an uptight jerk, but we have some things in common"

"Like how you're both competitive and stubborn?" He laughed. I slapped him when we got to a red light.

"Hey! That's abuse!" he called. "Stop your whining." I said, rolling my eyes at him. "I will, once you admit you had fun! Fun with a rich stuck up guy." he smirked at me. I rolled my eyes. "So what? One date, doesn't mean anything. He could have been putting up an act." I told him.

"For who? No one else was there. There was no need to uphold his rep. Maybe that was the true him." he said teasingly. "Yeah right, you're just jealous." I said with another eye-roll. "And now you're bragging? See? You did like it!"

The light turned green, I said nothing. Honestly, it was kinda fun. I mean maybe I like his company in a friendly way, who knows really. We pulled into the Shearwoods parking lot and got out. Thankfully my car didn't stall and we made it on time. We clocked in and tied our aprons on. Our manager had Carlos and I both on a register today.

The morning was a little busy but by 11:00 there weren't too many people. We were just about to go on break when he walked in. James Diamond, looking completly out of his element in lose fitting jeans, a polo shirt, collar popped, and clean white sneakers. I felt something inside my stomach. something like...butterflies? I snapped out of it and Carlos whispered. "Here comes lover boy."

"Why me." I groaned. But put on a bored face. I wouldn't let him have the satisfaction of knowing he gets to me. "Well, Well, fancy meeting you here." James said, an obviously fake edge of surprise to his tone as he held a flirty smile. "I work here, you know that. Nothing fancy about it." I stated. "We back to this again? Thought you had fun?" he stated more than asked. "I did, but that doesn't mean we're friends all of a sudden." I told him.

"Well, I am kinda hoping to be more then that." He mentioned with a smirk. I rolled my eyes, "What do you want now?" I asked a little annoyed. "I was wondering if I could take you to dinner when you get off tonight?" He asked. Was he really asking me out again? My stomach did flip flops and I wasn't sure what to do.

"I-I told ya yesterday. One date." He nodded. "Yeah, but you had fun..." I sighed and face palmed "Okay, fine. But, I am paying." I said . He chuckled "Aren't you cute." He winked at me and said "See ya later, Blondie." Then he sauntered off.

I grumbled a little once he left. I looked up to see Carlos giving me a knowing smirk. "Don't even dare." I growled at him. He held his hands up defensively. "Don't act innocent either." I told him and he just grinned at me. I was about to say more but an annoyed clear of the throat came from the line that was waiting for me. I gave a sheepish laugh and apology before getting back to work.

About 15 minutes later, Carlos and I took our break. We bought chips and soda and sat in the back room today. He was going on about some sort of new game he pre-ordered, but I wasn't really listening. Why did I say yes? Did I really like him? I did have fun, but that doesn't mean that's why I said yes.

"Earth to Kendork!" I heard. I snapped out of it to see Carlos looking at me a little worried. "You okay, Ken?" he asked. I nodded. "Just peachy." I mumbled.

"You're out of it..." he stated. "Am not." I told him. We argued back and forth a few times before I finally gave it, "Okay! I got some stuff on my mind, okay?" I exclaimed in annoyance.

"Sure you do, Romeo." he grinned, "Or Juliet perhaps?" he teased. "Oh, that's it mister!" I yelled and tackled him to the floor.

I tickled him, knowing he was extremely ticklish. He laughed and squirmed. "S-stop! Off!" I smirked at him. "No can do." and I kept tickling him.

"Ahahahaha okay okay! I give, I give!" he squealed, but I didn't let up. I kept tickling him.

All of a sudden, his face fell and I felt warm "Ewww dude!" I jumped up. he mumbled "You're own fault." then ran to the bathroom. Luckily I had nothing on me...well too much. I wiped it off the bottom of my jeans and cleaned up our so called lunch.

I handled the afternoon rush while Carlos cleaned himself. He emerged from he bathroom an hour and half before we clocked out.

"That was nasty dude." I told him. "Hey, You kept tickling me!" he accused. "Still, you coulda told me you had to pee." I replied. "I tried to!" he exclaimed. "Awww is Wittle Cawwitos upsewt?" I cooed in a baby voice. "Shut up!" he grumbled.

I shook my head and laughed some more. A little old lady came over and asked if I could help her grab something on the top shelve. "Sure thing." I said giving a small smile. "Oh thank you so much, dear. You're sooooooooo tall." I chuckled. "Thanks." I reached the paper towels she wanted and handed them to her. "Thank you so much." She reached up and pinched my cheek before continuing her shopping.

"Oh, you're such a handsome, tall, young man. Can you help me." Carlos mocked in a fake old lady voice once she was gone. "Kiss ass." he grinned. I glared at him, "Shall we look if you have any more piss left in your body?" I threatened as I wiggled my fingers in the air.

He jumped and squeaked. "N-no, I'm good." I smiled and said, "Good, cause if so we have Diapers in aisle 3, Adult ones at that." He flipped me off and I just went back to register.

I grumbled as I clocked out. James had arrived an hour earlier. At first I was confused, but once he came up to me I realized it, he didn't know when I got off of work. And I neglected to mention it earlier. So I guess that was a mistake on both our parts... still though... it kinda pissed me off he decided to stay for the hour it took me to finish. My boss even started questioning me abut him. But that's to be expected. Not every day rich snobs hang around the supermarket.

Especially a supermarket on this side of town. I headed to bathroom to empty my bladder. Before I left, I caught myself fixing my hair. Why the hell do I care? I messed it up again and headed out to meet James, "Hey." I said. He smiled "Hey, Blondie. Nice hair."

"I just finished work, what do you expect?" I asked. "Touché." he chuckled. "Well, since you're insisting on paying, why don't you decide where we go and what we do." he said. I nodded, "That's fine by me." I agreed and we walked out.

We went to his car and I buckled my seat belt. When his was buckled he asked, "Where to?" I smiled and said, "That's a surprise. Just make a right out of the parking lot." he nodded and saluted before doing as I told.

He left the radio off to listen to my directions as well as to try and pry for info about where we're going. I kept my lips sealed and just smirked at him each time telling him, "That's a secret."

We eventually ended up at a drive-thru movie. "Uhm, this doesn't look like a restaurant." He said. I snorted. "No, duh, moron. We can get food and watch a movie. They play really cool horror movies. Like Hitchcock's The Birds." I said. He rolled his eyes. "You are never choosing again, Blondie." I laughed. "Who says there is going to be a third date?" I rose an eyebrow at him.

"Me and my irresistibleness says so." he said cockily. "Tch, keep that up and this'll end as the one and a half date." I grumbled. He put his hands up in defense. "What else possessed you to agree on the second one?" he asked. "Maybe cuz you seemed like an okay guy back at the golf course. I guess that's changed..." I rolled my eyes. I should have known.

"I'm a great guy." He explained. I pulled my money out and handed it to James. "Shut up and pay the lady." I told him. He huffed but did as told. Once we got our tickets, we parked and I got out. "I'm going to get some food. What ya' want?" I asked. He shook his head. "I'm coming with you. I don't trust you to not just walk away and leave me here all alone." I smiled coyly. "What would make you say that?"

"Basically, everything you say and do ever since I asked you out this morning." he told me. I rose an eyebrow at him and frowned, "Everything? Are you stalking me Diamond?" he snorted. "Me? Stalk? Please, who do you think I am?" he said offended.

"'James Diamond, Playboy, A.K.A 'man-whore' (Blame one of your many exes), doesn't date anyone longer than a week. Goes from guys to girls. Seems to be a know it all. Can't stop looking at himself or talking about himself.'" I summed up for him. It might have been low. But I was not gonna let him play me either like he's done to others.

I got a sly grin in return, ''Oh, so that's your problem." He said chuckling. I sighed and went to the food counter and he followed me. We stood in line in silence. Neither of us speaking. Not that I wanted to anyway.

I ordered a soda and hot dog for myself. "What about you?" I asked. He shrugged and scrunched his nose. "Ugh everything here is so bad for you...water and ummmm I guess a hot dog too." I shook my head, "Must you criticize everything?" I paid and he took his food. "I do not criticize everything." He said as he put a thin line of mustard on his hot dog.

I snorted loudly, "Uh, yeah you do. Peoples looks, peoples personalities, school, daily life, food, businesses, everything." I told him, "If I had a penny every time I heard someone say: 'That place sucks, James said this, James said that.' I would be in freaking Hawaii by now."

He glared at me but said nothing. I put ketchup on my hotdog and then some relish. We headed back to his car in silence. The silence continued even after we settled in the car. I turned the radio to the station we needed to watch the movie. It was a random AM Station and as the dancing food ad was shown on the screen, it played in the car.

Before the movie even started our food was gone, those ads are almost longer than the movie itself. Why do they need to advertise so much? Anyways, I turned my attention to the screen. Not looking at James. He did the same.

It just got to the really scary part. I smiled seeing James cringe from the corner of my eye. This was a very funny thing to see. Who knew he was a scaredy-cat.

I tried not to laugh at him. If he thought this was scary, then just wait for the next movie they'll be showing. Maybe I should have picked that one... I snickered to myself as I imagined how he'd react to that one.

At one point, James actually yelped and jumped a bit. I laughed a bit. "You okay?" I asked. He glared at me and said, "What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you laughing?" I burst out laughing. "Sorry. I didn't know you were a scawed wittle baby." I mocked.

He just glared harder and made me laugh more. "God! Who knew? The James Diamond, scared." I chuckled. "What else makes you jump?" I mused out loud.

He went to say something, but a creepy creature that crawled on the dashboard caught his eye. "SPIDER" He shrieked and somehow landed on my lap. I laughed my ass off.

"Oh my god! You're afraid of a teeny tiny spider!" I managed to get out between laughs as I saw the spider, barely bigger than an M&M.

He grabbed my shirt and shouted loudly, "I don't care how big it is! KILL IT! KILL IT NOW!" I blinked and held back a laugh. "Okay, okay. You have to get off of me first." He did so and I snatched the thing with my fingers and flicked him out the window, but not before moving it past his face, making him back up and shriek louder. I laughed as I rolled my window back up.

"Wuss." I chuckled.

"Asshole." he muttered. I smirked and turned back to the movie. He seemed to have lost all the color in his face though. I sighed feeling a little bad. I threw an protective arm around his shoulder.

He relaxed a little at that but said nothing. We continued to watch the movie. He seemed to be less jumpy now. He also regained some of his color a while later.

Towards the end he seemed to have leaned into my touch a little. Part of me wanted to shove him away, but the other part kept him there.

We sat there for a while. A weird silence hung over us. I couldn't tell if it was tense, awkward or just a content one.

Before I had a chance to figure it out, the movie ended and James moved from my embrace.

I rubbed my neck. It being stiff due to sitting in the same position for most of the movie. "What now? " he asked.

"You can take me back now if you want." I had no more cash on me and won't get paid till next week, I can't take him anywhere else.

"Okay..." he mumbled. Sounding a little put out. He started the car and drove onto the road and headed towards Shearwoods again.

This was definitely a crappy second date. He won't ask me out again. I just don't know if it is a good thing or not? On one hand , I don't have to deal with his stuck up bitching. Or with the fact that he's had it so much better than I did. On the other hand I'll miss poking fun at him, and his company I guess... it was strangely welcome.

Before I knew it, we were back in the parking lot of Shearwoods. He parked next to my car and got out with me. "Afraid I can't get back to my car in one piece?" I joked. He chuckled. "No." He said and stepped closer to me. He kept stepping closer until I backed all the way up against the car door.

"Um..." was all that came out before he kissed me. My breath got caught in my throat as he pressed against me a little before pulling back. "Wanted to do that." he said with a wink. I felt my cheeks heat up. He chuckled, "Cute." he pecked my nose and put a piece of paper in the palm of my hand. "Call me sometime." he smiled. Kissing me one last time before pulling away. I stood there frozen for a while.

Once I was unfrozen I lifted my fingers to my lips. I snapped out of my thoughts and got in my car. I was able to get about halfway home before my car stalled again. The only difference now was that it didn't turn on again.

I tried it over ten times, but it just wouldn't start. I sighed. I guess that'll be walking home and get Carlos to help me.

I put my car in neutral and was able to push my car to the side of the road as to not cause an accident. I then headed towards home.
