Chapter 27

I woke up the next day to Kendall's body so close to mine I couldn't move without him waking up, so I stayed. I watched the lines of his face look softened and carefree since his slumber made him that way.

He was beautiful in the most manly way possible. He was purely amazing. His eyelashes fluttered as his lips curved into a smile.

"Watching me sleep is the first sign of creepiness." He teased me. I rolled my eyes and tried to roll away from him as I giggled. He kept his hold on me. He kissed my lips once and then started kissing down my neck making me giggle.

"Oh my gosh. Kendall! No!" I said as he tried to have a repeat of last night. He jutted his bottom lip out down at me, but then smiled and leaned down to kiss me again. This time he wasn't expecting anything else.

"I want to show you off today." He whispered jumping off me and rolling off the bed. I giggled and lied there.

"Meaning?" I asked him intrigued. He shrugged pulling on his boxers and then his jeans he had worn last night.

"You do whatever you need to do and I'll go home for a change of clothes and shower. Then I'll be back in an hour." He said throwing on his shirt. I lied back on the side of the bed where he had lied. He walked back over and leaned down to kiss me.

"I mean it, one hour." He warned me. I nodded with his face a few inches away. I kissed him again. "I love you." He told me breathless as he stared down into my eyes. My heart must have adopted the butterflies that had once lived in my stomach because they now live in my heart and they made my heart beat as fast as their wings would beat.

"I love you." I answered as he smiled and kissed me once more and then headed towards the bedroom door.  He looked back once more and smiled at me. He left the apartment and I was left with an hour to get ready.

I got in the shower and then changed into a cute cream dress with pink floral all over it. I put on some flats and left my hair to dry in it's naturally straight state. I dabbed a few drops of makeup on my face and decided to turn on my phone as I swept mascara on my eyelashes. I was finished with thirty minutes to spare. I walked into the living room feeling better that I was now actually dressed and showered for the first time in a week. I couldn't believe we had sex when I was so gross.

I waited in the living room scrolling through messages and tweets. Kendall had some pretty depressing tweets like 'Always feeling like I could've done something to tell her' or 'Why cant people just tell those they love that they love them?' In the past week which really worried his fans. I felt like that was my fault, but then suddenly he had tweeted again today about ten minutes ago. 'For all those worried, love saves. Believe.' He had tweeted making my heart flutter again.

Within twenty minutes I had responded to some tweets of Kendall's fans asking if we were an item or if we were together from the past two weeks. I simply replied 'Ask Kendall :)' to them all in hopes he'd get floods of tweets. I sighed waiting. Then a knock on the door livened my boredom. I almost skipped to the door when Kendall was scrolling down his twitter.

"Really? 'Ask Kendall'?" He asked walking into the apartment and giving me a face of annoyance. I smiled innocently. "You're lucky you're cute." He said smiling and then tapping my nose with his finger. I then leaned forward with my lips puckered as he responded with a quick brush of the lips. Before whispering, "and that I love you." To add to his statement before. I giggled and shook my head.

"Let's go." I told him.

"You don't even know where we're going." He said. I shrugged.

"You said you wanted to show me off, then do it." I told him. He smirked. He took my hand as we walked down to the elevator and waited for it to drop. Kendall looked at my wrist where my tattoo was.

"It's healing nicely." He said running his fingers along my wrist.

"I think I might want another one soon." I told him. He laughed.

"Wait a few months between, that way you know if you actually like this one or if you just like the idea of having tattoos." Kendall said as the elevator opened at the lobby. We walked off hand in hand and the doorman opened the door for us. We walked out to the parking lot to Kendall's car. He opened the door like a gentleman and then came around to his side. He got in and we were backing out of the spot he had parked in.

"Where are we going then?" I asked him. He smiled.

"I just hope you are comfortable in those shoes." He said said looking me up and down. I searched his face for any signs but definitely couldn't tell. It was Friday, so I wasn't sure where we could be going on a Friday. Kendall's outfit however might've given it away. He was in a light grey tank top that read: 'Peace, Love, Music' on it with an inverted triangle in a darker grey shade. I couldn't quite tell, but his round rose lensed sunglasses were a hint. As we pulled up, I knew where we were going. A fall music festival.

"Oh my God, you've got to be kidding me." I said getting out before Kendall could come open my door. Kendall smirked and came around kissing my cheek.

"Just for a few hours." He told me as his arm went around my shoulders and my cast rested on his lower back. We walked around awhile before Ellie Goulding started her set on the main stage. Everyone was dancing and singing. It was a completely different atmosphere than I had ever been in before. Kendall's arms were around my waist the entire time as his lips were against my ear singing beautifully along with every song just for me.

Kendall and I towards the end of Ellie's set found a spot alone, a little secluded away from everyone else, but could still see Ellie and the stage. We sat on the grass, me between Kendall's legs leaning back onto his chest and his arms around me. "And we gonna watch it burn, burn, burn, burn." Kendall sang along to Ellie, sending shivers down my spine. He chuckled and kissed my neck.

"Your voice is amazing." I told him playing with his fingers. He chuckled and held up the sign for 'I love you' in sign language. I smiled and did it back.

"I think you're amazing." He whispered but then sighed. "But thank you." He said his lips brushing against my neck giving me goosebumps.

"You should sing to me sometime." I told him. He nodded.

"Okay, I will." He agreed in a matter of seconds. Instead of staying a few hours as Kendall had planned, we stayed all day and well into the evening. We were lying in the grass, staring up at the sky. The stars were twinkling and seemed to be going along to the music.

"Do you think you can count all the stars in the night sky?" I asked him. He shrugged.

"I think you'd lose count before you'd get there, but I'm sure somewhere along the way, you'd miss one." He said looking at me. I smiled and then looked back up at the sky. I then started to count to myself using my finger to 'touch' each star. "You're crazy." He told me as I got to fifty and then lost where I was.

"You screwed me up." I blamed him shoving him playfully making him laugh. He raised up on his elbow and then grabbed my good hand and kissed it.

"Why don't you say we get out of here?" He asked. I smiled shyly and nodded. We left the festival and soon were back at my apartment, 'enjoying' each other's company. While a few hours later Kendall was on his elbows playing with my own fingers, this time from my broken arm. "How do you feel with this thing?" He asked holding up the cast gently. I shrugged.

"It's annoying. It's bulky and huge. It's also quite plain and ugly, I don't know why I chose white as the color." I told him honestly. He smirked.

"Do you by chance have a marker?" He asked looking around my room. I reached to pull out the drawer of my nightstand. I felt around until I came across a marker. "Okay, close your eyes." Kendall said taking the Sharpie and starting to do something to my cast. I sighed and did as told. He was either drawing or writing something, I wasn't quite sure. A few moments later and he stuck the lid back on the marker.

"Okay, open." He told me. He held out my arm in front of my face. It read: 'If lost, please return to Kendall Schmidt' with a little heart. I giggled and covered my face with my good hand.

"So I'm yours now if I'm lost?" I asked him. He shrugged.

"I'd prefer it to returning you to someone else." He said playfully and poking my side making me squeal.

"Alright, I'm yours." I told him shyly and held his face in my hand. I smiled. He then leaned down slowly and pressed his lips to mine. His hand let go of my arm and we were embracing one another.
