6. Sometimes, I like you

CARA

"Oh my god!!" she exclaimed. "It's P.Y.T!!!"

She ran to the dancefloor and started to dance.

"Cara you have to come!!" she shouted to me.

I just chuckled and shook my head. But then she ran back to me and grabbed my hand and dragged me to the dancefloor.

"I guess you like Michael Jackson?" I asked while she was dancing in front of me.

"I do!! Especially this song!" she told me. "Come on! Dance!"

She suddenly grabbed my hands and jumped up and down. I laughed and started to jump with her. I mean, otherwise it would have seen pretty awkward. And I wanted to dance, so I just let loose with her.

While we jumped up and down, she looked at me and mouthed the lyrics.

 I Want To Love You (P.Y.T.)Pretty Young ThingYou Need Some Lovin' (T.L.C.)Tender Lovin' CareAnd I'll Take You ThereI Want To Love You (P.Y.T.)Pretty Young ThingYou Need Some Lovin' (T.L.C.)Tender Lovin' CareI'll Shake You There  

I just stared at her, standing still now while she technically sang it to me.

Should I kiss her? What the hell Cara!? Hell no!! What are you thinking!? Are you nuts!? But she is singing it to me? Or? Of course not! She is just having fun! Cara take yourself together! But she is so close... So what!? That doesn't mean she wants you to kiss her! For God's sake Cara, you're straight! I know! So why do you want to kiss her then!? I never said I wanted to, I just asked if I should!

Oh god... When is this war gonna end? How long will it take until someone wins?

"Cara?" Kendall suddenly shook my shoulders gently.

"Wha-what?" I asked, coming back to reality.

"Are you okay? You kind of looked a bit off." Kendall looked worried.

"I'm fine! I just daydreamed." I blushed.

"Do you want to go out? I am warm again." she smiled to me.

I nodded and we walked out.

"God, I'm almost sweating now." Kendall said and sighed.

"Wanna take a walk?" I suggested.

"Yeah, sure."

So we just walked somewhere.

"So you like P.Y.T?" I asked.

"Yeah, it's one of my favorite songs." she explained.

That is good to know.

"What about you? What is your favorite song? Or one of them."

I shrugged.

"I listen to so much, it's hard to choose one."

"I know exactly what you mean. But what song do you think is good then?"

"Maybe... Kiss with Prince?" I told her.

"You like Prince?" she asked shocked.

"Yeah."

"So I like the king and you like the prince, that is cool."

We just walked and talked until we took a cab home again.

"Do you want to go to my place?" I asked when we were 'home'.

"Okay. You don't smoke inside, right?" 

"Um... No." I answered honestly, and a bit awkwardly.

She already knew where I lived from that night when we like had a fight. So we walked inside, and I just threw my snapback somewhere.

Kendall took off her shoes and put them neatly on the floor. She took off her jacket and just put it on the couch.

My apartment was composed of four rooms. A living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. When you entered my apartment, you were in the living room where there was a lot of space. A Couch and a TV with a bookshelf with hundreds of CD's with a big CD player on the side. And behind the TV, there was a big window over Brooklyn.

If you went to the right, there was a kitchen. It was a kitchen island in the middle, not the biggest one, but there it was. The kitchen was pretty much white like every other kitchens.

If you went to the left, it was a small hallway to my bedroom. My bedroom was pretty big, with a king sized bed. It was clothes everywhere, and my wardrobe was practically empty. Clothes on my bed, on the floor, on my desktop, on my chair, everywhere! And I liked the king sized bed because I liked to have space when I'm sleeping, but ever since I met Kendall, it felt like the bed was too big for just me.

Anyway, the bathroom was just across the hall from my bedroom. And yeah, that's it.

My apartment is very big, which is a proof that I have a lot of money. 

"Make yourself at home." I told Kendall and sat down on the couch and looked at her.

"This place is huge..." she said and looked around.

She walked to the window and looked outside where the darkness had been taken over. Or not really, it's mostly not even dark on the nights in New York because of the lights from all the buildings.

"This view is amazing." She was awestruck. 

I walked to her and stood beside her. Our arms gently rubbing each other. I felt Kendall's hand snake their way to my hand and held it. 

I gulped and I didn't dare to look at her, so I just kept staring at the window. Every second that went by, my head was exploding. I always thought stuff like: How long are we gonna stand like this? And honestly, when she let go of my hand, I bet we hadn't even been standing like that for a minute.

"So... Let me show you around." I said awkwardly, trying not to meet her gaze.

I showed her all the rooms, and she said the same thing every time we entered another room.

"It's huge!"

"I know... I told you I had much money." 

And when I had showed her around, we decided to watch a movie. We watched The Proposal, because it's one of my favorite movies, and Kendall insisted that I would choose movie so...

"You like this movie?" she suddenly asked in the middle of the movie.

"Yeah."

"Motivate please." she said and chuckled.

"Well, I like it because it's one of my favorite movies." I know I know, I am the worst at developing my answers and my opinions.

"No shit." she said and chuckled again. "Do you have a reason why you like it?"

"Um... It gives me a good feeling. You know the environment in the movie is giving me such pleasure." Okay, that maybe went too far...

"Really? What pleasure?"

Oh god. Cara you are so stupid. Never ever tell the bizarre truth!

"It gives me a feeling that I like. I can't explain the feeling, it's like trying to explain the scent of your hair."

What. In. The. Freaking. World. Did I just say!?

"Oh my fucking shit..." I mumbled loudly.

"What did you just say?" she smirked. "The scent of my hair?"

"Be quiet and let me watch the movie... Please..." I just said and blushed.

"Nononononono. No" she said and smirked even more. She walked over to me, who sat on the other side of the couch.

"Tell me Cara! I won't be mad! I told you what I thought about your hair!" she begged and laughed.

"I'm not gonna say it." I shook my head and tried to die right there.

She was standing right in front of me now.

"Can you please move? I can't see the screen!" I exclaimed.

"No."

She leaned down and grabbed my head. She put her forehead on my forehead, and I just stared in her brown eyes. 

My heartbeat was unhealthy fast. It was faster than the drum. I bet she heard it, or felt it in my head. Or through my forehead. My mouth started to watering. My mind wasn't straight anymore.

"You tell me." she said and smirked. I could almost fell her smirk on my face. But it was still some space between us. And I hated it.

"IlikeyourhairsomuchandIjustwanttosmellitallthetimeandnowordscanexplainthesmellofyourwonderfulhairand-" I blurted out.

"Stop." she cut me off. "I said tell me, don't rap to me or whatever you're doing." she chuckled.

The air out of her mouth hit my face. I just wanted to close my eyes and never leave Kendall's hands. 

"Tell me again please, but a little slower this time." she whispered.

"Kendall, you are driving me crazy in every possible way." I whispered back, hoping that she wouldn't take it the wrong way. I clearly meant that she drove me crazy by standing in my way and making me do this and all that crap.

"How do I drive you crazy Cara?"

Oh my god stop teasing me!

"Guess."

"My hair maybe? Is it too good for you?" she smirked.

"Guess." I was not gonna say anything more.

She leaned closer to my face, and I swear, our lips were lightly touching each other. They almost didn't, but at the same time, they almost did.

I closed my eyes, and I let the moment take over. But the moment never did. But Kendall did.

"I won't forget this." she finally said and let go of my head. I saw how she went to the bathroom.

I took a deep breath. 

We almost kissed. What does that mean? Nothing, stupid. But we almost kissed. Yeah, but it was an accident. You never were meant to kiss. Are you sure? The question is, are you sure?

Kendall came back from the bathroom. And by the look of her face, that 'almost kiss' never happened. I guess I was right, it was never meant as anything bigger.

"Hey Cara, it's getting pretty late and I don't want to make you stay up all night. I know that you have been tired all day, I noticed that when you fell asleep." she said and chuckled.

"Are you leaving already? Cause I'm not tired at all." But of course, I yawned. "Damn it."

She chuckled and smiled to me.

"See ya Cara." she said and grabbed her jacket.

"No wait." I blurted out again.

"What?"

"Unless you want to stay over the night..." I said with closed eyes. I bet she thought I regret saying that.

"I would love to, but I have to get home to my boyfriend."

NO.

No. No. No.No. No. No. No.No. No. No. No.No. No. No. No.No. No. No. No.No. No. No. No.No. No.

She's just kidding. There is no boyfriend. She's lying. No. This is not happening. She's just messing around with me.

"You-You have a-a boy-boyfriend?" I stammered and nervously scratched the back of my head.

"Yes. Didn't I tell you that?" she asked surprised.

"No..." I whispered and shook my head.

And then I woke up. 

"Kendall?" I whispered when I saw her face above me.

"Hey sweetheart. Are you okay?" she smiled to me.

"Do you still have a boyfriend?" I asked a bit off.

"Yes." she chuckled.

"Why did I faint?"

"I don't know. When you asked the last time if I had a boyfriend, that was when you fainted."

"Oh. Sorry about that. I didn't mean to faint exactly that time." I just said. 

I stood up and it felt like I could fall any time. Which of course I did.

"Hey there." Kendall said and caught me just before I hit the floor. "Are you sure you're alright?"

"No." I said honest.

She smiled.

"You know what, I'll stay with you tonight."

I got so happy, and smiled to her.

"The whole night?" I asked.

"The whole night." She reassured me.

"You know, sometimes I like you." I told her, still smiling.

"Sometimes, I like you too." she said and bumped our noses together.
