The next morning i heard banging on my door that wouldn't stop. I stumbled out of bed shoving my fingers into my bed head. I had every intention of telling whoever was at my door to get lost. I pulled it open.                                                                                                                                                              Kendall stood there smirking at me. In his hands he had two coffee's. "Well well, good morning sunshine." He said. He had a guitar slung over his back. I pulled the door open to let him in. "Late night?" He asked. I nodded. He sat the guitar down onto the table and the coffee next to it. "Ready to write?" Kendall asked. "No, um...let me get changed first." I said. "You don't have to." He joked taking in my long legs. "Yea, okay." I rolled my eyes leaving the room. I came back moments later dressed in jeans and a t-shirt.                      

               He handed me the coffee and i took a sip. "Thank you." I said. "No problem. Okay so what do we write first?" He asked. "Okay so I've thought about this. How about for the title you make me want to. And we just talk about in the first verse that i take how you make me want to be more adventurous or whatever and in the second verse, you take, you talk about how i make you want to be a better person." I threw out. "Hey, yea i like that! What about in the first verse you say 'you make me wanna let me hair down, get out of town rev up your bike and let's just go. I've never been one to live this recklessly but now that I'm with you, you make me want to." He threw out.                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Hey that's gold, i like it." I said. After we wrote a bit more my stomach growled. "Hey you okay over there?" He asked me. "No i think my stomach bit my liver." I said. "Ah okay if you show me to your kitchen I'll make breakfast." He said. "Wait...you can cook?" I asked. "Don't look so surprised!" He said. I followed him into the kitchen while he took out the fixings for an omelet. When he finished he set them on plates and i took a bite. "Wow, I'm impressed that's pretty good!" I said. "Why thank you, can't write this song by myself." He said. "Ah I'm sure you could." I said. "Yes but then it would be one sided and it needs both our perspective to be a good love song." He said.                          

                  "Ah right you are. I did however tell Dale about the song. He is pretty excited." I said. "Right and then what?" He asked. "Well he wants me in the studio by the end of the week. And then by the weekend he wants to schedule the video shoot." I said. "Great, any ideas?" He asked. "Zero but you know the director always does, so whatever he says y'know?" I said. "Right but, i thought you'd have some input or at least some objections." He said. "Well now objections I'll probably have." I said laughing. "I'm sure you will."                       

                  We finished the song by the end of the day and headed to the studio to tell Dale. "You finished it in one day? Great! Let's get you in the studio the first thing in the morning." "Don't sound so surprised. Toby Keith wrote 'should've been a cowboy' in ten minutes." I said. "Oh?" He asked. "Yep you know he was at a bar..." Dale held his hand up. "Just be here by eight." I sighed. "Fine, see you then." I said walking out of his office. "Hey wait!" Kendall called out after me. "Yea?" I asked. "Tell me the rest of that Toby Keith story." My eyes lit up. "Okay!" I grinned.                   "Well he was in a bar and this older guy asked a younger girl to dance. She turned him down. Later a guy her age came in with a hat and boots. And one of his friends says he should've been a cowboy and inspiration struck. He ran back to the hotel, locked himself in the bathroom and a classic was born." I said clapping my hands together. "I didn't know that, cool." Said Kendall.
                  We left the studio and dodged paparazzi on our way home. The next day we were in the studio bright and early. We sat down to sing the song on our stools. The band was behind us. "Hazel Grace, you know i love you. But if you're in love i need to hear the emotion in your voice." Said the sound tech. "But I'm not in love." I said. "Yes i know that, but everybody thinks you're in love and even if you guys fake break up it's a great song. And your voices are killer together." He said.

                      He was right, it was a great song and even though i wasn't in love with Kendall i could imagine being in love. We did another take and it still fell short. Dale had walked in and didn't look pleased.                                                                                                                                                                                              "That was great Hazel Grace but you guys are supposed to be in love. I just don't feel it!" Said Dale over the speaker. I frowned. Again? Really? "Don't do that." Kendall said poking my dimpled cheek. "I'm sorry i don't know how people in love should look." I looked down at my feet. "I've never been in love." I shrugged.                                                                                                                                   "Eh you're not missing out. I did it once, train wreck." Kendall said. "How did you look?" I asked. Kendall made a pained face. I laughed hitting his arm. "Not when she dumped you! When you were in love you idiot." I said smiling. "Oh that. Hm maybe something like this?" He asked walking up to me and biting his lip. He wrapped his arms around me and laid his forehead against mine. My breath caught in my throat. "Oh, okay." I said. He pulled back. "Let's do another take!" Dale called out.

               We did another take and a few of the techs wiped their eyes. "That was great! Now i need you two to meet me here in the morning to brainstorm idea's for the video. Ten. Dale out." Dale said leaving the box. He was direct and to the point. But i don't suppose i minded it so much. "Okay, well i guess I'll see you in the morning." Kendall said waving. "Sure thing, bye." I said heading to another interview this time for the local country station. I called my my mom on the way.               

          "Hey mom." "Oh my sweet Hazel Grace. I miss you so." She said. "You too! Hey i sent you my new song. Take a listen will ya." I said. "Sure thing darling hang on." She clicked play on her cell phone. I could hear the notes flowing through as she listened about halfway through she squealed. "There's a boy on here!! Who is he??" My mom gushed. "Well see the thing is...he and i are kind of fake dating." I said. "What?" She frowned. I could hear it through the phone.                                    "Yea i know Dale said it would be good for my album." I said. "But honey you're lying to all those people. That's just not like you." She said. "I know." I said feeling guilty. "I was goaded into it and now it's to late to back out." I said. "Is it?" She asked. "Well not without keeping my pride in tact." I said. "I suppose you are right." My mother said.               "I am sorry if you're disappointed in me." I said. "No, it's...you were doing what you felt was best." My mom said. "But this song is incredible honey did you write this?" She asked. "Well he and i wrote it together." I said. "Well i just think it's the cutest and he has a very lovely voice." "Kendall James." I filled in for her. "Well he sounds lovely." My mother said. "I have to go I'm at the studio." I said. "Okay have fun, thanks for calling me dear." She said. "Always." I said. "Love you." I said. "You too, bye dear." My mom said.              

              I pulled into the radio station. Once seated inside with my headset on i waited for Percy Jacobs to introduce me. "Hey you guys! As promised here i am with Hazel Grace Larue!" We just played her latest single off he latest album. Hazel Graze how're ya?" He asked. "I'm good how are you?" I asked. "Well I'm pretty darn good. I wanna know what i can expect from you in the future." Said Percy. "Well I'm doing a song on the new album with Kendall James and were working on the video soon!" I said. "Awesome. I can't wait to see that drop. And were waiting anxiously on the album. Are you ready to go on tour again?" He asked. "I am actually!" I said. "Who will be with you?" He asked. "Um some new up and comers. Jayce Ryland and Macy Blackwell." I said.                  

                    "From our lady callers Jayce Ryland is quite the looker!" Said Percy. "How does Kendall feel about that?" He asked. Oh right were fake dating. "He trust me of course! Were just touring together." I said laughing. "Ah but we've heard many a tour stories!" Said Percy. I rolled my eyes. "Well Kendall has nothing to worry about. Besides he's going on tour with Bianca Ryan And the bantam brothers." "Ohh Bianca is a little cuttie. I don't feel that." "Well i guess when you love somebody you just have to trust them." I said. "Did you hear that folks You heard it right here! Hazel Grace used the L word!" Said Percy.                  

                   We wrapped up the interview and i finally left. Headed home to get some sleep. The next morning i was at the studio sitting around a group of people. Directors and such. "Okay i was thinking this thing would be epic if we shot it in black and white. A classic love song." Said the director. We all nodded. "That could be cool." Said Dale "Now we just need a concept." He said. One of the ladies in visuals spoke up. "I think if we had a bed and they had a pillow fight. Feathers going everywhere." Said Natalia. Dale snapped his fingers. "I like it. I can see it now Kendall shirtless in some sleep pants...Hazel Graze in..." Kendall cleared his throat. "If you're going for sexy might i suggest a big t-shirt short with one sleeve hanging off." Said Kendall. "Well i guess I'll talk to wardrobe about that." I blushed.                  

              "Okay so we'll have you singing to one another in the bed...then we'll have a pillow fight in between that. Then at the end i want this to really get ramped up. We need to sell that you two are in love! Kendall i want you to push the shirt up. Just to see a flash of underwear grip her hips and kiss her like you mean it. Were done. Dale out." Dale said standing up and leaving the room. Wait...underwear. He said it so quickly as if he'd be showing his underwear on screen. "I don't know if i feel comfortable with that..." I said holding a finger up. But Dale was already gone.                                                                                                                                                                                                         "Look we'll record it and let you play it back if it looks worse than you thought we'll talk to him about cutting it." Said Natalia. "Well i guess that's a good thought." I said. "I guess I'm going to talk to wardrobe about a shirt?" She shrugged. "Oh hey, Natalia. Maybe if you can't find one. Maybe Hazel Grace has one." Said Kendall. "I'm gonna kill you Kendall." I said shoving him into the wall.              

               "Look I'm just trying to make the video better." He said holding his hands up pretending to look innocent. "And you lie!" I said pushing him again. "Hey you'd better stop all that shoving they might think this is abuse." I rolled my eyes. "No they wouldn't. You're twice my size." I said. "Yea but you also put me on the floor the other day. I don't trust you." He said. "Whatever. See you tomorrow." I said. "Make sure to wear sexy underwear!" He called. "I hate you!" I called out behind me.             

               But the next morning i did have to pick out sexy underwear. I found a pair of boy shorts. It had lace going up in two lines on the front. They were cute. Maybe even sexy? I didn't know. I brought the shirt Kendall had referred to in our meeting. I went to find breakfast and thought of eating onions. But then i realized why i wanted to and realized I'd have to kiss him. My stomach dropped. I really didn't want to do that. I'd never kissed a guy. Other than Kendall but that was short and sweet. Not like the kiss Dale expected us to do. I scarfed down a bowl of cereal just so i wouldn't barf all over the set and then left.            

                 At the shoot i saw a beautiful bedroom scene splayed out before me. "Wardrobe, hair, makeup lets go people." Said Dale. "Oh Hazel Grace i couldn't find this shirt thing Kendall spoke of so i got this. He held up something way worse than my t-shirt. "Oh i brought one just in case." I said holding it up. "Great, we'll go with that." He turned without saying another word. Hair just sprayed some shine spray in my curls. Makeup went for a natural look. I slipped into the shirt and waited on the bed. Kendall came out in a pair of grey pajama pants. "Hey sexy lady!" Kendall said jumping on the bed.                 

               "Cool your jets." I said. "What i only had three cups of coffee maybe four." He shrugged. "Let's do this people! I don't have all day!!" Dale called out. They did the play back and we ran through the song multiple times. Once we had finished we did the pillow fight. Which was hard the shirt kept slipping. So did Kendall's eyes. I blushed every time. Now suddenly thankful we were shooting this in black and white. Once we had finished. "Now the kiss and the shirt let's do this one last final hoorah." Dale called out. "You okay?" Kendall asked leaning down. "I don't know." I said. "I'll make it quick." He said. But he didn't he slowly pushed the shirt up and exposed my underwear. Kendall sucked in a breath.                

              He pressed his fingers into my flesh. "Ready for the kiss?" He asked. I nodded. He leaned down and pressed a slow and gentle kiss to my lips. My heart was beating wildly in my chest. So this is what kissing was all about. Well i gotta say for my first time it wasn't half bad. I could see how people would make out. He caressed my cheek in his hand. He gently bit on my lip pulling it into his mouth. I wasn't sure how long Dale wanted us to kiss but i didn't mind. Kendall pulled back. "You are really good at that." He said kissing me again. "So are you." I said taking a breath. "That was my first time." I said. He chuckled. "You didn't tell me that." He said. "I was embarrassed." I said. "No need to be." He said.                    

             "What are you thinking about?" I asked. "Just that there are so many more things you haven't had the pleasure of doing yet." He said trailing kisses down my neck. "Okay cut. We got it." Dale called out. "Dale out." I let out a breath i hadn't realized I'd been holding. "Oh man that was intense." I said. "In a good way?" He grinned. "No, in the I'm glad i had that bowl of cereal so i don't puke all over you." I said shaking. "First kisses do that to ya, look I'm sorry your first kiss wasn't special. But at least when you do have your first kiss you'll know what you're doing and that you don't suck." He said patting my back. "Gee thanks." We left the studio.
