Chapter 1: All grown up
"Can I open my eyes yet?" Kurt asked, irritation making his voice higher than it was.
"Not yet, bambino. Just, be patient. We're almost there." Jimmy De Luca reassured, hanging a right onto Avenue A.
"Where are you taking me anyway?"
"That's the surprise."
Kurt sighed, wondering what he did right to deserve someone like Jimmy. Some people would say that they fell in love with one aspect of their lover. With Jimmy, there wasn't one aspect that Kurt fell in love with. It was everything. His Italian accent, his smirk, his amazing personality, his Catholic cross he wore around his neck, his rock hard abs and firm biceps. From the best of times to the worst of times, Jimmy was probably the closest human thing to perfect.
"Bambino, you can open your eyes now."
Kurt slowly opened his eyes to see a brick building, a cherry colored light sign that read "Wild" on it above the front door.
"Jimmy, what is this?"
"This is our nightclub," Jimmy wrapped a tanned arm around him, taking in Kurt's surprised expression. "You once said that you wanted to open a nightclub so happy 24th."
Kurt beamed, giving Jimmy as big of a hug as he could.
"You didn't have to do this."
"But I wanted to. I like seeing you happy."
"I have been."
Jimmy pecked Kurt on the nose. "Ah, but not like this."
Kurt practically bounced through the neon blue corridor, before gasping at the large, red room.
"There could be some lounge chairs over there. Oh, and maybe some leather barstools! What about over there? I mean, maybe we could…"
Jimmy just had to chuckle as his bambino rambled about everything they could do.
What did I do right to deserve an angel like Kurt?
"Finn! Are you ready yet? My parents are probably already there!" Rachel brushed her hair one last time before checking up on her boyfriend, only to find him attempting to put on a tie.
"Uh, can you help me with this? It's kinda confusing." Finn smiled.
Rachel strode across the hardwood floor, heels clicking away.
"Look, I know this is probably scaring the hell out of you, but thanks for meeting my parents."
"Well, I know that it was hard for you to move in with me. I mean, it's not like you've done it before. But I'm really glad you did."
Rachel allowed him a chaste kiss before saying "C'mon, if we expect to get there on time we need to hurry."
"Mommy? Can you read me a story?" 6 year old Caroline Puckerman asked, gazing up with wide eyes.
"Sure," Quinn put down her own novel. "Snow white?"
"Cinderella," The young one demanded.
Quinn set Caroline on her lap, opening the fairy tale book.
"Once upon a time, in a far away land, there lived a girl. Her mother had died and father had remarried to an evil stepmother with evil daughters. They made her clean the fireplace so they called her Cinderella. It was always "Cinderella, make my food," "Cinderella, clean my dress"."
The door slammed. "I'm home,"
"Daddy!" Caroline jumped off her mother's lap to give Noah a hug.
"Hey, princess."
"Mommy's reading me a story,"
"Oh, is she?"
"Yeah,"
"Can me and Mommy have a minute alone?"
"Okie dokie," Caroline raced up the stairs without a moments hesitation.
"What's up?" Quinn couldn't help her curiosity.
"I was just thinking that maybe tomorrow you and Caroline would want to come with the guys from the biker club to, y'know, hang out."
"Are you sure the guys are a good influence? I mean, Caroline is highly impressionable."
"They love her! They don't cuss when she's in the room, what more can you ask for?"
Quinn hesitated before sighing. "I'll try and find a babysitter."
"Thank you," Noah wrapped her in a bear hug.
"No problem." She smiled, before a tickling sensation came at the back of her neck.
"Noah! You know I'm ticklish!"
"Exactly!"
"I'm gonna get you!" Quinn grasped at his hand before smacking his head with a pillow.
The couple fell to the floor, laughing until their insides hurt.
Rachel scrolled down the page of her laptop.
Top 10 Places to Be.
She's never thought that she'd ever look at that site but, there it was. Were she still in high school, she'd be scolding herself. But I'm not in high school anymore.
The very first few numbers read the usual clubs and Rachel wasn't interested. But slot number ten had something new. "Club Wild's grand Opening!" Rachel's eyes lit with interest.
"Finn!"
"Yep?"
"Come see this!"
"Are you sure we have everything?" Kurt pestered, fiddling with his hair a little.
"Everything's fine! I love you, Bambino, but accidenti, once you start you never seem to stop!" Jimmy couldn't help but smile at his boyfriend's embarrassed blush. He's just so cute!
"I just want everything to be perfect,"
"I know you do. Just turn the volume down a little."
Suddenly, the door opened. At first, it was just a few groups of people in crimson, black, and neon; but soon it turned into herds of people dancing, chatting, and drinking. The bar had turned from empty bar stools to filled to the brim with people standing, sitting and mingling. Eventually, you could barely hear everyone over the noise.
"I thought you hated clubs!" Finn shouted over the music.
"I do! But I thought this one would be better and it is!" Rachel answered. "Let's get a drink," She continued, taking Finn over to bar.
The couple made their way though the crowds of dancing people.
"Can I get a Miller Lite?" Rachel requested, resting her arms on the bar.
The overly muscled Italian bartender just smiled kindly and handed her a beer.
For awhile, she just let the music pound through her ears.
Fashion put it all on me
Don't you want to see these clothes on me
Fashion put it all on me
I am anyone you want me to be
But the figure swaying a little behind the counter couldn't be mistaken.
"Kurt Hummel?"
What do you think? Does it suck? Is it decent? Review!
