"Rachel" Kurt said grasping her arm "I need you help me auddition for Tony again!"

"Emergency audition, say no more!" she replied as he dragged her away.

Rachel couldn't explain it but she had a nervous feeling in her stomach as she lay on the bed.

"Imagine if you will, Juliet's boudior." Kurt told the judges before joining her.

As they did the cold reading the nervous fluttering in Rachels stomach began to grow. Kurt's voice was lower than usual, and she found it rather, dare she think it, sexy.

"Home death and welcome for Juliet wills it so." Kurt recited before his lips collided with hers.

The kiss was not a stage kiss. It was full of love and passion, and Rachel began to kiss back, completely forgeting that this man was her gay best friend.

Suddenly she pulled back and began to speak her next lines as if the kiss never happened.

They finished the reading with Kurt saying "One kiss and I'll desend." he kissed her again, sweetly this time and then ran away.

"Kurt!" Rachel called after him but he ignored her.

She sat at the edge of the stage and began to cry.

"Rachel," Emma cooed sitting by her, " are you OK?"

The teen shook her head continuing to sob.

" do you want to come to my office and talk about it?"

Rachel nodded.

"Alright come on."

Emma held Rachel's shoulders and led her to her office. Rachel sat down a bit uncomfortably, still in the Juliet dress.

"I'm listening." Emma told her.

"I think I'm in love with Kurt," Rachel blurted out, "It started in New York. He took me to the Gershwin Theater and we sang a duet, as I looked into his eyes I felt like my heart was going to explode. Then last week after we went to NYADA we started to cry in my car, he made me feel better. and then today, well you saw."

"Wow," Emma said, "Rachel from what you told me I think he likes you too."

Rachel laughed dryly "Yeah right. Why would he like me? He has Blaine now, their perfect for each other."

"How do you know?"

"Trust me I have gay dads remember?"

"Well Kurt is going to NYADA with you, he hangs out with you when he could be with Blaine, he doesn't try to change you like Finn does, well exept for clothes, see where I"m going with this?"

"I want to believe you Ms. Pilsbury, but I don't see how it's possible." Rachel sighed.

"Tell you what, next time you see him look into his eyes, then compare it to how he looks at Blaine. You will see that I'm right."

"Alright."

Rachel went to the bathroom and changed out of the dress, her sweater felt itchy compared to the satin.

Little did she know that at that very moment Kurt was walking into Emma's office.

"Ms. Pilsbury can I talk to you?"

"Sure Kurt what can I do for you?"

"I have a problem... I"m in love with Rachel!"
