Hi, this is my first Fic. I'm from Brazil, but I would like to write in English, I hope not many translation errors. Hope you like it.
I do not own Glee, it would be great if it had, but these characters are not mine.
It was a Thursday in mid-July in New York. One of the hottest days of summer, but for Thad was more a typical work day, he did not realize how much accumulated report to analyze and many phone calls to make. All this because I was near the closing of the magazine, which should be sent to be printed.
Thad graduated six months ago in Advertising - Marketing from Columbia University. Today with 24 years working in the company of his family to Design Pavarotti. It was a famous brand of clothes and a few years ago created its magazine and website to disseminate global trends and news from Pavarotti. He enjoyed his work and loved his creations for the magazine, parades and some interviews that he had to restructure in a hood for the site.
He knew that his family had much money, but he wanted to show his parents and himself that he could win on his own. As he was a graduate he still did not feel 100% safe in head the department, but knew it would be something that would happen soon then his current boss was Mark Campbell. Campbell was one of the most famous names in this area.
Thad was sitting at his desk when he received a call from his cousin. Seeing Blaine name on caller ID. He sighed uncomfortably before answering the call. "Hi Blaine, how are you? How to walk up there, on the 12th floor ? How long! "
"I'm fine ... I know that work in the same building, but our schedules never hit, I can't see you and put a chat. I called to find out if you go to the party this weekend? "
"Ual is already this weekend? How time flies "If this was the wedding anniversary party of their parents and the whole family would be there. More a family reunion in which everyone would be followed, except me.
"You will? We are all waiting for you and hope you take Elliot, enjoyed talking with him that day we met. I really think you are a cute couple. "
"Blaine ... in fact, Elliot and I broke up a few days ago" The voice of Thomas failed this time and felt his eyes fill with tears .
"Really? What a shame! I'm sorry! "Not knowing to act now, Blaine tried to continue the conversation in a natural way. "But even then you go to the party, right? "
"Of course I will not miss it. Besides, I miss them. "
"You have already set the time? James and I are going tomorrow night. Would you like to come with us? Can we reschedule our flight, if you prefer. "
" No, it's okay , I have accumulated a lot of work and probably have to work on Friday night to balance it out " And I certainly do not want to spend more time than necessary , remembering that I do not have a boyfriend beside one of the couples more likely to make PDA I know. " 'll schedule my flight for Saturday morning."
" Well So know you have a lot of work , but you need to have some fun , I'm meeting with James in a bit at a diner - restaurant I like , it gets around here , you like to come ? It has good food, live music and could talk , do not know if you know it is the Tick Tock . "
"Yes I know, I always ask when I'm late dinner . However, I will go, I do have a lot of work is for a next time, ok. "
"Thad if you need to talk to someone, to know that I 'm here!"
"I know Blaine, do not worry I 'm fine really, just a little upset, but it will pass."
"Well, then we'll see on Saturday. There. "
"Until Saturday and send a hug to James in my name."
"You can leave, take care."
Thad hung up and tried to get back to work, but could not stop thinking that he would be the only single person at this party. I could not stop thinking about all the reviews of his cousins , uncles and friends.
He enjoyed his cousin. Since parents of Blaine died he went to live at his home in Westerville Ohio.
Always been close to each other, but more that they grew up together they also had their differences. His cousin was also all he was never in the eyes of their parents. For example, Blaine graduated from Harvard Law School, as it was the dream of his father, and even with several calls work he chose to stay and work for Design Pavarotti. Thad knew it was irrational, but could not avoid a twinge of jealousy she felt about her cousin.
Thad knew that his cousin was not the problem this time, but the fact that he could not stop thinking about Elliot, her ex - boyfriend.
Thad and Elliot were together for only four months, but Thad thought it was something special , they even traveled together to meet the parents of Elliot was the first time he met the parents of a boyfriend . And the fact that they broke three days ago was not helping. He tried to focus on a report that would have to look , but could not prevent a few tears to roll his eyes , could not help but think of the times we spent together .
Thad whispered to himself as he felt another tear fall from his eyes with his thumb and dried immediately. "No, I can't do that here, there are many people in this room." He got up from his desk and saw that Mark was talking to another employee and ran for the bathroom. Seeing red eyes in the mirror, threw some water on his face and dried. Breath and returned to his desk.
On the 12th floor of the Design Pavarotti, Blaine was in his office when he finished talking with Thad.
When his parents died he went to live with his uncles in Westerville Ohio. It was very difficult for him, but Thad was always at his side to help him . Of course , not always everything went well , after all they were teenagers , they had their fights from time to time , but always fond of his cousin . The next considered a brother who never had the chance to have.
Blaine was in this company since her internship for college and liked Design Pavarotti. He enjoyed working with the law, but also fond of the fashion company and especially the beautiful models who paraded through the building. He was always first class and when he was in college already had several job offers , so he chose Pavarotti Design and not because he needed , he always wanted to make that clear .
Began to think about the life of his cousin.
"As he indulges in this way, they were only together for a few months. Of course Elliot came from a traditional family and was very attractive, but even so, I can't imagine having such feelings in so little time."
Wes heard mumbling and his friend could not contain himself. "Who are you talking about?"
Did I say that out loud? "What?"
"Who are you talking about? Whoever indulges in a few months? "Wes asked without taking his eyes from his computer monitor.
"Wes will take care of your life and leave me alone, I have work to do . And stop to listen to my conversations! "Blaine said with a smile, but implying that he was serious.
"It is you who are thinking aloud. Of course I'll be curious. Who are you talking about?" Wes was Blaine's friend since high school in Dalton , both attended the same college and since then share the same apartment and Wes was presented to James Blaine .
Since you insist so much, I'm thinking about my cousin, Thad, he was dating a guy for a few months, but they finished and it seems he is not well with the ending . "
"To me it seems to be something normal! If they were together for a while, to say that probably both had feelings for each other, it is normal to be upset with the ending of the relationship. "
"I do not understand, for me love comes with time and socializing with one another. How can he love always so fast? "
"Not everyone is like you, Blaine, have people who indulge in love and others like you , are afraid to deliver. "Wes knew he was entering a delicate subject, but never bothered to talk to your friend he thought.
"That's not true , I 'm not afraid , I just think that in life , people can't be so impulsive , have to think about the consequences of their actions . "
"This is the typical speech of those who have never been in love."
"What are you talking about? I dating James for two years."
At this time, Blaine looked at the photo of James that was on her desk and felt good to see a handsome, elegant and very warm and it was her boyfriend. James has always been a very handsome man, he was blond, tall , with a well defined body and was also very good in bed . Blaine realized he was smiling this time.
Wes liked to tease his friend and knew exactly what he was thinking at the moment and did not hold back and spoke with a smiling voice." Why are you smiling ? "
Blaine rolled his eyes. "Again with this? Really Wes! You have nothing more important to do? Or else to harass? "
"Actually, I like to tease you . But back to the subject, are you sure you ever been in love ? "
"Of course you do! I love my boyfriend, we 've been together for over two years , but I remember it took a while to get used to each other and that love does not come at once , it was built gradually . We have a lot in common, frequented the same places , together attended the same college and we always have the same travel , ... Really , I am very comfortable with my relationship . "
"Comfortable should not be the word being used in this sentence, but ... ". Wes knew his friend was afraid to indulge in relationship after your heart has been broken in high school in Dalton.
Blaine's phone rang this time and realized it was her boyfriend. "Sorry Wes is James." Hi Gorgeous, is already out?
"Yes, more fifteen minutes and I'll be at Tick Tock, and you?"
Tick Tock is one of the best eateries - restaurant in New York City and the preferred Blaine.
"I'll need another half hour. Okay? "
"Sure, I'll wait for you there! In our usual table? "
"Of course, if it is empty. I'll meet you there. I love you and I miss you. Beautiful bye! "
"Love you too. See you soon. "
Blaine hung up and realized he still had two reports to review before meeting with James. "Shit, I need to finish it soon. " He spoke with a tone through distressed.
"What?"
"Downright Wes, just to annoy me is not? I need to remind myself of why I be your friend. "
"Well, to answer your question: Yes it is annoying for you and if you need, I can help you with these reports and at the same time I remember that I am your friend. " Wes was already picking up some papers from the desk of Blaine.
"Are you sure? I have two reports, if each of us can review one can get out in twenty minutes. I have to meet with James. "
"Sure Blaine, what are friends for?"
"I thought, in your case, just to annoy me , but thank you , I'll stay owe you one . By the way, go to Tick Tock, would like to join us? James will love to talk to you about the wedding. "
"In addition to annoy you, I can also help you. And you can be sure I'll collect the debt in the future, I will not forget. As for your invitation, I will not be able to go, I'm meeting with Monica, we have reservations for that Italian restaurant and I still have to go home to change. "
"All right, is for a next time. And how are the preparations for the wedding? Do you want your best man to do anything? "
"No, everything is in order, Monica has cared for almost everything, even I have nothing to do and there's only one month to the big day."
"It is true, the time went so fast, it seems like yesterday that you were engaged."
"Have you ever thought what will you do with the apartment?"
"How so?" Blaine replied without taking his eyes from the report that was analyzing.
"Well , we split the rent , and I'll have to leave in a month . You will find a new roommate? "
"I did not think much about it. Still not sure. I just do not feel comfortable putting an ad on a website and do interviews with strangers to share the same roof. "He grimaced when he finished the sentence and think how all this would be weird.
"Well , I may not be the smartest person in the world , but you will not share the apartment with James ? After all, you have been dating for over two years. It would be no surprise to either of them. "Wes said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
Without taking his eyes Blaine did not want the report to look at your friend right now. "I'm not sure about it, do not want to rush things, is a very big step Wes ! It's practically a marriage proposal! "He looked at his friend right no. " I guess I 'm not ready for that."
"Well, just think about it."
"O, I'll think."
Over the next twenty minutes both focused on their work so they could leave.
