This is part one of two for my first Blellie story! I hope you like it! This is for sure my OTP right now!

Way Too Long – ForTheWin04 – Part 1

The view from the window showed the many city streets down below. Cars whizzed by, stopping and going in a constant, unpredictable blur. My eyes narrowed as I saw a black car coming towards the direction of the building. My sights focused in, and I found myself praying that it was the one car I had been waiting for. A small smile crossed my face when it pulled into the building's parking lot.

"They're here!" I called as I shot up from my spot at the window.

Abraham came out of him room and walked over to the window to see the small car that sat down below. "Finally," he said to me. "They're over an hour late."

I smiled even wider as the five familiar people filed out of the car. "I'll go let them up," I told Abraham, as I moved to the apartment door.

"Hey Nell," he called, causing me to turn around. "Make sure to give him a nice big hug."

I laughed and shook my head. "Shut-up, Abe!"

I heard him chuckle as I closed the door and made my way to the elevator. All the way down to the ground floor, I could feel the excitement rising in me. Of course I was happy to be reuniting with my friends, but there was one person in particular that had my heart racing.

The elevator doors opened, and I made my way out to the lot to see the five struggling to unload their many bags. "Need some help?" I asked, making my presence known.

"NELLIE!" Blake yelled as he saw me. He dropped the bag he was carrying and practically sprinted over to me, and scooped me up into a large hug. The hug I had been waiting for. Ever since Blake and his girlfriend broke-up, a few months after The Glee Project had ended, I found myself growing increasingly fonder of him. He was just so sweet, and genuine (and attractive) that I literally couldn't help myself. "How've you been?" he asked me now, bringing me back to reality.

"Great," I said as I reluctantly pulled out of his hug. "It's so good to see you!"

"I know, it's almost been two months!" he said with a smile. "I can't believe that–"

"Stop hogging Nellie!" another voice chimed in. I peered around Blake to see Michael with a lopsided grin plastered on his face.

"Hey Michael!" I said with a smile as he hugged me, not nearly as tightly as Blake had just moments earlier. "How was the trip?"

"Amazing!" he told me as he stepped back and turned toward the others. "We had a great time!"

Shanna then walked out from behind the car, making herself visible for the first time since I'd come down. "Just remind me never to sit in a car for five days with these two ever again," she said with a smile, pointing at Blake and Michael.

"Hey!" Blake chimed defensively. "You had a blast and you know it!"

Shanna laughed. "I did, I just couldn't handle the loud singing, and the bickering, and the smell!" she told them jokingly. To me she added. "You have to come on our next road trip though, Nellie! It was really amazing! We can just take our own car!"

Nellie laughed, then nodded towards Blake and Michael. "I think I could handle the two them."

Shanna laughed before she shook her head. "You say that now! Just you wait."

"The smell wasn't that bad," Michael chimed, with a grin.

"Yes it was," Aylin said, coming up behind them with her hand clasped around Charlie's.

"Men need to embrace their stink!" said Charlie with a grin, before he turned to me. "Nellie! When did you get down here?"

He walked over and threw his arms around me, giving me a short hug, which was followed by a similar action from Aylin. "Around the time you two were buried in the trunk of that car," I said, answering his question.

"Right," he said with a nod. "We really brought too much stuff. I hope you and Abraham have enough room for all of us."

I nodded, smiling. "Yeah, for sure. After Tyler moved out, there's been a lot more space! Plus, now I get a bedroom."

"Ah, finally off the couch?" Blake said with a grin.

"It would appear," I said. "Now, why don't we head on up? Abraham has been waiting for like 10 minutes."

"Let's go!" Michael said. "This is going to be the best weekend ever."

There was a chorus of agreement before we headed inside the building and filed into the elevator.

"Move in closer!" Abraham said from behind his phone's camera. "Blake, I can't see you! Squeeze into Nellie more."

I knew that Abraham was doing this on purpose, trying to make Blake come too close for comfort simply to watch me squirm. I suppose he got his wish because Blake followed his direction and soon his whole body was practically flush against mine. My back sunk into his chest, and I felt the heat from his body traveling to mine.

"Perfect!" Abraham said with a grin. "Now smile!"

I did as I was told, forcing a large grin. Then suddenly, the smile wasn't so forced anymore as I felt Blake's arms wrap around my stomach, pulling me into a hug from behind. I felt a sense of security from being in his arms, and it was a feeling that I was growing to love very quickly. The flash went off, signally that the picture had been taken, causing Blake to retreat and I silently sighed as I felt the cold air from the room one again settle around me body.

"Nellie," Abraham said with a laugh as he reviewed the photo. "You look so red!"

I fought back a blush and gave Abraham a sour look. "I was squished in with five other people, it was hot!"

He smiled wide, giving me a wink only I saw. I scowled. "Alright," Abraham said as he slid his phone back into the pocket of his red skinny jeans. "My Instagram is now updated!"

"It's not like you don't update it every two hours," Aylin said with a grin as she plopped down on the couch that sat in our living room.

"People are interested in what I'm doing," Abraham protested with a laugh as he walked over to sit next to the Muslim girl.

"Sure they are," she replied sarcastically.

The two continued to bicker, and I walked over to the kitchen to excuse myself from their debate, only to find Blake already in there with a bottle of water in his hand. He had apparently already escaped the pointless conversation revolving around Abraham's Instagram. "Thirsty?" I said, causing him to take his eyes off of his water to look at me instead.

He nodded and moved to lean against the counter. "I'm mostly just exhausted, to be honest," he told me. "I'm ready just to have a relaxing weekend with you guys."

"Yeah, me too."

He shifted his weight, and walked slightly closer to me. "I've really missed you, Nellie."

I felt a smile grow immediately on my face as he told me this. "I missed you too, Blake."

"Promise me something."

"Sure."

"Let's never go two months without seeing each other ever again," he said sincerely. "It was way too long."

"You know," I said with a small smile. "It really was."

Blake took two steps towards me, and soon he was standing right before me, looking down at me from his towering height. I felt his hand move into mine, and he gave it a tight squeeze. I sensed a blush creep up into my face, and when he noticed he only held my hand tighter.

"NELLIE!" I heard Abraham call from the other room, causing Blake to slip his hand from mine. "Where did you and Blake run off too?"

"We'd better get back out there," Blake said before slipping past me and re-entering the living room.

I felt a breath pass through my lips, and I turned to follow Blake out of the kitchen. When I got out to where the others were, I took a seat on the carpeted floor next to Shanna. Even as Abraham began talking, I got lost in my thought. My brain could focus on nothing other than the encounter I had just had with Blake. I began to think that there was a possibility that he could like me too, but my brain kept telling me that that idea wasn't possible.

"Nellie," Charlie said, bringing me back. "You okay?"

I nodded slowly. "Yeah! I'm great!"

"Well Abraham just asked you a question, and you sat there and stared at the wall," he told me with a joking smile.

"Oh, sorry," I said apologetically. "What was it that you asked, Abe?"

He laughed at how clueless I was, before re-stating his question. "Where is everyone going to sleep?"

I looked around the room, seeing the five additional people. Me and Abraham hadn't really begun to plan out the sleeping arrangements of our guests. "Well," I said, thinking over a plan. "There are two couches out here."

"Dibs," said Michael with a grin, pointing at one of the two.

"Me and Aylin can share this one," Charlie said, placing his arm around her from where she sat next to him. She nodded in agreement, and placed her head on his shoulder.

"Well," Abraham said as her turned to look at Shanna. "You could sleep on the pull out couch in my room."

She smiled. "Sure! All my stuff is already in your room anyways."

"So that leaves Blake to stay in Nellie's room," Abraham said with a knowing smile.

I will forever regret the decision I made to tell him that I like Blake.

"Sure," Blake said, smiling at me. He then got to his feet and walked over to where his black duffle bag was, and brought it over to my room. I watched as he walked in and set it down on the large grey couch in the corner of my room before returning with a smile still on his face.

That was part one of two! The next one should be up in a few days! Please give me some feedback!
