Rachel pulled away quickly "Blaine! What are you doing?" she stood up and stumbled back. Blaine wiped his mouth and looked at her apologetically.

"I'm sorry…I just...I have been thinking about that for a couple of years."

Rachel's mouth dropped. "Blaine you were…" she looked around to check the bartender wasn't listening before whispering "You were gay!"

Blaine laughed "it's okay, I was-I am I don't know, all I know is sometimes…when I'm with women. Women like you Rachel…I can only think about you."

She narrowed her eyebrows not sure what he was talking about. "Blaine…I think I better get to work…" she changed topic trying to step backwards, Blaine nodded trying to avoid eye contact.

Rachel began to walk away and Blaine called out to her "I'm sorry Rach…"

Rachel stopped and looked back briefly "It's fine…really, you're my boss… I wouldn't want it to be weird…"

Blaine now froze looking at her with his HAZEL eyes, he supposed he'd messed it all up now…he was just her boss…her colleague had he really just thrown away everything, they're friendship for a kiss.

"I mean it Rach. It was out of line."

Rachel now smiled. "Blaine really its fine it's not the first time I've been kissed by a handsome man and been caught by surprise, its fine really" she laughed to convince herself but she wasn't sure if she was kidding either of them.

There was something there, something hidden something that had been there for as long as she could remember.

They worked in silence listening to the music for hours, a few customers came in and Rachel served them with a smile. They were locking up for the night when Rachel attempted to make things better between them. Blaine was on locking the main doors and Rachel threw her cloth down with a laugh.

"That's it Blaine Anderson! We are friends not siblings, there's nothing wrong with a quick kiss! Now how would you like to come to my play?"

Blaine's eyes lit up in the way that made him look like a child.

"I would love too! What play is it?"

"Sweeney Todd"

"I take it your Lovette?"

"What other role for me?"

Blaine swayed closer to her "I don't know Joanna? She's pretty like you."
She felt her cheeks blush, "Stop Mr Anderson, You'll make me blush"

"Too late, You think it'll be okay though. Your boyfriend won't think it's weird?

Rachel shook her head "For the last time Gareth is not my boyfriend!"

"Good."

"What?"

"I mean…Now I can come to the play…"

They both smiled for the rest of the evening and when Rachel was ready to go she turned with a smile "I'll see you tomorrow night then Blaine."

He returned the smile "I look forward to it Rach"
