Sleeping in the Suburbs – Chapter 3 – Love Story
As soon as Kurt said this to her, Mercedes screamed, the loudest Kurt had ever heard, she then lifted him into a hug and started spinning, if the scream didn't draw people's eyes, then Kurt's shouts of 'MERCEDES, PUT ME DOWN, THIS IS GAULTIER!'
'TELL ME ABOUT HIM!...' Mercedes shouted. 'Or do I have to pick you up again?'
'Keep your voice down, and I shall' Kurt said grinning from ear to ear.
'He's, he's perfect, his eyes…oh my God, they're just… sent from heaven.
'I thought that you didn't believe in God'
'Well if this Adonis has been sent just for me, I'm sure I could be swayed into believing his existence.'
There was a knock at Kurt's bedroom door. 'Right on time' He said as Rachel bounded into the room.
'You know me, as punctual as a Swiss clock'
'And the image in my head can never be erased…thank you' Kurt said. Rachel simply looked puzzled. Kurt didn't want to elaborate.
'Anyway…' Rachel began. 'Mercedes said something about a tall, dark and utterly handsome grease-monkey… SPILL'
'OK first off, Mercedes has a big mouth, and second, you can't tell anybody, my dad doesn't want me to see him, besides I don't even know if he's gay or not.'
'But I thought that Burt would be OK with you dating' Rachel said, confused again.
'He says that Blaine's dangerous to be around, and I don't completely know why.' Kurt's eyes began to well up with tears. And noticing this, Rachel went over to Kurt and pulled him into a hug.
'You know it's not all bad, hey, why don't you sing about it' she suggested.
'But sing what? I have absolutely no idea what to do, I've spoken to him once, and I don't feel like I can live without him, but if dad objects, then I don't have a choice' Kurt said, tears streaming down his well moisturized cheeks.
'I have the perfect song for you' Rachel said, jumping up from the bed and marching over to Kurt's iPod, which had been lying on his desk, she plugged it into the speakers and began to scroll down the list 'I'm certain you have it on here, mind you have most songs on here, I would be surprised if it wasn't…AHA'
As she turned round to face Kurt, the first notes started up, she pulled Kurt off of the bed, and the pair started to waltz around Kurt's bedroom. 'Sing' Rachel whispered.
We were both young when I first saw you. See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns. That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles, Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone. So I sneak out to the garden to see you. 'cause you were Romeo - I was a scarlet letter, Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone. Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel. Oh, oh. I got tired of waiting Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone. Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. 'cause we were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello,"
Little did I know...
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said...
I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.
Oh, oh.
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
But you were everything to me,
I was begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said...
I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".
This love is difficult but it's real.
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said...
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think.
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said...
I love you, and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".
As the song finished, Kurt looked and stared at Rachel.
'What, are you saying that I should see Blaine behind my dad's back?'
'No, where did you get that idea?' Rachel said rather unconvincingly.
'Rachel that's really risky, although… it's definitely an idea.'
