Chapter 3 Part 2

Later that Evening...

I decided to take a stroll through park by my neighborhood today. I had my Kindle with me, deciding it was a good idea to catch up on some reading. As I crossed the bridge to get to this tree I sit under, I saw a face. It looks like Kurt, if that's Kurt I swear this will be the best day of my life.

Approaching him, rather than see him happy, and bright like at my Doctor's appointment.

"Kurt?" I said cautiously not wanting to startle him.

"Oh, it's you...uh...I'm sorry I can't remember your name..."

"Blaine,"

"Ah, now I remember you asked me to dinner, and I told you you asked on every wrong level."

"I would believe so" I chuckled with a smile. He looked back out onto the water.

"So what brings you here today?" he asked me after some moments of silence. I was supposed to be going over to my tree, but I decided to stay here...with Kurt.

"I was going to go read under a tree over there, but something distracted my attention"

"Flattery gets you everywhere, and nowhere Mr. Anderson" he said with a smile to me.

"So what brings you Kurt?" I'm going to get his last name by the end of tonight if it's the last thing I do. He laughed before setting hands on the rail and laughing.

"A memorial you could say," he looked at me, and for the first time, I noticed he looked drained, and a bit worn, whatever it was couldn't have been healthy to reminisce on.

"A memorial for what would you say?" he lifted his right hand, I noticed a Platinum band, oh shit, this guy is either married, divorced or worse, dead spouse he's still in love with. I don't care I'm taking this chance.

"On this day three years ago, I filed for divorce, we met at college. I moved to London, when I got back from my 2 year stay we started a relationship. When I went for my masters, we eloped. His family was very non accepting of our relationship, well his mother anyway, my dad said he just wanted me to feel loved. So I did, we ran off got married and stayed that way."

"Ah, a tragic story...sorry that happened to you though."

"Don't be, you didn't do anything. Besides, I think I laughed and said for someone who strictly topped he was one hell of a bottom bitch. Lord knows I went out got wasted and went to a friends house after that," he laughed a bit more. You would never think someone could recover from odd things in life. But then again, I've never wanted marriage for reasons like that.

"I don't know if this is too forward or not," I started, maybe this is going to work this time. "But no one deserves such treatment. I find you fascinating, and it's nearing 6:00, I was wondering if you would like to have dinner with me?"

"Well your approach certainly changed." I laughed and ducked my head. "To be honest I'd love to, but" a thunder came from the sky above, that's weird, the weather man said nothing about a storm tonight.

"In the instance of needing to wait out the storm, I'd be delighted. Lord I feel like an escort." he said when I offered my elbow, which he refused, damn this guy had some thick walls up but as always I'll get to him. We walked to the edge of the park where my drive was waiting to take me back home.

"Good evening Joe, this is Kurt," they shook hands and Joe opened toe door for both of us to get in.

"Where to sir?"

"Dinner, somewhere with a nice atmosphere, can you surprise me?"

"Will do sir"

Idle chit chat filled the backseat, turns out Kurt enjoys football, his dad remarried during his Junior year, and his brother plays Pro football "It was really scary for him at first, there was this recruiter for one university that over looked him, then his coach sent off a video to Ohio State, and the rest is history" he said dismissevly.

We pulled up at 'Scalini' within an hour.

"Don't you need a reservation for this place?" I chuckled slightly before answering

"Not when you're me," I held open the door and let him walk before me.

"Good evening, can I get a table for 2 please?"

"Of course Mr. Anderson, we have one seated in front of the window, or on the Balcony,"

"Which would you prefer Kurt?" He was shell shocked, his face a mix of shock, and what the hell?

"The balcony is fine," we were escorted to our table, with a bottle of red wine.

"Your waited will be right with you sirs, have a good evening." the hostess said before going back to the front.

"I'm sorry who are you again? I mean seriously I come here once a year for brunch with my friends, not on a whim with a date."

"Me neither, this is actually the first time I've been here in a while. I only bring people I want to impress here." he blushed, oh yes Anderson has still got it.

"So can I ask how you got to I don't know, not even address the hostess and get a table?" He leaned back and took a sip or his wine. There's one thing I truly love about the balcony, it's light fixtures, there's some candles on the side and tea lights stung about. The glow off Kurt's face is absolutely amazing.

"I know the owner, so I kinda own part of this, when he was first starting out, we had graduated high school, the owner's name is David by the way. Me, Dave, Wes, Nick, and Jeff. We had a four bedroom rented house Nick and Jeff shared since they were together, surprisingly they still are together, and not on each others nerves." He gave a small laugh.

"Good evening Sirs, my name is Marie and I'll be taking your orders for the day, can I get you anything to start with or are you ready to order?" Once we ordered conversation seemed to flow so easily.

"Hey Blaine, I heard you were out here" said David. I actually hadn't seen him in about a year, we called chatted and everything, but not actually physically.

"Hey Dave," I went up to hug him, "How have you been?"

"I've been good, really good actually, aside from the recession business is booming. So who's the lucky guy you're here with tonight?" he said gesturing to Kurt.

"Ah, this is Kurt, Kurt this is my friend and owner of 'Scalini' David Thompson."

"No last name?"

"Hummel." he said shaking David's hand. YES! Finally. Not that Kurt's isn't a rare name, because honestly how many Blaine's are there? But it's easier to tie a face to a full name. They hit it off for five minutes before David headed back inside.

"Have a great night you guys, oh and Blaine it's on the house, I'll be sure to let your server know,just leave a tip when you're done."

"Thanks!" Not that it really would've killed me.

Dinner went in silence, with a few instances of idle chit chat.

"I had a great time with you today" Kurt said looking up at me in, we were in the lobby of his apartment building. I would've said my good bye's outside, but the moment we left Scalini's it poured rain. Explain's why it never rained on the balcony.

"I enjoyed myself too,"

"Could I interest you in some-" he was cut off by a large boom of thunder and the power going out in his building.

"Damnit!, I'd interest you in some coffee, but it's a very high climb from here to my apart-"

"Well then how about my place?" I said leaning on the wall with a smile.

"Are you sure, I don't want to im-"

"Please, I invited to you not the other way around?"

"Alright"

AN: Yes I am ending it here! I'll be making a part three to chapter 2, I was conflicted with having Kurt's POV or leaving at Blaine's but I decied to stick to Blaine. Kurt will have a POV as it is important to see him start on his job.

I'm so very for the delay. The museum robbery will be explained in detail I'm writing it. I just had to figure out a way to make it make sense.

Thank you all for sticking around, favoriting or alerting this story. Really makes me smile :). See ya next time.
