By the time the movie was over our Chinese food had arrived, and we were about to pick out a second film when my phone went off. I reached out and grabbed my phone off the coffee table before smiling ear to ear at the screen.
I quickly swiped my finger across the screen, answering the call.
"Hey Boo, whats up?" came the responce to my hello.
"Well Mercedes," I said, purposely drawing the attention of Rachel and Blaine. "Quite a bit has happened. Rachel's in town. Actually she's right here. Let me put you on speaker."
"Hey Mercedes! So I hear your looking for a roommate?" Rachel bit her lip after she spoke, like she was nervous to hear the response.
"Oh my god are you serious! Your staying in New York? That's great! And yeah I was gonna look for a place tomorrow when I get in." At this all three of us smiled. Mercedes was coming back.
"Fantastic!" Rachel all but screamed. She took the phone out of my hands and headed towards the kitchen, turning off the speaker and talking excitedly into it.
"Well I guess we're not speaking with 'Cedes tonight." Blaine joked as he slid over on the couch to place his head on My shoulder. Rachel's speech on PDA had my brain spinning in circles. Did we really never show our affection for each other around our friends?
Blaine seemed to be having the same thoughts as me. "you know we don't have to go back to the way things were. I mean from the sounds of it, Rachel will only be here for 3 days max."
I sighed. "I think you just jinxed us." I turned towards him and curled into his side. "But yeah. I don't want to go back to not being close to you." I looked up into his hazel eyes and smiled. "Even when we were living together the first time, we were distant. I like how we've become so much closer."
Blaine smiled in return and kissed my hairline. I was about to say something else when a flash of light blinded me. Shouting out in fright I turned to where it had come from.
"Sorry!" Rachel said as she came back into the living room. "You guys were sitting so cute together I just had to take a picture!"
I flashed an annoyed look her way but she didn't notice. she was too busy pulling up the picture to show us.
All my emotions eased though once I saw the picture. It was indeed the cutest photo I had ever seen of us. The photo had been taken right as Blaine had been kissing my forehead. The look in his and my eyes were of pure love. Anyone who would see the picture would know.
"It's beautiful Rachel." Blaine whispered. He seemed just as entranced with the picture as I was.
"Will you send that to me please?" I asked, finally looking away from the phone screen.
"No need. I took it with you phone. Mercedes said she will be over tomorrow to come and get me. We're going apartment hunting!" She squealed as she handed my phone back to me. "Oh and you should send that to her. I told her I couldn't talk anymore because I was taking a sickeningly cute picture of you guys. She made it clear she wanted a copy."
With that I sent the picture to Mercedes and also made it the background on my phone. Maybe it'll be a good thing to show affection around others a little more.
