Wooo! We have reached double figures people!
Here is your celebratory chapter :)
(btw, it is a few hours late because I kinda forgot it was a Saturday...)
So where shall I meet you tomorrow? Xx
Kurt stared at the text he had just received from Adam. He had no idea where they could meet up without the paparazzi taking photos and speculating about the two of them being together. Kurt would feel so awful if poor Adam was dragged into the tabloids before he was. Kurt knew there was only really one option, and he had to suggest it to Adam.
Well thanks to the stupid paparazzi, there is only a limited amount of options… x
Do you live like this all the time? Always having to run and hide from them :( x
Well not always but especially with the two of us, they would… speculate… xx Oh god this is so awkward, oh god please reply soon oh god.
Ok right yeah, I suppose. So where do you suggest Mr Hummel? Xxx Phew!
Come to my place, they can't get past the gates :) xxx
Yeah that's fine xxx Oh thank god.
Good see you tomorrow :)
Umm, Kurt…not to sound like a wannabe stalker or anything but I don't know where you live… x
Haha, don't worry about that, I can come and get you from the station in my car :) your train comes in at ten yeah? xxx
Yes it does, are you sure? That's really nice of you! Xxx
Says the man who gave me a place to stay last minute! Of course it's ok silly! Xxx :D
"Uh, I'm glad that journey's over!" Adam told Kurt whilst climbing into the car. Kurt had had to wait in the car park so they didn't get spotted.
"Why what happened?" Kurt loved how they didn't even need a formal 'hello', they already felt like such good friends.
"Had to stand the whole way! It was absolutely crammed full and it just horrible!"
"Oh god that is horrible, you must be exhausted!" Kurt pulled out of the car park and set off towards his apartment.
"God yes!"
"So what time's your first appointment?"
"The job interview at twelve."
"What job is it?" Kurt asked innocently. Adam hesitated, Kurt had told him to aim big and here he was going for a receptionist job.
"It's just temporary, just top pay the bills."
"Oh come on; just tell me, I don't care!"
"A receptionist"
"Oh where for?"
"Some dentist somewhere, I don't really have to know anything, I just have to sort the patient files alphabetically or so it seems."
"Ok, and when are you looking around all the flats?"
"Two today and three tomorrow."
"Where are you staying then?"
"Oh a small hotel not too far away." Adam was about to ask Kurt something but paused when he realised that they had arrived. Kurt was showing a card to a security guard and not long after, the huge black gates swung open, revealing a large fancy looking building with a fountain out the front. Kurt drove into his designated parking space and turned off the ignition.
"Oh wow Kurt." Adam was frozen in a state of awe as he walked through the front door of Kurt's apartment. "Wow."
"Do you like it then?" Kurt said sarcastically with a smile.
"Umm…just a bit yeah!" Said Adam in a higher than usual voice. "God, I'm going to feel awful looking around flats for me later! I'm so jealous." Kurt just laughed this off, staring all the while at Adam's face. It had a soft, admiring smile on it as its light blue eyes travelled over the scene. I wish he would look at me like that…uhhh Hummel? Where did that come from? He suddenly came back to his senses and remembered that he had to be a good host.
"Here, pass me your coat, I'll go and hang it up." Adam handed over his coat, his eyes still drinking in Kurt's amazing apartment, and Kurt hung it up on the back of the door.
"Come sit down, you must be tired after your journey from hell," Kurt gestured to the breakfast bar island with tall stools, "Do you want anything? Coffee? Tea?"
"A cup of tea would be lovely thank you," Kurt opened his mouth but Adam knew what he was going to ask, "Milk and one sugar."
"There you go Mr Crawford, and do tell me if all the English fit the 'tea' stereotype," Kurt attempted in his posh-ist British accent as he took his place beside Adam with his coffee. Adam chuckled softly at Kurt's attempt; the sound gave Kurt goose bumps.
"Nice try master Hummel, but perhaps next time one will achieve what one set out to accomplish." Adam sounded like he had just stepped out of Downtown Abby.
"That's just unfair." Kurt pouted, making Adam's breath to get caught in his throat. Stop Crawford! He's an international star, get over him; he's never going to be yours.
"The parents were trying all this reverse psychology stuff, but the wedding was cancelled because a bridesmaid was involved in a car accident that left her in a wheel chair." Kurt was currently filling Adam in on all the glee club scandals over the years.
"Wait, what?!"
"Yeah, Quinn was texting whilst driving."
"Wait, that Quinn?" Adam got up to point at a photo of a pretty blonde that Kurt had shown him earlier.
"Yes that Quinn, she was in a wheelchair for some of senior year, but she went to therapy with Joe, then she had something with Joe…but that's a different story and then she recovered and stood up whilst singing at prom. Did I tell you that our Prom was dinosaur themed? Yeah well you know Brittany…" Adam sat there bemused as Kurt discussed all of the different events that had happened to New Directions. There were so many events that it sounded like a television show, but Adam noticed how Kurt talked about all of them as though they were family. Obviously all of the eventful days had brought them closer together. He suddenly saw the clock out of the corner of his eye. That can't be right…
"OH MY GOD! I'VE MISSED THE INTERVIEW!" Kurt jumped to his feet and spun around to face the clock. He turned back to look at Adam with a horrified expression on his face. The two men stood there staring at each other in shock. Before long they both burst out laughing simultaneously.
"Three and a half hours!" Adam managed to gasp in-between his fits of hysterics. Kurt had collapsed on the sofa giggling. "We have been sitting here for three and a half hours!" When the two of them eventually calmed down and caught their breaths, Kurt asked,
"So have you missed any of your apartment tours too?"
"No," Adam said, glancing at the clock, it told him that it was almost one thirty. "No first one is in just over an hour."
"Oh good, but, in all seriousness, what are you going to do about a job now?"
"Oh don't worry about that, I'll find something, I'm sure another business can hire me as a receptionist, I'll look around." This gave Kurt an idea.
"I know, the fashion company I have been working with, well it has a London branch and I think I saw a sign advertising for a new employee! I think it was either a receptionist, or just a personal assistant of a personal assistant or something small like that, but I know they pay well. I have been working long hours with them, just because I enjoy it, so they do owe me a favour, I'll call up and ask them!"
"Oh wow, really Kurt you don't have to-"
"Of course I do I just made you miss your interview!"
"It wasn't really your faul-"
"Oh I'm doing it Adam and you can't stop me!" Kurt said before he winked and walked away towards the phone. Wait-what?! Did you just? Oh my…you WINKED? What were you thinking, oh please say that he didn't notice, or just thought it was friendly…which it was? Oh who are you kidding…?
Did he just? Did he just w-wink at me? Nah, trick of the light. But even so Adam's heart was beating slightly faster than usual.
"All sorted," Kurt had returned from a quick conversation on the phone. "You have an interview at ten tomorrow morning; I will pick you up in my car outside your hotel at nine thirty ok? Now you should really be leaving before you miss anything else!"
Please review :) and have a good week! xxx
