Thank you for the reviews HarlequinBears and Nurse Kate! This chapter is the longest I've written so far not sure if it's the best but you guys can be the judges of that :) Enjoy!
Message to Blaine 09:38: 'Sorry about Santana earlier. She can be a bit intimidating.'
Message to Blaine 10:21: 'Are you okay Blaine?'
Message to Blaine 10:45: 'Do you want to meet up later? I finish Cheerios practice at 4.'
It got to eleven o'clock and Kurt was about to give up and get on with the chemistry work he was supposed to be doing. It was clear Santana had scared Blaine half to death and he now didn't want anything to do with Kurt in fear that he will be hung, drawn and quartered by the entire cheerleading squad! Kurt sighed as he picked up his pen and started rearranging the formula on the board. He'd been working for about 10 minutes when he felt a buzzing from his pocket. He fished out his phone careful not to be spotted by the supply teacher they had for today and read the text.
Message from Blaine 11:12: 'I'd love too! But I really don't want to be murdered by the Cheerios in the process.'
Kurt thought for a second Blaine did have a point then he tapped out a reply.
Message to Blaine 11:15: 'We could meet somewhere they won't find us. How about your house?'
Message from Blaine 11:17: 'Oh um… okay I guess we could go to mine. Um… It's 15 Lovegate Road :)'
Message to Blaine 11:19: 'Okay then I'll see you there at just gone 4 :)'
Kurt didn't get a reply but he didn't mind all that much he would be going to Blaine's house this afternoon! Maybe it with solve some of the mysteries that constantly surrounded Blaine.
When Kurt was driving down the twisting roads towards Blaine's house he was actually feeling sort of nervous. 'What if Blaine's brother or parents are there and they don't like me?' 'What if Blaine suddenly changes his mind last minute and doesn't let me in?' 'Stop it Kurt! You'll be fine Blaine said he'd love to meet up, so he's going to let you in. And if his family is there and they don't like you I doubt Blaine will tolerate any harsh words or behaviour towards you. So take a deep breath and calm down.' So Kurt did exactly that.
As Kurt pulled into Lovegate Road his jaw practically hit the floor. The houses lined up on the side of the road were beautiful! They had large windows with led designs swirling through the glass. They were all made of red brick and had wooden porches running across the front of the house. The gardens were long and well kept. Each one had perfect flower beds and grass. And a little path leading from the painted wooden gate to the steps of the porch.
"Wow!" Kurt whispered to himself as he spotted Blaine's house. It was beautiful. It had a white painted fence and gate with a white pebble path twisting it's way up the garden towards the steps. Either side of the pebble path were flower beds parallel to each other spouting colourful flowers. The rest of the garden was perfectly mowed green grass.
The house it's self was just as breath taking. The porch was a pale natural maple colour. The red bricks and led designed windows matching the other houses in the street. Beautiful hanging baskets hung around the house. And the front door had a large shiny brass door knocker that matched the brass number 15 on the porch post. Also next to the house was a double garage with bright red doors and more hanging baskets on the walls.
Now Kurt was really scared he felt so out of place in this really posh area. But he was here to see Blaine and he wasn't about to chicken out now. So he parked his car in the driveway and made his way along the pebble path toward the front door. He knocked three times then stood back a bit from the door and waited nervously twisting the strap of his messenger bag around his fingers.
He was beginning to think no one was in when he heard shuffling from the other side of the door then the door swung open to reveal Blaine who looked suspiciously like an over excited puppy. Kurt couldn't help but giggle.
"Hey Kurt come in!" Blaine said a little out of breath as he stood back to allow Kurt into his house.
As Kurt stepped through the doorway he saw that the inside of Blaine's house was even more amazing than the outside! (If that was even possible) To the left was a huge marble staircase with cream coloured carpet that curved round to a balcony type walk way that lead to whatever rooms were upstairs. At the bottom of the staircase was a doorway that lead to what looked like a study. Then directly in front of Kurt was and open space with a magenta coloured rug that ran over the cream carpet from the door way towards what Kurt was guessing was Blaine's living room. And finally to his left Kurt could see through a doorway a huge kitchen with pearl white floor tiles, sleek black worktops and a silver oven, fridge, hob, dishwasher etc.
Blaine's house was breath taking but there was something not quite right about it. It was all so perfect it didn't look lived in. It was a house not a home.
"Is no one in?" Kurt asked Blaine as he took his shoes off and followed the curly haired boy up the marble staircase.
"No. Mum and Dad are on a business trip and won't be back 'till next week and Cooper is at college 'till the weekend." Blaine replied with a hint of sadness in his voice.
"So your living here by yourself?" Kurt asked a bit worried.
"No! Well sort of… my grandparents stop by each evening to make sure I'm okay." Blaine said trying to reassure Kurt that he was fine.
"Oh right… So will I get to meet them tonight?" Kurt asked.
"Um yeah if you want to." Blaine said smiling at the thought that Kurt actually wanted to meet his grandparents.
As Blaine finished his sentence he came to a halt at a blue door. He twisted the door handle and swung the door open to reveal a bedroom that was so different from the rest of the house. As the boys entered the room Kurt dropped his bag on Blaine's bed and went to look at the posters on his wall. There were a lot of posters of the same group of people just in different costumes. In a few posters they were dressed as Harry Potter characters, in others they were holding bug puppets and a few others they were dressed as super heroes. Kurt read a little logo that was in the corner of each poster 'Starkid'. There was another poster of just the guy who was dressed as Harry Potter, in the poster Kurt had looked at a few moments ago, the guy had signed it for Blaine. The message read 'To Blaine, keep up the song writing! Love Darren Xx'. Kurt's eyes widened as he turned to see if Blaine had seen him read that. But he was fiddling about with his iPod and docking station so Kurt quickly moved past those posters and started looking at some photos that Blaine had stuck on the opposite wall. There were a fair few photos of Blaine and a blonde curly haired girl with green eyes and a quirky but cute fashion sense.
"Who's this blonde girl your with in these photos?" Kurt asked curiously.
Blaine looked up after putting a song on and smiled at the photos.
"That's Marie! She's my fellow curly haired goober! And her hair is caramel not blonde." Blaine said smiling fondly at the photos of the girl.
"Curly haired goober?" Kurt asked a little baffled.
"Yeah that's what we call each other. We both have impossibly curly hair and we are both complete and utter goobers." Blaine said grinning at Kurt.
"Is she your girlfriend?" Kurt asked cautiously.
"Kurt I'm gay!" Blaine chuckled.
"Oh sorry." Kurt said blushing. He was relieved but he was now in a fairly awkward position.
"It's fine. I'm really open about it." Blaine replied.
Kurt still felt awkward so he decided to change the subject. "How is her hair caramel not blonde?"
"Well when we were camping out for a Darren Criss concert once I was eating some caramel chocolate and being the idiot I am I managed to get some in her hair. And we couldn't work out what was caramel and what was hair because they were exactly the same colour so ever since then we've been saying her hair is caramel not blonde. Plus I think caramel sounds much nicer than blonde." Blaine explained.
Kurt nodded in agreement. "How do you know her?"
"I met her on a summer camp my parents sent me on when I was 11. So I've known her 6 years. She comes and stays for a weekend every month and we go to concerts and signings and shows together."
"She sounds really nice!" Kurt said smiling at how fond Blaine was of her.
"Yeah she is she's like the sister I never had. I bet she'd love to meet you!" Blaine said getting rather excited.
"I'd like to meet her too!" Kurt said grinning at how Blaine was turning into and over excited puppy right before his very eyes.
"Okay next time she's down I'll get you to meet her!"
"I'd love that." Kurt said smiling. Maybe Marie will be the key to solving the puzzle that is Blaine Anderson.
