I'm Back! You miss me? Lol. Anyway since I have not updated in awhile I tried to make this long. When I started this chapter I had a set plan of exactly what I wanted to happen but it decided it wanted to go in a totally diffrent direction. I quite like the direction though. I was in a Klainey mood (is that even a word?). Hope you like it! Review!
Rachel breathed in the cool, fresh air. It soothed her lungs and spread through her body calming her. She loved the fresh morning air whipping against her face, it was tranquil and peaceful. It made her feel calmer than she had been in awhile. Her life had been pretty hectic lately. Kurt leaving, breaking up with Finn, pretty much having a meltdown and meeting Ethan.
That last one had stuck with her. Ethan was a force. They had just met but she felt she could be herself with him. He was the kind of person who had a natural charisma about them. When they came into a room they were the person you noticed and smiled at. They were also the kind that smiled back. He had her back lately, being a rock for her, regardless of the situation.
She pulled her hat down further over her ears. Ethan was the reason she was currently standing outside the local coffee shop around the corner from her house, holding two coffees and waiting for Kurt. When he had found out Ethan asked her to Daltons latest football game, he demanded a shopping trip. Which she didn't really understand because this was only a football game. She had planned on just buying a t-shirt at the event. But this was Kurt and denying Kurt a chance to shop never ended good, but then again shopping with him never really ended well either.
All her arguments rendered useless when Kurt pulled up at the side walk and honked his horn. Rachel scurried over to the car being careful not to fall. She pulled open the door and closed her eyes for a moment when the heat wafting out of the car eloped her.
"Come on, crazy. I'm getting cold" Kurt's voice made her realise what she was doing and she quickly got into the car blushing. She handed him his cup of coffee which he took gratefully chugging on the contents as he had probably not had any yet. She smiled back sleepy as he flashed her a bright grin.
"You're insane. It's only nine am and although I love getting up early, shopping this early should be a crime against nature." Kurt just ignored her happily humming along to the radio.
Rachel just let out a sigh and brought her to cup to her lips. She took a long sip and felt the coffee warm her slightly while it woke her up. She turned her head to the window and looked at the blurry landscape. It looked more like December than September but Rachel liked it that way. Winter had always been her favourite season. It was a time to wear warm clothes and watch Christmas movies while drinking hot chocolate in front of a fire. She had wanted to do that with Finn this year but they were over now. She figured she could do it with Kurt maybe, have some bonding time and invite Blaine, though she hadn't really got the chance to talk to him he appeared to be undeniably sweet and he was taking care of Kurt, she owed him too. Ethan could come too if he wanted. Truthfully she'd love if he came.
"Beautiful" Rachel whispered looking at the window now taking in every small detail.
"Yeah, I always love a Christmassy atmosphere" Kurt spoke flashing her a smile as he quickly looked over at her, "But that's not getting you out of discussing what you'll be wearing to the game".
"Kurt" She moaned dragging it out, "It's just a football game. I'm pretty sure Ethan doesn't care what I wear"
"Ethan may not but I do." Kurt looked over at her with a look in his eyes and she realised there was no point arguing it was just dragging out the inevitably.
"Fine but can we at least keep it within my comfort level." Rachel sunk down in the chair thinking about the last time Kurt gave her a make-over.
"Of course Rach" Kurt patted her hand lightly, "as long as it's not hideous."
…~~…
"Ughhh….Come on Kurt, this has got to be the fifteenth thing I've tried on" Rachel complained as she stood in a small changing cubicle surrounded by clothes. They had been at this for the last three hours and it was beginning to get annoying. She had tried on several things she liked but Kurt disagreed every time, saying she needed something that said wow. She didn't want wow she wanted food and drink and rest. She was expected to go to a football game tonight and cheer and be excited but there was no way that was happening unless she got out of here soon.
"I have the perfect outfit" Kurt squealed throwing a hand full of clothes over the dressing room door and onto Rachel.
Letting out a sign she picked up the clothes and examined them. There was a pair of navy blue denim shorts, a navy blue short sleeved t-shirt with a red '18' on it and last a pair of navy and red converse. Rachel liked them but there was no coat, she would freeze.
"Kurt, I love them but no coat? I'll freeze" Rachel shouted out over the door.
"Don't worry that won't be a problem" Kurt replied and Rachel could just hear his smirk.
Rachel simply let the subject drop knowing she wouldn't get and answer. She picked up the outfit and opened the door. She walked past Kurt and headed up to the cashier. She handed the items over and bought them using her fathers credit card. She could feel Kurt standing just behind her, still smirking.
"Alright, now that we have the clothes, can we please get something to eat?" Rachel used her puppy dog eyes at Kurt knowing he wouldn't be able to refuse. She had been told time and time again that they were very persuasive.
They headed towards a little café and took a seat. The warm air surrounded her like a comforting blanket eloping her in it's warmth. The café was sort of quaint, not a place you'd visit often, nobody from school would come here. It was decorated in warm reds with plush chairs and cherry wood tables. They both ordered coffee and a sandwich. They ate and conversed, catching up on all the latest gossip that didn't involve them.
A light strum of a guitar stopped their conversation.
You think I'm pretty without any make-up on..
You think I'm funny when I tell the punch line wrong..
I know you get me so I let my walls come down..
Downnn…
Rachel watched Kurt's eyes widen in shock and his head spun to the make shift stage at the back of the room. Sitting on the stage singing and strumming the guitar was a guy wearing a pair of jeans and a loose shirt, his dark curly hair was a mess on top of his head and he had a pair of glasses perched on his nose and he looked extremely familiar.
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I
We'll be young forever….
Rachel looked back to Kurt to see him still staring open mouthed and wide eyed at the guy on the stage. She looked back at the guy on the stage again and realised who it was.
You make me
Feel like
I'm living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
"Is that Blaine?" Rachel questioned eyes wide looking at Kurt who simply nodded his head dumbly, "He's amazing" She breathed out.
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
Rachel looked at Kurt to see him stare at Blaine adoringly. She knew this was good for him he had fallen for a guy who clearly liked him back but they both seemed blind to that fact.
We drove to Cali
And got drunk on the beach
Got a motel and
Built a fort out of sheets
I finally found you
My missing puzzle piece
I'm complete
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I
We'll be young forever
Blaine was amazingly talented, if this was just one Warbler she'd hate to think of them as a whole especially with the small but fantastic bit of vocals she'd heard from Ethan and Kurt's already magical voice. New Directions had some fierce competition.
You make me
Feel like
I'm living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
I might get your heart racing
In my skin-tights jeans
Be your Teenage Dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your Teenage Dream tonight
Blaine hadn't noticed they were in the crowd yet but Rachel could tell he put every bit of himself into his performance, something New Directions had yet to grasp.
Yeaaaahhhhh...
You make me
Feel like
I'm livin' a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
No...
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
Don't ever look back...
Rachel, Kurt and everyone else in the café broke out into enthusiastic applause as Blaine smiled brightly and thanked everyone before heading off stage. Kurt turned back to Rachel a bright grin now replacing his shocked expression. She could see a sort of pleading in his eyes and let out a laugh.
"Go" She nodded her head in the direction of the stage where Blaine most likely was. He didn't have to be told twice as he sprung up out of the chair and hurried back there. She watched as Kurt tapped Blaine on the shoulder while he was putting his guitar in its case. She saw Blaine spin around, his face adapting a look of utter shock when he saw Kurt. She watched them talk to each other and realised she had to get them together.
Review=Love.
P.s. The song used is a version of Darren singing in Teenage Dream live.
