Chapter 21: Shelby's revenge

Shelby smirked as she watched Kurt and Blaine freeze. She had perched herself on the edge of the couch, her skirt hitching up, flashing a good bit of thigh. Her gaze flickered to Peyton who were hovered in the middle of them. Blaine saw this and reached out, grabbing Peyton's arm and dragged her back, holding her protectively. Shelby smirked and looked to Kurt who was glaring at her fiercely.

"What are you doing here Shelby?" Blaine growled, stepping in front of Peyton so she was now hidden behind his legs. Kurt moved closer to Blaine, to help shield Peyton. Shelby rolled her eyes at this and scoffed.

"Really Blaine? You have to ask?" Shelby asked, glaring. "The police have been searching my office all because of you."

"You sent your assistant to kill Kurt," Blaine growled.

"No, I sent him to steal your novel that you have been working on – don't deny that you haven't," Shelby corrected. "He decided to kill you on his own. Okay, I may have implied it but I didn't say he had to."

"You're sick," Blaine spat. "Get out of my house before I call the police."

"I don't think so," Shelby said firmly and she picked up the phone cord which had been cut. "Good luck calling the police."

Kurt growled and Blaine swallowed thickly.

"Now," Shelby continued. "You're going to hand over that novel that I know you have been working on so that I can publish and rake in the rewards."

Blaine and Kurt's mouth's dropped open in shock. Blaine could hardly believe that he had ever once believed that Shelby was a nice woman when he could now see who she truly was – a greedy bitch.

"Blaine won't ever give you anything again," Kurt spat hotly, his cheek turning red with his anger. "You don't deserve the money that you get from Blaine's books. Blaine is the one with all the talent and you have just taken advantage of him."

"Oh shut up," Shelby hissed. "This has nothing to do with you and like you can talk. You are leeching of Blaine yourself."

"Hey," Blaine growled. "Don't talk to my fiancé like that."

Shelby's eyes widened. "You are marrying him?"

Kurt flinched back at her tone and Blaine wrapped an secure arm around his waist, giving him a comforting squeeze. Kurt's patients was wearing thin with Shelby and he just wanted her out of their lives for good.

"Oh how rich," Shelby sneered. "Congratulations Kurt. You'll never have to work a day in your life. You'll make a nice little trophy husband."

"Hey!" Peyton cried, peeking her head between Blaine's legs. "You can't talk to him like. Kurt is the best! He's a much better person than you."

Shelby sneered at Peyton and she withdrew her head, hiding her face and Blaine could feel her shivering.

"You can't come in here and insult my life and my family. Get out Shelby. I'm never giving you anything again. In case it wasn't clear, you're fired," Blaine glared.

Shelby smirked, standing up straighter and smoothing her skirt. She flipped her hair and gave them an evil smirk. "Listen up Blaine. I'm not leaving here until I get your latest work and you're going to give it to me."

"No, I'm not," Blaine growled.

"Hmm, perhaps my tone didn't convey a sign of a threat. If you don't give me your latest work, I'm going to make this seem like a picnic."

"You can't threaten us," Kurt huffed. "You're getting nothing."

"Kurt's right," Blaine said firmly. "Get out of my house and never come back."

"I don't think so," Shelby growled, glaring at the small family in front of her. She took a step backwards and watched with satisfaction as Blaine, Kurt and Peyton took a step backwards. "Give me the novel you have been working on."

"I haven't written one," Blaine lied.

"You are a terrible liar Blaine," Shelby rolled her eyes. "Don't make me take drastic measures."

Blaine swallowed thickly and eyes Shelby carefully. Kurt squeezed Blaine's hand tightly, sending him a worried look and Blaine squeezed back.

"Fine," Blaine glared and Kurt worried look turned to one of surprise. Shelby smirked with satisfaction and gestured with her hands for Blaine to get a move on.

"Blaine," Kurt hissed quietly as Blaine moved away. "You can't give her it."

"Don't worry," Blaine winced and he moved away and headed towards his office. Peyton huddled behind Kurt's leg and he gently placed a hand on her head, trying to comfort her. Blaine came back quickly and handed over a USB to Peyton who snatched it out of his hand with a triumphant gleam in her eyes.

"Excellent," Shelby grinned. "See, I knew you would give it over. Be warned Blaine, I will be back so best you get writing because if you don't, I'll make sure that you never write again."

"Get out," Blaine growled. Shelby shrugged and flipped her hair, smirking all the while.

"See you soon Blaine," She hummed and then glared at Kurt. "Hopefully not you."

Kurt sneered at her and Shelby turned on her heel and walked out, the door slamming shut behind her. Blaine and Kurt immediately turned to Peyton, crouching down beside her.

"Are you okay?" Blaine demanded, his voice full of worry.

"I'm fine," Peyton murmured quietly. "Is she really gone?"

"She's gone honey," Blaine soothed and Peyton threw her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. Kurt gently patted her back and Blaine smiled at him over her shoulder. Eventually she released Blaine and sniffed.

"I'm sorry you had to give up your book daddy," Peyton pouted and Blaine smiled.

"I didn't give it to her," Blaine said and both Kurt and Peyton's eyes widened with shock.

"What do you mean?" Kurt asked, looking and feeling confused.

"That USB has nothing on it," Blaine smiled. "There was nothing that was going to make me give up my novel to her. Now we can call the police and get her out of our lives forever."

Kurt grinned and kissed Blaine lightly. "Good thinking honey."

"Thanks," Blaine grinned. "Now, I'm sure she will be back when she finds out so let's call the police."

Kurt watched as the police car pulled away with Shelby glaring out the window in the back. Blaine had been right and Shelby had come back and she was pissed. Luckily the police had been there waiting and had arrested her when she had come back.

"We'll order take away," Blaine murmured to Kurt as he turned as from the window. Kurt nodded and stepped into Blaine's arms, wrapping them around him tightly.

"I love you," Kurt whispered and Blaine smiled, gently running his thumb over Kurt's cheekbones.

"I love you too," Blaine promised. "and I'm sorry for everything that Shelby said to you."

Kurt shook his head and gently tucked his face against Blaine's warm neck. "She gone now," he mumbled. "Promise me we will never have to deal with her again."

"I promise," Blaine soothed and Kurt sighed. Blaine just held him tightly, gently rubbing his back. Blaine was aware that Shelby's words had hurt Kurt and he was going to do anything to make sure that Kurt didn't feel that way again.

Kurt gently pulled away and stared at the Blaine before gently pulling him into a kiss. Blaine kissed him back, keeping Kurt close to him. He felt Kurt shiver and gently pulled back, looking at him with concern.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Blaine asked and Kurt bit his lip.

"It's just...she could have done anything," Kurt whispered. "She already sent her assistant to get your novel and to make sure he got it no matter what."

"Hey," Blaine said softly. "She can't get to us anymore."

"I know," Kurt shook his head. "I'm still freaking out a little. What you did was risky."

Blaine smoothed his cheek and smiled at him softly. "I couldn't let her do anything to you or Peyton. I love you both more than anything in the world."

Kurt smiled and pulled him back into a kiss, throwing everything he had into it.

What did you think? Happy reading!
