Author's Note: I'm so sorry guys it's been forever I know. I've been crazy busy and I got away from writing. Do you still love me? Read, review and enjoy.
"Seriously Kurt tell me where we're goin'!" I whined. Kurt just shook his head and smiled. "A hint please?" I asked. "Fine, we are going to two places and we are almost to the first." Kurt said pulling into a subdivision about half an hour from his house. Kurt pulled into a drive way in front of a brick two story house. Tons of flowers lined the walk to the front door and a discarded football sat on the steps. "Here we are." Kurt smiled. I followed Kurt up the walk and waited while he knocked the door.
"Hold on a second?" shouted a voice from inside. A short black girl opened the door and screamed. "Kurt!" She ran out the door and pulled Kurt into a tight hug. "Oh, 'Cedes. I've missed you so much." Kurt smiled. "I swear you ever leave me again I'll kill you." she said. She pulled us into the house and sat next to Kurt on a little couch. I took a seat in a chair next to them. Kurt pulled away and smiled at me. "Blaine this is Mercedes Jones, my best friend." Kurt introduced. "Blaine Anderson, it's nice to meet you Mercedes." I smiled. "And how do you know my boy?" Mercedes asked. "Well Kurt's been livin' with me for the past few months." I said looked at Kurt. "Hold up, this is the boy you've been gaga over?"Mercedes gasped. Kurt smiled and nodded. "Damn Kurt, you can pick'em! Now you been good to my baby Blaine?" she asked. "I think I have?" I shrugged looking at Kurt. "Don't worry 'Cedes. Blaine it a total gentleman." Kurt smiled resting his hand on my knee. I smiled nervously and looked at Mercedes out of the corner of my eyes.
"So Kurt you kiss him yet?" she asked. "Mercedes!" Kurt exclaimed. She shrugged and looked at me. "If you must know, yes we have kissed. Miss nosy." Kurt grinned. I could feel a blush creeping up the nape of my neck. "Aw, he's blushin'." She cooed. "Stop 'Cedes." Kurt hushed. "Sorry Curls." She apologized. "Curls, very creative. It's alright though." I laughed. "Kurt pleeaaseee tell me you are home for good now." Mercedes asked. "Not even close 'Cedes. Not till April. I'll be back for graduation I promise." Kurt said wrapping his arm around Mercedes arm. "Remind me why you chose to do this again?" Mercedes pouted. "Because I wanted to experience a new culture, at least that's what I said in the essay I had to write to get taken along. But I've had the time of my life 'Cedes. I rode a fricken horse and slept in the bed of a pickup." Kurt laughed. "Hold up, you slept in a truck but you wouldn't sleep on the couch. How did that happen?" She grinned. "Blaine is very charming to say the least and I learned I'm a sucker for cowboy boots." Kurt said nudging my dusty boots with his pristine Converse. "Curls you gotta teach Me." she laughed. "I would if I could. But I honestly don't know how." I shrugged. "Alright, 'Cedes. I hate to do this but B and I have one more stop before we head back home." Kurt said sadly. "I'll let you guys say goodbye, I'll wait outside." I said standing up. "Give me a hug first Curls." Mercedes said pulling me into a tight hug. "You better take care of my boy now." She said fighting tears. "I promise you I will, I promise." I whispered. She let me go and I walked out the front door.
I sat down on the crooked brick steps outside the house. Mercedes was something else but she clearly loved Kurt. I waited for about 15 minutes before Kurt stepped out. His eyes were red and cheeks tear stained. I stood up and wrapped my arm around his waist. I walked him out to the car and open the door for him. He gave me a teary smile as he climbed in. I ran over to the passenger seat and climbed in. Mercedes stood on the steps and waved us off. "I like her." I smiled. "'Cedes is my best friend. When we were sophomores she had a huge crush on me." Kurt smiled a little. "I can't say I blame her." I said kissing his cheek. "Now where too?" I asked. "Still not telling you." Kurt rolled his eyes.
Kurt stopped the car at the end of a long lane. He climbed out of the car wordlessly. I followed him not saying a word, but I already knew where we were going. He grasped my hand tightly and led me down a row of head stones. He stopped short in front of a gray stone. Kurt sat cross legged on the ground and I kneeled next to him. "Hi mom." he whispered. I held tight to his hand and watched him. "I still miss you so much mom and so does dad. I got a surprise though, these past few months I lived in the country. I had to see you before I left for the rest of the year." Kurt said. I wiped a tear from Kurt's cheek. "I'll be in the car." I said getting up and walking back toward the car.
I watched Blaine walk back toward the car. "I think I love him mom. When I'm with him I feel so happy. I feel happy and worth something. I opened up to him with in the first week of knowing him and he told me I was beautiful. That I was the strongest person he knew. I love him. I'm not sure what my future holds mom but I hope he's in it." I said wiping tears out of my eyes. "I wish you were here to see him mom. You would get a kick out of him. I've gotta leave now mom. I still miss you more than anything. I love you mom." I whispered. I stood up and brushed off my jeans. I could see Blaine leaning on against my car as I walked down the gravel path. He met me part way and wrapped his arm around my waist. I climbed in the driver's seat and started the car while B slipped into the passenger seat.
"Thank you for going everywhere with me today." Kurt said softly. "You don't need to thank me for stuff like this babe. I'd do it no matter what." I promised. He smiled a little and drove back toward the house. I held his hand the whole way home and never took my eyes off of our lock hands. My hand was tan and rough with calluses from guitar and carrying hay bales. I had a band aid wrapped around my thumb. Kurt's hand was the opposite. They were beautiful pale with a few freckles dotting them. They were soft and made my skin tingle when Kurt shifted his hand. We are the exact opposite but we go together like peanut butter and jelly. "Why so smiley?" Kurt asked. "Just thinkin' I guess." I shrugged. He cruised into the drive and climbed out. I grabbed his hand again as we walked up the path. I pulled open the screen door and held it for Kurt.
"Hey bub." said Burt. "Hi dad." Kurt said pouring a glass of water. "Where did you two run off to today?" he asked. "I went to see 'Cedes and mom." Kurt said sitting at the table with us. Burt nodded sadly. "I was thinking we could do something special tonight, since you go back tomorrow." Burt said. "Like what?" Kurt asked sitting down at the table. "I don't know, I was thinking we could maybe go to dinner. Breadstix maybe?" Burt shrugged. "Yes, that would be awesome dad!" Kurt said pulling his dad into a hug. He grabbed my hands and pulled me up the stairs.
"Okay, you have to have the perfect outfit for tonight." Kurt said scanning through my closet. I flopped on my bed and laid on my stomach. "Pick whatever I don't care." I sighed. "Yes!" Kurt exclaimed. I could hear the plastic hangers sliding across the bar in the closet. "Alright here, wear this." Kurt said. He was holding up the green polo and a white sweater. "Seriously?" I groaned. "You said anything and this is what I chose." Kurt snipped. "How about I wear the polo and khaki short?" I grinned. "and what do I get out of this?" Kurt said sauntering over to the bed and sitting next to me. I sat up and kissed him hard. I ran my tongue along Kurt cheek and smiled. "Deal." He huffed and deepened the kiss. "Mmm Kurt stop I gotta get dressed." I said pulled away. "Fine but we are making out when we get back." He said sticking his tongue out at me. I grinned and watch him walk out the door. Gosh I loved him. I pulled on my outfit for the night and dug my around in the closet for my sandals. I slipped them on and collected my inhaler, wallet, and phone. I hustled down the stair buttoning up my polo as I jumped over the last step. "Ready Blaine?" Kurt asked standing at the door. I nodded and followed him out to the truck we came home in when we first got here.
I climbed in the back seat and let Kurt sit up front with his dad. I sat quietly watching Kurt and Burt interact. They were so close to each other I felt envious. In the past two weeks Burt has been more fatherly than mine ever has been to me. I pulled at the loose string on my old khaki shorts. "What do you think Blaine?" Burt asked. "Sorry about what?" I said snapping out of my day dreams. "What's a better car? A truck or Kurt's eco car." Burt asked. "My car is eco friendly and trucks are gas guzzlers." Kurt rolled his eyes. "I hate to be biased but considering I drive a pickup I'm gonna have to go with trucks." I smiled. Kurt huffed and stuck his tongue out at me. "Hey you didn't think my pickup was so bad when we camped out in it." I said shoving his shoulder. Burt just laughed and pulled into a parking lot. "Where are Finn and Carole?" Kurt asked climbing out of the car. "They're meeting us in there. Finn had a football meeting this afternoon." Burt said following Kurt inside. Carole waved to us across the restaurant. I sat next to Kurt in the booth and smiled at Carole.
"How was football Finn?" Burt asked. "Awful, there's this new kid and he wants to be QB." Finn said stuffing his face with pasta. "Just because you're a senior Finn doesn't mean you get to start. It's the best guys who get to be out there." Carole said patting Finn on the back. "Is your team any good?" I asked. "Not really. But I still love it."Finn grumbled. "I know what you mean dude. My mom will only let me be a kicker because she's afraid if I get tackled I would break my neck cause I'm so little. But I love it anyway." I laughed. "You play football too dude, god what else do you do?" he huffed. I shrugged and squeezed Kurt's hand under the table.
Kurt and I rode back to the house stealing glances at each other in the rearview. I would miss this so much. We ended up cuddled together on the couch watching 'A Few Good Men' with Kurt's family. 'You want the truth? You can handle the truth!" Finn and I shouted and air high fived each other. "Geeze Blaine you scared the crap out of me." Kurt said shoving me playfully. "Sorry babe." I said pecking him on the cheek. The credits rolled and Kurt and I looked at each other. We said good night and I pulled Kurt up the stairs. I stopped him before he could enter his room. "I'm gonna miss this so much babe." I said wrapping my arms around Kurt's tiny waist. "I know hon me too. But we'll always have this." Kurt said kissing me. "I'm glad." I said kissing him back and walking back to my room.
Author's Note: Sorry not a huge chapter but yeah. I have finals next week so it'll be another week or 2 before I even start writing the next chapter. I just realized this but in less than a month I will have seen Darren Criss live! Thanks so much for all the support you guys have given me while writing this. If people didn't review I probably would have stopped about 9 chapters ago.
